Luo Luo rushed into the house and washed her face. The origin power in her body had been depleted after a busy morning, so she went home to grab some tools to fix the leaking roof for the new townsfolk who had just settled down. However, she saw a certain someone reading a letter by the window. Luo Bu noticed that the girl had quietly put the letter away after entering the house.
"Is that a letter from President D 'Idarion?" Lolo stopped in her tracks.
"I'm sorry." Rob sounded apologetic. "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I should be the one apologizing." The girl wasn't angry. She put down the towel in her hand, walked up to Roland, and hugged him. "Am I that unsettling to you?"
Rob touched her hand and shook his head. "Since I've made a decision, I won't change it. I just don't want you to worry."
"But the world is changing." Lolo leaned her head on Roland's back and moved to a more comfortable position. "You predicted that the final crisis would happen in a few hundred years based on the development of human civilization. But now, it seems that the enemy has already made their move."
Rob frowned. "I'm not sure yet. The situation now is grim, but it's not that bad."
"I may have more say in this matter than you do." Luo Luo said, "What happened to me has made me never afraid to speculate about those guys with the greatest malice. You're right. They look down on us and fear us at the same time. On the one hand, they need to collect faith from us, but on the other hand, what happened to the four-eyed man tens of thousands of years ago has proved that they can still survive even without faith. So, once they sense danger, even if it's the slightest, they may take the most extreme measures."
The girl paused for a moment. "I'm sure you're well aware of this."
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, didn't say a word.
Lolo continued, "If that day really comes and the entire human race no longer exists, then we won't be spared either."
After a long while, Rob finally spoke with a bitter smile. "There's another possibility. Those fellows are using this method to force us to show ourselves. Because that amulet made them lose track of you, they had no choice but to use this method."
This time, it was Lolo's turn to be silent. After a while, she spoke again, "I've been with the refugees for the past few days, and I've met a little girl named Emily. She had a happy family. Her father was a guard, and her mother owned a dyeing house in the city. But after the incident, the city was in chaos. Her father was stabbed to death with a broken spear, and the dyeing house was destroyed. While they were fleeing, her six-year-old brother was kidnapped.
"It's not your fault."
"You're right. But we've been dragged into it, haven't we?" Lolo said. "Rob Edward Richard Holstein Rex, we're different. After so many things have happened, I sometimes feel disappointed in this world. But you're different. This world has always been good to you, so deep in your heart, you've always loved this world. Perhaps you haven't realized it, but as the person who loves you the most in this world, I can feel the gentleness hidden deep in your heart. You've always asked me why I can still be kind even after knowing the truth. I think it's all because of you. Because you still love humanity, as your wife, I want to work hard to love the world you love."
Lolo paused and looked up. "I love being with you. The past four years in Nyx have been the happiest time of my life. Everyone says that love will fade with time, and passion will be worn away by daily chores. But every day during these four years, I love you more than the day before. Because of this, I don't want you to be bound by love. My story has ended, but yours has just begun."

Williams was in a bad mood because that stupid new patron saint of the humans had suddenly run away halfway through the visit, putting a lot of pressure on the Lionheart Empire. Everyone was in a state of panic, and there were all kinds of speculations about the reason for Painter's departure. It was in this context that someone dug up the scene that happened on the street not long ago.
Thus, the small conflict between His Highness the Third Prince and Painter (in Williams' language) reached the ears of Reinhardt VII.
The emperor was furious. Coupled with the third prince's notorious criminal record, Lionheart VII finally made up his mind to teach his son, who had always been giving him a headache, a lesson. So, Williams was assigned to a tough job. He had to represent the royal family to visit the western border of the empire and pay his respects to the soldiers there.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was Lionheart VII's way of expressing his dissatisfaction. He sent the third prince away in disguise, and this visit would take at least two years. Williams would probably have to eat a lot of dirt in the west, but this was also a form of protection for him. At the very least, he would not be targeted by Painter anymore. It was just that at that time, Lionheart VII probably did not expect that Painter would become so despondent after seeing Rob. Not to mention Williams, he was not even interested in doing his favorite things, such as gathering supporters everywhere and waiting to take over Da Vinci's position as president. He locked himself in the tower all day and all night, constantly recalling the brief encounter. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
During this period, Steins and Demain came once to try to calm his emotions, but to no avail. On the contrary, Painter began to be paranoid. He even felt that the two of them had specially come to mock him. In addition, other members of the council also came to visit him. On the contrary, Da Vinci, who had always supported him, had a very strange attitude this time. He did not say anything, nor did he come to visit his proud disciple. This caused Painter's depression to worsen.
