C10 Fantasy Magic 3

In the resting area, Xiao and Jealous had been waiting for Leng Leng and Mifael without any conversation. Seeing Xiao sitting quietly with his eyes closed, Jealous finally opened his mouth as if he had a request.

"That..."

"Xiao, just call me that."

Xiao opened her emerald green eyes and looked at Jealous. With her permission, Jealous nodded slightly and then looked at the Holy Pattern Sword in his hand.

"Xiao, do you think I really have a way to defeat Witch? I... in today's battle, I can feel that you are serious and persistent about your 'mission', but I am a weak person. I can't follow my mission. "

Jealous said with a disheartened expression. Of course, Xiao also told him what she thought.

"If that is decided by yourself, then you are indeed a weak person. But since you have doubts about this mission, you should know whether you should do it or not. Isn't that why you are here now?"

"En... Legend has it that the Sacred Mark King will kill Witch because Witch threatened the princess who deeply loves the Sacred Mark King. Otherwise, the Sacred Mark King originally did not want to kill Witch. This was told by Delian, so he also hoped that I could protect his sister."

"Is this..." Is this really a legend? "

" Really...? "

Hearing the unwritten content in the book, Xiao's reaction also made Jealous look at her with a puzzled look.

Of course, Xiao only heard Leng mention the content of Alicia's words, so she told what Leng told her to Jealous. Jealous, who knew that his sister was a genius, naturally believed that Alicia would say so for another reason.

"Alicia would say that. Maybe there really is some inside story. Sigh... I can only blame those who have been practicing with swords. " I have never thought of this problem. "

"If the result makes you unable to kill Witch, what do you want to do next?"

This question made Jealous raise his head to look at the full moon in the sky. Although he was confused, his eyes were firm, and it fully expressed his feelings.

"I don't know... Actually, even if I don't become the Sacred Mark King, it doesn't matter. As long as Mifael... Mifael is safe, it is enough."

"Is that done for Delian?"

"Hehe, how should I put it? Actually, when I was young, I had a very important older sister. Although it was very hard for us to wander the streets, she always smiled gently at me."

Speaking of family matters, Jealous's face also revealed a smile because of sweet memories. However, in an instant, he became very disappointed.

"Only... After she brought me and Alicia into the palace, she left us. When he asked Delian again, he said that his sister was already dead. Until now, because she was diligent in learning the sword, she had almost forgotten her face. Later on, I met Mifael. At that time, I decided that since this person is the one I will protect in the future. Then I will definitely protect her and not let the important people leave me. However, Mifael doesn't seem to like me very much. Haha... So if I can't become the Sacred Mark King, I don't think she deserves it.

Jealous's bitter smile did not reach the level of self-mockery. Instead, it gave people a helpless feeling.

After silently listening to Jealous's words, Xiao also did not have any response. After all, he really had to choose between the two. Only Jealous could make the decision.

"Xiao, I... I'm going for a stroll. Mifael and Linruo, please wait for me when they come back."

"Okay."

After hearing Xiao's reply, Jealous picked up the Holy Pattern Sword and used it to relieve his boredom.

Walking alone in the forest, Jealous felt more relaxed. In his heart, he also hoped that if he could give up on the promise of the Sacred Mark and live in the forest with Mifael, he would be very satisfied.

"Eh..."

After walking for a while, Jealous stopped.

In the dark forest, there was a wide grassland with a weak light. Jealous curiously pushed aside the bushes to see what kind of light it was. The scene in front of him also made him speechless.

In the middle of the wide patch of grass, there was a tree chair. A mature and beautiful woman was holding a white fox that seemed to be still in its infancy. However, her hair color and silk robe were the opposite of the white fox's black.

The faint Illumination Spell shone on the position the woman was sitting on. Her soft long hair drifted along with the night wind. Her eyes were closed as she hummed a light sleeping tune. Her gentle hands caressed the white fox, causing the white fox's face to be filled with a comfortable expression. However, what Jealous cared about the most was not the beauty of a woman, but the song she was humming...

"This isn't a dream, right? Elder sister...?"

Jealous couldn't help but say this. Although it was very quiet, the white fox with keen hearing had already noticed and looked at where he was standing. Of course, this beautiful and mature woman also turned her gaze to the same position. However, her expression wasn't shock, but rather a very gentle smile.

"You've grown up, Jealous."

Hearing this, Jealous was even more certain of this person's identity.

"Is... is he really Big Sister?!"

The only smile he had the deepest impression of in his memory was a smile. Even though the mature face of the woman in front of him was different from the past, Jealous firmly believed that the woman in front of him was definitely the elder sister who brought him and Alicia along when they were young.

"Elder sister... why are you here? Why did the king say that you have already..."

"I am Witch, so I am waiting for the successor of the Sacred Mark to arrive."

Witch's answer made Jealous shake his head in disbelief, because his mission was to kill his sister.

"Witch...!? This, this is not true! How could elder sister be the rumored evil Witch! "There must be a mistake somewhere!"

Looking at the Holy Pattern Sword in her hand, this sword no longer gave Jealous any sense of security. Instead, it gave Jealous a feeling of extreme rejection, but Witch still admitted it without reservation.

"It's true. Look, this Illumination Spell is a magic trick, right? I sent the werewolf and the black bear. And I... will be waiting for you here."

"Liar! This is not true! ... Could it be that it is really as Delian said, Witch will confuse my heart!? Damn it -! "I will not be bewitched by you. Quickly reveal your true colors!"

Jealous pulled out the Holy Pattern Sword. He held the sword tightly in his trembling hand and pointed it at Witch. However, Witch did not have any intention of fighting. Instead, she looked at him with a sad smile.

"B-Damn it!!"

Jealous could feel that the smile was not an illusion, and the struggle in his heart had finally reached its limit. Unable to attack him, he turned around and ran like a mad dog. Seeing Jealous leave, Witch's eyes became even more sad.

"It seems that the legend is not that simple. Witch is actually - Da Ruiyin, the one who was sentenced to death by King Kronoss - Jealous and Alicia's elder sister."

When Witch sat back on the tree chair again, a young girl also walked out from the dark forest. Her emotionless and cold tone also allowed Witch to recognize her identity.

"Ha, Alicia has also grown up."

Witch's smile still did not change, but Alicia did not have Jealous's joy and wrongs. She only had questions that she could not understand.

"Why did you choose this path? Is it because only Witch knows about the inheritor of the Sacred Mark? " Since you know, why did you send your brother to the palace? "Although I have a feeling that this will be the result, I still can't understand."

Alicia is indeed very smart. If it's for the reason... Because I love Jealous, I hope that he can have power. This is what he deserves. Otherwise, if he follows me and lives quietly, it will only waste the privileges that this legend gives us. "

"Love him? Sacrifice himself for the sake of family?"

"Sure enough, it's still the same... Ever since I was young, there have been no emotional changes. It's even less emotional than the Puppets created by magic. "You probably can't understand my love for him, right? "How pitiful... "But that's not just familial love. It's love that can make me willing to give up my life."

Just like what Witch said, Alicia had never shown any emotion since she was young. She could not even understand how to express it. In the academy, perhaps she was called a lonely genius, but there were also rumors that she was a walking corpse in private. ...

At this time, in another dark corner of the forest, Xiao was also very concerned about Alicia's actions, so after she moved, he immediately followed her secretly.

Xiao, who was hiding in the dark of the forest, naturally heard the conversation between these two people. Regarding the "truth" outside of the legends, she also felt that she had to quickly tell Leng... She turned around and also returned to the place where she previously rested.

In order to repay the kindness of her friend, Lin Lin decided to help Jealous complete the promise of the legend of the Sacred Mark. However, because there were too many questions in the legend, they planned to go to the Sacred Mountain and have a chat with the legendary Witch.

Jealous, who was filled with confusion, now realized that Witch was actually the elder sister who raised him when he was young. The feeling of being unable to accept it deeply affected him. Leng and the others who accompanied him also knew the truth.

After knowing Witch's relationship with Dariyin, Jealous and Alicia, Xiao also returned to the resting place. Of course, he also saw Leng and Mifael waiting by the campfire for Jealous and her to return.

"Xiao, where did you go? Wasn't Jealous with you?"

Upon seeing Xiao's return, Lin Lin seemed to be very worried about their safety. She came to Lin Lin's side and shook her head slightly in response.

"No, I probably didn't know where I went after knowing the truth."

She turned back to look in the direction of her return. There was no movement, which obviously meant that Jealous did not intend to come back here. When Mifael heard her words, she was also anxious to continue asking.

"The truth? Did you see Witch?"

Xiao nodded and started to talk about the story of Alicia following them along the way, as well as the relationship between Witch, Jealous, and Alicia. However, Mifael and Jealous could not accept this fact.

"Impossible! How could Witch be the biological elder sister that Jealous has always been concerned about!"

At this time, Leng lowered her head and thought of Delian's reaction when he heard that he had come up the mountain. She could not help but guess...

"Could it be... His Majesty Delian already knew about all of this?"

"That Jealous probably went back to King City alone."

Xiao looked at the location of King City and deduced Jealous's whereabouts. Of course, Leng also had the same thought.

... "Let's go! Princess Mifael, we have to catch up to him!"

"En... If it is related to Brother Wang, then..."

Their guesses made Mifael feel very uneasy.

Under Leng Leng's suggestion, the three of them also decided to rush back to the city overnight. But when they were far away, Alicia and Da Ruiyin also watched their backs.

"Are you not going to stop them? When they return, they will definitely oppose the completion of the" Sacred Mark legend. "Then what are you going to do?"

That seemingly unrelated and indifferent tone, Alicia used her usual attitude to ask her elder sister beside her. But Da Ruiyin only smiled faintly and the light of the night slowly illuminated the entire Cloris...

In the forest, even though the sunlight began to illuminate the path in front of him, in the eyes of the young man, there was only anger and sadness, as if it blocked the path he was walking on in the future.

"Drink, drink... Why... Why did Delyan lie to me? Why...!! "

Jealous, who held the Holy Pattern Sword tightly, only wanted to know the truth in his mind. Since he could not get the reason from Da Ruiyin, he naturally had to find Delian, who told him his sister was dead from the beginning.

"Your Highness Jealous, please stop!"

When Jealous approached the city gate, a group of soldiers were about to drive their horses out of the city. However, when they saw Jealous, they immediately surrounded him.

"Captain, let me over. I have something to talk to the king about."

Seeing the soldiers stop him, Jealous looked very impatient. However, his words filled with anger made the soldiers surround him even more tightly.

"Under the orders of the king, Jealous, you must accept our custody."

"What? The king? " He... really lied to me. "

Hearing the soldier's helpless tone and the king's instructions, the expression on Jealous's face immediately changed to shock. Although with his current ability, he might still have a chance of winning against the cavalry surrounding him, but he did not want to harm innocent lives. After struggling for a few seconds, he unwillingly threw his sword and surrendered.

"Jealous!"

At the same time Jealous abandoned his sword and was arrested, Mifael's call attracted everyone's attention.
