The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Xilin opened her eyes drowsily and looked beside her, but there was no one there.

Xilin wanted to get up quietly so as not to wake others, but just as she lifted the quilt, the door of the room was suddenly and gently pushed open.

"Wake up, Xilin, did you sleep well last night?"

Along with this gentle question, Cecilia's beautiful figure appeared at the door.

Xilin's body suddenly stiffened, and she turned her head away somewhat unnaturally, muttering:

"It's...it's okay."

Although her tone seemed a little cold and arrogant, in fact, her heart was as sweet as honey.

Cecilia smiled slightly, not seeming to care about Xilin's attitude, and said softly:

"Remember to come out for breakfast after you wash up."

"I see."

Xilin responded, then quickly got up from the bed and hurried into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Xilin looked at herself in the mirror. Her originally fair face now had a faint blush.

Then, Xilin seemed to come to her senses suddenly and patted her cheeks gently, trying to wake herself up from this sweet atmosphere.

She turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face without hesitation. The cold water stimulated her skin, causing the blush on her face to gradually fade away.

"Xilin, how could you be so easily controlled by your mother... Cecilia? Show your dignity as the Queen of Honkai!"

Xilin talked to herself while wiping the water droplets on her face with a towel. However, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing her true thoughts.

When Xilin finished washing up and walked out of the room, an alluring fragrance hit her nose.

She looked carefully and saw bread and toast with jam on the table. Then she glanced at Kiana☆ and Kiana who were sitting in front of the table. She didn't know when they came, but they had almost finished eating.

Afterwards, Cecilia served her a bowl of steaming porridge and placed it in front of her.

Xilin looked at the bowl of porridge, then looked at Cecilia. Although she still had that arrogant expression on her face, she still picked up the spoon obediently and began to eat slowly.

At this moment, Kiana☆ put down the bowl in her hand and said teasingly with a smile:

"Hey, Xilin, when did you become so well behaved?"

Xilin rolled her eyes at her and retorted:

"What do you care? I'm just hungry, not for any other reason!"

However, Kiana☆ still had a smile on her face, and looked at the stubborn Sirin with interest. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of teasing, as if she did not buy Sirin's explanation.

At this moment, Xilin suddenly seemed to remember something important and asked:

"Where's my brother? Where did he go?"

This question made the smile on Kiana☆'s face disappear without a trace in an instant.

Xilin then said:

"With the Herr of Knowledge?"

Kiana☆ secretly glanced at Cecilia's back, and after making sure that she didn't notice the movement here, she said angrily:

"You talk too much, drink your porridge!"

Seeing this, Xilin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and said softly:

"Hey, I got it right."

After breakfast, the three of them (Kiana, Kiana☆, and Silin) ​​gathered together and accompanied Cecilia for a walk outside.

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. They walked along the path on the campus, enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.

At first, Xilin deliberately kept a certain distance from the crowd and followed behind seemingly nonchalantly, but her eyes were always fixed on Cecilia's back.

Slowly, as time went by, she unconsciously moved closer to Cecilia.

Cecilia seemed to sense Xilin's approach. She smiled slightly, reached out her hand, and gently held Xilin's hand.

Xilin obviously had not expected this move. She was slightly startled, but quickly came to her senses. Not only did she not break free from Cecilia's hand, but she held her hand tightly back, as if she was afraid that she would lose this rare warmth if she let go.

Cecilia felt Silin's response and her smile became even brighter.

Cecilia's gaze slowly swept over the energetic, lively and lovely Valkyrie students around her, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes.

"Theresa really did it." Cecilia said softly, as if recalling something.

"By the way, Kiana, don't you have classes today? Is it really okay for you to walk with me?"

Cecilia suddenly turned her head and looked at Kiana beside her, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

When Kiana heard Cecilia's words, she quickly waved her hands and explained:

"Today is the coronation ceremony of my aunt becoming the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate. The whole world will be broadcast live so that everyone can witness this historic moment with their own eyes. That's why the school has decided to suspend classes for one day."

Cecilia nodded and asked:

"So when does the coronation ceremony start?"

"At twelve o'clock noon, the coronation ceremony will be officially held at the Tianming headquarters."

Kiana answered, then paused for a moment, as if she recalled something, and then sighed:

"Come to think of it, this is already my second time attending my aunt's coronation ceremony!"

Before she finished speaking, Kiana couldn't help but sigh softly, revealing a hint of regret, and secretly said in her heart:

"However, my aunt in that world didn't smile at all during her coronation ceremony, so I guess this time is different..."

Cecilia pondered for a moment, glanced at several people, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said:

"Since we still have some time, let's go shopping and pick out some nice clothes. By the way, let's see what has changed over the years."

In this way, the group came to a bustling large shopping mall, where the colorful lights and a wide range of goods dazzled them.

As soon as I walked into the mall, an atmosphere of fashion and prosperity hit me. The crowds were bustling, laughter echoed in every corner, and everyone was talking about the coronation ceremony of destiny.

Cecilia led everyone straight to the clothing area, where there were various styles of clothes, and each exquisite piece of clothing was hung on the display rack.

Kiana's eyes sparkled as she darted around among the clothes racks, saying excitedly:

"Wow, there are so many beautiful clothes, I don't know which one to choose!"

On the surface, Xilin still pretended to be indifferent, but her eyes were attracted by those gorgeous clothes from time to time.

She walked to a red dress and gently stroked the lace on the hem, with a hint of fondness in her eyes.

"This is from a dream..." Xilin murmured to herself, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

At this moment, Cecilia also came over. Her eyes fell on the dress in Xilin's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's the same dress as in my dream, Cecilia." There was a hint of surprise in Cecilia's voice.

However, hearing Cecilia's praise, Xilin blushed and continued to mutter stubbornly:

"Humph, this skirt is just so-so, buy it if you like it."

Kiana☆ seemed relatively calm, quietly selecting carefully. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she picked up a black high-slit evening dress and said:

"This one will definitely suit mom."

Hearing Kiana☆'s words, Cecilia turned around, walked to Kiana☆'s side, took the dress, and looked at it carefully.

"It looks great. Thank you, Kiana☆. I like this one very much. Have you chosen yours yet?"

Kiana☆ smiled and shook her head, gently stroking her bulging belly, and said softly:

"Forget it. I'm pregnant now and it won't look good in this outfit." There was a hint of helplessness in Kiana's voice, but more of it was love for the baby in her belly.

Cecilia nodded and said with empathy:

"Yeah, with a bulging belly, I can't wear any pretty clothes. How old is this little one?"

Then, Cecilia's eyes fell on Kiana☆'s belly, her eyes full of curiosity.

Kiana☆ touched her belly and replied with a smile:

"It's been five months."
