"Whose mission? Only the Surveillance Court in Kazimierz has law enforcement power. All I see is you all bullying innocent commoners by relying on your numbers!"
Margaret stared intently at the sky above, the golden light around her body flickering in and out, and the longsword in her hand was also covered in a golden glow.
During the charge just now, Margaret, relying on her knightly dynamic vision, analyzed the identities of the two factions above the room and in the alley.
Standing on the rooftop, the group of black-clad figures whose faces could not be seen, held dangerous bows and crossbows, and black arrows rained down.
The four people below were completely at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, almost in a passively beaten situation.
No matter what hidden circumstances there were, Margaret would not allow anyone to be harmed in front of her.
Therefore, she unhesitatingly stood in front of these four strangers.
"Don't worry, I will protect you all. Ladies, please protect this gentleman and Nona. There is still a long way to go from here to the densely populated area."
Turning her head, Margaret looked at the four people behind her with conviction, and even gave orders to Shining and Skadi.
In her opinion, the only people with combat power present were the petite white-haired Nona wielding a greatsword, and the black-robed woman with a magical Aura around her, who seemed to be supporting a shield.
As for the other two, the blonde Nona looked incredibly frail, seeming to have trouble even walking.
The other black-haired male, although holding a shield and tall, only carried a strange staff, and looked like he had no combat power.
Coupled with his pitch-black attire, which resembled an evening gown, Margaret thought for a few seconds and decided he might be from Victoria.
People there liked to dress like that, wear a tall top hat, and then stroll the streets with a cane—euphemistically called a "gentleman."
Although most people, especially the free Columbia, scoffed at this culture, Kazimierz and Victoria had few disputes.
So, subconsciously, Margaret regarded Goki as a foreign tourist, an ordinary person with no combat power.
And Margaret's valiant appearance indeed startled Goki beside her, in every sense of the word.
Of course, he knew this female superhero, or rather—he knew her too well.
Margaret Nearl was not just the rookie knight they had just seen on TV.
As the former Doctor, Goki naturally knew who Margaret was—the mainstay of Rhodes Island, his right-hand woman as the former Doctor.
However, before Goki could properly examine this old acquaintance, his gaze was drawn to a longsword in Margaret's hand.
It was a gleaming silver one-handed sword, its blade covered with delicate patterns, and under Margaret's Originium Arts, this sword was emitting a brilliant golden and bright glow.
In the Grand Knight Territory as night fell, this light was so dazzling.

"Holy—"
Goki's eyes widened suddenly, but he still didn't continue speaking.
And before her, above their heads, the group of archers whose identities were unknown, but who immediately took action after Goki shouted the name "Armorless Union," all put away their weapons.
"Tsk, meddling... We'll be watching you, Nightingale Nona—retreat!"
Complaining about the suddenly appearing female knight, these black-clad figures didn't entangle further. After a command from their leader, they quickly disappeared into the shadows.
They were very fast, and the entire process was silent. Goki almost instantly felt no gaze cast upon him.
And Goki could basically confirm their identity.
"Ah... th-thank you, Nona, for drawing your sword to help."
Although Goki knew that among the four present, except for the physically weak Nightingale, everyone had the ability to single-handedly defeat the pursuers above, since this knightly Nona drew her sword to help, he had no reason to refuse.
Now, Goki was no longer overly surprised by encountering these old acquaintances.
After successively encountering Shining and Nightingale, and then the knight in front of him, he had realized that, in the unseen, the destinies of these acquaintances were intertwined with his own.
In Yharnam, destiny was not some magical term, but a tangible thing that existed—which even the Great Ones could not manipulate.
"You're welcome, Sir. This is what a knight should do."
Seeing the enemies in front of her disperse, Margaret relaxed slightly, still vigilantly watching her surroundings.
The departure of these unknown figures made Margaret breathe a sigh of relief. She had never feared battle, but there was still a competition tomorrow, and once delayed, all her plans would be affected.
However, if those people dared to act, she wouldn't mind abandoning her previous efforts to save someone.
And before she could even put away her longsword, her body suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing towards her.
This was an exceptionally contradictory feeling. Margaret's body felt a threat close to death, but her combat awareness didn't detect any hostility.
"Woah—you are, you are that, Ma, what was it, from the previous competition, you're actually even stronger, right!"
And before Margaret could react, her hands, through her heavy gauntlets, were gently grasped by a pair of delicate hands. She subconsciously wanted to break free, but found that these slender little hands didn't tremble at all.
