Chapter 303: The precept that truly belongs to you

Afterwards, with the help of the purple microphone, the sapphire returned to normal.

But at the same time, this little cat also exhibited some strange behavior, such as occasionally staring at you furtively, and its throat would emit a purring sound.

Moreover, she often went to play with the rabbit-ear nurse older sister, then came back looking completely relaxed, which left you puzzled.

Later, you found the big cat that had been avoiding you lately, and when you asked her what that purple microphone was, you only got a big cat screaming and fleeing.

Helpless, you could only give up on finding the purple microphone and let the catgirl be, after all, who doesn't have a few little secrets?

Then, under BOSS's manipulation, you successfully took over your uncle's position, becoming the new Empire Godblade; the empire's populace was utterly shocked—an eighteen‑year‑old Empire Godblade, simply unheard of! Never before seen!

Nevertheless, even though such a lofty title was placed upon you, you felt nothing, even finding it somewhat boring and puzzling.

A knight's honor does not come from some empty title, but from substantive achievements and conduct; although you don't understand why BOSS would place this title upon you, you don't care about those things.

Your aunt's life is now safe; all you need to do is get stronger, get stronger, and get stronger!

Then.... climb to the pinnacle of this world, to witness what BOSS calls the 'gods,' and then slay them with your own hands.

However, this still depends on the circumstances; although this is what he promised BOSS, if the other party truly has merit, then it can only be treated differently.

Also, your uncle, since you finally took up the title of Empire Godblade, and with the empire's internal problems resolved by the Imperial Princess, his burden suddenly lightened, and he could finally return to being a carefree wanderer, which made him very satisfied.

At this point, the empire's affairs are finally completely settled; you also once again began your campaign to eradicate sin, and BOSS, just as he had promised, sought out various extremely powerful opponents for you.

You continue to explore how to practice the precept of fearless sacrifice, but you have never found a way to truly enact it; even challenging opponents in dire straits feels more like a suicidal act than any sacrifice.

The word 'sacrifice' has become your most puzzling term—what is sacrifice, what is fearless sacrifice? The deeper you delve, the more confused it becomes, to the point you can no longer grasp its meaning.

In the end, you decided to ask the person who told you this precept, namely your aunt.

After waiting a long time, you finally received from BOSS the news that your aunt was about to awaken, and you hurried over anxiously.

Fearless... sacrifice....

The corners of your aunt's eyes slightly curved with a faint smile; she was very proud of Jierte's current growth.

Never mind that, Jierte—do you truly know what your own precept is?

My precept? It's just the normal knight's code of justice and fearlessness, etc.

Hmm, that choice is correct, but not entirely so.

What I mean is your 'own' precept, one unique to yourself, born from your deep memories, and a lifelong example to follow.

Your aunt's words plunged Jierte into contemplation, a place he had never carefully considered before.

From beginning to end, he had always thought it wasn't something important, but seeing your aunt's demeanor now, it seems to hold considerable significance.

Practicing the precept makes us stronger, but the third precept is not a sustainable one to practice.

It... is more like a choice.

A choice?

Yes, when you decide to practice this precept, its true purpose will then be revealed.

And only your own precept, besides the family precept, can once again enhance your strength.

Your aunt's remarks left Jierte thoughtful, though at this moment he is more curious about what your aunt's own precept actually is.

Want to know?

After hearing Jierte's words, your aunt gave a mysterious smile and, amid his expectant gaze, chose to tease him.

I won't tell you.

Jierte looked speechless; he felt that since your aunt woke up, her personality has become much more playful.

You should know, before, your aunt didn't even smile at him, and toward outsiders she was extremely cold.

Now she even jokes around.

All right, just teasing you.

As for my precept, it's actually quite simple.

That is, do what you want to do, never let yourself regret it, and even if you die, live out a lifetime of honor.

After all.... life only happens once, and the probability of death is a hundred percent.

If you don't live brilliantly, how can you justify this lifetime?

After all, you've come this far.

This is the second time you've heard this from your aunt—doing what you want to do remains a dilemma for you.

You have nothing you want to do; you have a beautiful childhood, needing no compensation for its shadows, nor need to live in hatred for any matter or person.

You have no grand ambitions, nor any lifelong goal to strive for; all you need to do is protect the people around you.

So.... what exactly will your own exclusive precept be?
