The story of the black silk female knight

While drinking, Edvina leaned against the tombstone and cried out in a voice loud enough for those nearby to hear:

"Do you even know that I've actually had a crush on you for a long time! But you're such a blockhead, always saying you'd stay chaste for the one you love... I even had you on top of me back then, and you didn't even react!"

"Oh wow, there's such a thing?"

Valensa, who had heard Edwina's cries, couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at Lily of the Valley with a secret smile:

"I never expected this... You used to be quite charming, actually managing to get a beauty like Professor Edvina to pursue you."

"She's pursued far too many men!"

Lily of the Valley gritted her teeth in annoyance:

"This person is fine in every other way, but her private life is too unrestrained... especially men are just entertainment tools to her, the only difference being length and girth."

"I was already in a relationship with Mengmeng at the time, how could I possibly let her get her way?"

"Hmm... I believe you used to be a very devoted person."

Valensa nodded at first, then gave an even more meaningful smile:

"But Ms. Edwina is also a hot and beautiful woman. Even if a normal man is unwilling in his heart, he can't resist her physically, right?"

"You can be on top of her and not react? Could it actually be your problem?"

"I'm perfectly fine! I'm perfectly healthy!"

Linglan was furious at the implied meaning in Valensa's words. She stomped her feet and her face puffed up like a steamed bun.

Fortunately, Edwina didn't go too far. After finishing the bottle of wine while saying all that nonsense, she burped, stretched, and left.

People continued to lay flowers at the tombstones and leave, and the cemetery gradually became deserted, soon with only a few people left.

That's why a crying sound that had gone unnoticed before was now particularly noticeable.

Chapter 121 Tell the Truth

Driven by curiosity, Valensa immediately took Lily of the Valley to find it.

In a rather secluded corner of the cemetery, they saw the source of the crying... it was none other than Leffle, the third-year logistics student who used the power of words.

Unlike Edwina's fake crying, which was just acting, Lefred was genuinely crying very sadly; her beautiful eyes were completely red and even a little swollen.

"Senior Leffre..."

Valensa hesitated for a few seconds with a complicated expression, but still chose to step forward to comfort her.

She didn't rush to interrupt LeBlanc's crying, but patiently stayed by LeBlanc's side until the crying subsided, at which point she promptly offered her wet wipes and a bottle of water.

"Thank you... junior, you're such a kind person."

Leffle took the wet wipe and wiped her face, then took a sip of water to moisten her throat before speaking in a still-choked voice:

"But Dr. Karen was a good person, why did she die so suddenly?"

"Because Dr. Karen is a true warrior."

Valensa sighed, and without changing her expression, recited the official statement fabricated by the academy:

"After accidentally discovering the cultists' whereabouts, he chose to play the long game, gaining their trust by pretending to cooperate, and ultimately successfully working with the paladins to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The reason he ran away when he faced me that day was because he was worried that the cultists would be frightened and cause his previous infiltration work to fail.

In a way, I was partly to blame for Dr. Karen's sacrifice... If I hadn't been so reckless, Dr. Karen wouldn't have had to launch the plan prematurely, ultimately perishing together with the cultists...

"How about you give me a good scolding, Senior Leffre?"

"...No, Valencia, you're not wrong."

Leffre bit her lip, looked at Valensa with a complicated expression for a long while, and then shook her head:

“You were just fulfilling your duty as a paladin, I can’t hold it against you… I just feel sorry for Dr. Karen’s tragic fate.”

“Well… actually, if you look at it from another angle, Dr. Karen can finally reunite with his beloved wife whom he has been longing for, right?” Valensa added.

"...Yes, Dr. Karen already has a wife."

As a result, Leffle seemed even more upset, and she even staggered:

"He probably doesn't even know or care that I'm crying for him, right?"

"This……"

Valensa was somewhat helpless. She really didn't know how to persuade someone who was in love with another person. She could only turn her gaze to the culprit not far away and signal Linglan to think of a solution.

Lily of the Valley didn't really have a solution. Although she often mocked Valencia for not understanding love at all and just being naive, she herself didn't know much about it either... If she were truly a love expert, she wouldn't have been so badly deceived by the Sinful Angel.

But it wouldn't do to just watch Leffle continue to be sad, so Suzuran hesitated for a moment before choosing to resolve the situation in the way she was best at.

"This lady."

Lily of the Valley walked over to Leffre, and amidst Valensa's 'you're hopeless' expression as she covered her face, she spoke in a calm and professional voice:

"The death of someone important is certainly something to grieve over, but it's best not to be excessively grieving, as overly intense negative emotions can have various adverse effects on your health, such as..."

Then came a long string of professional medical terminology.

Leffle was initially confused. Why would a girl she didn't know suddenly come up to her and spout nonsense?

But soon Leffley had a very familiar feeling. This way of speaking, those words that she didn't understand but felt were very impressive, weren't they all the things that person was best at?

And this girl...

Leffre didn't interrupt Lily of the Valley's endless chatter. Instead, she took the opportunity to observe Lily of the Valley closely, and the more she looked at her, the more familiar she seemed.

Her mind raced, frantically searching her memory for clues. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered where she had seen this girl before.

When she secretly followed Karen that time, she saw Karen take out an image crystal to mourn in front of his wife's tombstone. Wasn't that the girl who was with Dr. Karen in the old memories?

Could this young girl be Dr. Karen's wife?

That doesn't make sense... Dr. Karen's wife passed away a long time ago, so she shouldn't still be so young.

Then this is...

The young people who can get into the War Academy are all geniuses.

Leffre, a third-year student about to graduate, used her clues to deduce a rather bold conclusion.

"You're Dr. Karen, aren't you?"

To Valensa's astonishment, Lovely suddenly grabbed Lily of the Valley's hand, her expression excited:

"You didn't die, and there were no cultists at all... You studied necromancy only to resurrect your dead wife, but things went wrong in the end, turning you into what you are now!"

The college only made up this story about your sacrifice because they were concerned about their reputation, right?

Like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, Leffre was incredibly strong, and with Lily's current abilities, she had no chance of breaking free.

"No, that's not how it is, don't talk nonsense."

Lily of the Valley could only anxiously explain, then looked to Valensa for help:

"Hey, you idiot, come and explain this to me!"

"You actually called Valensa an idiot? You absolutely must be Dr. Karen!"

Leffre's eyes lit up even more, and she looked at Valensa, asking first:

"I think I guessed right, right, Valencia? Although I didn't see how things ended that day, I know more than anyone else! Those lies to protect one's reputation won't fool me!"

"Junior, do you dare swear an oath to Her Majesty the Sun Goddess?"

"I……"

Valensa froze; she really didn't dare swear to the sun goddess.

So she could only put on a stern face and read aloud in a respectful tone:

"I'm sorry, this matter involves church secrets, and I cannot disclose it."

"Looks like I guessed right!"

Leffle became even more excited, and couldn't help but hug Lily of the Valley tightly:

"Great, Dr. Karen, you really didn't die... This time I will not hesitate any longer. Even if you are married, I will attack head-on!"

I love you, Dr. Karen. Will you be my girlfriend?

"Ugh... Calm down!"

Lily of the Valley seems to be genuinely panicking:

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm really not Karen. My name is Lily of the Valley!"

"...Lily of the valley? Hmm, that's a cute name, it suits you perfectly right now."

Leffre dismissed Lily of the Valley's struggles and excuses with disdain.

She defied Valencia's previous impression of her as rather delicate, and lifted Lily of the Valley's chin:

"Lily of the Valley and Dr. Karen are actually the same person, right?"

"I don't... uh."

Lily of the Valley was about to continue arguing when she saw a glint in Leffleur's eyes, and her voice and tone became low and strange:

"to be frank!"

The art of words!

"Goo."

Chapter 122 Friend Support Function

Lily of the Valley gritted her teeth and concentrated, trying to resist the effects of the Word of Power.

While the special ability of Word Magic is convenient to use, its coercive power is not high. Cultivators with strong will can easily break free from the influence of Word Magic practitioners of the same level.

If Suzuran were still the lighthouse-level necromancer she once was, she would naturally be unafraid of incantations, but unfortunately, she is now just a frail young girl, and all her struggles and resistance are in vain.

She desperately didn't want to admit that she was Karen, but her mouth wouldn't stop talking:

"Yes, I am Karen... I failed to resurrect my dead wife with necromancy, and even transformed myself into her appearance... Ugh, I actually said it out loud."

"Great!"

Lefflew burst into tears again, but this time it was tears of joy.

She hugged the lily of the valley even tighter:

"This time I'm not going to let you off the hook, Dr. Karen... no, I should call you Miss Lily of the Valley now, be my girlfriend!"

"Calm down! Don't let hormones and pheromones cloud your judgment!"

The lily of the valley struggled with difficulty:

"I'm grateful that you'll like the old me... but I'm a woman now, and there are still many things to investigate. We're not suitable to be together!"

"Nothing inappropriate!"

Leffray did not hesitate at all:

"I love you, Dr. Karen, it has nothing to do with whether you are male or female. Even if you were to become a monster, I wouldn't mind, let alone just because you've become the image of your deceased wife."

As for the matter you want to investigate, I can help! Although I'm only in the logistics department, I'm still a student at the War Academy!

"This……"

Lily of the Valley was helpless, even feeling a little breathless from being hugged so tightly, and could only look to Valensa for help.

Leffre also looked at Valensa, her mind racing:

"Valenza, you've been following Miss Lily of the Valley... Oh, I see. The Church certainly wouldn't ignore someone as special as Miss Lily of the Valley, and you, Valenza, are a Holy Knight... So you're Miss Lily of the Valley's current guardian?"

"Uh...you could say that."

Anyway, since Leffre already knew the truth on her own, Valensa didn't hide it anymore.

Leffre immediately released the nearly breathless Lily of the Valley, walked to Valensa's side, took Valensa's hand, and looked at her with sincerity:

"Please, Valencia! Please entrust Miss Lily of the Valley to me. I will risk my life to take good care of her for the rest of my life."

"Well..."
