"Sister Tanya, what do you mean by this? You are not trying to bully me, are you?" Liuhua took off her leather robe, and then after feeling the temperature of the water, she jumped into the pool with a smile.
Although bathing is commonplace, this is Rikka's first time taking a bath in her life, and it's still in the royal palace of the Tundra Continent.
For her with super strong perception, she already knew all about her brother's conversation with Ragnar. Therefore, she already understood Boom's thoughts and was just pretending to be stupid.
Divine Knight Tanya put her weapon away, and then untied the braid of her hair. Her blond hair spread like a waterfall on her back, making Rikka envious.
The two women sat opposite each other at the two ends of the pool. One was silent all the time, while the other kept fluttering as if she had ADHD. Compared to the elegance next door, this place was like a children's playground.
"You can't swim?" Tanya couldn't keep her expression straight when she saw Liuhua swallowing the bath water. She was surprised, because even ordinary people can easily master this kind of thing.
In Tanya's eyes, strong people only have things they are not good at, but nothing that is completely uncontrollable. Aliens like Rikka are something she has never seen before.
"No, Rikka has never swum before, but I must have a good time today!" Rikka said and started swimming again.
Water splashed continuously on Tanya's face, and the thick mist was stirred up and dissipated quickly. Rikka played comfortably in the water, and even mistook Tanya's star buckler as a water ball.
"Aren't you afraid that we will kill Boom secretly?" Tanya stirred up the water in the pool and asked with a smile. In her eyes, the other party was just a talented little girl with no scheming at all.
But there is no doubt about the strength of Boom and Rikka. Not to mention the magic that Rikka finally displayed, which even frightened him, the Divine Blessing Knight.
Even Boom, who is only an intermediate magician, has also used a move that mixes two types of magic. Presumably, in more than ten years, the brother and sister will stand at the top of their game, and even destroy a certain principality with their own hands.<
/p>
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I know my brother's affairs best. If my brother is still alive, then Rikka will be a good baby and everything has nothing to do with me."
"But if my brother unfortunately dies, Rikka will kill everyone, and finally reunite with him in the Hall of Heroes, and never leave him again."
Rikka stopped playing around. Although there was still a smile on her face, the murderous intent in her eyes could not be concealed. A short blade slowly came out of the water and finally touched Tanya's chest.
"Rikka, you are very special. As for other things, I won't tell you, and I have no interest in knowing."
"However, the reason why I don't kill you is not because of Ragnar's order, nor is it impossible, but because of personal feelings."
"In the Nightingale Grassland of the Principality of Xisai, you took my attack forcefully, and you must have been unconscious for a long time afterwards. And today, you protected him risklessly, even at the expense of your life force."
Tanya raised her head, her voice seemed calm and soothing, as if she was expressing the feelings accumulated over the years with her old friend. But Rikka suddenly froze when she heard the words, and then the short blade slowly penetrated the opponent's flesh.
A drop of bright red blood dropped into the pool water, then twisted and deformed, and finally disappeared. This is Rikka's biggest secret, not to mention the thing that Boom doesn't want to know.
The "Flower of Peeling" can be as short as ten seconds, or it can last forever, until the caster dies due to exhaustion of life force.
When Boom was in dire straits today, Rikka did not hesitate to consume her life force, and the flower bed contained endless pressure from beasts.
If Ragna hadn't appeared in time to save the siege, it is estimated that even as a divine knight, she would not have been able to escape unscathed. At best, she would have been severely injured, at worst, it might have been even more tragic. "This is my little secret. Sister Tanya doesn't want Liuhua to bring disaster to the village. If my brother finds out one day, Liuhua will definitely come back to ask for an explanation."
Rikka stared at each other coldly, and even the skin in the pool turned into brown. A faint fragrance spread in the stone room, which was the expression of Rikka's extreme anger.
"You like Boom, just like I like Ragnar. As a woman, I understand this feeling, which is unspeakable helplessness."
"I was actually a prisoner on death row in Sisai, but I was rescued by the Ragnar family in the end, so I became a slave since I was a child, even though I never suffered humiliation."
"You will know about Ragnar soon, but few people know about me. I like him, even if he marries a wife and has children, even if he is alone again."
"All Tanya can do is stay by his side and try to make herself stronger, just to protect him at the critical moment."
"Rikka, if we swap places today, will you kill the thugs? Will you stabilize the town built by your lover? Will you betray your morality because of this?"
As Tanya spoke, she stroked Rikka's short blade. However, at the moment of contact, her heart palpitated for no reason, as if she was facing a peak expert or even an even more powerful opponent.
Circles of ripples spread across the water, and Rikka couldn't hold herself back from crying, and finally covered her mouth like a pitiful little girl. Seeing this, Tanya slowly hugged her.
The golden waterfall and the long dark purple hair were entangled together, and Rikka kept sobbing in each other's arms, constantly relieving her emotions.
Tanya sniffed Rikka's body fragrance, and comforted him with everything she had. But she did not forget the identity of the blessed knight, and saw a cluster of water jetting towards the wall, making a loud noise.
Ragnar, who was separated by a wall, laughed loudly when he heard the sound, but Boom opposite him looked extremely helpless. This voice was Tanya's response, and it also signaled that Rikka agreed to stay in the village.
"Sister Tanya, I really want to be deceived by you. But you are very powerful, and it will be quite troublesome for someone to kill you. But next time, Rikka will be really angry."
Rikka said in hindsight while fiddling with Tanya's long golden hair. After the other party said those words, she already regarded him as a confidant.
"Sister Rikka, this is your biggest flaw. The road to the top requires not only talent and perseverance, but also beware of the secret temptations of young people."
"Everything I said before may be true, but it may also be false. How much can you tell? How much can you listen to it?"
Tanya patted Rikka's little head, as if a big sister was lecturing her younger sister. But Tanya couldn't smooth out those stupid hairs.
"Hmph! One Brother Boom is enough! Sister Tanya, please don't treat Rikka as a child. Rikka is very powerful. Believe it or not, she could smash this stone chamber with one punch!"
"As for what is true and what is false, Rikka can't figure it out now, and probably won't figure it out in the future either. But there's nothing that can't be solved with one sword. If it doesn't work, just use another sword!"
Rikka grabbed Tanya's long golden hair, looking a bit rogue, but she never showed the power of the beast. Tanya shook her head when she heard this, and her appearance was very similar to Boom.
"Sister Tanya, as a top expert, aren't you curious about my identity?" Rikka swam to the other end of the pool, and at this moment she actually learned to swim.
"In my eyes, you are just an infatuated person like me, nothing more." Tanya stared blankly at the wall, as if her eyes had already penetrated and landed on Ragna.
