hero?it must be me

He didn't like Riddlers, so since he was asked, he just told him the truth.

"You want to know my definition of a knight? Then you are asking the wrong person. I don't understand this, and I am not a knight."

"In my opinion, even if the current Casimir is thoroughly rotten, it does not mean that the past Casimir was spotless."

"You don't always think that the reason why Casimir is so embarrassing today is just because of the decline of the so-called chivalry and the rise of the concept of business money?"

Zheng Qi grinned.

That was the look he would show when he was about to break, break, smash something.

"Casimir now, the merchants and the knights seem to be fighting, but they are actually fighting each other. Everyone knows it."

"I don't know what your definition of chivalry is."

"But if you ask me who is not a knight, I can only tell you, don't use this thing to label anyone."

"That's because you don't have a firm enough understanding of virtue and justice, and you need something to help you give meaning to actions and thoughts that you don't even understand."

"To put it simply, when you need to fight for the right to define this thing, it means you are questioning yourself."

"I don't understand knights, and I don't understand chivalry, because I haven't thought about it."

"But if you ask me, I came here, have I seen a knight, I will tell you, yes."

"Margaret."

Zheng Qi looked at Margaret: "You just asked me why you want to participate in the duel, right?"

"The answer is simple."

Bang.

Zheng Qi's fists collided in front of his chest.

"I can't stand it, so I did it directly,"

Chapter 211 Chapter 41: It's Not Your Turn

Zheng Qi's words, in this country, can undoubtedly be called "rebellious and outrageous".

However, the two who listened to his words didn't seem to think so.

At first glance, Zheng Qi's words seemed to sneer at the existence of the knights, as if they were mocking the two great knights who were well known to everyone in Casimir.

However, neither Margaret nor Drost seemed to be annoyed by this.

No.

Rather the opposite.

The attitudes of the two seemed to be silently agreeing with Zheng Qi's words.

Margaret lowered her eyes slightly, with a hint of sadness in her expression, but not confused.

Drost opened his eyes wide.

From the moment they met, her eyes on people were just like her conversation, gentle and polite, even when she was looking at Margaret, the curiosity hidden in her eyes was just right, not annoying, It even makes the person being watched have a tender feeling that they can't bear to ignore her.

However, at this moment, she looked at Zheng Qi differently.

If you want to compare it, it's like brother Jing waiting for a little beggar by the river, but the little beggar didn't wait, but Rong'er came.

There is surprise, appreciation, and joy.

That kind of expression made Droste show the most real appearance so far in front of Margaret and Zheng Qi.

"I see."

She opened her mouth softly.

There was a smile in that voice.

"You are not a knight..."

Droste's gaze shifted from Zheng Qi to Margaret: "And you as a true knight."

"Really, an exciting combination."

"I thought it would be a blessing to meet His Excellency the Knight Yao today with my own eyes. I never thought that there would be an unexpected surprise."

"May I ask you another question, Mr. Zheng Qi."

"Go ahead."

"You said you couldn't understand it, but you chose to devote yourself to Casimir's rules. Why?"

"You're joking."

"I?"

Zheng Qi's answer made Droste a little confused.

Am I joking?

when?

"I never threw myself into Casimir's rules."

Zheng Qi turned his hands in front of his chest, pointed his thumbs inwards, and pointed at himself.

"From the very beginning, you were the ones who stepped into my place."

"It's you who devote themselves to the rules."

"..."

These words left Droste speechless for a moment.

Just as the alley fell into silence again, a sound of slightly heavy footsteps came from one end of the alley.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared there.

"Miss Drost... and Miss Margaret and Mr. Zheng Qi, good evening, three of you."

"Good evening, Mr. McKee."

Droste turned sideways, and the moment she turned her eyes, the realness on her face faded away, replaced by the original mistyness.

This made her change from Droste back to the [romantic] Candle Knight.

"It seems that the commotion just now, please take care of yourself."

"...Oh, so you have this self-awareness."

McKee sighed.

Even as one of the speakers, it was not easy for him to deal with the commotion that just happened at the Champions Wall exhibition hall.

Because among the media there at that time, several of them had a pivotal position in Casimir.

Simply put, there are people behind.

The Chamber of Commerce is not monolithic.

"Big knights like the two, every move will become the focus of public attention. Mr. Zheng Qi, you have been in the limelight recently, in front of the media like this..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, there will always be a way to deal with it. Compared with this, Miss Drost."

McGee looked at Candle Knight: "You still have to prepare for the meeting with the nobles of Letania tomorrow."

"If possible, it's better not to create too many uncertainties during this period."

"For example, meeting two infected knights—ah, should I say, meeting an infected knight and a nice gentleman?"

"...that nobleman from Letania came here entirely for you."

After a moment of silence, McGee said: "Your popularity in Letania is also extraordinary."

"Myshko Industry is happy to help the other party's construction plan in Letania, but it is you, Miss Drost, who can finally implement the signing of the trade contract."

Hearing this, the smile on Candle Knight's face dimmed slightly.

It is very inconspicuous, even if you stare closely, it may be difficult to detect it.

But both Margaret and Zheng Qi noticed this.

"Of course...my duty lies."

She looked at Zheng Qi and Margaret: "Unfortunately, both of you, it seems that today can only end here."

"It's okay, actually... I'm surprised that there are knights like you in Kazimir today."

Margaret replied.

Zheng Qi didn't intend to say anything more.

But for some reason, Droste's eyes fixed on him.

It was as if he was seeking his thoughts on the meeting.

"...If you ask these questions again next time we meet, I won't give a verbal answer."

Zheng Qi put his hands in his pockets, looking down at the flower-like girl.

Hearing this, Droste smiled.

"I see."

"Your Excellency Yao Knight, the next time we meet, we will be on the field."

"I'm waiting for that day."

Margaret replied solemnly.

"Then, before leaving, I would like to give you a piece of advice."

Candle Knight turned away.

"The wind and rain are about to come... In the starry sky during this period of time, the sparks will be extraordinarily bright."

-

"People are walking away, Margaret."

Zheng Qi said.

"Sorry, Zheng Qi, it seems that I delayed the schedule again."

Withdrawing her gaze from Droste who was going away, Margaret raised her face and showed an embarrassed smile at Zheng Qi.

"Do not."

Zheng Qi let out a breath: "To see you smiling like this, I think it's a good thing for her to come."

Margaret was taken aback.

"Your demeanor just now, rather than going to an appointment with me, might as well say that you are going to play the next competition."

Zheng Qi turned his head to look at her: "There's no need to push yourself so hard, not everyone needs you to protect them with all your life, and to help open up your future."

"At least it's not your turn to worry like this, understand?"

"……Feel sorry."

"Apologize again and I'll do it."

"That--"

Margaret smiled again.

"Thank you, Zheng Qi."

In this regard, Zheng Qi just chuckled.

"Do you care about Drost?"

"She's really different."

"But the guy named McGee next to her is likely to be the same as those businessmen, even though it seems to be struggling now."

Zheng Qi turned around: "Do you want to compete with her?"

"As it should be."

"Row."
