On the big tree far away from the Goethe Hotel, a green figure was stroking the strings of a piano.

"Think about it, Barbatos."

It was a cool and pleasant voice. If the girl heard it, she would probably pounce on it.

“Hold the God of Liberty hostage with the freedom of the God of Liberty to love others?”

Barbatos lowered his eyes, and the pressure from the two-thousand-year-old god was surging in his eyes.

"You are really becoming more and more authoritarian."

The woman under the tree just looked in the direction of the hotel.

"She won't be anyone's lover."

"She will only be my dependent, my...daughter."

Barbatos chuckled: "I thought you gave her enough freedom and you loved her."

"I didn't expect that the God of Love only controls and possesses his own daughter."

The woman's cold expression did not relax for a moment: "Don't provoke me, all you have to do is stay away from her."

"Well... this kind of commanding tone, don't forget, I am the first generation of gods, you - it's just..."

"So what?" the woman smiled, "The rules of Sky Island are always above you and me, you can't hurt me."

"Similarly, don't even think about getting your hands on my things."

The woman's tone was indifferent and her expression was cold. Only the word "my thing" was spoken very hard, as if the girl was really an object that could be slaughtered, or a puppet wrapped with silk threads under her fingers.

The young man's hand playing the piano finally stopped, and in an instant, a murderous wind surged from all sides.

"As long as I don't come near her, she's free, right?"

"Who knows?"

The queen's eyes, which were exactly the same as those of the girl, looked at Barbatos in mid-air: "It's just that I don't bother to interfere with her interactions with those ants."

"She is my most proud creation. She has the same lifespan and power as the earth line. Those people... hum."

"It's nothing more than something to make her more 'human'."

"You are just a small change for her, and I am just taking precautions."

The Queen's voice was contemptuous and arrogant, as if everything was under her control.

But she knew in her heart that something was out of control.

She just realized that Barbatos, who was also a god, even more ancient and powerful, was getting involved in her creation. Her creation will be the most perfect "life" in the world.

This also means that she has completely independent and free thoughts.

And she - in her mind, may be replaced at any time.

The thing that was originally firmly grasped in the hand is now slipping away and escaping. This feeling is not pleasant.

The cold gorgeous cage and the warm wind of freedom——

She wasn't sure. But she would never allow her creations to be imprinted with the marks of others - marks as powerful and eternal as hers.

Barbatos was indeed a threat—not to her daughter, but to herself.

She longs for her proud "daughter" to find her "heart" and strength, but is also extremely afraid that none of this has anything to do with her.

She should be loyal to me and listen to me...

belong to me.

She is my creation, my—

"daughter".

"So I don't have a choice, right?"

Wendy's eyes were particularly cold, and the ends of her hair were faintly glowing.

"Yes, Barbatos."

The Queen did not panic: "I am her creator. I can let her walk on this continent, and of course - I can also take her life."

"All she can do is..."

"My indulgence."

The girl felt the breath of the wind, but when she stood at the window and looked out, she could not find the figure she expected to see.

Diluc was entangled by a group of businessmen. She didn't like the atmosphere, so she said hello to Diluc and ran away.

Suddenly, a piece of paper fell down and burned as soon as it touched the ground - the Queen's symbol was painted on it.

Is it... mother?

The girl looked up, but saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?"

It's Albedo.

He was dressed very expensively today, like a prince in Xumi's fairy tale, exuding elegance and calmness in every aspect.

The girl shook her head: "Nothing. By the way, congratulations. According to etiquette, I should toast you."

The girl raised her wine glass. Albedo chuckled and touched it: "Thank you."

"But I came here to ask for something from you."

The girl took a sip of wine and looked at Albedo doubtfully.

"Now is the perfect occasion for a formal introduction."

Albedo put down his wine glass: "My name is Albedo, you can also call me the Son of Chalk. My founder and teacher is the alchemist Reindot of Camria."

"As you can see, miss, I am an android."

"...?"

The girl's brain was a little down.

"This, is this allowed to be said?"

In public, confess the fact that you are inhuman.

But Albedo just raised his eyebrows.

"As everyone knows, this is just my public profile."

The girl usually doesn't particularly care about her "non-human" status. Her attitude is not too sad or happy, but -

Forgotten.

When she is alone or in busy situations, she often forgets her puppet's identity - she doesn't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.

But whenever it comes to her face-to-face communication with other people, she can always find the essential differences between herself and others in her words.

She has heard the heartbeats of many people. The clearer they are, the more disappointed she will be in the fact that she has no intention.

"Teacher Abedo, regarding this time..."

"Wait a minute," Abedo gestured to the person who came to chat, and then said to the girl, "Miss, this doesn't seem to be a suitable place for a long conversation. I will pick you up in person tomorrow, okay?"

"Ah," the girl came back to her senses, "Okay."

"Then, see you tomorrow."

Abedo smiled gently at the girl - but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Maybe he didn't learn how to laugh, just like I didn't learn how to be a human being.

The girl thought.

Perhaps she should look for the source of the paper - she was sure it was meant for her.

Is it the mother herself, or...

She looked around. Diluc was still surrounded by a group of businessmen. Jean and Lisa were walking around with Kelly. Amber and Yora were in the middle of the dance floor. Although Noelle was a guest, he was still helping the waiter. .

This was a rare moment when she wasn't being watched.

The girl lifted up her skirt and walked in the dark - after she came out, she had very little time without being watched.

Maybe, at least she thought so.

"Miss, please come with me."

This is a man wearing a mask.

"Fools?"

The girl's voice was small, but full of caution.

"Don't worry, miss, we won't harm any Zhidong people, please."

This man guided the girl all the way up the stairs:

"Go up to the second floor and keep walking inside. You will see the person who wants to see you. I wish you good luck."

The girl said "hmm" and climbed up the steps. As if she thought of something, she turned back and glanced at the man:

"Wish me luck?"

The man did not panic, but performed a solstice ceremony.

"Yes, good luck to you, miss."
