Capítulo 1060: Chapter D425: Everything One Desires_3
The man chuckled softly and shook his head.
“Didn’t I already tell you? I don’t know.” The Erald-Starred Key raised two fingers:
“Suppose there are two options: never being able to convey, and conveying now… then, I would choose the forr.” He withdrew one finger unhurriedly and then tapped it on the table.
“As for whether it can be conveyed in the future? As long as I can believe ‘there exists such a possibility,’ that’s enough.”
The Pantheon Mage’s tone seed as if he were describing a frontier theory close to the truth, yet known to no one.
“You don’t need to understand, and I don’t care if you can understand.”
The Empress finally had nothing to say, only gazing at this man with ink-black hair and erald eyes with an expression as if she saw a Goblin determined to be good.
The Erald-Starred Key’s smile remained unchanged, eting her gaze with the sweetness of acceptance.
“And what am I pursuing… though I intend to withhold this answer, I can tell you this.
“—I rely acted in what seed the most natural course for .”
Crack—At last, the surface of the Crystal Ball started to crack, and the man’s last traces in this world would dissipate aninglessly, leaving nothing behind.
“So, farewell, you of unknown na.”
Yet there was no trace of regret on his face, and he maintained a faint smile throughout.
“Let us et again on the road ahead.”
In the next mont, the crystal shattered, and the projection vanished.
The father’s final “words” thus ended abruptly.

The Moon Person gazed at the shattered Crystal Ball, her expression as constant as ever
Others would only think she was as impassive as usual, but the Empress could catch a faint trace of lancholy from those moonlit pupils.
However, this sorrow was fleeting.
The Moon Person, without hesitation, swiftly closed and sealed the box containing the shattered crystal, returned it to the safe, and then looked up at the Empress, who still sat immobile.
“Is there anything else?”
“…No. Just a bit curious, what do you plan to do next?” the Empress asked softly.
“Nothing.” The Moon Person paused and added, “You should be able to see, I have Demon Bloodline, not purely human. This special lineage grants an inherent purpose, just like certain Magic Creatures.
“But now that purpose can no longer be fulfilled, and the Angels…” At this, she furrowed her brows slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
“Anyway, the survival of this country is aningless to ; the only reason I remain in this city is to honor my Agreent with my husband.”
The Empress seed to understand what she ant and gave a wry smile, then asked with slight concern.
“After this… do you plan to leave here?”
Understanding her implication, the Moon Person shook her head.
“No, even though I’ve lost the aning to live, it’s not to the extent that I would go seeking death.
“So, I will do nothing.”
Upon hearing this, a strange sense of relief appeared on the Empress’s face, and she stood up.
“In that case, then I… shall take my leave.”
Having said that, she turned to leave but suddenly sensed sothing, and looked back in surprise.
She saw a small, phantom rabbit head peeking out from the safe, its eyes shrouded in a mysterious glow, staring unblinkingly at the two of them.
“This is—”
“A pet,” the Moon Person’s voice was flat, “It doesn’t need feeding, nor does it excrete, so I don’t keep it confined… not that it could be confined even if I tried.”
The Empress opened her mouth, caught between laughter and tears.
At that mont, the Elf Rabbit leaped from the safe and hopped to her feet.
“So thin.”
The rabbit was no larger than a palm, its head almost as big as its body, clearly malnourished.
Knowing the Elf Rabbit would burst into scattering pieces if attacked, the Empress didn’t rashly try to touch it, instead curiously asked, “Where did you catch it? Pets like this are rare.”
“While handling—let’s say, my husband’s father’s affairs.”
The Moon Person’s response made the Empress’s expression stiffen.
“Passing by the mountain forest near that village, it sohow snuck into my suitcase. Although it seems elf-like, it has very little Magic Power, so attacking it wouldn’t yield much gain. So I didn’t pay much attention, and it followed here.
“If you’re interested, just take it with you. Or you can kill it, consider it a rare gift for a guest.”
“…Then I shall accept it.”
The Empress didn’t stand on ceremony, bending down to gently reach a hand toward the Elf Rabbit on the ground.
But the Elf Rabbit flinched away, ignoring her, and darted under the floorboards.
Nevertheless, the Empress could sense a faint, almost invisible gaze still lingering on her.
The Moon Person returned to her position by the window, gazing at the moonless night sky as always.
Until the Empress left, she didn’t utter another word.
The Half Angel was clearly accustod to her mistress’s taciturnity, warmly hosting the Empress without instructions, allowing her to rest for the night in the residence, even thoughtfully preparing a set of clothes in the modern style of the Kingdom.
At dawn the next day, the Empress bade farewell to the Moon Person once more and boarded the early Magic Train departing the Plain Ancient City with the first light of morning.
She was heading to the next stop, the final destination of this long dream-like journey.
—The Holy Capital.
