Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

As Vlame finished speaking, Simmel, with a complex expression, slowly emerged from behind the tree.

He crushed the fallen leaves and branches on the ground, gripped the sword of the warrior at his waist with his right hand, and stared intently at Vlamé and Ronan.

He never imagined that the two people in front of him were the culprits who imprisoned Awula back then.

I never imagined that I would become a father.

The series of shocks left him completely bewildered.

Aura asked nervously, "Sim...Simmel, when did you arrive?"

She carefully recalled her conversation with the two men and realized that they hadn't discussed her demonic identity.

However, she knew that this matter could not be kept from Simmel in the end.

Children will always be born.

“Just now, when you said you wanted to abort this child,” Simmel said in a deep voice, her gaze incredibly complex.

"just?"

Aura breathed a sigh of relief, her tense muscles relaxing slightly.

But then, Simmel's next words made her heart leap into her throat.

"Why did you take him down? Did they have some leverage over you?"

“Tell me, if they bully you, I’ll beat them.”

The more critical the moment, the less you should back down, even if the opponent is a legendary hero.

As he spoke, the hero's sword at his waist was already drawn, and a dazzling blade flashed into Aura's eyes.

"?"

Aura was stunned again.

"you?"

His body began to tremble. He hadn't been drinking last night, so how could he have said such a thing?

Just as she was trying to clear her mind, thinking about how to get Vlamé and Ronan to spare her life.

Ronan interlaced his fingers and suddenly chuckled softly:

“Defeat? Interesting, Simmel, I’m growing to admire you more and more.”

He straightened his posture, watching Simmel's slight pursing of her lips, paused, and continued:

"You should know our identities, right? Since you do, how dare you say such things... Hmm, I am indeed very relieved that you have become a father."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the other side.

“Aura, you have five minutes to go and have a good talk with him and explain this matter.”

"If he can accept your presence in five minutes, then we can talk about other things."

"Remember, don't try to run away. No matter where you run, we will find you."

The words carried a hint of mockery, and Awula immediately looked as if she had lost her parents, her face turning deathly pale.

She knew in her heart that Ronan wanted her to reveal her true identity to Simmel.

If Simmel didn't kill him with a single sword strike, it meant he still had value.

Will it split?

Torn between conflicting emotions, she placed her fingers on her lower abdomen, but had no other choice.

I just hope Simmel will think of the children...

"Well, let's go."

Ronan issued an ultimatum, and Aura took a deep breath, but could only disappear into the forest with Simmel.

"Ronan, you..."

Seeing this, Vlame was puzzled. Should she be made to confess herself?

Her original plan was to reveal Aura's identity directly, and then let Simmel choose between saving the mother and the child.

This allows us to see how humans treat demons in extreme circumstances.

This also allows us to discern Simmel's true inner feelings.

If you love someone deeply, you won't choose either; if you don't love someone...

Ronan simply smiled faintly and replied softly:

"That's the problem; human nature can't withstand the test."

"The choice between the two is no less than when Celie asked me, 'If she and Frilian fell into the water, who would I save first?'"

"Instead of interrogating him on the spot, it's better to give Simmel some breathing room. If it's just the two of them present, he will definitely choose to protect him."

Ronan's gaze swept deep into the forest, as if he could see through the layers of trees to the two figures talking.

This is just one of the reasons.

Secondly, he wanted to see if Simmel could remain steadfast in his beliefs when Aura's true identity was fully exposed in the future.

And, when Aura is protected by Simmel to the death, will she feel gratitude?

If not, then it means that the demon race is truly beyond saving.

Vlame slowly exhaled, having roughly understood the cause and effect of the incident.

As expected, as the two returned, Simmel seemed to have come to a realization and tightly protected Aura behind her.

He recalled every detail of his journey, decisively took a step forward, and spoke with a firm voice:

"Let me speak to you in her place. I already know everything."

"So what if they're demons? They're human too, they speak human language, and they experience human joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

"Imprison them simply because they can't empathize? I absolutely cannot accept such a world!"

Ronan laughed.

Simmel was still Simmel; even though the course of his fate had changed, the fundamental nature of his character remained unchanged.

He gestured for Simmel to calm down, and then slowly began to speak:

“Impressive presence. Indeed, as you said, we have been researching how to integrate the demon race into human society in recent years.”

"Although there were some unexpected events along the way, namely Aura's escape..." He paused here, "even so, will you still protect her?"

"Even if your parents find out, even if your companions find out, even if the entire demon race finds out about her existence as a traitor."

"You will protect her with your life and not let her get hurt in the slightest?"

This series of soul-searching questions did not shake Simmel; on the contrary, it made him even more determined.

He nodded solemnly and firmly, saying:

"Yes, because I am the father of the children, I believe they will understand me."

"The fact that you didn't capture her immediately proves that you truly believe the demon race will change, doesn't it?"

Ronan didn't believe it; he was only willing to help because Vlamé was interested.

However, his silence at this moment was interpreted by Simmel as acquiescence.

Since even the gods believed in it, he felt more and more certain that he had not done anything wrong.

Behind him, a strange light flashed in Aura's eyes.

Should we call him stupid or...?

"Think what you want, but the demon race's reproductive cycle is over ten years. With such a long time ahead, you're going to be quite busy from now on."

Ronan pulled a miniature warrior's sword from his pocket and tossed it to Simmel.

"This is my token. If you can't hold on any longer, come find me in the Central Continent."

It is not just a token, but also proof of resurrection.

If Aura remained unchanged until her death, it would allow Simmel to see the true nature of the demon race.

Simmel accepted it blankly, then nodded slightly, secretly vowing in her heart that she would persevere.

However, the most urgent thing is to tell my friends about this.

hope……

Don't fall out.

What motivated Simmel to return to the team is unknown.

In short, the group continued their journey.

"Let's go."

Ronan turned around, having finished dealing with the matter, and prepared to leave with Vlamé.

Those who needed to be reminded have been reminded, and those who needed to be warned have been warned.

Next, we'll have to wait and see how things develop after Aura gives birth to the child in ten years.

Vlame looked thoughtful, wondering whether Aura's child was a boy or a girl.

She preferred to have both a son and a daughter rather than "he" being a boy.

After all, this way, they can determine how male and female demons will differ in personality after their bloodlines are diluted.

However, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Ronan rarely told me about these things that foresee the future, seemingly to prevent me from losing my curiosity to explore."

"But the more he forbids it, the more curious I become. If only I could learn the magic of foreseeing the future..."

I vaguely remember that the Southern Hero knew this kind of magic, but I don't know where he got it from.

This is clearly not something that humans can obtain.
