But it was embarrassing to say, although she was called his wife, Goki had never upgraded Zofia—there was no help for it, even with module enhancements, the Minos's big horned cow sister was still easier to use.
He wasn't a Doctor who only cared about strength, but he really couldn't bear to use Originium as stamina!
Although Margaret called her Aunt, Zofia actually belonged to a branch Family of the Nearl Family, and their ages were quite similar.
In modern society, the ancient Knight Family system no longer held much meaning, and branch families were not subordinate to the main Family as they once were, but Zofia still got along very well with her younger sister from the Nearl Family.
Zofia was the first Knight in the Nearl lineage to abandon the Crusader Knight tradition and participate in the Knight Tournament.
"Ha... if all the Knight Family descendants I know had half your temperament, Margaret, Kazimierz wouldn't be in this wretched state—no!"
Suddenly, this equally young female Knight thought of something, and her gaze towards Margaret instantly sharpened.
The next second, with agile and swift steps, her slender, beautiful legs, encased in black stockings and high heels, instantly covered two meters. This young woman, whom Margaret called Aunt, rushed directly in front of her, extended a slender hand, grabbed her fluffy horse ears, and gently tugged them outwards.
Clearly, the right ear was pulled harder than the left.
"I remember telling you many times, in front of outsiders, you should call me—Sister, Sister Zofia, understand?"
Under her pressure, within a few seconds, Margaret obediently raised her hands in surrender, her expression particularly awkward, and her resolute face slightly flushed.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zofia! Mr. Goki is still here!"
It was only at her niece's reminder that Zofia finally remembered the man who had been standing beside Margaret when she rushed into the courtyard.
"Ah... I forgot to ask. You said you wanted to uphold the honor of the Nearl Family—casually bringing other men into your home, once the Old Man finds out, with his doting affection for you as his granddaughter, he'll personally grab a spear and horse to stab people."
Embracing Margaret from behind, Zofia looked up at the tall man in the trench coat in front of her and said, half-jokingly.
"Although you're almost of age, you need to keep your eyes wide open when looking for a boyfriend, don't be deceived by men with ulterior motives—how about it, introduce me to your little boyfriend?"
Of course, Zofia was actually quite relieved. She knew all too well that her niece's head was even tougher than Knight heavy armor.
This super straight girl, who treated a high school classmate's love letter as a challenge, fully armed herself and went behind the school to beat him up, had zero experience with emotional matters.
To expect her to bring a man home to solve the Nearl Family's succession problem was less likely than expecting this young Knight, participating in her first tournament and her first real fight, to win the championship outright.
""It's impossible, impossible—oh, he's quite handsome."
Zofia looked at Goki's appearance, then at the white-haired woman with white horns who had also participated in the healing, and speculated about her identity.
"What are you talking about, Au—Sister Zofia! They are all my guests, they just moved here last night."
Hearing Zofia's words, Margaret felt that being held was a bit embarrassing. Like a child who didn't want to be hugged in front of outsiders, she gently broke free from Zofia's embrace and began to introduce her guests.
"Look, I provide accommodation, they helped me take care of the lawn, and tidied up the house, even breakfast was prepared by Goki—he also helped me out of a difficult situation just now."
