In the control room, Xia Luote looked at the vice-captain, who was nervously observing the situation nearby. She gently opened the door and walked into the ship. As she walked down the stairs, she looked at the colorful gem in her hand silently.
The tremors of the ship made her feet slightly numb. The roars of the soldiers could be heard even in the cabin. However, these noises did not make Xia Luote excited. On the contrary, it made her feel very depressed.
As the eldest daughter of Sorofia, although Xia Luote had not experienced much bloodshed since she was young, she was not a weak princess. Her powerful extraordinary strength and talent meant that her life would not be peaceful since she was born. However, even so, this battle was still unbearable for her. She was even secretly sad.
Because this was a civil war.
Unlike the terrifying scaly monsters that Luo Ya fought against before, both sides of this battle were humans. They were even Xia Luote's ancestors. Although the girl firmly supported Yisha Beila, even if she won, Xia Luote would not be too happy.
Because in the end, both sides would consume the strength of the humans. The Highland Elves would be greatly weakened in this civil war.
Yisha Beila was very clear about Xia Luote's thoughts. It was better to say that all the people of Sorofia hated this war from the bottom of their hearts. That was why the queen did not let Xia Luote, a girl with extraordinary talent who stayed away from the internal strife of Sorofia, fight on the battlefield. She did not want Xia Luote's hands to be stained with the blood of her own people.
Putting the colorful gem that could form an absolute defense in a critical moment into her pocket, Xia Luote strolled towards the [Egg]. The mission that Yisha Beila gave her was to wait here. Although it was unlikely, if the Golden Fleet lost, then Xia Luote would activate the Eternal Seal Plan and bury the Egg of Disaster in the depths of the sea forever.
Stepping on the frozen ground, Xia Luote suddenly missed the days when she and Luo Ya were in the study of Akat Hill every day. Although those days were boring and there was no progress, now that she thought about it, she felt very fulfilled.
Every morning, Xia Luote would start with a cup of scented tea personally brewed by the young man. She would read the information carefully, eat breakfast under his reminder, and argue noisily about salty and sweet. Although they would occasionally quarrel, Xia Luote was already somewhat used to it. Sometimes, she even found it quite interesting.
After confiscating his potions, he would definitely feel sleepy in the afternoon. As expected, he should take an afternoon nap … No, he probably didn't need it anymore.
At this thought, Xia Luote stopped in her tracks. She looked around and couldn't help but lower her eyes.
Indeed, there was no need.
Luo Ya and Xia Luote. Although the two of them were connected by marriage, in reality, the reason they were together was because of Xia Luote's employment.
The clues of the Sofia Dynasty and the lost technology were Xia Luote's original goals. But now, this goal had obviously been achieved, and even exceeded. At the same time, the relationship between Luo Ya and Xia Luote was also coming to an end.
The goal of cooperation had been achieved, and the annulment of the marriage had been agreed upon. Next, it was time to end the song and disperse.
From now on, their lives would return to their original paths. Luo Ya didn't need to brew tea anymore. He would once again become the young and promising feudal lord. Xia Luote wouldn't complain about the sweetness of the dishes because she didn't need to worry about the other person at the dining table.
Their own brilliance and no longer interacted with each other. This was their ending.
Xia Luote lowered her head and stared blankly at the ice and snow in front of her. Suddenly, she realized something strange. She didn't feel any joy.
No matter if it was getting rid of the marriage or obtaining the lost technology and Bloodline Curse of the Sofia Dynasty, she didn't feel anything in her heart. Instead, she felt miserable for some reason.
He would probably return to the days when he was in love with those girls.
The girl couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. After thinking for a long time, she could only force a smile.
"There's nothing I can do. In his heart, I'm probably just an annoying employer …"
Xia Luote muttered to herself. She couldn't help but feel that her mood was very strange. However, the self-pitying girl didn't notice that while she was lost in her thoughts, a humanoid figure had silently stood up behind her. His body was made of liquid, and most of his facial features were missing. Only his terrifying mouth full of jagged teeth cracked open as if he was silently mocking her.
"If, we can still be together …"
"No, you can't go anywhere."
"Huh?"
A hoarse and ear-piercing reply came from beside her ear. Xia Luote's eyes widened and she suddenly turned around. Sharp claws made of liquid pierced towards the girl's neck. Xia Luote's protective pendant that sensed danger suddenly released a burst of light.
But what the girl didn't expect was that the barrier that could stop a high-level Extraordinaire was actually shattered by the sharp claws. At this critical moment, Xia Luote held the rainbow gem and wanted to build another defense, but it was all too late.
Under the girl's desperate gaze, the sharp claws made of liquid came head-on. With the sound of a blade piercing into flesh, blood and flesh splattered.
Crimson blood flowed down Xia Luote's cheeks. The warm feeling brought with it the warmth of its owner. The girl widened her eyes and stared at the boy who suddenly descended from the sky and protected her in his arms. Her brain was numb and couldn't function.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"I'm fine …"
A low voice sounded beside her ear. Xia Luote responded blankly. She looked at the familiar boy. Her body trembled as she lowered her head to look at the wound on his chest. At the same time, a hoarse and ear-piercing voice sounded.
