However, unlike Wyverns, who are naturally strong but show no visible muscles, Kuranta people have no inherent strength advantage, which gave Margaret, a Knight with excellent physical strength, distinct muscle lines.
On her not-so-obvious but perfectly toned abdominal muscles, a drop of sweat gently slid down, tracing her young, fair skin, looking exceptionally fresh.
The current Margaret, compared to the Radiant Knight in the game, had less of the world-weariness and tempered resolve, but the light in her eyes was even more vibrant.
After all, this light, enough to illuminate the earth, had not yet truly shone upon the world.
"Of course, I also need to install some curtains in the rooms, otherwise it might disturb your training, wouldn't it?"
Raising an eyebrow at Margaret, Goki, of course, knew that there had been a small observer of the lovely scene this morning—and again, even if it was just a bug watching him, the Old Hunter would have noticed.
At these words, Margaret's expression immediately became quite animated, her large tail behind her wagging like a windmill, and her brilliant golden eyes darted to the side.
"I, I'm sorry, Mr. Goki, I didn't mean to peek at you and Nona Skadi!"
But in the end, shy as she was, Margaret honestly admitted her mistake—honesty was a Knight's virtue, and she never lied.
To her surprise, however, Goki showed no blame or complaint. Instead, he walked onto the lawn in front of her and examined the target, which still vaguely resembled a human.
"Alright, it's no big deal—you train with this kind of thing? Can you ensure effective training?"
Looking at the dilapidated target, Goki couldn't help but sigh—he knew Margaret's legendary journey, but he never expected that this current rookie Knight would, under such arduous conditions, gradually ascend to the champion's throne.
"Ah, this is a target Uncle Koval made for me. The Materials were chosen by myself, he's a great craftsman—I'm not unwilling to accept any help, but at least for this competition, I just want to join this grand event as a pure Knight."
Hearing that Goki didn't mind, Margaret breathed a sigh of relief, then scratched the back of her head somewhat sheepishly. She was a little embarrassed to show off her daily training.
"I never thought I could go very far. Although our Family is a Crusader Knight Family, there are also very excellent Tournament Knights. The two are just different in status, not superior or inferior."
The young Margaret was quite humble. Hearing Goki discuss her competition, she enthusiastically began to explain.
"I watched the recordings of the previous competition. There were many strong opponents, and Nona Black Knight's Spell was even more exquisite. I've just never been on a battlefield, only practiced combat theory with my Family and companions—I'd already be satisfied just to enter the main competition."
Seeing the future champion's humble expression, Goki couldn't help but grin.
"Ha—is that so? I think Nona Margaret, you might have a chance to challenge for the championship, provided you eat your meals properly."

But he knew that if he told Margaret this fact now, she would definitely take it as a joke—this surprise still needed her to create it herself.
"Then I thank you for your blessing, Mr. Goki. The championship is still too far for me. I'm participating in the Knight Tournament just to prove myself and to let everyone know that Knight Tournament will not diminish the existence of the Knight's spirit."
As she spoke, Margaret's expression became serious.
"Knight Tournament itself has too many conflicts. The current Knight Tournament has already become a drama manipulated by companies and consortiums. The victories of Knights can be easily covered up by the media, and the competition schedule and rules are arbitrarily altered by sponsors. They only treat Knights as cash cows, not as warriors—this is wrong!"
Her horse ears twitched, and Margaret reached out to pat the humanoid target, her gaze somewhat fixed.
"Many Knights are severely injured and withdraw from the competition due to conspiracies before the matches. Spectators can support Tournament Knights on-site with items by investing funds. In recent competitions, the Knight Tournament has become a pure arena for fame, fortune, and entertainment—Knights should not be treated this way."
Seemingly having found a rare listener, Margaret poured out her innermost thoughts like spilling beans.
"In the last competition, my aunt Zofia was—ah, have I said too much? Ac, actually, Knight Tournament is still very enjoyable to watch, and it's not all as bad as I made it sound! I'm just simply bored during the summer..."
