The young butler Kane carefully walked through the hall holding the arcane candle. When it got dark, he wanted to light all the lights in the king's private residence. This is what is meant by "lighting up the night".

A recent legendary novel called Tainan Travels is the most popular among young people in the entire Western Continent. In this book, the author seems to have personally experienced the customs of the distant Eastern Land, and the detailed descriptions are fascinating.

He had to finish his work quickly so that he could continue reading the book.

With the energy of hard work, Kane held the candle and walked up the steps. After lighting up the second floor, he glanced at the third floor - according to the instructions of the head maid Lena, no one could go to the third floor, so

After igniting the lamp at the entrance of the stairs, the young man extinguished the arcane candle. When he walked to the steps leading to the first floor, he happened to see Mrs. Aina and the head maid Lena walking into the door covered in dust.

"Welcome back, madam, head maid." As a young butler, Kane said hello to these two excellencies - they are legends. If Kane was not a butler, then he would respectfully call them your excellencies, not like

Now like this, the wife and the maid are in proportion to each other.

"Kane, it seems that you have taken over your grandfather's duties. Do your job well, thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Aina has always been kind to the members who serve the family. This is different from Mrs. Manley. Grandpa also said that Mrs. Manly

I prefer to look at everyone with a harsh eye.

Kane saluted the lady and noticed an unknown suitcase in the head maid's hand.

Looks very heavy.

It must be something he doesn't need to know. Kane turned his attention away and took the sheathed sword from the other hand of Maid Lina: "Maid, is the old position right?"

"Yes, old position, it looks like your grandpa told you how to do things."

"Yes, Head Maid."

Kane took the sword and put it in the storage room under the stairs. He only needed to put it there. The head maid Lena took care of the long sword herself. A real swordsman would never hand over his beloved blade to others.

reason.

"Kane, where is my husband?" Mrs. Aina scanned the hall.

"His Majesty went to Carter Castle at noon, and he has not come back yet." Kane told his wife truthfully about His Majesty's situation - Carter Castle is now a more prosperous city than Regensburg, and His Majesty's eldest daughter,

The current Duke's wife, Princess Faye, lives there. Maybe His Majesty will not come back tonight.

Of course, this is just Kegan's guess, and the reason for this speculation is because the owners of this private house rarely come back recently.

"Is it at Marin's side? Then I'm relieved. Kane, go tell the maids to prepare some bath water for me. Lina, you can take a bath too."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll do it right away." Kane nodded, and then quickly left - he was going to the maid's lounge to tell the lovely girls that the mistress of this private house was back and needed them.

………………

"He is a sensible young man. I originally thought he would make some mistakes." Lian Na watched the young housekeeper leave the hall with impeccable actions. She sighed, and then unbuttoned her coat to reveal her inner clothes.

The earth dragon skin breastplate is full of scars. Among those wounds, you can see some scars on the chain armor.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lian Na. This time we almost let the smugglers escape, thanks to the alertness of the team of young people sent by Marin." Aina said while wiping the black blood pouring out of the corner of her mouth.

This was an injury to her lungs. At the most dangerous time, she fought three dark wizards at the same time. If it hadn't been for the young men of the Marin Commandos who risked their lives to save her, Aina felt that she would have been lying on the bed for at least a few years.

"Without them, you will die, Aina. I told you that you, a mage, should not stand at the front. Even if you are a battle mage, your sword dance skills are nothing compared to real mage hunters.

"Lian Na's criticism can be said to be very sharp.

Aina did not refute, but nodded: "I know, I'm sorry." The World Tree fruit potion was healing her body, and the contaminated blood spit out was actually a good thing for Aina.

She wiped off the blood on her hands with a handkerchief, and then used her spiritual power to crush it: "Girls are here, don't show off."

"At least I can still stand. You should be more careful and slip down." Lian Na rolled her eyes at her mistress, and then began to take off the damaged leather armor on her body - she took it off twice, and then simply tore it off.

This leather armor cannot be repaired.

The young maids walked out of the corridor. They said hello to Aina and Lena, and then walked towards the bath - there was a lot for them to prepare there.

After taking off her chain armor, Lian Na threw it on the sofa, then turned to look at Aina: "Speaking of which, that dark wizard... do you recognize it?"

This question made Aina silent for a while, and finally she nodded: "...I recognize it, Manli, my sister. In another timeline, she will degenerate into a dark wizard. This is something I did not expect.

"

"It was because you recognized her that you were slow in the battle. Because of this, you were injured. Those young men in the commando team killed five of their best soldiers to save you. You idiot, you are obviously

Manli from another world is not the person you are familiar with at all, why are you still stunned?" Lian Na looked at Aina and reviewed the battle process coldly.

"...But, it is still Manli after all. Even if I cut off her head in the end, she is still Manli. In that world, she betrayed everything just to survive..."

"I think that's why she is Goethe's wife, and you are the damn wife." Lena used Elvish for this sentence.

And Aina sighed: "I know I was wrong, Lina."

"Then remember today, remember the young man who died for you, don't let the blood flow in vain, no matter who you meet next time, chop off his head." After Lian Na said that, she turned to look at

Out of the gate, Aina turned around first.

They heard the sound of the locomotive and the guard's voice: "Master, why are you back?"

The hostess and the head maid looked at each other. Finally, the head maid picked up the broken leather armor and suitcase and walked to the second floor. Aina adjusted her breath and watched this family member walk in with a lost look.

.

"I just got home too. I heard from Kane that you went to Marin. I thought you wouldn't come back today, Nasha! My dear! As soon as you go, tell Kane and ask him to find a cook to prepare dinner for us."

The Nasha that Aina called was one of the young maids. She got out of the bath, and Toby, the bunny girl who heard it, ran on tiptoes on the carpet as she walked through the hall.

above.

"Goethe, what's wrong with you?" Aina walked to her husband's side. She noticed the tears on his face and the smell of alcohol on his body.

Aina was a little puzzled as to why Marin was so drunk, but what she was even more puzzled about was how her father could be so wronged if Faye was here.

It shouldn’t be. Aina helped her husband to sit down next to the sofa. Then Aina turned around and went to the kitchen. The cooks were preparing dinner. Aina took out the honey from the cupboard with ease. Honey water and sake were elves.

method, and this is what Aina is doing now.

Picking up the soaked honey water, Aina returned to the living room and saw her husband sitting there, tears falling from the corners of his eyes without any restraint.

"My dear, what's wrong with you?" Aina sat next to him. She wanted to know why all this happened and who made her husband so weak.

"I went to see Marin today." After Goethe finished speaking, he sighed: "I have seen what the future will look like."

Aina was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

Goethe dreamed of the future, and like his daughter, he saw the scenery of the future, the magnificent and desperate scenery: "You must have seen that future, right?"

"Yes, I saw the future without Marin." Goethe said this and looked at Aina: "You knew it earlier, right?"

"Yes, you should have had a conversation with Marin, and I have had a conversation with him, but I didn't dream about all that. I just read what he did back then from our mentor's diary. He and that big man

The child born by the girl, Marin... was born with his hope for this world."

"I'm ashamed, Aina, we are adults, adults much older than Marin, but we all failed. In the end, the world can only be saved by his sacrifice. This shouldn't be done, we... how can we

How can a child like him make sacrifices?" Goethe said this and held his lowered head with both hands: "I also asked them why they wanted to save this damn world. Their answers made me ashamed. I looked at the two

The saint stands at the forefront facing the huge wave of destruction, but I have no power, and I am powerless... Aina, I am such a waste, a waste that can't even protect the happiness of my daughter, a waste that can't even protect the only child of my mentor.

Waste that cannot be protected."

Aina reached out her hand in silence and hugged Goethe.

They, they must refer to Ma Lin and Su Su, the goddess of fate.

From the first time Aina saw the girl, she could feel that she seemed to be missing something. Later, when she saw the blessed, deformed girl, she realized that she was also a small part of the goddess.

It must be some miraculous spell that split her soul. Aina returned to the Eternal Night Island of the elves before. In the big library, Aina found a story. In the story, the goddess of fate regretted that all living beings suffered, so she brought the unknown person from a foreign land.

Summoned.

This is just a very small story, with no process and only a short sentence. Even the oldest library elder found it unbelievable.

But Aina believed it because she didn't understand why the goddess of fate's soul split.

She paid the price for this a long time ago. Because of this, the goddess of fate is moody. Even though she is an external god like the Nameless Doe and does not need faith, she still has problems of this and that, all because of her soul.

Split.

Aina told Goethe all she understood in the way of soul whispers - Goethe had been in contact with her and Marin, and there was no problem of Aina revealing secrets.

When Goethe listened to what Aina said, he nodded: "I also thought of this, but I haven't understood why the goddess's soul was divided. Now that you say this, I completely understand.

... the goddess of destiny may have even been deformed, but her reunion with Marin made her deformation completely fade away. I have also seen her past with him, but that is a secret, I can't tell you."

"I know that there are some things that cannot be said, but dear, since the goddess of fate is with Marin, it can prove that this world still has a chance to be saved. We cannot let Marin's sacrifice lose its meaning. We must fight

Spirit, before he and she can truly save all of this, we must protect this world from being completely contaminated by chaos, and when all this is settled, we must protect this world for this sacrifice."

"What about our daughter?" Goethe looked at Aina and asked.

"You haven't understood yet. From the day she chose to become a duchess, she has already made her choice, let us respect her choice." After Aina finished speaking, she smiled, and gradually, the corners of her eyes also became clear.

teardrop.

"My dear, you asked me not to cry, but you shed tears yourself." Goethe shook his head, he opened his arms and hugged Aina: "Okay, let's take a bath and then eat. I will go to see you tomorrow."

My grandson, I believe this child will be an excellent Duke of Carterburg."

"It's great that you think so." Aina had a smile on her face and stood up: "I'm going to check the water temperature first. You can wake up after drinking this cup of honey water."

………………

Goethe caught the cup. He watched his lover walk into the corridor leading to the bath. After she disappeared around the corner, Goethe lowered his head and looked at the cup in his hand. The honey and water were still somewhat incompatible with each other.
