hero?it must be me

In the thick and wide palm lay a piece of light yellow wrapped candy.

"Eat it? Cheap sugar, you're welcome."

"Mr. Zheng Qi...you are..."

"You stare at me like that in the arena, any fool will know that you have something to say to me."

Zheng Qi tossed it casually: "Take it."

At this moment, Viviana didn't look like a good knight who had experienced many battles, but rather an ignorant little girl, and the movement of reaching out to pick up the candy seemed to be in a hurry.

"...I thought you were looking at Margaret."

"what?"

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows: "You two played so wonderfully, how could I not see you?"

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful duel."

"The moment the candle is extinguished is the moment when you truly cast your magic power."

"When the candlelight is flickering, you seem to be devouring the light in the entire arena, very powerful."

Zheng Qi sighed as if he was recalling what happened in the arena just now.

"...You only saw it once, and you can see the essence of my spell."

Viviana lowered her head slightly.

Her blond and soft hair hung down, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.

The two of them stood there like this, and seemed to have nothing to say for a while.

I don't know who is waiting for whom, so let's speak first.

After a while, it was Viviana who broke the silence first.

"...In the past, I hated these...Origin Stone skills. The better my spell talent, the more...it made me feel like I was reminding myself of my origin..."

Zheng Qi knew what Viviana was talking about.

Although her background is a mystery among ordinary people, in fact, it is not a secret among Casimir's high-level circles such as the Federation and the Supervisory Committee.

Therefore, in the information about Viviana in Xintraya's memory, there is actually this part of the content.

It's just that Zheng Qi has never been interested in these things, so he didn't find out the information until Viviana brought it up.

"Once upon a time, what about now?"

Zheng Qi asked plainly.

just now……

Viviana fell silent again.

"To put it simply, have you ever hated anyone because of your background?"

Zheng Qi's question made Viviana shake her head subconsciously.

Have you ever hated anyone?

Viviana remembered what the middle-aged man who was responsible for escorting her had said to herself when she was first sent to Casimir.

[Viviana Deroste, this is your name. 】

【You are a disgrace to the family... If other Leitanian nobles know about you, you will definitely become a tool for them to attack your father. 】

【You should be secretly exiled, or even executed, that tower should not have heard your cries. 】

【However...you were brought to Casimir, and you were entrusted to be raised by a war knight. 】

[No one even concealed your identity, your identity that should have been kept secret...]

[It's as if they all hope that you can live frankly. 】

[How respectable and sad...your noble father, your unknown mother, they all love you. 】

Have you ever hated anyone?

When I was young, I must have complained.

Why do I have to stay on the tower, why I can only stand by a cluster of small candles in the dark of night, why...

When I was young, I must have cried and thought a lot about why.

But now...

"I won't point fingers at your background—your heart knot, because I'm really not good at talking therapy."

Zheng Qi looked at the ceiling: "However, if one day you want to find someone you haven't seen for a long time to fight in an upright manner, I'm still very happy."

"...Is it only for this reason that I can find you?"

The girl looked up.

Those pale golden eyes stared straight at Zheng Qi's face.

"I didn't even say that."

Zheng Qi turned his face away.

Unconsciously, Viviana laughed.

"I just said goodbye to Margaret when I said goodbye to her. In classical knight novels, knights can always communicate with each other through duels. In Dayan's martial arts novels, this seems to be called... no fight, no fight. Acquaintance? It's just that the reality is not so romantic, just like today, Margaret and I..."

"It's just that, for you [self-proclaimed] who is not good at words, it seems that this is better?"

"It's good to know."

"Then, why don't you celebrate Margaret's victory? As you can see, I don't care anymore."

"Margarina, I'm not missing for now."

Zheng Qi turned around and looked at Viviana seriously.

"But now, you only have one."

What Zheng Qi meant was that there are many people on Margaret's side who can congratulate her, and it's not too late for me to go later, but you are alone now, just like a lost kitten, pitiful, he also I don't care to stay with you for a while.

but……

"...I take back the evaluation just now."

Viviana said softly: "You are actually very good at talking."

"?"

Zheng Qi tilted his head in confusion: "Thank you for the compliment?"

"you are welcome."

"Okay, so what did you want to say to me when you looked at me like that? Is that all?"

"..."

The girl looked at Zheng Qi's face.

"Well, that's all."

Now, that's fine.

more……

Just save it for another time, when I can be alone with you again.

For now, that's enough.

At this moment, Viviana's smile was like a marigold blooming in the night.

Arousing pity, very beautiful.

Chapter 227 Chapter 57: No Escape

As always, Margaret, who left the arena as a winner, was chased and intercepted by the media.

This time, it was even more exaggerated than the last time when Zheng Qi rescued her. After all, this was the first time since Margaret returned to Casimir that she competed with an opponent at the level of a great knight.

Moreover, it also achieved a beautiful victory.

But this time Margaret was obviously more experienced than before.

She didn't stop because of the convoluted media. Margaret knew that even if she ignored it completely, the arena staff had to stop these restless people for her.

This is one of their jobs.

Unless, someone deliberately instructed these staff members to make things difficult for her.

Therefore, facing some dazzling flashing lights, Margaret walked straight through the exhibition hall of the Champion Wall and walked outside without looking at the long guns and short cannons, ignoring the microphones and recording pens. go.

Surprisingly, this time, there were no people who dared to push and crowd, trying to put the microphone in her face.

Walking out of the arena, Margaret turned down those interviews and talks as usual, looking around from time to time while walking, as if she was looking for something.

Unfortunately, she failed to find the figure she wanted to see in the end.

Looking back with some regret, Margaret stopped and glanced in the direction of the arena.

(Perhaps, he sensed Viviana's mood.)

Thinking of this, Margaret couldn't help showing a helpless smile on her face.

In that case, I shouldn't be confused at such a time.

Thinking of this, Margaret turned her head and continued to move forward.

But this time, someone blatantly blocked her.

It's a bunch of competitive knights.

The armor they wore bore the emblems of different knight orders, and most of them wore helmets to hide their faces, only a few showed their faces.

Judging from his demeanor, it is obvious that he is not here by "coincidentally", but is here specially to block her.

"Several, what are you doing?"

Margaret looked at these strangers calmly.

"Bright Knight."

The older knight in the lead stared at Margaret: "Do you know why those infected dare to act openly now?"

This is to say that these days, the infected people will parade in the streets from time to time.

The organization of the parade, to a certain extent, was driven by the infected people gathered on the red pine side.

During the period of preparation, they also need to have some obvious developments to attract the attention of the Federation and the Wuyu League.

In addition, it is also to pave the way for the official action tonight.

But if it is really driven by the red pine side, it is not enough to set off a movement of infected people with such intensity in recent days.

"The gang of infected people caused violence in the city and involved those innocent citizens. Where do you think they have the guts?"

The leading knight stared, and his voice became more and more sonorous: "It's you!"

"You, Blood Knight! And that unknown Zheng Qi! It's you who gave them courage! You infected knights, made them think they have the right to resist!"

"..."

Hearing this, Margaret just looked at these people quietly, there was no fear on her face that these knights hoped to see, nor did she have the anger of being suddenly accused face to face by unknown people.

Yes, just a little compassion.

"I... I know you are not a bad person, champion, I was your fan!"

A knight in a helmet spoke, listening to the voice, he was still very young.

"However, if you continue to participate in the special championship, it will only give other infected people an illusion... One, let them feel that they can change the illusion of the moment..."

-

"It's fine, it's fine..."

Hugging Maria tightly, Zofia finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her daughter was really unharmed.

Old Vladimir, Koval, and old Martin all smiled at the same time.
