"It's not for anything else but just to take care of that child?"
Looking at the smile on Chen Heng's face, many people thought to themselves.
Looking at the gentle and handsome Chen Heng sitting in front of them, they could not help but feel a sense of admiration.
To be honest, as nobles, the temptations they faced on a daily basis were unimaginable to ordinary people.
Under such circumstances, someone who could hold on to his principles and not be tempted by the outside world was undoubtedly worthy of respect.
For Chen Heng to be able to resist temptation and even treat an unfamiliar little girl warmly, he truly lived up to his reputation as the noble Knight Kaelin.
They inwardly sighed as they thought to themselves.
No one thought that Chen Heng had any intentions towards Verna.
After all, it was not as if there were women with better figures and better looks than Verna and had prestigious statuses.
Moreover, many of those people had good impressions of Chen Heng, but they had all been courteously rejected.
Now that he had accepted this little girl's invitation, it was evidently to take care of the little girl's feelings and not because of anything else.
At this moment, everyone around them was thinking the same thing.
Even Carey did not think too much about it.
Even though he knew that Verna's identity was not ordinary, Chen Heng did not know about it. Moreover, Chen Heng had created a very good impression of himself in the past, so Carey did not think too much about it.
As for Verna, her mind was completely blank, and her face became quite red.
Looking at Chen Heng, she mustered up her courage and said, "Mr. Kaelin … you don't like me coming to this sort of place?"
"That's not the case."
Chen Heng smiled, "It's just that different people have different things to do at different ages.
With your age, it's a bit too early for you to come to this sort of place.
Of course, these are just suggestions. "
He looked at Verna and lightly laughed, "As for the specifics, it's up to you.
Others do not have the right to make decisions for you … "
Looking at Chen Heng and hearing these words, Verna thought to herself.
She had heard similar words from others before.
One of her big sisters had said similar words, but they were much harsher than what Chen Heng had said.
However, for some reason, when Chen Heng said the same words, she did not feel any disgust towards them.
She tilted her head, not understanding.
A hand slowly reached out and grabbed her hand.
Under the envious gazes of many girls, Chen Heng got up and slowly held Verna's hand.
They walked forward, walked to a corner, and began to dance ballroom.
The Kutu Principality's noble dances were quite unique, and as a noble, Chen Heng had learned them at his father's territory.
Of course, in the past, he rarely danced with others.
Therefore, his movements seemed a little rusty, just as he had said before.
However, even though it was out of practice, it wasn't ugly.
At the end of the day, the so-called dance was just a manifestation of the body's movements.
With Chen Heng's current constitution and flexibility, as long as he wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to dance well.
In front of him, Verna followed his movements.
In front of Chen Heng, Verna instinctively moved, but her eyes were tightly fixed on Chen Heng's body, staring at his face in a daze.
It was not until the dance began that she managed to regain her senses.
"It's over."
Chen Heng warmly smiled but did not immediately let go of her hand. Instead, he held her hand and slowly walked with her.
"It's getting late."
Looking at Verna, he smiled and said, "After going back, remember to rest early."
After saying this, he let go of Verna's hand and politely greeted her before turning around and walking back to his seat.
Verna absentmindedly walked back to her seat.
As she walked, she subconsciously thought back to that feeling.
She could still clearly remember the feeling from before. Even though it had only been for a moment, that person's appearance had been deeply engraved in her mind, and she could not forget it.
Verna thought back to that feeling, and she still had not come back to her senses.
Just like that, she instinctively walked back to her seat.
Whoosh …
A light sound came from the side. It sounded incredibly clear, like the sound of a sword being drawn.
"Watch out!!"
Cries sounded out, accompanied by girls' screams and panicked cries.
Hearing these sounds, Verna instinctively turned.
A silver longsword was reflected in her eyes. It was rapidly approaching her, flying at high speed.
"Who is it?!"
The threat of death appeared in her mind.
At that moment, Verna's heart seemed to stop, and her body felt icy cold.
The threat of death appeared in her mind, followed by a sense of terror, making her feel like she was suffocating.
In front of her, an ordinary-looking female servant wearing a gray robe had suddenly pulled out a dagger and quickly rushed towards Verna.
In the surroundings, there were even more people drawing closer, their sharp gazes filled with killing intent as they stared at Verna.
"They want to kill me?"
"Why?"
Verna's body felt cold, and that thought flashed in her mind as her mind went blank.
These people had reacted too quickly, making it so that she could not react at all. Facing this sudden threat, she could not react at all.
Those people flew over and were about to get close to her.
Fortunately, at that moment, someone finally acted.
Whoosh …
A light sound rang out in the surroundings.
At the critical moment, a hand suddenly reached out and knocked the dagger away in an instant.
Following this, a tall figure blocked in front of Verna.
Bang!!
A figure was quickly sent flying back.
In an instant, the assassin's body was sent flying and smashed heavily into a corner.
Chen Heng silently stood at the center of the crowd.
He stood there, holding Verna with one hand and a silver sword in his right hand, which shined brightly under the candlelight.
In the surroundings, a few figures simultaneously rushed out, and the sound of swords being drawn continuously sounded out.
"Watch out!"
Seeing this, the people in the surroundings could not help but cry out in surprise. At this moment, they were extremely nervous.
However, in the next moment, Chen Heng also started to move.
Silently standing there and sensing the activity around him, Chen Heng's expression was calm, and his expression was incredibly steady.
In the next moment, he exerted force in his hand, and a massive force burst forth, bringing with it a gust of wind. He simultaneously slashed out many times, destroying all of the incoming attacks.
Bang!!
The crimson blood at the bottom splattered in all directions.
A few figures crashed to the ground at the same time.
Silently, the power that belonged to a knight was vividly displayed.
During the entire process, he did not make any unnecessary movements. With one hand still holding Verna, he easily dealt with those assassins.
The people in the surroundings looked at Chen Heng in shock. Even the coldest and most aloof person could not help but look at this figure with a strange look in their eyes.
"Kaylin, my friend, are you alright?"
Ahead, Carey's voice sounded out.
