The two continued along the road, gradually disappearing into the shadows at the end of the corridor, leaving only dappled light on the empty path.

Until they reached the ground floor, and under the watchful eyes of the prison guards, walked out of Kingston City Prison together.

Outside the gray stone walls, layer upon layer of fortress-like ramparts, Kingston City was a pleasant sight in the distance.

It was one in the afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky, emitting a warm light. The sky was a pale blue and white, a clean and bright light unique to the snowy spring.

Returning to Kingston City after nearly a month, a sense of warmth and familiarity enveloped them, and their steps became much lighter.

Apart from the snowy roads, they spent most of their time in Kingston City in this snow region, which was the most comfortable.

"I think you're a pretty good headmaster now."

Sid thought for a moment and said.

Capable of teaching good students like Xia Ya, and able to manage bad students like Agnello.

"Oh? You understand?"

Lanci's eyes lit up.

"Of course."

Sid smiled smugly.

Now they were going back to the Kingston City Lord's mansion to rest for the night, and tomorrow they would continue south to the Box Mountain Province, a transportation hub in the northern Protos Empire, before boarding the magic-powered rail train back to the imperial capital, Helrom.

Previously in Kingston City, they had stayed in the Lord's mansion of Viscount Levin Kingston. This time, the Viscount Kingston had also prepared rooms for them in the mansion.

The two walked down the street, their eyes occasionally meeting during their conversation.

Listening to Lanci and Sid chatting as usual, Cat Boss couldn't help but raise its head worriedly in Sid's arms.

"Next, there's still the Box Mountain Province blockade, meow. How are you going to get Sid back?"

It looked at Sid, then at Lanci, and asked.

It had heard Lanci and Sid chatting in the inn before that once they arrived in the Box Mountain Province, no matter what Sidgrid disguised herself as, the seal masters there would detect the power of the curse mark on her body and immediately discover her.

The main high priests of the Annihilation Branch were all in the Box Mountain Province, a checkpoint that Lanci could not forcibly break through with the power of the Snowfield Province.

However, Sidgrid was now completely carefree, with a feeling of lying flat, content with petting cats and waiting for death!

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Lanci looked at Cat Boss and replied calmly,

"I need to make a card later. Once it's done, we can leave."

The Viscount Kingston's mansion had a room suitable for making cards, and all the card-making tools were available. After a long time, he was going to pick up his old profession again.

In any case, he had to take Sidgrid back to the imperial capital, Helrom, as soon as possible.

First of all, he himself had a large-scale interview program at the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation. As a dignified headmaster, he couldn't stand people up.

Secondly, Sidgrid's bishop election was imminent. If she, as a Tyrant Church member, could win, she would become the sole spokesperson for the Rebirth Church in the Protos Empire. From then on, the Rebirth Church within the country would only be controlled by the two of them.

"Then I want to watch you make cards, but will it affect you if someone is next to you?"

Sid seemed to perk up.

She had nothing to do now, and had long been curious about the Holy Son's magic artisan function. She might as well take a look.

"It's okay, I do need a line of sight when I make cards."

Although the assistant, the Great Poet, was not there, the card he was going to make this time was not difficult, and he was familiar with it.

Moreover, if there was an older woman staring at him, the success rate of making the card would probably be greatly improved.

"...Did you think of something very impolite just now?"

Sid looked up at Lanci's eyes, observed them carefully, and asked with contempt.

"Absolutely not. Only respect."

Lanci replied with certainty.

"Rea——lly——?"

Sid's voice trailed off.

"I really respect you."

Lanci looked at her with a particularly innocent expression.

"..."

"Forget it, you've had the same attitude towards me whether I was at my peak or when I'm weak now, which is a kind of consistency to some extent. I'll give you a chance to avoid deducting favorability points."

Sid closed her eyes helplessly and waved her hand.

"By the way, what's the use of favorability now?"

The more Lanci thought about it, the more he felt that as long as the favorability wasn't low enough for Sid to leave the team, it didn't make much difference.

"...Sid is willing to die with you, eh. Aren't you moved to have such a girl by your side?"

After a moment of thought, Sid, like a girl telling a fairy tale, described the scene where they faced the Annihilation Saint in the snowy field that morning.

"..."

Lanci looked at Sid, wanting to complain but stopping.

This lousy boss was now perfunctory even when drawing the pie.

Seeing Lanci's helpless expression, Sid laughed again.

"You have to keep working hard, Holy Son."

Sid patted Lanci on the back with satisfaction, looking happy.

Even if she had lost her power now, she wasn't worried about the future at all.

With their footsteps, the familiar Lord's mansion gradually came into view.

The majestic building seemed to be greeting them, and the familiar red brick walls and roof were particularly eye-catching.

At the gate of the Lord's mansion, the guards in uniform immediately opened the door when they saw the two of them, paying them the most respectful salute.

The scenery in the courtyard was as before, with flowers, greenery, and fountains sparkling in the sunlight. Every few steps, the sound of snow melting could be heard. The frost and snow covering the roof of the building became moist and no longer hard, like inlaid crystals.

Listening to the conversation between the two all the way, Cat Boss frowned. It suddenly realized a problem.

The two months it had spent alone with Lanci in the Northern Continent had made it completely understand that Lanci had a terrible ambition of dissatisfaction that even he himself was unaware of. Sometimes he was as gentle as a housewife, with a hint of caring maternal instinct. Combined with his strange talent, it was mixed into an incomparably dangerous poison.

Tata seemed very resistant to this poison, and she was always subconsciously distinguishing the boundaries with Lanci.

Hugh could not only stay awake in this poison, but also suppress its toxicity.

And Sid had the monster qualities to drink this poison without limits.

So, in addition to condoning Lanci, she was constantly aggravating Lanci's demon nature. Lanci was satisfied with this recognition and support, and regarded Sid, the female version of Lanci, as a reference. Hey, when he thought about it this way, he felt that he was very normal.

The more Cat Boss thought about it, the weirder it felt.

Generally, youth love stories should be about a boy meeting a girl, and the two healing and redeeming each other...

Others were flying into the sky like a pair of lovebirds, but these two were like a drill meeting energy, going to hell with all their might.

Really strange, too strange... Let's take another look.
