On the contrary, she seemed very happy??
"I feel like... their relationship is unexpectedly good..." Lucy said, stroking her chin, looking at Finn who was chatting happily with Princess Hisui.
"Speaking of which, Finn doesn't seem to have ever mentioned this before," Gray said.
"Could it be... there's some unknown past in this?" A series of love stories between a princess and a commoner seemed to appear in Lucy's mind.
"I said, is it really okay for you to gossip like this..." Nancy said helplessly.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Finn and the others, seeing that there was nothing else to do, also bid farewell and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Hisui stopped Lucy and Yukino: "Um... about the Eclipse Gate, we might still need your help later."
Hearing Hisui's words, Finn looked at Hisui.
"I think I've already made it very clear, about the fact that going back to the past won't change our current situation, that Arcadios next to you should be very clear about."
"What I'm talking about might not be because of that," However, contrary to Finn's expectations, Hisui denied this.
She explained softly: "Because that involves highly classified information, so there's no way to say it right now."
Finn and the others looked at each other, and then said, "Since that's the case, then let's wait until the time is right."
Seeing this, Hisui nodded slightly, and then clenched her small fist to cheer for Finn and the others:
"Also... Lord Finn, you have to do your best in the Grand Magic Games!"
Seeing this, the few people also smiled, and responded: "Thanks, Princess Hisui!"
——————
Looking at the backs of the few people leaving.
Combining the last words that Hisui had just said, Arcadios seemed to understand something, and said softly:
"Princess... are you really sure you want to trust that person's words?"
Princess Hisui pursed her lips, and the smile that had just appeared on her face completely disappeared, and her jewel-like eyes were also filled with confusion.
"Actually... I don't know whether I should trust him or not..."
"After all... the things involved are really too big."
Looking at this kind of Princess Hisui, Arcadios couldn't help but feel a little cherish.
He had watched Hisui grow up.
From a carefree childhood, to now having to shoulder the fate of the entire Fiore Kingdom.
How difficult this was, could even be said to be unimaginable.
Princess Hisui lowered her head slightly: "Perhaps, everything will only be decided after the Grand Magic Games are over."
"If... things really are as that person said..."
After a moment of silence, Princess Hisui raised her head again, and the confusion in her eyes completely disappeared.
Replaced by an unprecedented firmness.
"Then I will personally open the real Eclipse Project, that is, [Eclipse Project 2]!"
[Palace of Hues Mercurius]
Located on the observation deck at the highest point of the castle.
Here, you can have a panoramic view of the night scenery of the entire Flower Capital, Crocus.
Darton, who was the Minister of Defense, was standing on the edge of the observation deck, carrying his hands behind his back, the beautiful night scenery of the Flower Capital came into view, but there was no trace of appreciation in his eyes.
All that was there was deep worry, worrying about the unknown future of this country.
A crisp sound of footsteps came from behind.
Slightly turning his head, Darton looked at Princess Hisui and Arcadios behind him.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long," Hisui came to Darton's side.
And said softly.
"Compared to the future, this little bit of time is nothing at all..." Darton's old eyes were tightly fixed on Princess Hisui.
"Princess, about the Eclipse, I must ask you to think about it carefully, that thing is too dangerous!" His tone became excited.
"The world must not be changed!"
Facing Darton's question, Hisui pursed her lips.
Turning around to look at this town, the cool evening breeze blew up her emerald green hair, and she said softly: "No, I'm afraid this world can't be left unchanged."
"Afraid?" Darton seized on this word.
"Originally, this matter must not be told to anyone, I've already promised that person, but now it seems that I have to tell you," Hisui lowered her head.
"Regarding the real Eclipse Project, that is, the purpose of Eclipse Project [2]..."
—————
On the way back to the tavern from the palace.
Lucy had been thinking about the words that Hisui had just said.
"What do you guys think... what exactly did Princess Hisui mean by that last sentence?"
Lucy looked at the few people on the side.
"Didn't Princess Hisui say that she would naturally tell us when the time was right?" Nancy said.
"But, I'm really curious!" Lucy scratched her golden hair irritablely.
"Why think so much," Natsu skimmed his mouth.
"You novelists all like to get to the bottom of things, right," Finn, who was walking in front, laughed.
"I think it's just being too curious," Happy complaint.
Yukino, who was walking next to Lucy, also grabbed the corner of her clothes, and said a bit embarrassed: "Um... I'm also very curious."
"Actually, we can also analyze a little," Finn touched his chin, and thought.
"I guess the Eclipse Gate has another use, and the so-called returning to the past is probably just a cover, used to cover up the real purpose."
"A second use..." Lucy meditated for a while.
"Speaking of which, could it still be something like summoning Celestial Spirits," Gray looked at Lucy and said his guess.
"Look, that thing is a gate, and the keys to open the gate are Celestial Spirit keys, it's very similar to Lucy's magic."
You have to say, Gray's words were quite reasonable.
Hearing Gray's words, Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.
"That's right, I can ask Grandpa Crux!"
After saying this, she took out a silver key with a cross symbol.
"Open, Gate of the Southern Cross Constellation - Crux!"
A burst of silver-white magic circles flashed.
A Celestial Spirit with a huge cross for a head, who looked a bit old, appeared in front of the crowd.
"Oh~ Lucy has a Celestial Spirit like this!" Looking at the figure floating in the air in front of them.
The crowd couldn't help but praise, although everyone didn't know what he did...
Facing the crowd's compliments, Lucy was obviously very used.
"Grandpa Crux is an expert in Celestial Spirit studies, he has a lot of information connecting the Celestial Spirit World and the human world, so I think he might know information about the Eclipse Gate."
Saying this, Lucy looked at Crux.
"Grandpa Crux, I have something I want to ask you, please help me find out information about the Eclipse Gate."
"Really," Crux nodded slightly, said a catchphrase that no one knew the meaning of, and then closed his eyes.
Everyone's gazes also couldn't help but turn to the big cross in front of them.
The scene fell silent for a while.
One minute... two minutes...
Snore... Snore...
"Eh?!?"
In the crowd's surprised gazes, a snoring sound came from Crux's mouth.
"He's dozing off, Lucy," Happy hinted with black lines on his head.
To this, Lucy waved her hand very confidently: "Don't worry, he's searching for information."
Happy looked again in disbelief.
The even breathing, the snot bubble on his nose, and the strand of saliva that had somehow hung on the corner of his mouth.
Happy shook his head in disbelief: "You're kidding, he's definitely sleeping!"
"Yamu!!!" Suddenly, Crux, who had looked like he was still fast asleep, shouted in horror.
His eyes seemed to have bloodshot because of surprise.
The sudden change scared everyone in an instant.
But Lucy seemed very used to it, and hurriedly asked: "How is it, did you find it?"
"No..." Crux immediately returned to calm, and shook his head.
"..."
