Although the truth of the world has been revealed and the human identity of the alien race has been confirmed, the historical grievances and estrangement between humans and alien races will not disappear immediately.

Currently, the vast majority of alien races are gathered in the former Church of Truth, at the foot of the Tree of Life.

In the distant past, that was the palace of the King of Sin.

Now it has been returned to its rightful owner, and a new Temple of Sin has been built.

Although only the throne stands, the king is nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the vast Hall of Sin was deserted and quiet, empty and secluded. Even under the Tree of Life, one could not feel the slightest bit of life.

A slender figure stood alone beside the throne.

Alone and lonely, desolate and forlorn.

After all, the king is gone.

"Your Highness Rogge..."

Shulan sighed sadly, gazing sorrowfully at the throne.

Its snow-white fox ears drooped slightly, and its fluffy fox tail hung listlessly.

From the day the Palace of Sin was built, she has come to this spot every day without fail, guarding the empty throne.

It was as if they were serving a king who had vanished without a trace, waiting for his return.

Rain or shine.

However, in her heart, there will always be only one king.

That is Prince Rogge.

To be precise, she served not the King of Sin, but Prince Rogge.

She didn't care about the sinful race, nor the alien race, nor the world.

The only person she cared about was Prince Rogge.

The child who grew up under her care from childhood and gradually became the King of Sin.

Everything she did was to fulfill that child's wish.

Because that child was the first person to compliment her on how beautiful her white hair was.

When she was young, her white hair made her stand out from the world, and even other races regarded it as a curse.

So, feeling inferior, she used her talent to hide her white hair.

Later, she was assigned to take care of the young Prince Rogge.

By accident, she revealed her hair color to His Highness.

She noticed His Highness staring at her in surprise, and fearing that she would be disliked, she frantically tried to use illusion magic to cover up her hair color.

Just then, His Highness's voice came.

"It's so beautiful."

The sudden exclamation made her pause.

She looked up at His Highness in disbelief, only to see the child smiling broadly.

"So Sister Shulan has white hair! She's as beautiful as snow!"

"Your Highness...don't you dislike my...white hair?"

She stared blankly at His Highness, her voice trembling with unease as she asked.

His Highness's answer was perfectly reasonable.

"Hate it? Why would I hate it? Isn't it normal to like white hair? I love white hair."

"Your Highness..."

His Highness Rogge's answer was like heavenly music, giving her an unprecedented sense of redemption.

She couldn't help but step forward and hug the child tightly.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

"Your Highness, thank you..."

His Highness seemed to notice her tears and was somewhat at a loss.

"Sister Shulan, did I say something wrong... Ah, no, I really like Sister Shulan's usual disguise of black hair too. Ultimately, I like Sister Shulan more than black hair or white hair!"

"Yes, I like Your Highness too."

From that moment on, she made up her mind to serve Prince Rogge.

Until forever.

"We promised to stay together until the end, but why did you leave me behind, Your Highness?"

Shulan's eyes were blurry with tears.

The destruction of the Age of Truth is a victory for the entire alien race and even the whole world.

But for her, it was a tremendous failure that she would regret for the rest of her life.

She should, as in the past, monitor His Highness's every move and stay by his side at all times.

Even if it displeases His Highness, at least it ensures that His Highness will stay by his side and not suddenly disappear.

It can also prevent stray cats from stealing fish.

Shulan is confident that she can do this.

After all, that's what she did in the past, driving away many women who coveted His Highness. Only Ji Xia, as His Highness's guard, was forcibly brought in.

That braised lizard shamelessly used its position to stick close to His Highness.

They can't be driven away no matter what.

"Your Highness only needs me..."

Shulan muttered to herself.

She refused to believe that Prince Roger would die like this.

She kept telling herself that Prince Roger had just gone to a faraway place and would return someday.

Before that, she had to take care of everything in the Hall of Sin.

Because this is her love nest with Prince Roger.

When His Highness returns, she will make him fulfill his childhood promise and use the bond of marriage to keep him firmly by her side.

"His Highness said that after he becomes a criminal king, he will marry my sister as his queen..."

Shulan spoke softly.

His eyes gradually lost their light, and his expression became somewhat eerie.

Suddenly, a weak, feeble sound came from the door.

"The master never said those things."

Ji Xia entered the Hall of Sin, looking utterly dejected.

It has completely lost its former vitality and vigor.

"Why aren't you in the dragon's lair underground? What are you doing here?"

Shu Lan frowned, seemingly somewhat displeased with Ji Xia's interruption.

In fact, since the war ended and they learned of Rogge's tragic death from the Sword Maiden, the morale of the officers had plummeted. Even Goode and Crimson Phoenix, who were concerned about the alien race, felt no joy of victory.

Good felt bored and left, not knowing where he went.

Wolf, on the other hand, barked like a mad dog, leading his wolf gang to cause trouble everywhere.

During the day, Chi Huang would force herself to deal with the affairs of the alien races, but at night, when she returned to the Palace of Sin, she would often be heartbroken and shed tears, like a mother who had lost her dearest child.

There's also Ira, a fairy, who stays in the attic of the side hall every day, watching over a certain hidden being they discovered in the sanctuary.

As for Ji Xia, she was like a pet abandoned by its owner.

Homeless and dejected, she returned to her former home, waiting for her vanished owner to come back and take her away.

"After thinking about it, I think it's better to wait for the master here."

Ji Xia lowered her head and said.

"That way, if my master really comes back someday, I can rush over and hug him right away."

After saying that, she didn't even feel like arguing with Shulan anymore.

He sat down directly on the steps below the throne, rested his cheeks in his hands, and gazed longingly at the doorway.

She resembles a rock waiting for her husband.

Ji Xia never hides her affection for her master.

As a child, she suffered persecution from the Truth Cult. Even after being rescued by Lord Red Phoenix, she remained wary of everyone and bared her sharp teeth and claws at anyone who got close to her.

He was a complete wild child, and no one dared to approach him.

In the end, her owner accepted her.

No matter how fiercely she bared her teeth and claws, her master didn't care.

Instead, he slowly walked up to her, pulled her out of the mud, gently hugged her, who was covered in dirt, and stroked her messy hair.

The warm embrace, the soothing touch, and the pleasant scent were deeply imprinted in her mind.

It captivated her.

Unforgettable.

Therefore, she vowed to protect her master.

Her master's embrace was her dragon's lair, and her master himself was her most precious treasure.

No one is allowed to take it away.

"..."

Shulan glanced at Ji Xia, who looked dazed and confused.

In the end, he didn't say anything more.

The empty Palace of Sin fell silent once more.

……

Meanwhile, in the side hall's pavilion.

Ira was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping figure lying on it.

As a fairy, he could sense that the other party possessed a rich life force, but for some reason, it remained in a state of slumber.

Although the person sleeping in front of her was not Rogge, Ira could always think of Rogge whenever she saw him.

The thought of Roger made him blush and his heart race, but soon his heart ached and he felt deeply saddened.

"Brother Roger, do you know? I've been lying to you all this time..."

Ira pursed her lips and revealed her true feelings to the sleeping man.

He came from the streets, so he learned to protect himself with disguise from a young age, to the point that he never took off his disguise even in front of Roger.

"When I said I wanted to become a man like you, it was just an excuse."

"The real reason is that I admire Brother Roger and want to be closer to you."

"I once said I would spread the word about Brother Roger's great achievements, but now even without my promotion, his heroic deeds have already spread throughout the world..."

At this point, Ira's expression clearly showed some sadness.

"I'm such a useless underling, all I do is hold Brother Roger back, I can't help with anything..."

"But at least, at least let me tell you my secret! Brother Roger, actually I—"

"I'm not interested in hearing about this. You can save it for later."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Ira's words.

Ira looked up at the head of the bed in surprise.

The sleeping person had opened their eyes at some point, their dark purple pupils scrutinizing Ira with interest.

A charming and captivating smile appeared on her lips.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

Suffocating.
