Chapter 3050: Princess Lei Qianya's Crying
The third letter sent by Difa came from the "Guardian of the Earth." They found Difa directly after the war and gave her the letter. Now the Guardians had already returned directly to the Randall Valley; the "Heart of the Earth" could not be without their guardianship for a long time. This time, they had been away from there for two whole days.
The Guardians' letter was not very long, nor did it mention too much about their injuries during the city defense battle. However, they did warn Xia De at the end of the letter, telling him to cautiously observe the seal status of the Vesta Woodland even after the Battle of Time; the problem here had not been completely solved, it was just dragged on because of him.
"The friend you brought along this time was a huge help, but Vanessa told me that before I reached the Throne of the Gods, one of your friends fought a demon, and Vanessa said that friend of yours is even more dangerous than the demon."
Miss Jia Lin Na said on the side. Xia De nodded and didn't continue this topic; after all, the doctor was indeed more terrifying than that fire demon.
The two soon arrived at the door of Sister Devlin's room. Although they could joke with colleagues, the Duchess still respected this sister very much. She knocked on the door with her fingers, but the one who opened the door was the maid who was tidying up the room. There were not too many personal decorations belonging to her in the sister's room, and she was not here at this moment either.
"This is a letter for you."
The maid Miss handed the letter to Xia De, but it was not written by the sister, but by Grace.
"What's wrong?"
"Grace and Helen are helping Sister Devlin suppress her injuries. They set off to enter death half an hour ago, telling me that if I can after waking up, they will open the door around 7:30 for me to go and help."
He was somewhat worried:
"Miss Jia Lin Na, did you visit the sister before I woke up? How did she look at the time?"
"After the great war ended, I visited the sister alone around one o'clock in the morning, and later visited her again together with the Speaker. The sister said she was not injured. When fighting the Ancient One, the Ancient One took the initiative to send the power of the World Tree to her, igniting the fire she contained."
The initial fire burned the World Tree, making the fire somewhat uncontrollable, so she became like this.
The Duchess reassured Xia De:
"Entering death to suppress the initial fire was also a suggestion given by the Speaker at the time. With Grace and Helen there, you don't need to worry too much. If she really urgently needs you to help, they will come to find you directly."
As for the Red Butterfly sisters, the two's state was quite good. As relics, they had the characteristic that as long as they were not completely destroyed or injured by the power of gods, they could recover very quickly no matter how they were injured, so they had already been assisting Miss Jia Lin Na in handling post-war matters before Xia De woke up, and only came to help Sister Devlin heal after others had recovered slightly.
Leaving the sister's room, Xia De went to visit Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya again. The Red Butterfly Day that started on Saturday afternoon actually ended on Sunday afternoon. Now it was Monday, so to prevent Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya from being too close, causing pain to both, one was arranged in the room above the front of the ship, and one was arranged in the room at the bottom of the stern.
The one at the bottom of the ship was Princess Lei Qianya. Here, it was relatively close to the cabin where the Chocobos were taking refuge, so Ajelina, who was responsible for taking care of the Chocobos, was also taking care of her sister at the same time.
After Xia De and Miss Jia Lin Na entered the room, the red-haired princess, who was discussing something with her sister just a moment ago, immediately sniffed, and then opened her arms toward Xia De. After Xia De bent down and hugged the red-haired princess on the bed, she immediately cried sadly.
"It's alright, it's alright, what's wrong with you? Is it because the injury is still hurting? Or are you worried about other things?"
She was crying so sadly that even Xia De was infected by the emotion and couldn't help but comfort her.
Princess Lei Qianya, lying in his arms, sobbed and said:
"Red Butterfly Day has passed. Originally it was delayed for a long time, and this time it was missed completely. Have to wait another 21 days, this is too unfair."
She pulled Xia De's clothes:
"I have been looking forward to this time for a long time, but I didn't have time to do anything."
Saying this, she cried sadly again. Princess Lei Qianya had always been a strong girl; this time she was truly too aggrieved, so much so that even Miss Jia Lin Na could understand her niece's mood.
She looked at Ajelina, who was at a loss on the side. The little princess clearly remembered that the moment before Xia De and the others entered the door, her sister was not in this mood. At this time, seeing her aunt trying to let her open her mouth to comfort her, the little princess, who boasted of having "world-shocking wisdom," didn't know what to say either.
"Alright, alright, there's no way since we missed it this time. We'll just wait for the next time."
Xia De comforted her this way, so Princess Lei Qianya raised her tearful face:
"Can you accompany me tonight?"
"The cat is showing its tail."
Miss Jia Lin Na thought in her heart, but didn't stop her, but didn't expect Princess Lei Qianya to continue:
"In that hot spring, Moon Sanctuary. I heard from Dorothy that Grandma Cassandra and the others researched and believed that that hot spring helps increase the probability of reproduction..."
Ajelina's face changed immediately. Sourness, pain, and depression surged together. As long as she thought of that scene, she felt as if her heart was about to be torn apart. But she knew she was nothing; in front of her beautiful sister and that handsome knight, she had no position to oppose, and could only watch them...
"Princess Lei Qianya, although I know you are very aggrieved, I'm afraid it won't work tonight."
The princesses' aunt opened her mouth, kindly reminding:
"Don't forget you left Tobesk temporarily. Originally you planned to leave after fighting, but because of the time jump, you were delayed here for two whole days. Rest for a while, in a while I will take people to send you to the location of the tree hole, and you return to No. 6 Saint-Dran Square from there. Fortunately, you only missed Sunday. If it were a workday, you would be in big trouble after going back."
"This..."
Thus, Princess Lei Qianya cried even more sadly while hugging Xia De, so much so that even Ajelina, who breathed a sigh of relief, felt her sister was very pitiful, so she handed her handkerchief to Xia De to help her wipe her tears.
"If Red Butterfly Day could be longer, we could better help
Thus, a desire for more took root in Lei Qianya's heart; she would not be satisfied with the status quo.
"Xia De, since things here are finished, will you go home as soon as possible?"
Before leaving, Lei Qianya wiped her tears and, with red-rimmed eyes, urged Xia De. She knew Xia De still had to visit others and did not make him stay to keep her company. As for her injuries... she had been fine since separating from Dorothy, and she was only lying in bed now because her great-aunt had demanded it.
"I understand. I will return as soon as I can. Lei Qianya, I'll see you in Tobesk."
The door was closed. The maids in the room continued with their tasks. Ajelina wanted to say something else, but then she saw her sister, who had just been looking so aggrieved, turn serious again. If not for her still-red eyes, she would have almost thought the arrival of Xia De and her great-aunt had been a hallucination:
"Ajelina, let's continue our discussion. What is that expression on your face? Now that your friend Amelia has already..."
So, Lei Qianya Cavendish was truly strong, perhaps even too strong at times.
Compared to Lei Qianya, the blonde writer Miss, who also felt regret for missing this Red Butterfly Day, did not appear as aggrieved. She also stayed in her own room, cared for by Margaret, who had been sent by Vanessa—since Vanessa had Xilisi helping her, Margaret was clearly not suited to appear before the Church.
When Xia De and Miss Jia Lin Na entered, Dorothy and Margaret were chatting and laughing about the story of *The Detective Knight*. As a princess of the Southern Kingdom, Margaret did not feel it was an aggrieved task to be sent by her teacher to care for someone else; after all, Dorothy was a Chosen One.
"Xia De~ you're awake, aren't you? How are you feeling now?"
Dorothy asked with a smile, sitting up from the sofa to give Xia De a hug.
Miss Jia Lin Na, standing to the side, then said:
"Dorothy, I really wish you and my Lei Qianya could swap personalities. If she were as gentle and considerate as you, I would certainly have much less to worry about."
She knew Lei Qianya was surely listening, which was why she said it specifically. Although the two Cavendishes had long since reconciled because of Xia De—and had even been pulled by Xia De to... watch the morning sun together—they still enjoyed bickering like this. Xia De believed this could also be considered a special way of maintaining family bonds.
Lei Qianya and Dorothy were not actually injured, so Dorothy planned to have breakfast with Xia De in a while. The writer Miss's excuse for leaving Tobesk this time was to gather material, so she did not need to rush back immediately. She would likely return home with Xia De, so compared to Lei Qianya, Dorothy's mood was still quite good.
"Lastly, go visit Luweiya. You go yourself; I'm going to the kitchen to arrange breakfast."
After leaving Dorothy's room, the Duchess took the initiative to say this. Seeing Xia De's expression, she knew what he was thinking:
"I won't disturb you and our Diviner. Remember to eat in half an hour. If Luweiya can get up, let her come along; if not, don't force her."
"Alright, I understand... Miss Jia Lin Na, you've worked hard too."
The red-haired witch laughed to herself:
"If I had arrived earlier, that would have been hard work. Looking back, most of my time during this great battle was spent traveling through that maze-like forest."
She leaned slightly closer to Xia De, capturing Xia De's eyes within her own:
"But it's alright, it's alright that I was able to help you in the end."
Giving Xia De a light kiss, she turned and left with the maids in good spirits.
