Outside the window, green and dreamy vines hung down. The sunlight flooded the windowsill, and the room was quiet.
The female Knight, Nia, sat by the bed and peeled the oranges one by one into the crystal plate on the bedside table. Then she carefully looked at the delicate sleeping face on the bed. In her heart, the lady was probably the most beautiful person in the world. The words noble and kind seemed to be specially created for her.
Few people outside knew what was happening inside Yanbao. Since the sword throne was broken, the struggle for power in the family had not stopped for a moment. The collateral branches all thought that the current head of the family, the current Earl Yanbao, should be responsible, but everyone knew that it was just an excuse. The source of the struggle was the Earl's younger brother, who was called 'dear Baron Dahl' by the outside world. But it was not a full of praise, especially when Yanbao led the people to mention it, they all gnashed their teeth.
About a month later, the Earl's youngest son was poisoned to death at the Revival Ceremony. It was later proven that he was just paying for someone else's life. The gluttonous little guy slipped into the kitchen, and his body was found with a little maid. There were some things that Nia did not dare to tell Dilferi, but she felt that the clever lady could more or less guess something. If she had not watched the old master become more and more haggard day by day, the lady would not have rashly gone to the South.
She stared at the pale face in a daze — the thick eyelashes drooped gently, and the lips were as red as cherries, dotting the snow-white skin. Over the past few days, Miss Dilferi had only been awake for a limited time, but every time she asked if there was any news from the family. The female Knight looked at her weak appearance, and several times she almost could not hold back her tears.
The lady could not stand up and had lost the ability to use magic for the rest of her life. She was recognized as a genius in Yanbao when she was a child. What kind of power made her accept this so calmly? The female Knight looked at her sword. The reason why she was called a Knight was that her ancestors had been blessed by the Earl of Yanbao, but the lady might have her own choice.
At this time, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Miss Nia."
It was the maid's voice. The female Knight seemed to be startled and replied with some shame, "Please keep your voice down and come in. The lady is still resting."
The door was pushed open, and the maid's expression was somewhat ugly. But she still bowed and greeted first, "Miss Niya, there's someone outside who wants to see you. It's … "
Nia didn't notice her expression. All her attention was on her young miss. She asked without turning her head: "Is it Her Highness or Miss Amandina?"
"No, Lady Nia …" Before the maid could finish, a voice rudely interrupted her. The voice was a mix of excitement and pride, and it was as high-pitched as a male duck quacking. "Haha, Ampere Seale is not small at all. I wonder what the capital is like? What's wrong, little Niya, you can't even recognize me after a few days? "
"Akel …" The female Knight shuddered as if she had found this name from hell. A look of disgust appeared on her face. She stood up and subconsciously reached for her sword. However, just as she grabbed the hilt and guard of the sword, the man outside had already pushed the door open and walked in.
To be exact, it was just a young man. His dark brown curly hair was very beautiful, but it contrasted with the pale skin underneath. His lips were so thin that they were almost inhuman. He had a pair of eyes that shone like black glass, with deep eye bags and wrinkles around them. It was obvious that he had been drinking too much.
The youth had a mysterious smile on his face as he stood by the door. He was wearing a purple woolen coat with silver edges. His two hands were in a pouch, and there was a cane hanging from the crook of his arm. The tip of the cane was inlaid with a Lion's Eye.
No matter how you looked at it, this young man could be described as handsome, but his footsteps were a little frivolous. However, when the female Knight saw him, it was as if she had seen a demon. Even when she was fighting a demon, she had never shown such a look of fear mixed with disgust.
When the young man saw the female Knight, he smiled, revealing his white teeth. "Miss Niya, have you considered becoming my Knight? I will give you the best warhorse in the North, but you are also the one I like the most. "
"In your dreams!" The female Knight was so angry that she trembled. "Get out of here right now!"
"Haha, why are you so nervous?" The young man grabbed the maid's hair, and in the midst of the little girl's screams, he pulled her over and sniffed her face. He turned back and smiled. "Miss Niya, I'm here to see my dear sister. You don't seem to have the right to ask me to get out, do you?"
"This is Miss Dilferi's private room … You are crazy! Let go of her, she is the princess' maid. "The female Knight's hand that was holding the hilt of her sword was slightly pale, but she did not dare to pull out the sword.
The previous Count Yanbao had four sons. The third son died young, and the youngest son became an apprentice of a wizard. There was no news of him until now. The eldest son was today's Count Yanbao, Dilferi's father. Dilferi went to Ampere Seale this time with the title of Count, but she had not really inherited the territory. The second son was the well-known 'dear Dale', the father of the young man in front of her.
As the saying goes, like father like son (daughter), the upright Count Yanbao had a daughter like Miss Dilferi. In Niya's opinion, it was natural for Baron Dale to have a son like Akel. This father and son were the scum of scum.
The young man let go of the maid, and the poor little girl let out a frightened scream and stumbled out. Akel laughed, and let out a series of laughter that was difficult to understand. "Miss Niya, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the princess as your backer. You are my woman, and you can't escape this identity for the rest of your life. "
"Beast!" The female Knight gritted her teeth and scolded. When she had just become a Knight, she was ignorant and actually believed this person's flowery words. She would never forget that nightmarish night, when the demonic young man drugged and forcibly took over her body. At that time, he was only fourteen, and she had just turned eighteen.
When she thought of everything in the past, she trembled with anger. "Akel, I'll count to three, if you don't disappear from my sight, don't blame me for being rude!" She pulled out her long sword.
"Come on, don't do this, Miss Niya. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago." Akel said with a smile, "Besides, I'm not here today to catch up with you. You know what my dear sister has done. I'm here today to stop you from continuing to shame the family."
"Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth, Akel, what nonsense are you talking about?" Niya frowned and pointed her sword at the demon's throat. She always felt that Akel was up to no good, although he might not even know what good intentions were.
"You really know how to pretend, Miss Niya. My dear sister has been accused of practicing demonic magic. The Holy Cathedral has officially begun to investigate this matter. Even the Earl knows about it. As her personal Knight, you should know about it, right? "
"How is this possible …" Niya's mind went blank when she suddenly heard this news. Although she knew that it was impossible to hide the fact that Dilferi temporarily controlled the Demon King on the battlefield, she at least still felt lucky. That was for the victory of the war, wasn't it? Her Royal Highness and the Earl can testify.
The female Knight shook her head hard, as if this was the only way to calm herself down, "It's the Holy Cathedral that attracted the demons. How can they do this? Miss sacrificed herself to fight against the demons. Her Royal Highness won't ignore it! "
"Haha, Her Royal Highness can't even protect herself. How can she have time to care about your lives?" The young man sneered. He took a step forward and let the cold blade of the female Knight touch his throat. He replied without changing his expression, "Niya, I'm sincere to you. Believe me, only I can protect you and your young lady. Don't fight against me anymore. "
The female Knight's expression changed, "You … You actually have designs on Miss Dilferi? She's your sister! "
"She's my cousin." The young man corrected her, and at the same time replied coldly, "Miss Niya, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
"Don't come any closer, demon!" The female Knight's whole body trembled.
The young man snorted coldly. At this time, the door was opened again, and a tall man shrouded in a gray cloak came in. The man was wearing a hood, and the shadow under the hood completely covered his face. It was like a dark void. When he spoke, his buzzing voice came from the void.
"It took some time to deal with that Knight."
"After all, he's a Gold rank expert. Be careful, my dear sister has brought three of the most powerful Knight in the territory. Deal with that woman first. Be careful not to hurt her. "The young man turned his head slightly and ordered, his voice cold and without a trace of emotion.
"Understood," the man replied with a buzzing voice. He turned his head to face the female Knight. Niya suddenly gasped. She saw that there was no shadow under the hood at all. There was nothing. It was a blank space.
"What did you do to Rhonin!"
She roared and slashed at the mysterious man with her sword. In her impression, other than her, Rhonin, and Ievet, there were no other experts in Yanbao who had stepped into the Gold rank. But the person in front of her gave her a cold and terrifying aura. It was not like the power of Elemental Power, but more like the cold aura of death.
Or it should be said that there was no sense of life. It was like a void.
Before she could slash with her sword, she suddenly felt a terrible shock explode in her spiritual world. Niya had never experienced such a terrible power in her life. It was as if a sharp awl had been nailed into her brain, causing her to scream and kneel on the ground with her hands covering her head.
The female Knight's shrill screams made the young man frown. He saw that Niya's beautiful face was completely distorted. Blood seeped out of her nostrils and eyes. It was a horrifying sight.
Then the tall man walked over and slapped her on the back of the neck, causing the female Knight to tilt her head and faint.
"Don't you know how to be gentle with women?" The young man asked impatiently.
"There's no third Gold rank human in this house. I don't have to hold back." The man replied with a buzzing voice.
"Alright," the young man waved his hand impatiently, "Drag her out. I have something to talk to my dear sister alone."
The tall man bowed respectfully before carrying the unconscious female Knight out of the house. Akel looked back and smiled coldly. He closed the door and came to Dilferi's bedside.
