Chapter 37: Eclipse Night

In the dark of night, a long convoy camped on the side of the mountain road.

Strangely, the flame dragon banner raised high above was still hunting, but there was not even a breeze near the convoy below, and the flames in the small fire that was about to burn out did not disturb in the slightest.

"Will, it's time for a changing of the guard. ”

Seeing the moon on the mountain, an old knight stuck his head into the carriage and shouted to the knight who was sleeping inside.

"Got it. ”

The knight, who was called Will, seemed to have slept lightly, and had already sat up after only a slight noise.

"Hey, fortunately, the wind and snow have not been strong in the past few days, otherwise we would have suffered with Her Royal Highness the Northwest Trip. Sitting on the edge of the carriage, the old knight began to remove his armor.

As he spoke, Will had already put on soft armor and jumped out of the carriage with a knight's sword, and this Will, who looked to be about thirty years old, actually glanced at the Flame Dragon Banner that was hunting, but he didn't feel a trace of wind around him, and he didn't even feel too cold, and he suddenly felt very weird.

You know, this is northwest of Ora, and he himself grew up in the cold city of Lela.

Needless to say, the cold of the night in the northwest was a vivid memory of his parents, who had both frozen to death by the snow.

His sister was willing to sell herself in exchange for food, which allowed him to survive, and after his sister also fell ill and died, he had to join the army to eat.

After more than ten years of hard work, with three points of ruthlessness, three points of caution, and four points of luck, he has mixed into the position of canonized knight, although this position is not high, but at least it is a nobleman, the lowest level of nobleman.

Maybe it's because he is unwilling to spend his life numbly, when that man finds him to help with something and promises a good revenge.

He accepted it without hesitation.

Even if you know that there is a good chance that you will not return, what does it matter?

A vigorous death is always better than a muddy life that can be "sung".

Will shook his head, a little unsure when this strange thought had crossed his mind

"Remember to add fire to avoid frostbite... Well, although it's not too cold today either......"

The old knight gave a word of advice, and climbed into the car, and in a few moments the deafening snoring was heard.

Will stood in front of the fire, glanced at the fluttering flame dragon flag again, took out the dagger with some concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the dagger was not unusual.

"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"

Another strange thought popped into my head.

He obviously hadn't thought about it, but these strange thoughts couldn't help but burst out from the bottom of his heart, as if he was forced to comply.

Shaking his head vigorously and taking in a breath of cold air, Will looked at the long convoy and saw that almost every fire was about to go out, and it seemed that most of the sentries who were on guard in the second half of the night today were people with the same mission as him.

Thinking that he was not alone, he couldn't help but relax a little, and even felt that this task might be easily completed, because the target was just a weak aristocratic girl.

But then he dispelled such thoughts, and with his years of experience and perception, he told himself that today's task should not be so simple.

After a while, the fire around the convoy was completely extinguished.

It's time to implement the plan.

In a short time, in the darkness at the rear of the convoy, some large men in soft armor like Will began to emerge from the darkness.

They walked cautiously and barely made any sound.

Will joins the group after they pass by, but he's more important than they are, because he has the dagger, and if the woman is really what the man says, then he's the only one who can kill her today.

As the number of people grew, they seemed to become a group of ghostly ghosts, silently floating through the convoy.

Perhaps thinking that the moonlight was too bright, Will glanced back at the bright moon, and it suddenly seemed to him to be a huge eye, which could see all their whereabouts.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no turning back from the bow, even if the road ahead is dangerous, I have to go on.

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry?"

In the warm carriage, Jin Yu hurriedly flew in through the window, and then suddenly transformed into a human and threw himself into Freya's arms.

"My magic is gone!" Rushing between the two mountains, Jin Yu was a little out of breath.

Draping a garment over Golden Feather's body, Freya cupped her head and asked, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me right there?

"Oh no, Rafa has been attacked by the Assassins!" he gasped for a moment before Jin Yu said nervously.

"Rafa was assassinated, how is he, is he still alive?"

"He's still alive, but it's almost like dead. Seeing that Freya was not too nervous, Jin Yu was not nervous anymore, and began to take the hot tea on the table and drink it.

"What the hell is going on?" Freya sat up straight, the surging in her chest bursting out.

"He's been attacked, he's been in a coma since healed the witch, and now, it's over...... It's been almost twenty days, and if it weren't for Sister Frey's help, he might never wake up. Jin Yu took a sip of hot tea and picked up another biscuit.

"That's ......," Freya leaned back into the soft pillows, as if to deduce what had happened, "if he were the same Rafa as before, I wouldn't have saved him, but after listening to your description, maybe it would be more worthwhile to save him." ”

"I also hope that Sister Frey can save him!"

"What's the matter? what do you like about him again?" said Freya, holding out her hand and rubbing it against her blonde head.

"Not really, although his cakes are delicious...... Ahem, I mean Sister Audrey," Jin Yu paused, and then said, "After Rafa fell into a coma, Sister Audair seemed to be very unhappy. ”

"Audele...... Not happy?"

Speaking of Audele, Freya had a complicated look in her eyes, "In order to compensate you, I pulled you out of the ugly family struggle and arranged you to Rafa's side, I didn't expect you to be really loyal to Rafa...... Maybe it's something else?"

Then, she continued to fall into the memories.

That was many years ago, when the Queen was out playing with Freya, that is, when she became the "Son of Heaven".

Audele's parents are the queen and the guardian knight of "Freya" respectively.

In the firelight, Audele's parents disappeared without a trace, and Freya, who was calm, pushed away Audrey, who was holding her, and voluntarily fell into the cliff.

This was known only to Audair and herself, and no one else, not even Rafah, whom Audrey had sworn allegiance to.

After Freya miraculously survives, Audrey, who aspires to be a knight, promises to be her guardian knight, but she refuses.

Freya remembers saying to Audrey, "You should pursue your own life, not be a vassal of someone else." ”

It's a pity that as the daughter of the Light Shield family, there is no reason to become a knight?

So she ended up being a knight.

But the person she swore allegiance to was far from what she imagined, but she was very stubborn, and even if her master was a fool whom everyone spurned, she still stood silently behind him.

It's just that now, the stupid guy she is loyal to has suddenly opened up, and it has become her ideal appearance, so can she cherish it?

But until now, Audair still doesn't understand how she became Rafa's guardian knight in the first place.

"Sister Frey, there seemed to be a lot of people outside when I came in just now, and they seemed to have broken magic stones in their hands, and they didn't even have my transformation magic. Hurriedly shoving the biscuits into his mouth, Jin Yu complained.

"Hmm~~~" Freya raised her hand and stretched, then lifted the curtain to let the moonlight shine in.

"These poor creatures, why do you have to do it at night? Or do you think that if you have a broken magic stone, you think it is foolproof?"

"But isn't it the same during the day?" Jin Yu asked suspiciously.

With a faint smile, Freya untied the hairpin on the top of her head, and her soft and shiny hair suddenly fell down, "That's what I said, I'm going to sleep, Jin Yu, don't go out." ”

"Got it. ”

After saying that, Freya really covered her head and fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was clear, the red morning sun had dyed the unmelted snow golden red, and the long convoy began to bury the pot again, and wisps of cooking smoke rose.

And the knights who rebelled last night didn't seem to make any waves at all, or even as if nothing had happened, everything was so peaceful and calm, no different from the previous morning.

Nothing but the chief knight came to report that some had defected.

This is not the first time this has happened.

But every knight in the convoy knew very well that as long as they were loyal to Her Royal Highness, there would definitely be no one among the disappeared people, and even when they went to the battlefield, they would often survive intact.

Even if some people have heard that rumor, but everyone knows it, don't talk too much, don't even speculate too much, as if everything has its established laws, not something you can change with a few words, or it is not your turn to ponder, you just need to abide by it, and you don't need to do superfluous things.

After being served by the maids and dressed up, Freya stepped out of the carriage in a plain white robe.

Tall and tall, she faced the red morning sun, and the same delicate shadow was stretched out.

"Your Highness, this was picked up this morning. ”

He hadn't taken a few steps before the chief knight walked over, holding a shining dagger in both hands.

Freya glanced at it, didn't take it, just reached out and slid her slender fingers across the blade.

"Your Highness, this dagger looks sharp......," the chief knight reminded.

However, Freya did not heed her advice and continued to swipe her fingers.

Sure enough, after a few strokes, the extremely sharp dagger cut a bloody streak on her finger and began to drip blood.

"Well, you've drunk my blood, and you're already a famous dagger. With a chuckle, Freya withdrew her hand, "Find a scabbard and put it on, I'll give it to Audrey." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Looking in the direction of the sunrise, Freya couldn't help but exhale white air like a little girl.

"Rafa, what have you become to charm the arrogant and stubborn Ao Dai?"
