knight's oath

Chapter 55

Is it not fighting by force but wits?

Standing by the side pillar, looking at the two people playing chess in the middle of the field, Freya's eyes were full of sarcasm——

Are the two evenly matched?

When she saw the white king piece move, Freya couldn't help but be taken aback—maybe that person is even better.

King to King! ?Seeing Schneizel's last move, Freya couldn't help but gradually lose her smile—is this, a temptation?

Schneizel has never given away his hole cards so easily, so this move, could it be——

After hesitating for a while, ZERO took his black king back a step——

Freya chuckled lightly, "As expected——"

"If His Majesty said it, he would definitely eat the king without hesitation—" Schneizel narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the person opposite, "ZERO, what kind of person are you. I probably understand!"

Just when there was silence and seriousness here, a screaming girl suddenly came over - "You murderer - ZERO!"

A young girl from Schneizel's research team broke into the center of the field, with loose long hair and a pink dress. The anger on her face was clearly visible.There seemed to be something else in the frightened and angry eyes.

Freya looked at the chaotic scene coldly, and heard the girl's accusation in her ear - "Give me back Your Royal Highness Euphemia - you murderer! ZERO, I will replace Euphemia Revenge, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, a hint of hidden emotion quickly flashed in the silver eyes, and he looked at the masked person.

"Enough, Nina!" Suzaku, who caught the angry Nina in time, frowned, but subconsciously looked at ZERO who had been silent all along.

"Suzaku, aren't you the knight of Her Majesty Euphemia? Why, why don't you avenge her!" Nina sat on the ground weakly, and she could only cry aloud without any strength.

Feeling like watching a play, Freya couldn't help laughing out loud - immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Xiaoya..." Gino looked at her who was smiling lightly, and a trace of bitterness and sadness appeared in his heart.I never understood her mind, I was always rejected, and I never had a way to let her accept me.

In the silent banquet hall, the girl's laughter was exceptionally clear, and the arrogant yet arrogant laughter permeated the room.

Stopping her laughter, Freya raised the corners of her lips charmingly, looked straight at Lelouch, and approached step by step.

The smile on the girl's face is so enchanting, even if her face is covered up, it can't cover up the shock she brought.Lelouch looked at her in astonishment, and couldn't help but took a small step back——

Standing still in front of the other party, there was a red lotus in the middle, but Freya never looked at her from the beginning to the end, there was no smile, no killing intent, and no emotion in her silver eyes.

"Hey ZERO, I really want to—" The voice was abrupt, but Schneizel was still sensitive to the slight tremor in her voice, and couldn't help frowning.

"..."

Lowering her head, the girl saw the dagger that Nina dropped on the ground just now, and slowly picked it up.White fingertips gently caressed the tip of the dagger.

Karen looked at her warily, afraid that she would do anything.Unexpectedly, after a brief silence, before she had time to react, Freya snapped her fingers together, turned her wrist, and shot the dagger at——

"Master ZERO—" Kagura couldn't help exclaiming.

I saw the dagger slide across the side of the mask, drawing thin marks——

"Don't let me catch the chance, ZERO!" After saying that, Freya turned around and left the hall amidst everyone's astonishment——

…………

…………

In the dark starry sky, the moonless night looks extraordinarily cold and lonely.

The banquet representing the cooperation between Britannia and the Chinese Federation came to an end. For Freya, it was just a farce.

"Yuffie..." The familiar name was on her lips. The girl leaned on the railing of the gazebo, raised her head, and looked at the endless darkness. She seemed to see something, but nothing was reflected in those silver eyes. .

Bits and bits of the past flashed through my mind one after another——

When we met at a banquet for the first time, I thought it was just an ordinary Royal Princess Her Royal Highness, and some contempt and contempt were inevitable.It's just that when I saw her on the practice field the next day, everything changed.

With a weak appearance but a strong heart, she, like the morning sun, slowly and gradually projected into her heart.

The heart that had already been wiped out of emotion on the battlefield seemed to be warming up step by step at that time.

"Xiaoya..." The boy's voice was very clear in the silent night, with a touch of disappointment mixed in the hesitant tone.

Freya was careless, looking back, looking up, the stream of light was like water, indifferent and clear - "Is there something wrong?"

At that moment, Jino heard the violent beating of his heart, and heard the cry from the bottom of his heart—Xiaoya, why?Why do you keep shutting me out like this?

Can't help but a wry smile, the young man slowly walked over there step by step - it's just such a pair of indifferent eyes, it's this clear but bottomless silver eyes, pull yourself in!

Seeing the other party approaching, Freya was slightly taken aback, but did not take any action.Till she raised her head slightly and looked at the person standing in front of her——blonde, blue-eyed, handsome and cheerful, with a hint of loss and sadness at some point.

Why are you looking at me like that, Gino?So depressing, so hard feeling——

Freya, who was immersed in confusion, didn't know how touching she was in the eyes of the other party at this moment——

"Xiaoya..." Like a ghost, the boy bent down, stretched out his hand, and caressed the cheek that was not covered by the mask.

The emotion deep in the boy's eyes seemed to hit Freya directly, and she was in a trance for a while.

The approaching breath, the magnified face, and the ambiguity pervade the room——

A burst of warmth around her lips brought Freya back to her senses, she regained her senses abruptly, and pushed away the people around her.The wide silver eyes were filled with shock, but the slightly parted red lips did not utter any words.

The night wind blew over the girl's long hair, and the silky blond hair rose slightly in the air.The young man smelled the elegant fragrance that belonged to the other party, faintly.

Involuntarily, he smiled, a gentle smile, just for one person.

For a long time, I heard a slightly trembling voice, suppressing the inexplicable in my heart, "Why, Jino—" Freya lowered her eyes, not looking at the tenderness of the other party that was about to break.

Hearing this, the boy's face stiffened for a moment, and then a sigh dissipated in the air——

"If I say, why not?" He slowly sat down beside him, "Xiao Ya, no matter what you do, I will stand by your side. And no matter what I do, I don't need your reward. "

? !

Freya raised her head abruptly, and looked at the other party in a daze, the shock on her face was mixed with some emotion and - panic -

are you afraid?

Jino felt the deep sorrow in his heart, and couldn't bear to see the scene that made him feel distressed, so he couldn't help but had to avert his eyes and looked into the distance—"Xiaoya, I know, there are some things you don't want to let go of." Touched by someone other than Yuffie. I also know that the current me has not been able to let you fully accept me."

"..." The red lips parted, but she couldn't make any sound.

"But, I just want to, well, stay by your side. Just one request, one wish, that's all—"

The boy withdrew his gaze and stared at the people around him—"In this life, in this life, I just want to be by your side, is that okay?"

When the boy lost his usual hearty and sunny smile, when sadness, helplessness and tenderness appeared on his face together, it was so distressing.
