Chapter 329: Giving Advice to a Rival
Heidegger, Froer, the Demon King, and Doyle Candice, who were lurking at the edge of the crowd, naturally remained undetected.
Therefore, Isabella on the stage could not know that she and Tina’s performance had caught the attention of their parents and Lolth’s boss.
Even the parents and bosses of both sides seemed to have a tendency to agree with this marriage.
But for Isabella and Tina…
It didn’t matter to them.
Looking at the audience and Superoperators below who were so shocked they couldn’t speak, Isabella lifted the Permafrost Zone.
The magic that turned into frost did not melt into water but instead sublimated and vanished into the air.
She walked off the stage, and the stage was clean, as if what had just happened had never occurred.
Only after she disappeared from sight did the center square of Hillenbrand Town once again come to life.
"Miss Isabella—so beautiful!"
"She is simply the Queen of Ice and Snow!"
The supporters of Isabella, who originally thought they were in a desperate situation, finally realized it after seeing Isabella’s figure…
As long as this legendary knight takes things seriously, there will always be hope to "win"!
The competition became exciting once again.
One side shouted Tina’s name, while the other side shouted Isabella’s name; both sides were extremely excited.
However, such roaring cheers did not shake Isabella.
She walked with heavy steps to the viewing area for the competitors.
When she first used "Permafrost Zone," just as Duke Heidegger had guessed, Isabella was indeed motivated by "Lolth" and the desire to surpass "Tina."
The training and experiences in Hillenbrand Town helped Isabella take a significant step forward, breaking through to the Middle Level of the legendary rank.
It also gave her a stronger heart.
Instead of protecting and defending the fading family honor, only by thinking of specific things, for someone special or some precious memories… can she become stronger.
That is why she could easily use the "Permafrost Zone," which had once made her fail many times.
Of course…
Although the process of using it was smooth and easy, the aftereffects were still a heavy burden.
After all, this is a skill similar to a "big move," and along with its high power and versatility, there is also a downside of high cost.
Because of this, Isabella looked a bit tired in her steps and figure.
The waves of magic around her also weakened considerably.
However, her eyes still sparkled with energy.
After passing through the entire spectator area, Isabella sat down next to Tina.
The other competitors naturally made space around them, creating an invisible bubble.
"Well done… It looks like you have been working hard, Sir Isabella."
After Isabella sat beside her, Tina quietly said, noticing her tired expression.
"You too… We’re in the same boat, Miss Tina; we’re both using music."
Isabella perked up and replied.
The exchange between the two girls seemed sharper than that of their elders, but there was also a hint of genuine friendship mixed in.
The two girls sat high up in the stands, watching the crowd below divided into two groups, shouting each other’s names, with a few cheers of "Long live Lord Lolth," lost in thought.
After a long time, Isabella was the first to speak.
"Tina… do you think I can beat you?"
Tina hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head.
"I don’t know either, maybe it’s a fifty-fifty chance?"
As she said this, she took off her hair clip and thought for a moment.
"But even if I win, what does it really mean?"
Although deciding a winner also shows the connection between the two people.
But when they had done everything they could to win, they suddenly felt a wave of emptiness.
Among the voters, there wouldn’t be Lolth.
And Lolth…
For the competition between the two young girls, there is no doubt that there is only one truly valid vote.
This vote has not been cast, and it seems it has already been given to someone else.
Isabella fell silent when she heard Tina say this.
But after a moment, Isabella shook her head firmly.
"No… Tina, I believe it is meaningful."
The knight girl suddenly felt her fighting spirit rise after a long time.
Listening to the shouts of the people and seeing their firm belief that either she or Tina would be a good match for Lolth, Isabella no longer hesitated.
A spark of hope flickered in her eyes.
"Even though our win or loss today may not truly have any ‘impact,’ everything is meaningful."
"Lolth’s past may be her precious memories… but we live in her present, Tina."
"We have only been with her for a few months, and even for you, that time has not exceeded a year."
"Of course, saying this makes it seem like we have developed feelings for her too quickly… but that doesn’t matter."
"What matters is… I want to start again in my own way, to make Lolthlinda aware of my feelings and become my partner."
"And I want to face you openly and decisively."
"This beauty contest is just the first round."
"Whether you or I win this round… I will not stop here!"
"Tina Leinster, Crescent… I hope you feel the same way."
Isabella looked at Tina seriously and said.
When she heard the cheers from the crowd and saw a few nobles from Seychelles cheering for her, she suddenly realized something…
As time passed, the world and relationships constantly changed.
Her feelings for Tina changed from dislike and misunderstanding to fondness.
The Superoperators of Hillenbrand Town also embraced their new lives here.
And would Lady Lolth really be a person who is emotionally stuck, unable to move forward and lost in the past?
Perhaps this was just an excuse for her own weakness.
She thought… Tina felt the same way.
So, maybe she really should face her own feelings!
After arriving in Hillenbrand Town… she truly experienced growth time and again!
Even when she could have chosen not to remind Tina, the fairy and her rival, she couldn’t help but do it.
This might be part of being a knight!
Showing everyone respect and help… even if she is your opponent!
After all, love can be like a battle.
Without a worthy competitor, it would be too boring!
