At night, in the territory of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, in the temporary palace of the Charming Maple City.

The neat and beautiful little princess Livaki was sitting on the windowsill and teasing a bird in a cage.

The bird is not ordinary, this little bird is actually a burning low-temperature flame, and after Ben Rachel used the spell "Awaken the Spirit of Fire" to awaken its life, it was cast a spell to shape its body and limit its temperature before it became a small fluffy little chick in the hands of the little princess who looked like a small flame but felt fluffy.

Gently rubbed the little firebird's head with one finger, watched the cute little creature roll in the palm of his hand, and felt the warm breath that could still warm his heart even under the cold wind of the Hoth Mountains, the little princess Livaqi showed a childlike smile from the bottom of her heart, and a pair of white and tender little feet also rippled happily in the snowflakes falling outside the temporary palace.

But...... Now the only thing the little princess regrets is ...... There is no one to play with him, and the old king, who is usually a little arrogant but very humble and makes his aristocratic children not know where they have gone, and the old king, who usually likes to babble and say something unclear to himself, has also left............

Thinking of this, Livaki became unhappy again.

Although she is only a little girl, children are actually more sensitive to the changes in things around her than adults.

For example, the little princess Livaqi, although she doesn't know what is happening in this country, she can feel the change in the attitude of the people around her, although her title has changed from the original "Her Royal Highness the little princess" to the current "Queen", but...... Livaki could feel that the smiles on the faces of the nobles were gone, replaced by an even more bizarre emotion, as if ...... It's like talking about a valuable cargo, and this feeling makes the always innocent and happy little Livaqi a little afraid............

"Little bird, little bird, what's wrong with our country, how do I feel like I'm going to be sold, like being sold to an evil witch in a foreign land like little Sally in a fairy tale............"

Seeing the still jumping flame bird rubbing in the palm of her hand, the little princess Livaqi, who was worried in her heart, couldn't help but muttered to herself.

"What are you worried about? Your Royal Highness, our lovely little princess, are the flowers not showy enough, or are the birds disobedient?"

Just when the little princess's mood was a little low, Ben Rachel, who was wearing a fiery red mage robe, was already standing quietly behind the little princess.

Facing the three moons that had slowly risen, Ben Rachel carefully draped a warm fur coat over Livaqi's thin shoulders, and in the hazy moonlight, the thick coat was completely sheltered from the cold wind, and the soft down was slowly rhythmic in the breeze mixed with ice and snow............

"Grandpa Nocane"?

Surprised, little princess Livaki looked back, and she saw Ben Rachel's kind face as usual.

However, Grandpa Nokany, who used to happily answer himself or bring some small gifts, just smiled and rubbed Livaqi's little head this time.

Little Livaqi...... Did you know that in the distance, after crossing the third main peak of the Howth Mountains, you can see a very beautiful country, which is also one of the countries that have lived in this part of the Howth Mountains for generations, and they are very good at growing "winter white sugar cane" that adapts to the cold, so they always have a lot of gummies to eat............ Little Livaqi, you ............"

"So...... Are you going to send me there?"

Before Ben Rachel could finish his words, little Livaki quickly interrupted the fat old man's description.

In the cold moonlight, the beautiful little girl lowered her head, and her fingers on her coat clenched a lot.

"Grandpa Ben Rachel, our country has perished, right, even if those uncles and grandfathers call me Queen, but our country has perished, right?"

Gently holding the flame bird in her hand, Livaki slowly shrank her entire body into her coat.

"I know...... I've read in books that princesses who have lost their country always have to leave their country for a foreign country...... Although those princesses can have brave men to help the country recover, but in reality...... I'm afraid that the princess who left the country will never come back............"

As the little princess Livaqi's voice became quieter and quieter, the room fell into a deep silence, and even Ben Rachel could only gently touch the little princess's hair for a long time.

Livaqi...... Life is helpless, although it is a little too early, but now you must understand that your loyal nobles will take you to another more beautiful and wealthy country, the entire territory of the Maple Leaf Kingdom in exchange for property can make you worry about food and clothing, as long as you are still the queen of the Maple Leaf Kingdom for a day, you will never have to worry about not finding happiness, in that country with delicious gummies, you can find more friends............"

Carefully unleashing a little flame around Livaki to dispel the cold, Ben Rachel's voice was full of helplessness and sadness, a little snowflake slid down on the windowsill with the wind, and the warm light of the fire soon melted the last piece of ice and steamed.

After staring silently at little Livaki sitting by the window for a long time, Ben Rachel slowly turned away reluctantly.

"Grandpa Ben Rachel, are you leaving me too?"

In the silence of the night, Livaqi, with her smiling face buried in the down of her coat, murmured in a barely audible voice.

Ben Rachel, who had already walked to the door, paused slightly, but at last he stepped out of the door without a sound.

"Livaqi, my little princess, you are a handful of sweet springs to nourish my heart, I don't know how many bad things the old man has done, I didn't expect to be able to truly understand my heart in my old age, when I was already eating and waiting to die............"

Walking up the makeshift wooden staircase onto the snowflake-dancing city streets, Benlachel silently looked up into the distance.

In the distance, the volcano, which looked like a giant beast in the night, remained there quietly, proclaiming its inviolable majesty with its huge body that seemed to connect heaven and earth............

Watching the moonlight slowly obscured by the clouds, Ben Rachel's face became more and more cold took a deep breath, and then, with the rising flames, the fat old man's figure flew towards the distant volcano under the impetus of the flames.

"Dad was right............ I'm not good for selling apples and not for being a mage, but ...... Even if it's an apple seller, at some point...... I will also do my best to protect my stubbornness......"!

The dazzling light of the fire flickered in the night sky, and soon the cold night fell silent again............
