Filia's answer has blocked all the roads. It can even be said that it is an order to expel her.

Murphy didn't seem to think so, because after hearing these words, he laughed softly.

This laughter made Filia, who was in a pessimistic mood, couldn't help but cast a puzzled look over.

"What are you laughing at?" Perhaps because she felt offended by Murphy's laughter, there was a hint of unkindness in Filia's tone besides the sense of doubt.

However, facing her questioning, the smile on Murphy's face did not disappear, as if she had thrown all her dissatisfaction aside: "I don't mean to laugh at you, but..."

"Filia, don't you understand my question?" Murphy stopped laughing and put on a serious face.

But in Filia's eyes, he seemed to still be smiling, laughing at her weakness.

"What do you mean? Are you taking me for an idiot?" There was already a hint of gunpowder in her words, as if she would rush up and fight with Murphy if Murphy's reply did not satisfy her.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a sword, hand-to-hand combat works just the same.

God bless you, Murphy really didn't have such messy thoughts. He was just amused by Filia's answer.

But he is not a fool. He has already come out based on the explosive words he just said.

The Filia Reinhardt sitting in front of him now looked like an unhappy cat whose pride had been hurt.

Since the kitten is unhappy, you can coax her or persuade her, but you have to smooth down her "furry up" first.

"Filia, don't you understand my question?" Murphy repeated what he had just said.

Then, he explained to Filia why he had asked her that question: "Filia, the question I asked you is - do you want to leave here, not whether you can leave here."

"'Want to' and 'can't' are two different things, so I said you didn't understand my question."

Looking at Filia's unconsciously opened mouth, Murphy smiled softly again.

He knew that Filia had been convinced by him.

Chapter 92 Debate

"You should understand this time, right? After all, you're not a fool. You said it yourself." Murphy looked at Filia with her mouth wide open and made a joke.

However, the next second, before Filia could react and scold him, he put on a serious look and said, "So, Filia, do you want to leave here?"

"I......"

"You either want to or you don't, just choose one of these two answers, even if it's just a nod or a shake of your head." Looking at Filia's hesitant look, not knowing what to say, Murphy reached out and pushed her.

There's no need to hesitate, right? Haven't you already figured it out? The answer in my heart.

What do you want to do now and how did you do it in the past? Isn’t it very simple and clear?

If the Filia Reinhardt I know were faced with this situation, she would probably immediately turn the entire kingdom upside down with her sword.

Even though you can’t do it now, it doesn’t matter, you just need to give an answer.

As for me, I'm just someone who gives you a push from behind, just like... that brave man did back then.

Filia in front of him showed a visibly conflicted expression, and it seemed that it would take some time for her to convince herself.

But Murphy was not in a hurry and did not say anything. She just waited patiently with a smile on her face.

Because he already knew what Filia would say next.

Murphy didn't have to wait long.

Filia sighed deeply, and then, as if all her decadence was taken away by this breath, she immediately changed her previous melancholy look and turned back into the person that Murphy was familiar with.

However, Filia did not answer, but first asked Murphy: "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why would you want to persuade me to leave?"

Facing Filia's serious questioning, Murphy just smiled and said, "When a friend is in trouble, do you have to help him?"

"Tell me the truth." Filia frowned, but in the end she didn't ask Murphy why she was laughing. Instead, she continued, "And I still don't understand. After all, what happens to me in the future shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

"Actually, I've said it before. You shouldn't waste time here." Since Filia wasn't joking, there was no need for Murphy to use this method to make her feel better.

He shrugged at Filia and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's better for you to stay outside than to be tied up at home by that shrewd count."

“You shouldn’t be a poor canary in a cage, but an eagle flying in the sky.”

"Although I don't like what you said, but..." Filia seemed to want to say something, but as if she had accepted her fate, she finally sighed and did not refute. Instead, she acknowledged Murphy's statement: "Okay, you are right."

However, although Filia admitted this, Murphy knew that she actually had more to say, and it must be negative.

Sure enough, what Filia said the next second confirmed his thoughts.

Her eyes were serious and earnest, staring at Murphy without blinking: "I admit that what you said makes sense, but what can I do?"

"You're right. Wanting to do something and being able to do it are two different things. That's true, but..." Filia waved her hands in the air a few times, organizing her words briefly before continuing, "Does it mean that just because you 'want' to do something, you can definitely 'do' it?"

"Even if I want to leave here, break free and be free, and become an eagle soaring into the sky, is that possible?"

"What can I do? Let alone anything else, I even--" Filia said the entire paragraph in one breath as if she wanted to vent her emotions, but she suddenly stopped when she said this.

Filia's eyes still didn't leave, she looked at Murphy's face carefully.

Finally, she sighed again, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Murphy, I can't even beat you."

"Like I said before, I don't know why you have so much confidence in me, but the fact is, I'm no match for you."

"I'm completely inferior to you in what I'm most familiar with and best at. So what else can I do? Even if I really rebel against my father, I don't think I'll have much chance of success."

"What can I do alone? Even if you, who are stronger than me, are added, it's just 1+1=2."

"So I want to ask you this: just because you 'want' to do something, does that mean you can do it?"

Having said this, Filia finally stopped. She stopped talking and waited for Murphy's answer.

If she had been rather reserved before, she was now quite clear.

She told Murphy all the difficulties she had thought of that she would encounter in the future on the road to embracing freedom. Her only purpose was to make Murphy give up.

That's good, let's leave here and go to Candice. You won't be able to refute it anyway, right?

That’s right, after all, these are cruel facts.

Filia smiled bitterly in her heart.

But the next second, Murphy's reaction made her doubt whether she had seen it wrong. She even began to wonder if she was asleep and the conversations just now were just a dream.

Because, because.

After hearing what she said, Murphy was not embarrassed. Instead, he began to laugh... "arrogantly".

Filia closed and opened her eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out whether she was dazzled or not.

But it turned out that she was not dazzled, Murphy was indeed smiling now.

And unlike his previous smile, his smile seemed very arrogant.

No, it wasn't an arrogant smile, but rather...confidence.

But Filia didn't care about that. Looking at Murphy's current appearance, she even thought that Murphy might be a fool who couldn't understand what people said at all.

"What are you laughing at? Are you even listening to me? We can't do anything. Do you really understand?"

Perhaps feeling that this wasn't convincing enough, Filia added, "And have you ever thought about our future situation? Even if you rescue me, what will happen to us afterwards? What will happen to us?"

Although Filia spoke seriously, Murphy laughed even more happily after hearing her words.

His behavior made Filia even more anxious, and she even began to wonder whether her decision to let Murphy take care of Candice was right or not.

But Murphy didn't give her a chance to think too much. He kept smiling and said confidently, "Of course, Filia, of course I'm listening to what you say."

"And I can also tell you the answer to that question very clearly."

Chapter 93: Smiling mouth and light in eyes

"I can tell you the answer to that question very clearly."

"That's—sure."

The smile on Murphy's face made Filia feel dazed. Although it was late at night, looking at Murphy who said these words in a confident tone, she seemed to see a dazzling light.

Just like he had first appeared outside the bedroom window.

While Filia was still in a daze, Murphy continued, "Filia, I don't know about others, but I can tell you with certainty that if it were you..."

"Then, if you can think of it, you can definitely do it."

Filia opened her mouth, but looking at the extremely confident Murphy in front of her, the words of rebuttal that were on the tip of her tongue could not be uttered.

At the end, she just whispered, "Are you normal? Are you serious?"

"Of course, it can be done. It can definitely be done. There's no need to hesitate."

"...Why? You clearly have no basis for this."

"Why? The answer to this question is simple, and I am not without reason."

"because of you."

"—It's Filia Reinhardt."

Yes, of course you can.

Philia Reinhardt.

A dancer on the battlefield, a silver-haired swordswoman, a swordsman who surpasses his predecessors.

If you can't, who else can?

In an instant, Filia's eyes widened, and her gaze slowly overlapped with Murphy's.

Then, as if to laugh off her previous cowardice, a faint smile appeared on her face, but it seemed as if it was about to overflow.

"I understand, that's right, because I am Filia."

"I am Filia Reinhardt."

The figure now speaking with full confidence was exactly what the genius Murphy was familiar with—Filia Reinhardt—should look like.

She was no longer depressed, but had returned to her original self.

As for Murphy... Ever since Filia's outburst just now, the smile on his face has never faded. He feels that he has made a lot of money on this trip today.

Because he never thought that he would actually see Filia being defeated by him in swordsmanship.

This feeling, really, really is...how should I describe it?

This kind of feeling that makes people unable to stop.

Although it made things a little troublesome, it’s okay. Aren’t we back on track now?

Rather, she is in more trouble now.

Murphy withdrew his thoughts, looked at Filia again, and then sighed.

"If you just tease me, you will pay the price. I decide." Filia said this with a gentle smile.

It really is getting troublesome... Murphy sighed again.

"Of course not, my most honorable Miss Filia."

Filia's eyes curved with laughter at his words that sounded like a line from a storybook.

"So what are you going to do? Take me out now? What are the follow-up arrangements?"

Murphy didn't pay much attention to the long series of questions that Filia asked like a machine gun.

Because he was focused on something else—

'Come to think of it, I've never seen her smile like this before.' This was Murphy's thought.

But in Filia's eyes, his stunned look had another meaning.

"Hey, you didn't come here without thinking, did you?" Although Filia's words were hurried, there was no sense of uneasiness, but more of doubt.

She is now completely different from who she was just now.

Her words also made Murphy react.
