Chapter 87
The night gradually faded away, and the sun was about to rise.
On the ruins of [House of Hearth], Krevy and Peruvili sat on a collapsed eaves.
The two were very close to each other, and Krevy stretched out a hand, staring blankly at her hand with green eyes.
"Pepe..."
Krevy called Peruvili beside her softly.
"I'm here, Krevy."
Peruvili responded with the most gentle tone of her life.
"Do you think the aurora in winter is really colorful? I've always heard others say it, but I still have to see it with my own eyes to believe it."
Krevy smiled faintly, her eyes were very gentle.
"I don't know... maybe you should go and see it."
Peruvili choked up, feeling particularly heavy.
At the end of the test, only Krevy and herself were left, and the rule given by that woman Kugavina was that only one could survive...
Kugavina, Krevy is your biological daughter, do you really want to see our friends kill each other?
Peruvili could probably guess that Kugavina must be hiding on a hill near [Heart House] at this moment, spying on their situation with a telescope.
In addition, there must be many Fatui soldiers ambushed around [Heart House], waiting for the end of the test to come up and clean up the test room.
Although Peruvili killed most of the people in this test and her own strength was strengthened, Peruvili was not confident that she could escape with Krevy successfully in the face of the Fatui soldiers' siege.
She was in a very bad state at the moment, with a lot of physical strength consumed and her mind very tired.
If she was in her peak state with the power of the curse, Peruvili might dare to fight and break through with Krevy and Sophia.
But now...
Sophia is dead, she doesn't have much fighting power left, and Krevy is also seriously injured.
Escape is just a dream.
"I'm sorry, Krevy... I couldn't take you away from here..."
Peruvian lowered his head, his heart aching.
"Huh? Why apologize, Pepe? Our fate is destined to be like this. You are also a human being, and your power is limited."
Krevy took back her hand, she turned sideways, and put her hands on Peruvian's shoulders.
"Pepe, you don't have to be sad about these unfounded things, nor do you have to apologize for them. You never owe anyone anything, and you have always worked very hard."
"If I were strong enough, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this... In the final analysis, all this is because of my own shortcomings. These have nothing to do with Pepe."
"On the contrary, Pepe, you have always taken care of me and Yaya. I think, if it weren't for you, Yaya and I might have died a long time ago..."
"But now, Yaya and I have lived for so many more years, and these are all thanks to you, Pepe!"
"So, Pepe, don't blame yourself, you are the strongest among us! You are a role model for Yaya and me, you can't show your weak side..."
"Pepe, Yaya and I have always believed in you, this has never changed, and it won't change in the future."
Krewei's green eyes are so serious, so gentle, and the sadness hidden in them is so heavy.
"Krewei, you... are you going to..."
Peruvian couldn't say it, she couldn't accept this ending.
"Krewei, there must be a way, we can definitely survive!"
Peruvili rejected Krewei's suggestion without thinking, she was anxious to change Krewei's mind.
This action made her, who was usually the calmest person, act emotionally, while Krewei was the most rational.
Krewei smiled and shook her head, then she stood up, picked up a long sword from the ground, and held the hilt.
"Pepe, you and I are the ones who know [Mother] best, and we both know that the rules she set will never change. I think at this moment, [Mother]'s people must be surrounding [House of Hearth]."
Krewei took a fighting stance, and her eyes gradually became cold.
"Our fate has long been determined, and we are too weak to resist. At this moment, all I can do is follow the script of [Mother] and fight with you, Pepe, to the end."
"No! Krewei, wait a moment, we will definitely have a chance!"
Peruvili stood up quickly, she tried to stop Krewei, and at the same time her body subconsciously grasped her cavalry sword.
This was an instinctive habit, and Peruvili was too anxious to notice it.
Peruvili didn't want to lose Krewei again, her best friend, she had already lost Sophia. Peruvili couldn't imagine what would happen if she lost Krewei again."Pepe, attack!"
Krewei suddenly shouted, and she rushed towards Peruvili with her sword.
It seemed that she didn't want to listen to Peruvili's nonsense anymore, and seemed to be afraid that her determination would be shaken.
However, facing the edge of Krewei's sword, Peruvili did not react at all.
Her hand holding the cavalry knife was shaking, and her body subconsciously wanted to fight back, but she was stopped abruptly.
I can't... hurt Krewei!
Peruvili gritted her teeth, she didn't take any precautions, and generously showed her chest in front of Krewei's sword tip. As long as Krewei stabbed, the person who survived in the end would be Krewei.
It's okay, it's all the same...
Peruvili thought so.
Although Peruvili could kill the enemy mercilessly, she couldn't do it to her friends.
She still overestimated her cold-bloodedness. She thought she was a sinister villain who would do anything to survive, but she didn't expect that Krevy and Sophia had already left an indelible mark in her heart.
However, Krevy's next move shocked Peruvili.
"No! Krevy!"
Krevy changed her sword-holding posture. She grabbed the hilt of the sword and stabbed the sword into her body less than two meters away from Peruvili.
Peruvili couldn't stop her in time. This was not what she thought!
The suicide Krevy didn't die immediately. She slowly approached the unconscious Peruvili and hugged her.
"Pepe... Can you... see... the aurora of winter for me... ok..."
"I believe Pepe... will... become... a very good... [king]..."
"... Sorry, I broke my promise..."
"... Thank you, Pepe..."
Krevy's body gradually slipped, and the test ended with Peruvili's victory.
When the morning light appeared, hundreds of well-equipped Fatui soldiers rushed in and quickly surrounded Peruvian.
Then, Kugavina came with elegant steps.
"Congratulations, my dear [daughter], you survived."
"Take her away, the tricky mad dog can't be stopped."
