The southern border of the empire
Although the coalition forces to suppress the rebellion had already set out, after defeating Bazel who led the 'Golden Maned Bear', the 'Fairywood' soldiers had obviously gained a lot more confidence and were no longer as fearful as before.
They began to recruit more soldiers. At the same time, the rear was inspired by the victory and saw hope. They worked overtime to build weapons, armor, supplies, and everything else for war.
During this period of preparation, Loran Hill also got a rare moment of rest.
It was raining heavily that day, and there was a lot of noise outside the window, and it was very dark.
Boom boom boom——
There was a soft, regular knock on the door.
"Come in."
Xia Lanluo Te, who was recuperating from her injuries, sat at the head of the bed, curious about who was visiting her, but when she saw the figure coming in, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
"Jia...Sister Messiah."
The person who came was Luo Lanxier. She brought the prepared medicine soup and placed it on the table. Then she sat down beside Xia Lanluo Te's bed and examined her.
Putting down his arm, Loran Hill said, "It's almost healed. I'll be able to get out of bed and move around in a few days."
"Well...thank you Sister Messia for your care." Xia Lanluote lowered her head, feeling that she had caused a lot of trouble.
"Lottie has grown rapidly and is now able to lead an army on his own."
Loran Hill was talking about the incident some time ago when Xia Lanluo led a troop to resist the enemy attack from the flank and rear. Although Xia Lanluo herself was injured in the battle, it also reduced the casualties of her own side and finally won the victory.
"I feel like I'm still not calm enough." Xia Lanluo shook her head slightly. It seemed that she was still a little unconfident.
"It doesn't matter. I will grow up slowly." In fact, compared with her peers, Xia Lanluote has done very well, but her starting point is very high, and she has set extremely high standards for herself.
"When they were your age, I think Jerlan and Elon were still studying in Emenas, and they didn't achieve anything." Loran Hill thought of the other heirs of the four ducal families.
Although Xia Lanluo did not answer at this time, the anxiety in her heart did dissipate a little. She raised her head and showed a reassuring smile.
"Sister Messiah brought me some medicine to drink, thank you for your help."
"It's okay, but you must finish drinking it this time. Don't spit it out secretly." Loran Hill blinked. She recently heard from Phoenix that the Red Dragon Princess was afraid of bitterness and was always reluctant to take the medicine.
"Woo..." Knowing that she couldn't escape, Xia Lanluo had no choice but to nod, then pinched her nose and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"It's bitter o(╥﹏╥)o..." After putting down the bowl, the girl leaned over the head of the bed and didn't want to talk.
Seeing her like this, Loran Hill couldn't help but smile, then touched her hair and back to comfort her.
After a while, Xia Lanluo sat up slightly, and then asked Luo Lanshiel various questions curiously.
"Sister Messia, did you go to school in Emenas? Can you tell me what it's like there?"
She was originally going to go there, but unfortunately the decline of the Pascal family made the Red Dragon Princess lose this opportunity.
"Emenas..." The girl touched her chin with her fingers and began to recall those distant faces.
…
…
Time passed slowly, raindrops hit the glass windows, and the lamp in the room emitted a hazy glow. Xia Lanluo supported her head and listened quietly to Luo Lanshier's stories about the past on campus, with envy in her eyes.
"So the Winter Festival Gala is the biggest celebration of the year?" Xia Lanluo asked curiously when she heard the girl talking about the year-end competition for the only crown.
"Yes, the champion of the Winter Festival Gala is generally regarded as the strongest of the current year in the academy." Loran Hill explained softly.
"Then Messiah, uh, has Sister Jialan ever obtained it? Sister Jialan is so amazing."
"I won the championship in one of the sessions. That was the year I graduated." Recalling the competition with Bumansha, Loran Hill stroked the hair beside his ear.
"So awesome~" Xia Lanluote clapped her hands slightly. To win the championship in Emenas, where countless geniuses gathered, the strength required was beyond her imagination.
"It's just average, actually. There are some really good people who can win the championship for several consecutive years, and even beat a group of seniors in the lower grades." The girl said modestly.
Curious, Xia Lanluo Te couldn't help but continue asking, "Who did Sister Jialan meet when she was in school?"
"There are many, some of whom I've only heard of. For example, Elon Trey, who graduated shortly before I enrolled, won two championships in a row, forcing Weilin to be runner-up for two consecutive years."
"Then there's Darcy, a famous figure in the empire. He's a few years older than me. And after that, it should be Bumantha."
"Who is Bumansha? I don't think I've heard of her."
"She's a very gentle, neighborly lady. She makes delicious bread and pastries. I'll take you to visit her again if I have the chance."
"Okay... so what else is going on at the Winter Festival?"
"There are also various performances, which are often organized by the 'Crown of Melody' among the Ten Crowns. At that time, the academy will be hung with woven ornaments made of frost green, which is very beautiful."
"A frozen green wreath? We also wear this in winter, but it is said to be a custom passed down from the East." Xia Lanluo recalled the scene when her sister Yvetina told her stories on winter nights when she was a child.
At that time, they were also sitting by the warm fireplace, and this graceful and noble sister told her the legends of the past East.
