update icon Updated at 2025/4/16 5:10:12

It is a lone bright moon quietly hanging in the dark and deep night sky.

Under the bright moon, there is a lonely and dreamy castle. At the top of the castle, a lonely princess is quietly gazing at the sky, her inky hair pours down like water in the moonlight with a soft glow.

Twenty-two-year-old Faverland, is the only guard of this princess in the castle

A humble guard that doesn’t have the right to look up at his princess.

A guard that has vowed to always guard the princess who is away from the world.

However, the princess will never look at him, but just forever silently look up at the endless moon.

"Your Highness, why are you unhappy?"

Whenever he asks about this, the princess would faintly glance at him and then avert her eyes.

This, is the most intimate interaction he can have with the princess ......

The gap between the guard, and the princess, can never be overcome.

Faverland knows this very well, so he never dares to ask for anything, but just silently accompanies the princess, until forever, forever... ...

......

......

No ......

it should not be like this.

On his way to the top of the castle for the 17,021st time, Faverland suddenly woke up.

What he wants, what the princess wants, what this lonely and absurd castle needed

For the first time ever, he darted through the door of the princess's chamber, and the sound of he slapping the door against the wall even startled her.

-- Couldn't wait any longer --

Faverland tore off the guard's suit he is wearing, then straightened his body and looked the princess squarely in the face.

Her crystal-clear black pupils were widened slightly from surprise, her eyebrows arched cutely, and the corners of her mouth opened slightly.

Faverland opened his month, exhaled gently, and asked the familiar words once more.

"Your Highness, why are you unhappy?"

The corners of the princess's mouth opened and closed slightly, the she finally spoke out her what is deeply hidden in her heart -

"Because ...... no one has ever dared to meet my eyes."

Faverland and the princess gave a heartfelt smile to each other.

The princess rose from her large bed and bent her body slightly toward Faverland.

"Lord Faverland ......"

"Hmm."

The princess's long black velvet dress glowed in the moonlight.

She wiped the corners of her mouth lightly and made an inviting gesture toward Faverland -

"Would you ...... like to dance with me?"

"...... with pleasure."

He gently took the princess's hand, and a lilting, elegant tune rang around him.

One step, two steps ......

The long black dress of the princess and the slightly tattered robes of Faverland's left long shadows in the moonlight, and brought out many fluttering butterflies in this lonely and dead castle ......

Molly Ann of the Liberty Alliance Vs Faverland of Elysis

End

Loser - Faverland

Cause of defeat - left the field first.

---------- --

So dizzy, so dizzy, so dizzy!!! This old man can spin so well! I almost stepped off the field first if Emile hadn't warned me at the end.

The spell I released on Faverland was a medium rank illusion called Dance of Light.

Its effect is to let the opponent have hallucination, and then it’s the literal effect.

As for what his hallucination is, that's not something I need to think about ......

But ...... recalling the despondent look in Faverland's eyes when he woke up, I still felt guilty.

After all, not every man can show that kind of depressed look ......

Just remember that he looked at me silently, then bowed a big bow and took a crooked step back to the Elysis inner city ......

- ---------- -

For now, the outpost battles of Elysis vs Liberty League and the Lieutenant battles are all over, the final score is 3-3, the final match between Sicya and Cyric, the father and son will be on tomorrow.

After Emile's announcement, Cyric, who had been staying on the high wall overlooking the battlefield, jumped down from a wall nearly 20 meters high and drew something with his fingertips.

Behind him, the Door of Judgement instantly became dust.

The door that blocks Fae and allows only humans to pass through.

The door that symbolizes division and discrimination.

Extinguished into flying ashes ......

"The tomorrow's battle will be held before the magic tower."

Leaving these words behind, Cyric did not look at anyone more than once and stepped on the void and walked towards his crumbling magic tower.

......
