Chapter: 56. Who Strikes First?
Yes…
Princess Belis temporarily gave up on her desire to press forward with quick steps.
The Queen Sister gave me so many opportunities, yet I didn’t cherish them… Now that the Queen Sister is avoiding me, who can I blame?
“It’s me… causing Jeffrey to make a scene, hoping that if you, sister, were here, you could show yourself.”
“You’re scheming against me?!”
“If the Queen Sister thinks so… then so be it. Belis has always known the Queen Sister is incredibly strong… but after seeing those Eight Wings just now, I realized my perspective was too narrow. Hmm… perhaps this is the reason the Queen Sister left home…”
“No, no, no… the reason for leaving home is mostly because of you, you brat… Tsk, since you’ve seen the Eight Wings, keep it a secret. Otherwise, watch out, or I’ll hit you.”
Princess Xue Fei raised her small fist in a cute manner, which not only failed to intimidate Belis but instead gave her the impulse to pat her sister on the head.
But she knew she didn’t have that qualification now.
“…Seeing the Queen Sister still lively, Belis is already very satisfied… Alright, since you’ve said that, I’ll help keep it a secret. Today, I need to take my leave.”
The maintenance of the domain had reached its limit.
The sound of hooves and cries of “Protect the King!” grew clearer, and in less than a minute, this sky would return to its original state.
And just now… the Queen Sister had already rejected me; she said she still doesn’t want to go home.
Belis’s five wings all spread out, enhancing her speed with magic, as she turned to face the sky, then glanced back at Princess Xue Fei with a smile.
“I’ll take my leave for today, sister… I actually have a lot to tell you… but it seems I can only find another opportunity.”
“Oh wow… I really didn’t expect to hear such words from you. Did you really take the wrong medicine?”
“Hehe… The Queen Sister will hear more and more in the future, very soon… we will meet again. Also…”
The purple magic particles from Belis’s speed enhancement covered her body.
But at that moment, she suddenly shot a fierce glance at Xialet.
She was gentle when speaking to Princess Xue Fei just now, but now, she looked a bit fierce like a protective kitten.
Speaking polite words, yet her tone was not at all mild.
“Hero… while the Queen Sister is in the capital, I’ll ask you to take care of her… I don’t know why the Queen Sister relies on you so much… but sooner or later… I will…”
Once the speed enhancement was activated, Belis’s words were interrupted and turned into echoes, dissipating into the air.
Or rather, she still didn’t have the confidence to finish that sentence.
With the complete collapse of Zero.
Only a gradually shrinking base of pure magic energy was left in mid-air.
The sky, when looked up at, had already restored its starry view.
Before this, Princess Xue Fei had transformed her flowing silver hair into the color of the night at an incredible speed, and Miss Shaya returned to this skyline.
At this moment, Ecklight finally broke free from his restraints.
As the base of his domain dissipated, the feeling of stepping into emptiness indeed shook him a bit; although he hadn’t figured out the situation yet, when Ecklight saw Xiya standing in the center of the magic base, his heart finally settled.
The father nods with relief, stepping on some shattered magic particles while casting floating magic to return to solid ground first, as there were still royal matters needing his protection.
Xiya and Xue Fei had to leave a bit slower.
Princess Xue Fei looked up at the direction where Belis flew away rapidly, a mix of emotions filling her heart.
The girl gazing at the starry sky and the girl flitting through the stars had different thoughts,
She came quickly and left quickly, leaving nothing behind…
Hmm?
It seems she didn’t leave nothing behind…?
In mid-air, a delicate pink bag slowly floated toward Princess Xue Fei.
Miss Shaya, puzzled, reached out to catch it.
Until she saw what was inside the small bag…
Her eyes suddenly brightened!
Wow…
It’s a whole bag of strawberry donuts!
Belis, you’ve really outdone yourself!
…………………………………….
Jeffrey’s domain, when in the air, would move like clouds.
When the domain dissipated, the battlefield in the sky had actually drifted far away; Xue Fei and Xiya didn’t rush to the hall in the air like Ecklight. They floated down vertically and still needed to walk a while to get back to the hall.
Actually, it didn’t matter whether they went back or not…
There was the Kingdom Knight Corps and the Light Family coordinating the noble guests over there.
But Xiya, being the Hero, after such a large battle, should return to report the situation to the king, right?
And besides… today is her birthday banquet, and Princess Xue Fei doesn’t want her birthday to end like this.
Thus, at the moment the “crisis” was lifted, the two of them, dressed in elegant formal wear, walked side by side on the way back.
The moonlight shone upon Miss Shaya, reflecting in her eyes, while the sounds of the wind across the fields felt particularly precious after the roaring night.
Miss Shaya raised the small bag high, allowing the donuts inside to completely align with the moon in her view.
“Ah, Xiya, did you see the demon script up there?”
“I know a bit… Let me read it, Demon Territory… Limited supply, thick strawberry pastry donuts?”
“Yes, yes! This donut only sells ten pieces a year in the Demon Territory. It’s really hard to get, Belis, well done!”
Just after praising her, Princess Xue Fei immediately furrowed her cute brows in worry.
“Uh… no, wait, I need to check first. She won’t have poisoned it, right? Is she trying to kill me?!”
“Pfft… Is your sisterly dynamic really this life-and-death?”
“I’m being cautious, because she really hates me, and her attitude today is so strange—it must be a scheme!”
Hanging the Holy Sword Xial on her gown’s waist.
Xiya shook her flowing golden hair behind her.
Brushing off the dust from her gown caused by the battle, Xiya thought about the situation from just now and didn’t know how to describe this farce.
She had already heard Princess Xue Fei explain the general situation.
It seemed that Jeffrey’s appearance was arranged by Belis, with the purpose of drawing out Xue Fei, deliberately causing such a commotion to confirm her presence.
From the situation, since Belis saw Xue Fei, her goal was accomplished.
As they walked on.
Their steps slightly deviated toward the middle, with the taller shoulder inevitably getting closer to the petite shoulder.
“There’s no need to get too hung up, Xue Fei. I see your sister is quite sincere; maybe it’s because I’m the Human Race Hero… she seems to have a big opinion of me.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re only saying this because you don’t understand her messed-up personality. But I see through the illusion… indeed, I didn’t see her lie about anything, but but! My experiences are quite real!”
Princess Xue Fei suddenly stopped, turned back, and waved her hands, looking very aggrieved.
“You don’t know, when I used to sleep in, she once threw both me and my bed into the lake! It’s simply murder against your own sister! She’s a demon! Can you trust what someone like her says?!”
“Well, that’s indeed… uh, wait, Xue Fei, just in case, let me ask… what was her reason for doing that?”
This might not be easy to understand.
Let’s put it another way.
Based on my understanding of Xue Fei…
Was it really Belis who struck first?!
