Volume 7: Chapter 42: It Should Be This Way

"I...I'm so frustrated..."

Suffocated by the pillow, Talina had no choice but to beg for mercy, not daring to resist at all.

There's nothing I can do about it. Who made her so talkative?

He chose the most sensitive topic and directly hit Xinteleya's soft spot.

Who would have thought that after all these years, this thing hadn't grown at all? It was like a bulletproof steel plate, hitting Talina's head and causing her headaches.

"I can't feel any ups and downs at all. This is probably the only one in the world?"

Although it was very impolite, Talina still urged in a low voice, keeping the volume low enough for only herself to hear.

But she forgot that the current Xintelaiya was not an ordinary Xintelaiya. She was Xintelaiya who had studied in the No-Head Alliance and was awarded the platinum title. Her little voice was no different from a loud noise in Xintelaiya's No. 2 Middle School.

So, Xinteleya increased the strength in her hands.

Talina's legs were swinging desperately, but Xinteleya was proficient in control and kept Talina pressed on the bed, not letting her move at all.

Gradually, Talina stopped moving, as if she had been successfully suffocated. The intensity of her struggles gradually weakened, and the claws that were pulling at Xinteleya also slipped away little by little.

"Ok?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Xinteleya quickly took the pillow away, but found that Talina had already lost her reaction.

"Hey...you...don't scare me!"

She gently patted Talina's cheek twice with her hands, and Xinteleya's voice trembled slightly.

She just wanted to teach this rude guy a lesson, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Why is it so fragile like a porcelain doll?

I didn't even use much effort?!

After realizing that Talina had lost her response, Xinteleya began to perform first aid measures in a panic, but as an assassin, she could kill people but not save them.

A few CPR presses almost popped Talina's eyeballs out.

"Stop pressing it! It's done! It's done!"

Hearing Xinteleya's rapid breathing, Talina realized that if she continued pretending like this, something might happen. She opened her eyes, turned over, flipped Xinteleya over, and knelt on the bed.

"I..."

Cintrea, who was suddenly knocked over by Talina, looked at Talina in surprise.

Where does this guy get so much strength?

"Are you still hiding something from me?"

Lying on the bed with her limbs spread out, Xinteleya stared at Talina with a serious expression, like a hunting beast, and Talina was her prey.

"I...I didn't...I told you everything..."

Shivering unconsciously, Talina spoke with a wandering look in her eyes.

"Oh~ It seems some people are still lying..."

Moving her arms, Xinteleya slowly crawled towards Talina, carrying a huge sense of oppression.

Talina stood there in a daze. There were escape hatches everywhere, but her feet seemed to be covered with glue, preventing her from moving.

Gudong~

Swallowing the saliva in her throat, Talina looked at Xinteleya who was already close to her with a flattering smile on her face, while at the same time reflecting in her heart whether she had been too arrogant just now.

"I..."

She opened her mouth to say something, but the scene in front of her was suddenly shrouded in darkness. Talina raised her hands to cover her eyes and subconsciously held her head in her arms.

Unexpectedly, what she waited for was not Xinteleya's punishment, but a warm embrace.

The steel plate on the chest was padded with soft pads, so it didn't feel as sharp as before, but rather soft.

Because she had just taken a shower, Xinteleya had a shower gel scent similar to Talina's, which smelled quite pleasant.

"Never mind... I'm glad you're still here."

Tightening her arms, Cintrea closed her eyes and rested her head on Talina's shoulder, feeling the warmth she longed for.

After living in fear for several years, it was only during these few days that she felt truly alive.

Even though I only eat fast food, even though I have to share a bed with another person, even though I have to wear a mask when I go out, but...

She has a home and someone waiting for her at home, and that's enough.

"I'm always here, from now on."

As if she had noticed something, Talina hugged her back, put her arms around Cintrea's waist, and "embraced" her in her arms.

She didn't know what kind of life Xinteleya had been living in recent years, but it was definitely not very good.

Although the Wuzhou Alliance earns a lot of money, the work is all risky, so how good can it be?

Just risking your life to make money.

The two hugged each other in great silence, and no one spoke to disturb the tranquility.

Soon, Talina noticed the sound of Xinteleya's even breathing in her ears.

After quietly freeing herself, Talina placed the already asleep Cintrea on the bed.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face, Talina felt a little helpless. Her instinct told her that she should leave, but now she stayed.

There is only one bed in this room. She could still have the whole life to herself when Xinteleya was not around a few days ago, but now that Xinteleya is back, it is not easy for her to continue sleeping alone.

After all, this is someone else's house. It is not polite to make the owner sleep on the floor.

But... do I want to sleep on the floor?

Talina stretched her head to look at the cold floor, then looked at the soft bed, and finally followed her inner choice and lay down next to Xinteleya.

Anyway, this bed is more than enough to accommodate the two of them, so it doesn't seem crowded.

After lying down on the bed, Talina stretched and prepared to end the day.

Calculating the time, the competition is almost here. The final between Margaret and Dikaiopolis is the day after tomorrow. I wonder how their preparations are going...

Her head was dizzy, and Talina rubbed her eyes and stopped thinking about it. She would know the result in due time anyway, so there was no need to rush.

"Hmm~ Sleep..."

Just when Talina wanted to close her eyes and rest, a pair of hands suddenly appeared at her waist and hugged her tightly, making her unable to move.

"Why are you so dishonest..."

She turned her head to tell Xinteleya to stop being naughty, but when Talina saw her sleeping face as before, she hesitated.

"Never mind... just this once."

Having given up on waking up Xinteleya, Talina didn't know whether it was an excuse for herself or for Xinteleya.

In the dim room, the two people's breathing intertwined, without distinction between you and me.

From an angle that Talina couldn't see, Xinteleya's mouth corners curled up slightly, and she pretended to tighten her arms casually.

.........

In the knight competition venue, the cheers reached a peak, far exceeding any previous one.

Even Mob, who had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, could not help but be affected. He began to become excited and interacted with the audience outside the venue.

In the contestant passage, Margaret, wearing armor, stood in place, holding the spear and sword of the war knight in her hands, looking forward.

She had experienced this kind of scene once before, and now she was just going through it again.

The calm heart is not affected by the outside world and is still as clear and peaceful as a lake.

A few years ago, she also stood on the podium and won the Knights' Championship, and she should have had a place on the wall of honor in the city center.

The position of the chief cavalryman of the Linguang family should also be handed over to her, and the title and honor should also be preserved.

But she was labeled as an infected person and was forced to leave here. Now she is back here, returning to the arena as an infected person, competing with another real infected person.

She is not aiming for the championship or fame, what she wants to do is very simple.

She just wanted to tell the guys who used despicable means to expel her that she...Margaret Linguang, has returned to her hometown!

As an infected person, as a person despised by all, with the weapon in her hand, with her faint light...

she...

It will keep shining, like a beacon in a storm, giving direction to those who are lost and letting them come closer to it.

The purpose is not to provide them with shelter, but to guide them on the right path.

Because she is a knight, and that's what a knight should be.

Volume 7: Chapter 43: Old Friends

"elder sister..."

Standing behind Margaret, Maria looked at the backlit figure with longing in her eyes.

Unlike Margaret, she had never known what her deceased parents looked like since she was a child. For some reason, she didn't even have any photos of them.

It was too far-fetched to expect Mainna, who was not even married, to take care of a baby, so they called Sophia.

As Maria grew up, Sofia was responsible for her daily food, clothing and transportation, while Margaret served as her companion, and it has always been like this.

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father and an elder sister is like a mother. In Maria's eyes, Margaret is not only her sister, but also her goal and her direction.

The brilliance of her sister shone on her and had a significant impact on her as she grew up, so she participated in the knight competition despite Margaret's departure and Mainna's opposition.

She was simply following Margaret's lead and protecting what her sister wanted to protect, that was all.

Now Margaret has returned and stepped onto the field again, chasing what she wants, hoping that her light can illuminate others.

She would naturally be happy for her sister.

Hearing her sister's murmurs, Margaret turned around, smiled, and gave Maria a thumbs up.

"come on."

Those simple words made Maria tremble as if she had been electrocuted.

Maria cheered herself up, smiled, put her left hand on her waist, raised her right hand in front of her body with her thumb raised, and cheered her sister on.

"Yeah! Come on!"

With her sister's encouragement, Margaret felt more motivated. She took off the goggles from between her eyebrows and walked towards the arena with her head held high.

Today's battle isn't for fame, it's just to stand in front of the stage, give those guys a heavy blow, and then...

Despise everything about them!

In the field, as Margaret walked out, cheers came like waves, one after another, continuously.

Tonight's battle is far greater than any previous one, because it is a decisive battle between two champions and two infected people!

This simply did not exist in the previous Casimir!

Opposite Margaret, a burly figure in blood-red armor also slowly walked out.

He held a sharp axe in his hand, the handle of the axe extending about a palm's length and held in his other hand.

The horns on its head were thick and winding, and the smell of blood lingered around it.

Blood Knight Dikaiopolis!

The champion of the last Knight Championship and the second "Infected" champion.

His predecessor was Margaret.

"Lin Guang's name resounds throughout Casimir, and now I see that it is well-deserved."

Dikaeopolis walked forward, his tall and burly figure carrying unmatched majesty. It was hard to tell that he was just a farmer in the fields before the competition.

"It's just a reputation built by our elders. Now, we younger generations have to spend a lot of effort to even maintain it. How can we dare to rub our hands with its glory?"

After chuckling twice, Margaret extended her right hand towards Dikaiopolis.

"I've seen the infected people in Plot Zero. They said you were secretly protecting them."

"You seem a little different from what was rumored?"
