Walking on the stairs leading to the high platform, Catherine seemed to feel a sense of relief that she had never felt before, and at this moment, the girl's heart was extremely calm. ⊙ the top of the novel, awakened by the people competing for interests, re-examining her heart, and once again making a knightly oath, the girl seemed to feel that she herself had returned to the past, back to the days when she was just an ignorant little girl, when her heart was as clear as water, and her heart only had the firmest beliefs, not polluted by the world.

The girl remembered in a trance that the first time she looked up at the statue of Nelly, looking up at the name of the knight who represented the legend and deeds sung in the epic, and her heart was full of infinite longing. Stroking the declaration of Nelly engraved on the stone slab in front of the statue, and whispering the handwriting on the stone slab, the girl who has not yet become a knight was attracted to Nelly for the first time, at that moment, the girl felt that her heart was infinitely close to the inner world of the hero, at that moment, the girl seemed to feel an emotional gaze coming from the infinite world, crossing the boundaries of time and space, passing through the barrier between the past and the future, and finally condensed from her back, the girl seemed to feel that she was standing with the hero, under the protection of the hero's brilliance, she had the courage to fight against the difficulties and pains, and dared to face all the evil and injustice。 From then on, the maiden decided on her own knightly path, a difficult path that never changed.

The girl vividly remembers the first time she knelt in front of Nelly's statue and presented her knightly insignia to Nelly's statue. The unique emblem of neutral knights abandons a fancy pattern, only a simple sword and shield, the sword represents the courage to split the path of thorns against evil and oppression, the shield represents the determination to protect justice and justice, and the knight dedicates his emblem to give his loyalty and life, never to look back. The emblem was presented, the knight's oath was officially read under the statue, and the declaration of Nelly in front of the statue was recited again. The knight girl seems to have the same illusion as many years ago, obviously in the empty small square, but the girl seems to feel that she has received a gaze full of relief and joy condensed behind her back, wrapping her body, bringing warmth and courage to herself.

But as time goes by, I don't know when it started, and the worldly qiē gradually clouded the girl's faith with a layer of dust, and I don't know when it began, when it was time to make a choice, the first reaction in the girl's brain was the pros and cons of the choice rather than the justice of the choice. Although the final choice did not follow the pros and cons and violated justice, although the final choice did not betray her beliefs, the girl could not deceive herself, she knew that her will was not strong enough, and in the face of temptation again and again, she would still be moved, and even just a few days ago, she really thought about herself in a sudden encounter. When he really loved his grandfather Snape, facing the sad eyes of the old man, feeling the reluctance and expectation of the old man, his heart was shaken again. If we continue like this, we may not know one day, our faith will be shaken in the face of temptation, and we will completely sink into the whirlpool of interests. Forever disqualified from following the path of Lord Nelly.

"But not anymore, never. The knight girl had a faint smile on her face, and there was no more hesitation or confusion in her clear eyes. The girl's thoughts just now were complicated. The question of who is right and who is wrong between the two countries, whether it is reasonable to entangle each other for the good of the country, and who is innocent between those who will be sacrificed and those who are protected by their sacrifice are the questions that swirl repeatedly in the girl's mind. Although Freya said that there is no right or wrong, this is the reality, and this is what every leader must do, Catherine never agreed with this answer in her heart, and always felt as if she was about to catch something. Until now, she finally caught what she wanted to grasp, so she could smile calmly, and her straight body revealed the firmness in her heart: "I will no longer be confused, I will not hesitate, I will not accept temptation again, this is the knight, this is the knight's path, the knight's only correct way." ”

"Let's go. When Catherine and the girls walked down the platform, Pannis was waiting on the pillar with his arms folded, and it was obvious that he guessed that the knight girl was tired of what she was seeing, and guessed the girl's desire to leave, so he would leave the stage early, so as to give the girl an excuse to leave. Catherine had a smile in her eyes for this little tacit understanding that belonged to her family, and when she walked by her, she patted Pannis's arm and said, "Also, thank you." ”

"Huh?" As soon as Pannis looked up and saw Catherine, he couldn't help but let out a low cry, and said with some surprise: "You seem to have figured out something very important, and the whole person's temperament looks different." Tsk, I can't help but feel a little jealous of you, do you know what it means to figure out these things?"

"What does that mean?" Catherine apparently didn't pay attention to Pannis's jealousy, tilted her head mischievously to look at Pannis, and asked playfully, "Does it mean that someone will pay me a large sum of gold coins?"

"Whew, it seems that you really didn't guess. Pannis shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You know, I don't know what the specific questions you have figured out, but I know very well the importance and difficulty of it." Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand people who have come this far will be stuck at this step, and they will never be able to think of taking another step forward for the rest of their lives. And what about you? You have somehow crossed this obstacle now, and you have a smooth road in front of you, as long as you accumulate enough, you can naturally take the last step. I guess you know what I'm talking about. ”

"Really?" several girls exclaimed almost at the same time, "You mean that the eldest sister is about to be promoted?"

"How is it possible, how can it be so easy. Pannis shook his head and said: "It's just that the obstacles in front are gone, but it will take a long time to improve her strength, no one can say for sure this time, maybe five years, maybe ten years, but no matter how long, in general, as long as she is alive, she will definitely take that step." ”

"Ah, big sister. Lina couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and awkwardly touched her bald head and asked, "What have you figured out?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing. Catherine smiled, and at this moment she seemed to feel the gaze that had crossed time and space condensed on her again, and in this feeling, the girl said lightly: "I just understand, many things, maybe for most people, there is no right or wrong, but for knights it is different. For the leader, for the people, and even for the victims, these really don't matter whether they are right or wrong, it's just a matter of position, but for knights, wrong is wrong, no matter how beautiful the embellishment is, it's still wrong, these things can be done by others, but as knights we can't do them, but we should do the only right thing, which is what we will do.
