The cold lake on a midsummer night was exceptionally quiet. A gentle breeze blew lightly and leaves rustled. The surface of the lake reflected a faint light that rippled gently along with the waves of water.

At this moment, the Twilight Manor by the lake was completely silent. The lights were extremely dim, like an abandoned ancient castle sleeping in a quiet forest.

“Dida … Dida …”

The hall was pitch-black, leaving only the soft sound of the pendulum, no longer as lively and luxurious as before.

“Gra …”

In the deep darkness, there was a soft sound of the door opening, followed by a gentle sound of footsteps.

“Princess” Someone called softly. Her voice was calm and gentle. She was a young woman.

“Yes.” After a while, someone answered, as if they were in a trance.

“There’s news over there.” She said.

“Speak …” Her voice was filled with exhaustion.

“Two and a half months ago, someone saw Lena Euclid, the dragonizer, appear in Tieshan Town with that person in her arms and receive treatment at a small local clinic.”

“And then?”

“The doctor said that he can’t treat it, so he gave up …”

“He … he’s dead?” His voice trembled in the darkness.

“We haven’t confirmed it yet …”

Following her reply, the hall fell into silence again.

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh sounded in the darkness.

“Eva …”

“Yes.”

“Am I wrong?”

“Princess is right. This is his destiny. Please don’t be sad anymore.”

“Is it fate?” You Ge mutters in a low voice, as if he is talking to himself.

She originally thought that the biggest obstacle between them was Lena …

Lena’s love for Tie Zha was a kind of maternal love. She was both a lover and a big sister. An orphan like him needed this kind of love the most. Although he dodged and dodged on the surface, in reality, he was extremely attached to her. Back then, the biggest reason he refused to go to school was because he didn’t want to leave Lena, but he might not even realize it.

Mu Yu Ling Lan understood Tie Zha’s past and wanted to give him this kind of love, but what she did not know was that Lena could no longer be replaced.

However, this was not important. Boys had to grow up and leave the warm embrace to conquer the world and the women on the clouds.

She had originally thought that she would be that woman, but she never thought that they would be in such a situation.

Temple and Glory, Lombar and Northas, Psionic and Bug.

The enemies of faith, the blood feuds of the clans, and the clashes of factions, any of them were insurmountable chasms, and between them, there were actually all three of them. She really couldn’t imagine that there was a more hostile stance in the world than theirs.

But what she didn’t expect was that they actually fell in love …

During her time in the sand sea, she had already felt that he was in love with her. But this was not strange, because she was his yearning.

He was an orphan with a gloomy personality. The world in his eyes was gloomy, and what she had was precisely what he lacked. Likewise, what he had was something she lacked, so they attracted each other.

However, all of this has become a thing of the past …

Actually, she had already noticed it when the iron slag sent her home. Tie Zha was a person with little ambition. He was like a dandelion, brave, adventurous, and at ease.

In retrospect, he was an insect that had brought her deep into the parish of the Temple, risking his life to send her home.

Now that he was crippled and returned to Lena’s embrace, he could be considered to have a home.

As she thought, Eva’s voice sounded again.

“In addition …” she said calmly, “Mu Qianhe, the former subordinate of that person, seems to have encountered some trouble …” Everyone related to Tie Zha was under their surveillance.

“Forget it” You Ge waved his hand and said, “All the spies should withdraw.”

“Ah!” Eva was shocked and hesitated, “You mean …”

“Whatever, a half-crippled person is no longer a threat to us …” You Ge said, his powerless voice filled with indescribable loneliness.

“Yes, my princess.” Eva nodded in agreement.

A moment later, Eva, who walked out of the manor gate, turned around and looked at the dimly lit mansion. She whispered, “Princess, I’m sorry.”

She concealed the part of Tie Zha that had been taken to Sandstorm Castle, hoping to give him a chance of survival.

Perhaps, this was the only thing she could do …

At first, she was only curious as to why her handkerchief, the ice-cold goddess of happiness, and even the lofty princess of the Temple would never forget that person. However, once a woman becomes curious about a man, it means that she is not far from falling. He gave her a very different feeling, and for some reason, she gradually fell in love with him. Perhaps you don’t need too many reasons to love someone. You just need to feel relaxed and happy when you are with them. That’s enough.

Although she is very smart, she is a very simple person emotionally. When the love she gave was answered, she was satisfied. However, such a simple request was something that many people could not accomplish. The people she had met would not be able to hide their narrow selfishness for long. Perhaps it was precisely because she was too smart to see dark corners that she became picky.

Only that person’s eyes were clear from beginning to end.

Not long ago, she and You Ge had been busy fighting on the Aurora Plane, resisting the invasion of the Violet-Eyed Demon Clan and the Black-Eyed Demon Clan.

In planar warfare, the human side could be said to be the weakest. The swarm of bees and insects was a complete war machine. All combat units were born without learning, equipment, or even much time to grow. They have no emotions, no needs, only unconditional obedience. The demons, on the other hand, were half war machines. All their warriors needed was a spear to unleash their battle prowess that far surpassed that of humans. A standard Elda Warrior could easily pierce through a Wolf-type mecha with the addition of a divine power totem. In addition, they could tame a type of mount called the Scaleless Flying Dragon and conduct short-range air strikes. Apart from naval battles, land battles and air battles weren’t inferior to humans.

Also, although the mechanical technology of the demons was very backward, their use of psionic energy far surpassed that of humans. They could further convert the psionic energy in their bodies into cyan-green “magic energy”, thus using all sorts of mystical techniques that they called “secret arts”. In ancient times, the mages among them had also developed a “forbidden spell” that was as destructive as a nuclear bomb. They had also been destroyed by violent and out-of-control magical power. The current demons also had a large number of forbidden spells sealed within them, and they were not allowed to study or use them. On this point, they were almost the same as humans.

Compared with the other two races, the only advantage of human beings is the unified social structure. Needless to say, a queen insect was a force, and devouring each other was a common occurrence. The demons were divided into hundreds of clans, large and small, with different cultures, traditions, beliefs, and values. There were endless conflicts, and civil strife had never stopped since ancient times.

“Aurora” is a newly discovered plane in recent years. It is a world of ice and snow. Preliminary exploration has a large number of mineral deposits. The World Council attached great importance to this because the swarm of bees and insects could not survive in this plane, and humans had a broader space for survival. However, the people of Elda did not know how to obtain the spatial coordinates of the Aurora Plane, allowing their mystic masters to open the spatial gate, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

The Purple-Eyed Demon Clan and the Black-Eyed Demon Clan led the way. They proposed to split the land in half, but this was obviously impossible. The Aurora Plane was different from Desert 5, unable to grow crops, and the transport capacity of the people of Elda was far inferior to that of humans, so they were at an absolute disadvantage. Hence, the Temple and the World Assembly responded resolutely to their unreasonable demands.

As the clerk of the Dawn Expeditionary Army, although Eva did not need to enter the battlefield directly, she still had to command outside the planar gate. After You Ge issued the order, she thought that Tie Zha was safe, so she no longer paid attention to the situation in Sham Shui Po Prison and focused on fighting. Unexpectedly, the moment the war ended, there was news that Tie Zha had been rescued by Lena the Dragonizer.

She rushed to the scene and found out that Tie Zha had eaten a large amount of radioactive contaminated food. When Lena rescued her, she had already breathed half a sigh of relief. Even her hands and legs were rotten. Her heart immediately twisted like a knife, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

After that, she found out that Lena had taken Tie Zha to Sandstorm Castle on a Notre Dame flying machine. In order to avoid disturbing them, she concealed the matter. It was only today that she told You Ge about Tie Zha. However, she still concealed a lot of information. After all, Tie Zha was already half crippled. Even if she could survive, she would not be able to do anything about it.

Perhaps, this kind of ending was most suitable for him.

She couldn’t help but fantasize as she stared at the calm lake.

Years later, perhaps one day, he would suddenly appear in front of her and extend his hand to her again, inviting her to go shopping and see the scenery. Then the next morning, she woke up and sat quietly under the shade of the tree, eating her breakfast …

Because I love you, I give you freedom.
