"Damn it, this is infuriating." The aristocrat's daughter kicked the wooden wall of the Ember Tulip Inn, but she immediately felt the pain and raised her sharp eyebrows: "Ouch, ouch!"
She turned around and saw the black-haired young man walking out with a handsome young man in a tailored black suit, mink gloves, and a silver flower on his chest. Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Rono, Viscount Elman, what did the Legion Commander say?"
The young man shook his head: "He told us to behave."
"That's great," the young lady clapped her hands together and sighed in relief: "Does that mean they won't pursue the matter?"
The handsome young man listened to their conversation and looked at the young man who was half a head shorter than him with a faint smile. He then turned around and asked: "Miss Faena, what's going on?"
Elman knew that the Duchess scolded the few Knight Captains from head to toe because of what happened this afternoon. However, the Knight Captains would not disobey a military order. If there was a problem, it would definitely fall on this troublesome young lady.
He was the one who suggested to keep Faena who secretly followed them. Lady Veronica did not object because of the Empress, but today, he was the one who bore the brunt of the blame. In the end, he was the one who did not fulfill his duty as a guardian.
However, Elman was not in a hurry and looked at Faena with a smile.
"Hmph," Faena snorted as soon as she heard about the incident: "It's all that country bumpkin's fault …" She angrily described the entire incident.
"That guy is very powerful. Count Cullens was defeated in a single blow. Even the Imperial Knight is not his match. " The black-haired young man added. But even so, Rono did not take this matter to heart. After all, Count Cullens was one of Erouine's people. He was more concerned about the Crimson Blessing in Brando's hands.
"That's because Count Cullens underestimated him. Besides, the Imperial Knight Captains are just a bunch of spoiled brats. I think they are not as good as the border Knight Captains." Faena snorted disdainfully and retorted.
Elman was also a Knight, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and asked: "Is there such a genius among Erouine's people?"
"He can at least fight the Duke head on." The black-haired young man replied.
"That's only because he can't use it in that place. Besides, that guy has Halran Gaia, it's an unfair advantage." Faena was still unconvinced.
"That may be the case, but it's already not bad for any one of us to be able to stand under the Legion Commander's aura." Rono said objectively.
Faena glared at the black-haired young man: "Rono, why are you always going against me?"
"I'm telling the truth, Vahina." The black-haired youth was stunned for a moment before answering after some thought.
Faena was not angered to death by this idiot. She snorted heavily and did not say anything else.
"I remember that Erouine's people aren't having a good time recently," Elman smiled and said softly: "But it seems like they haven't learned their lesson yet."
"Elman?" The young man turned around and frowned at his companion.
"Don't worry, Rono. Offending Miss Faena is not something I can tolerate no matter what." Elman replied gracefully.
Faena's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although no one dared to go against the Commander's will, Viscount Elman was a rising star in the Empire's political scene. He was also known as Cruz's new eagle. This was not the first time she heard her father praising this young man for his intelligence, cautiousness, and vigilance. He was one of the best among the younger generation.
She knew that her father rarely praised others, but since even her father had such high praise for him, she could not help but think that he might have a way.
In any case, the fact that Viscount Elman was willing to help her at this time made her feel very comfortable. She could not help but look at him with admiration and anticipation.
"What should we do, Viscount Elman?" She asked: "Even Viscount Elman can't go against Lady Veronica's orders, can he?"
"Of course," Elman smiled: "But there's no need to go through so much trouble. There's no need to inform Lady Veronica about such small matters."
"But that guy has at least the strength of a Gold Domain. None of us are his match." Rono frowned and said, "If we rely on numbers to win, the Druids might interfere. The Druids value him quite a lot …"
The black-haired young man did not finish his sentence. Everyone present knew how serious the consequences would be if Commander Veronica was alerted.
"It's not that troublesome," Elman smiled: "Isn't Aouine's diplomatic group here as well? Since that young man is a noble, he might be one of them. But even if he isn't, let's just leave it to them to deal with their own matters."
Vahina's blue eyes lit up when she heard that. "That's right!" She praised: "Why didn't I think of that? In front of the Empire, those Erouine officials will have no choice but to submit."
She then snorted: "Let them teach their subordinates a lesson!"
"But who's going?" She asked again.
Elman shrugged. Even though he was a Viscount of the Eagle Collar, he was still a captain of the Knight Guards. It was not appropriate for him to interact with foreign diplomats.
"I can't do it either," the black-haired young man beside him shook his head: "Royal Alchemists are not allowed to interact with foreign diplomats."
"You … You don't want me to go personally, do you?" Vahina's eyes widened as she pressed her chest: "I … I don't have any experience in this area."
"I'll go," a voice said softly.
Vahina turned around and saw a woman in a purple dress walking out of the hall. She stood there and answered softly. Her aura was quiet and mysterious, and she looked like a purple mandala that grew in the darkness.
The woman smiled and her gaze stopped on Viscount Elman for a moment.
"Sister Delfien!" Vahina exclaimed in surprise: "You're willing to help? That's great! Do you have any ideas? "
"Lord Elman's idea is very good," the woman in the purple dress looked at the young man beside her: "Besides, Vahina agreed, didn't she?"
"But you're the daughter of the prime minister, the flower of wisdom of the Empire. Compared to Viscount Elman, I trust Sister Delfien more. Besides, everyone knows that you're in love with Viscount Elman. Who knows if you're speaking up for him? I'm worried!"
Elman chuckled and looked at the woman beside him with a playful look. Then he turned around and looked at the young lady.
Delfien shook her head and replied softly: "If that's the case, then the Holy Cathedral of Fire should also put pressure on Erouine."
"Oh?" Viscount Elman raised an eyebrow and looked at the prime minister's daughter. Vahina noticed his gaze and looked up at him with a faint smile.
"The Holy Cathedral of Fire?" Vahina asked in confusion: "Will the Holy Cathedral of Fire listen to us?"
"I heard that Erouine cast a spell that looks like the Holy Cathedral's Armor of Heaven," Delfien said quietly as she brushed her long hair behind her shoulder: "But the truth isn't important. What's important is how we describe it."
"Good idea," Elman smiled: "I heard that the leader of the Holy Cathedral of Fire in the Dark Forest is the priest known as Amman the Avaricious. As long as we let him catch us, even if we don't die, we'll lose a layer of skin."
"As for the rest," the young viscount continued: "We can also muddy the waters as much as possible. There are many factions here, and a little conflict is not impossible."
Delfien nodded.
"That's great!" Vahina was excited as well. She could already see Brando's death approaching. She waved her little fist excitedly as if she had already vented her anger: "Let's do that. Let's move out immediately!"
The black-haired youth, however, was worried about the business of their trip. "Speaking of which, more and more factions are entering the Dark Forest. We, the Magi of Galbu, the Holy Cathedral of Fire, and even Erouine's people are all here. The Lionheart Sword is a sacred artifact of our kingdom."
"Why are you worrying so much, Rono," Vahina sighed as she felt her enthusiasm being dampened by Rono's words: "With Lady Veronica around, what are we afraid of?"
"The Magi of Galbu are only here to watch the show," Elman replied: "As for the Holy Cathedral of Fire, the Lionheart Sword can be said to be closely related to the Flame King. As for Erouine's people, do we need to care about what those country bumpkins think?"
The black-haired youth nodded.
"But does the Lionheart Sword really have anything to do with the Loop of Trade Winds?" The black-haired youth asked again: "The Astrologers detected that the Divine Artifact's reaction was to the southeast of Randner, not far from Chablis."
"The Divine Artifact's reaction has too many implications, and there is no way to pinpoint its exact location," Delfien finally spoke up: "That's why it's normal that we didn't find anything when we entered the Dark Forest from the south of Chablis."
"Could it have been taken by those skeletons?" Vahina thought of the Madara army they encountered on the way.
"The Divine Artifact has a soul," Rono replied: "Whether it's the Lionheart Sword or the Flaming Edge, they symbolize light and justice. Any undead that comes into contact with them will be reduced to ashes. They won't be interested in these two swords."
"That's why our only hope is the Loop of Trade Winds," Delfien replied.
The topic of their conversation changed from how to punish Brando to the true purpose of their trip. Just as they were deep in thought, a group of Knights suddenly rushed in from outside.
The Knights first saw the captain of the Knight Guards, Viscount Elman, and immediately bowed: "Captain!"
"Viscount!"
Elman stopped thinking and looked at them: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? "
"Something big has happened, Viscount!"
"Something big?"
"There's a change in the Loop of Trade Winds!" The Knight replied breathlessly.
