517 The Preparation (1/2)
Camil's face was rather cold, but her eyes were shining with wisdom. She said straightforwardly,
”You're always happy when you see him. You always share lots of topics with him, but you still feel good even if you two are not talking. Simply being with each other is sweet enough. And you keep mentioning him when talking to me.”
”You fancy him turning into a female. Is that normal?”
”For him, you chose not to stop the night watchers; For him, you faced great dangers and temporarily put aside your responsibilities. You distracted Prince Dracula for him; you protected him from Demigod-lich. You call yourself his friend?”
Natasha was totally shocked, ”But… but he's a man. I've been helping him because we are good friends!”
Camil's blue eyes stared at Natasha until Natasha started feeling a bit uneasy, ”True. You're a knight and you help your friends. But how have you been feeling? You were once in love before, so you should be able to tell.”
Natasha started walking back and forth in the room restlessly.
Suddenly, she strode towards the door.
”Wait!” Camil did not expect this. She was worried that if Natasha would do something extreme, say, killing Lucien or hurting herself.
Camil softened her voice to comfort her, ”Natasha, love comes regardless of sex. You always told yourself this, right? It just happened that you fell in love with a woman, but this time, it's a man. Don't panic.”
As she was saying this, Camil was also a bit worried. She was worried if she just picked the wrong time to tell Natasha everything, if she would disappoint the grand duke.
Natasha slowly turned around, but the look on her face was full of joy.
Her eyes looked gentle and her cheeks flushed. There was great excitement between her brows. At this moment, she looked absolutely stunning.
Camil was so surprised that she became speechless. She felt that Natasha had somehow changed.
After encountering Demigod-lich, Natasha kept falling into confusion from time to time. But now, probably because she had found her new target, Natasha was no more at loss, instead, her eyes were shining with determination!
Natasha grinned, ”Aunt Camil, don't worry about me. I'll work hard for my own happiness!”
”What…?” Now it was Camil's turn to feel lost.
Did Natasha already accept the fact within such a short period of time?
Natasha's clenched her right hand, she said with great determination, ”I'm a knight. I don't dodge when there's a problem. I seek solutions.”
Her voice gradually rose,
”My faith is to move forward, forward, forever. I'm going to defeat all the barriers in front of me!”
”No matter how he will respond to this, I'll not yield. I'm gonna tell him how I feel about him, defeat him, conquer him!”
That was the declaration from Natasha.
Camil should have thought about this as well. And so she had kind of expected this result.
Natasha grinned. Her left hand reached into her pocket. The small laurel box containing the godhood of the God of Love and Beauty was in it.
Natasha decided to be the one to solve the problem.
...
Lucien did not have to analyze Evans' Freezing Ray since he was the one who created the spell. After managing to control the fast-growing spiritual power, Lucien had built the structural model of the spell within his soul and became a seventh circle sorcerer.
Pushing open the window, watching the garden shining in the warm sunlight, Lucien's heart was full of joy. He was becoming stronger and stronger, the situation of the world was now relatively settled, and the lady he loved had come all the way to him. Although there were still many difficulties, things were heading to the positive side.
The monocle he was wearing was getting a bit hotter. Knowing that someone was contacting him, Lucien turned it on.
”Lucien, you know where I am right now?” It was Natasha's voice.
Lucien smiled, ”You can't be in Allyn, right?”
”Haha, I'm at Holm Royal Magic Tower.” said Natasha proudly.
Lucien was quite surprised, ”Holm Royal Magic Tower? You don't care about the Church? They may overreact to it.”
”No worries. I have to comfort the Liberals here, for what happened. It was the Church's bad, and they have to understand and support me.” said Natasha half jokingly using the tone of a queen.
Words escaped Lucien's lips, ”Then on June 25th can you…”
”On June 25, are you available…” Natasha asked him simultaneously.
They both stopped, and smiled.
According to the custom in this world, birthday celebration lasted for more than an entire day, from the night before to the next early morning.
