I, the Knight King, wield my sword for my myriad subjects.

Therefore, he actually did not remember the specific circumstances of Mr. Lawson and Miss Lani's arrival in Frostraven.

All I remember is that after Mr. Lawson moved to Frostraven, he brought young Lani to the lord's manor to visit the butler, Leon.

Lani then recounted this experience from her perspective:

"After settling down in Frostraven, Grandpa Lawson obtained permission from Grandpa Leon, the steward of Blackrock Territory, to open a tavern."

In response, Grandpa Lawson took me to the lord's manor to pay a visit to Grandpa Leon.

According to Grandpa Lawson, Grandpa Leon was his comrade-in-arms from many years ago.

The two of them once served a highly respected prince, who was also the down-on-his-luck Lord of Blackrock, your father, Little Lion.

At the time, I wasn't interested in these things.

It was only after living in Frosty Crow Town for a long time that I learned about it from my grandfather.

Let's go back to that time.

After meeting with Grandpa Leon, Grandpa Lawson wanted to pay his respects to the then Lord of Blackrock.

He noticed that I was bored and uninterested.

So he led me to a pavilion in the lord's manor and told me that I could wander around nearby, but not go far.

It was then that I met the little lion for the first time.

At this point, Lani suddenly turned her head and stared at Arthur with a resentful look:

"But that blockhead who only knows how to practice swordsmanship seems to have forgotten what happened when we first met."

"hey-hey!"

Sensing the girl's resentful gaze, Arthur could only shrug and laugh it off.

Because he genuinely doesn't remember his first encounter with Lani when she was a child.

"Ugh."

Seeing his behavior, Lani sighed helplessly.

But then she lowered her eyes, her gaze seemingly holding a bright, blooming flower.

Next.

Her tone of voice also became cheerful:

"Hmph! Back then, I was sitting in the pavilion and saw a wooden figure in the shape of a human standing on the lawn opposite the pavilion, constantly swinging and sheathing his sword."

I got very annoyed after looking at it for a while, so I walked up to it and started criticizing the piece of wood for its monotonous movements.

But to my surprise, I hadn't even said a few words yet.

The piece of wood blushed and its eyes welled up with tears.

Then, relying on the wooden sword in his hand, he chased after me and attacked me.

Seeing that things were going badly, I ran away as fast as I could.

That blockhead kept crying and chasing after me, hitting me... Pfft, hahaha!

As she finished speaking, Lani lowered her head and couldn't help but laugh.

Arthur could easily tell that the "wooden blockhead" she was referring to was a veiled reference to himself.

Although he did not remember his first encounter with Miss Lani, his own childish image made it difficult for him, the person involved, to believe it.

After listening, he couldn't help but complain:

"Miss Lani's storytelling skills are so good that even a three-year-old would have a hard time being fooled."

After his rant, Lani gradually stopped laughing.

She looked up again, stuck her tongue out at Arthur, and made a face:

"Little lion, you're always so boring."

Arthur smiled knowingly:

"The way Miss Lani looks now is the Miss Lani I know."

"Little lion, after you know about my past, can you tell me?"

Arthur's words moved the girl. Lani looked at him earnestly and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Do you really still think of me as Lani, and not as an outsider occupying someone else's body?"

Until this moment.

Arthur finally understood what Miss Lani meant:

"No, the witch's resurgence is simply my inevitable 'destiny.'"

He gave his answer almost without hesitation:

"Of course, you are Lani, Miss Lani whom I have known for nine years."

I don't know what Miss Lani's blank period of experience was like.

But I know that Miss Lani is now a bright, kind, and generous young woman, full of energy and beauty.

He didn't lie.

This was a genuine compliment from him.

Lani, upon hearing this, sensed the sincerity in the words and her pretty face flushed even more.

Arthur paused, then continued:

“Miss Lani, you shouldn’t be troubled by not having memories of the past, or question the legitimacy of your existence.”

I think it's definitely the right thing to do to continue living well as someone in this body.

As for its meaning, we'll find it eventually.

Arthur's words were like a ray of dawn, dispelling the gloom that had been weighing on Lani's heart.

The girl laughed again and teased:

"Pfft! Little lion, when did you start spouting grand principles?"

"So, Miss Lani, you must not say anything pessimistic or self-destructive again."

But Arthur still looked intently at the girl:

"You are not a 'vessel' created for the witch's resurgence; you are Ranie, living for yourself."

After saying that, Arthur extended a hand to Lani and then tilted his head.

Lani understood immediately and took the hand:

"Then I will also try my best to fight against the fate of being possessed by the witch's will in the future."

The voice just fell.

Lani suddenly felt dizzy.

She closed her eyes, her consciousness venturing deep into her own mind.

They entered a spiritual world that only they could observe.

Lani's consciousness saw a ghostly blue spirit girl wandering in her mental world.

"Vivi!"

Lani saw the appearance of the spirit girl and revealed her identity.

Back to the real world.

She called out Vivi's name in unison, both physically and mentally, which caught Arthur's attention.

He quickly recalled the scene of his confrontation with the witch Morgan:

Back then, the witch Morgan, who possessed Lani's body, imprisoned and showed her not only Lani's soul, but also the soul of another girl, Vivi.

He immediately understood Lani's situation:

"By the way, Miss Vivi's soul should still be inside Miss Lani's body!"

Think about this.

Arthur, dragging his tired body, quickly got up and walked briskly towards Vivi, who was not far from them.

At this time.

Lani's consciousness returned to the real world, and she got up to follow Arthur's steps.

soon.

The two approached the unconscious girl, Vivi.

Arthur lifted her off the lawn and found that her vital signs were stable.

Lani kept a certain distance from the girl Vivi and even raised the strange bracelet she was tightly clutching in her hand.

this moment.

She recalled something very important.

Back then, when we were trapped in a space shrouded in gray mist.

In Lani's eyes, the girl Vivi's simple linen dress had somehow been replaced by an exquisite and gorgeous fitted black silk dress.

After a standoff, Lani realized that the witch's will had taken over Vivi's body.

But just as she thought this way...

In the blink of an eye, Weiwei suddenly reverted to wearing a simple linen dress and appeared in front of her as if by teleportation.

Then, she snatched the protective bracelet that Grandpa Lawson had given her.

After that, she fainted.

Then I recalled my first encounter with the young girl Vivi at the lord's manor not long ago.

Lani realized:

This girl, two years younger than her, was also a "vessel" for the witch Morgan, just like her.

Chapter 116 finally ends

"Ms. Lani?"

Arthur frowned as he looked at Lani's wary expression.

Then, he looked at Weiwei, the girl who had fainted in his arms.

He quickly recalled:

When he was defeating the witch Morgan, he found the key strange bracelet that Lani had mentioned in Vivi's hands.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to guess:

Miss Lani was protected by the bracelet and was not possessed by the witch Morgan, but because of the variable of the girl Vivi, she was later possessed by her.

“Little Lion, Vivi seems to have a close connection with the witch who possessed my body before, just like me.”

Lani didn't dwell on her previous thoughts; she tried to calm her inner panic.

She then recounted to Arthur without reservation her first encounter with the young girl Vivi at the lord's manor not long ago.

She had a gut feeling:

It seems that from that time onward, the signs of the witch's resurgence became increasingly strong.

Thinking of this, Lani's thoughts couldn't help but sink.

She lowered her eyes, and with a look of pity, put down the bracelet she was clutching in her hand.

"Little Lion, Vivi is being targeted by the witch within me because of me..."

"No, Miss Lani!"

Arthur promptly interrupted her self-pity and then shared with her about the witch apostle Franky:

"The bandit gang that invaded Blackrock Territory this time is very likely the same guys who wiped out Vivi and Lancelot's hometown before."
