The battle between the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance against the Black organization has finally ended, and it was clear for everyone to see that this war is won by the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance. While the Black organization was thoroughly beaten with its Vice-president left with no choice but to retreat with her tail in between both of her legs.

At the top of the Southern Fortress north wall, Leo was watching Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain help each other as they then slowly fly towards them.

"The battle is over!" Leo exclaimed out loud as he raised the Death Wake Dagger to the air.

"We won!!"

"Victory to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance!!"

"Victory!!"

"Victory!!"

"Victory!!"

Screams of triumph echoed throughout the entire Southern Fortress with numerous weapons raised to the air.

After the war that lasted for a few hours, with thousands of casualties, and many adversities, they have finally won.

All the soldiers along with Leo and the others gathered in a square right in front of the destroyed beyond recognition Commander's Palace of the Southern Fortress.

Moments later, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain finally landed in the middle.

"All hail, Queen Olivia!!"

"All hail, Queen Maria!!"

"All hail, Madam Silva!!"

"All hail, Elder Rain!!"

What followed after was an even louder shout than before. After all, the battle against Barbara was the real decider to whether they would win this battle or not. If Barbara wasn't defeated, then even if the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance was able to conquer the Southern Fortress, they would still be helpless against a 1st Constellation Special Mage, no matter what they would do.

Although they knew that it was partly because of them why they had defeated Barbara, but it wouldn't have happened without Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and especially Elder Rain's distracting her until they were finally able to position every war weapons.

"Everyone, quiet down, let our heroes speak a few words!" Leo informed everyone.

Hearing Leo's words, everyone immediately quiets down. Even those soldiers at the very far back didn't make any sound in respect to the 4 heroes of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance.

"Thank you, Commander Leo," Queen Olivia was the first one to take the honor of speaking to everyone. She continued, "Like you, all can see, we have won the battle against the Black organization, not only did it give us the Southern Fortress in return, but it had also helped the entire Human race for we have stopped whatever cancer called Black organization was trying to do in Silver Kingdom. So, we have not only won as the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance but also as a member of the Human race!!"

Suddenly, Queen Maria stepped forward, "Not only that, but it is also a battle won by us the Mermaid race as well. This battle would inflict great damage to those people, whichever race they belong to, with no good intention to us!"

Then, Madam Silva stepped forward next, "This battle would also go into the annals of history as we have defeated not only the Black organization but also one of the most prominent members they have, Vice-president Barbara the Perfect Disguise. Only a few of you know this, but Barbara is someone that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths to not only the Human race but also to the other Foreign races, so be proud of yourselves for you have contributed as well in defeating the despicable Barbara!"

Lastly, the greatest of all the 4 heroes, the mysterious yet powerful, Elder Rain finally stepped forward, "However, this battle doesn't end with just this victory. We still need to go forward to the north to defeat the Silver royal family and the last remnants of the Black organization in the Silver Kingdom, specifically at the Williams city. I'm not telling you not to be proud of yourselves, you can, really, but prepare yourselves still, for we would only recognize that we have really won once the Silver Kingdom is finally in the hands of the Mischievous Lion organization!!"

Hearing that, countless voices of approval and applause sounded through the entire square.

"But before that, let's celebrate for this victory that belongs to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance!!"

"Victory!!"

"All hail, Queen Olivia!!"

"All hail, Queen Maria!!"

"All hail, Madam Silva!!"

"All hail, Elder Rain!!"

.....

When the night finally came, a huge bonfire was suddenly lightened up in the middle of the square. Foods and beverages were immediately served by the surviving civilians of the Southern Fortress to the thousands of tables where soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance were eating and enjoying their time.

Women and other performers were dancing nearby the bonfire, making the place boisterous and joyous.

After every battle, such kind of celebration would always be required in order to lighten up everyone's mood and to also minimize the psychological factor cause after killing too many people. 

"Bring me another beer!!"

"In our table as well!!"

"Bring more food to our table!!"

"Over here as well!!"

Meanwhile, up above the destroyed beyond recognition Commander's Palace, a different celebration for the heroes and the important members of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance was taking place.

Unlike down in the square, in this place, there were lanterns instead to brighten up the dark surrounding. Waiters were in-charged of serving the food and beverages instead of the surviving civilians. And professional musicians were performing music to match up the atmosphere.

Everyone was now wearing exquisitely designed dresses and noble clothes. Some were dancing in the middle along with the music, while others were chatting about random different things.

Suddenly, a man wearing a white mask walked in the middle of the dancing crowd as he slowly walked towards the direction of the heroes table.

Despite wearing a mask, it was obvious for everyone to assume that this man is not hiding an ugly face but rather a very handsome face.

Moments later, this man, who was actually Reinhart using the alias of Elder Rain, stood in front of Queen Olivia who was dressed in a dark blue nightgown, "Queen Olivia, how's your injury?"

"Don't worry, it's fine. How about you, did your merging with the Dark Phoenix caused you some internal injuries?" Queen Olivia replied.

"Fortunately, there wasn't, and it was all thanks to you." Elder Rain said.

"Just forget about it. I only did what I see was correct to do in such a situation." Queen Olivia smiled beautifully at Elder Rain. 

Just seeing this smile alone, Elder Rain can't help remembering the first time he had met Olivia. It was one beautiful morning. When he was training by a lake, he suddenly saw one very beautiful woman sitting on the ground right beside the lake while drinking tea with herself alone. This woman immediately captivated his eyes. Without any bit of hesitation, he then approached this woman and asked what her name was, to which she replied with, "Olivia!". He then requested if it was okay to join her, to which she nodded in response. It was then the mark of the beginning of their love story.

Their love story was almost similar to what Reinhart usually reads in books. At that time, he discovered that he actually has weaker cultivation compare to Olivia's. Because of that, her family despises him and doesn't agree with him pursuing her. Her family did everything to separate the both of them. But, he didn't allow it to stop him. And until eventually, they decided to get married. Obviously, since her family was against him, they can only hold it secretly while only inviting some of their close friends and people who support them.

However, just like every love story, there would always be a tragedy. In one fateful evening when their wedding was secretly being held, an unidentified group barged in and attacked everyone, which Elder Rain has finally discovered after some investigation was actually the Black organization. With how unprepared everyone was, they found themselves having a hard time defending themselves against the intruders, hence causing them an easy defeat. And in the last moment, when there were only a few people remaining on their side, he and Olivia finally stepped forward to fight against the intruder to their wedding.

In the end, they were still forced to escape as their opponents were much more powerful than they have anticipated. And it was during this escape where Olivia received the scar on her very beautiful face.

"I really wonder this ever since I first saw you, but is there any special meaning to that scar on your face? If it's rude to ask, then just forget that I've asked that question." Elder Rain asked. 

"Oh this," Queen Olivia slowly touched the scar on her face as she can't help herself from reminiscing about the past. She had got this scar when she and her husband Reinhart were escaping away from the people who had suddenly intruded on their secret wedding, which she had already known their identity through the help of the Mischievous Lion organization, specifically it was the Black organization. It happened when she jumped forward in front of Reinhart to defend against an attack for him as she knew that he wouldn't be able to defend it with his weak cultivation.

Fortunately, they were still able to escape through the help of others. But since everything was already destroyed, they have no choice but to return to their humble house near that lake where they first meet since they can't continue with their official wedding anymore. But the next morning, Reinhart has suddenly disappeared while leaving only a letter saying that, "The last night has made me realized that I'm still extremely weak. So, I would be going in an adventure to find a way to become much more powerful. I will not allow what happened today to happen again in the near future as that might cause me to lose you. Until then, please wait for me!"

After reading that, Olivia didn't even cry as she crumpled the paper and said, "Idiot! Who says we can't grow strong together?" And hence, she decided to leave her family in order to look for him.

And after months of searching, Olivia finally discovered Reinhart's whereabouts through some of their friends, and it had been said that he was returning to his home, the Silver Kingdom, as his younger brother, Leo Heart, has encountered something very bad. Without any hesitation, she went and chased after him.

However, the moment Olivia finally arrived, she then unexpectedly found out that Reinhart has actually died. But, she wasn't a fool, she knows it's not the truth, for they have sworn an Oath that whoever died the other one would also follow. And since she didn't die, then obviously Reinhart should also be alive, somewhere in the Celestial World. But because she didn't have any clue where he was, she quickly went to look for his younger brother, Leo Heart, first, hoping to get some kind of information that will lead to Reinhart. Though, the moment she arrived she immediately discovered that Leo was actually trying to kill himself. She really can't believe that such a timid kid was actually the younger brother of a brave and heroic man such as Reinhart, though she later found out that Leo was always pampered by everyone in the Heart Noble Household hence he wasn't able to learn how to live alone. Because of that, she offered to become his Master which finally birthed the Leo of today.
