"Why did you call me?"
"Something happened, and the owner showed up." The leader of the Black Knife, Aleto, had an expression that said you know what I mean.
"Ugh."
Marika knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to be nearly four months later. The other party probably never guessed that it was her who did it.
But, there will be such a day after all.
Malycus, one day you will find that it was I who stole your destined death.
She was not afraid that Malicus would meet Godwin and discover that he was destined to die.
The law of death had long been incorporated into the deepest part of his body, with the law of the sun as a cover.
As long as her son was not foolish enough to use the fatal death in front of Malycus, he would not be able to discover the law of death.
As for the Black Blade of Death and the Death Knight, they had been hidden by Marika long ago.
The people only knew that their armor was different, but could not tell what abilities they used or what laws they worshipped.
All we need to know is that he is Golden Godwin's subordinate, and that's enough.
She closed her eyes, paused for a moment, and asked, "How long will it take for Malikus to come over?"
"At the current speed, it will take about ten minutes." The expression of Aleto, the leader of the Black Blades, was very relaxed. She made sure that when she took action, the Black Sword Malicus would not notice it at all, so it would be nothing if he found her now.
"I need to prepare."
Marika stood up, wrapped her coat tightly around her, went outside, and asked the maid to prepare a pot of hot tea and some cakes.
In a pavilion outside the queen's boudoir, Marika sat at a stone table, waiting for Maliks to arrive.
Just as the leader of the Black Blade, Aleto, said, ten minutes later, Malicus in a gray robe arrived at the pavilion.
He raised his head, his eyes full of tears, reflecting the woman wrapped in a black coat, with long golden hair reaching her waist and an expressionless face.
Maliks half-knelt in front of her, "Malika, I betrayed your and Two Fingers' trust, and I lost my destined death."
"Get up, my brother. I know about this matter. Don't blame yourself too much."
Marika's expression was very cold and she poured a cup of tea for Maliks.
The latter still had his head down, with deep guilt in his voice.
"I tried to look for it, but I have no news. Two months ago, I felt an outburst of the power of death, probably at Lake Lienya, but I found nothing."
It would be strange if they could find it, as Godwin was in the underground corrupt lake at that time.
Marika was not surprised at all. She just glanced at Maliks and continued, "Really? What are you going to do?"
"I can feel that the power of death has not dispersed. I am going to find my destined death." Malicus lowered his head.
"I can send someone..."
"No, no, this is my mistake, it's my responsibility, I just came to say goodbye to you."
Malicus interrupted Marika and shook his head repeatedly, with self-blame overflowing from his words.
He continued, "It's my problem, I will solve it myself, and I will find the destined death before it causes big problems."
"Really?" Marika nodded.
"By the way, I heard that Godwin killed the Goddess of Corruption? How did he do it?" Malicus was a little confused, and also quite surprised.
Others don't understand, but he is the one who understands it best. There is no predetermined death. Even if you are a demigod, there is basically nothing you can do against a god. The most you can do is seal him.
Marika paused, tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and looked at Maliks with some hesitation.
“I did it.”
"I see. That's not surprising." Malicus thought that it was Marica who gave Godwin credit and acted in private, so he no longer doubted it.
He apologized again and said goodbye to Mallika.
After he left, the leader of the Black Blade, Aleto, appeared, sat opposite her, picked up the teacup, and started drinking by himself.
"He never doubted you and Godwin until the end."
"I know."
Marika had a calm expression, "Go and notify Death Black Blade and tell Godwin not to use Destined Death next time."
"Yeah." Aleto, the leader of the Black Blade, drank his tea, "We are all accomplices in this matter."
Chapter 25 Sigh
Magic Academy, office.
The morning beams of light slowly fell on Lake Lienia, creating golden ripples and making the walls of the magic academy look even whiter.
"You really should give up these official duties. To be honest, your magic hasn't made much progress recently, right?"
Roland noticed this when he was helping Lani with her work and whispered to her.
"This is a border area. Strength is everything. I think you should know that you must improve your strength to the heroic level, from Princess Lani to Witch Lani."
"I understand." Lani nodded. "But there have been too many things going on recently, and there really is no suitable person to take charge of. How about I leave it all to you? That way I will be most assured, brother."
"Then delegate the task to someone you recognize. Those Kalia Knights are good candidates."
Roland handed the document over and it touched Lani's white little hand.
She wanted to take it, and tried several times, but she only grabbed Roland's fingers and palm.
One was not paying attention and used too much force.
Lani's body tilted and she almost fell into Roland's arms, but he held her up with his hands.
"Be careful."
"Oh."
She took the document, but her mind was not on it and she would be dazed from time to time.
"What are you thinking about?" Roland noticed that something was wrong with her today.
"Nothing. I seem to understand why my mother married that bastard." Lani supported her chin with her hand and stared at Roland.
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly thinking about these things?"
Roland didn't understand. "What happened in the past is in the past. I don't think Radagan really wants to abandon you."
"That bastard just abandoned us and our mother!"
When Lani said this, she did not hide her hatred at all, and everyone thought it was normal for her to hate Radagon.
She paused, took a deep breath, and gave an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry for letting you see me like this."
"It's fine if it's not. There's no need to pretend with me, so why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Roland could understand her emotions, but he had no idea why this matter was suddenly brought up again.
Lani was silent for a moment, then said, "That's true, my brother. Then let me rely on you for a while?"
"Do you need me to lend you my shoulder?" Roland raised the corners of his mouth slightly and joked with her.
"It's been so long, I have no tears left."
The red-haired girl said this, but she still moved closer to Roland. The two of them were already very close, and now they could almost touch each other's arms easily.
She was wearing a short sleeveless dress today, with the hem reaching above her knees. In order to make it easier for work, Roland took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a part of his forearms.
Their skin touched each other and felt a little cold. Since she majored in ice magic, her body temperature was always lower than that of ordinary people.
Roland looked around and could sense the presence of Miss Dixi. He and Lani could be seen sitting on the sofa in the corner.
Miss Dixi was holding a drink and looking at them. For a moment, she looked at Roland, smiled, crossed her legs, and put her slender calves on her knees.
He stepped back a little to the other side, Lani took a glance, and then moved closer again.
"My brother Latan is coming back, and the estimated time is this afternoon."
"Ah."
He had known about this for a long time, and Roland continued to listen to Lani's account of the follow-up.
"Unlike me, Brother Latan considers Geqifulei as his idol, regards...his red hair as his pride, and always says that he wants to be a hero like his father.
He started traveling around the border a long time ago, and there has been very little news about him over the years. Although he values family ties, he disappears every once in a while, and even I can't find him, let alone any news about him."
Lani's voice was very soft, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.
"Last year was the most difficult year for me. My mother gradually became like that, half crazy, and the academic school had noticed it and was only one step away from taking action.
I can probably imagine that if the two sides really go to war, the current strength of the Kalia royal family will probably be completely defeated, and it will be good enough to be able to hold on to the Kalia castle.
Not to mention the two fingers, if I didn’t have my brother, I don’t know how I would have fought against my fate.”
They were so close that Lani could rest her head on his shoulder by just turning her head.
She closed her eyes and held Roland's hand. "In the past year, you have been more like my brother."
"I am your brother." Roland turned his head and recalled the conversation with Miss Black Knife that night.
Is it possible that Lani likes him?
Might as well say that Melina likes him!
Lani, who was abandoned by her father in her childhood, was chosen as a god by two fingers when she was a girl, and wrote "No one may take this thing. All the loneliness on the other side of the night belongs only to me."
How could I possibly like him?
Definitely dependent.
Roland had a lot of experience in getting along with his sister. He looked at Lani's profile. She leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, breathed steadily, and held his fingers.
Where is your usual little tsundere self?
Why aren't you coming?
He was not really used to Lani talking to him so openly and without any restraint.
"..."
I could smell the fragrance of her hair, feel the weight on my shoulders, and feel the coolness on my fingers.
They sat together, as if they had never been so close before, with only their fingers touching at most.
The light of the golden tree slowly climbed into the room, like a vine, and a vine stretched out through the small window.
The air was so quiet that one could hear the sound of light shattering, but in reality one could only hear the other person's breathing and heartbeat.
Lani slowly opened her eyes. The weak little girl just now seemed to have never appeared, and was replaced by the ordinary Moon Princess.
Her expression was cold, she held her head and whispered, "Thank you, brother.
I will listen to your advice and try to delegate the work to someone else.
Brother Latan will be back in the afternoon. Will you go with me to pick him up?"
"I won't go." Roland patted her head, but she knocked him away with her hand.
"Okay, I'll go get ready then." Lani stood up and stretched lazily.
She walked quickly to the door, leaving Roland alone in the room. Before leaving, she turned back and smiled, with mischief in her eyes.
Roland shook his head, his smile mixed with helplessness. After she ran out, he looked down and saw the unfinished official business. He stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the table, and looked towards the door.
"you?!"
It was unrealistic to ask Lani to come back at this time, so he had to do it himself.
Roland sat back in his chair, ready to continue his work, when he felt a sinking sensation in his arms.
"Your Highness, how does it feel to be liked by a beautiful princess?"
"...I don't like it."
He put his arm around Di Xi's waist, the slender feeling was really comfortable, and lowered his head to handle official business.
"I still feel that it's completely the sister's dependence on her brother's emotions."
