Lorna hugged Solandel tightly, buried her head in her soft embrace, and couldn't stop sobbing.

Solandel and Lorna have been playing together since childhood. I have seen Lorna cry because of her mother before, but Lorna usually hides in bed and cries secretly, or sometimes turns away while talking, I wiped my tears secretly, and after wiping my tears, I had a playful smile on my face again.

It was the first time for Solandel to break down and cry like this today. She was young and didn't know how to comfort Lorna further. He could only gently put his face against her head, hoping that his body temperature could give her some relief. Some comfort.

“Ding.” At this moment, the sound of moon coins was heard.

 I saw Kino flicking a silver moon into the air, catching it and playing with it in his hand, spinning it back and forth between his fingers, like a silver butterfly dancing.

Lorna heard the sound and was distracted by the sound. She stopped crying unconsciously and stared blankly at the silver moon being played with by Kino, wondering what he was going to do.

Chino: "Touch your pocket."

Lorna subconsciously touched her pocket, and she was quickly stunned: "Hey, one of my silver moons is missing. When did you steal it?"

Chinuo closed his fingers and pinched the spinning silver moon: "Let me do a magic trick for you. This is a very magical and unexpected magic trick. I only do it once. If you miss it in the blink of an eye, don't blame me."

 Lorna and Solandel looked at the silver moon attentively, vaguely expecting it, wondering what Kino, who always surprised people, would do.

Kino held the silver moon and swung it in the air, making winding traces. Lorna and Solandel were like two cats attracted by the cat stick, staring at the silver moon intently. , the head is also shaking along with the trajectory.

Chino: "This is your money, right?"

Lorna nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Now, I just need to put your money into my pocket." Kino put the silver moon into his pocket, clapped his hands and said, "It becomes my money! Amazing, right?"

 Solandelle: “?”

 Lorna: “??????”

Chino was silent for a while, shrugged, and said, "Okay, I admit that I'm not very good at comforting people."

"You really don't know how to do it!" Lorna couldn't laugh or cry immediately, but after being interrupted like this, her mood slowly eased down. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and showed her usual playful smile again, "I'm sorry, Kino. , I’m crying and making you laugh.”

Chino chuckled and said, "It's the first time I see you crying like this. It's really unexpected."

Lorna grabbed a handful of snow, patted it on her face and rubbed it constantly to cool down her hot little face. She sighed and said: "I don't cry every time I come to my mother's grave, because I feel that if my mother can see me

, she definitely wants to see me laugh more than see me cry."

“Besides, I’m not as unreasonable as everyone thinks. Although I can’t understand what my father did, and I can’t accept it, I’ve always been very clear in my heart that he definitely didn’t mean to kill my mother.”

“I can feel how loving my father and mother were when they were young. When my mother died, I believe he was as sad as me.”

“As for why he didn’t save people at that time, maybe it was like what he said about mother and kingdom, and he could only save one. I have no doubt that this is a lie or an excuse.”

When Lorna said this, the conversation suddenly changed and she said angrily: "But that doesn't affect my hatred of him! He chooses the latter between his mother and the kingdom. That's his business. I'm between forgiving and not forgiving.

If I choose the latter, that's my business. Just because he's right doesn't mean I have to forgive him."

 Solandel gently touched Lorna's head: "No matter what you think in your heart, you must believe that your father will never be a bad person, and he certainly does not want to lose his wife."

Lorna said silently: "Yes, I said, it's his business whether to save him or not. He has the right to make a decision and choose the decision he thinks is right."

“At the same time, I also have the right to hate him because I don’t agree with his choices. These are two different things. He is him and I am me. Don’t confuse them.”

When Lorna said this, she snorted heavily, crossed her arms and said, "At least in my heart, family is more important than the kingdom. If I am asked to sacrifice my family and friends to save the kingdom, I am absolutely unwilling to do so."

“I don’t have such selfless and great ambitions, and I don’t want to be a great hero. I just want to protect the people who are important to me.”

“I can fight for the righteousness of the kingdom and so on, but it must be based on the premise that the important people are safe.”

“If pursuing justice will harm my relatives and friends, I will definitely give priority to protecting them. The kingdom and other things will stand aside!”

Solandel was frightened by such words, and quickly persuaded: "Lorna, don't dare to say these nonsense. You are now a member of the Royal Army and are subject to military law. If these words are heard by someone with ulterior motives, you

You'll get into trouble."

"What can't be said? This is what I really think in my heart!" Lorna put her arms around Solandel's shoulders and raised her chin and said, "For example, if one day the God of Death comes to me and tells me that I

My left hand is the billions of creatures in the Kingdom of Doguland, and my right hand is your good friend Solandel Van Doguland. You can only choose to save one."

"Then I will choose you without hesitation! As long as I can save you, destroy any kingdom or any creature. I just need to protect you. Even if the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the whole kingdom are put together, you will not be able to do anything to me."

important!"

Solandel couldn't laugh or cry at this time. She kept patting Lorna's back and said softly: "Okay, okay, I can understand what you mean, but we can just talk about these things in private. Don't talk to anyone.

People say."

"Okay, I listen to you." Lorna touched Randall's little head and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Solan, Chino and I are both adults now, and you are the only one left among the three.

You are still a child, you have to grow up quickly and 'rendezvous' with us."

Solandel spread her arms and lay carelessly in Lorna's arms. She stretched out her small hands in the snow, as if to grab the entire night sky above her head: "When you say this, I'm really a little nervous. After all,

I'll be 13 next year, and in a few years I won't be a kid anymore, but I always feel like I'm not ready yet."

"What Uncle Sting said to you at the top of the ancient dragon gave me a deep impression, just like he said that adulthood should be a thing to be revered, not a thing to be celebrated, because it represents

As a result, I lost the protection of being a child and gained the responsibility of being an adult.”

“I didn’t have this concept before, but now that I think about it, it’s really stressful.”

Lorna smiled and said: "Then tell your father that you don't want to grow up and want to be a child forever. That's really okay! So what if you stay a child all your life? Anyway, I will protect you in everything~"

Solandel pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes falling on the rag tied to her right wrist. Her gaze became deeper and deeper, as if she had penetrated her memories and was looking at her former friend: "I have to grow up.
