Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Su Lun, Saint of Dawn, stared at Xia Ya's back and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the hall.

She did not follow him immediately, but instead set her eyes on the blond girl opposite her seat.

Aurora was obviously dressed up today, but after entering the lounge, she just silently drank her drink through a straw and secretly observed the conversation between Char and Su Lun without saying a word.

"Long time no see you, Xiao Ai."

Su Lun spoke softly: "I remember you didn't like dressing up in the past. What's wrong today? You've been feeling depressed."

"Moreover, you didn't reply even once to the letters I sent from the Holy Court to Camelot."

She picked up her glass and took a sip: "Didn't we agree to compete fairly together?"

"Now that you are already so far ahead, you have to allow me to work harder..."

The relationship between Suellen and Aurora is complicated.

They are both good sisters and love rivals.

Six or seven years ago, when the three of them lived together in Lukia, Suellen and Alora could be considered extremely close friends, the kind who talked about everything.

Even the overt competition for Char between the two did not affect their friendship.

But when they met again, Su Lun noticed the undisguised feeling of alienation from Aurora.

"It's hard for the high-ranking Holy Maiden of the Dawn, but she still remembers the agreement she made at that time."

The blonde girl Yin Ya bit the straw and spoke coldly.

"Actually, with Miss Saint's current status in the Holy Court, there is absolutely no need to lower her status and force herself to interact with Xia Ya and me because of some past favors."

"Xia Ya, he just helped Miss Su Lun, who was impoverished at the time, to learn enlightenment knowledge and let you become a mechanic..."

"This small initial investment, with the wealth of the Holy Court, I think it can be repaid easily."

"By then we will have settled our grievances, and we will no longer have to force the Holy Maiden to condescend."

Looking at Aurora, who had a distant look on her face and even spoke in a sinister manner, Su Lun finally understood.

What Aurora cares about is not actually her sneaking away from Char. After all, the competitive relationship between the two has been going on for a long time, and it didn't just start at this moment.

What she really cares about is the separation six years ago.

At that time, Selun did not choose to follow Char to the imperial capital of Camelot like Aurora.

Instead, she chose to accept the invitation of the Holy Court and became a candidate for the Saint of Dawn...and finally stood out in the harsh competition and became the Saint of Dawn, who was admired by thousands of people.

In Aurora's view, this is Su Lun's naked betrayal of Char.

Between Char, who was not very impressive at the time, and whose talent had not yet appeared, and Holy Court, Su Lun chose the latter, who had a brighter future.

As for the reason why Su Lun is still in contact with Char, in Aurora's view, it is just out of guilt and he wants to make amends with Char.

"Xiao Ai——"

Looking at the blond girl in front of her who was dressed like a proud swan with her snow-white shoulders exposed, Su Lun couldn't help but sigh and spoke slowly.

Aurora has a good foundation and is a perfect beauty, but when she doesn't wear makeup on weekdays, what people feel more about her is her fierce heroic spirit.

But Aurora wore light makeup today. She was no longer heroic, but more feminine, dressing up to suit her status as the "winter flower" and the eldest lady of the Ingulite family.

All this is because she wants to save face for Xia Ya when she meets her ex-girlfriend.

As Char's current partner, tell Su Lun, the bad woman who abandoned Char for her own future——

Xia's life is very good now, even better than when you were here.

"But, Xiao Ai, you don't really think that I am such a superficial girl..."

Su Lun said quietly: "After becoming the Saint of Dawn, I met many people and witnessed many things. I gained power and status that were unimaginable in the past, and gained the reverence and admiration of many people."

"but……"

Her words were very slight: "For me, the time I cherish the most is always the days when I was in Lukia, huddled in a cheap dormitory with others, and making a living together."

"Every time I come back from the Black Tower, Xia Ya will take me to the bookstore of the Steam School to buy some second-hand magical mechanical enlightenment books..."

"I will never forget that because I had no money to hire a mechanical instructor for guidance, he spent countless nights just by the light of a kerosene lamp, piecing together leftover mechanical parts that no one wanted, and explaining to me the enlightenment knowledge of a machinist... …”

"Speaking of which, he obviously mainly studied classical arcana in the Black Tower. I don't know when Charya secretly learned so much mechanical knowledge."

As he spoke, Su Lun's beautiful eyes flashed with a look of reminiscence.

"Those days were dull, simple, difficult, hard... but fulfilling and satisfying."

"To this day, this memory is also the most precious treasure in my heart. It lasts forever and never fades."

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

"From beginning to end, I was very clear."

"That is, everything named Su Lun, whether it is body, mind, achievements and wealth...or the past and future, belongs to him alone."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Su Lun's maroon eyes: "I can lose my identity as the Saint of Dawn, and I can also abandon my current strength, reputation, and everything I have...but I can't live without him."

Listening to the black-haired girl's words, Aurora's eyes showed a trace of suspicion.

However, the intuition between best friends was telling her——

Su Lun's words at this moment were not false, but revealed his true feelings.

Thinking of this, the alienation in Airola's eyes faded slightly: "Then why did you choose to leave Xia in the first place?"

"Because, I am very greedy..."

Su Lun's words were very small. She raised the glass at hand, carefully opened the mask, and took a small sip.

Then, he stared at his face reflected in the glass.

"What I want is not just to stay with him for five or ten years... but to stay with him until the end of my life."

"So, I have to say goodbye to him."

"The separation is for a better reunion in the future."

While speaking, Su Lun took a deep look at Aurora in front of him.

"Xiao Ai, do you know? Sometimes, I really envy you."

"You are different from me. You are Char's first companion and the most reliable sword and shield in his hands. He regards you as the most trustworthy and considerate little cotton-padded jacket..."

"So many times, you don't have to think about so many things. You just need to stay with Xia Ya all the time, carry out his instructions unconditionally, and overcome obstacles for him."

"But I'm different. I haven't experienced those things in Ceylon... I'm not in the same position as you. I have more things to consider. What you already have requires me to put in more effort to fight for it."

"But no matter what, only one thing is certain."

Su Lun just stared at Aurora's beautiful blue eyes calmly, without giving in.

"The feelings I have for him, even compared to you, are by no means inferior."

"Even if I can't be by his side like you..."

"Even if this relationship costs several times, or even dozens of times."

The air seemed to stand still at this moment.

Beside the window, a lazy and noble white cat looked at the two girls looking at each other at the table, flicked its tail in displeasure, and meowed.

There was a slight tingling in the cat's meow.

Again, here comes another.
