"Surprised?" Roy thought to himself, it was simply extremely surprising.

In Roy's mind, the pitiful memory of the world left behind by this woman named Rose occupied a large part of it. From her arrival at the border of the empire and starting the airship industry, to today's climate, this woman named Rose worked tirelessly like a spinning top all day long. Her beautiful appearance and strong style gave her a unique charm, and every time the airship landed, she always received a lot of flowers and invitations. Even now, in Roy's dormitory, there are countless invitations from Lord XXX to pay homage to the clouds. Of course, these things are the most commonly used. Being taken by the crew to start a fire or to cushion their own uneven floors.

Rose devoted almost all her energy to the operation of the airship, with the only exception being the almost daily visit to the watchtower to see Roy.

A woman who strives for the future with twelve percent of her efforts.

Now! But you want to seek death?

No matter who is holding the flying scroll in Philip's hand just now, as long as he is not a pig, his chances of survival will greatly increase. Moreover, based on Rose's current experience and network, as long as she can survive, it is not difficult to restore her old ways.

From Philip's words just now, although the reason is not clear, Roy can vaguely guess that the relationship between Rose and his father should be very tense.

But no matter how Roy looks at the woman in front of him, it's impossible for her to have the same thoughts as a rebellious little girl during adolescence. If she doesn't get along with her family, she shouldn't just seek short-sighted opportunities!

The fact that blood is thicker than water is difficult to change.

Roy's heart is dead, and there is another reason that Roy himself doesn't want to remember, which is his parents.

Roy worked hard in the old world for many years until he was almost thirty years old when he finally got a stable and generous job and prepared to get married. During that difficult period, his parents gave Roy unlimited tolerance and support, and he still had to worry so much about his own age. Roy's heart was full of guilt. Now, Roy doesn't want to think about the scene where his parents found out that his son, who was still good yesterday, passed away overnight. That pain was unbearable for Roy.

Rose curled up her legs and leaned against the huge wooden barrel with her hands clasped around her knees, making her look as weak as ever before.

"Do you remember my sister?"

A word pulled Roy back from the deep pain. Roy didn't hear what Rose had said at all, and didn't know how to answer. Rose didn't seem to expect a response, and she just continued speaking on her own.

"My older sister is two years older than me. When my mother is not around, she takes care of me."

Rose buried her head between her knees, her long hair hanging on both sides of her legs, occasionally blown up by the strong wind, revealing her somewhat dazed eyes.

Roy sighed and said, "It seems like he's also a pitiful person with a sad past.".

Roy also leaned against the edge of the wooden barrel, tilting his body slightly, letting Rose gently lean against him. Rose's soft body stiffened slightly, and then relaxed again.

"My sister later married a wealthy businessman."

In the dark night, on the deck with the howling wind, the girl murmured softly. The rapid roar outside the airship did not break the small tranquility between the two.

"On the day my sister got married, she smiled happily and said that soon I would also put on her beautiful clothes and be picked up by my crush."

"Actually, I know that the wealthy businessman is not her true love at all. My sister and the wealthy businessman have only met once, and it was when the wealthy businessman came to talk to her father about a business that he accidentally met."

"One day, I begged Philip to secretly take me out to play. I came back very late and as I passed by my father's study, I heard my sister's low cries and my father's roar coming from inside."

"Shortly thereafter, my sister got engaged and was soon taken to the wealthy businessman's house to get married."

"But in less than a month, my sister suddenly returned home alone one day. At that time, her face was haggard, her eyes were full of fear, and she seemed to have grown old by an unknown amount."

"Sister ran back secretly with scars all over her body."

"That beast!" Suddenly, Rose's floating voice was filled with deep-seated hatred.

"My sister has a weak personality and always accepts everything. I don't know how that beast tormented her, which led her to make such an outrageous act of sneaking back alone. My father didn't ask for any reason and was furious about it. He scolded my sister for not being successful enough and having more than enough to fail, losing the face of the family. The next day, someone sent her back. When she left, she even cried and fainted." Rose's voice trembled slightly, and tears flickered in her eyes.

"Haha! 'Insufficient success, more failure!' This is a father's evaluation of his daughter's marriage!"

Rose regained her composure and touched the tear at the corner of her eye, saying, "Later, my sister will die."

"My sister was hanged in the room. As she had not given birth to any children, the animal's family did not allow her to enter their ancestral grave. Surprisingly, they returned her body. However, my father only sent someone to take care of her and hastily buried her, not even taking a last glance at her at the funeral."

As she spoke, the tears of Rose couldn't stop flowing out.

Roy was shocked in his heart: there is such a father!

Perhaps due to watching too many novels and TV dramas, Roy is very immune to scenes like this that have some dog blood.

It's just that I have truly traveled through a super dog like journey, and when I hear someone around me say it to me personally, such a living example is right in front of me, and it feels different.

Roy couldn't help but recall being scolded by his father for not doing his job properly when he was trading stocks, and even wanting to sever his father son relationship. However, when the old man heard his son's acute appendicitis being hospitalized for surgery, he rushed to the operating room of the hospital and waited for it. In just over a dozen minutes, he stomped his feet anxiously.

In fact, minor surgeries like appendicitis are not very dangerous. When Roy walked out of the operating room and saw his anxious parents, he was so moved that he almost shed tears in his twenties.

Hey! Being a parent!

"Actually, I know that my father has always wanted a son to support his family business. In a few years, he will be fifty years old. He has been working hard all year round, and his body has gradually become unable to support him. Unfortunately, the three of us are daughters, and my father only wants to find a more reliable son-in-law to inherit the family business. That animal has rich family resources, and in my father's opinion, he may be a golden turtle son-in-law."

Rose raised her head and looked quietly at Roy, but Roy couldn't find the focal length in Rose's eyes.

"Roy! Why are your men always so unfair to us women?"

Roy can only remain silent: Has there really been absolute fairness in this world?

If there were, then I wouldn't be here!

Just as Roy knocked over the bottle of five flavors in his heart, a deafening roar squeezed into his ear.

The giant beast outside the airship finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack on the airship.

Roy only felt the faint moonlight on the airship rapidly disappearing.

"Ah! Up there!" A few screams of surprise came from the crew in the middle of the deck!

Roy lifted his head and, accompanied by a violent shake, saw a huge blurry figure landing on the mast of the airship sail. Now the other sails had lowered to prevent the airship from being blown away by the strong wind, and only the main sail was struggling to keep the airship from colliding with the snow mountain.

Accompanied by a deafening roar and a loud "click", four or five people hugged the thick and thin mast and snapped in response! The accompanying sails and ropes were caught by this giant beast with a piercing sound of breaking and pounding!

The ship suddenly exploded, and the crew began to flee in fear, avoiding falling wooden blocks and iron ropes. Several crew members screamed and rushed towards the giant crossbows used specifically to deal with monster on the ship. However, when Roy first checked the situation on the ship, he found that the crossbow boxes next to the two crossbow machines were already tilted and thrown aside. It seems that before she reached the deck, Rose had already used all the crossbows to greet the giant beasts in the air, but it did not seem to have achieved much effect.

Philip stood across from him, looking anxiously at this side. Seeing the dagger right by Rose's hand, he withdrew his outstretched foot with lingering fear.

Roy noticed a group of people standing still by the cabin, using their long swords to accurately block the falling debris outside their protective range. The black robed man said something to the middle-aged gray clothed man, raised his hand in a horizontal gesture, and then turned around and crawled back into the cabin.

It's best that you all fall into pie when the time comes! Roy thought maliciously.

Roy originally wanted to pick up Rose and find a place to cover it up, but he found that Rose was completely oblivious to the situation on the ship and was still whispering something. Roy chuckled at himself, thinking that he was dying and how could he escape!

Roy protected Rose with both hands, allowing the messy things falling from the air to smash his head and bleed.

"Roy! I am a woman who was born without any rights. I watched everything happen to my sister, but I was powerless. When I found out that my father had already engaged me, I was scared to death!"

"But I saw that you were only thirteen years old at the time, and I knew I still had some time to use, so I readily agreed to the marriage."

"Later on, when you were determined to make a name for yourself and marry me again, I was overjoyed. However, your family suddenly had an accident, and although my father brought you home for treatment, I knew he was already secretly looking for a new son-in-law. I knew I couldn't wait any longer."

"So I brought Philip and you to the border of the empire. In fact... I worked hard to keep you alive because I needed you to be my shield. I needed you as my fiancé e, and my father couldn't pull down his face and remarry me while you were still alive." Finally, the voice of Rose was imperceptible.

"Roy, would you hate me?" Rose looked at Roy with tears on her face.

"I... I just want to live well on my own!" Rose buried her head in her knees again, and Roy felt the girl's body trembling incessantly.

Roy's heart lit up with snow!

So that's what happened! The things I used to want to break my mind and find incomprehensible turned out to be my own sentimentality.

Looking at the poor woman in front of him, Roy had no intention of blaming her. Roy finally gained some understanding of the choice made by the woman who was sobbing softly. The relationship between Rose and her father was definitely not as simple as a father daughter conflict. It was obvious that Roy underestimated the power of male dominance in the world. For a good man in modern society who values gender equality, Roy could not imagine a scene where one person completely dominates or even enslaves another person's life.

Hey! Perhaps supporting this woman who is determined to work hard to survive in this way can be considered a little bit of my own happiness. In an instant, Roy had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.

"Roy! In the next life, I want to be a man. Philip should call me 'Young Master' then!"

"Just be a woman, I will marry you, treat you well, and make up for my deception." Rose's voice became a bit shaky again.

"Okay, if possible, let you marry me," Roy said, extending his arms and gently embracing Rose leaning against him.

Rose's carefree whispers came to an abrupt end!

"What are you doing!"

Roy felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and Rose had already punched him hard.

Rose's mind instantly regained consciousness! This Roy, who is usually like a walking corpse and doesn't distinguish between life and death, dares to hug himself!

Rose reached out her hands and was about to push Roy away with all her might, but Roy had already held Rose tightly in her arms.

Her full chest was tightly pressed against Roy's chest, and her hands were sandwiched between their bodies. She could even feel each other's heartbeat clearly, and Rose felt a burning sensation on her face.

"Alright, don't make a fuss!" Roy leaned his mouth against Rose's ear as he rested his long hair on the faint fragrance emanating from Rose.

Feeling the hot wind blowing in her ear, Rose almost fainted with anger.

Men! Indeed, none of them are good things!

Rose vigorously pulled out a hand and was already touching the dagger that had just been thrown on the deck!

"Rose, live well! This world should belong to those who work hard to survive!"

"What?" The dagger in Rose's hand fell into the air. Roy turned his head and stared into Rose's eyes. "As long as a person lives, there will always be hope! That's what you said, isn't it?"

The first time she heard Roy's gentle voice, Rose couldn't help but be stunned. This guy's eyes were shining! Rose had a faint feeling that Roy seemed to be doing something, which had a great connection with her.

The next moment, Rose's face quickly turned black.

Roy's hand touched the delicate waist of Rose.

"Ah!" Rose screamed and without hesitation, the dagger in her hand plunged into Roy's back. With a loud thud, the dagger knotted firmly into Roy's back.

Rose looked at Roy in horror, but only grinned hard.

"Crying like a little flower cat, still so powerful!"

Rose, after all, is a weak woman with little military strength. The two of them hugged each other tightly and couldn't exert much strength. In addition, Roy was wearing a specially designed leather jacket for the crew of the airship, and the blade penetrated her body a bit, so she couldn't penetrate anymore.

"Alright! When you come to marry me in the next life, don't be late! Lend me these two things for a while, and I'll give you both in the next life." Slowly releasing his arms, Roy let go of Rose that seemed to have been lost.

"Philip! Give her your scroll, but don't let her die. In the next life, I want to find a man, and I also want to find a smaller one!" Roy turned his head and shouted at Philip, who was already stunned over there.

Rose was startled, her hands leaned towards her waist, and the Wind Spirit Scroll in her shoulder bag was gone! "Two things?" Rose's mind suddenly turned and she noticed that the signal flare that had been scattered next to her earlier seemed to be missing one.

"Roy!?" Rose shouted loudly, only to see that Roy had already run to the side of a large crossbow machine specialized in dealing with monster across the deck.

Roy kicked open a crew member who was still frantically pressing the crossbow switch, and there were no crossbows on the crossbow! A large wooden barrel, one person thick and half a person high, was pulled out from the pile of debris behind the crew member, with a lid fastened to it with wooden bolts.

The bucket is filled with venom specifically used to smear crossbows and arrows against monster. Roy knew that this thing was usually placed next to the crossbow machine, and when encountering powerful monsters, he even threw the crossbow arrow inside and soaked it before using it.

Roy took out his Wind Spirit Scroll from his waist, along with a scroll he had just reached from Rose's waist with his other hand. There were two rolls in total. Roy took a deep breath and grabbed a pinch of his hands, causing the two scrolls to tear apart in the wind.

In the pitch black night sky, Roy's body was surrounded by a faint magical halo. He picked up the venom bucket in front of him and turned around, shouting, "If I succeed! You owe me decades of life! Let's live our lives together! If we fail, we'll marry you in the next life!"

On the dim deck, Roy's body emitted a faint glow, looking somewhat sacred. Rose had never seen Roy smile so brightly and beautifully before. Her eyes couldn't stop shedding tears, and she finally knew what this usually foolish man was going to do now.

"No! Roy! No!" Rose ran towards Roy with all her might.

Roy felt his weight rapidly disappearing, and the magical halo on his body had slowly extended from his arms to the barrel.

"Come on! This world should be left for people like Rose to live!" Roy kicked his leg hard, and the howling wind blew Roy, who had been blessed with two wind spiritual spells, out of the airship in the blink of an eye.

In the pitch black night, Roy quickly transformed into a small spot of light, with a deep roar. The huge black shadow above the airship quickly swam towards the glowing Roy.

"Roy --!"

The mournful cry of Rose was blown away into the vast night sky before it could be heard far away.
