Although Tabasa really wanted to kill her way to the palace to avenge her father, she had to give up the idea for the time being. After all, she still needed to take care of her mother, and …
"It's easy to kill that bastard. What then?"
Said the red ponytail as she nibbled on a biscuit.
"The target of your revenge is the king, right? If you kill him, there will be no king in this country. Do you want to be king?"
"This …"
Tabasa did not know how to answer the red ponytail. To be honest, she had never thought of becoming a king, but as the red ponytail said, it was indeed a problem.
"Charlotte, I think it's your duty."
At that moment, Tabasa's mother spoke.
"You are the legitimate heir of the royal family. That despicable bastard assassinated your father and took away the throne. It's time for us to take it back."
"But … … Mother, I … …"
Tabasa frowned. He looked at his mother, then at the red ponytail. The latter shrugged.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to be king. You can let your sister be king."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Tabasa was stunned.
"Do I have a sister?"
"Yes, she's your biological sister. Don't you know?"
"I don't know … Mother?!"
Tabasa looked at his mother in surprise. After his father died, Tabasa had always thought that he and his mother were the only two people left in the world. How did she know he had a sister?! What was going on? Why didn't his mother tell him?!
"…"
Faced with Tabasa's gaze, his mother lowered her head awkwardly, then nodded.
"Yes, Tabasa, you do have a sister."
"But why haven't I seen her before?!"
After getting confirmation from his mother, Tabasa could no longer hold it in.
"I should have executed your sister, but I couldn't bear to let her die like this, so I sent her somewhere else …"
"Why must you execute my sister?"
"Because the Gaul royal family once had an internal strife between twins, so as a rule …"
"Haha, isn't it the same now?"
Before Tabasa's mother could finish her words, Red Ponytail sneered. Tabasa's mother lowered her head, not knowing what to say. Indeed, as Red Ponytail said, this rule was useless. Didn't the current king kill his brother to ascend the throne?
"The person who made the rules must be a retard, or else he wouldn't have come up with such a stupid method … Forget it, I'll go take a look first. Now then, Tabasa, I'll leave this place to you. Enjoy yourself with your mother. As for the King … it's just a matter of hacking him to death. We can go whenever we want, no problem, right? "
"Of course. Erm … Sir Oracle?"
"Hmm?"
"I want to bring my mother to Torristine immediately. It's hard to say, but if we stay here, we might be discovered by the king's spies …"
"No problem. You can go to Angelietta and tell her that I agree."
Red Ponytail, of course, had no objection. Torristine was still safer than Gaul at the moment. If the king found out that Tabasa's mother had regained her sanity, who knew what he would do? Although Tabasa should have enough power to deal with that guy, it was easier to dodge a spear in the open than an arrow in the dark. It was better to send his mother to a safe place first, then reunite with his sister. It would not be too late to think about the next step after that.
It was another night.
A nun with long silver hair stood quietly on the edge of a cliff, looking at the sea under the moonlight. Her eyes were calm, but also a little bored.
Life in the monastery was quiet and peaceful. It was everything for the girl who had lived here since she was born.
But … what was it like outside?
"Are you Josette?"
However, at this moment, a sweet and lively voice that sounded like a lark suddenly sounded, startling the white-haired girl. She turned around and was surprised to see a girl who looked even younger than her. She had a pair of ponytails that resembled flames and sat on the wall not far away, looking at her with a grin.
"Who are you? Be careful! It's dangerous! Come down! "
Although Josette was puzzled about who the girl in front of him was, he was more concerned about the fact that she was sitting on a high wall at the moment. The wall was very high. Someone once fell down and got hurt because he was naughty. This girl looked even younger than him. If she accidentally fell and got hurt …
"Ah, don't be so nervous."
Upon hearing Josette's shout, the red-haired twintailed young lady giggled and leaped down from the high wall. Before Josette could scream, she landed firmly on the ground.
"Are … are you okay?"
"This height is nothing to me. But let's go back to the previous question. Are you Josette?"
"Yes."
Josette nodded when he heard the red-haired girl's question.
"Who are you, little girl? You're not from the monastery, are you … And you don't look like someone who wants to join a monastery. "
"This kind of place is too quiet for me."
The girl waved her hand.
"I'm the emissary of the Goddess of Magical Girls, the righteous Red Ponytail. Just call me Xiao Hong."
"Are you the emissary of the Goddess of Magical Girls?"
Hearing this, Josette's eyes lit up, while the red-haired girl giggled.
"I'm the emissary of the Goddess of Magical Girls. Strictly speaking, I have nothing to do with the great ancestor you believe in."
"Is … is that so …?"
Josette was a little confused when he heard the answer from the red-haired girl.
"Can't you understand something too complicated? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. In short, I'm here to pick you up. "
"Pick me up …?"
"Yes. Do you want to leave this place? Go back to your home? "
"My home … Sister Xiao Hong, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Yeah …."
The red-haired girl nodded when she heard Josette's confused answer.
"If someone suddenly appeared in front of me and said that, I would also suspect that I've encountered a kidnapper."
"Kidnapper … What's that?"
"Uh … It's a little inappropriate to explain. Forget it."
The red-haired girl waved her hand and came to Josette's side.
"Then, let's have a chat first … You don't mind, right?"
"Chat?"
"Yes, you grew up here, right? Tell me about the life in the monastery, and in exchange, I can tell you something you want to know."
"Really?"
Josette couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Can you tell me about the outside world?"
"… I thought you'd want to ask about your past … Forget it, it doesn't matter. Of course you can."
"Then … let me tell you first. Our daily life in the monastery is very regular …."
Josette quickly told the red-haired girl about his life in the monastery. To be honest, in the eyes of outsiders, being sent to an isolated monastery after birth and living this kind of life all the time seemed cruel. But in fact, for those involved, although this kind of life was ordinary, there was nothing bad about it. Except for the fact that they could not leave the monastery and go to the outside world, everything else was very peaceful.
Of course, the children who had been here since birth were relatively lively, because they did not understand why they were here — or rather, they did not even have the concept of why they were here. As for the "nuns from the outside world" (in Josette's words), many of them had bitter and hateful faces, as if they were carrying the misfortune of the world on their backs.
She really did not know which side was happier.
Looking at Josette, who spoke with confidence, the red-haired girl sighed in her heart. According to "common sense", Josette, who was forced to live alone in the monastery after being separated from his sister and mother, was naturally pitiful.
But looking at the reality, Tabasa had lost his father, then witnessed his mother drink poisoned wine and lose her mind. For the next few years, he had no choice but to fight for the enemy who killed his father to protect his mother …. At least, the current Tabasa could not possibly smile as innocently as Josette.
So, Josette had actually profited from his misfortune …?
"So, Xiao Hong, it's your turn. What's the outside world like?"
"The outside world … The outside world is very big …."
Hearing Josette's curious question, the red-haired girl giggled and turned on her personal terminal.
"Come, I'll show you something good …."
In the next few days, the red-haired girl went to see Josette every night. She listened to Josette talk about life in the monastery, and then told him about what was happening in the outside world, not only in this world, but also in other worlds, all kinds of different worlds. Josette listened very attentively.
But after that, the red-haired girl never mentioned taking Josette away again. Although Tabasa was a little puzzled about it, she did not ask much. In her opinion, the Oracle must have her own ideas.
A few days later, the red-haired girl suddenly received an invitation from Angelietta. When she entered the palace, she was surprised to find that not only Angelietta and Louise, but the Grand Council and Tabasa were also there.
"What's wrong? Look at your expressions. Did you guys not have lunch? "
"You're finally here, Lord Oracle."
Seeing the appearance of the red ponytail, Angelietta let out a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to the Grand Council.
"Sir Oracle, in fact, just this morning, we received a letter from the envoy of the King of Gaul."
"Oh, go on."
Red Ponytail nodded and didn't say much. The Grand Council took out the letter and continued speaking.
"In the letter, His Majesty claimed that we sheltered the rebels and demanded that we immediately return the rebels to Gaul. Otherwise, Gaul will use this as an excuse to wage war against us."
"Oh, the king is quite free."
The red ponytail was still calm, but Louise couldn't stay calm.
"Wait, that's it? This was war! Aren't you worried? "
"They're not deliberately mystifying us. In fact, we've indeed received intelligence that 70,000 Gaul troops are gathering at our border. We don't know what the king will do."
"Logically speaking, shouldn't I say 'If he wants to fight, then let's fight'? That would be more domineering? But … "
The red ponytail narrowed her eyes and looked at the Grand Council and Angelietta.
"You don't want to fight, right?"
"Yes, Sir Oracle."
Angelietta nodded.
"To tell you the truth, I deeply sympathize with Miss Tabasa's experience, but … as a queen, I must protect my own country. There's no need to talk about what happened in Albion, but the domestic reform has just begun, and Albion's territory hasn't fully stabilized yet. If we start a war at this time, I'm afraid it won't be good. "
"Well, that's understandable."
Red Ponytail nodded.
"Then let's solve this matter in the way of a magical girl."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"The … way of a magical girl?"
"That's right."
Red Ponytail nodded and stretched out her hand.
"Okay, let's sort things out. The purpose of the king is to harm Tabasa and her mother, right?"
"Yes."
Angelietta was not a fool. She naturally understood that the other party didn't come with good intentions. They even used the crime of traitor, so the outcome was obvious.
"So, Tabasa, you're a magical girl now, right?"
"… Yes."
Tabasa nodded.
"Do you think you can beat an army of 70,000?"
"…"
Tabasa shook her head. Although she had tested her strength after becoming a magical girl, Tabasa was not arrogant enough to think that she could fight against an army of 70,000.
"So, the king is trying to bully us."
Red Ponytail snorted and slammed the table.
"He's trying to bully us magical girls! How can we tolerate this? Of course not! MMP！ Tabasa is now a magical girl. She's under the protection of the God of Magical Girls. She's under the protection of our Lord. How dare a mere mortal attack a magical girl under the protection of our Lord? You're not giving me face, you're not giving the Lord any face, and you're not giving any magical girls any face! If I don't beat you up today, you won't know why the flowers are red! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Sir Oracle, you … you mean … we're going to war with Gaul?"
Angelietta asked anxiously. Red Ponytail rolled her eyes.
"What war?"
"Huh?"
"They came to mess with us magical girls, so we're going to fight back. This isn't a war, it's a fight!"
Having said that, Red Ponytail stood up.
"Let's go, Tabasa, Angelietta. Forget about Gaul and Torristine. This is a matter between us magical girls and the king of Gaul. I'll take you to beat up the 70,000 soldiers!"
