Four Split Personalities

That’s right, at this very moment, Motan, whose personality was in a state of ’Absolute Neutrality,’ indeed uttered the words ’want to show off a bit’. Although the volume was very low and somewhat mumbled, even the weakest presence there, Elisa Logan, heard it clearly. She then wore an enigmatic playful smile and hugged the boy in her arms a little tighter.

Black empathized deeply with Hei Fan, whose expression was rather conflicted, and almost rushed over to embrace him for a shared cry.

Yizou tilted her head in confusion, failing to grasp the meaning behind Hei Fan’s words. In her eyes, her senior had always been cool, with no need to deliberately show off.

As for Yu Chen...

She was initially stunned, then two faint blushes rose on her delicate face. She gently pinched the arm of someone in front of her and, with a voice that tried to sound fierce but ended up inexplicably adorable, grumbled sweetly, "You’re crazy!"

"No, being a lunatic fits the scene a bit more."

Motan smiled at the young girl, shrugged, and said, "Actually, the reason I agreed so readily was mostly because I figured there was no escape, so... well, I just went all in."

Yizou watched Hei Fan curiously and asked, "Senior is particularly unwilling to participate in that competition?"

"Not really."

Motan chuckled awkwardly, shook his head, and said, "If I truly didn’t want to go no matter what, I could probably refuse, albeit with some effort. It’s just that..."

"Hei Fan, you’re obviously the type that really hates trouble but still keeps encountering it."

Elisa laughed softly, then, while enthusiastically rubbing Black’s slightly blushing face, said without looking up, "But often, avoiding or hiding doesn’t solve problems. Unless you don’t live anymore, someone will always notice your talents."

Motan’s lips twitched awkwardly, and he said dryly, "You flatter me."

"Whether it’s flattery or not, Hei Fan, you surely know better than I do."

Elisa finally let go of the boy in her arms, who was nearly tortured to unconsciousness. She addressed Motan seriously, "However... over where we come from, most talented, capable, and gifted people find it hard to escape the stage. Those who aspire for a peaceful life certainly exist, but their endings are generally not very good."

Motan was slightly choked, and Yu Chen’s expression also turned serious.

Although this Second Princess from the Northwest Continent seemed approachable, humorous, and easygoing, no one, including Black, who was closest to Elisa, forgot her noble origins from the Griffin, one of the most powerful forces on the Northwest Continent, forged in iron and blood.

So, when she mentioned ’where we come from,’ even Yizou’s expression tensed up, though the simple female knight hadn’t fully grasped the situation.

But the others did.

At this moment, no longer interacting with everyone in the capacity of a ’friend,’ but resuming her stance as the ’Griffin Second Princess,’ Elisa Logan was about to offer some advice to the young priest named Hei Fan standing in front of her.

"I’m well aware, Hei Fan, that you’re a very capable person; otherwise, like Little Blake, you wouldn’t be participating in this exchange meeting as a trainee representative of the Holy Church Union. I also know you lack the conventional ’ambition.’ While not exactly reclusive, you keep a respectful distance from the stages most people long for, even viewing them as ’trouble.’"

Elisa elegantly crossed her legs, her beautiful eyes unwaveringly gazing at the ordinary-looking young man before her, and lightly laughed, "To be honest, this is a very precious quality. In a world where most people love to ’compete,’ someone like you who doesn’t ’compete’ is always more likable. But I hope you understand, a precious quality doesn’t necessarily equate to a good quality. In fact, from another perspective, it’s actually a form of—willfulness."

Not feeling he possessed any precious quality and fully aware of his own wilfulness, Motan nodded, expressing his complete agreement with the Princess’s words.

"In my view, words of praise like modesty and humility are set for those who aren’t qualified to be ’proud’ or ’arrogant.’ But Hei Fan, you’ve always had these rights."

Elisa raised her right hand, gently swaying her slender white index finger, and softly said, "From a macro perspective, Griffin’s intelligence network might not be as good as the Thief Guild or the Cloud Traveler Inn, but anything pertaining to war, it has extremely keen intuition. So your involvement in eradicating that plague is no secret to my Brother, nor to me, who seldom meddles in state affairs."

Motan smiled awkwardly again and waved his hand, saying, "I was merely lucky. Managing to eradicate that disaster was all due to everyone at that time..."

"If I were a superior closely tied to you, I absolutely wouldn’t care about what everyone did. My focus would only be on you, Hei Fan. ’Others’ are never the focus."

Elisa calmly interrupted Motan, her tone becoming more serious: "As your friend, as the Griffin Princess far away on the Southwestern Continent, of course, I can accept your previous luck-related remarks. But that’s because it’s hard for too many intersections and interests to arise between us. But then... what about others?"
