After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

But now, because of the fool Leah's reckless behavior, the whole world is almost knowing that Aize has left the team. If I don't work harder to bring him back, I will be in big trouble.

Originally, I followed Leah to the lord's mansion just to get her away quickly.

I didn't expect to run into Aize. This is really great news.

With Leah's stubborn personality, she would definitely speak nonsense to Aize or even make physical advances.

If I just take the opportunity to protect him, wouldn't that greatly increase his favorability?

With this thought in mind, she ignored Leah's death stare and turned to Aize, bowing slightly.

"I've been missing one day. Yesterday... I was too excited about what happened yesterday. I'm sorry... I'm really sorry!"

In front of Leah, Villian, and a group of knights including Constantine, Heidi's body trembled slightly, and her voice was mixed with intermittent sobs.

"Engagement...our engagement that's been going on for two years. Really...are you really going to cancel it? Are you serious? Can you...think about it...again?"

From the perspective of an uninformed bystander, this is simply the poor girlfriend trying to win back her scumbag fiancé.

Heidi did this on purpose. While pretending to be pitiful, she also wanted to put Aize on the fire.

After all, there are so many people watching, right?

That's enough. Why are you being so picky? Can't you just give in to the woman?

And Aize understood all these thoughts clearly.

If it were yesterday, he would probably have rejected it directly without any mercy, wanting to get things done cleanly and for the better for everyone.

However, after experiencing the kidnapping incident last night that almost broke out, Aize changed his mind.

If you are not decent, then there is no need for me to be decent for you.

After deciding to increase Heidi's strength, Aize thought for a moment and put on a hesitant expression.

"About that...engagement, I'm still...thinking about what to do. Yesterday...I was a little too impulsive, I'm sorry..."

After saying that, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

This attitude was beyond Heidi's expectations.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she was so happy that her eyes were shining.

- See, I was saying that his so-called breaking off of the engagement yesterday was really just to scare me. In reality, he still cares about me and still loves me to bits!

He even didn't mention the kidnapping incident last night, which he was most worried about.

Didn't you doubt yourself?

Or did that adventurer actually manage to hold on and not summon himself?

Or maybe they simply didn't work and just ran away!?

No, it doesn't matter anymore!

The important thing is, there is still drama on Aize's side! And it's a big drama!

If it weren't for that damned Leah's mischief, maybe if I waited another day, he would have come to my house in tears. Why would I embarrass myself in front of so many people?

Heidi suppressed the urge to laugh, pretended to be cautious, and asked:

"So... does the cancellation of the engagement mean nothing?"

Aize hesitated, shook his head, then nodded, his face full of sorrow and confusion:

"I do not know either."

"...I don't know? What do you mean?"

As if the question touched a sore spot, Aize turned his eyes away with a bit of disappointment, and said in a voice so low that only Heidi and Violet beside him could hear:

"I... have never quite understood what I am. Even though I signed a marriage contract with you based on my status as a hero, I still have doubts about whether I am worthy of you."

"I was seriously injured this time, and at one point I even lost my only Hero's Divine Protection... At that time, I was really scared. I was afraid that I would really become useless and that no one would want me anymore."

"Even though it turned out to be a false alarm and the Hero's Divine Protection was intact...but after the fear, I felt empty and didn't know what to do anymore...so—"

He raised his head and looked at Heidi with seemingly sincere eyes.

"I need some time to think clearly about myself and your affairs. Only then can I answer your question... Can you wait for me for a while?"

"Of course! Of course! I'll wait as long as it takes!"

Heidi was in ecstasy, thinking that everything was under control. She had no doubt that there was something wrong. She kept nodding her head and couldn't help but smile.

Leah, who was inexplicably left aside and had no idea what was going on, had some complaints.

"Hey, what kind of melodrama are you guys putting on there? Do you think I'm fake?"

She dismounted and held Heidi's shoulders.

"Heidi, what nonsense are you talking about!? It was fine before, but now this loser is neither a hero nor a noble, nothing at all, and you still want to keep this engagement? You're really disgracing the God-chosen Hero..."

"I won't let you say that about him!"

Heidi seemed to be energized. She changed her usual style of not offending either side and directly interrupted Leah's speech with a shout.

Chapter 57: This is a strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf

Villian, who had witnessed everything from the sidelines and knew the whole story, had now turned around and started covering her mouth to hold back her laughter.

Giving some hope and some vague responses without making any clear commitments is simply keeping the other party hanging.

Isn't this the classic operation of a green tea girl raising a licking dog?

It's a tooth for a tooth.

Leah, who didn't understand the reason, was a little confused by Heidi's sudden shout.

She stared blankly at Heidi standing next to Aize, holding her head high and saying righteously:

"Aize is excellent and has noble character. That's enough. Does status really matter?!"

Even Leah was speechless after hearing this.

Heidi, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Identity is not important?

Maybe.

But why does it sound so funny when these words come from a person who always talks about the princess and the royal family?

"Do you... have a fever? Or are there any aftereffects from the previous battle?!"

Out of concern for her teammates, Leah moved closer and tried to touch Heidi's forehead, but was pushed away by the latter.

"Don't touch me! I don't have a fever! These are all my sincere words, Leah Alfred. I have always tolerated you before, but this time, you have gone too far with Aize!"

Leah became increasingly speechless.

Is it too much?

Maybe maybe 80% is a bit too much.

But compared to before?

joke.

I've said so many nasty things in the past, why didn't she speak out then, and why is she still going crazy now?!

Or he acted crazy in front of a bunch of subordinates.

How can I, the captain of the brave team, save my dignity? How can I lead the team in the future?

Leah was no longer willing to tolerate it and started to raise her voice:

"Excessive? What's excessive? Is there anything wrong with what I said? The goddess gave us a second life and protected us so that we could defeat the demons and save humanity!"

"Look at what this idiot has done to the goddess's protection!? Such a serious dereliction of duty is unforgivable, and you're still protecting him!?"

Heidi, who was criticized so fiercely, gradually got angry.

"Goddess, goddess, what else do you know besides goddess!? If you're talking about goddess, then Aize was chosen by the goddess, so why should you be picky?!"

At the beginning, I argued with Leah in order to win Aze's favor so that he would figure it out as soon as possible and come back.

But Leia's annoying attitude has changed the nature of the matter.

Now, the problem has escalated from Aize to Heidi's dignity as a princess.

If I can't win this argument, where will I, a princess, put my face?

So she also raised the volume.

"Aize's Divine Protection has been fully restored. Your claim of wasting the Goddess's Divine Protection is just your own unfounded accusation. You're driving someone away because of your own misjudgment. Who is truly unforgivable?!"

"That's because the goddess's blessing is powerful enough. What does it have to do with this loser?!"

As the two of them were arguing, Villian quietly approached and asked in a low voice:

"Are you...doing this on purpose?"

"It's just a trick to drive the tiger to devour the wolf. It's no big deal. Well, I didn't expect it to work so well."

Previously, when meeting with Constantine, Aize learned about the current situation, that is, the news of his departure from the team had spread.

At that moment he concluded that Heidi must be very anxious about the situation and would be eager to take him back.

This impatience may even cause her behavior to reach a level she has never experienced before.

Therefore, as long as you pretend to give her a hint or a little hope, she will definitely start to act very actively even without considering the consequences.

This way, at least for the next period of time, he could order her around at will.

Squeezing out the surplus value and then throwing it away after use is Aize's small revenge for the kidnapping.

As he spoke, Aize cleared his throat and stepped forward to pat Heidi's shoulder.

After she turned around and looked at herself, she put on a lost and uncomfortable expression and said:

"Heidi, stop talking. It's okay."

"……what?"

"I'm used to being scolded. Leah is doing this for my own good. She doesn't really have any opinion about me. After all, I'm too weak. There's nothing I can do."

This set of operations made Villian start to feel scared.

Is there a possibility, just a possibility, that Aize's hidden green tea index is actually the highest among everyone present?

Aize's performance continues.

He gave a tired, bitter smile and shook his head.

"I'm really happy that you're protecting me like this, but I'm no longer a member of the team, and you have to go on anyway. Don't fight over me, okay? It's not worth it."

Afraid that she would not die, after giving her an additional dose of motivational cheering, Heidi, who was already somewhat unable to tell the directions, was completely excited.

She pointed at Aize and then at Leah.

"Look at him, look at him. Can't you learn to be humble and modest like Aize? He's always talking about other heroes. When have you ever seen him mention the title of hero?!"

Leah was furious.

After all, she couldn't really argue more than Heidi, and she wasn't really right either.

But is reasoning important?

Just make it loud enough!

Just be strong enough!

So, she put her hands on her hips, took advantage of her height, and pressed forward, shouting at Heidi from above:

"That means he's not sincere! And you! Heidi Yalter! Don't go too far! So what if I'm the princess? I'm the goddess's number one warrior. I kicked you out if I said so!!"

"Okay, come and try if you're brave enough! Believe it or not, I followed Aize back then!?"

……

……

"Is there anything else in that head of yours besides muscles?! Do you even remember how you died in your last life?! Have you really not learned from your mistakes?"

"You're the one who was reincarnated as a hero after being pricked like a hedgehog, so what are you saying about me? If you nobles of this world weren't useless, why would the goddess need to send another hero here?!"
