In the instant the cyan and brown lights intersected, the brown light trembled violently and was the first to collapse.

"Oh no!" Leia exclaimed in alarm. If Leiward were to fall from this height again, he would likely die.

However, it was too late to stop it!

With a loud bang, Leward slammed into the field, kicking up a cloud of dust.

For a moment, no one could see what had happened.

Did Luo An win? Or did Leward win?

Can't see clearly,

Everyone squinted and could only see a knight standing in the center of the arena.

A sudden breeze blew away the dust, and Roan, limping, carried the barely alive Leiward and unceremoniously threw him to the ground.

Then, Luo An couldn't hold back any longer and sat down heavily on the ground. He gasped for breath and raised his hands.

"I won."

After saying that, Luo An couldn't help but grin.

For the first time, Luo An finally experienced the joy of combat. The hard training of the past six months had finally paid off.

This made Luo An feel relieved.

"I lost." Leward lay on the ground, his expression unreadable.

"Luan Yunina, you are very strong."

"Thank you," Luo An said sincerely.

"You've lost the family heirship, what will you do now?"

Leward did not want to respond.

Luo An asked again.

Leward then raised his head.

"Is that something you should be concerned about?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Luo An patted the dent in his armor, feeling a little distressed.

"I'm just a thug."

"No matter how unwilling you are, whether you hide under the covers and wipe your tears, or find a place to commit suicide out of shame, I will feel nothing."

After a pause, Roan said, "Leward, you don't actually care about becoming the family heir; you want to become a true knight, right?"

"Don't think about it too much. Your life goal has come to an end for now, and there's no way to turn it around."

Let's try something different. How about becoming a wandering knight?

"Your cousin, Leia Lionheart, was also a wandering knight. Perhaps that's why she's so strong."

"..." Leiward barely managed to lift his head and sized up Roan.

"You're wrong. I really want to be the family heir."

Luo An was taken aback, then laughed somewhat awkwardly.

Leward closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them again.

"Thank you, Roan Yunina. You saved my life."

"Perhaps you're right, I should change my target."

After saying that, Leward closed his eyes. He didn't want to say anything more.

Luo An was too lazy to say anything.

At that moment, a golden light flashed before Luo An's eyes.

[Golden Achievement: Humility]

[Unlock condition: Communicate with 10 knights, achieve mutual understanding and recognition. (1/10)]

Another new achievement has been unlocked.

Still a gold achievement. Still need ten guys.

To date, Roan has only unlocked one gold achievement.

Now, looking at the gold achievement bar, it's filled with countless unlocked achievements.

Conversely, the silver and white achievements we see now almost all have unlocked the relevant entries.

That damned golden achievement has been keeping Luo An in suspense for so long.

Why can't it be completed directly like a silver or white achievement?!

Shaking his head, Roan glanced at Leiward and found it somewhat amusing.

What a hypocrite!

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the audience could finally see the two people competing.

Surprisingly, neither of the two apprentice knights was injured despite facing such immense power.

There seems to be a trace of harmony.

After a long silence, someone finally muttered, "Is it... over?"

Now, it wouldn't be surprising if the two suddenly jumped up and fought again.

Until Luo An stood up and waved his hand.

The audience erupted in cheers once again.

Petals and handkerchiefs fell again.

Luo An no longer cared.

Even his resentment towards Layton completely dissipated because of his good relationship with the Lionheart family.

Ignoring Ryder, who was ashen-faced as a dead dog, Roan gave Layton a smirk and a knightly salute.

Layton was taken aback, his expression strange, and he nodded slightly to Roan in return.

His gaze shifted to the other members of the Lionheart family, his expression softening.

Luo An was already the biggest surprise.

Leiward, Leia, and Ryan—these young people are all outstanding.

Layton's expression suddenly darkened.

In contrast, Ryder had actually deceived him, urging him to abandon the family's long-standing rules. This almost led the Lionheart family to true decline.

"Hmph, Ryder. Stop sprawling around." Layton barely suppressed the urge to berate Ryder.

"Go check on Leward. Also, you need to rest for a while and hand over the work to Leia."

"Yes, Father." Ryder bowed his head. Mentioning Ryder, he reluctantly got up and left.

As for Leia, Layton fell into deep thought. He would be busy for a while, preparing for the handover of Leia's successor.

And, to prepare a wedding ceremony for the two young people.

Roan Yunina will soon be renamed Roan Lionheart.

Thinking of this, Layton was in a great mood. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave Roan a smile.

As if he had seen a ghost, Luo An felt a chill run down his spine, then everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed onto a soft mass.

"Luo An." Leia gently stroked Luo An, her face slightly flushed.

"I...I don't know how to thank you."

Luo An tried to break free from Leia, but he didn't have much strength.

I'm exhausted.

"That's good." Leia didn't let go, murmuring, "That's good."

Leia looked up. Ya Yang was chanting a healing spell for Leiward and hadn't noticed them yet.

Ryan wanted to talk to Roan, but Leia's glare deterred him.

As for the others, it's troublesome.

"Luo An, come with me first." Leia half-supported and half-dragged Luo An, quickly passing through the crowd and entering a secluded corridor.

"I have something to say to you. Luo An, are you listening? Do you need treatment?"

Luo An shook his head reluctantly, he was just too tired.

At that moment, Leia put Luo An on the ground and made sure he was lying down properly; that was more important than anything else.

Luo An suddenly pounced onto a layer of soft velvet, which smelled of L'Oréal.

Luo An's spirits lifted, and he looked up to find himself in an elegant room.

Leia leaned against him and used the back of her hand to wipe the dirt off Roan's face.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Don't fall asleep. Roan, you might need to sleep for a few days."

"At that time, I will go home with my grandfather, back to the real Lionheart family. There will be a lot of preparations, and we may not see each other for a long time."

"By the way, do you want to change your surname to Lionheart?" Leia asked softly.

Luo An shook his head.

"That's true." Leia wasn't surprised. She murmured softly, "Yunina, Yunina, it's a woman's name. She must be very important to you."

"You care more about those fifty silver coins than me, don't you?"

"I'll leave it at that for now. I'll talk to Grandpa."

Leia moved closer to Roan again.

"Luo An, are you listening?"

Luo An nodded reluctantly; the room was very comfortable. Luo An's eyelids felt heavy.

After an unknown amount of time, Leia asked again, "And now?"

Luo An was too weak to respond.

Suddenly, Luo An felt something wet and itchy on his face.

Leia whispered in Roan's ear, "Don't overthink it, Roan. It was just a selfless kiss full of gratitude. Thank you."

......

After waiting for a while, the familiar golden light did not appear.

Leia did not trigger [Mercy].
