This was the corridor of the royal palace, where Walter and several others lived as the princess's guests.

In order to find the cultivation method of the secret sword from Felik, Walter came to this place again after a lapse of five years.

Looking at the familiar corridors and gardens, she had a special "strangeness".

"It's the same as it was at the beginning."

I never thought that I would come back when I left the imperial capital, I thought that when I came back again, it would be the time to overthrow the rule of the empire, but I didn't expect to return here again for this reason.

Walking through the promenade, the surrounding maids walked by one by one, but no one recognized her.

It seems that the outrageous legend of that year has gradually been forgotten with the passage of time.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Walter's mouth, and he said to himself: "That's fine, if I am recognized, it will make me even more distressed." ”

Walter walked slowly forward, habitually turning a corner, and suddenly a familiar figure came into her eyes.

It's him?

Walter's thin lips suddenly tightened, his pupils contracted slightly, and a complicated look appeared on his face.

The man not far in front walked slowly towards this side, he talked to the minister of affairs as he walked, Junxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, it seemed that the matter discussed was very troublesome, and before he knew it, the distance between Walter and the other party quickly narrowed.

Walter turned to leave, but the man behind her spotted her.

"Walter?"

It's a tentative greeting, and the other party hasn't recognized himself yet, so it's too late to leave.

Walter said to himself in his heart, thinking as he sped up a little on his feet.

Quickly rounding the corner, she hurried in the direction she had come from.

"Walter? Is Walter you?! Please wait a moment! ”

There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and the other party was trotting towards him.

It seems that this time there is no way to hide.

With a distressed and complicated expression on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, and she slowed down to let the other party catch up with her.

"Sure enough, it's you! Long time no see, Walter! ”

The voice of the person who spoke was magnetic and gentle, and even without turning around, he could feel the nobility of the other person, and the man with Walter's back was obviously very much looking forward to meeting her.

"Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Turning around, smiling, leaning over slightly and putting his right hand to his heart, he respectfully greeted the other party.

At this time, there was no trace of distress on her face, and there was only respect and obedience left in her eyes, which made people feel that the act of running away just now was just an illusion, as if she didn't run away at all, but didn't hear the other party's shouts at all.

The man in front of him was handsome, tall and straight, his gentle eyes and calm smile made him look so approachable, he was the prince of the empire, the eldest son of His Majesty the King - Elbert.

The minister beside him glanced at Walter and let out a cold snort of disdain, then looked away and urged, "Your Highness, we still have a lot of things to deal with. ”

"Wait a minute."

Apparently Elbert did not intend to go along with the Chancellor's wishes.

"Your Highness!" The other party urged again.

Seeing this, Walter also hurriedly echoed: "Your Highness, I will stay in the royal city for a while, and I will have a chance to meet in the future, now you go and go about your own business first." ”

The Secretary of State glanced at Walter coldly, and that look seemed to say, "You know each other."

Walter can naturally understand the other party's attitude, after all, as long as she remembers what she did back then, she will not give her a good look.

In the eyes of those people, she was not a knight at all, but a depraved, unfaithful, and bottomless woman.

Now Walter only hoped that the disgusting face in front of her would quickly disappear from her vision.

On the other hand, Elbert ignored the advice of the two, and not only ignored them directly, but ordered the ministers around him in a very stern tone.

"You go down first, I'm going to talk to Walter for a while, and I'll be coming to you soon."

The stern look and cold order left the Minister of Affairs with no room for persuasion, and the only thing he could do was to glare at Walter and walk away.

"Walter, you're hurt!" Elbert keenly noticed the bandage around the other party's waist: "Are you okay?" ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's almost well, and there is no problem at all." Walter replied.

Although Walter's response was very decent and polite, Elbert's eyes suddenly dimmed, the corners of his mouth raised an arc helplessly, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and sighed: "Walter, haven't you forgotten that incident back then?" ”

Bastard, how could you forget! It's obvious that you betrayed me, but now you are putting on a pitiful look that you want to forgive!

As the other party brought up the past, the resentment and anger that had been buried deep in Walter's heart erupted again, and the dam of reason that had been built for a long time was almost broken.

Almost.

She almost expressed her true emotion, but in the end she endured it, the anger and resentment in her eyes flashed, and she showed a puzzled expression.

"His Royal Highness the Prince refers to...... Which thing? ”

Hearing this, Elbert was stunned and showed a wry smile.

"I know you won't forget, it was me who was wrong back then, if...... If I had been braver, it wouldn't have been like that. ”

The other party's sincere apology does not feel a little hypocritical, and the guilt and sadness in the words can be clearly felt even by others.

But in Walter's ears, the apology was so disgusting, that the man in front of him was no different from that time, and the apparent gentleness and kindness could not hide the rancid and humble personality in him.

Five years later, Walter can still feel the disgusting falsehood of the other party.

Obviously a hypocritical and cowardly guy who has no responsibility! still has the face to bring up this matter again in front of her, does this person really think that what he did back then can be forgiven?

Never!

I will never forgive you!

The dignity of the individual, the honor of the family, has all collapsed because of your words, and now you want to eliminate my hatred with this verbal apology?

"Don't be naïve!"

"What? Other...... Don't be naïve? Elbert looked at Walter in disbelief.

At this time, Walter reacted, he actually said what was in his heart just now, although there was only the last game, but this sentence alone was already very troublesome.

Walter laughed twice and shrugged his shoulders with pretending to be relaxed: "Your Highness, I mean five years have passed, and if it was that incident, I didn't care at all." ”

"Yes...... Is it? Elbert: "But I ruined your reputation, can you forgive me?" ”

You can use it!

This despicable prince can be exploited! If he can trust himself, it will also be of great benefit to the growth of the revolutionary army.

Walter felt that this was a good opportunity, and a perfect statement gradually emerged in her mind, and the corners of her mouth outlined a strange and unpredictable arc, and she stared at the other party, and slowly spoke.

"Although my reputation is gone, it will be forgotten by people as time passes, but your loyalty to Your Highness will be remembered by you, and I believe that on that day, I have earned your trust. The most important thing for a knight is not the honor and dignity of the knight, but the loyalty to the master, it doesn't matter if you are misunderstood, as long as the master can understand the loyalty of the knight, then everything is worth it. ”

Elbert was stunned, then surprised, and finally excited.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, just looked at Walter anxiously.

Walter smiled slightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, what saddened me the most back then was not Your Highness's lies, but your persistence in me beyond common sense, now that you have been relieved, there is nothing to do." ”

As soon as these words came out, Elbert's face showed a hint of disappointment, and his eyes darkened slightly.

The change in the other party's expression was all seen by Walter, and it was obvious that Elbert still cared very much about herself, so that she could take advantage of the other party more easily.

Since the temptation had been successful, it was useless to stay here any longer, and when Walter was about to leave, two more men walked around the corner of the corridor.

Walter saw at a glance that one of them was Felik, and was about to say hello when she noticed the woman next to Felik, whose familiar style of dressing and unchanging appearance made Walter recognize the other party at the first time.

Walter was shocked.

Why?

Why is Felik with the head of the Seven Gods?!
