Chapter 757 Do you want to be with me?
"Wait a moment!"
"Mr. Li En!"
"Respected...Respected Lord Li En!!"
“Tsk~!”
Li En's steps towards the door finally stopped. When he slowly turned around, Qiana, with a flushed face, stared at him closely.
"Haha~!"
Facing Qiyana's anxious and embarrassed gaze, Li En showed a playful smile.
"My Lady Queen, how can I be of service to you?"
"your hands..."
"What's wrong with your hand? Is there any problem?"
"..."
Without saying a word, Qiyana walked quickly to Li En, stretched out her hand and was about to take Li En's left hand to check.
"Shua~!"
Li En deftly avoided Qiyana's hand and took a step back.
"I'm sorry, Queen. I'm just an outsider. I can't offend the great Yun'ala."
"...
I’m sorry...”
The sound was like the buzz of a mosquito and passed by in a flash.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li En, I offended you earlier!"
A layer of blush quickly appeared on her honey-skin skin, and Qiyana bowed to apologize to Li En.
"Here, take a look."
Seeing Qiyana's embarrassment reaching its limit, Li En did not provoke her anymore.
"Thank you!"
Qiyana quickly held up Li En's left hand with both hands, and carefully examined the back of his hand with her cat's eye eyes.
Three marks that looked like claw marks and scorpion tails appeared on the back of Li En's hand.
Although that great being has not appeared for a long time, every Ixtal knows his legend.
As a Yun'alaian, Qiana knew very well the meaning of this strange mark.
Her fingers gently stroked the mark, and the great and heavy power contained in it clearly proved to Qiyana that this was not a crude fake.
"How can it be..."
Qiana muttered in a low voice, her tone full of envy, disbelief, and a hint of indescribable...sadness.
"Although I don't mind, it's not appropriate to hold it like this all the time, right?"
"ah!"
After coming back to her senses, Qiyana quickly let go of Li En's left hand. The complicated expression on her face disappeared, replaced by embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li En..."
"It's okay. In fact, I was also surprised at first."
"Mr. Li En, what exactly do you..."
"Call me Li En, Qiana. I was just joking with you just now. Forget about the titles 'Sir' and 'Sir'."
“Really…really!?”
Qiana raised her head and carefully observed Li En's expression.
Seeing this, Li En frowned slightly.
"Why, do you think I'm a petty person?"
"No! Absolutely not, Li En, you are very generous and easy-going!"
"Haha~! You have a pretty good taste."
"That..."
"That's right. The guardian god who has better vision than you chose me not long ago. He hopes that I can solve the crisis hidden in Ixutar now!"
"Ah? Why?!"
"Who knows? After all, this is God's idea, isn't it?"
"...
But...I am obviously..."
Qiana murmured softly, and her expression suddenly became wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although Qiyana's sisters have always suppressed her with traditional rules, she knows clearly that her talent far exceeds that of her sisters and all she lacks is an opportunity.
As long as she waits for the great opportunity that is enough to change this closed and conservative country, the base of Yuntar will eventually open to her.
Even the legendary patron saint Skarner might reappear because of her achievements, making her, Qiana, the greatest queen of Ixtal ever.
However, now that the opportunity has come, she has been confined to the palace by her father. Even the guardian god Skarner is paying attention to this crisis, but the person he chose is Li En, who has just arrived in Ixtal.
For a moment, the spirit that had always maintained Qiyana's firm belief quietly dissipated.
"So...are you giving up?"
"..."
Qiana lowered her head and did not answer Li En's question.
"I'll assume that you meant what you said before, 'I deserve their admiration,' but are you going to give up now?"
"But what can I do? I have talents, but I don't have the time to convert them all into strength. My father doesn't support me either and has confined me to this palace..."
"So... do you want to join me?"
A slender and powerful hand stretched out in front of Qiana who lowered her head. Looking at the sacred mark in Ishtar on the back of Li En's hand, she suddenly raised her head.
"You and I..."
"With this mark, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to take away a Yuntal, right?"
"Of course it's okay..."
Feeling that there was ambiguity in the words, Qiyana paused.
"I...I mean, father's confinement order cannot restrict you."
"So you want to come with me to find that guy, Your Majesty, the future Queen of Ixtal?"
"Crack~!"
Qiana held Li En's left hand tightly, and a proud look appeared on her delicate little face again.
"Of course!"
...
The sun had completely sunk below the horizon. A slightly cool breeze blew by, and the maids waiting outside the palace subconsciously gathered together.
"Sister Beni, it's been so long, Her Highness Qiana and Lord Li En..."
"How about...we go in and take a look?"
"Woo~! I...I don't dare..."
"Okay, don't let your imagination run wild. Lord Li En and I have already agreed that as long as he can persuade His Highness, he will come out on his own initiative. Don't worry..."
"Boom~!"
The gorgeous and majestic palace let out a loud roar, and a golden-red meteor that Benny was very familiar with shot straight into the sky.
As it approached the super-large protective barrier that covered the entire Ixokon, the meteor burst into an ochre-colored, thick and majestic light.
Then the barrier was penetrated by the golden-red meteor without any hindrance and disappeared from everyone's sight.
At the same time, Astaya, who had just finished a meeting, also saw the meteor disappearing into the clouds.
"Your Majesty, what was that just now!?"
"Yes, that's right. It's the power of that guardian angel."
"But... if I remember correctly, the place where the meteor rose was Her Highness Qiana's palace. Could it be that she..."
Another elder, Yuntal, who was urgently teleported back, asked in confusion.
"Haha~! Elder Jia, and all the elders, don't worry too much. Please follow the meeting arrangements and make preparations as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Watching the elders leave in a hurry, Astaya turned around and waved to the side, and a figure immediately stepped forward.
"Nolan, go check if our guest's friend is still at his residence. If so, send a team of the most elite elementalists to guard her. Don't let anything happen to her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
Outside of Ixtal, when a golden-red meteor streaked across the sky, the thorny vines coiled around a tree trunk in a corner suddenly tightened until deep marks were left on the trunk, and then they slowly loosened.
