Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye had only made a casual strike, with an effortless ease, as if he had casually picked up a cup and taken a sip of tea...

None of the people around saw clearly what Ye did. But they all knew it was him who did it. In the blink of an eye, they saw Higil cut into 2.5 pieces.

“Someone’s dead!”

"Your Majesty—!!"

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The soldiers who had accompanied Higil were now gripped by utter panic. Their king was dead?! Or had he been killed on some other land?!

Oh no, is Volsung planning to take action against their Gothic kingdom?

Now, let alone whether he can successfully escape back to China, even if he does, he will most likely be charged with failing to protect His Majesty, facing either death or spending the rest of his life in prison.

How could the soldiers have known that King Higil was dead?

Damn it—everything was sliced ​​into mist in an instant, and what was left turned into a horrible, sandwich-like shape. How could a person survive like that?

And that's precisely why the banquet is now in chaos.

Night looked at Sigourney—before preparing to leave, he asked, "Will you leave with me, or stay here..."

Having witnessed Ye's 'feat' firsthand, Siguni's eyes now held a peculiar emotion that even Ye couldn't decipher—an intense and passionate excitement.

The next moment, as if suddenly made up her mind, Siguni gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, lifted her skirt, and ran out of the crowd, throwing herself directly into Night's arms.

"Take me away...!"

…………?

Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore, even though I don't know what this little girl is imagining.

On the last night, he left with Sigourney.

And very quickly—the news that the seventh prince of the kingdom, who had abandoned his proper role as a prince, had recklessly attacked a king spread throughout the entire kingdom's capital at breakneck speed.

No matter how annoying Higil is, he is still a powerful king!

Such reckless behavior is completely incomprehensible to outsiders.

But the story takes an intriguing turn after they steal a warhorse and ride away with Sigourney that night. Soon, multiple versions of the banquet's events circulated, gradually becoming plausible and seemingly revealing the 'truth' of the matter.

The chosen hero who pulled the king's sword from the ancient tree—the kingdom's seventh prince!

Because he was unhappy that his sister was to be sacrificed and married to the Gothic king, he used the Holy Sword to kill the Gothic king and then fled to the ends of the earth with his sister.

Rushing to the crown as a confidant!

He killed a king for his sister! He was willing to bear a huge crime. When the logic reached this point, it seemed to be self-consistent and even moved many young girls in Scandinavia.

And so—ah—what a romantic hero, what a romantic knight…ah?!

...To avoid implicating their country, did the two even flee the kingdom alone, unable to stay with their home, choosing instead to live as fugitives?!

That's so cool!!

These versions of the story are incredibly absurd.

But it seems that it's not just those who, in order to justify themselves, have woven and perfected the cause-and-effect relationships in this story, who firmly believe in it...

Even the girl, one of the parties involved, seemed to have had some kind of subtle misunderstanding from the beginning.

Let's go back to the banquet earlier—

That night, the final sword strike killed Higel, and in doing so, also ended a tragic love affair for Sigourney. Originally, Sigourney's crisis was resolved, and it didn't really matter whether she left with him or not.

But considering the behavior of this group of irresponsible and spineless men from the divine family when faced with their sister being married off to a king who was by no means a good match, even without Higil, who knows, in a couple of days someone might become Churchill or Higil's fiancé.

So—the night gave Sigourney a choice, but without any explanation; which path she chose was entirely up to her own thoughts (and luck).

This is the mercy of the night as a powerful force.

Perhaps it was a momentary act of kindness, a fleeting feeling of compassion, but whether one can seize the opportunity depends entirely on oneself.

But who knows what Sigourney is really thinking?

From her perspective, something seems completely different...

Chapter 155 A Grand Act of Filial Piety: Is it possible that the other side is your biological father and brother?

Upon waking in the morning, Night took Sigourney on a white horse and continued their journey.

It had been a day and two nights since they left the castle.

Perhaps the commotion caused by the death of the Gothic king was large enough that even after Night and Sigourney had ridden far away, no one had caught up with them.

"Where are we going, brother?" Siguni lay on Night's strong chest, sitting in front of the horse. Although they were on the run, she felt a strange sense of security leaning on her brother.

She was so happy to be spared the humiliating and lewd Gothic king's marriage, and to have a trustworthy and reassuring brother by her side. She felt as if she were still in a dream.

Night replied, "To the Kingdom of Lapland...!"

Sigourney exclaimed in surprise, "Lapland? Why go to Lapland? If it's to escape Father's search and the Gothic Kingdom's revenge, shouldn't we flee to a more remote kingdom?"

Sigourney thought for a moment and quickly realized where Lapland was; it was a kingdom near their country.

Night: "Who told you we were on the run?"

Night's question left Siguni bewildered.

Is not it?

Her brother went so far as to kill King Higil of that powerful kingdom for her sake. This doting affection even surpassed familial love. It was precisely because her father and other brothers could not do such a thing, could not go to such lengths for her... that Siguni felt particularly impulsive, moved, and had a desire to repay this kindness at all costs.

Her other brothers and father could abandon her for the sake of the kingdom, but her brother was unique; for her—he could even… fight against the world…!! The romance of a man willing to stand against the entire world for you—even knowing that man is your brother… (Night: Only in name).

That's why, even though the road ahead was uncertain and seemed extremely dangerous, Sigourney still chose to run away with her brother.

The girl, who had already prepared herself to wander and flee, concealing her identity and appearance and enduring hardship, was now somewhat at a loss because of Ye's attitude.

Sigourney: "No... should we run away? But... the Gothic Kingdom—if they send their army."

The girl was genuinely worried about the powerful army of the Gothic Kingdom.

Even if my brother possesses the Holy Sword, how could one person, no matter how strong, possibly defeat a massive army?

Night: "No need to fear—it's just a matter of numerical disadvantage. If you can't fight against ten thousand, how can you be called a true hero, a king ordained by heaven?"

Although Ye wasn't really keen on the idea of ​​choosing a king for the sword in the tree, it was perfect timing to comfort the girl.

Despite her limited knowledge, Siguni had been deeply worried about this matter, but she did not regret running away with Night. At this moment, she was even more impressed and convinced by Night's calm and domineering words.

This is her proud brother! A man with such magnanimity and fearless courage, there is probably no other like him in the world!

Oh, right, it's not just the Gothic Kingdom that's a threat—there's also Father…!

Sigourney suddenly realized that there was more than one crisis.

In the haste of her escape, she didn't know the attitudes of her other brothers and father. But if these people wanted to take them back, or harm her brother—the thought made Sigourney clench her fists!

Despite her seemingly gentle and weak appearance, this girl is actually a woman of strong will and ruthlessness in mythology, a woman even men fear.

Once they've set their sights on someone, they become incredibly devoted, showering that person with unwavering kindness and relentlessly pursuing their goals with extraordinary perseverance.

Such a clever and prudent young girl is not the kind of decorative character. In the story of the great hero Sigmund, she provided assistance many times. Without her, the two brutes, Sigmund and his son, would have died countless times long ago.

It can be said that, apart from lacking practical skills, the Sigmund father and son combined are not as good as Siguni alone.

At this moment, Siguni gritted her teeth—!

Her brother had already displayed such formidable strength and was absolutely confident in dealing with the Gothic Kingdom. How could she possibly hold him back and allow their father and other brothers to influence him?

Fine, if her other brothers and father want to make a move, then they'll step over her own dead body! If necessary, she might even take the initiative to attack her former relatives.

When Sigourney was 'betrayed', no one dared to stand up for her except Night. When Night stood up, Sigourney had already decided that Night was the one for her.

Just like in the myth—only Sigmund stood up for her, and even almost drew his sword against Higir. Although he was eventually stopped by Volsung, the incident remained in Sigir's heart.

From that time on, although she still had a good relationship with her other brothers and father, the girl had a knot in her heart. When her nine brothers were killed by Higil, she cried very sadly but did nothing.

...Even when she was about to kill Sigmund, she dared to risk secretly smearing honey on his mouth, ultimately luring the brown bear, which was supposed to eat him, to simply lick the honey off his mouth and let him go.

This time, while Sigmund only verbally expressed his sympathy for him without making any outstanding contributions, Night went even further, killing Higil without hesitation.

This favor is far greater than anything Sigmund received in the original story!

Under this kind of special attack and dimensional reduction attack—Siguni, who was already very susceptible to this kind of thing, wanted to open her heart to Ye more than just.

In the original story, Sigourney was willing to give her life for Sigmund, who had only spoken a few words in her defense.

She even defied societal norms and had a child with him.

She was grateful for kindness, but she also had a vengeful side. She would repay kindness with her life, and she would repay her enemies tenfold. Even after having two children with Higil, she never wavered in her belief in revenge.

It's like the main character's interface in a wish-fulfillment novel...

At this moment, Siguni was quite bold. If others got along well, she would still treat them as family. But if they were not prepared to be human and wanted to attack Ye, then they shouldn't blame her for not being human either!

“Brother… perhaps we should be worried about more than just the Gothic Kingdom?” the girl suddenly said softly, her expression becoming complex yet resolute.

She said coldly, "I don't know the attitudes of my other brothers and father yet. I hope they don't do anything foolish. But don't worry, brother... I will protect you. Just like you protected me...—I will not allow them to harm you in the slightest before I die."

Night: "...??" What kind of outrageous act of filial piety is this?

Is it possible that your nine brothers and father are your real family, and I am just an imposter with no blood relation?

Moreover, Volsung might not necessarily turn against him, especially after mistakenly believing that he had decided to attain the demigod bloodline.

Does this younger sister have a lot of inner monologues?

Chapter 156 I'm fighting Su Nuo? Bah... My target is the human forging god.

He has a serious illness—!

But it's clear that he's truly loyal to me...

Even knowing Sigourney had the potential to turn evil, at her core—even after turning evil, she wasn't scary at all. Instead, she became even more passionate and unrestrained in love and hate, unconventional and free from worldly constraints… 'Whoever you are, you piece of trash, kill them all!!'

Her obsession, ironically, helps her protect those who deserve her love.

Then there's no problem (this level of corruption isn't called turning evil, it's clearly evolution)...

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Ye's mouth; it was a rare sight for her to suddenly smile at her adopted younger sister: "Is that so? Then you'll have to deal with Volsung and the others!"

Sigourney: "Eh?!?!"

Are you really going to let me do it?
