Lolo probably didn't expect to welcome her seventeenth birthday in such a way.
Not long ago, she was brought to a ball that she didn't want to attend in a daze. She wore a borrowed dress and stood in a crowd of strangers. Compared to the people around her, she looked so out of place. Everyone was secretly looking at her. That feeling made her involuntarily recall the days after her father left.
In those dark days, the Bretton castle was filled with unfamiliar faces from the temple. No matter where she went, she could feel the cold gazes from behind. The ubiquitous spying and whispering filled every corner of the castle. It was obviously not a pleasant memory.
All she could do was to hold her head high and make herself indestructible. She wouldn't be easily knocked down by those malicious gazes. But for a brief moment after the lights went out, she stood alone in the endless darkness. She couldn't help but feel a trace of exhaustion.
So the next moment, the light fell, and that person suddenly appeared in front of her in an unexpected way. He was like a hero that only appeared in knight novels. After trekking through mountains and rivers, he finally arrived in front of the castle where the evil dragon resided.
He beat away the two guards left by the evil dragon with a few punches and two kicks. After that, he climbed into her room along the hanging vines from the balcony, and gently invited her to join him in an escape that only belonged to the two of them.
After that, everything suddenly became meaningful.
It turned out that tonight, she sat alone on the empty tower, and spent the long night with the crows, all just to wait for this fated escape.
The next moment, that person took her hand and winked at her. "It's about to start."
Naturally, Lolo wouldn't believe that person's nonsense about the superpower losing its effect soon. But she couldn't refuse what was about to happen next.
Perhaps every girl had a little demon in their heart. From the moment they were born, they had been constantly fighting with this little demon, defeating it again and again. In return, the girls obediently wore long dresses, combed their hair, learned to smile gently, and carefully played the various roles that life gave them.
So the little demon's voice became softer and softer, as if it had disappeared. But it didn't really leave. It just hid somewhere in your heart, and when the sky fell and the earth split, it would jump out again.
Bewitching you, making you forget the so-called sophistication and maturity, throwing away the grace and restraint that you painstakingly accumulated for more than a decade, and yelling loudly, "I'm your mother!" Then, with a suave turn, and plunged into an earth-shattering escape with your beloved.
In the next moment, the girl took off her high heels and dashed towards the door with the young man under the stupefied gazes of the Student Union members. Her billowing skirt was like a black bolt of lightning, tearing through the silent night sky. Just like that, the two of them dashed out of the auditorium hand in hand, leaving behind a flabbergasted crowd that stood rooted to the ground.
Everything happened so fast that most people didn't even have time to react. In the blink of an eye, they lost sight of the two figures.
They passed through the door, leaped over the red carpet, and sprinted with all their might on the moonlit path. At first, it was just to prevent people from chasing after them. But gradually, Lolo forgot the original purpose and simply enjoyed the thrill of running as fast as lightning. Faster, faster, and leave the whole world behind!
If a person could run fast enough, perhaps he could leave all the sadness behind him.
The surrounding trees and courtyard walls flashed past in front of her. At this moment, Lolo even forgot the huge shadow that had always been pressing on her heart, and the responsibilities that she carried. All she could hear was the sound of the wind whistling past her ears, and the sound of each other's breathing. It was as if they had really won against the whole world.
Lolo's heart was beating wildly, and the air was squeezed out of her chest. She had never felt such a clear sense of her own existence before. It was not as the daughter of the Scarlet Sword and Eluria, nor as the head of the Bretton family, nor as an avenger. At least for tonight, at this moment, she did not need to play any other role in this escape. She only needed to be herself, the little girl in her heart, Hartfilia.
They ran all the way to the door of Lolo's dormitory before slowing down. Rob had not yet become a Grade 1 swordsman, and there was still a gap between him and the girl in terms of physique, especially after such a long run. Lolo's breathing was uneven, and there was some sweat on the tip of her nose, but he was already panting heavily with his hands on his knees.
The boy leaned against the door and adjusted his breathing. When the girl came out of the dormitory after changing her clothes, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor seemed to have recovered some of his strength. He took out a bracelet from his pocket and handed it over. "Oh, I almost forgot. This is your birthday present."
"Eh? What is this? "
Lolo took the bracelet. Although it looked a little crude, the girl's eyes were immediately attracted to it, especially the light purple amber in the middle. Lolo could even faintly feel a faint magical wave coming from it. The material used to weave the bracelet was very unique, and she had never seen it before. It was soft and elastic to the touch, and it felt cool against her skin.
"I got this little thing from a friend. It's said that wearing it can increase the efficiency of meditation. Unfortunately, I'm not a Magus, so it's useless for me to keep it." Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, said casually.
The girl was skeptical. After becoming a Magus, she was no longer a layman who knew nothing about magic. Items that could increase the efficiency of meditation were rare and expensive. No matter how she looked at it, this bracelet was not as simple as what Roland had said. Furthermore, there was the strength that he had displayed tonight.
Luo Luo had never seen such an incredible thing before. Furthermore, Robb seemed to be able to defeat two powerful Magicians with the body of an ordinary person. Furthermore, one of them was even the Vice President of the Student Union. Luo Luo had never seen such an incredible thing. Robb seemed to be at ease from the beginning to the end, and he even arrogantly took away Caesar's hat in the end. So how did he manage to do all this?
"Hmm, maybe it's because I'm more talented in swordsmanship," Roland explained.
The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes. However, Lolo already knew that this guy was hiding some secrets. In fact, the more time she spent with Roland, the more suspicious she found about this Mr. Guardian Knight. Obviously, Roland was not just a young scholar who was studying abroad as he claimed to be. This guy always had a mysterious aura about him. It wasn't that Lolo didn't suspect Rob. Why did this guy happen to appear by her side every time she needed help?
However, in the next moment, this guy would personally refute her suspicions. For example, just now, the girl almost thought that he was a master who hid his strength well, but as soon as he started running, he exposed himself again. The way he was panting while leaning against the wall was obviously not an act. God knew how this guy defeated a Grade 2 and a Grade 3 Magus with such a weak body.
However, one of Lolo's strengths was that she wouldn't be entangled in a problem that she couldn't figure out. Anyway, as long as she knew that Rob would never hurt her, that was enough. After that, she turned to the young man and asked, "Where are we going next?"
