The person who came was Rachel, whom I hadn't seen for several days.

She finally came out!

"Who are you!" The team had just walked out of the capital when they encountered someone blocking the way. Melsusa drew her weapon at the first moment.

"Don't be nervous, she's not an enemy!"

Sean raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him who were ready to move, and glanced at Lucille beside him... At this moment, Rachel was standing at the door of her carriage, and this time her favorability was [Friendly], which at least proved that she had no enemies.

"Don't move, I'll go over and take a look." Lucille said, and walked towards Rachel alone.

Sean wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Frelia on the other side...

"Your status is not suitable for the past."

Behind him were Jagun's commanders and soldiers watching him, and any move he made would be noticed.

"Um."

Sean nodded and could only watch as Lucille slowly approached Rachel.

"Sister, why are you here? You..." I wanted to ask how you have been doing recently, but I was afraid to mention the time when the two of them fought, so I just gave up.

In Lucille's mind, even though the other party had deceived and used her before, she could not regard the other party as an enemy in her heart. It had been many years, really many years. Sometimes when she was traveling around the world, she would remember that every time she came to Kserk, the other party would always prepare some gifts.

New clothes, new magic items...

Especially when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, Lucille looked forward to returning here every time she went out.

So, even though she was very angry now, Lucille did not go to complain to Rachel but ignored her all the time, probably thinking that she would not care about her in the future. But when she left the city, she saw her here.

"elder sister?"

"I'm very happy that you still want to call me sister." Rachel said lightly.

He locked himself in the tower for many days. In fact, someone would come to his door every day to report on the day's situation. This was probably arranged by Emperor Sel.

After all, in the hearts of the people of the Kserk Empire, he is still the great alchemist. Even if they do not recognize the title of omniscient, many people regard him as omniscient... Just like when he was a child more than 30 years ago, he chased the dream of the previous generation of omniscient people. Many alchemists still regard themselves as their life goals.

Therefore, soldiers would come to report to her everything that happened every day. It was not until she heard that Prince Sean decided to leave that she mustered up the courage to come out.

Let’s take a look at this little girl who I have watched grow up since she was a child.

I have to admit that when I first met Lucille, it was entirely because of her mysterious and powerful mentor. Later, as her abilities gradually grew, Rachel finally understood what it meant to be called a magical genius...

The Orderer's level 18 ability could become a secret weapon in any country, and Rachel was also very careful to maintain the affectionate relationship between the two.

Maybe it's not a love relationship,

After all, I have a purpose!

But it was still a very close relationship... Rachel herself couldn't explain this feeling.

Just maintain,

But also dependent.

"Hmph, I just can't find a title to address you at the moment. If you like, I can just call you Grand Alchemist. Master Rachel? That's not right. You're not much higher level than me. Maybe in a few years I'll still want you to call me Master. So I'd better call you Rachel." Lucille complained.

“Puff~”

She didn't know what to say just now, but after seeing Lucille's expression, Rachel felt a lot more relaxed.

"You can call it anything you like."

"I never said I like you. Don't you always have someone you like?" At this point, Lucille felt that mentioning Rorschach so directly might have touched his soft spot.

But when I looked at Rachel again, she didn't seem angry.

Still smiling like this...

“You’re still the same as before.”

“But you’re different.”

After talking for a while, Rachel raised her head again.

"It's different now, not just me...you too...I know you might not forgive me, but I've been thinking about it these past few days, over and over again, wondering what I did wrong, but I still haven't figured out where I went wrong."

She paused and looked at the troops across from her.

"I remember when Rorschach and I were studying alchemy with Mentor Kodol, he said that if you can't find where you're wrong, it means you were wrong from the beginning. These days I've been wondering if I was wrong from the beginning. Maybe I just can't let it go because I didn't hear Rorschach's final words in person." She laughed again.

For more than 20 years, I often dreamed of the prison cell where the two of us were imprisoned together.

He said to let him leave first and he would find a way.

The darkest place in the cell was actually not that dark. He could see everything he did, but he was too shy to say anything or move.

I always feel like it will take a long time... a very long time...

These things will gradually fall into place.

"In my heart, I was even glad to have left the cell at that time. I thought I would do everything I could to get him out, but I later realized that I had never really walked out of that cell in more than 20 years."

"Sister..." Lucille called out, but the other party waved her hand.

"Over the years, I've often dreamed of the scene where he smiled at me in his cell for the last time. Haha~ But I don't know if he actually smiled at that time. Maybe I just hoped that he smiled... just like I hope he's still alive."
