Chapter 2118 - 1070: Return of the Dragon King (Part 2)
"Tsk, I think I really have been led astray by the young lady, clearly, I wasn’t like this before, and now I’m almost becoming a Family Knight."
Sophia kept a smile on her face, waving to the surrounding audience in gratitude for their applause, while silently mocking herself.
At this moment, the host cast an Amplification Magic towards her, then asked her.
"Now it’s time for the champion’s speech, Miss Sophia, do you have anything to say before the award ceremony begins?"
In response, Sophia was not reserved, or rather she participated in this magic duel tournament just for this moment.
So, the Pure White Witch faced the audience and the cameras with a calm demeanor, her golden eyes seemed to transcend space and time, locking gaze with someone. Then, a smile appeared on her pretty face.
"I only have one thing to say."
"Happy birthday, young lady."
The Pure White Witch said.
Ever since a little meeting was held by the sisters a few days ago about what birthday gift to give to the young lady, Sophia had been worried for a long time.
Having never celebrated a birthday herself, she really didn’t know what kind of gift would be suitable.
She thought about making a handmade cake like Audrey, but considering the young lady’s culinary skills, she decisively abandoned this idea.
She also considered making a magic notebook like Madeline, but she had already taught the young lady everything she knew about the Power of Faith without holding back.
She even seriously considered the teacher’s suggestion of preparing a big gift box, then crawling inside and presenting herself as a gift.
But she had already lost herself to the young lady during the gamble at the Witch’s Night, she was already the young lady’s, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to gift herself again.
In the end, after much thought, this was the only thing she could think of to do.
This much-coveted championship honor, which used to be her sole life pursuit, was now something she was willing to share with the young lady.
As for her future...
Even though the young lady was an exception to Fate, Sophia knew without needing to observe that her own future was already tightly bound with the young lady’s, and nobody could separate them.
As soon as she said those words, the audience fell into a stunned silence, followed by even more enthusiastic cheers and shouts.
"Ohhhh, I knew it, there’s something going on between Miss Sophia and the young lady."
"Bah, how can you say that, this is true love, dammit."
"How romantic, winning the world championship just to offer a birthday wish. If someone would do that for me, I’d marry them immediately."
"Calm down, the world champion wouldn’t be interested in you, beauties are only meant for the strong."
"Ahem, so the question arises, is the young lady a beauty or a strong figure?"
"She’s definitely a beauty. The young lady recently changed her look and showed her face, she’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life."
"Anyway, together, together..."
"Huh, is today really the young lady’s birthday? Happy birthday, young lady."
"Happy birthday, young lady."
"Damn, the young lady didn’t even participate in the match, why do I feel like she’s going to be the headline today again?"
.....
This round of cheering and shouting was undoubtedly more sincere, confirming that all glory is false, only gossip and drama remain eternal.
Meanwhile, in the VIP box, Dorothy blushed.
She quietly turned her head, avoiding Sophia’s gaze below.
Even though the glass walls of the VIP box were one-way transparent and no one outside should be able to see in, the Homebody Witch couldn’t shake the feeling that the Housekeeper Witch was looking at her.
That person, after all, possessed a Jade Level Eye of Fate, making it easy to see through things, who knows, she might really be able to see her.
Hmph, even Madeline and Senior Mia didn’t expect me to sneak over to watch the match, but still, you can’t hide anything from Sophia?
Dorothy thought somewhat regretfully.
She was actually hoping to see if Sophia would be surprised to find her watching the match, but it seems she couldn’t keep herself hidden.
Damn, you’re supposed to be a destiny insulator, show some resistance, why are you so easily seen through!
The Homebody Witch thought unhappily.
This makes it seem like Sophia can understand her perfectly even without cheating with the Eye of Fate, doesn’t she care about her reputation?
Moreover, suddenly giving a birthday wish in front of so many people is so awkward, I really can’t understand you social butterflies, I’m having a social anxiety attack here, okay?
Listening to the cheers outside suddenly shift from "Sophia is the champion" to "Happy birthday, young lady", Dorothy folded her arms, rubbing the goosebumps on them.
This is not the birthday gift she wanted.
She was hoping the Housekeeper Witch would wear a maid outfit and climb into a gift box, presenting herself as a gift.
Mmm, now that would be just right.
Damn...
Dorothy felt quite dismissive in her heart, only.....
"Sister, I know you’re happy, but at least restrain your smile a little."
Her good little sister Alice in her arms looked up and said.
The Homebody Witch: "....."
Ridiculous, how could this silly little sister not understand that people also smile when they are awkward, I’m using a smile to hide my embarrassment!
She gave this silly sister a playful flick on the forehead.
Anyway, this little one’s brain is just for show, I’ll flick, flick, flick.....
As everyone indulged in this happy atmosphere of gossip and ’shipping’, the award ceremony was also about to begin.
Sophia, Wendy, and Mia all walked onto the award platform in the center of the arena together,
But just as the host was about to present the gold, silver, and bronze medals to the three, everyone suddenly froze.
Because a figure had somehow suddenly appeared on the arena, and she too was cheering and clapping, shouting "Happy birthday, young lady."
It was an extraordinarily tall figure, her face stunningly beautiful, her demeanor majestic, yet her voluptuous figure was barely concealed by a heavy Knight’s Combat Robe.
Nobody knew when she had arrived on the award platform, but her appearance felt natural, as if she had always been standing there and had simply gone unnoticed before.
When she didn’t want to be noticed, everyone overlooked her, but when she did, she became the absolute star of the world.
This effect was even more domineering than the protagonist’s form Sophia had after being crowned with the Crown of Fate, beyond what any blessed Child of Destiny could describe.
She was the sovereign of the world, and the world should revolve around her and all beings should obey her will.
"Beautiful ladies, may I have the honor of awarding you?"
This knight-dressed witch naturally stepped in front of the podium, displaying a smile as she asked the trio.
Her smile was like sunlight, warm and charming, incredibly contagious, making everyone feel as if it was noon although it was midnight.
However, the three on stage were already dumbfounded, even as the top figures among the younger generation of the Witch World, who had seen the big time, the trio was still left speechless in astonishment.
In fact, they were already doing well compared to the host, Miss.
Miss Host was no weakling; she was a bona fide Peak Witch, but at this moment, her long legs clad in black stockings had already gone limp, and it was only an invisible force that prevented her from collapsing into a prostrate position.
But the joke was not just on Miss Host, in fact, all the audience, no, all the witch viewers worldwide watching the magic duel were having a bit of a soft knees moment.
Even the always composed Sages were temporarily losing their poise with startled expressions.
After all, when myth enters reality, who can remain calm?
This Lady Knight’s image should be familiar to everyone in the Witch World; after all, she’s in the textbooks.
Moreover, this magic duel tournament was held in her name.
Her name, Nidhogg.
Yet, nobody expected that there would actually be a Dragon King at the Dragon King Cup.
The Witch King, who had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, unexpectedly reappeared so suddenly?
And it was just to award some little witches?
For a moment, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
.....Nidhogg entered the scene.....
