The black cat demi-human took a deep breath, her posture appearing exceptionally serious as she stood ramrod straight.
Although her hat was askew again due to her hurried movements, she didn't care at all and just said hastily:
"The wedding at Delin Manor was ruined today, meow. News from the capital says it was caused by a man in bright red armor, meow."
"That man is said to be Grand Knight Gwen's fiancé, and he engaged in a thrilling battle with Grand Knight Gwen, even forcing Grand Knight Gwen to use her full strength!"
"But he's escaped now, meow! Her Majesty the Queen has ordered the capital to be sealed off, forbidding anyone from leaving!"
Upon hearing this news, Leon's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, just as she was about to ask for more details, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind her:
“You…you just said…repeat what you just said.”
"Meow?"
The black cat-like demi-human was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lia.
But all I could see was her head down, her expression unreadable.
But Miss Lia's body was trembling uncontrollably.
This was a reaction that the Black Cat Demi-human had never seen before.
But seeing Leon's gesturing look, she quickly said:
"Um... Her Majesty the Queen has ordered the sealing off of the King..."
"The sentence before that!"
"Okay! Okay, meow!"
The black cat-like demi-human was startled, thinking he had done something wrong, and quickly said in a trembling voice:
“That man is… is Sir Gwen’s fiancé…”
That's enough.
Lia interrupted her.
The black cat demi-human felt a pressure suddenly disappear, as if the heavy burden on his shoulders had been gently removed.
She stole a glance at Lia, only to see that Lia was still looking down, but her body was no longer trembling.
Instead, he leaned back in his chair as if taking a rest.
Seeing this, Leon seemed a little worried and was about to speak:
“Lily…”
"You can go out now."
Leon was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He then nodded and pulled the black cat sheriff, who was still standing there in a daze, out of the study.
Leah was left alone, sitting in the chair.
She extended her right hand, lowered her head, and focused her gaze on the glove.
The erosion of time has already left wear marks on the gloves.
Of the six gems, only the middle ruby still shimmered faintly in the moonlight.
Finally, she grasped this hand tightly with her other hand.
He placed his hands on his chest, as if to soothe his restless heart.
However, the next second...
Lia suddenly stood up, jogged lightly, pushed open the door, and quickly crossed the study.
At the entrance to the study, Leon and the black cat-like demi-human stood on either side.
Just as they were about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The two could only watch helplessly as a woman in a black trench coat appeared.
Seemingly filled with urgency, he rushed out of the study and hurried towards the stairs.
The black cat-human was slightly stunned, and was about to reach out and chase after it.
"Little Liya..."
But Leon, who was standing next to him, grabbed him.
Those emerald-like eyes calmly watched Lia's retreating figure, and shook their heads at the demi-human beside them.
"Don't disturb her."
...
Lia continued to run wildly through the night.
She lowered her head and placed her hands on her chest.
There was no one around, because it was already midnight and the servants were all resting.
Therefore, she can run without any worries, without having to worry about bumping into anyone.
She kept her head down, not looking at the road ahead at all.
But relying on the familiar memories in his mind, he kept running along the familiar path.
The place she had always longed for, the place where she had always waited for that person to return.
Finally, she arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Moonlight spills down, and the chirping of insects and the rustling of grass intertwine to create a nocturne.
The night seemed to grow even deeper and more serene.
Lia stood there, panting heavily.
Looking up at the moon in the sky, I raised my gloved hand.
Under the moonlight, her arms were bathed in a soft glow.
The red gemstone at the center of the glove shimmered brilliantly in the night.
Within it, it seems, lies an inexhaustible flame.
She stood there quietly, trying to calm her breathing and emotions.
each year.
Five years after Viktor promised her he would definitely come back.
Every year, Lia would use the magic on her gloves.
Because she always remembered what Victor had said.
As long as you use the magic on these gloves, you can do so no matter where you are.
"You will definitely come back."
Right?
But……
She used it again and again.
She used up almost all the magic on her gloves, leaving only one spell.
Even just one glimmer of hope would be enough.
This is what she has been looking forward to.
But he never came back.
Finally, Lia stopped using the magic on the glove.
She left behind only the last spell that Victor had stored away.
But she no longer had any hope.
Lia had considered waiting until a suitable successor was trained...
She will then use this last spell.
Then, wearing these gloves, they went into the grave together.
But now, crazy thoughts are surging in my mind.
