"When I was ten years old, my mother died of illness; when I was thirteen, my father fought a fierce battle with the beast and sealed it at the cost of his life; it was in this year that I became the only hope of the Goldstaff family. Grandfather
Your Excellency has high hopes for me. He once personally taught me martial arts and riding skills, but he was soon forced to give up due to physical reasons. So he invited an old retired instructor from the army, who was also a comrade-in-arms of my grandfather.
He is also one of the few people he admires in his life, and he taught me how to become a qualified warrior."
"In my impression, the old instructor was a kind and kind elder. He always behaved like an ordinary grandfather, talking to us with a smile, and sometimes even teasing the children in the town with candies. Kuro
Ai's brother, my current family knight Worzel, was once teased by him. But once he entered the training state, he would become very strict, which can even be described as harsh. He would always pointed out my problems in training.
Any shortcomings do not give me, the eldest lady, any face. He often said: On the battlefield, a small mistake may lead to death or even endanger the lives of teammates. Therefore, no matter you are a eldest lady or other
No matter who you are, you have no right to make mistakes."
The girl's eloquent narration portrays an upright and majestic soldier image for the young man: "At that time, I was still very immature. I had not lost my childish impulse, but I also retained my competitive character. For those of him who were ruthless,
Naturally, I was not convinced by the accusation, so I made a bold move on the first day of training, which was to challenge him, and it seemed that he accepted my challenge just to dampen my spirit."
At this point, she laughed softly, as if she was very amused by her naive self at that time: "The result was naturally my disastrous defeat. He even said before the battle that you don't need to defeat me, as long as you can touch my sword.
, even if you win. But during the battle, I was played like a headless fly by him, scurrying around, unable to break through his defense. In the end, he hit me on the wrist with the hilt of his sword, just with one move.
So he asked me to throw down my weapons and refuse to admit defeat."
"That battle made me realize the difference in strength between the two sides, and I recognized his teachings to me. But at the same time, the energy to refuse to admit defeat began to surge up again, making me unable to accept such a humiliating defeat. So I
After that, I trained hard. From the moment I woke up in the morning, to the time I closed my eyes and fell asleep at night, all I could think about was training. The old instructor said that I was like a sponge. Whenever I had the chance, I would try my best to absorb all the information about the training.
In terms of combat skills and knowledge, maybe in less than two years, I will have nothing to teach you."
"But in fact, the time he had was shorter than imagined. Just three months later, I defeated him in a head-to-head duel, and I used all the moves he taught me." Xino raised his head,
Sparse stars began to twinkle in the bright and dark night sky: "Of course I was very happy, and the old instructor who was defeated by the students was not angry. On the contrary, he was very pleased and said to my grandfather, this child has deep feelings in his heart."
With the blood of fighting flowing through her, one day she will grow to a level that none of us can even imagine."
"I was recognized - a certain indescribable sense of pride filled my heart, and for the first time I strengthened my belief in moving forward. I am convinced that I can become stronger until I realize my family's long-cherished wish and make up for the loss between my grandfather and me.
Until the regret left by my father."
Xino gently clenched her palms, and the rose pattern on her white gloves gently rubbed her palms, but it made her feel a little stinging, so she slowly let go and said in a calm tone: "But this mood did not last long.
, about the sixth day after the battle, I learned an unexpected news: because I lost to the students, my old instructor, who felt that he had nothing to teach me anymore, resigned and returned to his hometown.
, I lay on the rocking chair in the courtyard one afternoon and took a nap, and I never woke up again.”
Lin Ge's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly understood something. Xino looked at his expression, and a carefree smile appeared on his face illuminated by the faint cold light in the cemetery: "Just as you thought, Lin Ge
Sir, my curse began to take shape from then on. It’s just that the instructor was already old, so both his family and me, the student, thought that he just died. Who would put an old man to sleep in the afternoon?
, associated with a ridiculous curse?”
"So after attending the funeral of the old instructor, I continued to walk on this road with a sad but more determined mood." She raised her hand and pointed to the front of the night, her eyes slightly blurred, as if the road was now
It stretched in her eyes, although wherever Linger looked, there was only endless darkness: "My martial arts skills have been honed, and my grandfather tried to let me participate in actual combat to accumulate experience; as the heir of the Gustave family, culture
, etiquette and other courses are also indispensable; in addition, there are studies in many fields such as politics, astronomy, geography, etc. My grandfather hopes to cultivate me into a perfect heir. The elimination of synthetic monsters is only a temporary goal. He is convinced that the future
I will have greater development."
"For ordinary people, the course is extremely cumbersome and heavy, but I persevered with tenacity. In the process of studying day after day, the old instructor's evaluation of me at that time came true again. He said that I was a piece of cake.
A sponge can absorb ideals and beliefs as long as there is a chance. Therefore, no matter how hard the training is, how obscure the knowledge, as long as I take it seriously, such as facing a serious battle with the mood of never admitting defeat, then
The final winner is often me; but similarly, every time I win a victory, there will always be someone around me who leaves me unknowingly, just like the old instructor."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The uncle who led me in actual combat training has served as a knight of the Gustave family for twenty years. He watched me pierce the sword with his own eyes.
It was he who taught me how to apply the skills I learned to actual combat, but he died in the hospital bed due to the recurrence of old injuries soon after. The teacher who taught me cultural courses helped me use short-term skills.
In just half a year, I mastered the three-year courses of students from other institutions of higher learning and greatly appreciated my learning and comprehension abilities. However, I lost my life due to an accident; there are more examples: the person responsible for mowing the garden lawn
The old gardener, the coachman who has served the Gustave family for many years, and even——"
Xino paused for a moment and looked back. The old butler Weber had left at some point. He deliberately avoided the conversation between the two, leaving only a candle in place. The faint candlelight illuminated the surrounding tombstones.
The pale gray-white color cast a warm glow. The girl sighed softly: "Webber's wife, Mrs. Stella, who treated me very well, also passed away one night and left us forever. She
The day before my death, I had just passed the entrance exam to Sumia State University and ranked first among all the freshmen. For me, that was a victory."
But at the same time, it is also a sacrifice.
Ringer remained silent and did not speak, listening to Xino's sad voice that continued to echo in the cemetery: "During that time, Chatoli Manor seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of death, but the reputation of White Thorn Flower was not there.
People suspect that this matter has something to do with me, but they are just lamenting the impermanence of the world. A person who was originally good can leave us in a sudden."
This is the cruelty of fate, but what is even more cruel is that what if these deaths are not accidental, but inadvertently caused by a girl desperately pursuing victory?
"The only person who felt something was wrong was me in the center of the whirlpool. When the girl who tried her best to do everything the best suddenly found herself trapped in a huge conspiracy of fate, every living life or
When everything passed away in her hands and became an inch of dust in the vast dusty wilderness, she began to feel fear. Although each of the deceased was not killed by her own hands, the person who caused the tragedy was undoubtedly the cruelest murderer in the world.
, because many people had made sacrifices for her victory, but she was completely unaware of it. Instead, she was complacent and complacent."
"The girl who understood this suffered an emotional breakdown and a drastic change in her personality overnight. The next day, she found her grandfather, told him all the truth, and then told him: I don't want to continue fighting, because I don't want to
See more sacrifices.”
"I originally thought that such a weak decision would make my grandfather fail me, and I could even imagine his harsh words of rebuke to me. How could a knight who was fearful after witnessing sacrifice become the bearer of the white thorn coat of arms?
, how can we not bring shame to the reputation of our ancestors? But the fact is the opposite. After listening to my request, my grandfather did sigh, but that sigh did not mean disappointment, it was just a sigh.
I felt relieved. Then he said to me: In this case, you don’t want to fight anymore.”
"Live like an ordinary girl."
The girl raised her head and looked into the night sky. The thick night was like a mist, blocking her sight, making it difficult to see the road ahead. The bright road that once spread out in front of the girl also accompanied her crying and
Together with the painful and heavy decision, it was buried in the depths of time and memory: "So I put down my arms and entered Sumia National University for further study. And because of my interest in wind flower balls, I met Phyllis, George, Wen
Good friends like Senter and Layla, including Claire."
When he mentioned this name, Ringer was confused for a moment, because if he remembered correctly, the girl named Claire died of lung disease after participating in the college championship with Xino and winning the championship. Could it be that it was not an accident?
, but...
"It's just as you thought." Xino's calm voice came: "I failed to abide by the agreement with my grandfather and become an ordinary girl living in the world, and that broken appointment also caused me to lose the best thing in my life.
friend."
Because he raised his head, Lin Ge did not see that the wine-red eyes were gradually emptying. Under the cold light of the cemetery, they were swaying with a vague shadow, like a huge shadow in the heart, always shrouding the girl's eyes.
Memories: "Claire is a very special girl. She is optimistic, cheerful, strong, and always has a smile on her face. Every time I see her, she always reminds me of my past self. Perhaps because of this, we are
Can become good friends. Claire's talent and enthusiasm in playing ball are so strong that it is difficult for anyone to match. It is probably hard for you to imagine that a freshman who just entered school took less than half a school year to become a good friend.
She gained the recognition of everyone in the club and even attracted the attention of some professional clubs. Her dream was dazzling, shining like the sun on the club at that time, making everyone follow and admire her."
"For someone who loves fenghuaqiu so much, she was naturally extremely excited when she heard that the college championship was about to be held. Although many people invited her to form a team to participate in the competition, the person she finally chose was me. I had long forgotten it at that time
Because of my competitive past, I have become a person who is not even willing to go all out in training, because I know that once I devote myself to it, both the victory I gain and the sacrifices I make will be unimaginably painful.
"
Xino was no longer talking to Ringer, but was completely immersed in his own memories, murmuring to himself: "This attitude inevitably arouses criticism. Some people think that I am just showing off, and it has basically tarnished my mother's reputation.
Vincent was once one of them, but he has a straightforward personality, so in the end we turned enemies into friends, but more people spread rumors in dark corners, such as cold arrows that are difficult to guard against on the battlefield. Faced with these criticisms, I always
I couldn't argue, so I could only acquiesce that they thought so. But Claire said to me, you have to prove to them that you are not only the daughter of the legendary player Mistian, but also Sheno Jean Goldstaff.
All the glory you have comes from strength, not from having a good mother or a background that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I wanted to say that such proof is unnecessary. I am no longer the knight who regarded honor and disgrace as life and death in the past. I am just an ordinary girl. But Clay
My son was so insistent that he not only pestered me in school, but even once went to Chatoli Manor to talk to my grandfather, hoping to persuade me to change my mind. Perhaps it was to help me get rid of my inner demons, although my grandfather did not agree.
, but also kept silent. In the end, I couldn't stand her enthusiasm, so I agreed to accompany her to the competition. What I thought at the time was that it would be fine as long as she didn't get serious."
However, this idea is often just wishful thinking.
Xino smiled bitterly: "In the beginning, I was able to maintain a relaxed attitude and participate in the competition as if I were wandering in the countryside. However, the consequence of this was that Claire took on my share of the pressure. She was quite
Yu Yao challenged the two players on the opposite side by herself, and relying on her personal strength, we won the first few games. I felt guilty about this, because I knew that this was only temporary.
She may not be able to survive against such a powerful opponent, and this is all my fault. I am an immature companion. If I cannot take responsibility, I should have decisively refused from the beginning."
"However, Claire didn't blame me. What I heard from her was always praise for her opponent and expectations for the next game. Even when the game was at a disadvantage, she would smile at me and pat her chest.
Guarantee: There will be no problem, because I’m here.”
The voice seemed to be getting lower at night, and the look between the girl's eyebrows gradually showed a rather heavy melancholy: "Only one time, she fell asleep in the lounge because she was too tired after the game. I sat down
Next to me, for the first time I heard the true words she murmured in her sleep, she said - Xino, when will you recognize me?"
"It turns out that it's not that she didn't notice, she was just waiting for me."
