Dudu: "We Have to Find the Real Kiana."

"She... is starting to recover, right?"

Looking at the tacitly accepting Misterine, Gwen sighed and revealed the truth.

"Um..."

Misterine responded softly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, making it impossible for Gwen to see the expression in her dreamy eyes.

"You..."

Seeing Misterine like this, Gwen shook his head helplessly, picked up a slightly cool jade hand, and held it in his palm.

"You don't actually think that sacrificing your life to bring Cecilia back to life is a worthwhile deal, do you?"

"..."

Her beautiful, watery eyes unconsciously lifted, meeting Gwen's gaze, and shimmered with a gentle light—

Isn't that so?

Although he didn't say anything, Gwen had already understood the meaning.

"Childish!"

Meeting those trembling, bright eyes, Gwen couldn't help but shout angrily.

Upon hearing this, Misterine did not refute it, but simply lowered her eyes again—

Trading her uncontrollable life for Cecilia, who has saved countless lives, is definitely a very worthwhile thing to do.

Moreover, her existence was created by Cecilia.

Now, it's just a matter of giving it all back...

Just as Misterine's thoughts were churning with her eyes lowered, she suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from her already warmed hand. The next moment, a burning sensation came from her thin cherry lips, so hot that Mistelin's cold heart trembled. She widened her dreamy eyes, but was powerless to change anything and could only let the burning invasion take its toll.

Kiana, half-asleep, vaguely heard a strange sound of water, and a look of confusion appeared on her little face...

After a long while, the strange sound of water that had left Kiana in her dream full of questions finally faded away. Misterine usually cool and aloof face flushed with a blush, glared at Gwen with some dissatisfaction, and a powerful aura slowly rose from her body.

Before Misterine could react, Gwen tightened his grip on the delicate hand he held in his palm, his eyes meeting Misterine's without flinching—

"You are not just yourself, you are now my Stigmata, my Ideal Form, and I will not allow you to belittle yourself like this."

Her resounding words instantly suppressed the aura that had risen within Misterine, holding it firmly in place.

"Can..."

Even Misterine herself didn't realize that her tone had softened subtly.

Gwen, however, wasn't going to give Misterine even the slightest chance to refute him—

"No buts—"

"No means no. If you have any other questions, you can contact me for help."

After a long eye contact with Gwen, Misterine suddenly chuckled, a bright smile spreading across her beautiful face, which had been showing signs of embarrassment. She raised her other hand, warmed by the same lingering emotions within her, and gently stroked Gwen's cheek.

"That's really... a childish remark..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen glared at her, wanting to show Misterine if she was really a child.

However, seemingly having guessed what Gwen would do, Misterine vanished in a flash after speaking, leaving Gwen with only Kiana lying on the sofa, her body slightly relaxed, seemingly tempting someone to untie Kiana completely.

"Call..."

Gwen let out a long breath and didn't chase Kiana into the Stigmata Space. Instead, he prepared to help Kiana change her position so she could sleep more comfortably.

However, as Gwen reached for Kiana's slightly loose neckline to tighten it and prevent her from undressing completely in her sleep, he heard an unbelievable voice—

"Gwen, what are you doing?"

Gwen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Durandal standing in the doorway, looking at him with disbelief.

"Bianca, you've come at the right time. Come help Kiana tighten her yukata."

Faced with Durandal's incredulous stare, Gwen remained calm, instead beckoning Durandal to come to his aid as if he had found a savior.

He hadn't planned to do anything to Kiana, and Durandal, nicknamed "Dudu," was also the type to be easily fooled.

"Um... okay."

Durandal was initially furious at witnessing the unbelievable scene, felt her anger subside a bit upon seeing Gwen's expression. Her body moved faster than her thoughts to Gwen's side, turning her back to Gwen to block his view and helping Kiana straighten her disheveled yukata.

"I just gave Kiana some psychological counseling and helped her deal with her physical problems, and then Kiana just fainted."

Seeing Durandal's guarded, thieving-like behavior, Gwen didn't mind and casually explained.

"What's wrong with Kiana's body?"

Durandal was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Um...

This matter involves a plan of our Bishop Otto, as well as an old story..."

446

Chapter 446 Dumb Goose: We need to find Zhenqi.

After helping You Lan Dai Er carry Kiana back to bed, Gwen briefly told You Lan Dai Er what had happened to Kiana, including her identity and early experiences.

In the study, after listening to Gwen's account, You Lan Dai Er frowned, her fingers gently stroking her chin, the golden hair reflecting the light with a slightly dim luster.

"Bishop Otto ..."

Upon suddenly hearing about the shady things Otto had done, You Lan Dai Er's fists clenched.

However, You Lan Dai Er had already moved beyond the stage of believing the world was black and white—

After a long silence, You Lan Dai Er sighed softly, loosened her clenched fist, and pinched the space between her eyebrows—

"So, Kiana is currently troubled by her identity?"

Under Gwyn's gaze You Lan Dai Er, after Gwen contemplation, did not recall any long-buried Remembrance, but simply presented the conclusions she had drawn.

"You could say that."

Gwen nodded slightly, his eyes meeting You Lan Dai Er's clear gaze.

"You should have gotten to know Kiana's personality after spending time with her. Although she has many childlike characteristics, she is definitely a kind and good girl."

After realizing her true identity, she must have suffered immense inner torment.

Especially considering that the real Kiana Kaslana nearly lost her life trying to save her.

"Almost?"

Despite her somewhat dull personality, You Lan Dai Er easily grasped the loophole in Gwen's words.

"Yes, Kiana, who crashed her plane while being pursued by Schicksal, is still alive."

I just told her about this, and Kiana got too emotional, so I found someone to help calm her down.

Kiana just had a good cry to release her emotions and then fell asleep.

Gwen nodded, gazing at You Lan Dai Er, wondering if You Lan Dai Er would recall something at this moment.

However, perhaps because the accident was so horrific and the relevant Remembrance were sealed so tightly, You Lan Dai Er's expression showed no abnormality whatsoever.

"To vent emotions..."

Now that she knows the real Kiana didn't die, and that she's had her emotions released, Kiana should feel better when she wakes up, right?

He stroked his smooth chin with his right hand, a hint of distress showing on his handsome face.

"With Anna and Himeko as examples, the identity of Herrscher shouldn't be too much of a problem..."

No, that's not right. Kiana's situation is different from theirs. If she puts herself in the same shoes as Sirin, she would probably still be limited by her identity.

Moreover, since the original Kiana is still alive, Kiana might still harbor thoughts of taking over the other person's identity and life...

As she spoke, a troubled look appeared on You Lan Dai Er's handsome face as she vigorously scratched her blonde hair, which was styled into a high ponytail.

However, You Lan Dai Er is You Lan Dai Er after all. Although troubled, she is still thinking about how to solve the problem.

"In that case, the most important thing now is probably to find the missing Miss Kiana."

But..."

You Lan Dai Er scratched his head at the thought of what he would need to do to solve Kiana 'Kiana problem.

"Hehe...

Okay, stop worrying.

Seeing You Lan Dai Er like this was a rare sight for Gwyn, Gwen softly and reached out to smooth the worry from her brow.

Give her some time, and warm her heart little by little with time and care.

Only when she truly had something in her heart did she have the ability to face the world.

"That's true..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, You Lan Dai Er, troubled by the sudden news, raised her hand and patted her forehead.

"It was only after experiencing a lot that I came to a realization and became more resolute in my beliefs."

"But before that, you already had a vague goal in mind, though it wasn't very clear."

That journey only accelerated the process.

Gwen said with a smile.

"You can't say that. Without that journey, I really can't be sure if I would be the same person I am today."

Some emotions only arise after experiencing certain specific events, which in turn bring about changes in a person.

You Lan Dai Er shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"Hmm... that seems to make sense..."

I vaguely remember someone saying that you were quite mischievous and naughty when you were little, You Lan Dai Er ...

"Cough... I was just ignorant when I was little..."

Upon hearing You Lan Dai Er, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Yulandal's handsome face. He strategically coughed and began to try to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, Gwen, when did you set your mind on your beliefs and gradually get to where you are now?"

"As for me... I'm not as inspiring as you—"

When Gwen heard this question, a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face—

"My initial efforts were simply out of fear—"

Although given my circumstances at the time, even if I tried my best, there was no guarantee of success, the exhaustion and sweat brought me a greater sense of peace than helpless prayer.

At least, I can run faster than some people now...

"That bear theory?"

Hearing Gwen's words, You Lan Dai Er blinked, a look of curiosity on his face.

"More or less..."

However, that was more of a psychological suggestion I made to myself at the time.

Gwen smiled, but his thoughts gradually drifted back to the past—

As for truly setting goals...

I don't know, it just happened like this without me realizing it.

Perhaps it was Rita's smile one day, or perhaps it was the hug Anna gave me after we teamed up to defeat Ganesha, which almost caused me internal injuries, or perhaps...

Was it your repeated encouragement?

In short, although I didn't have as exciting a journey as you, I still felt the beauty of life and was clearly aware that this beauty could be taken away by Honkai at any time.

To continue this beautiful existence, I must become stronger, much stronger, so strong that no villain dares to covet me, and even the Honkai must bow before me.

"Yes, you've done it now."

With her hands clasped together and her chin resting on them, You Lan Dai Er stared intently at Gwen, whose face was reflected in her Gwen.

"Didn't you just rescue Anna from the Herrscher not long ago?"
