Chapter 3693 Adelina's Dream
No lights were turned on at No. 6 St. Teresa's Square despite the commotion outside. After a moment, Shad lowered his voice and said to the princess and maids:
"It seems the Church's Ring Warlocks are on a mission in St. Teresa's Square, but not on our side. Something happened in our neighboring area, diagonally across the square. Judging from the elemental reactions, the leader is at least eleventh Ring level, so something serious must have happened nearby."
The last time Place Saint-Denis witnessed such a serious incident on a night like this was the "Dice Story Collection" incident in the autumn and winter of 1853:
"I'm not sure if this is about collecting relics or hunting down cultists, but it's none of our business. The church's forces have the situation under control, so let's just pretend we don't know anything about it."
Lacey stood in the bedroom doorway, somewhat worriedly putting her arm around Adelina's shoulder, who was still clutching her pillow. Both princesses now had their long hair down, and were looking at the same person:
"They probably won't knock on our door in the middle of the night, will they?"
"Probably not. Even if an investigation is conducted afterward, it will be done after dawn, unless it's a special case like a plague in the snow mountain."
He turned away from the curtains:
“You don’t need to leave this house. Even if someone comes to the door, I’ll just open one of the doors for you and you can hide inside for now. However, we don’t know what it’s about yet, so let the three maids stay in the side bedroom next door. Lacey, let Agelina stay in this room as well.”
This was tantamount to announcing the "end of nightlife," but Lacey didn't complain about it:
"Okay, anyway, your bed is big enough, which is an unexpected benefit."
As she spoke, she went to arrange for her and Adelina's maids, instructing them not to sleep too soundly tonight. Shad hesitated for a moment, then added:
"Mia and I will sleep on the floor."
"Meow?"
The cat turned to look at Shad, and Lacey was also dissatisfied:
“Shad, this is your home. If other people find out I made you sleep on the floor, what will they think of me? Besides, why are you trying to avoid us? You're with Grace and Helen.”
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Lacey then instructed the maids to tidy up the bed in the room; Tifa and the others had neatly stacked, brand-new bedding in the wardrobe. Once everything was tidied, the house returned to its peaceful state. Adelina, who had felt dizzy ever since Lacey said "together," only now realized that she wasn't lying next to her sister, but...
She gripped the edge of the blanket with both hands, staring intently at the ceiling, feeling that this night was truly magical.
"Meow~"
Then she heard Mia meow; the cat was clearly unhappy that the little princess had taken its place.
Overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation, Adelina closed her eyes early, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. With her eyes closed, her other senses were heightened, allowing her to clearly hear the gradually even breathing of Shad, Mia, and her older sister beside her.
Of course, she could also sense the slightest sounds outside the window.
“One day, I want to sleep alone, instead of sleeping in this bedroom with my sister.”
Adelina harbored her own ambitions, and she believed that day wouldn't be too far off. Lying in bed, she initially hesitated to move, but gradually began to shift her stiff fingers and body. Finally, as she drew closer to Shad, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"I must show off to Iluna and Emilia later."
So she gradually fell asleep amidst all sorts of strange thoughts. In her dream, she seemed to hear the clatter of dice hitting the ground, and then she saw a thick, strange white mist.
She walked alone through the white mist for a long time, and as the mist finally dissipated, she found herself standing in a room resembling a dilapidated castle palace.
The room had a very high ceiling, and on the huge bed in front of her, a somewhat familiar-looking "giant" was opening his eyes and looking down at her from above.
"Huh? Isn't that me?"
Adelina thought with amusement, not feeling fear, but rather amazed that if the other person's body were scaled down proportionally, their height would seem to far exceed her current height:
"Did I dream about my future self? Will I grow taller in the future?"
But "Agelina," lying on her side on the huge bed, asked in a somewhat weary voice:
"Adelina Cavendish, what is your destiny?"
The little princess blinked, feeling that the question was too profound for her at her current level:
"I don't know. As long as my sister and Xia De are by my side, I'm fine with anything."
She gave an uncertain answer, and then the tired but exceptionally clear voice asked again:
"Having passed through the fog of chaos, and met me under the guidance of fate, do you not even know what you want?"
Adelina tilted her head, looking at her "grown-up" self:
"I know what I want: my sister and Shad are here. Nothing else matters, whether it's good fortune or misfortune, poverty or wealth, or even if the world really ends, I don't care."
My sister and Shad are the truly important people to me. I know even my mother will leave me one day, but they promised they would always be with me.
An eighteen-year-old girl looked up at her future self:
Are you not satisfied with this answer?
Adelina, with her enormous body and a bronze crown on her head, answered:
"The God of Chaos summoned the mist, shrouding thirteen sanctuaries. Your ability to traverse the mist signifies that you have begun to touch upon your true talents. Go forth, for you do not yet understand the power you possess, nor the destiny that awaits you."
Chaos is not simply disorder; it is the authentic state of nature, untouched by human intervention. It is the cause of everything, and the effect of everything. Go, Adelina, one day you will understand.
"Wait a moment!"
Adelina immediately shouted:
“I’ve seen similar scenarios before. Next, I’ll probably wake up, open my eyes and see Xiaomia stretching, and then realize that I had a strange dream, but I don’t remember what happened in the dream.”
Since you seem to know a lot, why not give me more information? For example, now that fate is unfolding, what can I do to help my sister and Shad?
Adelina wasn't sure if she was dreaming or something else entirely. After a moment of silence, the queen, reclining on the enormous bed, whispered:
"Royalty and war, the third fate that should follow is 'loss'. You spend your whole life trying to grasp what's around you, but you will keep losing what's important around you until you can't keep anything at all, and all your efforts are in vain."
But fate has changed. Moonlight not only left behind the twins chosen by the world to save it, but the audience below the stage also turned their attention to you. This time, at least you won't lose this one. Yes, your sister neither left in one possibility nor went crazy because of her departure in another. Your sister will protect you from the wind and rain.
You have already attained a happiness you've never experienced before; you no longer need to challenge that damned fate. Fate has changed; the third fate is yours to choose. Adelina, what is your greatest hope for the future?
The little princess can answer this question:
"To save Shad with Emilia and Iluna!"
"Redemption?"
Queen Adelina Cavendish sat up on the enormous bed and opened her arms in a gesture of embrace. Adelina was somewhat taken aback, given the vast difference in their sizes.
But then she was surprised to find that the embrace was getting closer and closer, and she was actually being held in the other person's arms:
"Am I getting bigger, or is she getting smaller?"
Adelina and Adelina embraced tightly, and then the petite Adelina was gently kissed on the forehead by the relatively mature queen.
"Meow~"
A gentle meow woke Adelina from her drowsy state and she saw Mia stretching lazily next to her head.
The cat gave Adelina a clearly disdainful look, then flicked its tail and leaped over her, landing on the ground before leaving the bedroom.
"Oh, it's dawn."
Still half asleep, Adelina finally got out of bed and looked around before remembering what had happened the night before:
When did I fall asleep?
"Adelina, get up quickly if you're awake. We're going back to Yodel Palace for breakfast; the carriage your aunt sent will be here soon."
Wearing a nightgown, Lacia stood at the bedroom door and reminded her, looking like she had just gotten up not long ago.
“Okay, sister. I think I had a strange dream last night.”
Adelina spoke slowly, scratching her long red hair with her hand.
Lacey laughed and asked curiously:
"What did you dream about? Shad? What did you and he do in your dream?"
"It doesn't seem to be Xia De, I can't remember clearly."
The little princess clearly remembered that when she opened her eyes, the dream was still very vivid, but now those memories, like the receding tide, left only faint traces:
"I remember someone kissing me, and it was a woman."
Then she noticed her older sister looking at her with great concern, and Adelina immediately explained:
"No, that's not what I meant. I don't remember, just a faint... sadness?"
As she spoke, she slipped on her slippers and left the bed, still thinking about that forgotten dream as she walked toward the bathroom.
Xiaomia was standing on the back of the sofa. Her cat-like amber eyes glanced at the strange, chaotic-looking kiss mark on Adelina's forehead before she looked towards the stairwell, waiting for Shad to return from downstairs to get the newspaper and goat's milk.
