...... Ray.

...... Brother.

The two words were joined together, as if they had suddenly become obscure ancient arcane incantations. It took Ivan several seconds to figure out what that meant.

Angel's brother is Rey, who is ...... Crow?

Angel is Raven's sister?

But didn't Vincent have only one son? Who was this so-called Her Highness Angel? She said that her brother was not her own brother...... Is this true? What is her relationship with Vincent? Ivan was confused by a large number of questions that followed, and he held his breath, trying to hear all the voices next door.

Bang dang.

The heavy wooden cane slammed to the floor, and Angel's body fell to the edge of the bed, but she didn't fall firmly on the cold ground, a sheepskin-gloved hand held her.

The gray dove cooed violently and swirled at Angel's feet.

"You're Angel?"

Gentle, bland, and with a little amusement of the voice, Angel raised her head suddenly. At the same time, Ivan also gasped hard.

Actually, it's really him!

That's right, it was his voice, the crow who said goodbye to Ivan in a stranger-like voice on the crater of Taka Desert. Ivan felt that he and the crow were not acquaintances, strictly speaking, as the executor of the alliance of magic wizards, he and crows should be enemies. However, the crow helped him and saved his life, which is considered as a debt to the crow.

"Brother Rey doesn't remember me anymore?"

Angel's voice seemed very empty. Outside the window, the white moonlight and the icy north wind broke into the small room with the smell of medicine, reflecting the desolate hoarfrost.

It was a clear night, but with the windows and doors of all the houses in Price City closed, no one could appreciate the lonely moon in the mountains. The crow stood in the moonlight, staring at the seemingly weak girl.

"I remember...... However, you look as if you have changed. ”

Gently helping Angel to sit on the edge of the bed, the crow let go of her hand and took a step back. In the dim moonlight, the pitch-black cloak lifted in the wind, like an ominous bird spreading its jet-black wings. With his back to the light, he had a vague smile on his lips, but he buried his eyes in the shadows under his hood.

Angel's purple eyes reflected the moonlight, brighter and brighter, and her big eyes looked like lamps made of glass, like well-polished gems, like some strange but exquisite artifact. I can't see the emotion, but people can't help but be attracted to her.

"Brother Rey has changed too! But I can still recognize Brother Rey. Angel smiled, her light brown hair dancing in the wind, and the lace of her white pajamas was lifted by the wind, but she didn't seem to feel the cold at all. "Before, it was that time...... When I was in the palace church...... I was burned, but a kind person helped me heal my wounds, and as a result, it was not the same as before. ”

Angel had emerald green pupils similar to those of a crow, but now they are completely purple.

"Hmm...... At that time, the burns were very severe. ”

The crow's voice was a little dry, and he leaned against the window, lowered his head, and his eyes couldn't help but darken. He still remembered that when he rushed out of the White Maple Pavilion with the black elf, he could no longer find Angel'er. He heard the frightened cries of the people, and saw the light of the fire from a distant corner like a brilliant flower that suddenly bloomed.

"The burns are very severe—" Angel dragged out a long voice in distress, revealing a miserable smile, "yes, it was really miserable at that time, the screens and wooden chairs in the church were all on fire, and there was so much smoke...... I can't even see with my eyes!"

Angel buried her face in her hands, as if she had returned to the beginning, her emerald green eyes were so painful that the black smoke that filled the air everywhere was as painful as fire, and she could only cover her face with her hands, and sat down under the statue of the goddess with her arms outstretched and smiling kindly, weeping helplessly.

"The burns really hurt, it hurts to breathe, and the air can't be inhaled at all!" Angel covered her face and muttered loudly in a complaining tone, "The wooden fence next to the statue of the goddess also burned, and sparks flew to my skirt, and the skirt burned all at once...... I heard, the stained glass, shattered with a thud, and behind me was the goddess, but the goddess didn't help me at all!"

"You, what are you doing in the church......

The crow's expression now can be described as crying and laughing, perhaps more like crying. The chapel in the old royal palace of Ode City is not close to the White Maple Pavilion, and it takes ten minutes to run there. At that time, the crow had no idea to go to the church to look for Angel, and he climbed to the high bell tower and looked around until the fire was lit on all sides.

Angel stuck out her tongue as if embarrassed, and raised her hand to pat the sheets beside her.

"Can Brother Rey sit next to me?" Angel's eyes twitched with surprise and anticipation.

"yes, yes. The crow agreed without hesitation. He lifted the hood of his cloak to reveal the dark brown hair that Angel was familiar with, and as soon as he sat down, Angel suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.

That's not as simple as "hugging" at all!

Angel seemed to use all the strength of his body, as if he wanted to crush his bones, the crow did not expect Angel to suddenly burst out with such great strength, he endured the breathless pain, and gently hugged Angel's shoulders.

"Because Brother Rey at that time was so scary. Angel whispered like a well-behaved kitten, "If I don't run, will Brother Rey kill me too......?"

The raven did not answer.

Because the air in his lungs was squeezed out, he couldn't speak. He patted Angel on the shoulder, and Angel let go of her hand so that the crow could catch her breath.

“...... I didn't mean to kill you. He smiled hard at Angel. Yes, seeing corpses all over the ground and people with daggers in their hands, Angel's reaction to wanting to run away is normal. Even if Angel hadn't run away, what could he do?

"I can't kill you, I killed Charles because—"

Angel cocked up her index finger and motioned for the crow to go on.

"I know, because Brother Rey is the son of Uncle Vincent. ”
