Chapter 268: "Kiana decision"

When did this all start?

Kiana can no longer believe everything Thea says.

She is a liar.

Since her admiration for Siegfried and Thea collapsed, Kiana understood a truth.

Adults can make mistakes too, they are not always right.

Kiana wanted to ask Thea specifically about her plans for the stigmata world. However, that opportunity never came again.

One month passed, Thea still hadn't woken up.

Two months have passed, Thea is still sleeping today without any signs of waking up.

Thea waking up that day and spending time with her all night was just like a dream.

Kiana continued to wait stubbornly for the answer she wanted. But after waiting for half a year, Thea still didn't wake up.

Kiana looked at the cold soup she made on the table, and she felt that the house was very quiet.

During this half year, the appearance of Honkai impact began to become more frequent. The new Herrscher looks like it will come down soon.

However, Kiana ignored that.

For the first time in her life, Kiana neglected her duties as a Valkyrie, and she continued to wait at home, in case Thea suddenly woke up one day.

It's been a long wait.

"Why do you sacrifice yourself for others?" Wilson who was in Schicksal prison, raised her head.

Wilson saw Kiana who had come to visit her. Since she was captured by Aurora, the Herrscher of Wind gem on her body has been removed.

Kiana asked once again: "I've read your files. You're not under his control at all, so why do you still obey Gray Serpent's orders even though you know he's taking advantage of you?"

Hearing this, Wilson, who was behind bars, laughed as if she was hearing a very funny joke.

"Kiana... If you really want to understand my feelings, then there is one question I want to ask you. Since when have you ever been selfish?"

These words made Kiana speechless.

From the start, Wilson was never controlled by the Gray Serpent. She did everything willingly.

Even though her actions were completely incomprehensible to the other party, even though she would not get what she deserved, she would still choose the same path.

Because, she is a selfish person.

She fights for what she thinks is worth fighting for.

Consequences weren't something she ever cared about in the first place.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, what's wrong? Why does your face look so gloomy?" Sirin asked with concern.

"Nothing. Sister Sirin, there is something I want to ask you. What is your purpose in life?"

"I didn't expect our initial conversation to be such a deep topic."

Sirin was speechless.

Kiana has a reason to ask this. Everyone around her seemed to belong to a clear life goal.

Bianka aims to become a very strong valkyrie to be able to protect all people. She trains her own body selflessly, and demands to always surpass her former self.

Everyone around her was the same.

Thea also chose to leave her home on her twelfth birthday and team up with Otto to make the world a better place.

They all made very clear choices. Compared to her who just wanted to surpass them all...

"What you're asking isn't that right? You're just having difficulty making a choice."

Sirin sat next to Kiana, and she crossed her arms while thinking.

"Listen, I don't know what you want, but as a kind sister I will give you some wise advice that I found on the internet."

"Do what you think you can do as best as possible. If you fail, then you won't feel regret because you have tried your best."

Looking at the light in Sirin's eyes, Kiana didn't know whether they were words of wisdom that she had found on the internet, or whether they were from Sirin's own experience.

But what is certain is that these things made Kiana smile.

"Kiana, even though at your age now valkyrie doesn't have a clear ban on drinking alcohol, I will still not allow it!"

"Dad, I'm not here to drink."

Siegfried nodded: "Good, the only drunkard in this family can only be me. Don't let your mother become anxious again."

Inside the bar specially made for valkyries, Kiana sat next to Siegfried and the bartender made her a glass of cold tea.

Kiana sat in silence, which did not suit the atmosphere of the bar, and Siegfried's face was currently red from drunkenness.

"It's rare to see you like this, is there something you're hesitant about?"

"Dad I..."

Kiana wanted to convey her doubts that she had been harboring, but when they reached her throat, the words were swallowed back.

Siegfried could also see Kiana who was hesitating. Seeing the reflection of the beer in the glass, Siegfried smiled.

"Actually, looking at you all makes me feel like an old man. I really don't understand young people's thoughts at all."

"Bianka, Thea, Aurora, Sirin... After that you. You all slowly became adult children without me realizing it."

"Kiana, the thing I'm most proud of you is that you never forget what your purpose is. Just like now, your wings also seem to be hard. You will become an adult like them."

"But, there is something you need to remember."

Siegfried looked at Kiana with a gentle smile.

"If you're tired, come back home. In the eyes of me and Cecilia, you're still our silly little girl."

Receiving Siegfried's confirmation, Kiana now no longer doubts.

Her wings have always been hard. She just needed a reason to fly.

Kiana's reason for becoming a valkyrie is to protect the people she loves.

In the past, when she came out of the third bubble world after helping Bronya find Seele, Kiana always had nightmares.

The people she cared about died one by one in front of her without her being able to do anything.

Welt Yang just stared at her silently.

Kiana doesn't want to be like him.

That's why, this time she won't let anyone sacrifice for her.

Looking at the butterfly ribbon in her hand, and thinking about the figure of the little girl she met in the world of stigma, Kiana smiled gently.

"Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla, I have found a way for humanity to defeat the honkai."

"Please make me herrscher of Finality."

Now, Kiana will have no doubts.

This time, she would protect her.
