Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

They openly assassinated the war knights. Is their conflict as serious as this?

Or is there someone among them who is causing trouble?

PS: Texas and I were traveling and got lost in the wilderness and she told me she needed to use the bathroom and I told her we were running low on drinking water.

PS2: For the next half hour, she couldn't help but blush whenever she saw me.

92.Sisters meet

As the capital of Casimir, the Great Knights' disaster relief speed was quite fast.

When Zhou Cheng left the scene of the crime with the two little Pegasus, the place had been sealed off, and reinforcements were coming in a steady stream.

Some fighting knights came later, but they seemed to be unable to deal with the people who blocked the place, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Zhou Cheng had no intention of caring about the development of things between them. He walked away like an ordinary passerby and said:

"Would you like to eat lunch somewhere else?"

"No way... I really don't have much appetite." Maria twitched the corner of her mouth in a somewhat far-fetched way.

Recalling the smell of barbecue in the air after the flames died down, she felt sick to her stomach.

At least she couldn't eat anything today, so drinking some hot water would be enough.

Xintrea didn't say anything. Maria was not in the mood to stick to her now, so she approached Zhou Cheng and quietly pinched the hem of his clothes with her fingers.

Just being an acquaintance didn't affect her appetite, but she ate a lot in the morning and wasn't hungry yet.

"Then let's get down to business."

"... business?"

The natural words made Maria look puzzled. Zhou Cheng smiled mysteriously and said:

"Isn't the armor ready? I hope you can help me send it out personally. This will only be interesting if you do it."

"Huh? Send it out with your own hands? Why?"

After subconsciously asking this question, Maria seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the smiling black-haired young man with suspicious eyes, an awkward smile appeared on her stiff face, and she said calmly:

"Um...Brother Cheng, is my sister in the Grand Knights' Command now?"

She remembered that when she got the design of the armor, she said she wanted to build it for his employees.

And her sister, Margaret, the shining knight who was expelled from Casimir, was his employee.

In fact, although the news about the return of the Shining Knight is not allowed to spread, you can know it by watching the news, or chatting in private. However, neither Maria nor Zofia watch the news very much, and there are few people who can talk about the news in private. .

As for the old people in Koval, these former knights and military craftsmen do not like the current news media in Casimir, which makes people very angry.

Maria actually planned to inquire about her sister while eating or drinking tea today. She had never thought that her sister would come back at this time. After all, she was deported through the National Assembly.

But now I see his malicious expression...

The reunion of the sisters a few years later started with the sister giving her a set of astringent armor. It’s very strange no matter how you think about it!

Maria, who has always been lively and outgoing, was embarrassed to say this out loud, so she learned to complain in her heart like Xintrea did without a teacher.

Zhou Cheng shrugged his shoulders frivolously, but without hiding anything, he praised:

"Very sharp, Maria."

"No, keenness and all that... I said so, would it be strange if you haven't noticed it yet?"

It seemed that Maria had temporarily forgotten the 'disaster' just now, and instead hesitated with criticism because the style of the armor was too ambiguous.

Just like you can talk about dirty jokes with your friends at will, you can be called the God of Slaanesh from lining up to drinking sex, but you will always look extremely serious in front of your family.

Maybe it was just a joke, but for the young Maria, such an ambiguous joke was a bit too difficult to say.

If only it was a joke.

Unfortunately, when she followed Zhou Cheng back to her home and saw two sci-fi powered armors opening the door, Maria knew that she had to face reality.

In fact, she doesn't have to do that, but she doesn't really want to refuse... she always thinks it's interesting to do so.

Some hesitations, some cautions, and some expectations made Maria return here half-heartedly.

However, such emotions disappeared the moment she saw the two powered armors. She was like a madman in a book, looking confused and wanting to reach out and touch them, but then she noticed the thick guns on the hands of these powered armors. Then he woke up.

After swallowing her saliva, Maria looked at Zhou Cheng with shining eyes. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Just by looking at her expression, you can tell what she wants to say.

'Give me one too' - that's pretty much what it means.

"I'll give you one later."

"Great!"

Maria, who was holding the armor she made, cheered, just like when Zhou Cheng promised to teach her some forging skills in the workshop.

But when he really saw his sister, the cheers turned into cautious and subtle silence.

In the unkempt garden of the mansion, the knight with gorgeous blond hair sat quietly in the pavilion, the silver luster flowing on her armor, and the mechanical long sword holding the hilt in one hand stood beside her iron boots.

Margaret's expression was peaceful and solemn, as if she was wearing a military uniform and was going to fight next, using the long sword in her hand to cut through thorns and thorns.

Maria couldn't help but hold her breath. Her sister, whom she had not seen for a long time, who was once quiet and somewhat introverted, appeared in front of her with the appearance of a resolute warrior.

And, it seems that he is going to do something very important.

Although they were reunited in the garden at home, she didn't know what to say at all.

When she noticed someone approaching, Margaret, who was closing her eyes to relax, slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the smiling boss and her sister standing in front of him, she was slightly startled, and then said calmly:

"Long time no see, Maria."

There was joy in the knight's eyes, but it was temporarily slowed down in front of more important things.

Maria understood the emotion and was relieved that her sister was still her sister, but then couldn't help but worry about what she was going to do.

"Long time no see, sister, you are much taller than I thought."

In fact, it was only about ten centimeters longer, but what Maria felt intuitively was that the air in the entire garden seemed to be stagnant for her when her sister was sitting in front of her, and even the sunlight changed under her heavy momentum. Gotta stick.

Just like...the grandfather whose memory has long been blurred.

He is also wearing silver armor, similar to him but not as ostentatious as the Lion King. Just sitting there quietly makes him taller than anyone standing up.

But this intimidating image does not stand in the way of Maria.

"elder sister……"

"Ok?"

"Can I give you a hug?"

"of course."

The knight answered with a gentle and steady voice, stood up and slowly opened his hands, while Maria quickly stepped forward and threw herself into her arms.

The sisters hugged each other, and Maria buried her face in Margaret's tall and straight chest with a happy face, as if she could feel the tenderness underneath through the hard armor - in fact, she was listening to her sister's heartbeat. However, in Zhou Cheng's eyes, he prefers some more subtle aspects.

93. Margaret’s invitation

Zhou Cheng asked Xintrea, who was holding Maria's armor next to him:

"What do you think?"

She looked down, saw the boots on her feet, and let out a 'tsk' with a slumped face.

Obviously, her focus is no different from Zhou Cheng's.

After a hug, Maria took the initiative to let go of Margaret, held her hand and said with a sweet smile:

"Sister, I have a gift for you."

"Well, what is it?"

"Here, wait a moment..."

Under Margaret's expectant gaze, Maria took the armor from Hinteraia and brought it to her.

Holding it up with both hands, after seeing the structure of the armor clearly in the sunlight, Margaret's expression froze slightly, and then she looked at Zhou Cheng strangely.

'I already have a set of light armor like this, right? '——Her eyes asked this meaning.

This set of light armor was originally given to her by Zhou Cheng and the Lion King. She usually wears it under the Lion King as inner armor, and transfers some Originium skill 'circuit', so that the Lion King can perform better.

There was no need to have a spare set, the armor was rarely used, and she had not charged into battle for a long time.

Zhou Cheng chuckled and said:

"Maria made this for you herself."

"personally…?"

Margaret took a closer look at this somewhat shameful set of armor, then looked at her good sister, and saw her smiling slightly sheepishly.

"…Thank you, Maria."

After a moment of silence, Margaret chose to accept this gift, which was similar to underwear. She was considerate and did not go into detail about Maria. She just made a note of the boss in her mind.

How could the well-behaved Maria take the initiative to do such a thing?He must have been led astray!

Thinking about this, Margaret looked at him with a hint of anger, only to see him change the subject and say:

"Is Margaret waiting for me here?"

There was a little helplessness on the knight's upright face. After a slight hesitation, he still did not hesitate and nodded slightly:

"...Yes, I would like to invite you to come with me to watch a knightly competition."

Seeing that her sister seemed to want to talk about business, Maria wisely stepped aside and stood with Xintrea.Xintera suddenly paused slightly, looked up at Zhou Cheng, and then took Maria out of the garden.

The only two people left in the unkempt and messy garden were the young man in leather clothes and the knight in silver armor. The young man held his chin, looked at the knight's upright and delicate face, and asked a little strangely:

"Knight competition? Why do you suddenly want to watch this?"

"Some nostalgia, some thoughts."

Margaret leaned on her long sword and replied with these memories in her face:

"I have been away from the arena for a long time, the last time was when I was 16 years old. Now I am ready, but before I officially go out, I want to take a look at the memories of the past.

"And it would be great if you could come with me."

Knight Yao's expression was very magnanimous. She had never bothered to hide her thoughts. She was straightforward and whatever she thought should be.

After two days of hesitation, when she was about to formally face Casimir, she was also thinking about the matter between herself and her boss.

This is not a deal, but this matter is stronger than a deal. As long as it is not a matter of principle, she will never go back on it.

Knowing the favor is also a virtue of a knight. It can be said that the knight who is closest to the perfect image of a knight in today's era will never be stingy in repaying what he owes.

even the body.

However, while repaying, she also hoped that this matter would be emotional, so she made an invitation to deepen the relationship.

Zhou Cheng knew this well and responded with a smile:

"Of course, you know, I never refuse people."

A pure person like Margaret has no secrets in Zhou Cheng's eyes.

Logically speaking, one should lose interest if one knows too much, but Margaret is different.

She was so upright and so bright that even though Zhou Cheng knew what she would think and do, he found it strange and made people want to try to provoke her a little bit.

"But do you still use 'you'? My handsome Pegasus girl."

"It's just a habit of using words. I can change it if you mind." Margaret said seriously.

For her, things like 'marriage' and 'love' are also battlefields that need to be treated with caution. Once the opportunity is missed or the wrong choice is made, the consequences will be very serious.

At least it affects the relationship between husband and wife, but at worst it may lead to the breakdown of marriage and family misfortune.

Well, he is always serious, which is also the cute thing about Yoshiknight.

In fact, 'you' or 'you' Margaret are both used, it depends on what time you want to use it.

The former has been used more and more recently, while the latter is mostly used in formal occasions or when the knight is a little embarrassed.

Still very unique and interesting.

"No, it's not necessary. You can come however you want." Zhou Cheng refused casually.
