I'm a Brave Man, It's My Job to Pretend to Be a Liar

Deep in the forbidden book library of the Western Fantasy World, candlelight flickered and dust floated in the dim light. The student's fingertips brushed over the worn gold paint of the frame. The painting showed a girl wearing broken silver-white armor, holding a half-broken sword in her hand, and behind her was the burning and collapsed white tower city of Ferris. There was a faint smile on the corners of her lips, but the smile did not even reach her eyes. She was indifferently mocking the gods, fate, and the capricious world. Her eyes were full of crushed fate and lonely courage that no one could understand. "Teacher, who is she?" The old professor rubbed the name that was deliberately scratched off in the corner of the painting. He was silent for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice: "She is a liar. She deceived the gods and the entire world. She was the chosen hero who defeated the Demon King of Destruction, but she personally destroyed the center of fate, Ferris. The world calls her a brave liar and a fool of fate, but there is no record of her in the official history." The student was stunned: "How come there is no record of the brave man who saved and destroyed the world?" The old professor wiped off the dust on the painting and revealed the small invisible words on the armor. His smile was filled with sadness and admiration: "Because she deceived the world at the cost of everything she had, so that everyone could live in her stolen freedom with peace of mind."
