After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

She sighed and said in a broken-jar tone, "Haha~ I've never won once."

This time even Murphy didn't know what to say to her.

Comfort? Filia probably doesn't need it. What she needs is never something false like comfort, but a real victory.

Murphy knew that she would definitely not be willing to accept her failure, even to her father Patrick.

Although she tried to hide her resentment after losing the duel with herself, that didn't mean Murphy didn't see it.

As one of the few people who had in-depth communication with Filia, how could Murphy not see it?

Of course he saw it, but he just didn't understand it.

Chapter 90 It’s None of My Business

"...Don't you want to try again?"

According to Murphy's idea, Filia's growth must be extremely fast.

I'm afraid she will surpass me soon, but that's okay, because this is how it should be, and it's right.

So it is the same with Patrick. Sooner or later, he will be defeated by his own daughter and eventually abandon his foolish ambition.

With trust in Filia, Murphy decided to continue to persuade her, but the other party's answer surprised him.

"What's the point?" Filia didn't look at him, but sat on the bed with her head down and responded in a low voice.

The high-quality silk nightgown only reached her knees, revealing her slender calves.

The calves looked a little thin, but Murphy knew the strength hidden within them.

"Why wouldn't it make sense? If it doesn't work now, it will definitely work later."

Murphy expressed his thoughts, and Filia finally raised her head and stared at him without blinking.

Seeing Murphy getting a little uncomfortable, Filia lowered her head again and said sullenly, "There's no future. Haven't you noticed... there's not even a sword in my room?"

After hearing her words, Murphy turned his head and took a look. With the moonlight outside the window, he quickly saw the situation inside the room.

It was just as Filia said, there wasn't even a sword in the room, which was almost impossible to happen in a swordsman's home.

Murphy reacted quickly. He looked back at Filia, who still had her head lowered, and asked, "Is Pa——your father?"

He didn't call Patrick's name directly, but he could say it in his heart or privately.

But the other party was an earl after all, and the person sitting opposite him was his daughter, so he couldn't call the other party's name casually.

Filia smiled bitterly and did not answer, she just remained silent.

But at this time, silence is the best answer.

In order to prevent his extremely talented daughter from becoming stronger and defeating him, Patrick chose to ruin his daughter's future in the sword field.

Murphy frowned, her feelings towards Patrick becoming increasingly negative.

He himself didn't know why. Maybe it was just concern for his friend, or maybe it was regret that Filia's talent was wasted.

Yes, Filia is a rough guy.

But on the other hand, she is the person that Murphy admires the most.

Murphy knew what Filia's sword meant. He had experienced it countless times in the late night and early morning when the moon was high in the sky, and in the noon when the sun was scorching.

For those without talent, the sword has long been engraved in their hearts, and Murphy is the one closest to it.

He was very envious. He envied Filia's innate talent and strength.

To put it bluntly, in the past, even he, who was content with being ordinary, had times of envy and jealousy.

For that sword, he had tasted so much bitterness and rolled in the mud so many times.

But what about Filia? As if mocking the weak, she only needed the simplest training to easily surpass the tiny progress she had made through countless efforts.

Therefore, although it only happened once and lasted for a very short time.

But Murphy did wonder why that kind of talent didn't appear in her, and why she was the only weak one.

This is an ugly emotion, no doubt about it.

But if we can put it another way, then this is Murphy's recognition of Filia's talent and his respect for Filia.

Yes, he was jealous of Filia, jealous of her gifts and talents.

But at the same time, he also knew that the sword was not just a shining talent, but was built on efforts beyond humanity.

Therefore, he had the highest respect for Filia's power, because only that sword was genuine.

But now, this power is about to be buried in this small attic.

What caused all this was just someone's selfishness.

Are you kidding me?

Murphy knew that he shouldn't think like this, and he also knew that he had no right to think like this, because it had nothing to do with him.

He was just an ordinary civilian, and Filia's future was a victim of the struggle between the kingdom's top dignitaries.

So whether it was Patrick's decision or Filia's situation, none of it had anything to do with him.

Things like the struggle between common people and the powerful on a large scale have nothing to do with it.

But so what?

Yeah, so what if it doesn’t matter?

In other words, it's none of my business.

Whether it is the struggle among the top dignitaries in the kingdom or Patrick's conspiracy.

None of my business?

All I know is that Filia's sword shouldn't disappear, and it can't disappear.

Isn't it normal for a selfish and evil person to have such thoughts?

Oh, right.

It seems that all this happened because Filia didn't meet the hero.

If you dig deeper, you will find that the cause of all this is me.

Because of me, Filia's sword is about to disappear.

That's not okay.

Even worse.

Maybe there were reasons not to intervene before, but now...

After a long moment of contemplation, Murphy finally spoke.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

"...What?" Filia was a little confused. She didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of what Murphy said.

Or maybe she actually understood it, but just didn't react.

Murphy didn't show any impatience. He slowed down his speech and repeated his question: "Let me ask you."

"Do you want to leave here? Leave this iron cage that holds the canary?"

This time, Filia finally understood, for sure.

But because of this, she fell into extreme shock.

After all, Murphy is just a commoner. How dare he say such outrageous words?

Does he know what he is talking about?

Thinking of this, Filia asked: "Do you know what you are saying?"

Her head had been raised again, and her beautiful eyes, wide open in surprise, were staring at Murphy intently.

"Don't say that kind of thing again." Out of concern for her friend, she continued to remind him, and her eyes never left Murphy's.

But facing her gaze, Murphy did not feel flustered, but laughed softly: "Yes, Miss Filia, of course I know what I am talking about. I am very sober now."

"Not only do I understand, but I'm going to ask again."

"Ms. Filia, do you want to leave here? Leave this fortress where the princess is imprisoned?"

It's like an improvisation.

And obviously.

This is not a script that any decent character can have.

Chapter 91 'Want to' and 'Can' are two different things

Everything Murphy said was completely unfounded and almost impossible to achieve.

If you must say, what he just said could even be selected into the common quotes used by gangsters to deceive ignorant daughters of nobles, and it might be quite effective.

But faced with Murphy's words that sounded like lines from a storybook, Filia really began to think about it, as if calculating how feasible these words were.

You know, Murphy might be considered a gangster, but Filia, who once worked as an adventurer with Candice for a period of time, is definitely not an ignorant daughter of a noble family. But she really looked thoughtful.

Murphy didn't say anything, just looked at Filia quietly, without disturbing her thoughts.

After a long time, as if she had gotten the answer, Filia gently exhaled a breath of foul air and let her breathing return to normal.

Murphy sat on the sofa and waited for her answer.

"Murphy, were those words you just said really not a joke?" Filia's expression and tone were very serious, a side of her that she rarely showed.

The last time Murphy saw her like this was when she discussed with the hero about staying by Candice's side during the battle.

By the way, when she came to me to learn swordsmanship after her failure, she seemed to have shown this expression.

"I'm serious." Murphy nodded at Filia who was staring at him intently. Since Filia had become serious, he couldn't continue to respond with a frivolous smile.

"Filia, you shouldn't waste your time here. There's a wider world out there."

These were Murphy's true feelings, so he said them seriously and sincerely.

Filia seemed to be shocked by his words. She unconsciously asked Murphy, "I'm your defeated opponent, how can you trust me so much?"

"Yes, at least in terms of swordsmanship, you are definitely the strongest one." Murphy nodded.

But regarding her trust in him, Filia hesitated again.

After a while, she gave a bitter smile and said, "Murphy... I can't help it."

Filia looked a little depressed when she said these words.

Or perhaps she was shocked by the outcome she had just thought of.

Of course she knew that Murphy was a thief, and she also knew that he was very skilled, so it was not impossible for him to rescue her from here.

But in Filia's opinion, even with Murphy's help she still couldn't leave here.

If she really left here with Murphy's help, what would await them both would be the pursuit of the entire Reinhardt family controlled by her father.

She had no way of escaping. Before a genius fully grew up, his performance when facing large forces was actually not much different from that of an ordinary person.

Just like when she secretly left the capital to find Candice, Patrick actually knew very well that his daughter had gone to Lars, but he still sent Riley there with a mission.

Although Rayleigh had assigned the task of finding Filia and bringing her back to Wilfred Castle to the fat pig city lord who had disappeared, it was not a pursuit at all, but just a small warning to Filia.

Patrick's meaning was clear: I know where you are, and if you are willing to come back on your own, that would be best. If not, don't blame me for being rude.

In this life, Filia returned to Wilfred Castle under the influence of Murphy and the persuasion of old Jed.

But in her previous life, she was not influenced by Murphy and Old Jed, and she eventually returned there.

So she couldn't escape no matter what.

But at least, she hoped she wouldn't be a burden to Murphy.

She didn't want to see her friend caught and executed by her father just because of some stupid plan.

And if something happens to Murphy, what will happen to Candice?

So, absolutely not.

Thinking of this, Filia shook her head at Murphy again: "Thank you, but I can't leave here. I can't do it. You should go back early and don't worry about me."

"If you really want to help me, then I hope you can agree to my request and help me take good care of Candice."
