Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

Noah remained silent, and this silence was gradually regarded as a tacit agreement and speechless response. People who were originally concerned about Noah's identity were now even more angry.

"You bastard! You are a disgrace to the Kirilet family!"

"Knight Yao trusts you so much, why do you do this!"

"I originally thought it was the Radiant Knight who tricked us! Turns out it was you who tricked us!"

The anger of the infected and the anger of ordinary people actually stem from different reasons. The infected are angry that they almost vented their anger on the Glory Knight who truly cared about them, so this anger naturally turns against Noah. Ordinary people, on the other hand, are angry that Noah's false accusation nearly tarnished the perfect Glory Knight's identity as an infected person. As those who speak out for the Glory Knight, they naturally occupy the moral high ground.

Although some people still wondered if it was a scam, the investigation results released almost simultaneously by the Knights Association and the Chamber of Commerce forced this group of people to believe it.

After all, even the Chamber of Commerce and the Knights Association are working together to frame him?

is this necessary?

"Silence!" Seeing the situation about to get out of control, Rhyme had to speak up. He turned around and stared at the group of people who suddenly accused Noah. "What do you want to do in a place like this?"

"She doesn't deserve to be here!" The angry people had begun to lose control, like wildfire. Noah knew very well that the anger would not disappear out of thin air. Now that Margaret, who was originally targeted, was proven innocent, then this anger would naturally turn to an object that was easier to vent.

And this object is yourself.

"Noa Kyrielight has been removed from her position as spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce! No one should be protecting her now! Aren't you knights? Arrest her! Put her on trial!"

"Right! Aren't you knights upholding justice? Why are you protecting this guy?!"

"Trial! She should be hanged!"

"...The details of the matter are not clear yet. We will arrest Noah Kyrielight only after the investigation is complete." Lime frowned. This level of anger seemed a little strange to him. He naturally did not believe that Noah would frame Margaret, but she did not defend herself. Her attitude was so calm that the Silver Spear Pegasus present were all a little suspicious.

Emotions are like viruses, they are contagious. Amid public anger, few people can remain rational.

"This is a sacred place. No one can cause trouble here." Lime leaned his heavy gun on the ground and roared at the crowd, "Miss Noah Kyrielight, you should leave now to avoid chaos. I will arrange two soldiers to escort you—"

"Wait..." Noah listened for a long time and finally raised his head. "Can you give me a moment, Uncle Lime?"

"...Yeah." Faced with Noah's request, Lime was worried, but she agreed. Then, with Kuro's help, she turned around and faced the group of people who were angry at her.

"What you know is the truth. Indeed, I have tarnished the honor of the Knights of Glory and done unforgivable things. I can admit all of this."

"……you!"

"But it's not your turn to judge." Noah's expression turned cold. "I am the head of the Kirilet family and the only Kirilet left. Therefore—I am a Kirilet. Shame? Why?"

The words were cold, more like fanning the flames than admitting guilt.

She was now shaky, as if she would faint at any moment. She had never been one to accept malice. She just made herself hold on, hold on, and hold on until the chains of malice were firmly locked. She didn't know how long she could lock up this anger and hatred, but at least she had to make Margaret feel a little more at ease, even a little bit.

Herhunzollon had told him that this spell could only be used tonight, and that his own abilities weren't enough to influence so many people. But when emotions became a trend, he would have the opportunity to manipulate the will of Casimir.

It is difficult for people to become noble. It is unreasonable and takes time.

But it is easy for people to find the moral high ground to blame others. Now, what Noah has to do is to make these people put themselves in a position that appears noble, even if it is to blame themselves.

When the chains of hatred and malice were firmly attached to the name Noah, the Radiant Knights would no longer be hated by this group of people, because they had a more apt target for their anger.

Noah Kyrielight, the sinner of Casimir.

Even though it has not been judged yet, this cognition has already been solidified in people's subconscious.

Even Noah himself found it terrifying. As long as people's emotions were manipulated, they could be manipulated in this way. And these people were willing to believe the "results" they imagined. It seemed that no one cared about the truth; they only believed what they wanted to believe.

Noah gave a weak smile before he could no longer hold on.

"You have no right to judge me."

"Casimir has no right to judge me."

These two sentences completely nailed the nail of hatred into her body. She began to feel relaxed now. She no longer needed to control her emotions, her emotions would control her on their own.

Amidst their anger, people finally realized what the Radiant Knight was going to do—

At least they knew what they were despising.

Noah finally took her hand off the music box. There was no need for her to maintain the spell anymore.

Hatred, dissatisfaction, hostility, anger, even without using magic... I can feel the hostility of countless people.

"...Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Lime." Noah turned around and accepted Lime's protection. Although under the threat of Silver Spear Pegasus, this group of people would not attack him, but there would definitely be many people who wanted him to die this night.

Perhaps Lime took this into consideration and let Noah leave with the two soldiers.

However, before Noah was ready to be taken away by the two soldiers, a figure walked out of the Champion Wall exhibition hall. His mere appearance made the two Silver Spear Pegasus who were originally planning to handcuff Noah and take him away tremble all over. They subconsciously took two steps back. There were very few people in this city who could make the Silver Spear Pegasus tremble, but there was obviously excitement in their trembling.

After all… this is one of the living legends.

"Mr. Maenna..."

"Noya, I'll take her away. Handcuffs... no need." Mainna glanced coldly at the two Silver Spear Pegasus who were originally trying to handcuff Noya. "A disabled child, do you have to use handcuffs to take her away with confidence? Silver Spear Pegasus, humph."

"...This is the rule." The Silver Spear Pegasus soldier who was being questioned retorted in a low voice, but he also knew that he was also dissatisfied with Noah. If Lime had not intended to protect Noah, he would also want to ask Noah Kyrielight why he betrayed the knight class.

Many of the Silver Spear Pegasus saw her current situation as her own fault. This was the fate of someone who had betrayed the knights who could have protected her.

"Uncle Manna?" Noya was surprised that he would show up here. Logically, Uncle Manna should hate places like this. She thought Manna should be at home watching the live broadcast on TV.

I didn't expect him to actually walk out of the Champions Wall exhibition hall...

"You've gone too far," Maenna whispered. "I'll take you away."

"...Yeah." Compared to being handcuffed and taken away by Silver Spear Pegasus, having Uncle Manna escort them was clearly a better option. Lime didn't say anything, just nodded to Manna. Then he let Silver Spear Pegasus clear the way.

Although she should be safe under the protection of Mainna and Kuro, Noya could feel it without any hindrance... Casimir's hostility towards her became so intense and frightening overnight.

Noah, Maenna, and Kuro left the Wall of Champions exhibition hall. Noah, who had never been surrounded like this before, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled wryly, her face pale, and shook her head. "...Thank you, Uncle Maenna."

"...What are you going to do next?" Mainna didn't respond, but simply asked, "Casimir, there's no place for you anymore."

"I... was originally planning to go to Kjerag to recuperate for a while." Noah smiled, "And I have a friend there who wanted my help, so..."

"So... you won't be coming back?" Maena nodded. "Leaving tonight? Or waiting for Margaret?"

"...I." Noya was about to nod, but quickly shook her head. "No, I'm leaving tonight. No fugitive would wait until the day they're tried."

"She'll be very sad," Mainna said seriously. "Besides, you haven't got your sword back yet."

"Just consider it a loan to her temporarily. She'll have a hard time later." Noah had no intention of taking his sword back. After all, it was with Margaret, and he felt more at ease. "That is, if I escape, will it be difficult for you, Uncle Maenna?"

"I'm no longer the head of the Linguang family. I'm just a ranger now." Mainna's words even had a touch of lightness. "But I can't go to Kjerag with you. I have things to do."

"Yeah, I understand." Noah nodded. She was about to leave the city, and for some reason, she felt a sense of reluctance. This reluctance seemed to linger in her soul, making her want to cry.

She whispered the story she had read -

"Let everyone stand up and let all this be quiet."

"If you think the waves are noisy, go and calm the sea."

"Civilization thrives, cities roar forward, and the only ones who can destroy them are themselves."

"Don't leave it to time, they can even defeat time. Seize it, entrust it to yourself."

“I entrust it to everyone.”

Of course Margaret would choose to stay in Casimir. This was her responsibility, and she would take on everything...

As a fugitive and a villain hated by Casimir, I naturally have to go as far away as possible.

-

It's almost dawn.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Margaret walked out of the exhibition hall, most of the crowd had dispersed. The only ones left were a group of fans who wanted to witness the Knight of Glory and the Silver Spear Pegasus who stayed at their posts.

Lime was waiting there. After seeing Margaret come out, he said, "Noah and Lord Mainna left together. They are safe."

"...Uncle Lime, Noah...didn't she leave any words?" Margaret had already guessed something after not seeing Noah outside. "I haven't returned the sword to her yet."

"No." Lime shook his head. "Perhaps you can go back and ask Lord Mahenna."

"Thank you." Margaret took a deep breath and didn't have time to care about the reporters and fans who were still waiting for her. Even though she was dragging her tired body, she left here as fast as she could.

It was as if she was chasing someone...

"elder sister!"

"Margaret!"

When Zofia and Maria saw Margaret coming back, they immediately told her everything that had happened in front of the Wall of Champions exhibition hall. After seeing Noah being taken away by Maina, they originally thought that they would return home, but they waited and waited but no one showed up. Instead, they waited for Margaret.

Margaret, who had learned everything, was silent for a while, then shook her head, "They won't come."

"...What does this mean?" Zofia seemed to know something, but still confirmed. "They..."

"They should have left the Great Knight Territory. As for where they went... I don't know either."

"How is it possible... doesn't that mean..." Maria seemed to have thought of something, "Sister Noah has already prepared for this?"

Margaret didn't explain much. She just went upstairs and stopped in front of Noah's room. After she was mentally prepared, she opened the door.

It was a very simple room, looking emptier than when I had been there before, with many things gone. But there was one thing missing—a letter on the table.

That was a letter to myself.

She took away everything she wanted to take away, and she had prepared it early on.

But I also let go of everything I wanted to let go of.

She came to the desk and picked up the envelope from the table. The envelope was heavy, and there must be something else besides the letter.

But she was not in the mood to read it now. She just sat on Noah's bed, holding the letter, and waited until dawn outside the window.

A ray of sunshine fell on the earth.

Chapter 208: Epilogue

——To Margaret.

By the time you see this letter, I should have already left without saying goodbye. As for the reason, I don't need to explain it in detail.

I have always felt that you should have more or less noticed my plan and my intention. I also feel that you will understand me because you have always been the one who knows me best.

So, I also know you best.

Margaret, you won't give up Casimir for me.

No matter how Casimir treats you, you will not be disappointed in Casimir. You will stay and be a beacon to illuminate the way forward for future generations.

This is indeed meaningful, but I think you will definitely be very tired if you do this...

I've already made travel plans, so don't come looking for me. If I want to find you, I'll show up. Maybe it's when you're in trouble, or maybe it's... well, forget it, I won't say anything discouraging at this time.

The good news is that I got a special medicine - maybe I can live longer than I thought. I plan to use this time to travel around Terra.

I've said before that I'm going to write a book, a travelogue of Tyra or something like that, and you know, I'm the type to do whatever I want.

I guess Casimir doesn't welcome me anymore, so... I don't plan to come back.

Then, um... I should also ask you to apologize to Maria and Zofia. I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. I think you could also let them go to Rhodes Island. The people there are nice, and it would help you relax.

The doctor should agree... After all, I gave her a large part of my assets and information. Of course, you get the lion's share. Everything I have in Casimir, or everything I feel I can give up, has been handed over to you.

Accept this great gift and build our common hometown in the future, do you understand?

Anyway, you can't return the goods now. I think you should know which side is better than handing it over to the Trade Union.

Before I left, I wrote a long list of things to keep in mind, but then I felt like I was being long-winded. Writing a letter felt like being long-winded... like a nagging mother. I felt terrible, too, so I deleted everything.

But, every heroic story always has an ending. Margaret, I haven’t had the chance to see your ending yet.

But, I will look forward to it.

We will definitely meet again somewhere in this world in the future.

—Love, Noah Kyrielet

-

Besides the letter, the envelope also contained a large number of contracts and other items. Noah had left behind quite a few things. Some of them were handed over to Rhodes Island for management, but the majority were given to her. She had made excellent arrangements for her company and personnel transfers. It was easy for Margaret to just follow the instructions.

Margaret still has a lot of things to deal with. As the new head of the Linguang family, she also has to deal with the accusations against the fugitive Noah Kirilet and Mainna Linguang who helped the fugitive leave. Uncle Lime took the initiative to take the blame for this matter, but it seems that the only punishment was to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

As for the fugitive Noah Kyrielight, he was naturally slandered and framed by the Knights Association and the Chamber of Commerce, to the point of being a little exaggerated.

But I guess Noah couldn't see it either, so out of sight, out of mind.

To be honest, although many people have called for severe punishment for Noah Kyrielight, both the National Council and the Supervisory Board have been very perfunctory in their arrangements for Noah's capture. Although some very exaggerated verdicts were announced very seriously on the surface, when it came to the actual implementation, they let him off lightly.
