……

The black sword in Elusia's hand had turned into a pure and elegant white.

And that dazzling light completely engulfed the entire world before them...

Chapter 49 The Story of Isabelle and Samantha

Everything returned to peace.

Sermentis knelt on the ground, seemingly having lost the ability to continue fighting.

And what about Lorne?

They breathed a sigh of relief, because Elusia seemed unharmed and had not suffered any accident.

……

"Elusia, are you alright?"

"Yes, of course I'm fine. But you silly little thing, are you alright?"

"what?"

"I'm not just worried about you, I'm afraid your health will worsen and you won't have any foxes to play with anymore, that would be such a shame~~"

Although she said she didn't care, Elusia was staring at Lonnies's body, as if afraid that she would suddenly collapse.

And then...

"Ouch, it hurts so much."

"Huh?! What's going on?"

Seeing this, Elusia quickly ran forward and hugged Lonnie. The girl's embrace was so warm and soft, making Lonnie feel exceptionally safe.

But this made Lonnie suddenly feel a little embarrassed to admit that she was joking.

And it was precisely this silence and guilty conscience that, in Elusia's eyes, became proof that Lonnie didn't want anyone to worry... This made the black-haired girl frown and say sternly:

"Silly boy, don't try to hide it from me. Tell me right now what's wrong."

"I...I'm sorry?"

"what?"

"I'm fine. I just wanted to scare Elusia a little..."

After saying that, Lonnie tucked her tail between her legs, afraid that Elusia would yank it off fiercely!

And what about this black-haired girl?

As expected, he frowned, his eyes glaring fiercely at Lonnie, as if he wanted to devour her: "Damn it, you little fool, how dare you deceive your master."

"Ugh..."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the important things we need to do right now, I would definitely take you right here and now and play with you until you're unconscious!"

……

Elusia's finger was already near "Level 8", but perhaps because the atmosphere wasn't right, she didn't make a move.

Seemingly to ease the awkwardness, Cecilia quickly ran over and said:

"Princess Elusia...are you...are you alright?"

"Yes, of course it's fine. But what's next is a bit of a problem, Cecily. I need your help."

"help?"

"Yes, my personal experience is not convincing. Only you could do something like that."

After saying that, Elusia looked at Semintides, who was kneeling on the ground.

It didn't look like a corpse, because even though it had been defeated, its body was still trembling slightly... If you listened carefully, you could even hear faint breathing sounds.

……

"Senior Elusia, what can I do?"

"Well, only a princess can persuade another princess, isn't that right... Princess Isabelle?"

"Isabel?!"

Upon hearing Elusia's words, both Lonese and Cecilia trembled simultaneously.

Because if they remembered correctly, wasn't this the tomb of Prince Semantis and Princess Isabella?

So this knight is Princess Isabella, which means...

She didn't die?

……

Seemingly sensing the girls' gazes, the knight, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up.

She slowly removed her full-coverage helmet, revealing a slightly aged face.

Her golden hair had faded, with only a trace of shine remaining at the ends. Her face was covered with wrinkles left by the years, but through her well-proportioned features, one could still imagine that she was a very beautiful girl in her youth.

……

"This is……"

“That’s right, I am Isabelle. I never thought that after so many years, someone would still call me Princess Isabelle.”

Isabel slowly stood up. Her voice was not only full of vicissitudes, but also sounded hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time.

Elusia nodded and said, "Because we are both princesses, each burdened with an inescapable fate, so I did some research on your story beforehand."

"..."

"Prince Semantis was one of the greatest warriors in the Millennium Apocalypse War. His body had not been tempered by demon cells, yet he had already slain the Lord of the Otherworld. He was one of humanity's hopes, but in the later stages of the war, he died on the battlefield while protecting his comrades."

"Yes, but even in stories, no one will record it. Sermentis actually chose to sacrifice himself to protect me."

"!"

"Moreover, this world wouldn't even record it. The so-called Prince Semantis was actually originally a girl. It's just that the Ross Empire has a long-standing patriarchal tradition, so in order to boost morale, Sister Semantis had no choice but to live in front of people as a man..."

Isabel lowered her head and began to tell a story.

It turns out that a thousand years ago, the world order had completely collapsed.

In such a fierce situation, the territories of various countries were not even connected... Many times, suddenly appearing armies of monsters would surge out of the portals, sweeping across the cities and plundering people's lives.

At that time, people didn't even have the power of Rainbow Abyss; all they could rely on were gunpowder and magic crystals.

In order to protect the people of the country, Semantis had to rush to the aid of others. During the fierce battles, there were many instances where Semantis's armor was torn apart, and even her body was entangled by monsters.

This was undoubtedly exploited by some traitors and villains.

They recorded this scene with cameras and crystals, attempting to shake people's confidence and destroy the faith of the human army.

People couldn't believe that the Prince of Samantha, whom they trusted, was actually a girl, and some loyal fans even believed that Isabelle was behind all of this.

Compared to the valiant prince, Princess Isabella has always been perceived as willful and capricious, leading to widespread rumors that she was shameless and impersonated Samantha to commit immoral acts.

Because of this incident, Samantha himself has always felt guilty towards Isabel. She believes that it was her existence that caused Isabel to live in her shadow and be constantly criticized.

And so, at that final moment.

……

"I'm sorry, Isabel. It's all because of me that all of this happened, so I will do everything in my power to save you from here."

"No, how can you? Sister, you did nothing wrong... Waaah..."

Isabel wanted to say something more, but she had already been knocked unconscious by Samantha.

And what about the last images that remain in our memories?

But it was when my sister took off her helmet that she gave a confident and gentle smile:

"Well then, goodbye. I hope you can live a happy life."

Chapter 50 The Girl's Awakening

After Isabel finished her narration, the girls felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Lonnie wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to comfort her in this situation.

Elusia closed her eyes in disappointment and sighed:

"So, you've been living here ever since then?"

"Yes, after Sermentis died, she was buried here. And I had no desire to stay in the world any longer, so I stayed here with her."

"..."

Lonnies took a deep breath. Although Isabel made it sound so easy, how could an ordinary person endure staying in such a place for a thousand years?

In the dark and icy tomb, how could she endure it for so long?

However, just as Lonnies was slightly confused, Cecilu seemed to remember something and said:

"Princess Isabel, you...you don't mean to do that kind of thing, do you?"

"Of course, I have been silent for a thousand years, just waiting for this moment, just searching for this moment that can change my destiny!"

"!"

"So, my target is you! Heroine Lonnie, please help me! I want to go back to the past, I want to stop that from happening... As long as I can bring Sermentis back to life, even if I have to endure a thousand years, it doesn't matter at all!"

……

As she spoke, Isabel rushed over.

Her target seemed to be Lonnie, and her eyes were fixed on the girl's face, as if she wanted to force Lonnie to take her back to the past.
