My half-blood lady.

The scene of the jubilant crowd shifted from the square outside the church to the nave on the first floor of the church, and the townspeople surrounded Edith and sang an ancient epic in unison.

The epic tells the story of a Northern hero named Atwood who led his brave subordinates to resist the attack of the beast herd and finally killed the leader of the horned beasts. It is just appropriate to use it to praise Edith's selflessness and fearlessness at the moment.

The deepest fear of the people living on this ancient and dark land comes from the deep forest. Those pairs of blood-red and deep-yellow eyes are their nightmares. No one knows when these brutal monsters will come out of the forest again and set foot on the territory of mankind. The original purpose of the built-up brick walls and polished cannons has always been to threaten the beasts hidden in the deep forest.

Patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness and kindness are no longer accurate to describe this girl. Bravery should also be included. She is the hero who first fought bravely against the beast herd. At this moment, Edith is the Atwood of Cole Town.

Pastor Amos of the town didn't disturb or influence the enthusiasm of the townspeople too much. The church is supposed to be quiet, but the small towns in the Northern Territory are always dull and gloomy, and the quietness as the normal state has reached a boring point. He just stood beside the pulpit and watched this cheerful scene quietly, but his expression was still as serious and old-fashioned as before.

Daphne carefully walked down the steps step by step, holding her skirt. She heard the epic, which was melodious, grand and cadenced, echoing in the nave of the church through the mouths of many townspeople, and couldn't help but recall and be touched.

When the game started, the Northshire had fallen. All the characters of the races born in the Old Continent received the first main quest, which was to conduct an in-depth investigation of the fallen Northshire. This land burned by the war now only has wandering beastmen and the undead. The final boss that the newbies have to face after entering the first team dungeon "Ancient Well Ruins" is the undead beast herd lord "Trampler" Miodicus Blackhoof, who was resurrected by the evil necromancy. The battle axe "Cracked Horn's Edge" of the beast-slaying hero Atwood became the weapon of the undead beast herd lord. The BGM at the climax of the battle was this exciting epic with human voices chanting.

This epic carries too many memories of the players. The first time participating in the group dungeon, the first time being wiped out due to lack of experience, the first time getting the equipment of the group dungeon... That was the unique experience of the MMO online game. At the moment when the boss was defeated, a sense of great accomplishment arose spontaneously while sighing with relief.

Daphne stood at the edge of the steps and quietly looked at the blond girl surrounded by everyone in the center. All the praises and cheers were for her - that girl, who was cursed and hated and thus obtained the talent to see through the nature of the blood clan and would also face the fateful death. After walking out of the deep alley of Lovisa, she found the meaning of her own life.

Daphne still remembered the first time she led the honor guard to parade through the Aire Territory and met this girl on the street of Lovisa six years ago. At that time, Edith was trembling with fear, as if she would break into pieces if touched slightly. Her small eyes were full of despair and fear of the world, but Daphne could see the wish and hope still existing in the girl's heart.

Something must have changed because of her. Daphne didn't believe that her efforts for so many years were in vain and wasted. Her efforts had paid off and the world was not always full of despair.

She felt like crying. But Bertlem had never cried because of this in the past 30 years, so Daphne held back. She could shed tears for other things, but she must never cry for this kind of thing. This was the path she had chosen by herself. It was she who had decided to save this endangered world and make up for those irreparable regrets. No matter how difficult it was, she must not have the slightest complaint.

"Cherish the present, Daphne." She said to herself again.

She turned around and was about to continue walking down the steps, but almost fell because she was not used to the high heels. Fortunately, the handrail was right beside her, and Daphne quickly regained her balance by leaning on the handrail.

But this stumble attracted everyone's attention. The sound of the high heels was really too loud.

Daphne quickly put away her embarrassed look and showed an awkward smile to the people in the nave, "Sorry, I..."

As soon as Edith in the crowd saw Daphne appear, her blue eyes became much brighter than before. She squeezed out of the crowd, lifted her skirt and trotted all the way to Daphne, and then took Daphne's hands.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return, Miss Edith." Daphne had to pretend in front of people.

"It was really dangerous at that time. I thought I couldn't come back." Edith understood and also responded in an affectionate tone, "It's really great to see you again, Miss Elenna."

She opened her arms towards Daphne, as if hoping for a hug.

Daphne glanced sideways at everyone's reaction and found that everyone seemed to expect that the relationship between them could go further - this expectation was like believing that the little angel Edith could even influence the emotionless emerald of the St. Mary's religious territory, "My own idol is always the strongest", something like this.

Out of helplessness, Daphne had to accept and leaned over to give Edith a hug.

There was still a faint smell of blood on the girl's body, and her long blond hair felt cold, but fortunately her body was as warm and soft as before. The greatest good news was that she was all right.

Pastor Amos then announced to the townspeople: "The chantress Edith has just gone through a difficult battle and now needs to rest. The wounded here also need a quiet environment."

Anyway, the mayor will hold a celebration banquet in a few days, so everyone was not in a hurry. After saying goodbye to Edith, they left the church one after another.

Edith was still hugging Daphne and waving goodbye to everyone. When almost everyone had left, she hugged Daphne in her arms again.

"I missed you, cutie. Call me." Edith deliberately stretched her head to the side where no one could see, and licked Daphne's sensitive earlobe with her warm tongue in an ambiguous breath.

"Ah♡... Sister Edith♡..." Daphne couldn't stand the teasing and her tone became soft.

Having just hovered on the verge of life and death, Edith's heart melted when she heard the soft voice of the half-blood girl. She blew gently, kissed and then bit Daphne's earlobe with her teeth, "So cute. I like you the most."

"Goo♡..." There were still people looking here, so Daphne could only try to act normal and tried her best to hold back her voice.

It seemed that the matter of sneaking out hadn't been exposed. While enduring Edith's teasing, she secretly rejoiced that she had escaped disaster.

But she didn't expect Edith to say in her ear next: "I know it was you who saved me. Although I'm very touched and grateful, the disobedient cutie still has to be punished."

"Eh?" Daphne's brain froze for a moment.

Before she could react, she was pulled upstairs by Edith, and the blond girl dressed as an angel showed a false gentle smile: "Let's go back to the room together, Miss Elenna. I want to tell you what happened at that time."
