There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Along with the last wisp of smoke and dust, her mute last words also rushed towards the Golden Law Guard.

"Brandt Reiner..."

"You can't avoid choices forever..."

Volume 8: Chapter 53: The Gold of Trilintelme

"I..."

The dust hit Brandt's body, but it just clung to it lightly, like dust that was brushed off, without causing any damage.

His body had long since become tough under the power of the Golden Rule, and the curses cast by the remaining members of the Witch King before their death were nothing to him.

But those last words kept echoing in his ears.

"choose..."

Maintaining this posture, Brandt put away the sword and reached out to brush off the dust on his body.

"Heh... Is it possible that someone like me is worthy of a choice?"

"I'm sorry to have frightened you both. This incident was caused by me, and I sincerely apologize to you both."

Turning to face Talina, Brent bent down and apologized sincerely.

Judging from the last words of the Witch King's remnants, these people's target was most likely him, and Talina and Maria just happened to be involved.

Of course he should apologize, morally and logically.

But for Tarina, the reality was different.

Hiding the paper in her hand, Talina shook her head. "It's nothing. Just a few thugs. Desperate and barking, they're bound to make some noise."

"In that case, let's continue on our journey."

Seeing that Talina didn't care, Brent finally felt relieved.

On the other side, Loris, who was directing the military police to clear the battlefield, saw that Brandt was free, so he hurried over and reported the situation to Brandt.

"Sir, there were 18 enemies in total. We killed 18 of them, and their bodies were reduced to ashes."

Even though he was telling lies with his eyes open, Loris actually looked upright.

"Well, please keep watch nearby to prevent enemy reinforcements. I've already notified the Golden Law Guards, and they'll be here to take over in half an hour. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Brandt nodded. He was so busy with his thoughts that he didn't carefully search the surrounding situation. Now he wanted to safely send the two juniors he brought with him to the ceremony site.

Because of Viviana, he also has some good feelings towards his junior, Talina. If something really happens to her at his hands, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

He "killed" Ernst and watched Werner die coldly, over and over again. After the "battle of conscience" just now, he no longer wanted to escape.

He has made his choice!

"It's not hard, then, sir, have a safe journey."

Taking off the hat on his head, Loris bent down and respectfully saw the three people off.

This flattering performance was textbook-level. Tarina couldn't even see any sense of incongruity, and it was unclear whether it was an acting skill or a true expression of her feelings.

After the three people left, Loris waved his hand to disperse the gendarmes he brought with him and asked them to guard the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he walked to the marigold pond.

"Come out, how long are you going to hide?"

.........

On the rest of the journey, Talina and the other two did not encounter any danger and arrived at the ceremony venue safely.

The Queen's Celebration begins at 7 p.m., near nightfall, which was also the time of the attack on the Witch King's Tower twenty-three years ago.

During the waiting time, the electors who left their own territories would walk around, either chatting and reminiscing with their friends, or exchanging a few words with their political enemies.

The middle and lower class nobles used this place as a cocktail party to make friends and as a backup ally.

This is the time that the queens deliberately set aside to communicate with their subordinates.

Talina and Maria were arranged by Brandt to a relatively quiet place. Most of the people gathered around them were young ladies from various noble families. The environment was comfortable and relaxing.

He didn't dare put Talina in a crowd. If some ignorant young man from a noble family came to chat with her, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would take action.

About five hours passed, and the sky changed from a clear blue sky at the beginning to a dim sunset.

On the twin towers in the center of Trilinterme, the two queens each walked out of their own tower and looked at each other from afar on the covered bridge.

The setting sun silhouetted their figures, and the two queens, dressed in gorgeous dresses, smiled at each other.

The two of them crossed the long distance and finally came together.

Liselotte took Hildegard's hand and led her to the bridge, where they both watched the setting sun.

Facing the silent Hildegarde, it was Liselotte who finally spoke first.

She reached out and tucked the hair by her ear, revealing a perfect profile, and asked softly, "Do you believe... that the Golden Rule will completely change its tune?"

“I only care about the results.”

His unchanging indifferent expression was moved for a moment, and feeling the softness in the palm of her hand, Hildegard answered rather uncomfortably.

"The last person to rewrite the Golden Rule was Herhunzollon, but even he didn't think of destroying it. Am I being too bold?"

"The Golden Rule is the foundation of Leithania's order."

Turning to look at Lizellot, Xilind and Jiade said seriously: "From everyone's perception of aesthetics, the habits and methods of using Originium techniques, to the electoral system and the emperor's power... once the movement is destroyed, all of these prerequisites will be destroyed."

"By then, Leitania will be undergoing unprecedented upheaval."

Even though they were rivals, Hildegard still gave her sincere advice.

Ever since the plan at Ludwig University failed, the initiative fell into Bai Huang's hands. This was something they had agreed on in advance.

As long as Hildegard fails, Liselotte will take over everything that follows.

"Dramatic changes... But changes aren't always bad. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been born."

Lowering her head under Hillardgard's gaze, Liz Lo moved a little closer to her friend, and only stopped when their shoulders touched.

"A pair of children born through rituals simply defied the laws of nature."

Hildegard gently squeezed Liselotte's palm. She noticed the confusion and helplessness of the person next to her, reached out and pulled her into her arms, and comforted her softly.

“This is only the beginning,” Frémont once told Leopold.

Leaning her head on Hildegarde's, Liselotte's eyes were filled with the brilliance of the sunset.

"We were still infants at the time, but I know you understood their conversation as well as I did."

"We were born with a mission. We were destined to change Leithania. Leopold fears us, so he has prepared an entire army, intending to tear us apart from behind after he has used us."

"But we survived."

"We did not choose to be born..."

After listening to Liselotte's words, Hildegard was silent for a moment, then continued: "But since we have life, we have the right to continue living."

Her words were so powerful, like a sharp sword piercing Liselotte's heart, sweeping away the dust and confusion for her.

With the encouragement of her friends, Liselotte seemed to gain strength. She raised her hands to the air, "touching" the sunset.

"Twenty-three years ago, we stood in this very spot... facing the same sunset, but a different chaotic scene."

"Before we began that much-anticipated concert, you reached out your hand to me."

"you say..."

Before Liselotte could speak, Hildebacher recalled what she had said in her dream: "The sunset here belongs to no one, not to Herzog, not to Leopold, not to any elector, and not to any ambitious nobleman."

Every word and sentence is exactly the same as it was originally, without a single difference.

Liselotte nodded slightly. "Well, you pulled me along, and we walked here together. We don't have to report to the electors, and we don't have to obey anyone's orders."

"From that point on, we decided our own destiny."

"The human heart is truly fascinating... Once an artificial child has a heart, it will also develop many human desires."

"A seemingly weak person, with a wish so simple that it couldn't be simpler, might be able to achieve what even Herkunzoron couldn't... redefine Leitania."

"you..."

Looking at her friend who was lost in her own world, Hildegard hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear to wake her up.

However, Liselotte smiled cheerfully and winked at her friend with a hint of mischief: "You want to ask me if I've been too lenient with Kela, right?"

"Isn't it the same with you?"

Liselotte extended her right hand and gently placed it on Hildegard's chest, feeling the beating of her heart. "Our hearts are connected, even though it has been a long time since we heard each other's heartbeats or watched the sunset over Trilinterme together."

"Let's just watch it together for a while. It probably won't take long."

"it is good..."

Nodding, Hildegard stood up straight and looked at the red glow in the sky with Liselotte.

"What do you think...the future will be like?"

"Will it get better? Or worse?"

"I don't know, but it won't be worse than it is now."

"Too."

Laughing softly, Liselotte looked down at the tower, watching the ant-sized people walking back and forth. As if possessed by a ghost, she asked, "You said..."

“Will I be a good mother?”

"what?"

Hildegard turned around with a little surprise, and after seeing the seriousness on her friend's face, she realized that this was her "true words".

Without much thought, Hildegard nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, you will definitely be a good mother."

Listening to Hildegard's answer, Liselotte lowered her head, and the dark color in her eyes covered her bright eyes.

What flashed by was an apology... or reluctance?

Looking up at Hildegard, Liselotte smiled brightly, like the clouds in the sky.

"Really... Then you will definitely be a good father."

Volume 8: Chapter 54: Consecration

As night approached, Talina and Maria waited obediently in their seats, waiting for the Queen's celebration to begin.

During this time, other noble ladies came over and wanted to chat, but they were all sent away by the experienced Talina.

Are you kidding? After so many years in the world, she can tell whether these women are good or bad at a glance!

She realized at a glance that these women were just after her body, so she simply took Maria to the dining table and filled her stomachs non-stop.

While eating the food at hand, Talina gave Maria some advice: "Look, there aren't many good people among these nobles. The one on the left is surrounded by girls. You can tell at a glance that he's a seasoned playboy."

"And that girl over there, she seems to be clean, but in fact, she just hasn't found a suitable target yet. Maybe a few noble ladies of higher status will come over here soon, and then she will make a move. Just wait and see if you don't believe me!"

Commenting on them one by one, Talina solemnly "warned" Maria: "Be careful when you're out alone in the future. These bad women have many tricks up their sleeves. They like to use their gender advantage to get close to you, bully you, and take advantage of you."

"Especially someone like you who is ignorant of the ways of the world."

"Mmmmm... I get it!"

Maria nodded seriously, took the drink handed to her by Talina, and swallowed the food in her mouth in one gulp.

The two people's unique eating habits and appearance successfully prevented some people with bad intentions from approaching them, and they got temporary peace.

To outsiders, they were just two strangers who had received a special invitation, no different from nouveau riche. Even though they had the honor of being personally received by Brandt, the commander of the Golden Rule Guards, their behavior had almost exhausted their honor.

After the food in front of them was almost finished, the prelude to the Queen's Celebration began.

Fireworks exploded all around, forming a special pattern in the sky. The lights in the venue came on, illuminating the dim place as bright as day.

"here we go..."

Stretching out her hand to block the view in front of her, Talina looked up at the height of the Twin Queens' Tower with empty eyes.

She had noticed it two hours ago. There were occasional glances from there. If her guess was correct, the two queens were probably there.

As expected, after the chief of the Queen's Voice came out to announce the start of the celebration, a staircase made of magic suddenly appeared on the corridor bridge, with brilliant colors and gorgeous shapes.

The two queens walked down side by side. The one in white had a kind expression and occasionally waved in response to the exchanges below, while the one in black had a grim expression and kept the same expression on her face.
