Everything that had just happened made Wilhelmina once again refresh her understanding of Hikaru before her.
Alastor was part of Tendōkyū, and the spiritual power in his body had innate buffs.
However, that earlier attack could be said to be a deadly attack that Alastor wagered with all his abilities.
But, before Hikaru, it was merely a futile effort.
Wilhelmina inevitably made her own view in her heart become deeper.
Previously she still hoped to continue maintaining the independence of the Flame Haze Army through the Shin Emperor's name.
But now, after witnessing all this, Wilhelmina truly abandoned that idea.
The Shin Emperor deigning to pay attention to them and choosing Shana was the greatest blessing for them.
If the Flame Haze Army made trouble with someone like this, or if someone like this had ill intentions toward the Flame Haze Army, then they could be said to be completely powerless.
Now, this man with extraordinary abilities stood before them, and offered conditions to obtain benefits that were even hard for them to believe.
Wilhelmina's gaze swept over Alastor lying on the ground, and her thoughts immediately returned.
She immediately stopped her fantasizing and rushed to where Alastor had collapsed.
She helped him up as quickly as possible.
Wilhelmina half-knelt on the ground, supporting Alastor's entire body, helping him stand slowly.
"Alastor, wake up, wake up!"
Wilhelmina's voice couldn't stop trembling.
Although they had just quarreled, although Alastor's actions might place them in an unfavorable position.
But at this moment, there was only one thought in Wilhelmina's mind, which was to make Alastor wake up immediately.
She knew very well how much damage that earlier attack had inflicted on Alastor's body.
Because of that, she was increasingly worried.
Everyone's attention was absorbed by the scene just now, truly neglecting Shana in Alastor's embrace.
"Waaah~ Waaah~"
Shana, still a baby, seeing the person holding her hadn't played with her for one or two minutes, couldn't help but cry.
Only then did Hikaru have the opportunity to observe Shana carefully, because after all, he came for this little child.
"Since childhood already looking like this, haha, interesting. Indeed it's you, even when reincarnating you're too lazy to change your appearance."
After saying that, Hikaru bent down and took Shana from the unconscious Alastor's embrace.
Wilhelmina of course wouldn't obstruct. Besides the trust she had in Hikaru before, she now had a little additional fear.
Shana also didn't struggle, even laughing when seeing someone holding her again.
"I truly never expected we would meet in a way like this."
Hikaru extended his hand and touched baby Shana's chubby cheek. Shana smiled innocently.
Wilhelmina now was more worried about the truly unconscious Alastor.
Seeing Hikaru and Shana's interaction, she felt awkward to interrupt. She only stared at Alastor with full sadness and worry.
Hikaru wasn't a fool, of course he understood Wilhelmina's concern.
Only, Wilhelmina preceded him before Hikaru had a chance to speak.
Wilhelmina bowed toward Hikaru, her voice choked.
"Presumptuous toward the Shin Emperor, truly guilty. I didn't know he would react this strongly."
"But... but all this is because he wanted to protect Shana, wanted to protect the Flame Haze Army. There was absolutely no intention to be presumptuous to you. It's my fault for not communicating clearly with him beforehand, so he mistakenly thought you were harming us."
"So, may I plead with the Shin Emperor to save his life!"
Hikaru while holding Shana, and seeing the deep brotherhood before him, laughed heartily.
"What drama is this? Is the Shin Emperor in your eyes a figure who is arbitrary with lives?"
Hikaru took a deep breath resignedly. He truly didn't understand how the Shin Emperor could have such an unfriendly image.
He could only pat his chest...
Wilhelmina suddenly raised her head when hearing Hikaru's words, her eyes shining.
"So you're saying, you'll save him? Is it true?"
"As long as the Shin Emperor can save his life, we will accept any punishment."
Wilhelmina unconsciously still linked their fates together.
Hikaru: "Does the Shin Emperor look like someone who withdraws promises? Doesn't keep promises? Or is too calculating?"
Hikaru said nothing more. He immediately stepped forward, and gently placed two fingers on Alastor's forehead.
The faint aura emanating from Hikaru's body slowly entered Alastor's body.
Wilhelmina clearly felt the person in her embrace begin to breathe.
"Alastor?! Alastor!?"
In Wilhelmina's gentle calls, Alastor slowly opened his eyes.
He endured the feeling of dizziness, strongly pulled Wilhelmina's hand, forcing himself to be conscious.
After quickly confirming his body's condition, he opened his eyes and immediately looked around.
"Wilhelmina..."
"Where's Shana!? Where's Shana!?"
