Only then, with tears blurring her vision, did Lacey release Shad:
Were all those involved in tonight's assassination attempts ordinary people?
"They were all ordinary people. Although some of the bullets used by some of them were defective, this was still an assassination attempt by ordinary people, which is why the Church intervened after receiving information from Fatummister Island."
Strictly speaking, apart from my casting of the spell, no one else performed any operations involving spirits or elements. If Mr. Snake's connection to this matter hadn't been established, the Church of the True God would have had absolutely no reason to intervene.
Lacey was very worried:
"If the Tyranny Club makes another wish to Mr. Snake, then next time Shad probably won't be there to rescue him."
Luvia, however, believes there is absolutely no need to worry about this:
"That snake's power must have limitations; it can't be unlimited. At least in the short term, I don't believe a second assassination attempt will occur. Otherwise, if it found someone with enough hatred for the world and made them make endless wishes at a frequency of once every ten seconds, the world would have been destroyed long ago."
What we should be more worried about now is that 'Lion of Anjou'. The information the church found on the island is incomplete; no one knows whether the [Tyranny Club] only wishes to assassinate one king or both. Lacey, Margaret is probably more anxious than you, after all, the Tobesk affair is over, but Velendel will likely have to worry for a long time.”
Reassured by her words, Laceya smiled and said to Shad:
"In a sense, Shad, you have successfully saved the world before the final chapter of fate. Although mortals are destined to die, given the current world situation, Larus III absolutely cannot die now."
What happened at the Yordle Palace tonight will surely trigger a violent reaction throughout the Old World tomorrow. But it's already late, and Shad has no intention of staying up to think about these things. Although Luvia is still in high spirits, Shad tells everyone to go and rest first.
Luvia, of course, did not leave. So, when the lights of St. Teresa's Square went out and people and cats gradually drifted off to sleep, Shad once again entered that apocalyptic dream.
Now that March has begun, and Shad has already met Adele, Luvia with long hair once again saw her lover on the rooftop.
The story of fate has come to an end, and the long-haired girl doesn't have much to say this time. After nestled in Shad's arms, she wanted to linger, but Shad, having experienced the assassination attempt tonight, had many questions for her:
"Luvia, in all the stories you've heard, did King Larousse III die in this incident? If I hadn't been there, I can hardly imagine how he would have survived the assassination attempt."
Shad already knows that the past-life Adelina ultimately unified the Old World, but the little princess cannot ascend the throne without her father. Therefore, either Adelina took action, or Larus III died unexpectedly; the latter seems more likely.
The past cannot be revealed too much to the long-haired girl and Adele, but fortunately, Shad is getting stronger and stronger, and the questions he asked this time only involve ordinary people, and are not even related to the story of the chosen ones:
"Most of the time, Larousse III didn't even live to see the end of the story. There are just too many things in this world that can threaten the lives of ordinary people, and in an era when the power of the Church was greatly weakened, the safety of the royal family was also difficult to guarantee."
As the long-haired girl felt the warmth of Shad's soul, she spoke softly. Shad gazed at the black sun hanging in the sky:
"So tonight's assassination wasn't inevitable?"
“Shad, the only thing that is certain to happen is the story of the thirteenth act of the Whispering Poems; everything else can be changed—this is something I understood during the Second Sixth Age.”
Although she was only inquiring about the past Larousse III, the information she revealed still wove together the sorrow and horror of an era in which outsiders were no longer present.
“There’s one more thing. Yesterday afternoon, Claire told me about her promotion. She had a conversation with the self that was killed by her destined death, and the corpse said some things.”
“That’s not an illusion. The Claire Reinhardt I knew died like that.”
Luvia didn't really want to talk about this topic. Countless people had died in the stories of the chosen ones in the past, but the death of the Great Witch of the Sun was one of the few things that made the long-haired girl feel heartbroken.
"The tree hole and the lost fate led her to an unexpected place outside of time and space, and the card you brought back from the past anchored her to a point in time. She didn't go to that non-existent time and space; it must be that the corpse came here for some unknown reason. This is the only thing that puzzles me about this matter; there must be other forces involved."
"In fact, I encountered the [God of Mist]."
"That makes sense."
The long-haired girl said this, and then, unusually, added a word of advice:
"Be nicer to Claire, and protect her mist goddess. Did she help you at Love Lake as well? Are you two that close?"
"That's a difficult question for me to answer."
Regarding the impending final battle in the story of destiny, Luvia didn't have much to say. Resurrection, miracle—now that Shad had secured the first two rings, she believed the third ring was no longer a problem.
"You will surely forge your own ring of destiny. At the final moment of every battle of destiny, the participants will suddenly forge their own ring of destiny for various reasons. Some have broken through their inner confusion, some have glimpsed their future destiny, and some are simply lucky."
Even I don't know whether it was the violent tremors of the Web of Fate in the final act that made it easier to condense fate, or whether the manifestation of Mr. Snake's true form allowed mortals to glimpse the essence of fate. But Shad, if others can do it, you certainly can too.
As the two held hands and looked up at the black sun, Shad didn't forget to ask Luvia what her fate was:
"The Fool is the first link. When the time is right, I will return the half of Nobility. This is your second link."
Shad's right hand held Luvia's right hand, and the purple-eyed girl leaned against Shad's chest. Both of their right hands were glowing with a purple light.
"So, Luvia, will your third Ring of Fate also materialize on its own?"
Luvia shook her head:
"【Nobility】is the destiny that is condensed by oneself. As for the third ring, you don't need to worry, I will definitely get it. Even if others can't get a new ring of destiny, I will definitely get it."
Xia De then did not ask any further questions:
"So, regarding the words of the High Ring Ascension, was the first half of the phrase you possessed in the past also 'The Fool Who Destroys the World'?"
“With each new Sixth Age, my Ascension Words will change. The Fool Who Will Destroy the World appeared once before, but the second half of this time will certainly not be the same as before.”
Luvia said, then added in a low voice:
"The first part of the story I experienced, the first half of Gao Huan's words of enlightenment, was this. The complete sentence is: 'The fool who destroys the world, the hope who shatters the world.'"
Destruction, world, fools, brokenness, hope—at the time I didn't understand what it meant, but now it seems that perhaps from that moment on, fate foresaw the consequences of everything I did.
"But fate didn't foresee my arrival."
Shad whispered in her ear that the black sun with its fiery rays hanging in the distance in the dim yellow sky was just a figment of Luvia's dream, but it still gave Shad an incomparably terrifying feeling.
"The Oracle Square in the mountain ruins meets the conditions for summoning you, and you must have defeated Mr. Serpent. If possible, I would like to summon you again this time. It's worth paying the price of some luck."
The long-haired girl, held in Xia De's arms, did not object. She looked at the sun with Xia De for a long time before softly saying:
"So, what do you plan to do with the God of Misfortune? What exactly is the purpose of that god's promised descent?"
Shad smiled:
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle matters concerning the gods. The fate of the apocalypse, the arrival of evil gods, and the twilight that is eroding the material world—I will resolve all of these."
"So what are you most worried about right now?"
She asked again, and Shad rested his head on Luvia's shoulder:
"What is the truth about myself, the truth I saw after the fall?"
(Mia is running.)
The newspapers early Tuesday morning didn't report the attack on Yodel Palace, but no one doubted that the news would spread to every corner of the world within a day. The citywide curfew had been lifted, and apart from a small number of people in the heart of Tobesque, most of the city's residents were still unaware of what had happened the previous night.
During breakfast, Luvia asked Shad if he was leaving Tobesk today:
“If you get involved in this kind of thing, the church will definitely come to your door to inquire. Will it be a problem if you're not home?”
“I spoke with Lacia’s father last night. He will tell the church that the inquiry must take place at the Yordle Palace because he and I discussed some confidential matters before the assassins appeared. Once the church contacts me, Galina will immediately send a notification to Fatummont Island, and I can simply return the crystal slipper.”
Luvia rested her chin on her hand, watching Shad across the table examining the letters. Dorothy, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and said:
“Then I’d rather go to the snow mountain with you. If the church really wants to find you, let Galina go to Lacia. That’s easier than her entering the council.”
"Of course, that's no problem. But speaking of which, the final battle is about to begin, and we'll need the long-delayed Red Butterfly Day again, which will require you and Lacey to appear together."
Shad recalled what Ms. White had said about "special fate." Luvia then got up to fetch breakfast for Dorothy. He hesitated for a moment, holding Miss Godd's letter, and then said to Dorothy:
"I might say some strange things, but you have to agree to my next request."
The blonde girl then joked with Luvia beside her:
"Did you guys play Command Game last night? Look, Shad hasn't had enough yet~ No problem, go ahead and say it."
“I promised you I wouldn’t do what I did during the Battle of Moon Bay again, but you have to promise me you won’t try to merge your soul with Lacia again. I’m not talking about the Chosen One form, I’m talking about the most primal form.”
