The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess
Chapter Summary
The reason she's been hiding from me and not telling me the truth is because she's afraid that if I saw her face, I wouldn't like or hate her, and perhaps then I wouldn't even have the courage to live... Honestly, if I could, I would almost hope that she and the goddess Lanis would live to go to another world and save the world again, rather than that she would die because of me. I already feel that this body is not doing well, but if I am just going to wait to die here, I might as well use this...
"Why……"At that moment, I was stunned.
Logically speaking, I was puzzled.
Our reunion should have been a hug or even a kiss, but now I was separated by this wall...
I couldn't touch her at all.
This is something I really find hard to accept.
"I'm sorry...
Ivy, I can no longer show you my true self.
"At this moment, the goddess Herilia actually apologized to me, and her voice was extremely low, as if she had no intention of living anymore.
"What's wrong, Herilia?
What happened to you?
What happened after you were injured protecting us?
Tell me quickly!
"At that moment, I got a little anxious and yelled at her loudly.
Because she won't tell me anything...
and I'm really worried about her, I'm really afraid she'll commit suicide in front of me...
I don't know if I'll be able to control my emotions then...
"So you've already heard about it from Lanis...
"Upon hearing this, the goddess Herilia suddenly felt relieved.
She felt much more at ease, because she now knew everything, except for the question of whether she would live or die.
"Yes, so, can I come closer to you...
because I really miss you.
"Honestly, I don't know why, but I feel like crying.
Actually, I feel that even if you can meet in person and know that the other person is still alive, but you can't touch them, that's even more painful.
“Ivy…actually, I’m quite ugly now, I’m afraid I’ll scare you…”At this point, Miss Herilia finally confessed to me.
"Ha...
I don't care about that, because I know that you are the gentlest and most beautiful sister in the world, and I have always thought so from the beginning.
"It seems the powerful magical explosion unleashed by the Black Dragon God last time may have disfigured her...
The reason she's been hiding from me and not telling me the truth is because she's afraid that if I saw her face, I wouldn't like or hate her, and perhaps then I wouldn't even have the courage to live...
"Really?
"At this moment, Herriadya turned her face towards him with some doubt.
But I still can't see her face clearly...
"Yes, really, I swear, if I dare to lie, may I die a horrible death!
"As I spoke, I raised my finger and then held it high above my head to swear a solemn oath.
Actually, the goddess Herria is an indispensable deity in my life.
Without her, I might not be standing here at all, and I wouldn't have such a wonderful harem.
Honestly, the person I am most grateful to is her.
Ever since the goddess Lanis told me that the goddess Herilia would never see me again, I haven't been able to calm down.
And now that I can still see her, still use her magic, and still talk to her normally, that's really enough.
Then, a gust of wind blew by, messing up my hair and blocking my view with my long hair.
Then the thick fog around us gradually began to dissipate.
Then a small, thin figure hugged me tightly.
Yes, it still had that faint, sweet fragrance.
Although it didn't have that soft feeling as before, I knew it was the goddess Herilia who had embraced me.
Ah, this feeling is so wonderful!
I really hope that the goddess Herilia will never leave me and will always be here waiting for me.
Because, in any case, she is the most important benefactor in my life.
At this moment, I slowly opened my eyes, only to find a scene that left me speechless.
That's right, although the goddess Herylia was wearing the same dress as before, all her exposed skin was now wrapped in thick bandages, including two-thirds of her face...
"Isn't it ugly?
"At this moment, she slowly released me, and then a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Not ugly, of course not ugly, Herilia, you've always been the most beautiful in my heart (although my Lira is definitely number one in my heart...
)""Haha, Ivy, you really know how to make me happy.
"At this moment, the goddess Herilia slowly left me and stood about half a meter away from me, then turned her back to me again.
It seems she has already cast aside her inner worries and troubles.
Because I am willing to accept her, and I don't dislike her, and at the same time, I still like her.
This was actually the best comfort she could find.
"Herreria!!!
"Just then, a portal with a white glow suddenly appeared, and a very familiar figure walked out of the black hole.
That's right, it's the goddess Lanis.
"Herilia, how can you use magic with your injuries like this?
It's really reckless.
If you're not careful, you'll...
"When the goddess Lanis saw that I was standing next to the goddess Herylia, she immediately realized that we were together.
Her panicked expression instantly returned to normal, and she calmly walked slowly toward the two of us.
Chapter Sixteen: The Goddess Herylia's Wish and FarewellPerhaps, the goddess Lanis never imagined that Miss Herilia would make an exception and use magic to forcibly summon me from my original world to a parallel world simply because she wanted to see me one more time.
This could very well worsen her already weakened condition.
I'm not entirely sure what the specific consequences will be.
"Herelia, you big idiot!
Why did you summon Ivy in this state?!
If anything happens to you, do you know how I'm supposed to explain this to the Supreme God?
"For some reason, the goddess Lanis clenched her fists, swaying her two big, wobbly watermelons, and angrily walked towards the goddess Herylia.
"Do you know that the highest god does not allow us to interfere in the affairs of the lower realms, yet you have done so time and time again?
If this continues, even I may not be able to protect you.
"Although the goddess Lanis really wanted to throw her fist at her, she probably couldn't bring herself to do it.
Since the goddess Herrelia is in this state, if someone were to actually punch her, she might just be killed.
Therefore, she would never do that.
"Feel sorry……""You idiot, you can just leave everything to me to relay, why do you always have to bear it all by yourself?
"Next, the goddess Lanis hugged the goddess Herria tightly, looking quite distressed for her.
“I’m sorry… Ranis, because I really wanted to see Ivy so badly.
After all, she’s the child for whom we paved the way for everything, and the world is counting on her.
”At this moment, a faint smile appeared on the face of the goddess Herilia, but it was bitter and astringent, as if she had some unspeakable secret.
"You idiot...
you big idiot, so what if this world is destroyed?
We can go to other worlds and start over.
""No, Lanis, it's been too long, I don't want to wait any longer.
And Ivy is the child I'm most satisfied with all these years, so even if it costs me my life, I think it's worth it.
""You really are too naive and too foolish.
"And so, the two goddesses hugged for a very long time before slowly letting go.
The goddess Herilia instantly teleported to the seat in front of her, where we first met, and poured the fragrant tea into three delicate teacups.
"Sit down quickly, let the three of us have a good chat.
"At this moment, she smiled and waved to us, gesturing for us to sit down.
Honestly, I do know.
She once told me that her wish was simple: for the three of us to be together, chatting, drinking tea, and enjoying the gentle breeze of the courtyard, living a leisurely and carefree life.
However, the world is about to be destroyed by the Demon King's army and the God of All Evil, so we have all been quite busy and have not been able to do so.
And now, she has finally fulfilled her wish.
We didn't know how long we chatted happily, because in this parallel world, it was always daytime, there was no night, and we couldn't feel the passage of time at all.
As the saying goes, "Three women make a drama," and now I finally understand the meaning of that saying.
"It seems the time is almost up.
"Finally, after chatting and laughing for a long time, the smiling goddess Herria's face instantly turned back into her previous wry smile.
"Could it be...
Herilia, you...
"Suddenly, the goddess Lanis's expression turned very ugly, as if she had sensed something.
Of course, I also have a very ominous feeling that something is about to happen...
That is, it's like Herilia is...
leaving me forever.
Seriously?
A goddess can die...
especially someone who's been so caring and supportive, helping me through tough times and saving me so many times...
At this moment, my heart feels sour, as if a bottle of mixed flavors has been spilled, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty notes all mixed together.
Honestly, if I could, I would almost hope that she and the goddess Lanis would live to go to another world and save the world again, rather than that she would die because of me.
Because I feel that some of them are not worth it.
"Actually...
I already feel that this body is not doing well, but if I am just going to wait to die here, I might as well use this last bit of magic to help you fulfill my wish in this life.
It's just a pity that I will not be able to see whether this world will usher in the light or come to an end.
"At this moment, she slowly stood up, put her hands behind her back, and then looked at the clear sky in the distance with her back to us.
Just then, I could vaguely see that the goddess Herilia's body was beginning to become somewhat transparent...
