The so-called victory party was really a very boring thing.
The two strongest forces of the Abyss that occupied this world had already fallen, and what was left were only some small bosses of the Abyss and minion level magical creatures. The human's Holy Church and the Church of the Goddess of Life had already joined forces. Together with the rapidly developing Esper Warriors, it was only a matter of time before the remnants of the Abyss were purified. Although the dark clouds that had shrouded the entire continent for centuries hadn't completely dissipated, it was enough to let people see the light of hope.
That was why the entire Leyton City was celebrating.
Except for us, the original protagonists.
To hell with our public image! To hell with the prestige of the royal family! To hell with the tons of rules!!!
I also wanted to go out and celebrate. It was a festival in another world, such a rare experience. Did I have to waste my time idling away like a vase that people admired?
After sending away the last batch of hypocritical or sincere nobles, I sighed silently.
The cause of the incident was quite simple. It was nothing more than a few overjoyed messiahs returning in triumph and wanting to participate in the carnival on the streets. In the end, they were dissuaded by some inflexible fellows using the so-called public image and so on. Not only that, they had to stay in the palace to be visited by the nobles — — cough cough, to be worshipped …
Thinking back to the scene of a white-bearded old man named Mellon tearfully blocking in front of Alaya to stop his angel sister from playing on the streets, I felt my heart twitch again.
"Ah Jun, I want to go out and play …" Shallow Shallow bitterly nestled in my embrace as she frantically pinched me. In the end, she stood up and rushed to the door.
"Wait a moment, I will pause the time of the entire Royal City. After that, we can go out and play."
Shallow Shallow nodded her head vigorously as though she was stating a fact.
What I want to say is, baby, you will experience a tragedy.
Under our stupefied gazes, Shallow Shallow activated her ability and instantly changed her personality.
"Participating in such boring entertainment activities is a complete waste of time!"
Dark Shallow Shallow said coolly.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. It seemed that Dark Shallow Shallow and the normal Shallow Shallow had quite a difference in personal preferences.
"Ugh … Ah Jun, I'm so bored. The other me is even more stubborn than Mellon!"
Shallow Shallow grumbled as she rolled around on the luxurious mattress in the middle of the room, as if she was determined to destroy the last bit of the 'Schilling Royal Dignity'.
At this moment, the door to the living room opened. Alaya walked in with a holy halo around him and a healing smile that never changed.
Then he flopped down in front of us.
No one's expression changed. To Alaya, this was a very sad thing.
Alaya, who was used to getting beaten up, didn't look embarrassed at all. She stood up clumsily and patted her skirt. Then, she habitually sat on the ground next to me and placed one of her enormous wings on my leg.
When did I become this girl's personal masseur?
I thought as I helped the angel sister comb her feathers. But then again, they were angel wings after all. Heh, this feeling …
"Big Sister Sandora still isn't willing to come out?"
Shallow Shallow, who was rolling around on the ground, stood up immediately. She looked warily at Alaya to see if she had placed any part of her other than her wings on my body.
This was the second reason why we were still here, other than Mellon's obstruction. Ever since we returned, Sandora had locked herself in her room and refused to come out no matter what.
The elder sister looked worriedly in the direction of Sandora's room. "She is a girl after all. It would be impossible for her to not mind if she was seen with her inhuman appearance. Even with Sandora's personality, she isn't an exception."
"It can't be …" I replied. "The first time we met, she even took the initiative to let me see her abyssal form. I thought that with her personality, she wouldn't care about such things. Why did she suddenly change into a different person …"
"That's why I am very suspicious. How did Shallow Shallow fall for a piece of wood like you in the first place …" Lin Xue retorted sharply.
"That's right. How did I see this piece of wood …" Shallow Shallow tacitly responded with a two-hit combo.
"Big brother is — — a piece of wood?" Pandora paused her stare with Little Bubble and dealt a magnificent three-hit combo with her finishing blow. In an instant, I was defeated.
"Alright, alright. I'm not an idiot …" In the end, I raised my hands helplessly in surrender. "I'll go talk to her."
Shallow Shallow walked over quickly and pulled Alaya, who was still confused about the situation, up. At the same time, she looked at me with a complicated expression. In the end, she bared her teeth at me and walked away.
Sandora's situation was too easy to understand. It was just that we didn't find it appropriate to say it out loud. There was no other reason other than that Sandora felt that I had seen her monstrous appearance and she felt ashamed to face anyone else.
If it was the original Sandora, she probably wouldn't have such a thought. But now, even Shallow Shallow had no choice but to accept the fact that Sandora had fallen in love with me, and I was unable to avoid this feeling either.
Even if I loved Shallow Shallow and this feeling was absolutely genuine, I couldn't lie to myself about the feelings I had for Sandora. Perhaps at the very beginning, it was a feeling of closeness due to the connection of our souls. But now, I had to face the fact that I really couldn't let go of this girl with a … unique personality.
How big of an impact would it be for me to turn into an ugly monster in front of the person I loved? Especially for a beautiful girl like me, this was something unacceptable.
Sandora's door wasn't locked. I pushed it open and entered, only to find that it was completely dark inside.
It was already night time, but Sandora didn't light up any lamps. The only source of light in the room was the lights from the gathering hall outside. The flickering light shone through the gaps between the thick curtains and into the room, turning the originally gorgeous and exquisite decorations into ugly and strange monsters, casting distorted and blurry shadows on the floor.
I couldn't see Sandora's figure, but I could clearly sense her location through telepathy. She was in a corner of the room, tightly curled up into a ball.
I really didn't expect that the famous Empress Schilling would have such a moment. If this were to spread out, it would probably cause a stir among half of the intelligent species in the universe.
Then, is this the fourth personality of Queen Sandora, Vitality Sandora, and Berserk Sandora?
I let my imagination run wild to cover up my bewilderment as I walked to her side.
Sandora had already sensed that I had entered the room. At that moment, she didn't even lift her head and maintained her posture. She said softly, "Monster, right?"
So that was what she was really worried about. She was worried that she was merely a monster in my eyes. She had been worried about this all along. After leaving her life of war, she felt that she didn't fit in with a normal girl. Thus, she tried her best to imitate Shallow Shallow and her sister, to learn how a normal human girl lived their lives. But today, she felt that all her hard work had gone to waste. A monster that was neither human nor ghost had to imitate the actions of a girl … He must have found it hilarious, right?
I have to say, when a woman is in love, regardless of the race, their intelligence would plummet …
"Alright, monster," I shrugged. In the dark, I could clearly feel Sandora's body trembling violently. A piercing pain that she was trying hard to suppress came through the mental connection. However, the feeling disappeared in the next second.
Because Sandora was already in my arms.
As expected, I would feel heartache too.
Sandora seemed to want to struggle, but in the end, she calmed down and enjoyed a peace and happiness that she had never felt before.
"Didn't you say … monster …" Sandora said softly.
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Yeah, so what? You said it yourself — — but it doesn't mean anything to me at all. A human and a worm can be together, so what are you worried about? "
"A worm?"
"Mm, she has a younger sister called Xiao Qing …"
