"But I'm afraid that the God of Order will be angry with you because of Queen Madeline's deception. How can the gods allow humble and lowly ants to play tricks on them? Therefore, I suggest that you should not get involved with any gods in the future." Brahiri sighed. Her Highness Helia's life is not even halfway through, but she has fallen into a difficult and difficult situation...

Helia nodded. Even if it hadn't happened today, she wouldn't have wanted to contact the gods. She was so afraid of death that it made no sense for her to seek death. But she was afraid that if she kept hiding, the gods wouldn't give up on her. She still remembered what William Tenlis said, "See you next time." Damn it! Who wants to see you again!

At this point, Helia's secrets were almost all revealed, but she still didn't know much about her mother, Madeline.

"But since the God of Order is so powerful and controls both order and destiny, how did my mother deceive Him?"

"I don't know about this either. I only know that Queen Madeline used some special methods to quietly seal the fragments in your body and divert His attention." Brahiri replied, "But of course, she paid a huge price for this. The power of the gods cannot be easily sealed, let alone set up obstacles in your predetermined destiny. She was defying and resisting God, which is absolutely disrespectful."

"So, Queen Madeleine couldn't rest in peace after her death. Her soul was imprisoned in the palace, which was the core of the royal government. Even the God of Order couldn't set foot there at will. Only there would she not end up with no remains and no soul left because of deceiving the gods."

Helia found this a bit strange. She didn't quite believe the guess in her mind, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "You mean, mother is still in the palace and hasn't left, right?"

"..." But Brahiri was unexpectedly silent. He seemed to realize belatedly that he had let the cat out of the bag. At this moment, his brain was racing to think about how to cover it up, but Helia got the answer from his silence.

"In fact, I have had a vague feeling since a long time ago that my mother has never left. She is always watching me silently from behind." Helia searched through the original owner's memory and said slowly, "I don't know why my mother doesn't want to meet me. Maybe she can't, or maybe she doesn't dare. But if possible, I would like to trouble you to convey a message for me-"

"You are the best mother in the world, I miss you so much."

Madeline was undoubtedly a great mother. For Helia, she dared to fight against all the gods and fate. Even if the end was that she would never rest in peace, never be reincarnated, and be imprisoned in the palace for hundreds of thousands of years, she would never regret her choice at that time.

She loved her daughter dearly, whom she could not touch.

"Do you know why His Majesty Claude has always doted on you? Whenever something is related to you, it will be done with great fanfare?" Brashiri did not answer the question above, but changed the subject. Helia heard that he had no intention of talking about it anymore, so she did not make it too difficult for him.

"Isn't it because my father loves me very much?" Helia said.

"Yes, of course, His Majesty loves you very much, but there is another important reason besides this."

"I have said from the beginning that you are someone who should not exist in this world. There is no place for you in the destiny of this world, but with the intervention of Queen Madeline, you exist here."

"In order to open up a new destiny for you, the first and most important thing to do is to let as many people as possible acknowledge your existence."

"As long as your existence is recognized by the majority of people in this world, then the world's destiny will have to open up a new destiny for you. In this way, you can have a new life outside of the established destiny."

"That's what Queen Madeleine really wanted to do."

"She doesn't want your fate to be determined by others, even if that person is the supreme god. She hopes that you can grow up freely and happily and do whatever you want, instead of succumbing to the so-called predetermined fate and obeying the will of heaven."

"Queen Madeleine lived a free life, so she also hoped that her children could be free. However, she married His Majesty Claude, and her children would inevitably be trapped in the cage of power. She has always felt sorry for Prince Eric."

"So when she learned that you in her belly would become the body of the resurrected god, she couldn't stand it. You and Prince Eric were not born free, so she couldn't accept that even the freedom of your birth into this world was taken away by the gods."

"So, she picked up her magic wand and pointed it at the god."

Helia didn't know why Brashiri told her all this, but after listening to it, Helia admired and worshipped her mother from the bottom of her heart. Such a person would definitely be a dazzling and bright pearl, not to mention in this world, even in the world where Helia once lived.

She let out a long sigh, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and looked up at Brashiri's position. Although she couldn't see him, he was not far away and she could feel his movements.

"Then what about the killing of gods you mentioned earlier?"

"Queen Madeline saw the God of Order when she was five months pregnant with you. To be more precise, she glimpsed His coming in a dream. He explained everything in a few words, placed the fragment of authority into your body, and then left." Brahiri said.

"At first, Queen Madeline was very angry and wanted to destroy this fragment directly for you. In other words, to kill the gods and completely eliminate Watersise from this world. But she failed. Killing the gods was not as easy as she thought."

"That's why she chose the next best option and sealed it. Otherwise, why would she let you suffer so much?"

Helia felt that if Madeline was given some more time and allowed to live longer, she might actually be able to think of and realize her plan to kill gods, just like the God of Light killed the God of Sky to seize power. Madeline might have the possibility of becoming a god.

Finally, Helia recalled the conversation she had with Claude the last time she nearly blew herself up with ancient magic. She couldn't just say she was injured accidentally this time. She had actually died! Claude was a man of his word, so he was probably going to take her back to the palace.

But she didn't want to go back. It was like a bird that had finally escaped from a cage and gained freedom. How could it want to go back to the cage that was warm and safe but had no freedom?

"Then can I continue to stay in school?"

She thought Brashili would reject her without hesitation. After all, he was Claude's man. It was no exaggeration to say that he was Claude's eyes, ears, nose, throat, left arm and right hand. He would definitely obey Claude's will, but unexpectedly, he actually nodded in agreement!

"Your Highness Helia, don't be too happy too soon. The reason why I chose not to send you back is that the palace is the center of the royal government and the gods cannot set foot in it. But at the same time, it is also the center of their sight. It can be said that any disturbance in the palace cannot escape their eyes and ears." Brahiri explained.

"Sending you back will only put you under the watchful eyes of the gods, which is totally disadvantageous to you. If the God of Order gets the chance to deal with you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

"But it's not safe to leave you alone. God's eyes and ears are everywhere. Even if Elroy and I protect you, you can't defend yourself."

"So, I want to send you to Marshal Hawke."

"What?! I don't want it!" Helia could accept being sent back to the palace, but she could not accept being sent to Antonio's family. She shook her head rapidly like a rattle.

Brahili was very puzzled and asked, "I have been wondering for a long time, Your Highness Helia, why do you have such great hostility towards Marshal Hawke?"

"Did you know that it was Marshal Hawke who brought you back with a stab wound in the heart?"

Of course Helia knew that before she lost consciousness, she saw a red figure approaching her, and the steps were hurried. They must be friendly forces sent to support her, or members of the Antonio family. She thought of Avril, but she secretly felt that even if Neytina didn't hurt their lives, she wouldn't let them have an easy time and stop her plan, so she didn't think it would be Avril who came back to save her.

Blot? Although Helia didn't know how good he was, but since he could get Britney's guidance, he shouldn't be bad. He might be here, but Helia not only heard footsteps, but also found that the footsteps were heavy and there was a sound of armor colliding, so it could only be a soldier.

When talking about soldiers, one thinks of the army, and naturally one thinks of Marshal Hawke who commands the army. Moreover, Mobichues had said before that they had sent out distress signals to both the Magic Association and Hawke, so it is not impossible for Hawke to lead the troops personally.

Of course, her mind was in a mess at the time, so she couldn't think so much. But when she saw the red color, her intuition told her that it was Hawke, someone she could trust.

"It's not that I'm hostile, but..." Helia didn't know how to describe her emotions. They were very complicated and she felt that she couldn't express them in a few words.

Her intuition and sensibility told her that Marshal Hawke was someone she could trust. After all, he was her family member and her uncle. Moreover, Hawke loved his sister Madeline very much, so it made no sense for him to hate and be hostile to Helia, whom he had never even met. Besides, she was Her Royal Highness the Princess. No matter how much Hawke hated her, he could not touch her and break off relations with Claude while he was still alive.

But her reason told her that Hawke was dangerous, or at least he would not be very friendly to her. Her identity was of no use to him, not to mention that his beloved sister died because of her. Even if she was Madeline's flesh and blood and looked like her mother, she was not her after all.

Moreover, the fact that Avril was adopted by the other party had always been like a thorn in his heart. Not to mention why Avril looked so much like Madeline, just the fact that Hawke favored her was something that even Blott found strange, not to mention Helia.

Putting aside the emotional part, in terms of the current situation, Hawke has the strength to compete with Claude, but now they are still trying to maintain the superficial peace. This balance is very fragile and will start a fight if they are not careful. But as Judith said, Helia is an unstable variable. If she is sent to Hawke and something happens to ignite the fuse, then Helia will be blamed.

It was neither reasonable nor logical for Helia to have any more contact with Hawke, both for herself and for the royal family behind her.

Helia didn't want to talk about this with Brahili, so she had to pretend to be unreasonable and said, "I think Hawke doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. I don't want to live under the same roof with someone I don't like."

Brahili had never expected Helia to say such a thing. Just when he was still thinking about whether Hawke had ever had contact with Helia, the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other drew his attention away. He turned his head and saw that Hawke had entered the room at some point. He was now leaning on the windowsill with his arms folded, looking lazy. He didn't know how much he had heard.

Brahili's habit of embarrassing others has come back again...

Helia must not have known that Hawke was in the room, otherwise she would not have said such a thing in front of others, but the problem was that Hawke heard it! Even if he and Helia had no contact before, they had a grudge now!

"Besides! Would my father agree? Would he be willing to send his precious daughter to a wolf's den?!" Helia became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder, as if the louder it was, the more reasonable it was.
