Hate Me, Miss Witch!

The wind and snow stopped suddenly.

Outside the window, the originally silvery white snowfield was also covered by the light of dusk and the night that spread silently.

Through the thin shadow, you can see a quiet forest and a quiet lake in the center of the forest.

Char recognized the scenery in front of him.

Silent Forest.

Not long ago, when he had just entered the First Age, it was in the Ancient Dragon King's Court deep in the Silent Forest that he collected clues about his master and the Lost Island.

Similarly, this was the place where he and Augustina first met, and it was also Augustina's hometown.

Before she broke out of the egg of night and met Char, Augustina had been nurtured in this forest for a thousand years.

The ice field that seemed to be always covered with a layer of blizzard was naturally just an illusory scene woven by Augustina using the skills of dream creation.

This silent forest was her real mental landscape.

Augustina lowered her eyes.

"I want to know, Char..."

"No, Master, your truest opinion of me."

Shadows woven into a gorgeous chair under her body, and the girl in black skirt sat gently on it, waiting for Char's answer.

Char thought for a while and nodded.

"I have dreamed of becoming a dragon knight since I was a child."

"Now that I know your true identity, I want it even more."

His answer was very calm, and there was not much emotional fluctuation.

Hearing Char's answer, Augustina breathed a sigh of relief.

There was joy in her dark golden vertical pupils, but also a little disappointment.

"Is that all?"

She said softly.

"When you are with Xiao Ai, Miss Silvia, and Her Majesty Isadella, you can always say those touching love words anytime and anywhere."

Why is it that when you are facing me, you only describe it in such a simple way?

As the master of the Shadow Council, as the queen of the entire dark world of the Western Continent...

Ogutina first noticed the existence of Char and began to observe him in secret much earlier than Silvia and Isadella.

It started long before he broke through the fourth ring, had not reunited with Silvia, and was still very weak.

When she watched Char and Silvia reunite as a bystander, confiding their hearts and revealing their true feelings to each other -

God knows how envious Ogutina was at that time.

The bitterness in her heart made Ogutina understand the true meaning of the word "loser" for the first time.

It was even more heartbreaking than the famous scene of the three people in the White Album, because at that time, Ogutina had not yet formed a fate with Char, and she didn't even have the position to appear next to him and be jealous.

She also wanted to be the object of the black-haired boy's confession, and wanted to hear the sweet words of love from the person in front of her.

Even though he knew that the confession and love words were false and were said just to please her, it didn't matter.

"Because I can't say it."

Char gently touched Augustina's head.

Under her dark hair, there were majestic horns on her round forehead.

It wasn't until he touched the horns that he felt a little familiar in his memory.

He connected the majestic, mysterious, and powerful Queen of the Night in front of him with the young dragon that lazily lay on his head and flapped its wings from time to time while listening to his story.

When Char touched her horns, Augustina's body stiffened as if she had been electrocuted, and she subconsciously wanted to step back.

But in the end, she suppressed the instinct from her racial heritage and didn't move, letting Char touch her head.

It was the same as the countless daily routines that had happened in that drifting cabin in the star realm many years ago.

"If you really want to hear those sweet love words, I can mass-produce a lot of them anytime and anywhere."

"That kind of thing is just an actor's daily routine for me. I don't know how many times I have done it in the past."

Char stroked Augustina's horns and spoke word by word.

After the equal contract that had been closed for a long time was opened again, Char completely understood the true intention of the Queen of the Night under the cover of the night and shadows.

Although the Queen of the Night World has more titles and reputations than the Chairman of the White Tower, Elvia, in the circle of extraordinary people in the Western Continent, in fact, no matter how much power and status she has, her experience in emotions is pitifully poor.

Because of the long wait, she became inferior and unconfident, but at the same time, she was unwilling to give up the expectation.

Even if Augustina didn't say it, Char also knew clearly what she wanted, and it was already clearly written in her dark golden dragon eyes.

As long as Char casually said a few sweet words that seemed to be affectionate and lasting, the Queen of the Night in front of him would be easily satisfied.

The obsession that had lasted for several epochs was fulfilled, and her body and mind were submerged in the torrent of happiness. From then on, she obeyed Char's words.

"But that would be meaningless."

"Isn't it?"

Char touched her hair again. In the candlelight, Augustina's face was shrouded in a warm halo, with soft lines.

"A long time ago, I said similar sweet words to Sylvia when she was young."

"I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, because at that time, I felt that the remnants of history were just phantoms of the past, and everything I experienced was just an illusory game. That's all it is. No one would hold me accountable in a game anyway.”

"But that is not the case."

"The few words I said casually at that time became the shackles and obsession that trapped her throughout her life."

"Let her be trapped alone in a cold and silent tower, burying herself for five hundred years."

"Sylvia once said that she no longer cares about the fact that I deceived her."

"But to this day, I still regret my actions."

"The cost for a woman to love a man is often much higher than for a man to love a woman..."

"Sometimes, the price is a lifetime."

Xia Ya took back her hand reluctantly and said seriously.

"So from then on, I made up my mind..."

"If it's the enemy, of course it doesn't matter. Since ancient times, war has always been about deceit. In order to win the final victory, I will never hesitate to use any despicable means to win."

"But when it comes to friends and people you care about, it's different."

He smiled: "Actually, the way I judge whether I have truly accommodated someone in my heart is very simple."

"That is, am I willing to lie to her..."

"Although I wanted to give Sylvia a surprise before, I regretted it when I actually acted like I was pretending to have amnesia."

"same--"

Xia Ya looked at the girl in black skirt in front of her: "You are also someone I don't want to fool with lies."

"From the beginning to the end, I really only regarded "Ye" as a simple pet beast. "

“But there is no doubt that ‘Augutina’ already has a place in my heart. "

"This fate may have started in Esgania in the third era, when you and I stood side by side in front of Isadella, the king of the Utopia, and the incomplete scarlet moon."

"Maybe it started earlier. It started as early as the Borgia family dinner, when you killed Guderian for me, but even I didn't notice it..."

Xia Ya's answer was very serious, and she stared at the dark golden dragon eyes of the girl in black dress in front of her without avoiding it.

"You are different from Xiao Ai, Isadella, and Sylvia..."

"Needless to say, Xiao Ai, I have been with both Your Majesty and Xi Bao for a long time in the reverberations of history, and I have a sufficient emotional foundation."

"The starting point of fate may be a beautiful, divine encounter, but the cultivation and germination of feelings... takes a long time to catalyze."

"Before, we had only interacted with each other as beast masters and pet beasts, or as customers of the Shadow Council and the landlady...but we had never really gotten along together as men and women."

"At the bottom of the abyss of the First Age, you stayed by my side and took care of me for five hundred years... I have kept all of that in my heart."

"To be honest, I was very moved in my heart, but after all, during that time, it couldn't be said to be a normal relationship between lovers."

"So, I won't talk about those eternal love vows, because they are all false..."

"But I guess it's not that big of a problem."

Chara smiled.

"Since there are no memories, let's create new memories together."

"Since there is no accumulation of feelings between men and women, then slowly accumulate feelings."

"To be honest, it is a new experience for me to establish a relationship first and then develop feelings."

"However, just because you have never experienced it before, you have the novel impulse to try it."

"So, want to give it a try?"

The afterglow of the setting sun is intertwined with candlelight.

In that bright red background, Char stretched out her hand to Ogutina.

"From today on, from this moment on, the relationship is no longer as a pet beast and a beast master, but as an equal relationship between men and women..."

“Get to know each other again, encounter each other, and accumulate memories bit by bit——”

"Meet each other again, get to know each other..."

"Then, fall in love."

The light of the setting sun slowly faded in Augustina's eyes.

The shadows of the ancient giant trees in the Forest of Silence were lengthened little by little, and the last rays of light burned the clouds in the sky into flame-like colors.

In the increasingly dense darkness of the night, Ogutina's eyes had never been so bright.

Tsk.

She sighed.

"Should I say... you are worthy of being my contractor and my master?"

It's clear that Xia Ya doesn't want to lie, or say sweet words, or words of love that will last forever.

However, the words just now left waves in Ogutina's heart.

But it is far more beautiful than those sweet words.

"but……"

"After all, these are just empty words."

"You've made me wait for so many years...Don't think of sending me away so easily."

In Augustina's eyes, the dark golden dragon pupils seemed to have flowing lava surging.

"Since you said so, let's first determine the relationship between each other, and then slowly build up feelings."

"Then, as lovers--"

"Some things that can only be done between lovers can also be done, right?"

Augustina said softly, approaching Char like a kitten.

The pair of dark golden eyes flickered with vigilance, carefully studying Char's expression.

Although he was the Dragon of the Night who had lived in the world since the First Age, at this moment, it was the first time she was so close to someone...

In the information collected by Augustina, Char's strongest point was neither his talent nor his character...even though Char had surpassed most of the legends and thrones in these areas.

His strongest ability was disguise.

By using disguise, he could deceive powerful enemies in the remnants of history, and even mythical creatures with status far higher than Char himself could be overturned in his hands, such as Norton, Guderian, and Vermillion Moon...

So Augustina was not sure whether Char's current words were also a disguise, a perfunctory one.

She was afraid of being rejected.

The distance between the two was only one step away, but Augustina walked for a long, long time.

Until the boy in front of her opened his arms and hugged her.

At this moment, the candle went out.

The faint night color enveloped the silent forest again.

They had hugged before.

As early as the beginning of this dream, Augustina woke up in Char's arms.

But at that time, she was in the identity of Aurora.

Her heart was full of tension in pretending to be someone else, and the possessiveness twisted by obsession. Every move had to be considered repeatedly, just to replicate the words and deeds of the blonde girl.

And it was definitely not like this now.

Relaxed his mind and opened his heart.

That hug was warm.

It was far better than what Augustina had imagined countless times in her dreams.

Crack——

This was the sound of something breaking.

At this moment, Char felt his fourth soul covenant. The soul covenant space that was originally empty and dark suddenly cracked open.

Then there was a bright light.

The fourth soul covenant, 100% fit.

This was something Char had never imagined before.

After all, his fourth soul covenant had always been abnormal and unusable, and he had already made plans to abandon this soul covenant for the rest of his life.

And as the true throne, the pure-blooded dragon of the night that spanned ancient and modern times.

Augustina's soul covenant fit reached its peak, which also brought Char an unimaginable increase.

After experiencing those five hundred years, he had been stuck for a long time and could no longer make any progress, but he actually made another step forward.

"Even if it's just in your dream now, it doesn't matter..."

"I want the proof that we are lovers."

The ethereal voice sounded in Char's ears, and the delicate body in his arms became hotter and hotter.

The snow-white arms hugged Char's neck, and her breath was as sweet as orchid.

She whispered in Char's ear:

"Tonight, be my dragon knight."
