The Story of a Cute Elf Girl
Chapter 60

A few days after I managed to become a knight candidate an incident occurred. At first I only intended to train for a while, but my arrival instead attracted the attention of others .yaps they are people who envy me for successfully becoming a knight candidate. Ah~.for those who do not know the knight candidates I mean here are not ordinary knights as I have always seen but knights to work in the empire, being chosen as a knight candidate was already a great pride because honestly it is not easy to get the title, I have to fight to beat hundreds of competitors to get to this position. and of course for those who are not accepted especially those who have a better education than me will feel envious and unfair.

And actually I don't care about any of that because I got this far thanks to my own efforts. Just a little more I can achieve my dreams where I have time to overcome their envy..

But I didn't imagine this would happen.

''yo.. I heard that you were chosen as a knight candidate huh'' said someone who honestly did not want me to respond.

''woi!..don't ignore us!''

''what is your business with me?. Don't you see I'm busy?''I returned while looking at him coldly

''cih.so proud of you this. defiantly become a knight candidate''

''why am I arrogant?. Is this a position I can be proud of, but you guys?. What can you be proud of to talk like that?''my reply made the wrinkles on their faces become –so

'' don't be arrogant just yet you are!, you commoner!'' exclaimed one of them and tried to attack me of course I immediately put up a challenge but...

'' stop it...do you want to find this new star?'' his friend said he walked up to me and when he did that I knew bad things would happen if I wasn't careful

'' do you think such commoners can become knights?.hmph..do not be too confident huh.'' he continued while looking at me with a condescending look.

He suddenly took my sword of course I was surprised by what he did .

''What do you want to do ...?" my many.

"Destroying your arrogance" he replied..

Jem! ''aaaakh!!!!'' without warning he stabbed himself and shouted as if –akan I did that, his friend who understood what he was planning also helped him and blamed me . of course this caught the attention of people around and in just an instant everyone immediately gathered and looked at me sharply. As if –I would have done it. I tried to defend myself but what power. Will anyone listen to me? Till...

''harry!'' so panicked she unconsciously went to him and hoped he would help me as he had helped me all along.

''harry you believe me, right?'' I asked while holding his hand but he instead brushed it off and looked at me like everyone else did.

And that very second my heart was breaking.the person I thought would believe me in the end was the same...

''hmph...really too..where might you believe yes.'' I muttered with a thin smile.

''I'm like a fool here where anyone believes me.'' Call me and run away.

I really like a fool..Why do I even expect something else?.I think I can trust someone again after a long time but finally he made no difference. He fooled me, he played me. For the one time my heart was broken.

''you really make me like a harry fool'' I muttered as I tried hard to hold back my tears from falling

Fate really played me. No matter how hard I try to get up in the end destiny takes me down ruthlessly.

After the rumor that I injured the knight spread, my position as a knight candidate was revoked. The dream that I thought would soon be realized is actually getting further and further away. The man I thought I could trust actually betrayed me

''ah~...I want to laugh with my destiny'' I said while sitting on the edge of a quiet lake

'' sorry leon but you have to stay alive ..''

I tried it, ma'am, I did everything I could. But in the end it all failed...

I'm tired ma'am.... Until when should I keep trying?.when can I stop?.the world is always trying to bring me down...

Mom told me to fight for life and I struggled but now I'm tired of all this ...

I left because I was tired, right?. Then can I do the same as you do?...

I lyricized around me and found a broken glass bottle near me I took the fragment and intended to end it all...

To the end I have never been grateful for my life.I curse this fate...

''shit...until the end I remain a useless person?'' I muttered and then pointed the broken glass at my neck. I slowly closed my eyes and let my tears flow for the last time before this was all over. The scythe god of death seemed to be right around my neck and once I had made my determination....

''is your life worthless?''ask someone who immediately stopped me . with a surprised look I turned to him

A man with thick black hair and eyes so dark as the night sky stood up with a small smile.

''then''' ''of your life wasted how about you just give me that life?''ask him while holding my hand holding the fragment

''who are you?'' ''me?...hmph....my name is leandro de everon, future duke'''' he replied as he extended his hand to me

''I've seen your talent during the knight's preliminary, and I'm interested in you. If you don't mind, instead of dying like this how about you just die for me?. I'll make you my best knight''' he explained with a smile

''and again, this is also a request from someone, I feel bad if you die like this.

At first I was hesitant about what he said.all of his words were like sweet candy to me. It makes me hope again. Although I know it's possible this will end the same but.... Even so again I want to believe, because in the depths of my heart I also do not want to end like this. I want to live at least to prove to the world that I can...

In the end I accepted his offer and sure enough after Leandro became the successor to the legitimate duke he immediately appointed me as the head of the white lion army that has high dignity.and I do not know how the story but Harry he also works here as an accomplice.

Well ... although my relationship with Harry never improved after that day, even then I was quite satisfied with what I had now...I try to look ahead and forget the gloomy past until...

One day I met her, the little violet-haired girl who made those bad memories reappear, the little girl who had the same taste as me , he even wanted to take the same ending as me.

Looking at that girl, I was like looking at myself in the past, so pitiful and painful...

And I don't want to see that girl choose the path I almost chose.I'm slowly trying to reach out to her just like the duke master did to me. And hope that his lost smile can reappear someday...

***

''Please miss.ini the cake, just ripe from the grill'' I said as I placed the cake on the table

''ahaha.leon speaks like a chef only'' he laughed.

''thank you leon.leon also try it.'' he continued, offering the cake to me with a sweet smile.

''thank you, lady, then I gladly accept, '' my reply while accepting the gift

After that, the lady immediately devoured the cake. The smile that was lost has now returned and seeing that my chest feels warm...

I used to curse my life and never give thanks for it but now...

After meeting the lord duke and experiencing and getting many things to be able to meet the lady, I think for the first time in my life I can say clearly that I am grateful to be alive to this very moment.
