Jessica couldn't help but feel a little envious as she watched the woman in front of her wield the heavy sword with such ease.
If she had that kind of fighting ability, she could easily pin that man to the ground and beat him up.
It would be best to beat him into a pig's head.
Only then can she quell her anger.
Where is your servant?
She clearly saw a lot of people following behind her.
"They've all run away." Jessica gave a bitter smile. Only now did she realize that no matter how powerful others were, it was still theirs. It had little to do with her. When danger struck, she was the first person they abandoned.
Too humiliating, Jessica and her people hastily left the town.
Unfortunately, they encountered monsters and got caught up in them.
Jessica is a saintess, and the attack power of light magic is not high to begin with, not to mention that she is a healer.
Her holy light fell upon the magical beast, and although the beast dared not approach, she was unable to attack it.
One by one, those people fled.
Jessica thought she was going to die. Unexpectedly, she managed to kill the monster using her own abilities and survive.
"So that's how it is." Anman frowned. Although this woman wronged her brother, she hadn't actually caused him much harm. Besides, she hadn't done it on purpose. It's just that her final apology seemed a bit perfunctory.
But her friends went too far. They took the opportunity to escape when she wasn't paying attention, and this kind of betrayal was what she hated most.
Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for her.
It's definitely better to be alone. When you're alone, you don't have to worry about being betrayed.
Besides, she has her brother, who would never betray her.
Especially now that her brother has become a magician, he can fight alongside her.
Ning Hong then came over carrying some food.
"Have something to eat."
Seeing Ning Hong's completely unconcerned attitude, Jessica felt even more ashamed, her face turning bright red.
How others treated her, and how she treated them in return.
For a while, she began to doubt her previous parenting methods.
She stood up abruptly.
"I'm so sorry about what happened that day, I'm extremely sorry."
"Let bygones be bygones. I won't take it to heart, and you shouldn't either."
The more magnanimous Ning Hong was, the more uneasy Jessica became.
"I really feel sorry." She felt so ashamed just for apologizing, let alone him. She had pointed her finger at him and called him a thief.
If he weren't mentally challenged, most people would find it hard to accept. Wait, something doesn't seem right. Jessica blinked, remembering how he used to stutter and speak incoherently. How could he be so completely different in just a few days?
You seem different now.
“My brother is fully recovered,” Anman said with a smile. It was only because she was in a good mood that she had extra kindness.
"Wasn't your brother born that way?"
"Of course not. My brother hit his head while saving me back then, which is why he ended up like this. Now that the blood clot in his brain has been completely cleared, he has naturally returned to normal."
"That's really a good thing."
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's eat while it's hot."
"Wow, this is what I like! Eat up, brother's stewed potatoes are the best!" Anman smiled broadly. This was an unexpected delight; she never imagined that her brother would have such excellent cooking skills after regaining consciousness.
Every ingredient that reaches her brother's hands is always so delicious it makes people tremble.
“I think you seem a little different too,” Jessica said.
"That's because my brother got better!"
Having someone you can rely on means you don't need to pretend or make yourself invulnerable.
He can laugh, and he can cry while hugging his brother.
“I once had someone I could rely on.” Jessica’s smile grew increasingly bitter. “Unfortunately, this person completely betrayed me and got together with someone else.” From childhood to adulthood, she had always been with Judy. To her, Judy was not just a lover, but family; she cared deeply for him. Unfortunately, he didn’t care about any of that.
"——"
"What saddens me the most is that this person is my competitor."
She always felt that competition didn't equate to hatred; they could improve each other through competition and become friends. But Leah didn't see it that way; she always considered herself an enemy.
She always felt that it was because of her that she was unable to be elected as the saintess.
However, her idea is correct.
If she were there, Leah probably would never have been chosen as a saintess. Not for any other reason, but because her light magic was purer than Leah's.
Unable to defeat her with magic, I could only resort to some underhanded tactics.
"You mean your knight has been seduced by other women?"
"That's part of it! Not only that, he also conspired with that woman to harm me," Jessica said through gritted teeth. She was probably more bothered by this than by Judy being with Leah.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much about it. You weren't hurt at all. It's just a job. It's a good thing that you were able to see this man's true colors as soon as possible."
Seeing Jessica looking at her with a puzzled expression, Amman smiled.
"Although you seem to have lost a lot, you've also gained a lot. For example, you've learned what betrayal is, what ruthlessness is, what it means to be..."
“You bitch,” Jessica interrupted.
The two girls looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Men's friendships often come about unexpectedly, and so do women's friendships; they often find themselves drawn to each other by seemingly inexplicable reasons.
For example, right now.
The friendship between the two girls developed inexplicably. Just a few days ago, they were fighting, but now they're hugging each other tightly.
"Your brother's cooking is really good. I've never eaten anything so delicious before."
"That means my brother's skills have improved ever since he recovered from his mental disability."
"Hahaha--"
Ning Hong stood outside the door with a helpless expression.
A woman I can't understand.
However, it's a good thing that his sister is able to get along with the female lead.
At least, with the female lead's protagonist aura, his sister probably won't encounter any bad things.
The next day, Amman walked over with swollen eyes and a cheerful expression.
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you."
"you say."
"Let's keep Jessica here!"
"I have no objection to this, but shouldn't you ask Jessica what she thinks? Maybe she has other ideas!"
In his memory, Jessica later inherited the position of saint, and he didn't think Jessica would want to stay in this small town.
