I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

On the way back to Dawn Fortress, Sophia squatted on the dragon's back with her knees hugged, looking at the clear sky ahead with a distracted look.

She felt as if her heart was covered by a layer of fog, and in her confusion she couldn't tell which future and ending she wanted.

The wind blew past her ears, causing her long straight golden hair to fly backwards, revealing the beautiful contours of her cheeks.

Her eyes lowered slightly as she looked at the majestic cities and scattered towns below, her fists clenched and unclenched continuously.

She wanted to rush to Duke Charles immediately, put the sword on his neck, and ask him what purpose the missions she had carried out over the years had achieved.

In fact, she already has a vague answer in her heart. She has been fighting for the justice in her heart, but in the end, it is probably just a sword in the hands of others.

What's even more tragic is that her sword has long gone against the justice in her heart, and can even be said to be the exact opposite.

"You are a good person, don't worry too much." Bai Yan stood beside Sophia and said calmly. "This world is full of truth and falsehood, you can't trust anyone easily. Only by walking your own path can you get the most authentic feelings in your heart, and then pursue the path you really want to take in your heart."

“Look at me, a prince, but in the end, I’m standing against my own country.

As for why? It's just something I wanted to do. "

Bai Yan felt a little emotional. He lowered his body and first sat on the dragon's back. Finally, he lay on Alicia's back, leisurely watching the clouds drifting by in the sky.

There was a moment of silence, with only the whistling of the wind remaining.

Just when Bai Yan was about to fall asleep, Sophia finally spoke in a low voice: "Am I stupid?"

"You finally discovered..." Bai Yan said as he turned his head to look at Sophia, but seeing her half-dead expression, his voice stopped.

With a light cough, he turned his head somewhat unnaturally and continued to lie down and look at the sky.

"I can't say you're stupid, it would be more appropriate to say you're naive. It's not easy to figure out people's minds, but you just believe whatever others say.

But don't blame yourself too much, the strong prey on the weak, even if you kill a good person by mistake it's no big deal."

"How is this possible!?" Sophia buried her head in her knees and shrugged her shoulders.

The hoarse voice had a hint of crying.

"Hey? Valkyrie is not allowed to cry." Bai Yan was slightly surprised, and quickly propped himself up and looked up.

"How can it be no big deal!!" Sophia almost shouted this sentence out loud, then suddenly stood up, pressed Bai Yan's shoulders and threw him onto Alicia's dragon back.

Bai Yan was in a state of confusion. This sudden situation made him not know how to comfort himself for a while.

He could only support himself with his arms, his body remaining stiff and motionless.

"I'm a sinner..." Sophia put her head in Bai Yan's arms, tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. "Bai Yan, you should kill me, why are you telling me this!!?"

Her voice was hoarse and her body was shaking. Sophia hugged Bai Yan tightly, as if she had found an outlet and wanted to cry out all the grief in her heart.

Bai Yan propped himself up, sat up straight, and shook his head gently.

This stupid woman, wasn't she quite crazy when she was stabbing people? Why is she crying in my arms now?

Patting Sophia's back gently, Bai Yan consoled her: "Sophia, you were just used by those nobles. As a Valkyrie, how could you not be able to withstand such a small setback? Are you just going to put down your sword like this?"

Sophia ignored Bai Yan and continued to hug him and cry bitterly...

"Hey, just cry if you want, but don't wipe your snot and tears on my clothes!"

Sophia still ignored her and instead hugged Bai Yan and cried even harder.

"Just hug me. These two pieces of meat on your body are quite fragrant anyway." Bai Yan simply lay down with her and let Sophia press her whole body on him.

There was no way, he really couldn't hold on any longer.

It was unknown how long it was before Sophia stopped crying and slowly sat up, pressing on Bai Yan's body.

"Have you cried enough?"

Bai Yan yawned, the afterglow of the setting sun and the sunset glowed on his face, revealing a bit of laziness and indifference.

Sophia's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know if it was because of the setting sun or because she was embarrassed by Bai Yan's words.

It's most likely the former, right? After all, Bai Yan had treated her like that in the dungeon before, and she didn't show any shyness, and she even stared at him with an unconvinced look on her face.

"Bai Yan, I've thought it through..." Sophia found herself still on Bai Yan, and her tone became slightly unnatural.

"If you've made up your mind, then do it. Wouldn't it be nice to leave those constraints and become a chivalrous female warrior and Valkyrie?"

After Sophia moved away from him, Bai Yan sat up and rubbed his sore waist.

"What image of a chivalrous female hero?" Sophia was stunned, snorted with a laugh, then became a little tender, looking at Bai Yan quietly.

"I plan to follow you. Perhaps only in this way can I swing the sword with unwavering determination."

"Follow me?" Bai Yan was a little surprised. "Aren't you afraid that I might lie to you?"

"Hmph, if you dare to lie to me, I'll chop off your dog head!" Sophia's emotions seemed to have fully recovered. Even as she said this, the silver sword in her hand was placed on Bai Yan's shoulder.

However, the silver sword only stayed there for a moment, and she slid it into the scabbard again.

"Bai Yan, do you know why my sword must protect the residents of the empire?" Sophia put the silver sword aside, turned her head and asked him, with a hint of sadness emerging on her face.

"I don't want to know, because it's probably not a very good memory for you."

"No, I want to say that."

"Then tell me."

“Because when I was a child, two peasant women deliberately lured away a monster that was about to find me in order to save me. I lived, but they died.

It's me who should be damned, not them.

From then on, I knew I had to do something to protect good people like them.”

"It's more than that, isn't it? Even without this incident, you would still be steadfast in defending with your sword, just like my first knight.

Although he is extremely rigid, he has a true knight's heart."

"Maybe? From now on, I can be regarded as a sharp sword in your hand. No need to pity me, please use me as you like!!"

Sophia smiled, then drew her sword and pointed it forward.

Alicia started to speed up at the right time, and the Dawn Fortress was ahead.
