"Shad, Shad!"
The voice calling his name woke Xia De up from his trance. He was a little confused about what happened to him just now, but he found another self standing in front of him.
He was startled, and then realized that the mirror in front of him was in his own bathroom. He was wearing a black suit, holding a comb in his hand and seemed to be combing his hair. He still looked so young and handsome in the mirror, and although his face was puzzled, he did not seem depressed at all:
"What am I doing?"
"Shad, are you still not ready? We're going to be late!"
Carina's urging voice came from the living room. Shad put down his comb and walked out of the bathroom. He saw Carina Cavendish, who was wearing a luxurious red dress and a silver crown on her head, with two maids behind her helping to pull the hem of her skirt. She was waiting for him anxiously.
But when she saw Xia De coming out, she smiled and walked forward to embrace her handsome lover:
"You look handsome in anything you wear. Let's go. Tifa and the others are waiting for us downstairs. Today is the big day when Resia becomes king. If we are late any longer, the reporters will completely block all the intersections on Silver Cross Avenue. I don't think you want to fly to Yodel Palace in a high-profile manner."
"Feilesia. Become the king?"
Carina kissed Shade on the cheek, her beautiful golden eyes smiling as she looked at him in the bright sunlight coming in through the window:
"Yes, we have found all thirteen chosen ones. After you materialized the concept of the end of the world, it was attached to the Self-Argumentation Paradox Perpetual Motion Machine, the Lord of All Machines, and the Differential Machine created by the Truth Society, forming the Beast of Doomsday of the Sixth Epoch.
You united the strength of all your friends, gathered the power of civilization and hope, and finally defeated it and restarted the era. Now in the seventh era, the world has stabilized again, and Margaret and Leicia have successively become kings according to the previous agreement between the human coalition and you. Don't say that you have lost your memory now. "
She kissed Xia De again, as if she really enjoyed the feeling, and then gently helped him adjust his bow tie:
"You have now become a great hero who saved the world, and you have been recognized by the Five Gods as the 'Lord of the Future and the Past'. You will surely ascend to the throne and become the Sixth God. Although your status is different, I don't think you have changed much."
After adjusting Xia De's tie, she held Xia De's hand with her hand wearing white lace gloves:
"What are you still in a daze about? Come with me."
"I was just thinking that things that usually appear in dreams will never happen again in reality."
"What are you talking about?"
She said in a reproachful tone, looking several years younger than when Shad first met her. Shad could even foresee what Ajelina would look like in her twenties.
"Let's go, my savior. Margaret, the queen of Carsenrick, has also arrived. Don't you have to meet her before the ceremony? Now everyone wants to meet the new queen of Carsenrick, but you are the only one who has the power to do so at any time."
The two walked towards the stairs. Tifa, smiling, was still wearing the black and white maid dress, standing in the lobby on the first floor waiting for her masters to get in the car.
When Shade stepped out of the door, he saw the sunny Saint Teresa Square. People in gorgeous clothes were moving towards the Silver Cross Avenue, wanting to witness the next queen taking over the crown. There were ropes pulled above the square, with colorful flags hanging on the ropes. In the distance, hot air balloons could be seen floating under the blue sky, and below were banners celebrating Leicia's accession to the throne.
The sunlight was so bright and dazzling that Xia De had to squint his eyes:
"What a nice day! If this isn't a dream,
Seeing that Xia De was standing at the door and didn't get in the car, Jialina urged again:
"Let's go, there's still a lot to do today."
After that, she smiled and whispered in his ear:
"Lecia and Margaret said that they would wear the crown and the queen's dress tonight and fuss you together. My knight, my god king, will you put them together? (Note)"
Seeing Shad turned his head and looked at her in surprise, Carina pointed at Tifa beside her. The latter turned her head slightly, with a shy smile in her dark brown eyes.
"Just like what you did to us at home last night, I knew you had..."
"I know it, Xia De. Even though you don't admit it, you've wanted to do this for a long time, right?"
A new voice came from the house that was supposed to be empty. Shade turned around and saw Luvia standing in the hallway with a smile. However, she was wearing ordinary everyday clothes, not a gorgeous dress for the ceremony:
"Shad, you finally expressed your desire in your dream!"
Xia De's face flushed:
"But this is a dream. It is a dream that is used to confuse me and make me immersed in this happiness! This does not reflect my thoughts."
Seeing her scrutinizing eyes, Xia De, who didn't want to lie to her, was forced to admit:
"Well, I did have such thoughts. But I am also an adult male with a healthy body and mind. Isn't it normal to have some strange thoughts? There is a difference between thoughts and actions. Even the most stringent laws will not convict you for your thoughts."
After saying that, he coughed lightly and pushed away "Carina" who wanted to pull him into the carriage:
"Luvia, why are you here? What happened outside?"
“It’s like the whole city is in a dream.”
The purple-eyed fortune teller shook her head slightly, her hair draped over her back looking very beautiful:
"It seems to be some kind of area-effect relic related to trees. The time outside is three o'clock in the morning. Green miasma is sprayed into the city. People who are asleep will enter dreams without distinction. People who are not asleep will fall asleep and dream immediately if their resistance is not high."
She raised her head towards Xia De:
"You should remember that Miss Sylvia and Dorothy led people to stay up all night to make the portal, right? Neither of them fell asleep. Just now, Dorothy woke me up when she checked the conditions of each room one by one. So I came to your room to wake you up."
She smiled at Shade:
"Karina in your arms isn't awake yet."
"Luvia, what do you think of me?"
"Jalina" in the dream asked curiously, so Shad waved his hand. As "Tifa" bowed, the sunny scenery of St. Teresa's Square melted away like ink, the azure blue sky was replaced by an endless sea of stars, and those familiar and unfamiliar faces were also erased by the night.
When the huge silver moon fully appeared, the place where Shade and Luvia were standing was already the endless wilderness under the starry sky:
"I admit that the future depicted in dreams is really fascinating."
Xia De sighed, but dreams are false after all. The most false one is the description of the final enemy. The material world is about to usher in the real end of the world. This is caused by the laws of nature and it is impossible to extract concepts and condense them into a certain force.
If the final enemy was just some powerful monster, Luvia wouldn't have "reborn" so many times and still not found a solution. It must not be a specific powerful enemy that made Long-haired Luvia restart the Sixth Age again and again. Shade knew this a long time ago:
"Come to think of it, Luvia, were you woken up by someone?"
"Yes, I am just like your cat. Although I fell asleep, I was not pulled into the dream. In fact, since I became a ring wizard, except for some strange dreams and precognitive dreams about myself, I am rarely affected by the power of other dreams."
She stretched out her hand and drew a door frame in the air, then waved to Shade:
"There is no one awake who is good at dream power, so we can only use the power of the ritual to put me into a dream. Let's go, Karina is touching you directly now, let's go and take a look at their dreams."
In the dream, Shad and Luvia continued to wake up more people, while in the next room separated by a wall, Dorothy called Ajelina's name worriedly, and Ajelina, with a frown, also entered a strange dream.
Because of her random thoughts before falling asleep, the little princess dreamed that at the beginning of the dream she was sitting on a swing in the back garden of Yodel Palace, with Shad pushing the swing for her from behind. She smiled and grabbed the swing chain, swaying because of Shad's movements.
Iluna and Emilia were sitting in a pavilion not far away drinking afternoon tea, looking angry, but no one could get close to them.
But soon the dream began to develop strangely. Shade, who was pushing the swing behind her, disappeared for some reason. Iluna and Emilia also disappeared after the leaves floated past her eyes. The maid who came hurriedly called Ajelina to Resia's room.
"Sister, do you have something to ask me?"
Ajelina jumped off the swing and entered the palace. The maid led the way in front of her. But somehow, Ajelina felt that the room where Resia was now was a little different from the room she remembered. But before she thought much, she walked through the door and saw her sister sitting on the sofa with a haggard face.
Then Ajelina felt that Leicia looked a little different in age than she remembered. A strange sense of disharmony came over her, but she still thought it was just her illusion:
"Sister, is there anything you need from me?"
She asked timidly. The late autumn afternoon sun poured in through the window, onto the blanket covering Lecia's legs and illuminating Lecia's pale skin.
Resia, who looked like she was about to be heartbroken, gave her sister a forced smile:
"Over the years, Ajelina, you have worked so hard for us."
As soon as Leicia finished speaking, Ajelina found herself in tears. She hadn't remembered what she had done in these years yet, but she was so sad that she had to control herself not to burst into tears.
It is so sad at this moment. This late autumn seems destined to take away the most important person in my life.
