"Whatever you want to do, I will support you. As for the General, I will explain that to him as well."

She went on to add, looking eager to try it out.

Although Yao Ji's complex expression was somewhat soothed, the sorrow in Yu Zhi's eyes remained undiminished.

Ensuring the safety of that young Onmyoji was indeed the promise he wanted.

However, before this, Her Majesty the Queen had already made this clear to the Uchiha clan's Onmyoji, and she would never doubt its authenticity.

So what she really wants now is a response to what Lady Himiko said before: that she wanted her to stay and that she wanted to talk to her all night about the past.

However, Your Majesty, you have forgotten about this matter.

Or was it merely used as a way to change the subject?

"Yes."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

Yao Ji responded somewhat absentmindedly, and then turned and walked out of the shrine.

A foreign Onmyoji who conceals his true purpose but promises to save the entire Sun Wheel City.

The Queen, who has protected Sunwheel City for thousands of years, suddenly refuses to open her heart to me.

Whom should I trust?

She has lost the answer.

“Yao........”

Seeing her weary vassal slowly walking towards the gates of the shrine, Queen Sun Wheel, feeling concerned, immediately wanted to call out to him. However, she only managed to utter his surname before inexplicably swallowing his given name back into her mouth.

Because once you get this far, there's no turning back.

For love, she chose to be willful and headstrong just this once.

Two days from now, everything will begin anew.

【My You-hime.】

The new queen of the City of the Sun.

As she watched the woman's retreating figure, Himiko's eyes were filled with a mixture of heartache and tenderness.

Yao Ji had forgotten how she got back to the General's Mansion.

All she knew was that although it was already late at night, her father, whose hair was full of white and who had entered old age, still hadn't returned to the house. He was still sitting quietly in the reception room of the general's mansion, as if he was waiting for something.

Noticing the still-lit lights and the familiar figure reflected in them, driven by various factors, Yao Ji deviated from the path leading directly back to her room and went inside.

"Father, it's already late at night."

"You should go back to your room and rest; you'll catch a cold sitting here."

She composed herself and said.

At the same time, in this gentle light and quiet night, it was the first time, or perhaps the first time in years or decades, that he had seen his father so closely.

His black hair had faded to silver, his face was covered in wrinkles, and his body was slightly hunched.

Having journeyed with time, he is no longer the stern and imposing general he once was.

This substantial change made his barely restrained emotions somewhat difficult to control again.

Hearing the voice beside him, the general, whose eyelids were lowered and who was drifting into sleep, slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, it's You-hime."

The familiar figure that came into view brought a kind smile to his face.

Then, he glanced behind the woman, only to find an empty, dark night.

"Did you come back alone?"

This question immediately made Yao Ji's heart tighten.

However, before she could think of any excuse to use, she heard her father continue:

"Then let's invite him to our residence after the Queen's wedding."

Chapter 621 On the wedding day, divine punishment arrived as promised!

The general's composure and calmness were clearly beyond Yao Ji's expectations.

The outcome will be determined after the Queen's wedding, which is when the events of today will come to a conclusion.

By then,

Will the so-called divine punishment actually occur?

What will Sunwheel City look like now?

She no longer had a clear answer in her heart, and she didn't know who to believe.

"Alright, stop fighting like an idiot. It's getting late, you should go and get some rest. You'll have a lot to do in the next two days."

Just as Yo-hime realized she needed to respond, she found that her father had already stood up and walked to her side.

"Yes, Father."

The knot in her heart, accumulated deep inside, made her only able to respond mechanically.

In fact, she really wanted to say something, to pour out her heart, but when her gaze fell upon the general's full head of silver hair and her own hopeless situation, she suddenly fell silent.

Regardless of the process,

In the end, she chose to trust her queen and left the Onmyoji from another land alone in the shrine.

This is something that cannot be changed.

It is precisely because of this unchangeable situation that Father said to come to our house as a guest after the famine is over.

For a moment, the sadness in Yu Zhi's eyes deepened.

However, even in this atmosphere, the general, who had already walked away, suddenly stopped and spoke to himself:

"Yo-hime, you've grown up."

"One needs to have one's own judgment,"

"We also need to be responsible for everything we do."

The powerful voice not only calmed Yao Ji's scattered mind, but also made her look involuntarily towards the source of the sound.

Under the moonlight, the father, standing with his back to the camera, stood ramrod straight, his body ravaged by time.

In a hazy, dreamlike state, the weathered figure bearing the marks of time gradually overlapped with the powerful and commanding general in Yao Ji's memory.

"Yes, Father."

Yao Ji regained the lost strength in her voice, and the confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by determination.

She suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten her original intention:

The wedding that Her Majesty had been eagerly anticipating was successfully held.

And protect all the residents of Sunwheel City, not just during the wedding, but at any time!

She wants to achieve both of these!

With her mind focused, Yao Ji involuntarily clenched her slender hand, a powerful force surging within her.

"Also, don't take on all the responsibilities and burdens yourself."

"Although my father is old, he is not completely unreliable."

As they spoke, the general, who had turned to the side, naturally took in the expression on his daughter's face, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

So he went on to add more.

"After a whole afternoon of discussion, pharmacists and doctors throughout the city have come up with some methods to block and resolve the spread of the plague."

"I have already ordered people to prepare these."

"If you need anything else, feel free to come to me. I will fully support you, Yo-hime."

Hearing this,

The woman, having regained her faith, suddenly stood up straight in front of the former.

"Yes,"

"Lord General."

That was her response.

.........

.........

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of Queen Sun's wedding arrived in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the streets and alleys of Sunwheel City were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the faces of all the residents were filled with joy, as if the person getting married today was not the Queen, but their own children or relatives.

In fact, there isn't much difference.

For every resident of Sunwheel Castle, Queen Himiko's existence was like that of a close relative.

His approachable nature in ordinary times, his companionship during memorial services, his courage in the face of war, and so on. All his past deeds and actions have made the residents of this city regard him as a relative without blood ties.

Even the sun is probably not as kind and respectful as she is.

Or perhaps, precisely because she symbolizes the sun,

That's why the residents of this ancient city continue to believe in the sun.

After all, after thousands of years of cycles, those people who originally had a fanatical faith and devout reverence for the sun have long since turned into nothingness, leaving not even bones behind.

The will to serve and believe in the sun gradually faded.

The respect they have inherited remains unchanged, and even intensifies, only when facing the Queen who has always accompanied and protected the city.

"Father,"

"It's time to set off."
