Happy times would always be short, while difficult times would always seem abnormally long.
That was because when one was happy, one would be completely focused on one's work and wouldn't care about the passage of time. But when one encountered something difficult to deal with, one would often count the seconds and hope that it would pass quickly.
Busy working was somewhere in between. It wasn't the type where one would be so happy that one would forget the passage of time, but it could still force one to fully focus on one's work. A long time passed in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. It was spring again, and the flowers were blooming. It also meant that a new year had begun.
"I'm sorry that I didn't go to New Year's, but I can't leave. No, the Guild is still waiting for news, and I don't have much hope. It's that 'tower', and I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave that dimension for long before I finish devouring it."
Since Rorschach didn't have a home to visit during New Year's, his younger sister and Su Nanna, who had already returned to Saul, complained to him.
However, he didn't feel lonely during New Year's.
Several of the Seven Virtues' older sisters came over to stay for a while. Just like in previous years, they even brought greetings and gifts from their adoptive mothers, which made Rorschach feel a bit like New Year's.
However, the Virtues were all busy individuals, and they were also highly dangerous targets that all the major countries had to pay attention to. They had to leave after staying for a few days.
Rorschach didn't complain. After all, Saul had been too far away from the Forest of Dreams, and it was already quite difficult for the Virtues to take turns sending one of them over. Now that it was New Year's, Rorschach was quite touched.
At the same time, Rorschach's cultivation and his dream world were all carefully supervised by the strict older sisters.
It was quite difficult, but he also gained quite a lot.
However, he was still quite a distance away from reaching the true Level 7. After all, this step was the difference between an ordinary person and an undying person. Rorschach was also challenging an incredibly difficult step, so he still needed quite a bit of time to polish himself.
"I seem to have forgotten someone? It doesn't matter. "
On New Year's Eve, something rather strange happened.
A girl came to visit Rorschach. She said that she needed to pay compensation for her child's death. Cough, cough. She said that she was Rorschach's wife and investor, and that she needed to see his annual sales report and ask for a share of his annual profits.
This was obviously impossible. Rorschach spent all of his earnings on his dream world and his own research, so how could there be a share of profits? However, this girl's identity as an investor.....................................
"Sayyara, have you changed your mind? ........ ..................................
.................................... with.....................................

...........................
"I'm not going. I've been chased out."
..... If it weren't for the fact that Rorschach had some basic skills as a ranger, he wouldn't have been able to hear her soft voice.
Actually, if he thought about it for a moment, this was to be expected. Seviala had been chased out of the royal family in a half-banished, half-political marriage. In the eyes of many, she was no longer considered a member of the royal family.
If she had obediently married far away and gone to the "land of exile" to start a new life far away, he would have been able to pick her up at the end of the year, festivals, and so on. He would have been able to continue the relationship between brother and sister and father and daughter, and he would have been able to have happy family gatherings.
However, not only did she not go far away, she was even squatting in the capital of a superpower country that was only one strait away. She often met with her own country's merchants and international students, creating the image of a government-in-exile. How could anyone be at ease?
As far as Rorschach knew, his worries were not unfounded.
Seviala hadn't given up on her plans and the throne at all. He had heard about all the messy things she had done through unorthodox means. How could Seviala's brothers and sisters, who had been keeping an eye on her, relax?
She probably knew that she would be refused entry, but she didn't expect her father to be so heartless.
Alright, don't ask anything. As a man, open the door obediently.
However, Seviala was also an excessively strong-willed girl. She only stayed for a night and half a day. Her hours of depression could be counted on one's fingers, and she ran out again to do what she was supposed to do.
What made Rorschach feel very strange was that this girl had specially come over. She definitely wasn't here to complain to her fiancé, who she couldn't talk to at all, but to Isabella.
When the princess was depressed, it was Isabella who accompanied her the whole time. Only then did Rorschach realize that their relationship had unknowingly become so good.
Rorschach's expression became even more strange when he thought about Isabella's past bad habits and rumors.
Luckily, Seviala left the next day. That night, there weren't any strange noises in the room they were in. Rorschach insisted that he hadn't intentionally used the mage tower's underground roots to eavesdrop on them. Yep, he hadn't intentionally gone there.
However, Rorschach found out about Seviala's current situation through an unknown channel. She still hadn't given up on her plans to develop an underwater city. However, since she couldn't do it with her own resources and resources, she had set her sights on the Mage Country's resources.
Over the past few days, she had been going around making proposals and soliciting investments. She was incredibly busy. She only rested for a few days before she went out again to swindle investors.
However, how could Rorschach possibly know about her investment budget from an unknown channel? Forget about it. It was basically the total annual output of an average country. No matter how wealthy the Mage Country's magic societies were, they wouldn't be able to take out such an investment without sufficient reasons.
As far as Rorschach knew, developing an underwater city could bring about endless wealth and land resources. It could make a country rich and increase the happiness of its citizens. However, this had nothing to do with archmages.
According to Rorschach's understanding of archmages, they would rather invest their money in the seemingly impossible Water Elemental Plane's surveillance and exploration than invest it in a project that would cost so much and take so long that the end result would only be money.
From Rorschach's perspective, Seviala's departure also made him heave a sigh of relief. He really didn't know how to face his fiancée in name, especially since he already viewed her as his wife for the most part.
Especially after discovering that Isabella and Seviala had become best friends, Rorschach began to wonder just what he was in Isabella's heart.
"You're her boyfriend. You're also a part-time model, a game booster, an expert at making money, a good friend's younger brother, and possibly a future superior. Perhaps even a future ruler that you'll serve in the future. Everyone has to die eventually. You're courting death like this, so it's highly likely that you'll die quickly."
As always, Rorschach couldn't hold back his words. Her answer surprised Rorschach at first, but then he could only helplessly smile wryly.
Although Roxia and his girlfriend, Isabella, had been chatting with each other all this time and had plenty of opportunities to interact with each other, the relationship between Roxia and his girlfriend, Isabella, was still as mysterious as ever.
She didn't have to go to Ansorenne to do missions. Most of the time, Isabella became even more of a homebody. Day and night were completely reversed, and it was almost impossible to see her for half a day.
The only difference from the past was that this was, after all, Isabella's former hometown. There were quite a lot of acquaintances here. Sometimes, she had no choice but to go out and meet her old friends and have a few drinks.
On the other hand, since spring wasn't far away, the new work plans for the year were about to begin.
There was finally news of large-scale illegal immigration into Ansorenne, but it wasn't good news.
