"Siegfried, I won't kill you, and I won't let you die."
"I want you to witness firsthand how Kiana becomes a true—Herrscher!"
Siegfried shouted in a mixture of shock and anger.
"Do not!!!"
Chapter 512 She'll definitely be an outstanding herald when she grows up☆
On the snowfield, the raging fire reignited, nearly destroying everything around it.
However, in the heart of the raging fire that had almost burned everything, there was a small patch of pure land where a lovely little girl with white hair was sleeping peacefully.
Beside her lay a scorched earth.
As the fire was about to die down, a figure rushed out of the inferno and ran into the depths of the snowfield, quickly disappearing from sight—at least that's how it appeared to outsiders.
Otto, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, frowned. From the images transmitted through the Soul Steel body, it seemed that nothing unexpected had happened.
But why does it always feel like something's not quite right?
However, Otto thoroughly investigated the area using his Soul Steel clone but found nothing amiss.
Sirin regained consciousness, and Siegfried suppressed her before leaving Kiana.
That's exactly what he saw.
The Soul Steel clone quickly transmitted new images.
Kiana, who had just awakened, stood there crying.
"Amber, let's begin."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Looking at the crying Kiana on the screen in front of him, Otto pondered his next plan.
"Um, big sister, why did you do that? Dad didn't do anything!"
"Because the past is complicated, you can judge for yourself when you grow up. Besides, he's your grandfather, and you only have two mothers."
"Dad, is that Grandpa?"
"He's Grandpa, he's always been Grandpa, there's no problem with that at all. You'll understand when you grow up and read more books."
"Oh"
"Mmm, the barbecue is almost ready, we can start eating!"
"Yay!"
In the snowy plains, Sirin and Kiana chatted and ate their barbecue, but since they were sharing the same body, it looked to outsiders as if they were talking to themselves.
The Heavenly Fire Greatsword was burning with flames, automatically and gently roasting the mutton skewers on it. Xilin would add seasonings from time to time, and when she saw a piece that was roasted, she would pick up a knife, cut it off, and put it in a bowl.
"Wow, so delicious!" Little Kiana carefully picked up the freshly grilled meat, put it in her mouth, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Then eat more, so you can grow up quickly."
Sirin then had the Skyfire Greatsword cook mutton soup for Little Kiana.
"Ok!"
"Little Kiana is so well-behaved; she'll definitely be an outstanding Herrscher when she grows up!"
"Herrscher? What's that?"
"The Lawbearer is the embodiment of the laws of the universe. Simply put, it's 1+1=2—an objective, universal, and inevitable law."
Little Kiana was a little confused and asked in a daze.
"Huh? Isn't 1+1 11?"
Celine fell silent.
"...Who taught you that?"
Kiana replied.
Nobody taught me.
Wouldn't that make the problem even more serious?! Sirin was speechless. Had Siegfried never taught Kiana anything?
Then Celine noticed the training marks on Kiana's body.
Okay, so you're just teaching Kiana fighting techniques... is that all you're going to teach her?!
"Looks like I need to teach you to read and write properly first. How can you become an outstanding Herrscher without reading?"
At that moment, Siegfried, who was not far away, heard Sirin say that Kiana should become a Herrscher. He wanted to get close to Kiana, but for some reason he couldn't. He shouted in grief and indignation.
"Damn it! Kiana!!! You're human! Not a Herrscher!! Don't listen to Herrschers!!!"
Kiana saw her father—or rather, her grandfather—not far away and suddenly shouted again, slightly frightened.
Grandpa used to get drunk like this all the time, and then he would suddenly start yelling and screaming, which was really scary.
Kiana is always worried about her grandfather's condition, but she is also a little afraid of him when he's drunk.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Sirin comforted Kiana, then took out her communicator and connected with Cecilia.
Sirin can indeed still contact Cecilia, but it's Cecilia from her own timeline, not the Cecilia from this timeline who has already died.
"Let's talk to Grandma first."
After the communication was established, Cecilia's image appeared in front of Kiana.
Little Kiana often hears her grandfather calling Cecilia, showing her a picture and telling her that this is her mother, or, well, her older sister Celine says it's her grandmother.
"Grandma!" Kiana called out in a clear voice when she saw Cecilia.
Cecilia smiled and glanced at Sirin, then nodded.
"Hmm, little Kiana is such a good girl."
Xilin felt a little guilty, but quickly regained her confidence, after all, she hadn't said anything wrong.
True Kiana is indeed K-423's mother, while Sirin, who provided the genes, is another mother. So, wouldn't Cecilia be Kiana's grandmother?
"Auntie?"
"Yes, that's right. I share the same name as you. My name is Kiana Schariac, your aunt. Just call me Auntie."
Kiana Schariac, also known as the real Kiana, but from the Sirin timeline, is also present in the communication, chatting with the younger Kiana.
Then Kiana looked at Sirin with a smile.
Sirin was genuinely feeling guilty. She and Kiana were true sisters, but Kiana... well.
However, neither Kiana nor Cecilia seemed to care and readily accepted Kiana as their younger sister.
The group chatted together, and Siegfried, who was not far away, also saw Sirin and Kiana talking to someone, but Siegfried could not see who it was.
But the two women's white hair really caught Siegfried's attention. Who were they?
Siegfried doesn't know what state he's in right now. He can contact the outside world for a certain period of time, but then he returns to a strange state where he can't contact anything in reality. He also can't get close to Kiana and Sirin, and it seems like his voice can't even reach them. He can only look at them with his eyes.
He had no idea how Celine did it; if she had that ability back then, the Earth would have been destroyed hundreds of times over.
Siegfried tried many ways to talk to Kiana, such as writing, but Sirin always stopped him. Besides, Kiana couldn't read at all!
Cecilia and Kiana didn't talk for long. After Cecilia set the educational policy for Kiana and put Cecilia in charge of teaching her, they ended their communication, but they could still communicate and meet often in the future.
"Sister Xilin, when can I meet Grandma and Auntie?"
Little Kiana asked expectantly.
"You'll have to wait until you grow up, since Grandma and Auntie are both busy. But we can still chat on the phone often. Grow up quickly and become an excellent Herrscher, then you'll be able to see them!"
"Cilyn said with a smile."
Siegfried, who was not far away, still couldn't hear what Sirin was saying. He only heard that she wanted little Kiana to grow up to be an outstanding Herrscher.
"You idiot! Kiana! You're not the Herrscher of Destruction!!!"
"Let's go." After Kiana had eaten and drunk her fill, Sirin took over the body. Walking in the snowfield was obviously not something Kiana could do alone, but Sirin wouldn't let Kiana do nothing. She would slowly teach Kiana various things.
"Where are we going?" Little Kiana wasn't flustered after returning to the consciousness space. There were lots of delicious food and fun things to do here, so she asked Sirin curiously.
"Go find our two companions, one of whom is your older sister."
"Oh, my own sister?" Little Kiana was very surprised.
“Yes,” Sirin glanced at Siegfried not far away, her expression becoming even more delighted.
Where is my sister?
"Your older sister was lost by Siegfried and lost her memory. She's currently in an orphanage. We need to go find her now, and then you and your friends can prepare to fight the evil Demon King."
"Grandpa lost his older sister? Grandpa... um, and the Great Demon King?"
"Yes, he's the one who caused countless tragedies, indirectly leading to the deaths of many people, and even nearly killed your grandmother Cecilia. He wanted to kill Siegfried, and was also the great demon king who caused Siegfried to lose your older sister."
Celine was not lying; she could guarantee that everything she said was absolutely true.
"What an annoying demon king!" Little Kiana got angry as soon as she heard that.
"Yes, but little Kiana needs to eat more and read more now, so that she can grow up healthy and defeat the Great Demon King."
"Yes! I will definitely eat more and read more! By the way, Sister Sirin, besides my older sister, who is my other friend?"
"Her name is—"
"Penglai Temple Nine Heavens☆"
What exactly does Chapter 513 want to do?
What does it mean to be a kind person?
Otto, who had just finished arranging the funerals for Ragnar and the others, frowned as he listened to Amber's report.
"A kind-hearted couple with a reputation for philanthropy, after meeting K-423, decided to help her find Siegfried."
Amber repeated the report.
She then handed over the investigation report.
As Otto looked at the report, his brow furrowed even more. The kind-hearted couple were indeed good people in the truest sense. They often adopted homeless children, did charity work, and donated supplies. Moreover, they had some connection with the Schariac family of Destiny. Otto thought about it for a while and then he remembered them.
Many of the orphans adopted by Destiny were still living in the orphanage registered under the names of that kind old couple, including Bianca Atagina.
As for why the couple suddenly came into contact with K-423, the information shows that it was indeed a coincidence. The couple occasionally traveled around the world, and this time they happened to be traveling in Northern Europe when they encountered K-423, which had just left the snowfield.
Everything was normal. K-423 was lucky enough to run into a kind old couple who decided to help her when they learned that she was looking for her father.
Otto immediately retrieved the surveillance footage of the kind-hearted couple's contact with K-423, including the footage and audio of K-423's conversation when it tried to leave to find Siegfried.
“There’s nothing unusual…” Otto investigated more information, but still found nothing wrong; it was all just a coincidence.
Otto originally planned to gradually guide K-423 into the shape he envisioned during its wanderings, but the appearance of the kind-hearted couple surprised him.
"Don't let too many people come into contact with K-423," Otto finally ordered.
Otto was naturally very concerned about K-423's wanderings. He wanted her to gradually grow into the person he planned to be, so he couldn't let too many people come into contact with or influence her.
"Yes"
Amber bowed her head in response, then withdrew.
Otto watched the K-423 appear on the monitor screen.
Although the appearance of the kind couple was unexpected, everything is still in the planning stage.
"What a pity☆"
After boarding the plane and saying goodbye to the kind couple, Celine sat in her seat and said with a calm regret.
"What's wrong with Sister Xilin?"
Little Kiana was quietly looking at the book that Sirin had shown her, and she was a little puzzled after hearing Sirin's regret.
"That uncle and auntie are being watched☆"
"Huh? Why?!"
Little Kiana was very puzzled. Those uncle and aunt were clearly very nice people, so why were they being targeted?
