The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

She walked quickly toward Sylph, and the two drew closer to each other.

The housekeeper and knight guards stood watch vigilantly a few dozen paces away.

Sylph saw the marks on Kurara's face. Even with a damp towel, her swollen eyes and listless state were undeniable. Compared to the morning, the girl, still longing for her lover and unable to see him, was a completely different person.

Both of them felt this way after losing each other... Sylph's mood also plummeted.

“Sylph, thank you for coming to see me off. I feel so bad for chasing the convoy for so long.” Kurara stepped forward, took Sylph’s hand, and tried to express her gratitude in a calm tone.

“I…” Sylph wanted to explain to her that Lorenve had wanted to tell her the truth about the Sevi tribe before. But the words wouldn’t come out.

Her face flushed red, feeling as if her words were helping Lorenve win back her love. At that moment, she wasn't worried about them getting back together, but rather felt like a kind person facilitating a reconciliation… This feeling made Sylph incredibly embarrassed.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Kurara asked Sylph.

She already knew in her heart that Sylph liked Lorenvi, but after Lorenvi and Lorenvi's impressions overlapped, she began to realize that Sylph had known about this all along. However, the magnanimous Kurara didn't hold it against her, and besides, she herself was on her way back home, so there was no need to hold it against her.

“I…I want to tell you…” Sylph hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t say it.

In that moment of hesitation, Sylph caught a glimpse of Kurara's figure, and now even worries about the two getting back together welled up in her heart. Princess Kurara was really beautiful, and her figure was probably Lorenvi's favorite type, wasn't it? Lorenvi's shifty eyes were always fixed on Kurara's chest.

"Take your time, I'll wait for you," Kurara said gently.

At this moment, Sylph, who was speechless, wanted to slap her head. She was most afraid of such a gentle and beautiful opponent! Her sincere affection was exactly to Lorenwei's liking, and she was a princess... Oh my god, what a fool I am! She felt that her coming to explain this time was incredibly stupid. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?

But is Lorenwei still standing there in a daze...?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Sylph stomped her foot!

The female elf suddenly shook off Kurala's hand that was holding her!

She took a step back, her face serious, and a hint of murderous intent even emanated from her.

Kurala was startled, and the guards a few dozen steps away also tensed up.

"Kurara, listen up!" Sylph said, placing her left hand on her hip and pointing her right index finger directly at Kurara. "Although I, Sylph, am just a female elf, not as noble as you, not as graceful as you, not as talented as you, this idiot, Lorenve, this big idiot, this biggest idiot in the world... will definitely belong to me!"

"..." Kurara's eyes widened in disbelief. The female elf had come all this way to issue her such a tough... how should she put it? ... Was it a challenge?

The knights who were watching the spectacle, and even the butler and mentor Jima, stared blankly.

Sylph maintained her pointing gesture towards Kurara, declaring in a high-pitched voice, "Listen carefully! I stopped Lorenvi from telling you the secrets of the Sevi tribe! I also stopped her from revealing that Loren and Lorenvi are the same person! If she dared to utter even a single word to you, I would cry in front of her! How about that? She was afraid I would cry, so she didn't dare tell you the truth and has been lying to you until now! Hahaha, you think you can steal my Lorenvi just because of your looks? No way! She's timid and obedient to me, she won't be tricked by you! How about that, are you scared yet?!"

"..." Kurara stared at Sylph in shock.

"You dare slap my Lorenvi? You even made her sit there dumbfounded in the road, like a piece of clumsy wood, staring blankly in the direction your caravan left. She's probably still there. But it doesn't matter, I'll go back and take care of her. You don't need to worry about her!" Siluf raised her chin high, arrogantly declaring, "Now you've suffered a complete defeat and are about to flee back to the Grand Duchy of Percy. You're smart enough to know your place! I advise you not to be so ungrateful! Run as far away as you can! Don't come trying to steal my Lorenvi again, hmph!"

After uttering that heavy snort, Sylph turned and left, resolutely never looking back!

What just happened? The knights, who were just watching the show, looked at each other in utter bewilderment. The housekeeper and mentor Jima were speechless.

Kurala was also incredulous. How could the female elf who used to be gentle, weak, afraid of being hurt, and suffering from amnesia suddenly be so arrogant today?

After Lorenwei, it was Kurara's turn, who stared blankly into the distance, her body stiff...

Not far away, Sylph walked faster and faster, and then started running.

Then, the female elf began to run away frantically.

Once inside the woods, it moved with remarkable agility, like a nimble deer, disappearing into the distant forest in a few leaps.

But some people noticed that the female elf was covering her face as she ran, and her head seemed to be red, hot, and even steaming...

Chapter 164 Salted Eggs and Beetroots; Hairbands and Strands of Hair; Lorenwei and Kurara

"What's wrong?" Burbo noticed Lorenwei sitting blankly on the road and went over to ask her curiously.

Lorenwei completely ignored him.

I asked a few more questions, but they still ignored me.

Burbo was furious. How dare they ignore me? He launched into a verbal attack:

"Your leg was broken?"

"He picked up something from the roadside and ate it, then became mute?"

"Were you deceived emotionally?"

"Were you groped?"

"You were sexually assaulted?"

"If you get pregnant, just give birth. If not, everyone will help you raise the baby!"

Despite his efforts, Lorenwei still ignored him.

"Fine, now that we've come this far, you're still ignoring me, huh?" Burbo began to ponder the information he had gathered and quickly came to a rough guess.

"Your wife has been kidnapped?" Burbo began to provoke her.

Sure enough, Lorenwei tilted her head, glared at him with dead fish eyes, but still didn't say anything.

"There's a chance!" Burbo thought, seeing that his efforts were starting to have an effect. He glanced at the chaotic tire tracks of the convoy and immediately pressed on: "Kulara came with you earlier, but she's not here now. Could it be a letter from the Grand Duchy... no, I'm afraid someone else came. What did they say to her, and then they took her away?"

“…” Lorenwei’s expression darkened further, and she remained silent.

"Your cheek is red from being slapped, the handprint is so obvious, and the hand isn't even that big—it's a girl's. So, you were slapped by Kurara?" Bulbo found it increasingly amusing as he spoke. "Oh my, this is incredible! Kurara, such a gentle and dignified princess, would hit someone? And she could abandon Loren, whom she's been thinking about these past few days, and leave the academy? I'm afraid..."

He glanced at Lorenvi's reaction and deliberately said loudly, "Lorenvi of the Sevi tribe, also known as Loren, had her identity exposed, and Her Highness the Princess felt deceived! Right? In a fit of anger, she returned to the Grand Duchy, didn't she?"

Lorenvi reacted immediately, startled, and exclaimed, "How come everyone knows about this?!"

"Don't worry, only a very small number of people know this right now. Of course, I know it wasn't Bordonna who told me, but rather that some of the older generation do know it."

“…” Lorenwei’s expression darkened again. “I thought it was a secret, but I didn’t expect so many people to know it.”

"Hmph, you little brat, cough, you must have taken advantage of your dual identity quite a bit, right?" Bulbo grinned. "You messed up, didn't you? Let's see what you're going to do now."

“It doesn’t matter anymore…” Lorenwei looked like she had seen through the illusions of the mortal world.

Seeing her dejected look, Burbo couldn't help but chuckle: "The daughter of a legendary hero, no, perhaps the son, when did you become so easily discouraged?"

Lorenwei resigned herself to her fate: "Say whatever you want..."

"I think you should go and bring Kurara back."

Lorenwei coldly replied, "Your reasons are none of my concern."

“No matter what your reason for not pursuing her, it’s wrong.” Burbo chuckled coldly. “You’ve offended me quite a bit, so I’m definitely not going to help you pick up girls. But my mentor’s apprentice has been abducted, and a very promising one at that. Losing my short-term goal is just too painful.”

"Then go and persuade Kula to come back."

"How could an old man like me have that ability?"

“I’m even less capable.” Lorenwei lowered her head even further and still hadn’t sat up from the ground.

Burbo was furious: "Are you even a man?!"

"No."

“You…” Burbo choked, then continued to roar, “Are you even a woman?!”

"No."

"Damn it..." Burbo was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it and wanted to pull her up.

But when I grabbed her arm, Lorenwei refused to get up, as if she were glued to the ground.

With great effort and a shove, Lorenwei was lifted up completely. But she remained seated, suspended in mid-air like a hanging ornament…

Enraged, Burbo let go and threw her back to the ground: "...That's why Bordonna used to lie on the ground like such a shameless person when she asked me for candy back then!"

*Splat*—Lorrenwei, like a piece of chewing gum, is stuck to the road again.

"Hmph! Let's see when you get up." Burbo sullenly sat down a short distance away, found a tree stump by the roadside, and watched as Lorenwei remained on the ground.

After waiting for a long time, a full hour, Lorenwei was still frozen there.

"If this were a girl, she'd probably get sick," Burbo muttered.

After waiting for a long time, Silph returned.

Upon returning, Sylph saw Lorenve sitting blankly on the roadside from afar.

"How infatuated are you?" Sylph huffed and walked over, standing in front of Lorenve and blocking her view of the distance.

"..." Lorenwei remained silent, gazing at the female elf with a hint of resentment, but she did not blame her.

Notice that Lorenvi, sitting on the ground, is looking up at her. Sylph instinctively clutches her archer skirt...

"Hmm?" Sylph found it strange that she had such a conditioned reflex action.

Lorenwei said weakly, "Leave me alone, I want to be alone."

Bourb, who was sitting in the distance watching the commotion, couldn't hear what they were saying, but he was muttering to himself: "Lorenwei is really good to girls. Look, she started talking to Sylph as soon as she came back. I had to use so much persuasion to get her to talk to me."

Seeing that they had started talking, Bulbo got up instead, ignoring Lorenvie and Sylph, shook off his tattered robes and returned to the academy, chuckling softly, "Youth is truly wonderful—"

Seeing that Sylph had returned, he no longer needed to worry about Lorenwei, and not wanting to get involved in the young people's entanglements, he quietly left.

On the road, only Lorenve and Sylph remained.

"You want some peace and quiet... no way! You're thinking about your pants!" With her hands pressing down on her skirt, Sylph suddenly realized that she must have been spied on by her before. Although she had lost her memory, she still had a subconscious sense of vigilance.

Just how lecherous is this idiot?! Silph's teeth itched.

“It’s no use thinking about it, she’s already gone, back to the Grand Duchy…” Lorenvi lowered her head, her arms weakly supporting her on the ground.

"Huh?" Sylph paused, "Who did you say? I didn't mention Kurara..."

Ah, this guy misheard me saying "little panties" as "Kurala!" The female elf quickly realized!

The fire flared up instantly!

"Hmph—what are you doing here wallowing in self-pity?!" Sylph grabbed Lorenvi by the collar and yanked her up from the ground. "If you're thinking about her, go after her!"

Lorenwei was being held like a dead fish, offering no resistance, only saying in a low voice, "She will never forgive me..."

Sylph glared angrily: "Fine, I won't forgive you! You have to catch up with them!"

The slap mark on that idiot's face has faded. Should I give her another one?

"Why? Since it's already lost, let it go..." Lorenwei seemed to say, as if yesterday had vanished like flowing water. "Thank you for your concern, but I really feel like I have no hope left..."

"Who would care about someone as stupid as you?!" Sylph shook Lorenvi's collar. "I went to so much trouble to help you catch up with Kurara, and I already made it clear to her that I was the one who stopped you and didn't tell her the truth! And now you're telling me you're giving up? Then all my efforts were wasted?!"
