It seemed as though it was meant to bring the light of salvation into the hearts of the girls.
Silver light tore through the shadows behind them.
The ominous, eerie patterns were exposed under the intense radiance, shining upon the girls’ despairing backs and bringing them light and warmth.
Olivia appeared before the Heavenly Oracle Envoys like a deity descending.
She wore the gorgeous robes of the Saint Son, but removed her hood upon entering the castle, revealing her beautiful long hair and a face that bore a five- or six-tenths resemblance to Gabriella, along with a warm, gentle smile.
Olivia slowly walked over to the group as they stood up.
She reached out and gently stroked Philina’s head.
“Heavenly Oracle Envoy Leader!”
Morphis felt like she was about to cry.
Only then did she remember that Philina had mentioned Lady Olivia, the Heavenly Oracle Envoy Leader.
She had never expected her to appear here.
“Lady Olivia.”
Holy Queen Simona gave a slight nod and smiled. “Should I call you Miss Saint Son, or…”
“Just call me Olivia, little Simona~” Olivia said with a smile.
“Or Lady Olivia? That’s what Lady Liya calls me.”
Olivia carefully observed the Heavenly Oracle Envoy named Morphis and quickly recalled what she had looked like during her time among them.
Hmm, she used to be a Heavenly Oracle Envoy skilled in magical construction. She looked soft and gentle too.
“Lady Olivia, why are you here?”
Morphis walked up to the Heavenly Oracle Envoy Leader. She had many questions.
“I came here, of course, for my daughter.”
“Daughter…? You mean Lady Gabriella?”
“Yes.”
Olivia’s voice carried an arrogance that stood above all things, yet her warm gaze made this mother seem very approachable.
“My daughter is in danger. As her mother, I naturally have to step forward.”
“I understand.”
At that moment, Olivia walked over to Philina’s side.
She reached out and gently rubbed the girl’s small head.
“So comfortable…”
Feeling that familiar aura, Philina’s eyes widened slightly.
“Mmm…”
“As expected, no matter when, Lady Olivia always prioritizes the emotions of us Heavenly Oracle Envoys first.”
“That idiot Morphis still doesn’t understand just how intoxicating the shadows can be.”
“Philina is still as cute as ever.”
“Thank you, Lady Olivia.”
“Don’t worry. I will protect all of you, you little ones.”
“Ha…”
Philina let out a soft breath.
The corners of her mouth curved upward as she reached behind her and took Morphis’s hand.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she missed Morphis’s taste… the flavor in her mouth.
Morphis also sensed Philina’s enthusiasm.
It felt like she was begging her to suck out more of that magic power.
With so many people watching, she could only tightly hold the other girl’s hand and leave those embarrassing matters for later.
“This time, we will not lose to the evil god,” Olivia said. “Philina, Simona, are you both in a condition to fight?”
Simona gave a slight nod and curtsied halfway. “I’m fine~”
“The enemies are Liya and the evil god…” Olivia touched her chin. “May I ask, where is Elsa?”
Only after hearing this did Morphis remember that Elsa’s situation seemed quite bad.
She was facing the fallen Ice Saint Tina alone. Would she… be okay?
Several minutes earlier
After separating from her big sister Gabriella, Elsa threw herself alone into the chaos.
She passed through the miasma black clouds stirred up by her sister’s magic power, then stopped running and began walking slowly.
She kept her head lowered.
Every step felt incredibly difficult. Biting her lip, the intense internal struggle made her movements slower and slower.
Elsa could only hear her own heartbeat and the hollow, drawn-out echoes in the shadow domain that sounded like the mournful cries of a giant beast.
After passing through the black clouds and chaos, a familiar figure appeared before her.
The ice wings behind her dissipated into countless tiny ice crystals that scattered in the air like stars filling the night sky.
Tina also walked over slowly, but Elsa didn’t dare look into her eyes.
She felt so sorry toward Tina.
Having awakened her power and memories as a Heavenly Oracle Envoy, only to betray the one she loved, Elsa didn’t dare face Tina.
She was afraid that Tina’s first words would be filled with disgust or even hatred toward her.
As the footsteps drew closer, her legs began to tremble. Then, with a “thump,” she knelt on the ground.
“Elsa?!”
Tina sounded very surprised.
She immediately crouched down as well, kneeling on the ground. She grabbed Elsa’s arm, her face full of shock.
“A-are you okay?”
“Uuu… Uwaaa…”
“Don’t cry, Elsa. I… I was wrong, okay?”
Elsa wiped her tears.
The words of apology and begging for mercy she had prepared were swallowed back down.
An apology?
Tina was actually apologizing to her?
“I didn’t know you had regained your memories. I never expected things to turn out like this… I’m sorry again… I should have asked you first, mmm.”
Tina was extremely anxious. Her ice-blue tail tentatively brushed against Elsa’s waist.
Elsa’s crying quickly stopped.
Kneeling on the floor eroded by shadows didn’t feel cold at all. Instead, it felt somewhat like a warm carpet.
All reasons for betraying Tina vanished from her heart. For a brief moment, the only thought left in Elsa’s mind was wanting to please Tina.
“Tina, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have left the Residential Palace. I shouldn’t have submitted to the Heavenly Oracle Envoys. I shouldn’t have hurt you.”
As she spoke, Elsa lifted her head. The disguise her big sister Gabriella had given her suddenly faded away.
Demonic horns reappeared on her head, and her demonic pupils lost their divine light.
“I like you so much, Tina. I love you so much, Tina.”
“Eh?” Tina hadn’t expected Elsa to be the one apologizing, but she suddenly understood Elsa, just as Elsa now understood her.
No explanation was needed. They understood each other’s feelings perfectly.
“Punish me, Tina.”
Elsa’s hand climbed into Tina’s cool hair, her eyes filled with longing.
Her skin was cool, but her body was warm inside.
“Punish me for leaving the Residential Palace and betraying the demon race, just like how the evil god punishes Big Sister.”
“Mhm.”
“Make it so I can never leave you again.”
Tina nodded.
She lowered her head in thought for a long while. Then, the dark triangle on her forehead released even more shadows.
The ice turned into pure ice-blue magic power that projected beneath the two girls, drawing a magic array that emanated a strange aura.
