However, Zofia still had a championship dream. She placed her hopes on her juniors—using all the money she had earned as a Tournament Knight, she began to seriously learn investment techniques.
Fortunately, Zofia was quite talented, and soon she had a respectable amount of wealth, enough for a comfortable life for the rest of her days.
However, Zofia did not intend to waste her life on a mountain of gold and silver.
Upon hearing that Margaret was going to become a Tournament Knight, Zofia immediately felt that her unfulfilled tournament goal might have an heir. So she enthusiastically approached Margaret, hoping to serve as her coach and simultaneously sponsor her participation in the competition, preventing those scoundrel companies from earning a single cent.
But unexpectedly, Margaret was even more determined. She refused all help from her Family, insisting on participating in the tournament alone.
Of course, Zofia had experienced the stubbornness of the Nearl Family, so she didn't intend to force help, only occasionally coming to see Margaret.
But who knew, Margaret immediately turned around and found this so-called "coach." This was clearly treating her, her Aunt—her older sister—as an outsider!
So, Zofia didn't hesitate and immediately issued a challenge—
And then… she was here.
"What is wrong with all of you? Who is this strongwoman!"
Slamming the table, Zofia glared at Goki with an aggressive Aura, but upon seeing Skadi furiously eating next to her, her ears on top of her head drooped.
In the duel just now, she hadn't even had time to crack her whip before being directly punched in the forehead by this young man—the Aura in that instant almost made her think she was going to die! So terrifying!
"My apologies, Miss Zofia. Skadi has been very careful to control her strength—I am not a coach, merely a traveler temporarily staying here. We should thank Miss Margaret for her generosity."
Goki directly clarified his identity, not wanting to create unnecessary animosity between the Aunt and niece.
"Yes, Mr. Goki and his companions were chased and attacked by a group of unidentified individuals. I swore to protect them—don't even think about taking them to your villa, Aunt Zofia. It's not as safe there as it is here."
Margaret anticipated what her Aunt would do and spoke first, directly stifling Zofia's "my house is quite big" comment.
"Ha… you little rascal, never mind. If you weren't like this, you wouldn't be you—if it's these people, maybe they really can teach you something."
Sighing softly, Zofia knew her niece's personality and understood that no amount of persuasion would move the stubbornness of the Nearl Family. She could only agree to her taking in strangers.
After all, if that white-haired girl could knock her out with one punch, if they really wanted to do something to Margaret, her niece probably wouldn't be able to resist.
Moreover, looking at the smile on Goki's face, Zofia knew that this guy was definitely not to be trifled with either.
Thinking this, Zofia decided to throw caution to the wind, no longer reserved. She picked up a spoon and took a sip of the hot porridge Goki had given her.
"…However, I will come to see you every day to prevent you from being deceived by bad men, and also to help the old man keep an eye on things."
After savoring it for two seconds, Zofia picked up the bowl and gulped it down.
"Aunt, you just want to freeload, don't you—then remember to buy groceries."
Seeing through Zofia's true intentions at a glance, Margaret sighed but did not refuse, and even sped up her eating.
"No, I'm not—I'm worried about you, you little dummy! And call me older sister!"
Watching the Aunt and niece bickering and their enthusiastic eating speed, Goki nodded in satisfaction.
He knew that such interesting days would continue for a long time.
However… no matter how happy daily life was, there was still an unfinished hunt awaiting him.
So, he paused and asked the Aunt and niece:
"You two are both Knights, and you probably know a lot about Kazimierz. I want to ask… have you heard of an organization called the Unification Sect?"
