It has just passed in the middle of winter, and the sky above the capital city of Lunza is still dense, but now it is snowing again.

On the terrace of Sauron Castle, Elizabeth leaned against the railing, taking a sip of a cup of cooled black tea, tasting the slightly astringent taste, and looked at the city cluster shrouded in snow in the distance, her eyes slightly

I'm confused, I don't know what I'm thinking about, or I'm hesitantly waiting for something.

I don't know how long it took, but this quiet scene was broken by a burst of slow footsteps.

The tea in Elizabeth's hand trembled slightly, creating a circle of ripples, just like the fluctuations in her inner lake.

But she didn't look back and said coldly: "Are you finally willing to come back to see me?"

"You gave up your family wealth and gave up the power and position you were once so passionate about, just to lure me to see you, mother." Alsalia, who put on a long palace dress, stopped in front of the terrace and said calmly.

"You really think highly of yourself."

"Only when you face yourself can you reflect on yourself and see through other things in the world."

"Then what have you reflected on over the years?" Elizabeth asked with her eyes slightly lowered.

"I just feel that what happened back then, whether you were tough or simply retreated, your choices were too hesitant and weak, unlike you during the Silver Cross War, so I should work for your mistakes and make some amends. Now

, I barely managed it, so I came back." Elizabeth laughed angrily, "You call this introspection? Are you still expressing your dissatisfaction with me?"

"There is no better mother than a daughter. I have inherited almost all your strengths and weaknesses. It is like a mirror. Every time I reflect on myself, my daughter can't help but think of you. She can't help but feel dissatisfied. My daughter doesn't dare."

Elizabeth raised her increasingly thin chin and sneered: "I can't compare to you, in the eyes of the world. You have saved the entire federation now, maybe it won't be long. When people talk about Elizabeth, they will only think of you."

"It's just a false name. You know, I'm not interested in these things."

"Yes! I am a woman who is greedy for power. In order to seize this power, I would not hesitate to start a war. In order to protect this right, I watched my husband die in front of my eyes. But I was indifferent! Did you return to the Federation just to watch my jokes?

?If this is the case, then give it to me..."

Elizabeth's voice became a little sharp, but before the last word 'get out' was uttered, she was suddenly interrupted by a hug from behind.

"sorry."

Elizabeth's eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

She just felt that some of this apology was not true. In her impression, this rebellious and strong eldest daughter who looked very much like her had never lowered her head to anyone. "I'm sorry, Mom." After a pause, Liya pressed her cheek

Leaning against Elizabeth's somewhat cold back, she choked and said: "I am too naive. Over the years, I have been wandering in the Federation. Wandering in the Empire, I have walked many roads, seen a lot of warmth and coldness in the world, and want to understand many things in the past.

Things I haven’t understood yet, dad’s death, you were at fault, but it wasn’t all your fault. I... was also at fault. When you needed comfort the most, I blindly avoided blaming you. I left you and your young child behind.

My sister has been gone for so many years. I...I'm sorry for you."

Listening to these words, Elizabeth suddenly pursed her lips and laughed. But her tears couldn't stop falling, falling on the poplar railing beside her and on the back of the mother and daughter's hands intertwined.

She wanted to say something, but in the end all her emotions were summed up in one sentence. She patted her daughter's hand, "It's good to come back... It's good to come back... It's all over... Your father won't blame you."

He has always been so gentle and humble to everyone. If he was really wrong, we should not have met..."

"Tell me about your story..." Liya put her chin on her mother's shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"Is it about us?" Elizabeth looked reminiscing and sighed: "That's just a pale and simple story, okay... we have to start from when we were studying..."

Looking at the terrace, the sisters and mothers, who were originally proud of each other but had been separated for seventeen years because of their father's death, finally understood each other and got back together. Isa, who had been watching this scene from behind the curtain, showed a happy expression.

smile.

She put a letter under the vase on the dining table, carried a small travel bag, and walked out of the passage. The Royal Round Table knights who were guarding or waiting on both sides of the passage followed her in turn.

superior.

If Shi Chen were here, he would definitely see many familiar faces, such as Nolan, Rojat, Gavin and Faith, these knights who had entanglements with Titan back then.

"Your Highness, why don't you leave without saying goodbye in person?"

"They have been separated for more than ten years. They must have a lot to say, so I won't bother them. Besides, they are just going to the empire to negotiate, unlike my troubled sister." Isa said with a smile.

"What about Shi Chen?" Nolan showed a sly smile, and even Gina looked over curiously.

Isa's face turned red, she pursed her lips and asked, "Is he still living in that villa in Youyin District?"

"He mortgaged that house to a private bank, and he borrowed some money to buy a shop in the block opposite Yuechi University to make a living." Nolan said angrily.

"Then where does he live now?" Isa was slightly stunned, and then asked with concern.

"I moved to the villa opposite his house, but I spend most of my time in the store. At night I go to Yuechi to attend night school. It's quite embarrassing for an officer who retired early to mix like this."

But Isa's focus was obviously not on this. She thought of something and suddenly exclaimed: "He and Ye Mengqi are living together illegally!?" Then she quickly covered her mouth.

But it still attracted sidelong glances from the knights behind him.

Nolan sighed, looked at the Second Princess with some pity, and nodded.

"No! Where is he now? I want to see him." Isa pursed her lips and clenched her fists as big as steamed buns unwillingly.

Nolan originally wanted to say that it would delay the flight plan, but when he thought of the bloody New Year's Eve four years ago and her deep love for Shi Chen, he still couldn't say it.

So the military vehicle that was originally supposed to rush to the Capital Airport was diverted directly to the Eastern University District. After turning around the main entrance of Yuechi University and entering the block, it stopped. Nolan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, pointed to the street across the street.

A store with an antique "Zhenjiang Noodle House" plaque said: "Well, that's the store they opened."

Isa looked in the direction Nolan pointed, and was suddenly shocked when she saw a long queue outside the noodle shop with an ordinary decoration and a small store. The queue stretched to the next corner of the street. At a glance

Before the end, he suddenly murmured in shock: "His business is so good?"

Nolan rolled his eyes indifferently and said: "There is a national idol who is willing to work here as a cashier girl, so business will be good."

"Are all these people here to see Ye Mengqi?" Isa pursed her lips and said with some envy: "She is really charming. No wonder Shi Chen likes her so much."

"Your Highness, there is no need to envy her, you are also very good." Nolan encouraged.

"Really?" Isa asked timidly.

"You have to have confidence."

"But...how should we get there? There are so many people."

"Just go over there, we're just saying goodbye."

Isla tugged on Nolan's clothes, "Sister Nolan, why don't we go queue up? I want to taste his noodles..."
