Chapter 1251

~7 min read 1,396 words

For a mother who had lost her husband and her daughter, how could the despair and sorrow deep in her heart be surpassed by the mere whispers of the Honkai/gods?

The Honkai tried to induce Alexandra to destroy the world.

However, relying solely on her longing and obsession for Bronya, Alexandra overcame this inducement because she knew very well.

"I know very well that this world has never been beautiful. Cold, hunger, poverty, war—my hometown alone was filled with so many tragedies."

Facing the Honkai's bewitchment, Alexandra clearly stated the dregs of the world.

Some people live in the light, while others live in the darkness. For example, even though it was the same Earth, when Europe in 1470 fell into the despair known as the Black Death and people were panicked by the terror of Honkai Beasts.

Shenzhou during the same period was calm and peaceful.

Under the protection of the Immortal Chi Yuan, people almost didn't know why the Honkai existed, living and working in peace and contentment.

This world has never been fair.

Alexandra knew it very well.

"Born in such a world, living is more painful than dying, and the future is darker than the present. So even if I listened to you and destroyed the world, what of it? My daughter wouldn't come back, and besides..."

"Death might be a relief, but only by living is there hope."

"The future might be darker, but dawn will eventually come."

"You say my daughter is already dead, maybe that's true, but I don't believe it! I don't accept it! I will definitely find Bronya, even if it takes the rest of my life!"

Alexandra's determination could not be shaken even by the Honkai, because she had already lost the most important thing, but precisely because of this, she could not despair and had to find back what was important.

"Even hating the world is useless. If it's for my daughter, I am willing to let this world go for now."

From that moment on, the Honkai gave up on continuing to bewitch Alexandra, because it knew it couldn't bewitch this human who held the identity of "mother," unless it threw her daughter's corpse in front of her.

But Bronya was at an orphanage called the Hearth of Home at the time, being protected by a boy from Anti-Entropy.

And just two days ago, Alexandra, who had traveled across most of Shenzhou asking for news of Bronya, finally got a clue from a World Serpent employee.

World Serpent employee: "You mean this girl? Know her! Of course I know her! She's a Valkyrie from St. Freya Academy! Last time a Honkai Beast as tall as a building appeared here, it was this Miss Bronya who solved it!"

Alexandra: "!!!"

Unexpectedly surprising information: her daughter was not only alive, but also a Valkyrie!

Although after the Manila Honkai incident, various countries had officially disclosed information about the Honkai, Alexandra, who had experienced the Second Honkai Impact, actually knew about the existence of the Honkai and Valkyries long ago.

As if she had found a life-saving straw, Alexandra immediately rushed to the airport. However, when she arrived at the airport, she thought of one very important thing... she had no money.

All these years, her life had always been at the lowest level, or rather, she could only ensure she was alive... In fact, if Bai Ge hadn't used his authority to treat Alexandra once in the past, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Anyway, looking at the high price of the plane ticket, Alexandra even had the thought of whether she should stow away or swim to the Far East region at that moment.

However, just when she didn't know what to do.

World Serpent employee: "Ahem! Congratulations on becoming the 1,000,000th guest at this airport. We have prepared a first-class private jet service for you to travel anywhere in the world!"

Alexandra: "Eh? Then, I, can I go to the Far East region?"

World Serpent employee: "Yes! Of course! I wish you a pleasant journey and may all your wishes come true!"

Alexandra felt that she was favored by good luck. Since finding the news about Bronya, the world seemed to be on her side, and everything was making way for her.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this good luck would last until she found her daughter. Alexandra clutched the yellowed and worn-out photo of young Banya in her hand.

She knew that her daughter, Bronya, if she were really still alive, must have grown from a young girl into a teenager and would no longer look like the photo.

But Alexandra still had confidence that she would recognize her the moment she saw Bronya.

After all, if nothing else, the turbo hairstyle inherited from her family's bloodline was an incredibly distinct feature!

However, the reunion came faster and more suddenly than Alexandra had expected. When this mother arrived in the Far East region and walked across an intersection, she discovered a girl's figure that stole her gaze.

Silver-gray hair, double spiral curls, and an appearance similar to her own, but these were not the key.

The moment she saw Bronya, Alexandra felt her heart beat forcefully.

Tears uncontrollably overflowed from her eye sockets.

That resonance from her bloodline seemed to make the dried and solidified blood in her body flow hotly again.

(Found her... found her! My daughter, my Bronya! God, I'm not dreaming, am I!)

Alexandra hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes, otherwise her blurred vision wouldn't be able to see the girl's figure clearly.

She had indeed grown a lot compared to when she was a child, becoming cuter and more mature, and she also exuded an indescribable noble temperament, looking shiny all over.

Alexandra had fantasized countless times in her mind about what her daughter would look like when she grew up, but Bronya, who had transformed into the Herrscher of Truth at this moment, had far exceeded her imagination.

At this moment, Alexandra felt as if she had "come back to life." Just this one glance made her feel that all these years of persistence were worth it! She couldn't wait to walk toward Banya.

She wanted to hug her daughter, wanted to look at her properly at the closest distance. Countless longings surged into her heart in an instant, making her footsteps faster and faster.

However, at this moment...

"Daddy Bai Ge, where are we going to play today?"

Bronya held the white-haired boy's hand and asked expectantly, and this sentence also reached Alexandra's ears.

(Eh? Daddy? Who is Bronya calling? Isn't Alexei already dead? This, what is going on?)

Alexandra's footsteps stopped instantly.

Because her attention had been entirely focused on Bronya just now, she had ignored the white-haired boy standing next to the girl, who should have been more conspicuous.

And now, as Alexandra followed Bronya's gaze, she immediately discovered that the person her daughter was calling wasn't her dead husband, but a boy who was tens of thousands of times better-looking than her husband.

At this moment, Alexandra's brain crashed.

(Eh? This, what exactly is going on? Why would Bronya call this boy Daddy? What, what kind of relationship do they have?! Could it be that...)

As a mature woman, Alexandra could be considered well-informed. A boy and girl who looked to be of similar age, yet the latter called the former Daddy.

This mother felt dizzy for a moment, and the blood that had just turned hot suddenly froze again.

Alexandra: "No, no! Can't judge easily yet, have to... observe a bit more!"

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Just being able to find her daughter was already very satisfying for this mother, and various signs indicated that Bronya was doing very well now. So Alexandra followed behind the two nervously and carefully, intending to see the situation first.

However, the result once again exceeded her expectations.

Simply put, there was nothing wrong.

Bai Ge and Bronya's date today, except for the exciting parts Alexandra didn't see (the chase and race), could be said to be a normal, ordinary couple's date.

The two dominated the arcade, ate a delicious lunch, shopped for a few hours, and watched a movie. It was just such an ordinary but fulfilling and beautiful date... except for the address.
