Meditation world.
After more than half a year, Allen and Kelly returned to the Baron of Mulan again.
After the funeral was held for "Anna" who was unfortunately assassinated, the Baron, who disguised himself as a man, continued to lead the team to welcome the bride.
When he arrived at the Earl of Lancer, he was unexpectedly given a cold reception.
Your Excellency, a knight's tournament is being held.
Nobles from far and near came to support the event, which was very lively.
Count Lancer only took the time to meet his prospective son-in-law once, never mentioned the engagement, and even made explicit hints:
Unless Arthur wins the tournament and proves that he is mature and brave enough to assume the position of Lord Mulan, he will have to reconsider his daughter's engagement.
When it comes to this, Alan and Kelly know it very well.
Winning the tournament is just a decent excuse.
Many of the prestigious knights errant came to participate in the tournament.
The immature Baron Mulan is far from able to compete with the already famous knight.
The earl asked him to win the championship in a martial arts competition, which was really too much!
Perhaps, there was an intention to let him retreat in the face of difficulties.
If Arthur doesn't know the bounds of the world and insists on competing in martial arts, which makes him look embarrassed, then he can't be blamed.
Allen accompanied his depressed sister back to his residence to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as I sat down in the living room, I heard a knock on the door.
Allen stood up and opened the door.
A thin figure stood outside the door, wearing a cloak.
The hood of the cloak was pulled down low, covering the face with shadow.
"Who are you!" Alan asked warily.
The cloaked man remained silent, seeming to be wary of the huge man in front of him.
Kelly heard the noise and came over.
The cloaked man moved two steps sideways.
His gaze passed through the door that was almost blocked by Allen and landed on the baron's handsome face. His eyes changed from vigilance to joy.
"Arthur, your guards don't seem to recognize me."
The cloaked man's voice was soft and sweet, like an oriole.
He took off his hood with his backhand, revealing a delicate face.
A skinny little girl in a snow-white dress.
Wearing high heels, she is less than 1.5 meters tall.
The chest is slightly swollen and looks like a primary school student.
"Lily!"
Kelly recognized her fiancée at a glance through the memory of her ancestral spirit.
Allen rubbed his nose and stepped aside knowingly.
Lily trotted excitedly and threw herself into her fiancé's arms.
Lily, the youngest daughter of Count Lancer, is frail but extremely smart.
Lily is deeply in love with her fiancé Arthur, and is also Arthur's twin sister Anna's best friend.
Kelly merged with Anna's ancestral spirit, but met Lily as Arthur.
Allen could see that her sister was not quite used to the complicated identity she played.
Holding petite Lily in her arms, I didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Lily noticed that her lover was unusually silent, and thought that he was angry with the count and was taking his anger out on her.
He sighed and spoke quietly.
"Arthur, maybe you don't believe it, but I still have to say..."
"My father and my eldest brother did have the idea of regretting their marriage."
"But I personally swear to the ancestors that I have no such intention!"
"Arthur, I know you have been wronged, but please don't blame me, okay?"
"These days, I am also trying every possible means to save the engagement."
"Please believe me, my dear, if we work together, we will definitely break through obstacles and gain happiness!"
"If you want to give up, I...I don't want to live anymore!"
As she spoke, the Countess couldn't help but choke up.
Kelly couldn't bear it when she saw her crying.
Holding her hand, he said softly: "Lily, don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Then, he cast a majestic glance at his younger brother.
"Alan, close the door and don't let outsiders break in."
"As you command! My lord!"
Allen closed the door and bolted it, and stood guard at the door with his hands on his hips.
He raised his ears and looked alert, like a gangster.
Lily took the handkerchief handed to her by her fiancé and wiped her tears.
He raised his head and glanced at Allen, unable to hide the fear in his eyes.
"Arthur, is Alan your squire? I've never seen him before."
"Not just a servant, but also my lifelong friend and half-brother!"
Kelly looked serious.
"Dear, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it. Allen is strict enough and absolutely reliable."
"He is so tall, as strong as a bear, so scary!"
Lily whispered, secretly looking at Allen.
"She's not ugly. Of course, she's far worse than you."
Kelly smiled considerately.
"Although he may look tall and tall, he is actually gentle, kind and very chivalrous at heart."
Lily stole a glance at Allen, dubious about her fiancé's evaluation.
"Arthur, do you know why my father is so cold towards you and even intends to regret his marriage?" The countess returned to the topic.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with my uncle who has a disobedient heart."
Kelly picked up the tea cup and answered calmly.
Lily nodded and said softly: "Your uncle, General Gondolf, has long planned to rebel and usurp the throne."
"You have been hiding it before, and it wasn't until your father passed away that you exposed your ambition."
"A month ago, Gondolf sent a special envoy to secretly meet with my father, presented him with a generous gift, and asked him to remain neutral in the power struggle in Mulan Province. After the event is completed, he will be thanked heavily."
"My father is still hesitating. He is worried that you are too young and have no foundation to win against General Gondorff, who is used to bloodshed."
"What's more, most of the army in Mulan Province is in the hands of Gandalf..."
"My eldest brother Leon, as you know, has no brains and is only aggressive and competitive."
"Two times before, you refused to participate in the knight competition hosted by Leon. Leon felt that you were deliberately trying to refute his face and called you a sissy and a coward when you met everyone..."
"So, Leon doesn't expect you to secure your position as lord either."
"Huh!" Kelly slammed the table angrily and knocked over the tea cup.
Lily quickly hugged her lover's arms, her face full of sadness.
"Arthur, don't be angry! No matter what others do, I will always be on your side."
Kelly held her hand and naturally entered the role, with deep affection in her eyes.
