"I'm fine …"
Chen Heng shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He turned and looked at Verna in his arms, "What about you? Are you alright? "
"I … I'm fine."
After being hugged by Chen Heng, Verna's face became red as she nodded and said softly.
Chen Heng smiled and put her down, having her leave.
Verna left in a daze, and her mind was completely blank.
She thought back to the scene from before, thinking back to how Chen Heng had acted, and she could not help but feel dazed, her mind completely blank.
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he looked at Carey, "They were all ordinary people; there were no Knight Apprentices among them.
"However, these people are not weak. They are basically well-trained elites. I don't know where they came from."
Speaking to there, he could not help but frown, feeling quite confused.
"After I interrogate them, I'll know who they are."
Carey's expression was ashen as he spoke savagely.
What had happened this time was a slap in the face for him.
This banquet was hosted by him, and the guests were all nobles. It could be said that their statuses were not small at all and could not be compared to ordinary people.
If something happened to someone at the banquet, he would be in trouble.
Those people would not care about what had happened; they would only know that the assassins had acted at his banquet.
Just this alone would not be a big deal, but Carey had seen it clearly.
Those people had evidently come for Verna.
With Verna's status, if something happened to her … Carey could not help but shiver.
Carey couldn't help but shudder. He could hardly imagine the horrifying consequences.
It could only be said that once something like this happened, the entire Kutu Royal City would fall into chaos. Carey would not be able to protect himself, and even his father, a Count, would not be able to protect him.
Fortunately, he had Knight Kaelin …
At that moment, Carey felt incredibly glad that he was friends with Chen Heng and had invited him to his banquet.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to hold back in this situation.
With those assassins' skills, if it was not for a Knight like Chen Heng acting, even if his guards could take them down, it would be too late.
Thinking to there, he inwardly rejoiced and valued Chen Heng even more.
"With such a thing happening, I'm afraid this banquet can no longer continue."
Standing there and looking at Carey, Chen Heng lightly laughed, "Since it's like this, I'll be leaving first."
"Alright."
Carey nodded and said, "I have to thank you for this, but now is not the time to talk."
"In a few days, I will personally pay a visit."
He said with a solemn expression.
Chen Heng smiled as he nodded, and under everyone's respectful and envious gazes, he turned and left.
Before leaving, Chen Heng glanced at a corner.
The candlelight in the surroundings was not very bright, and some corners were a little dim, making it impossible to see clearly.
However, with Chen Heng's eyesight, he could still see into the distance.
In the distance, a little girl was staring at him. She had never left his side.
Sensing this gaze, Chen Heng inwardly smiled and did not stay for long before turning and leaving.
"Princess, he has already left."
Verna reluctantly looked away.
A servant by her side said, her face looking somewhat pale.
"Do you think I will be able to meet him again?"
Verna looked at the servant in front of her and asked this question.
In front of her, the servant was startled. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You are the noble princess. If you want to meet someone, you only need to summon them."
However, you are still young, and it is not suitable for you to summon young men. "
She said in a small voice, "However, as long as Princess is willing, there will be opportunities in the future."
"That's right."
Verna nodded and gave a slight smile, "There will be opportunities in the future."
"I wonder what the effect of today's performance will be …"
On the other side, Chen Heng calmly sat in the carriage as he thought to himself.
His gains from this banquet were much better than what he had expected.
Before, he had only attended this banquet to get to know more people and show off, as well as to discuss business.
However, he had never thought that not only would he get to know a suitable target, but he would also find an opportunity to show off.
No matter how sharp a weapon was, if he did not have the opportunity to use it, it would be useless.
Even though Chen Heng was a Knight and was far more powerful than ordinary people, if he did not have the opportunity to show off, he would not be able to show off his power.
After going through these twists and turns, Chen Heng had found an opportunity to show off his power, and at the same time, he had made many people have a good impression of him.
For example, those people that Chen Heng had saved, such as Verna and Carey.
To Chen Heng, this was his greatest gain.
After today, Chen Heng's reputation among the nobles in the Kutu Royal City would rise by another level.
As for Verna, she was another gain.
Chen Heng had made up his mind. After going back, he would use his connections to find out Verna's true identity.
Based on the results, he would decide what to do next.
As long as the conditions met Chen Heng's standards, perhaps Chen Heng would take the initiative and try to get to know them.
Sitting in the carriage by himself, Chen Heng continuously thought to himself.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, it had been another half a month.
During this half a month, Chen Heng's performance had been incredibly steady. On the surface, it seemed like everything was the same as usual; if he wasn't attending classes, he would be training diligently.
During this period of time, the events from that night began to spread.
In a short period of time, Chen Heng once again became famous, and his bravery spread throughout the Kutu Royal City's noble circles.
Who knew how many people who had experienced that night were spreading stories about Chen Heng's deeds.
Immediately, Chen Heng's reputation became even greater.
During this period of time, Carey had come to visit with a serious expression and told Chen Heng some news.
He had found out the identities of those assassins.
What was unexpected was that these assassins were not from the Kutu Principality but from a famous Assassin organization in a neighboring country.
They had been hired to assassinate Carey and the others.
Of course, this was just what Carey had said.
In actuality, Chen Heng could tell.
The person the assassins wanted to kill was that little girl called Verna.
