To the eternal you

"Nah, dear Sara."

The purple-haired little girl tugged at the sleeves of Nine Tiao Shaluo, her little face was a little disappointed.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Seeing this, Jiutiao Saluo, who probably had an estimate in his heart, skillfully hugged the little highness, and coaxed in a warm voice.

It would be an eye-opener for the soldiers who practiced the Heavenly Command to see it. The cold and ruthless general Kutiao in the past would actually show such a warm expression, which can even be called maternal kindness, which is really surprising.

But if you see that exquisite and cute little guy, you will know it in your heart, after all, who made her the little highness, the mascot that everyone in Daozuma loves.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like something happened far away that makes me unhappy."

The little Highness's cute face was a little aggrieved, and she stretched out her small arms to wrap her arms around Sara, her cotton candy-like temperament made her mind dazed for a moment.

"Is that so... It doesn't matter! I think it was the general who dealt with it before I came here. Your Highness can rest assured."

In fact, Jiutiao Shaluo could vaguely guess that, after all, Dao Wife learned about Liyue through diplomatic means. As the general of the Heavenly Leader, she is also the general's confidant, so she naturally knows a lot of news.

It was also the first time she saw the general in such a hurry, but when he came back, his face was as cold as ice.

But these things are naturally not suitable for innocent children to think about, she quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, I heard that the Urushima House in Hanazaka has recently made a new batch of general clay puppets. Your Highness is going to have a look. ?"

"Oh~ really?! Going to go!" The little highness has a child's heart, like a blank sheet of paper, even if he has troubles, he will quickly forget them, and said with a smile, rubbing Jiujo Saluo's neck.

"Okay, please wait a moment, Your Highness, Sara is going to ask the general for instructions."

Jiutiao Saluo put the little Highness down, bowed again, seeing her bright eyes blinking, he couldn't help feeling warm again.

"Please, Sara! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~" The little highness pretended to be an adult and stroked her head, which made Jiujoa a little bit dumbfounded, but quickly withdrew.

Today's little Highness and that General are sisters. Although there is a big difference in age, and even just looking at the appearance, there is a feeling of mother and daughter. This also makes the General treat His Highness a bit like a strict mother. Including eating anything, you must report to the general, and you can only get permission if you get permission.

Therefore, for the General, His Highness is actually a little afraid of her, but there is nothing to do about it.

Kujo Sharo quickly walked through the courtyard and came to the general's palace. The Okukatsuya at the gate let her in after a symbolic question and entered the main hall.

The general in the furisode kimono was sitting in front of the file, processing the official documents expressionlessly, and there was a low air pressure all over his body.

"Master General—"

She respectfully knelt down on one knee, as a courtier.

"What's the matter?" The general didn't raise his eyes, but still lowered his head to deal with the adjustment of Liyue's policy. His long satin-like hair was tied into a big braid, and half a crescent moon-like hair fell beside his eyes, as cold as ever. There is a tear mole on Hanshuang's delicate face, which doubles that Yamato Nadeshiko-like charm.

"I hope to take your highness out to relax, she... is a little unhappy."

To tell the truth, Jiujo Saluo didn't really want to report with loose vocabulary, but this general has the power to read people's hearts. Rather than organizing the language for a long time and being smashed by her, it is better to say what he wants to say.

"...Didn't she just go out the day before yesterday?"

The general paused, and finally raised his head to look at Jiujo Shaluo, and asked indifferently.

At the beginning, Jiutiao Shaluo really didn't know how to answer the words. After all, the general's attitude towards His Royal Highness was very sick even from the mother's point of view. Tragedy, but if this is the reason to restrict the freedom of the little highness, it is too pitiful anyway, isn't it?

"Although this is the case, Your Highness has no friends in the castle tower, and I feel uneasy. If it continues, it may not be suitable for your Highness's growth... So, I beg for your approval, General."

Now no matter what, I have to bite the bullet and continue, Jiutiao Saluo bowed her head deeply and begged.

"..."

General Lei Dian closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his beautiful eyes like wisteria flowers, and ordered in a tone that could not be refused.

"Let her go out for an hour after finishing her homework this week."

"Yes." For Jiutiao Saluo, although she couldn't win the opportunity for the little highness to go out directly, she still had some hope, and insisted that if the little highness cheered up, he could finish his homework in a day, so she took the lead. Life retreated.

As for refuting or pleading again, Jiujo Shaluo will not do it, which is tantamount to disobedience to the gods, and the general's will is the mission she needs to implement.

"By the way——" Just as Jiujo was about to get up and leave, the general said again: "How about the list of Heart Flower boarders?"

"At present, there are thirteen newly confirmed cases. The address and name are all registered in the register, and they are currently waiting for the next ceremony in Tianling."

Jiujo Shaluo said respectfully again.

"Be prepared, don't make any omissions. Matters related to the ceremony will speed up the execution of the ceremony. As the grand ceremony at the end of the year is approaching, the third execution will need to organize several more searches."

The general made arrangements steadily, but at the same time, he seemed to see something, his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Immediately stood up.

"Yes, General...?"

Jiutiao Shaluo looked up when he heard the sound, with doubts on his face.

"I'll go out for a while and take His Highness to the Great Imperial Palace."

"...Okay, okay."

Is it this time again, but the flower of heart has not been picked yet, why did the little highness be allowed to go there so early?

Jiutiao Saluo pursed her lips, feeling even more worried about the little Highness in her heart.

What made the general act with such urgency again?

And at the moment at Narugami Taisha Shrine, the maiden with cherry hair stretched her waist in the face of the cherry blossoms and the warm wind, the half-white white on the side was slightly rippling. one red.

"The wind from a foreign land brings flowers, it seems that Dao's wife is going to be in turmoil again."

Yae Kamiko seemed to be pointing, and another voice responded naturally: "Are you going to help them?"

"Hmph~ Why can't I help myself?"

"Even if you will be struck by lightning?"

"..."

After making some difficult choices, Yae Kamito sighed helplessly and nodded.

"Then I'll do the same."

"Hey, I thought Master Zhen would stand firmly with Ying."

"Externally this is the case, but internally I owe that child a lot, so no matter what, I plan to help her first. It would be best if she can accept Ying and the general's approach."

"Yes, this dream that has been pursued for so long should also end."

Yae Kamiko's eyes are full of nostalgia, it has been a long time since she and Ying made the little highness together, and the flowers of heart that have been injected into her body are countless.

But it always seems like a bottomless pit, and it disappears quickly, not to mention that those qualified Heart Flowers are very rare, too many Heart Flowers cannot be formed, which cannot be stopped by manpower.

The past is vivid, and it also makes people lament the difficulty of resurrection.

Maybe it's time to end now, Ying's will has fallen into paranoia, but... I hope Qi can accept such a thing.

She couldn't help but sigh faintly.

——The girl is praying——

"What do you mean when you said that half of the flower of your heart is on me?"

Ying looked at this young man who claimed to be a ronin warrior, and felt unexpectedly familiar. It would be better to say that if he changed his hair color, he would really look like Brother Long.

"And from the way I look at you, you seem to know the flower of heart very well."

"No, I can't talk about understanding. If I insist, I have only been taken care of by the flower of the heart. In addition to the national conditions, I can say a few words under the influence of my ears and eyes."

Wan Ye said with a little nostalgia.

"Yo, what are you talking about?" Ying said in a timely manner.

"Why does it sound like you're talking about cross talk?" Paimon asked puzzledly, puzzled.

"The flower of the heart is a very honorable symbol in Dao Wife. Anyone who owns it needs to report to the Heavenly Territory, and present it to His Royal Highness under the ceremony performed by the general and Yae Palace Secretary."

"Your Highness?" Ying felt her eyelids twitch.

"She is the general's younger sister. Her name...has never been announced, and she is always called Little Highness Lei Dian, or Little Highness."

When mentioning this little highness, the corner of Wanye's mouth smiled wider.

"Traveler, do you think it's..." Paimon muttered in a low voice.

"What does that little Highness you're talking about look like?" Ying asked, enduring the uneasiness in her heart.

"Hmm... Your Highness is exquisite and cute, words alone can't describe it, but she is very similar to the girl you walked with before."

"Really... After all, Thunder God is also an existence with divine power."

Ying sighed.

"It seems that your fate with the Flower of Heart is deeper than I imagined."

Wan Ye said meaningfully.

"Sorry, I interrupted you just now, can you continue the previous topic?"

Ying looked at him apologetically.

But Wan Ye just smiled casually, didn't care, but continued to say: "Of course it's no problem, after all, that's why Big Sister Beidou and I took the initiative to invite you here."

"It is rumored that His Royal Highness can perceive the memory of the flower of the heart, and can also store the flower of the heart, so that it--comes to fruition."

It's getting more and more mysterious.

Ying instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was uncomfortable, as if she had a feeling that she was being targeted, and it became more and more intense.

"Then why did Thor take the initiative to collect these Heart Flowers?" Paimon asked curiously.

"To revive her sister—"

Manyo's eyes became complicated, and at the same time he grabbed his own scarf.

"That is a very gentle god, but now Dao Wife has fallen into the quagmire of paranoia because of that gentle prayer. I should not have told you so early."

"However, someone has already paid the price for this."

On the blue sea level, the waves are gradually rising and falling, and the sky that was originally calm is now full of thunder.

And Wanye's expression also changed rapidly, there was an extremely unstable breath in the wind, and all perceptions told him to run away, even if he threw away his saber and plunged into the sea in extreme embarrassment, he would leave here.

But in the next moment, a cracked door with the evil eye of thunder and punishment opened.
