hero?it must be me

The referee was not ignorant, he went about his routine with brisk speech, then turned and left.

Finally, there were only two knights standing opposite each other in the arena.

Candle Knight slowly raised his hand.

Light and heat, as if responding to her call, quietly intertwined in her hands.

"...Yao Knight, I didn't have time to ask this question that day."

Or maybe it was because I was subconsciously unwilling to ask in front of that man.

Candle Knight stared at Yao Knight: "Are you proud of your identity?"

"of course."

Yao Knight replied without thinking.

"As a knight? Or as an infected person?"

"Access as Margaret."

"Hmm...a common answer."

Candle Knight smiled: "Tell me, if Mr. Zheng Qi, how would you answer my question?"

Chapter 224 Chapter 54: He and I already have an appointment

Margaret was taken aback by the question.

Then she thought seriously for a few seconds.

"……I have no idea."

Margaret said frankly: "I can't answer, sorry."

"I thought you were old friends with him."

Drost was a little surprised.

"In terms of time, Zheng Qi and I have known each other for less than ten days."

The corner of Margaret's mouth finally revealed a smile: "However, when I first met him, I felt that I could become a very good friend with him."

"I'm glad I didn't miss him."

Seeing Margaret's smile, Droste was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes slightly: "I think, I am a little envious of you."

Margaret was a little confused when she heard this.

"...Do you know that I am actually the illegitimate daughter of a certain nobleman in Letania?"

"Well……"

Margaret didn't know how to react for a while.

Before the competition, she heard some rumors about Candle Knight from her aunt Zofia.

Candle Knight Droste, people think that she is an unpredictable person.

As Kasimir's current popular knight, the flow of water born every year because of her is said to be enough to build a reliable military fortress on the plain.

For the supernova, many initially referred to her as Black Knight II.

From Letania, with amazing talent and accomplishments in magic arts, with aristocratic and elegant manners, and against the backdrop of his good looks, the blockbuster outstanding record makes people have to look sideways.

On top of this, what makes the public most curious is her mysterious origin.

Just like Zheng Qi and the Nightmare Knight, Candle Knight's background is a mystery, which adds another layer of mystery to her. Up to now, the media are still keen to dig into her private life as a topic .

It can be said that as if overnight, Candle Knight has become one of Kasimir's well-known great knights from an unknown person at the beginning.

and so……

Candle Knight is actually the illegitimate daughter of a certain nobleman in Letania—once this kind of thing spreads, the result can be imagined.

Margaret was a little at a loss when her opponent suddenly said such... private things to her.

She didn't know what kind of expression she should make to respond at this moment.

Fortunately, Candle Knight didn't seem to care about her reaction.

"In that tower, I can't hear the people."

"Even if it is close to the downtown area, I can't hear the hawkers' cries, or the traffic passing by. There, I can only hear my own breathing and heartbeat."

"When night comes... darkness comes to me, from every direction."

She closed her eyes, as if the darkness had found her again.

"...but Mother will secretly bring me some candles."

"Candles...?"

Margaret also closed her eyes.

She seemed to be able to imagine that the young girl, on the top of the tower so high that no one would take a second look, guarded the candlelight from the few candles brought by her mother in the dark.

That was the girl's only light in the dark.

"Electric lamps and oil lamps are not suitable, and they are easy to be found, but as for candles, there are always many decorative candles in the homes of nobles, even if they are not used, there are still some."

Candle Knight smiled and said: "So even if there are a few missing, no one cares about it, right?"

"By candlelight, I read."

"Poems, novels, prose... From Letania to Dayan, from Ursus to Casimir, I am immersed in words full of magic."

"...During those days, I read a lot of books."

She opened her eyes and looked at Margaret who also opened her eyes: "Among them, there are also books about knights."

"A chivalric novel?"

Candle Knight nodded: "Some fictional legends are just to stimulate people's sensory imagination, right?"

Her expression gradually became serious.

"Yao Knight, you have become a knight so far, what exactly is it for?"

"The so-called knights, what should they exist for?"

"When I came to this land, I came here as an outcast. In order to survive, I chose to become a knight-at that time, it was such a simple reason that drove me."

"However, when I realized that here I just need to win games and gain popularity and I can become [a knight], I'm honestly disappointed."

"For so many years, I don't have much real feeling. The days in Casimir don't seem to be as fulfilling as the time hiding in the tower."

"... This kind of time, until I really saw you, that Mr. Zheng Qi."

"You are different."

You... are like a poem.

【Wait until the tide recedes, wait until the honor and life die together, wait until the fireworks in the stove fade away, wait until the ups and downs turn, wait until the natural disasters come, wait until relatives and friends forget him... The last knight on this land, alone, Charge against the night-black waves. 】

[Win the autumn wind and get drunk, sigh that I am upright.Why do you need to repair swords and monsters?Tea is made into wine at festivals, and blood is burning with singing songs.Don't use the right strategy in your chest and hide in the market.Once the eyebrows were furious, every step shook all directions.Who will comment on the freedom of public opinion?Let your body torrentially let the turbid flow! 】

Knights, and knights.

It turns out that it really exists.

On this land, there will really be people who walk out of words...

No.

Or, those words have never been pure fantasy?

"I'm curious."

Candle Knight stared straight at Yao Knight.

"If you and Mr. Zheng Qi really disdain the current knight system so much, why do you two want to participate? It's just to win this championship, what can you two prove?"

"...Zheng Qi's thoughts, I can't answer on his behalf, but for me, at that time, I did think so."

Margaret replied calmly: "If everyone turns their eyes away from the glory, then I will go to the place where they are most concerned and tell everyone that the knight is still there."

"then?"

"After leaving Casimir, I have been to many places."

Margaret paused, as if she was remembering, but also seemed to be considering her words.

"It's not that I've never been confused, but in the end, I chose my own justice."

"I choose, my own belief."

"To save the infected?"

"Yes, but more than that."

"Is that your definition of a knight?"

"Do you still remember what Zheng Qi told you?"

"..."

Viviana was silent.

"Once upon a time, my sister asked me a similar question, and I can tell you the answer now, because I still think so to this day."

"The so-called knight is the noble one who illuminates the entire earth."

"However, this is just the knight in my heart."

"What about you? Your Excellency Viviana Droste."

"...I discovered for the first time that I am also a bit greedy."

Vivienne Droste raised the candlestick in her hand.

That is her sword.

"When I actually get a response from you, I can't help but want more."

There was a smile on her face again.

That smile was more sincere than any time she faced Margaret in the past.

"By defeating you, I can ask Mr. Zheng Qi for the answer I want in Mr. Zheng Qi's place."

"It's just that before that... I want to use the sword first to ask you for the truth, Miss Margaret."

"I wish I could, but—"

Margaret raised the corners of her mouth and gently swung the sword and gun in her hand.

"Zheng Qi and I already have an appointment."

Chapter 225 Chapter 55: That's great, Margaret

The scene of the two confronting each other seems a bit out of place in this arena.

The two knights confront each other and cross each other. They come and go, and they never seem to be in a hurry to decide the winner.

Rather than saying it was a fight, it was more like an elegant social interaction between nobles.

A dance that touches each other's body and mind.

However, only Margaret and Viviana understood what they were facing at this moment.

Unlike the black knight who once left a glorious history in this arena, Candle Knight is a typical [Letania Knight].

As early as when they met for the first time, Margaret had noticed the pure aura in her body that can only be possessed by top spellcasters.

She may not be a fighter born for martial arts like the black knight, but she is definitely an excellent magician.

Young and strong.

Margaret knew then...

Candle Knight Viviana Droste is by no means a show.

She's an opponent who deserves to be taken seriously on her own.
