Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"It's an honor to have the Candle Knight light my cigarette."

Feng Qingyu handed the cigarette over and let it burn at the Candle Knight's fingertips, with smoke curling up. The two of them sat quietly under the statue, feeling the comfort of being embraced by the evening breeze led by the great knight.

They were out of place among the frenetic crowd around the National Arena.

The Candle Knight gently leaned his head on Feng Qingyu's shoulder and said, "I haven't told you why I'm crying. This matter weighs on my heart and makes me feel a little breathless. Before I tell you, please allow me to relax for a while."

"Relax" is to repeat the international etiquette in the lounge. It can not only release stress, but also dilute the emotions in your heart.

Tonight's winner, Knight Yao Lin Guang, was standing at the exit and happened to witness this scene.

One Hundred and Nine Roads to Redemption

Lin Guang stood there, suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of embarrassment.

This colleague from Rhodes Island said he would give himself a surprise after the game, but he actually kissed his opponent under the statue of the first Grand Knight.

Emmm, what should I say? Respect and blessing? Or may you have a baby girl soon?

It seems that the kiss in the small shop with slow business that night was not a joke, but a serious matter. Miss Candle Knight Viviana must have taken a fancy to Feng Qingyu and wanted to sleep with him.

"It seems a bit redundant for me to be standing here."

She scratched her ear and ran away before being surrounded by fans, leaving time for the two people under the statue. Although she felt a little delicate, she should be happy to think that her friend could be happy because of this.

Lin Guang tried very hard, but it was difficult for him to smile sincerely, and he even felt a little unhappy.

What's this feeling of being left behind?

Knight Yao left in a sullen mood, but Feng Qingyu hadn't noticed and continued to sit and wait under the statue. Knight Zhu had no other plans for the time being, so the two chatted about the episode before the game started.

"At that time, I received a call from my family, saying they wanted to find a marriage partner for me. The other party was a wealthy Colombian female businessman. There were several women in her family, and the eldest daughter was the same age as me... I couldn't accept it."

Being asked by the family to marry a rich old woman can ensure a secure material life in the future. The only drawback is that the marriage partner is too old and there is no atmosphere related to love at all.

Plus, the other party has several wives, a bunch of children and family members, and the intrigues in the big house. You can imagine how tiring it is.

Feng Qingyu has seen palace intrigue dramas before. From the audience's perspective, they can be praised as extremely exciting, but once you are in them, you will inevitably feel physically and mentally exhausted and want to escape as quickly as possible.

The Candle Knight has a gentle personality and is certainly unwilling to do anything to hurt others for his own benefit. He is bound to be at a disadvantage in the house fight and can easily be used as a target.

Anyone would sigh if such a good girl was ruined by a woman who was as old as her grandmother. If it was an old woman as beautiful as Kal'tsit, it would be a different story, but not everyone is as youthful as her.

After listening to the Candle Knight's story, Feng Qingyu felt a lot of sympathy for her, even though she didn't need it.

"Is there any way to avoid it? Like running away from your marriage or something. You have so much savings, you can live a good life wherever you run away to."

"No... I don't think it's possible. The influence of the Droste family in Terra is extraordinary. It's definitely not a problem that can be solved by running away. Besides, where can I escape to?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the Candle Knight's face. Her beautiful face was filled with sadness of being bound by reality and unable to break free. Pitiable was not enough to describe her situation. On top of pity, there was even something pathetic about it.

What are the sufferings of the world?

Comparing their respective situations, Feng Qingyu actually felt that she was quite happy. Her bastard father had not yet dared to force her to do anything, or to marry an old woman she didn't know.

If he dared, she would definitely find a way to mess up the plan and prevent things from going the way those people wanted.

The two wanted to continue chatting, but Candle Knight's assistant suddenly appeared and interrupted the conversation, looking at Feng Qingyu with contempt from time to time.

"Miss, you should go back to the hotel and rest. If the master knew that you were associating with such a mess, he would definitely be angry."

Candle Knight was angry at what his assistant said. The emotions that had been pent up for a long time were like a dormant volcano about to erupt, with such rapid momentum that even Feng Qingyu was frightened by her momentum.

"What do you mean by a messed up person? How ridiculous! I think you are the ones who messed up my life. Don't say these things to me anymore. I am tired of all this. Please, get out of my sight immediately."

Faced with her anger, the assistant's expression was as annoying as before, and there was no respect for the Candle Knight in his eyes, only businesslike calmness.

Obviously, she didn't take this young lady seriously.

The illegitimate daughter born by chance to a lowly maid in a noble family by the master of the house is a disgrace to the family. If her existence is known to others, it will become an excuse for others to attack the Droste family.

Even though she is now a Candle Knight and famous in Casimir, the unspeakable past is still there and can never be erased.

Although the assistant was an assistant, he was actually a monitor and only took orders from the group of nobles, not Viviana Droste.

"Miss, you have no choice. The family's tolerance for you is limited. You lost the game tonight and brought shame to the entire Drost family. You should first think about how to explain to the master."

Every word turned into a sharp blade that stabbed mercilessly into the Candle Knight's heart.

Even Feng Qingyu, an outsider watching from the side, felt his blood pressure soar and his fist hardened. If he stayed any longer, he would probably suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

There was only one thought in my mind - run.

Take the Candle Knight away from this damn place and run to a place that is absolutely safe and out of the reach of the Droste family.

She reached out to the confused Elafia.

"Come on, come with me. Let's get away from here and find a place where no one will bother us."

"I……"

This line sounded like a request to elope, and the Candle Knight didn't know whether to agree. If the sarcastic assistant told the family about this, Feng Qingyu would be in big trouble.

When she was in middle school, the girls who pursued her were severely warned and even threatened by her family. Later, she was even beaten and injured, and her studies were almost ruined.

Because the girl came from an ordinary family and her parents were both company employees, they could not create greater value. This relationship had no value to the family, so it was natural that it was cut off.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Feng Qingyu didn't wait for her to answer, and directly grabbed her and ran away. The assistant didn't catch up, she stood there and sighed, watching them run farther and farther away, merging into the flow of people in Cavalleriachi.

"Forget it, let's just pretend we didn't see anything tonight."

……

On the other side, the two who escaped from the National Arena were walking through the streets of the Great Knight Territory. They climbed to the highest point nearby, where they could overlook most of the Great Knight Territory, and the scenery was great.

The purpose of coming here was not to get a bird's eye view of the night view, Feng Qingyu had a clear purpose. She pointed to the western suburbs of the Great Knight's Territory, where a small land aircraft carrier was anchored, which was Rhodes Island.

In the darkness of night, Rhodes Island only had a vague outline, not very clear, and it could not be seen any further away.

"Look, over there, do you see that land carrier? It's Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company walking on this land."

The Candle Knight tried hard to see, but could only see a very small part.

"so?"

"So, do you want to go with Rhodes Island?"

One hundred and ten, I want them all

Silence dissipated in the night wind.

Feng Qingyu's question received no response, not only because it was abrupt, but also because Candle Knight herself felt confused and had no vision for her future life.

It cannot be said that people who lose confidence in the future are not pathetic. Strictly speaking, everyone's ending is the final route led by their own choices.

When standing at a crossroads, the destination is different if you go in different directions. Once you accept a route you don’t like, the ending will definitely not be what you expected.

Rhodes Island not only provides new options for those infected, but also opens its doors to those who are not infected, making it the perfect place to take shelter from the storm.

It was obvious that the Candle Knight was very hesitant, so Feng Qingyu coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject.

"Sorry, I shouldn't say that. Are you interested in Rhodes Island? There aren't many people at Rhodes Island tonight, so it's okay to go up there and play."

Although it sounds strange, there are indeed not many operators on Rhodes Island right now. Except for some operators who stayed behind, everyone else is enjoying their rare vacation in various places in the territory of Grand Knight Casimir.

If it was just a visit, Candle Knight thought it was feasible and acquiesced.

Rhodes Island was particularly quiet at night, like a steel behemoth crawling on the ground, and it was very suitable as a tourist attraction to slowly explore. To obtain a tour permit, you need to contact Kal'tsit, so Feng Qingyu went there immediately.

Kal'tsit was not surprised by the arrival of the Great Knight, but she was really unhappy because the woman she liked had hooked up with another man.

——As long as you are not practicing shooting on the deck, you are free to do whatever you want.

Practicing shooting on the deck is Kal'tsit's preferred way of relaxing, so she doesn't want others to share this happiness.

If she were playing somewhere else, she wouldn't mind so much.

Feng Qingyu replied to her, "Don't overthink it. I'm not that unsatisfied," and ended the conversation.

The most influential woman in Rhodes Island has agreed to send an electronic version of the visitor permit in the form of a file. All one needs to do is show it to the operator guarding the entrance, just like showing a ticket to a museum, and one can freely visit any place in Rhodes Island that is open to the public.

Taking the train is too easy to attract the attention of other passengers on the train, so the safest way is to take a taxi. Only the taxi driver will see you, which is better than having a large group of people chasing you.

The brilliant knight was already showing signs of fatigue, his expression full of boredom.

"Being a public figure is not a good feeling. I am always under the gaze of the media and the public. I have to be careful about my words and actions. I am worried that one of my actions will bring shame to the family. The pressure accumulates day by day, making me cautious and treading on thin ice."

"I understand how you feel, but put it on first."

A mask with the special championship logo was handed to him from the side. Candle Knight knew the importance of disguise and put it on his face.

Wearing a mask feels both comfortable and uncomfortable. The comfort lies in that no one can see your face directly, and this thin piece of cloth can filter out most people's fanatical or curious gazes.

When stopping a car on the side of the road, Feng Qingyu suddenly remembered one thing - the agreement with Lin Guang.

What happened under the statue of the first great knight was rather sudden. He grabbed the Candle Knight and ran away, but forgot that his appointment with the Shining Knight was also tonight.

When I turned on the phone, there were several floating windows on the lock screen, one of which was a message from Lin Guang.

[Seeing that you and Miss Viviana were in a good mood, I didn't have the heart to disturb you, so I went home first. As for the surprise you mentioned, it's the same if you take me to see it another day. I hope you have fun.]

After reading the message, Feng Qingyu felt a little uneasy.

Why does this Lin Guang look like a loser? Will he suddenly turn evil and kill himself with a 40-meter-long sword?

"It's over... Have I ruined my future Grand Prix championship?"

"what happened?"

The Candle Knight didn't know what was going on, so he turned his head and glanced at the message, and his cheeks became hot. It would be embarrassing for the Glory Knight to see such a thing, as he might think she was a woman who behaved promiscuously in private.

There are two media outlets that have been digging deep into Casimir's privacy, often writing fabricated and groundless reports, describing her private life in a grand manner, but all of them are things that have never happened.

Red wine baths, hundreds of handsome male servants, all based on vulgar fantasies.

"I hope Knight Yao doesn't misunderstand..."

"I also hope that."

Feng Qingyu’s head was about to split open.

On one side is the Candle Knight who needs company and comfort, and on the other side is the Yao Knight who seems to be throwing a tantrum. It is really difficult to make a decision between these two famous knights.

She didn't want to let go of either side, she hoped to see Lin Guang and Zhu Knight smile at the same time because of her.

It's a very arrogant and greedy idea, and its success rate remains to be seen.

"What should I do..."

She stared at the neon lights of the city across the street in a daze. Of course, those blinding neon lights would not give her an answer, and the only one who could make the choice was herself.

If I hesitate any longer, I will become He Shuhuan, so why can't I have them all?

"They're all so good, how can I choose just one?"

Before his eyes were blinded by the neon lights, Feng Qingyu finally thought of a suitable plan.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Guang changed into casual clothes and walked into the street in the evening breeze.

She deliberately chose a road with fewer people, trying to avoid the Chamber of Commerce, the No-Head Alliance, and the nameless, messy media.

The meeting place was a restaurant called "Xun Zhou", which I had been to last night.

In fact, she didn't really want to go, but she went out reluctantly because of the requests of her colleagues from Rhodes Island and the young lady of the Knights whom she just met on the field.

"Those two...are they going to announce their marriage?"

Lin Guang smiled bitterly.

Others were the eldest daughters of wealthy families, but she was a member of a declining knight aristocrat, perhaps not even a noble. She didn't even have a decent bed at home, and she had to sell the mattress for money.

Marriage requires a good match between the two families, so she would not be surprised when the two of them got married.

Turning the corner, "Xunri" came into view. There was only one light on in the store, the light was dim, and there was a sign saying "Closed" on the door.

Lin Guang pushed open the glass door and found that the store manager was not there, but the two protagonists who were inseparable under the big knight statue were there. The rectangular dining table was about 80% new, and the dishes on the table were all freshly made and steaming hot.

Feng Qingyu came out of the kitchen and served the last dish - a delicious soup with Yan country style.

The dishes on the table included flavors from several countries and were all well presented. The food in the Rhode Island cafeteria was not even half as good as them.
