Chapter 745 Iphathia Asks About Heuvelrian

Talia's dress was pure white, her figure graceful, but her angelic face was full of blankness.

Her gaze slowly lowered.

She saw that familiar silver hair.

The silver-haired woman's attention was entirely on her now, burying her head and crying bitterly. The sound made Talia's eyes sting.

"Iphathia..."

Talia had always believed that the God-given luck would one day run out, that good fortune couldn't last forever, but longing had never ceased.

A hundred years.

She had been wandering, stopping and going, living in anonymity, traveling across the Northern and Southern continents, witnessing hundreds of springs and autumns, and imagining countless reunions with her sister.

Finally, she met Lan Qi, and her journey took a turn.

She found clues about her sister, met her sister's daughter, learned of her whereabouts, and now, finally, she saw her sister.

Is Lan Qi really her wishing machine...

Can any impossible thing be accomplished by making a wish to him?

She had waited too long for this moment.

She was ready to ignore everything and touch that overwhelming happiness.

But inexplicably.

Talia subconsciously looked at Lan Qi at this moment.

Her once cold golden eyes were now filled with a complex mix of gratitude, bewilderment, and emotion.

She was grateful to Lan Qi for the good things he had brought her, yet she had always claimed that she didn't want too many debts with a human, but she couldn't resist the intense emotions within her.

"Actually, it's normal. As long as your sister, Miss Iphathia, has the same goal as us and is working hard in the Creech Empire, you'll meet her sooner or later," Lan Qi said to Talia, understanding the sudden situation.

They had learned from Miss Aitio's intelligence in the Posen Kingdom that Iphathia was likely in the Creech Empire. Considering Duke Megaera's disappearance and the vampires in the empire's hinterland, Iphathia was likely fighting against the vampires as well. So, it was inevitable that they would run into each other while searching in this direction, since they were both investigating the vampires.

He knew what Talia was shrinking away from at this moment.

It wasn't the shock of the moment of meeting an old friend that she feared, but the fear of losing them again.

Lan Qi gently patted Talia's back, meaning that she shouldn't be looking at him at this moment, but should be looking at her sister.

"..."

"Really, you can just touch my back whenever you want?" Talia complained silently in her heart, but didn't say anything more to Lan Qi.

She gently placed her slender hand on Iphathia's back, hugging her tightly as she had hugged Heuvelrian in the past.

Iphathia was slightly stunned, then continued to hug her familiar sister without hesitation.

"To be honest, I'm always the one hugging you, but this is the first time you've taken the initiative to hug me," Iphathia said, memories uncontrollably flooding her mind.

In her memory, Talia, the flawless demon princess, would take care of her in every way as a sister should, but she was always gorgeous, rational, and charming, with the dignity of an eldest princess, and wouldn't express her emotions as actively as humans did.

"We all change..." Talia stroked Iphathia's head and told her with relief.

Perhaps she would seem much more embarrassing to Iphathia now, but this was the real her, at this stage of her life.

"No, in my eyes, you'll always be that radiant sister," Iphathia shook her head firmly.

She might have a bit of a filter for her sister, but she was sure that this filter would never break, because her sister was just so perfect.

"..."

Lan Qi didn't say anything, but raised his hand to cover his mouth, looking thoughtful and solemn.

But Talia already felt that he deserved to die.

That gesture was so annoying!

He must be barely holding back his smile.

"Sister, are you married?" Iphathia suddenly asked.

She was sure that her sister had become much gentler.

Although her sister's nature was that of a gentle demon, and she had always been good to her, Iphathia felt that her sister was now more like a gentle and virtuous wife and mother, almost no different from humans.

"Of course not!" Talia reacted a little too strongly, and quickly denied it.

"Really..." Iphathia was still close to Talia, murmuring slyly.

Her drawn-out voice seemed to be telling Talia: I understand.

"Really not," Talia assured her.

"Hehe." Iphathia grinned.

To her, her sister was like a mother. From the time she was a demon child, she was brought to the Demon King's Palace and spent time with the adult Talia.

At first, she was very afraid of the Demon King and this seemingly cold sister, but in order to survive and deceive the Demon King, she had to pretend to be attached to this sister, and at the same time turn herself into a useless person, so that the Demon King wouldn't see any ambition in her.

As a result, over time, she found that being a slacker was really great.

Instead, the Demon King couldn't stand her being so useless and began to urge her to act like a princess.

The Demon King had left her, the orphaned child of the defeated Nine-Sealed New King, because he had seen her talent, not because he wanted her to be a shut-in.

The Demon King was also very confused as to what went wrong, and why such a genius had been raised to be a waste, as if she had been infected by a virus.

As for Talia, who knew nothing about this, she always doted on her as a younger sister, day after day, for ten years.

Iphathia's heart was made of iron, but she was still raised with affection.

Revenge and such should just disappear like smoke, and she would just treat spending her life sponging off her sister as her revenge.

That's what Iphathia thought.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last long. The Century Holy War came, the demon race fell apart, and she began to flee all the way, living in anonymity, trying to avoid the limelight, hoping that one day she could meet her surviving demon friends again.

Her demon life was always full of ups and downs. After constantly experiencing gains and losses, seeing hope and despair, she also began to no longer be the lazy, world-weary Second Princess. She had to awaken her long-sealed talent and become a strong person who could change the status quo.

But when she was most desperate, her sister actually found her.

As expected, her sister was still her sister, just like her sister when she was a child.

After a long time, Talia finally reluctantly held Iphathia's shoulders and pushed her away slightly.

"Iphathia, what happened to you?" she asked, staring at the scars on Iphathia's neck.

There were too many things for the sisters to talk about, but Talia was most concerned about her sister's physical condition.

"This can't be explained in a single sentence. We'll talk about it slowly later," Iphathia said, looking away, already revealing her true face.

Her features were very slightly similar to Heuvelrian, but she was cuter and more charming than Heuvelrian, and slightly shorter compared to the taller Heuvelrian.

She subconsciously wanted to raise her collar to cover the scars, because she could already feel her sister's worry and anger, like a parent seeing their child being bullied.

"Mm," Talia could roughly guess that it was related to the vampires, even without asking.

Guilt filled her heart.

While she was enjoying a peaceful life in Ikrith, Iphathia might have been gambling her life with the vampires every day in dire straits.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had let her sister down.

Seeing Talia's desolate eyes, Iphathia roughly guessed what her sister was thinking, but flusteredly didn't know what to say to keep her sister from feeling guilty.

"Don't think like that. You protected Heuvelrian in Ikrith, which is an indispensable prerequisite for our victory," Lan Qi said from the side.

"Ooh." Talia immediately looked up at Lan Qi.

Even if Lan Qi was going to say something rude next, she didn't want to blame Lan Qi this time.

When she was in a good mood, this guy would always make her angry, but when she was really sad, he would be better to her than anyone else.

"That's right. I only need to consider how to fight the vampires on the front line, while you need to consider a lot more things when taking care of Heuvelrian in Ikrith," Iphathia quickly added, gratefully glancing at Lan Qi.

It was good that there was someone here who could comfort her sister, which also let her know what to say.

"Iphathia..." Talia looked at Iphathia again, her voice soft and tearful.

She had always thought that her sister was a child who would never grow up, but her sister had already grown up and was no longer a child who needed protection. She had even become independently strong without her knowing.

"Master, why are you acting like a girl? I'm embarrassed to say anything that might make you angry," Lan Qi secretly thought in his heart, seeing such a vulnerable Talia for the first time.

Correspondingly, he also couldn't imagine what Talia in that cruel fate would become in the other future predicted by the Goddess of Destiny.

"I am a woman, okay?" Talia said with tears in her eyes and a hint of dissatisfaction, grabbing Lan Qi's tie and making him stagger half a step closer to her.

This face-to-face gaze seemed to want him to see clearly whether she was a woman.

"Uh..." Lan Qi awkwardly looked away. Being stared at by Talia so weakly yet forcefully, he didn't know what to say to her for the first time.

He had never felt that Talia's demon pupils were so human-like, like the warm spring sunshine. The tears had washed her eyes to leave only a fresh and refined beauty.

"By the way, Sister, did you come from Ikrith? And did you see Heuvelrian?" Iphathia discovered the key point.

She had thought that her sister had simply come to find her, but she didn't expect that her sister had already met Heuvelrian when she passed through the Kingdom of Hatton, and sounded like she cared a lot about Heuvelrian.

Iphathia had only seen Heuvelrian as a baby.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.

Heuvelrian must have become a beautiful woman.

After starting to fight against the vampires, Iphathia was most worried that those unscrupulous guys would inflict disaster on Heuvelrian in an attempt to defeat her and Megaera.

Fortunately, she had Barton pay attention to the situation in the Kingdom of Hatton. Not only was there no news of the Duchess being harmed, but there were also news about the High Priest Lauren.

Now that she thought about it, with her sister protecting Heuvelrian, it was no wonder that the vampires' claws had failed to harm her daughter.

"Yes, I live with her..." Talia released Lan Qi's tie and nodded.

"What, what does she look like now? What's her personality like?" Iphathia grabbed Talia's arms and asked with concern.

"She's very beautiful, as beautiful as you. I can ask him to draw her for you. Personality, personality..." Talia felt that her vocabulary was insufficient and couldn't find the right words to describe her little darling for a moment, because to her, her little darling was perfect, so she had never considered how to specifically evaluate her.

In the end, Talia could only look at Lan Qi for help.

Lan Qi wasn't omnipotent, but to her, he was omnipotent. She had even been able to find Iphathia, and she was beginning to become superstitious.

"Don't worry, Miss Iphathia. Heuvelrian, her elegance, her keenness, that temperament that mixes melancholy and determination, prudence and decisiveness, that innocence, yet it doesn't prevent her from having a lot of healthy and correct knowledge," Lan Qi said, standing aside with a smile, describing slowly, "And she loves you very much and thinks about you every day."

Unfortunately, he didn't have a pen and paper at hand to immediately draw Heuvelrian for Iphathia to see.

"Wuwu... Thank you... I'm so sorry for Heuvelrian, but she's still thinking of me..." Iphathia said, tearing up again after hearing this.

She knew that she was wrong, and whenever she began to regret it, she became afraid of seeing Heuvelrian, feeling that it was irreparable.

She didn't expect that this kind child was still thinking of her, this irresponsible mother.

Besides the joy in her heart, she felt more pain. She had actually fantasized many times that she would rather Heuvelrian hate her than hope that Heuvelrian still thought of her, which would make her feel unbearably guilty.

"Then, then, does Heuvelrian have a boyfriend? Will she encounter love rivals?" she asked, wiping away her tears and caring.

Heuvelrian was excellent and honest, and Iphathia was worried that her daughter would be deceived by bad men and stolen by bad women.

"..."

The air became very quiet for a moment.

The cat boss, who had just poked its head out of the shadows, looked back and forth.

It felt that Lan Qi and Talia were both frozen at this time.

"Why aren't you talking?" Iphathia asked, her tears wiped away and her eyes much clearer, looking at the two who were speechless.

"She doesn't have a boyfriend yet. I'll help her screen them," Talia replied firmly, her tone without a trace of fluctuation.

"Then I'm relieved. With you personally screening them, Sister, Heuvelrian will definitely find a good man," Iphathia said with a smile, nodding.

"Meow..."

The cat boss's mouth turned into an 'O', and it held back from speaking.

It used to not mind watching the fun and thought that Heuvelrian and Talia didn't have a Shura field (a scene of fierce conflict, especially over love), but now it was starting to get scared.
