Chapter 30 This is the usual literary chapter
"Nastasia, you stop!" The girl, who had been provoked to the point of completely losing her mind, shouted angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Tell me what you mean—"
"Master, calm down, calm down." Zhou You patted the girl's back with a serious face—it didn't matter to him, as if everything had nothing to do with him just now. "It's not me saying that your current appearance is getting farther and farther away from the cold and arrogant woman you used to be..."
"Whose fault do you think it's for?" Under the pacification of Zhou You, Young Karena finally calmed down. "If you didn't ..... it, that's why I summoned you, and I can't complain about others....."
The girl took a deep breath before speaking in a voice that had regained her composure. "Now that Nastasia has been banned, you should be able to tell me your true purpose, right?"
"Yo, it seems that my stupid master is quite smart, wow, I can actually see it~" Zhou You raised his eyebrows in a little surprise. "It's true that relaxation and the like are just excuses, and I'm here to smell Berserker - but I can't tell you what happened next, after all, I'm not sure even myself..."
When the girl heard this, she really didn't ask any more questions, she just looked at Zhou You with those sapphire eyes, as if she wanted to find something unusual on her servant's face.
-- but in the end, nothing came of it.
"That's right, Master." As if to dispel this awkward atmosphere, someone suddenly clapped his hands, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile. "I just remembered, you said what kind of deal you made with that Nastasia, as a servant, I would like to know the specific process~"
"Lancer, I also remember that you and I agreed not to explore each other's pasts..."
"No, no, no, Master, you're mistaken, it's not an inquiry, it's just casual chatter to pass the time." Zhou You stretched out his hand and pointed to a row of chairs in the distance. "You see, that's not going to happen with Berserker right now, so why don't we have a little talk until the amusement park closes? After all...."
"If someone listens, it won't be so painful~"

――How many years ago was that?
The rule of the tsars was ended, and the people were given the freedom they really wanted.
One by one, members of the royal family were killed, and even the emperor's family was gathered together and then mercilessly executed.
There were exceptions, and even under machine-gun fire, there were still people who survived.
The emperor's youngest daughter, with a few alchemy techniques learned in curiosity before, and her father and mother sacrificed their crotch to shoot those bullets that were fatal, and she was very lucky to survive the rain of bullets.
But even so... She was still seriously injured.
Bullets of steel tore through the young body, a large amount of blood loss gradually dissipated consciousness, and the ensuing fire burned out all chances of survival.
But fortunately, after the soldiers left, some of the Tsar's supporters found the place, as well as the girl who was on the verge of death.
At that time, medical skills and magic could not cure this injury, and the survivors who had become everyone's shouting and beating could not secretly transfer the girl to a better medical facility, so they had no choice but to use an artifact inherited by the royal family to link the girl's life with the willing maid, and then freeze it together.
Then, nearly 90 years passed.....
……
….
..
"So your real name should be Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, the youngest daughter of Nicholas II, the only survivor of the legend to have escaped that massacre, and the last heir of the Romanov dynasty, right?"
Zhou You bit the cone in his hand and said vaguely.
"I'd rather you call me Karena if you could." The girl did not deny it, but she did not affirm it positively.
"Well, Karena ......," replied someone as if he didn't care. But as a matter of common sense, you should destroy the Bolsheviks who have killed your family, so why should you make a wish to the Holy Grail to kill all the remnants of the Tsars - that is, yourselves? ”
"That's what I did when I first woke up from my slumber, and I hated only the murderers of my family, the enemies who overthrew my dynasty, but after learning about the current situation, these hatreds gradually faded - of course, this is not forgiveness, even now I still want to eat the flesh of those fellows - but now it has been 90 years, and under the power of time, all the murderers have been reduced to dust, and even their families are scattered, So even if I wanted revenge, I couldn't find anyone alive. The girl spoke calmly, and no expression was visible on her delicate face. Moreover... After I woke up, she was patient, but gentle and constantly enlightened me. ”
"'She' is... That older sister of yours? ”
"That's right." Karena confirmed Zhou You's speculation. "By generation, she is only a distant relative in the family, not even in the aristocratic system, but she has accompanied me from childhood to adulthood, although the title is master and servant, but I have always regarded her as my sister in my heart - in the end, it was she who gave half of her life to share with me, which allowed me to save a life....."
"And she.... What about the current situation? Zhou You, who was on the side, asked at the right time. You should have gotten the news from that little girl, right? ”
- It's like being half of the most attentive listener, where someone just listens quietly and then asks only a question in the crucial part.
"It's dead, it's suicide." The girl looked up at the sky, as if reminiscing about the past—but the words remained as calm as ever. "According to Nastasia, after covering my escape, she was captured by the remnants of the Tsar, and then..... after an unimaginable humiliation, she found an opportunity to pierce her heart with a red-hot torture instrument and die....or, should I say, be relieved."
"But..."
"Needless to say, I know what you're asking." Karena interrupted her servant's words. "At first, I didn't believe that those guys could do such a thing, but after all, it has been more than 90 years, and my father's loyal courtiers have long since aged and died with their enemies, so now the remaining... It's just a bunch of despicable speculators who bear the name of the Tsar's widow. ”
In this one-sided story, the girl's voice gradually became hazy. "They started out using my status to raise money and troops, then they made deals with the big guys, using my sister as a plaything - the funny thing is that only I didn't know about it from start to finish - and in the end, they even wanted to use me as a commodity in exchange for a piece of land rich enough for them to spend the rest of their lives in luxury..."
"These are the last of the Tsar's supporters, and their so-called loyalty is like a shadow in the wind, ethereal, and vanished in the blink of an eye—"
