"Whatever you are looking at, give me a good training!"
Seeing that his soldiers couldn't stop looking at the two girls, a knight in charge of training couldn't help but angrily yelled.
Although he also watched it himself, he was the captain and did not need to concentrate on training at this time, so why did he take a peek?
On the contrary, these soldiers dared to be distracted while he was commanding training. If this is not allowed, they must be severely punished.
"Practice for an extra hour today!"
.........
Not to mention the wailing soldiers everywhere on the other side, Lu Qing and Irene walked all the way to the old man wearing knight armor.
"Are you His Highness Lu Qing?" the old man asked, looking at Lu Qing who was walking in front of him.
"Yes." Lu Qing nodded, and then asked: "Are you Knight Myron Zahad?"
"Well, it's me." Myron Zahad nodded, and then said: "I heard from my soldiers that it was His Majesty the King who asked you to deliver a message to me?"
"Yes, this is your letter."
Lu Qing took out the letter sent to her by the king from her arms, handed it to Myron Zahad and said.
"Well, it hasn't been opened..." Knight Myron took the letter from Lu Qing and thought as he looked at the unopened marks on it.
"She looks so much like the queen. It seems that she is indeed the princess." Myron glanced at Lu Qing's hair again and thought.
After opening the letter, Myron took out a folded piece of white paper and slowly unfolded it.
In the lower right corner is the king's autograph and royal seal. This thing cannot be faked. With the strength of Myron's legendary knight, every detail of the seal can be seen clearly.
The reason why he was surprised that the letter had not been opened was that Lu Qing could actually open the letter and show the royal seal inside to the soldier guarding the door.
In this way, the other party will definitely let her in, but the content in the letter may be exposed.
Well, it doesn't matter even if the contents of this letter are exposed.
It should be regarded as a test for the king to his daughter. Knight Myron was also very satisfied with the answer sheet Lu Qing handed over.
That's what's on the letter......
"Good boy, why do you need the princess to deliver the letter in person? I'm retired and I still have to work for your royal family, right?" Knight Myron looked at the content of the letter and laughed out loud as he read it.
"retire?"
Lu Qing looked at Knight Myron in confusion, and understood after noticing the gray hair on his head and the wrinkles on his cheeks.
Indeed, looking at the appearance of Myron Knight, one can tell that the opponent must be very old, and it is normal for him to want to retire.
However, why does it always feel weird when the first knight of the kingdom retires?
Also, what does it mean to continue working for the royal family after retirement?
Just when Lu Qing was confused, the Myron knight in front of her suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging on his waist, startling her and making her take two steps back.
If she hadn't been wearing a princess dress and not carrying a weapon, she might not have just pulled out the weapon.
"Haha, don't be nervous. Didn't the king tell you the content of the letter?" Knight Myron said with a smile.
"No, no." Lu Qing thought for a moment, and Knight Myron probably wouldn't do anything to her, so she stopped looking like she was about to run away.
Of course, secretly she was ready to escape. The first knight of the kingdom, who knows how powerful he would be.
"I didn't say that."
Myron touched the beard on his chin, then without saying anything else, he knelt down on one knee and raised the unsheathed knight's sword with both hands.
"I will swear on my sword and my life, my princess."
"I will remember humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirit, honesty, and justice."
"I will be your sharp sword and cut off all obstacles for you. I will be your shield and will never retreat until I shed the last drop of blood."
"My loyalty, my soul, and the sharp blade in my hand will be wielded only for you. I put it here. The holy tree bless it to be always sharp. Its owner will never bow its head, and it will never be broken.
"
"..."
Lu Qing's brain was at a loss for a moment, and then she realized what it was.
After hesitating for a moment, she gracefully took the sword from Knight Myron's hand with both hands.
[Noble etiquette lv9-lv10]
The diary in her mind started to vibrate, which ruined the atmosphere, and told her the news that the noble etiquette skills had been upgraded.
"Well, that's good." Knight Myron returned to his previous appearance and stood up.
"So what's going on?" Lu Qing looked at Myron Knight and asked.
"Well...can you please return my sword to me first, Your Highness Princess?" Knight Myron looked at the knight's sword in Lu Qing's hand and said.
"According to what you just said, this sword is mine now." Lu Qing said with a wink.
Myron: "......"
"That's what all the knights said when they swore allegiance to the nobles. I just acted according to the rules. It's a common saying, you know." Myron coughed twice and said softly.
"I don't care. Anyway, you said so. Myron Zahad, the first knight of the dignified kingdom, will not go back on his words, keep his words, and bully me, a child." Lu Qing said excitedly.
"Forehead........."
Myron's lips twitched, wondering why this kid doesn't know how to respect the elderly.
After thinking about it, he handed the letter that the king had given him to Lu Qing before and said seriously: "Dear Princess, this sword is very important to me. Can you give it to me as a gift?"
"As for your questions, please read this letter. You will know everything after reading it."
"Well, since you are so loyal, I will give you this sword as a gift." Lu Qing also understood the character of Knight Myron at this time and said.
Myron Zahad, on the surface, looks like a sturdy old man, but his personality is a bit out of character.
However, when he was doing business seriously, he was still quite majestic and charming. When he took the oath before, Lu Qing could tell that the other party was serious.
This is one of the reasons why she took over the knight's sword.
As for other reasons...
In order to promote the plot, the allegiance of the first knight of the kingdom is more attractive, so there are some. Anyway, Lu Qing feels that it is not a big loss.
After returning the knight's sword to the other party, Lu Qing took the letter from Myron's hand and read it carefully.
After reading the letter, she realized the reason why Myron suddenly became loyal to her.
Just as she had guessed before, Myron Zahad, the first knight of the kingdom, was retiring from the kingdom's knighthood due to his increasing age and internal injuries caused by years of fighting.
These reasons are very reasonable, and the king does not want to refuse. It is just a question of what Myron Zahad will do after retirement.
At the beginning, it was originally planned that Myron Zahad would do nothing and live comfortably on his own pension.
As a result, Meron felt that he had nothing to do every day, so he went to the king and asked to go to the army to train new soldiers.
Of course, the king happily agreed to this, but within two months, Myron wrote a letter saying that the arrangements in the military camp were almost complete, and that he had nothing to do and wanted to find a new job.
Well, the requirements are not high. It is best to be the kind that is relatively leisurely, but not doing nothing. Oh, by the way, not doing groceries.
Good guy, the king was very happy when he saw it. Your demands are not high.
But he thought about it and thought of a good mission.
That is to be the princess's escort knight, so the scene just happened.
"Guard knight..." Lu Qing glanced at Myron and felt that it would be good to have one of the strongest knights in the kingdom as his guard.
