"So we all are visitors from the stars, and fate connects us together, which is the greatest fortune in this world."
Elanna: "Then, if there's a chance, I'll take you to a place where you can see a sky full of stars!"
Kael chuckled at the ti: "Then I'll also take you to the place you want to go."
Elanna: "Huh? Why?"
Kael: "You ask why? Of course, it's because I want to see you happy! You decided to take to see the stars for my sake, and our choices to go to each other, naturally, it's not just about going where I want to go, but taking you where you want to go."
...
The scenes and dialogues erged like reflections, and the love in Elanna's eyes deepened a bit. After a mont, not sure what she thought of, a trace of hesitancy flashed in her eyes, and she said:
"Kael, aren't you curious why I agreed to that matter so easily that day?"
"Hmm, I've been waiting for you to tell the reason, after all, the Elanna I know isn't the kind of girl who would give herself away so soon.
Since you did that, there must be so reasons that are inconvenient to express directly."
Kael said softly: "I could have refused, but in the end, I gave up. You may not know how alluring the girl in my arms was that night."
Kael spoke as he gently raised his hand to caress the side of Elanna's face: "At that mont, I couldn't resist. I suppose no man could resist."
Elanna bit her lower lip lightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, at that ti, I ca to understand one thing."
"Hmm, I'm listening."
Elanna hesitated for a mont, then finally said softly: "Kael, do you rember the ti we talked in the study room?"
"Hmm? We talked many tis in the study."
"It's the ti you told that our Bell Federation and the Holy Briania will inevitably head towards full-scale war."
"Oh, you're talking about that ti!" Kael clapped his hands, then asked, "And then?"
"Kael, actually you... don't love the Federation and this world as much as you show, right?"
Elanna said softly. At this mont, Kael was silent for a long ti, and finally said: "Yes, I don't love the Federation and the Shining Continent as much as I express to the outside world.
I am deeply tired of war, yet I know that on the Shining Continent, the endless Dungeon conquests and the conflicts between countries, the conflicts between the continent's races and deities, are almost inevitable.
I love so people on this continent and am willing to fight alongside them... but it's just you all, not the Federation and the continent itself."
This statent is half-true and half-false.
For Kael, the true reason why he couldn't integrate fully was because the other half of his soul ca from the Human Federation, from Ning Ruyu of the Human Federation.
Therefore, expecting Kael to hold too much expectation for this world is indeed a bit difficult for him.
"Would this make you dislike such a version of ?" Surprisingly, Kael hesitated as he said such a sentence.
Elanna firmly shook her head and said, "Of course not, it's because of my own problem."
"Your own problem?" Kael asked in confusion.
"Kael, my family, my education, my experience, all tell that I ought to fight for this Federation that nurtures . I have the talent, I have the strength, and I'm even more willing to personally sever the enemy's throat."
Elanna said very seriously: "So, I understood very early on that once Bell Federation and Holy Briania clash, I, Elanna Newman, a knight candidate, will surely fight to protect the country that gave life and raised ."
At this mont, Elanna's wine-red hair cascaded down, no longer blooming like a red rose, beautiful yet thorny...
Such a description is undoubtedly inappropriate for Elanna.
Her expression was so serious, and when she spoke these words, her eyes carried a determined will, like a blazing fla.
Clean and pure.
"So then?" Kael laughed.
"So, at that ti I made a very selfish decision... if possible, let Kael experience what it feels like, and if, by any chance, a hit to the target occurs, then I'll stay in Lancaster, peacefully nurture the fetus, and after giving birth, head to the battlefield.
If most unfortunate... we couldn't keep our child, then I will embark on a trial road, and after enduring countless tests, when the war breaks out, it will be the ti to fulfill my knight's vow.
The battlefield does not believe in tears, neither you nor I can guarantee our safe return from a war, and if we can't co back, then we just can't return. At least at the mont of death, I can still recall that night.
The only regret being that my story with you will co to an end at that ti."
Kael silently watched the girl gaze at the bright moonlight, murmured softly, gently caressing her cheek, and said:
"The Elanna I know is a knight princess who musters the courage to never look back once she has set her mind on her goal. Is there a possibility... that many years ago, when we started to deeply understand each other, I was already ntally prepared, and willing to, at a critical mont, employ the power I hold to protect those people and things I truly want to protect?"
"Does this... make seem very selfish?" Elanna said softly.
Kael arose from Elanna's embrace, lifted her face, and in an unexpected mont, blocked all the thoughts she wanted to voice with a kiss.
When Kael slowly parted from her slightly reddened lips, he raised an eyebrow and said:
"The power I seek cos from protecting those who are dear to and who cherish . The ultimate goal of this power is not rely self-defense.
But when fate forces us to make choices, I can still protect those I wish to protect within those not-so-beautiful choices.
So, Elanna, pursue your goals and ideals. When you encounter danger, just call my na, wherever you are, I will co to your side."
