South Wantina Border Territory, the eastern district by the sea.

On the third floor of a large commercial building by the sea, a bedroom window was half-open, welcoming the fresh air of the summer seaside.

Inside the room, thin white curtains fluttered rhythmically in the breeze, and the waves outside ceaselessly lapped against the shore, creating a soft and continuous echo that turned into nature's lullaby.

Talia gradually opened her eyes.

She looked at the unfamiliar yet reassuring environment.

She turned her head and found two pairs of eyes watching her.

It was Lan Qi and Hyperion.

They had placed two chairs by her bed and were watching over her, as if they had been waiting for her to wake up for a long time.

"Tata, how are you feeling?"

Lan Qi noticed that Tata had woken up and asked with concern.

Talia nodded slightly and struggled to sit up.

Her waist-length hair was slightly disheveled, and her right cheek was still wrapped in bandages, but even a glimpse of her exposed lips and left eye was enough to confirm that she possessed a peerless beauty rarely seen in the human kingdoms.

"We are now at the Wilford Chamber of Commerce. We can only stay here for the next few days."

Lan Qi explained to Talia.

After the attack, they had temporarily moved their family to the third floor of the Wilford Chamber of Commerce in the eastern district.

It could also be used as a residential mansion.

"Tata, my Tata."

Hyperion first looked at the recovered Tata, then hugged her, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had been worried that she would not wake up.

Talia was originally dazed, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly placed her left hand lightly on Hyperion's back.

"It's okay, Hyperion."

Talia said gently.

She didn't know if she had fulfilled her responsibility to protect Hyperion, but she only knew that she should comfort Hyperion at this time.

"How many days have I been asleep?"

Talia let Hyperion hug her and looked at Lan Qi and asked.

She had been feeling powerless in her right hand, and when she glanced at it, she found it was tightly wrapped in bandages.

She seemed to have had a very long dream.

She dreamed of Antanas, and in her half-sleep, she saw her hurriedly treating her.

But it was indeed a dream.

There was no longer a Demon Realm healer as skilled as Antanas in this world.

"You only slept for one night."

Lan Qi glanced at Hyperion and replied.

Hyperion stayed up all night, worried sick, and stayed by Talia's side.

But Lan Qi estimated that Tata should be able to wake up during the day today. Tata would be hungry after not eating for more than ten hours.

"..."

Talia stared at Lan Qi.

For some reason, she now had an even stronger urge to grab this human and ravage him.

He hadn't done anything or said anything, but his mind was always abnormally active when it shouldn't be.

While thinking, Hyperion had already brought Tata breakfast wrapped in tin foil from the side.

Since she didn't know when Tata would wake up, she had been preparing food and keeping it warm with a life magic tool.

After opening it, it looked like a golden-brown baked shortbread.

Hyperion held it with her hand below and brought it to Talia's mouth.

Talia took a bite from the end, and her expression gradually calmed down.

The outer skin was crispy, the inside was soft and hot, the dough was chewy, and it was filled with the sweet aroma of roasted cheese and the elasticity of fresh beef.

Talia felt like she was truly alive at this moment.

"The only regret is that we probably won't be able to go to Azure Coast today."

Lan Qi walked to one side of the bedroom, poured three cups of honey lemon tea, placed them on Talia's bedside table, and sat down next to Hyperion again.

He saw out of the corner of his eye that the beef and cheese bread had already been reduced to tin foil in a short while.

"Here, Tata."

Hyperion handed the lemon tea to Tata, and Tata quickly took a sip from the edge of the teacup.

Starting with the unique mellow sweetness of sugar, she could feel the refreshing flavor of lemon. When the moisture in her mouth was excessively absorbed by the bread, the drink that Lan Qi immediately provided could be said to be just right.

Although Talia had never tried entrusting herself to others for care, she found that these two people were particularly adept at taking care of her because they had lived with her for a long time, and they completely knew what she liked and needed.

This feeling wasn't bad, surprisingly.

"Didn't you say you would go even if you encountered irresistible forces?"

Talia leaned against the headboard and looked at Lan Qi and asked.

She originally thought that Lan Qi had already prepared to take herself and Hyperion to Azure Coast.

After all, he was a person who valued promises very much, and he did indeed, as he said, even if the Rebirth Church attacked, he would invite the Rebirth Church away.

Now he was only one step away from fulfilling the promise.

Although she wasn't in good physical condition, she wasn't as delicate as ordinary humans, so she could still manage to travel.

"Get some rest."

Lan Qi just smiled casually, not caring about the itinerary at all.

"Forcing you to go out and have fun can be said to be putting the cart before the horse."

Lan Qi waved his hand, stood up, bid farewell to Talia temporarily, and walked out of the room.

It was as if he was leaving the space for Talia and Hyperion to be alone.

Lan Qi felt Hyperion's hesitation. Some things should have been confessed to each other long ago.

"..."

Talia put her hands on the pure white bedding, looked in the direction where Lan Qi left, and remained silent for a moment.

Until the curtains fluttered again for a while.

She exhaled and finally looked at Hyperion.

"Hyperion, that magic, did Almis give it to you?"

The ice magic that Hyperion used to protect herself earlier was obviously not Hyperion's own.

Talia knew that Hyperion did not have compatibility with ice and healing attributes. It would be almost impossible to learn a divine-level spell, no matter how long it took.

To be able to obtain this spell, Hyperion should have seen the Ice Witch Almis in the Northern Continent.

"Yes, for the first two months in the Northern Continent, Teacher Almis took care of me. She taught me a lot of things, and in the end, she gave me a unique divine spell card."

Hyperion replied.

Talia stared into Hyperion's eyes.

"So, do you know who I am?"

Talia seemed very calm, but in reality, she couldn't hide her anxiety.

Or rather, when she asked this question, she probably already had an answer in her heart.

Hyperion took Talia's hand and nodded.

"You are my most important family member."

Hyperion's voice was filled with a hint of grievance, but also full of gratitude and firmness, as if telling Talia that she had finally found her.

"..."

Talia did not reply and slowly lowered her head.

She held Hyperion's hand tightly in return, as if all the thoughts she couldn't express at this moment were being conveyed to her through the warmth of her palm.
