In the early morning, before the morning sun rose, in the bedroom, the black-haired boy looked at the letter in his hand. His golden pupils suddenly shrank, and his originally calm face suddenly became gloomy just like the sky outside the window.

Half a month ago, after Roya roughly analyzed Charlotte's situation, Rose, who was worried about the next generation of heirs, immediately took action. Master Andrew led a team to where Charlotte's father Bruce had been many years ago. He wants to eradicate the source of the curse that has plagued two generations for many years.

Roya naturally agreed with this point, and even wanted to go there in person for a while, but considering Charlotte's safety, he gave up the idea.

From Roja's point of view, Charlotte is what's really important. Leaving the girl alone in Rose in order to solve the source, in case there is any danger, is putting the cart before the horse.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Roja chose to accompany the girl and wait for the news. However, what he didn't expect was that Master Andrew, who had been preparing for many years, was not all smooth sailing. It would be better to say that it brought him extremely bad news.

The source of the curse in the ruins has not been found, or it may be said that it has been destroyed.

According to the content of the letter, after using space spells to transfer, Andrew and others traveled through the starry night to the underground ruins they had explored in the past. However, after two days of exploration, Andrew and others arrived at the site of the incident and discovered that The entire ruins were severely damaged and were already in ruins.

Andrew was shocked when he discovered this situation, and immediately investigated the ruins of the ruins. According to various clues, the ruins should have been damaged within the past few months. Other clues have not yet been found. .

As the place where Bruce died, this underground ruins discovered decades ago was not a popular exploration spot for adventurers. Therefore, it was easily controlled by Rosse and sent specialized personnel to monitor it. However, according to Records show that it has been peaceful here in recent months, with no signs of outsiders entering.

At this point, the general content of the letter ended. Andrew said that he would continue to investigate other parts of the ruins and search for the source of the curse. However, seeing this, Roja's mood suddenly became heavy.

The ruins were destroyed, which was beyond the boy's expectation. However, before Roja could think about it carefully, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"......Honey?"

"!"

Just when Roja was frowning at the sudden news, a call came from the bed behind him suddenly, causing the black-haired boy to tremble slightly and his eyes to open wide. However, it was only a moment later. , the black-haired boy put away the letter with a normal expression, and turned back to check the situation.

On the bed at this time, the brown-red-haired girl was holding herself up with her arms, rubbing her eyes and looking for the boy who was supposed to be beside her blearily. Because of the pain she suffered during this period, Charlotte's face looked a little pale. She was pale and her body was thinner. Her originally fitting pajamas were slightly loose, exposing a large area of ​​her chest and shoulders.

After falling ill, Charlotte's various physical bonuses as a transcendent person disappeared, and she needed a lot of sleep to recover her daily physical exertion, so she often couldn't wake up. However, even so, the noble temperament unique to the highland elf still remained. No fading.

The girl who had just woken up and was still awake looked for Roya softly. It was very cute, just like the sleeping beauty who had just woken up calling her knight. When hearing such a call, the black-haired boy did not hesitate and disposed of the letter. Then he immediately returned to the girl's side.

"Roya..."

"Well, I'm here, it's still dark, let's sleep a little longer."

"......Um."

Looking at the young man who had rushed to her side, the dimly conscious girl seemed to be relieved. She grabbed Roja's sleeves and nodded lightly before lying down again. She moved her body slightly and got into the young man's arms. On the other side, Black The hairy boy looked at the beauty who fell asleep again in front of him, and then reached out to gently help the girl push the hair away from her face.

It has been a month since Charlotte and Roja met. During this period, many things have changed due to the illness, and the biggest change has to be Charlotte's dependence on the boy. .

Because of the highland elf blood talent, Charlotte has been managing family affairs since she was a child. She has gone through many tests on her own. She has a soft personality but is strong on the outside. She is very independent. Although she is in love with Roja, she doesn't like to cause trouble to the young man. Even the curses were something I wanted to hide from the beginning.

However, as countless philosophical masters have said in the past, the human body and mind are one. If either part is affected, the other part will be implicated. The long-term physical weakness makes Charlotte feel uneasy and unconsciously begin to rely on Shou. Roya beside me.

For this situation, the black-haired boy is naturally happy to hear about it. It is better to say that being able to become a strong girl's support is what Roja has always dreamed of. But I have to say that after reading this morning's letter, Roja's My heart was a little confused.

Holding his arms and looking at the mesmerizing sleeping face of the girl in front of him, Roja's golden eyes flashed with uncontrollable worry. Although Master Andrew stated in the letter that he would still work hard to find the source of the curse, in Roja's view, The possibility of gaining something is already very small.

On the other hand, after reading the letter, the most likely but also the most unacceptable conjecture gradually emerged in the young man's mind.

The ruins will not be damaged for no reason. If the records of the guards of the Sorofia family are true, then the only possibility of damage to the ruins is internal

Destruction, and considering the situation in the past year, Roja could only think of one possibility.

That is the source of Charlotte's curse, one of the [Six Disasters], and this ancient monster has escaped after being activated.

"..."

Looking at the sleeping girl, Roja's face became more serious than ever before. If the curse came from one of the [Six Disasters], then it would be the worst news for Roja and others, because so far, humans have not Any means can accurately detect these terrible monsters.

Praying in his heart that Andrew would gain something, the black-haired boy watched the girl's thoughts swirling in her heart, and silently thought about the next countermeasures.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

Peaceful times are worth cherishing.

This is a widely circulated proverb in Shia, which is often in the war era, and it is also the heartfelt voice of people in this era.

While Roja and Charlotte had no time to be distracted due to the cursed disease, Shia's human world was not at peace, but rather entered into a troubled world.

On the far eastern frontline, after several tentative confrontations, the human coalition and the aliens have begun a formal contest. Small-scale encounters no longer occur, and large-scale positional battles have gradually become the main theme.

Just like many of their predecessors over the past millennium, this time the aliens still want to enter the human world to burn, kill and plunder. To do this, they need to break the human defense network. However, what is different from the past thousands of years is that this time the aliens People are not without opportunities.

Among the Xiongguan Fortresses that are the key defenses of the major powers, there is one whose combat effectiveness is far lower than any other period in history. It is the Tucker Fortress that was rebuilt after being swallowed by the [Hidden Mist]. Although it has been destroyed for more than a year, It barely managed to return to its original size during the emergency repairs, but compared to the past, it was nothing more than strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The construction of the fortress is the result of time and wealth. The most critical fortress charm may even take hundreds of years to be successfully constructed. Although the Theocracy of Saint Meister has tried its best to recover, the time left for mankind is too short.

Due to this strategic gap, there are serious flaws in the entire human fortress defense network. Once the aliens launch a large-scale attack, they are likely to be broken through. The enemy troops that have been marching straight in will directly break into the human world. At that time, the frontline soldiers who will be cut off from support and supplies will only be A dead end.

Because of this concern, the leadership of the coalition forces changed their previous tactics this time and chose a strategy of switching from defense to offense. They used the fortress as a stronghold to attack in cycles, seize the strategic initiative, and try their best to fight for the repair of Tucker Fortress. time.

There is no doubt that this is a courageous attempt. Probably only these veterans who survived the Fourth Alien War nearly a hundred years ago dare to make such a decision. However, while lamenting the courage of the older generation, the new ones But the problem arose immediately, that is, because of taking the initiative, the difficulty of logistics work suddenly increased.

The frontline logistics system was overloaded, which would naturally affect the Sorofia family, which was mainly responsible for logistics. As the manager of Rose, Charlotte had to work despite being sick under such circumstances. However, to make matters worse, However, the situation of the girl is not optimistic.

"Charlotte, it's almost time..."

In the study room at night, the black-haired boy finished processing his files and turned his head to remind the brown-red-haired girl to go and have a rest. However, before he could finish speaking, Roja hurriedly stopped talking because he was Beside her, Charlotte, who was holding a pen, had fallen asleep at her desk at some point.

Looking at the pale girl who was sleeping with exhaustion on her face, Roja fell into silence for a moment. He looked at the distressed expression on Charlotte's face, but for a moment he didn't dare to wake the girl up. .

The girl had collapsed from exhaustion at work more than once before. However, every time the boy woke her up, Charlotte would continue working on the grounds that she had rested. Roja tried to dissuade her several times, but to no avail.

"Although these documents are only about logistics, they are also related to the frontline war and may even affect the lives of some soldiers. I must complete them as soon as possible."

"That may be true, but your body..."

"Honey, please."

"..."

Every time he saw Charlotte's pleading eyes, Roja would involuntarily agree to the girl's request. However, the young man knew that such high-intensity work was unaffordable for a patient, especially for Charlotte. explain.

Nearly a month has passed since the two returned to Rose. During this period, Charlotte and Roja have been together. However, unlike before, the girl's condition has not improved as it did during the journey. , but continued.

Obviously, the effect of the curse is still maintained, constantly consuming Charlotte's vitality. However, Rose has no good way to deal with this, and can only suppress it with the golden soul.

After that letter reading was almost discovered by Charlotte, Roja received several more letters from Master Andrew. However, the results were extremely disappointing. After several days of searching, Andrew and others did not find anything in the ruins. Something related to the source of the curse, which is almost equal to bad news for Charlotte.

At this point, Roja is almost certain that the curse on Charlotte comes from one of the [Six Disasters]. However, unlike the [Hidden Mist] that shocked the world, this ancient monster was in some kind of sleep and hiding. state, and therefore its lethality is not strong.

After the Mother Goddess also entered the recovery period, this cursed disaster also began to become active and left the ruins, and Charlotte's illness began at that time.

The whereabouts of [Six Disasters] are almost impossible to find, and finding the source means that there is almost no possibility of eliminating the curse on the girl, and recovery is naturally far away.

Thinking about this completely unacceptable result, the black-haired boy couldn't help but clenched his fists, and his face became gloomier than ever before. After staring at the girl silently for a moment, the black-haired boy took off his coat and covered Charlotte's body. , however this move made the girl wake up.

"Honey...sorry, I fell asleep again."

"It's nothing. That's it for today. I just looked at it and found that these documents are not urgent documents. They are not that important."

"But......"

"No buts, don't stay up late anymore."

"Dear, dear, wait..."

Facing the hesitant girl, Roja picked her up from the chair and refused categorically. After feeling Roja's firm attitude, Miss Elf's emerald eyes gradually softened, and she finally gave up. After struggling, the little bird leaned against the young man's chest.

Seeing Charlotte like this, Roja couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward the bedroom. Listening to the boy's heartbeat, Charlotte slowly spoke after thinking for a moment.

"My dear, I'm sorry about the recent incident."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's just about work... You have been by my side for my health, but I always fail to cooperate and make you angry."

"..."

Hearing Charlotte's words of apology, the black-haired boy couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. He couldn't help but feel pity in his heart when he looked at the girl who was extremely weak but supported herself for the sake of the overall situation.

"No need to apologize. Judging from the battle situation, you did the right thing. It's better to say that I am proud of you, but our focus is different."

"What to focus on?"

"Yes, to me, your body is more important than anything else."

"!"

Faced with Charlotte's question, Roja gave a calm reply. The brown-red haired girl's eyes widened when she heard the words, and then her lips opened and closed for a while, her face turned red and she turned her eyes away. The black-haired boy Seeing this, he continued:

"I may be angry or something, but it's definitely not towards you, but towards myself. I'm obviously by your side, but I can't help you suppress your illness..."

"Wait! Honey, what are you talking about?"

Looking at the remorseful young man, the brown-red haired girl said this angrily. She stretched out her hand to touch the young man's cheek and said seriously:

"I am able to persist until now only because you are by my side, guarding me like a knight day and night, so... don't blame yourself anymore, okay? That will make me heartbroken."

"Charlotte..."

The boy and girl who were comforting each other looked at each other affectionately, their pupils filled with the reflection of their other half. After a moment, they embraced and kissed, and it became increasingly difficult for the two hearts to separate.

However, what the black-haired boy didn't know was that under this calm, some things were quietly changing.
