Angel Son of Tomorrow's Ark

Maria: "Zo, Aunt Zuo Zofia~! Walk slowly, I'm so scared! (.>?<.)"

"Young lady, what are you afraid of?"

Zofia gave Maria a blank look.

Her "slap!" made Maria scream.

"Head up! Hold your chest up! Take a deep breath! Your armor boots are also designed with high heels, why are you afraid of wearing ordinary high heels? You are so timid, you don't look like a representative of the Linguang family, cheer me up !"

"Even if you say so~~!...It's the first time in my life that I'm wearing an evening dress, my shoulders and back are chilly, I'm so ashamed..."

Maria, who has put on makeup, a dress, and necklaces, jewelry, and stockings that she doesn't usually wear, although she looks like a dazzling beauty on the outside, she still seems to be a little girl on the inside.

Compared with her, Zofia next to her was a complete socialite, impeccable both in appearance and demeanor.

Seeing Maria's mournful face, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"Although you and Margaret have inherited your mother's beauty, but their personalities are far from the same... Back then, she and your father were the cards of the Linguang family, and even the entire Casimir. It can make even the great nobles of Victoria stare dumbfounded...I don't ask you to be as good as your mother, but at least don't hide on my back like a koala, right?"

"Uuuuuuu......Even if you say so, Auntie, I'm not a mother after all ( ?o ﹏ o? )"

Because of Maria's timid appearance, Zofia didn't even bother to correct her address.

And since she was going to show up on social occasions, Zofia had no choice but to be patient and let Maria call her by the correct title of her generation.

But this girl still has to make progress, she quietly raised her head and said:

"By the way, aunt, you are obviously about the same age as your sister. You were still a child when your mother was there, right? So it's probably a memory filter... Oh, it hurts! (.>?<.)"

Maria sniffed aggrievedly, and rubbed the head that had been thumped by Zofia.

Today they accepted Luo Zhen's invitation to attend the reception salon hosted by Rose Newspaper as his female companions.

[Rose Newspaper United Company, 170 two professional media, brand-new intercity network portal business, open the window to the earth for you. 】

Just like their slogan, Rose Newspapers is the absolute leader and helm of the Casimir media industry.

Most of the named information channels are their family's industry.

Even the Quad Cities Athletic News, which everyone reads, and the Red Wine News, the representative of gossip magazines, and even the most serious Central News, are actually subsidiaries of the Rose Newspaper Group.

Luo Zhen was invited by one of their spokespersons named McKee to attend the event.

He used to go to this kind of entertainment by himself, but this time he happened to be chatting with Zofia and the others, so he invited them to go with him by the way.

According to Maria's personality, she would definitely rather forge iron in a workshop than to wear a dress to participate in such a party.

But Zofia felt that this was a good opportunity, so she forced Maria to agree.

She held Maria's weeping face in her arms and rubbed her forcibly:

"Listen to me Maria. You are also 18 years old, and you are already a mature girl. If you want to change another daughter, you have already started to show up in the social arena. It's too late for you, why not say Totally late!"

"But from now on, or from now on, you will be the representative of the Linguang family. In the future, whether you want to or not, unless you choose to give up the surname of Linguang, you will always have to accept this kind of entertainment. Whether it is good or bad, this is also a noble As part of the responsibility, you have to accept it."

"...But, but..."

Maria was still not convinced, and kept holding the skirt of her chest with one hand:

"My sister always said that we are knights. The important thing is to protect the people with the weapons in our hands, not to be glamorous on the surface... Besides, I don't necessarily have to be Linguang's long cavalry in the future, right? Uncle is..."

Zofia: "Then you have the ability to convince me that scumbag who keeps illegitimate children everywhere and dare not admit it, let him take on the responsibility of the long ride."

Zofia didn't bother to say anything, and let out a big sigh on the spot.

Recently, they have become very familiar with Roja.

He would go to support every game, and he was featured on the Red Wine newspaper several times. The introduction confirmed the rumor that Roja was the illegitimate child of the Linguang family.

But even so, Roja is still generous and very friendly to them.

The more they realized Roja's kindness, the more angry the aunt and nephew would be with Manna!

That man has pretended not to know about it until now, not only has he never met Roja, but he has not said a word!

Thanks to Roja being such a good person, he didn't intend to seek revenge on Manna at all.

Otherwise, as long as he has such an idea, Zofia and Maria will definitely rush ahead of him and help him teach Manna a lesson!

So, logically speaking, Manna should be the long rider of the Linguang family.

But that former young prodigal son, now a middle-aged social animal, hated such things far more than Maria.And it's as stubborn as a stinky rock, and it doesn't make sense.

That man would rather nod and bow in the workplace and be a servant than go to a banquet to socialize with others, only this has not changed since he was young.

Of course, Zofia believed that she also understood a little bit of his thoughts.

The long rider of Linguang's family was the father of Maria and Margaret from the beginning to the end, that is, his elder brother.

Therefore, the next generation of Changqi should not be the younger brother of Manna, but one of his eldest brother's two daughters.

It is no one else who insists on this point the most, but Manna himself.

For this prodigal son who is stubborn on the surface but actually admires his elder brother the most, if he becomes a long rider himself, he will have a feeling of tarnishing his elder brother.This made him prefer to be beheaded.

So Zofia didn't bother to persuade him, and would rather train Maria up.

In the past, because the Linguang family did not have this condition, Maria was not interested in aristocratic society, so she had to give up.

But now, the situation is different.

Now that Luo Zhen (Luo Ya) is here, Linguang's family suddenly turned around 1080 degrees, and the male population doubled!

Zofia arranged Maria's dress and hairstyle, and continued earnestly:

"Margaret's words are correct, and I understand your insistence. But Maria, the reason why knights are called knights, not warriors, is because they also bear responsibilities other than fighting."

"When there is a need to fight, the knight is the soldier who defends the country. And when there is peace, the knight also acts as a leader, and is to become a beacon that others admire and pursue."

"Beacon..."

Maria chewed on this word, which literally means materializing a knight, and felt a little profound.

This is indeed materialization in the literal sense, the responsibility of the ideal knight.

No one is perfect, and there is no born perfect knight in this world.

But by learning the ideal of chivalry, people can move towards the perfection of their goals.

A real knight should be a seeker who practices this spirit and a pioneer who opens up the way for future generations.

So, Zofia said:

"Your father and mother, those are the golden boys and girls of Casimir. They can be the most tenacious fighters on the battlefield, and they can also be the most gorgeous idols at the banquet. I think this kind of social occasion is not good, Resisting all such behaviors is just pure cleanliness."

"Ugh... But, sister, she..."

Zofia: "Margaret is a model of cleanliness. But that's because she was young and rebellious."

Zofia, who is the same age as Margaret, is probably the one who can best understand this kind of mental journey.

Margaret is 6 years older than Maria.

When her parents suddenly disappeared and the sky of the whole family collapsed, she must take responsibility and protect her younger sister.

Because of the presence of Uncle Manna, the Linguang family temporarily avoided the most tragic fate, and still maintained the façade of the family.

But Margaret didn't want to make such compromises, asking her uncle to forcibly maintain the family by sacrificing herself and nodding her head as a social animal.

That's why Margaret disregarded everyone's obstruction, and immediately participated in the knight competition as soon as she became an adult.

She is not trying to make money.

On the contrary, she wanted to prove to the world that the most ideal and purest chivalry exists even in today's Casimir.

So she didn't accept any investment and packaging, and even made all the weapons and equipment by herself, and just won the championship all the way.

If all goes well, after this, she will probably return to the noble status of the Linguang family, and bring her younger sister to become a commoner.

She has no insistence on the title of nobleman, and the pride of the Linguang family is deeply buried in her heart, and she does not need outsiders' recognition.

But because she was confirmed as an infected person, the story of this martyr came to an abrupt end when she became the champion.

As a result, the bounty for Margaret to become the champion was gone, Linguang's family was still living in poverty, and only the Chamber of Commerce won.

To be honest, Zofia now thinks Margaret is stupid.

As long as she is a little more tactful, Linguang's life will be much better, at least she doesn't have to worry about making a living.

But if she bows her head for reality, then Margaret is not Margaret.

Like Zofia, those who became knights because of adoring her no longer exist.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zofia's heart, and finally turned into a sigh:

"Maria, I don't like the entertainment of nobles either. But, attending a banquet just to save face doesn't mean that I'm going with corrupt nobles. On the contrary, I want to prove to the world that noble spirits can be practiced."

"Your parents are a typical example. People will worship knights and envy nobles. Therefore, they work towards their status and lifestyle and want to become them. Are you willing to let those fat-headed bad businessmen represent nobles? This should not shock them All of a sudden, their jaws dropped in shock?"

The word [wealth] should be the goal that everyone pursues, but it has been distorted by some people unconsciously.

The nobles are the top of the social pyramid, and it is indeed easy to accumulate wealth.

But wealth should not be equated with words such as corruption and arrogance.

When she was young, Margaret rejected corruption and arrogance, so she refused along with Fuyu.

But wealth should be something that everyone pursues, the pursuit of a better life.

If you reject this at the same time, you are putting the cart before the horse.

The ideal noble responsibility should be to use one's own status to become an idol admired by the people.

The Linguang family should be such an ideal beacon, and generations of people have worked so hard.

"...Well, I see."

Maria pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

Although she didn't fully accept what Zofia said, she still worked hard and clenched her fists:

"I'm also Linguang, I can't embarrass my mother and sister! At least before my sister comes home, I have to protect Linguang's family name!"

"Well, this is my good niece."

Zofia rubbed Maria's chubby face.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was about to take it to a banquet to show to others, she would have wished for two more sips.
