living in deceit is better than knowing a horrible truth

The aftermath

With the troops returning to the headquarters of the Raspberry house, the victory of the Berry Jungle Cookies was confirmed to everyone, and, as is the custom in that region, the 4 noble houses came together to hold a great celebration.

What a tight clothes, this is more work than fighting Pitaya Dragon!-HB (By the way, she is wearing the "Her Majesty's Grand Presence" outfit).

Hollyberry Cookie, we have to be very well dressed, I was told it was a very fancy party-WL says, while helping HB with her dress.

The two leave HB's room already ready (WL is wearing a blue dress full of white Lilies, if you ask)

The two met PV on the way to the party room (he was wearing the "Pastel Blue" outfit, but instead of jeans he is wearing more formal pants).

The three were talking through the corridors until they found the double doors of the party room, after opening, an opening song played (the song that plays in HB gacha animation), in front of the three there is a red carpet that led to the 4 nobles.

The three ancient cookies walk up to the nobles, and with great happiness, Sweet Raspberry Pie Cookie speaks up.

Before moving on to the main topic, please let's have a moment of silence for all 122 cookies who died in battle, may they be resting in a better place-SRP

All the Cookies in the room were silent, for about 5 minutes all the Cookies at the party were thinking about those they lost, and hoping that they are now in a better place.

The silence were finally broken with the announcement of the awards.

We, the 4 nobles of Berry Jungle are in front of these 3 heroes who helped a lot in the war, here are their awards!-RCC

For you little guy, who helped SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, we will give you a noble status!  If you want, you can live your life peacefully here, isn't it cool?????-CB

Thank you very much Crystallized Bumbleberry Cookie, I humbly accept my reward-PV

You, White Lily Cookie, who defeated several dragons and kept the cookies in my house safe, we will give you the right to make a request, whatever you want we will provide, I hope it is to your liking-BJ

Thank you very much Blueberry Jam Cookie-WL

Now, to you, Hollyberry Cookie, you who defeated Pitaya Dragon and defeated countless dragons, the 4 noble houses have agreed to make you our leader, and queen of the territory in what is now the Berry Jungle!-RCC

Congratulations Hollyberry Cookie, we declare you Queen of the Berry Jungle!-SRP

But it's an honor! I swear I won't disappoint, for the people of Berry Jungle! I will be your queen-HB

The guests gave shouts of joy and celebration, everyone made a big toast with their glasses full of juice.

So, in the middle of the celebrations, while everyone was distracted, WL called PV to talk alone.

Pure Vanilla, I have a question to ask... about the battle, what was that?  That... blue light?-WL

White Lily Cookie, this looks like some kind of Hollyberry-like power, and thanks to it I was able to heal all the Cookies during the battle-PV

And... how long have you had this power?-WL

...I gained this power during the battle against the dragons in Dragon's Valley-Pure Vanilla Cookie Lies

Now, let's go back to the party, I heard there's going to be a ball, and I already know who I'm going to dance with-PV says, extending his hand to White Lily with a smile.

You better know how to dance, because I don't-WL says laughing.

The two return to the main hall, but while the Hollyberry Kingdom was celebrating its newest (and first) Queen, other things were happening elsewhere.

The moon is reflected in the sea perfectly, and in that sea a legendary power notices a certain imbalance, something is happening in the northeast... something big, and all Sea Feary can do is try to warn other Elemental Cookies about it, but how?

My moon... the tides are changing, and the eclipse is almost here... what do I do, my moon, if I could see you, we would work it all out... together-Sea Feary Cookie(SF)

Meanwhile, in the northeast of Earthbread, Fearyhood is in chaos, the Feary Cookies are desperate, something that shouldn't be happening is happening, the seal, is breaking.

My king, Silver Tree's analysis reports have arrived!-Mercurial Knight Cookie(MK)

Say, what did you find? How is the seal being broken?-EF(Elder Feary Cookie)

It appears that some kind of external interference is occurring, something is breaking the outside of the seal while Shadow Milk Cookie breaks the inside-MK

Impossible! I can't see anyone trying to break the seal from the outside!-Silver Bell Cookie(SB)

Whoever is doing this might be doing it from a safe distance where we can't find them-EF

But how? How would he be breaking such a powerful seal? I believe almost nothing can break that seal easily-SB

There's only one thing that can unleash the power of Deceit from such a great distance, its other half, the Light of Truth, that's what's causing all this chaos-EF

Whoever wields the Light of Truth is, he has to stop, and quickly-MK

Somewhere in the desert, a golden egg hatches during a cheese bird worship ritual, and the great golden Goddess is born.

All hail our Golden Goddess! Let's worship the newly born and crowned Queen, GOLDEN CHEESE COOKIE-Cheese Bird Leader(CBL).

The cheese birds go crazy with happiness, they all bow to the small figure of Golden Cheese Cookie, who in the future will bring the greatest abundance, sadness and happiness to that desert.
