Act 84: Freya's Letter (The second update, so stay tuned)

At that moment, time froze.

The young viscount was covered in cold sweat, and it took almost all his strength to squeeze out a sentence: "You...... What do you want to do? ”

The Emerald Knight pointed to the long strip of wrap behind him - he meant it clearly, the sword on your body.

"You asked me to bring this sword—" Tester took a breath, and he gasped heavily, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

At the last word, the young viscount almost roared

Tester had never been teased like this since he was a child, and he felt that he was now so humiliated as a little girl who had been toyed with, and he felt that it was better to be killed by the other party with a sword than to play dumb riddles with this monster.

But as soon as he saw the cavalry captain who was turned into a stone statue not far from him, Taist still subconsciously fought a cold war

The Emerald Knight's face was expressionless—and certainly not visible on its cold mask—and he gestured to the long strip behind Test's back, then pressed his chest.

The young viscount saw what the other party meant, and the other party asked him to hand over the sword to him.

But what kind of kidding is that?

If he handed over his sword, how could he explain it to the other councillors and senators in the Unification of All Things? It was not easy for him to gain the attention of the upper echelons of the Society of All Things to One because of this task, otherwise the other party would not have sent a whole team of elite cavalry to protect him.

But now he not only lost these cavalry, but probably lost this important thing. This has to be investigated, no matter what his identity is in the Unification of All Things, he may not be able to eat and walk around.

Although he is the Son, he is not the only Son.

Tester gasped heavily, and he looked at the Emerald Knight with red eyes viciously, as if trying to see something loose in the other man's face; It's a pity that, as mentioned earlier, there is no expression on the cold helmet.

The young viscount thought about it for a moment, and he had no doubt that if he refused, the other party would immediately turn himself into a stone statue.

Although he didn't understand why the Emerald Knight let him go three times and twice, to say that the other party had no reason to keep him alone, and the other party could kill him and take the Lionheart Sword - but the other party did not do that, but gave him a choice.

Is it just for fun?

But this is clearly unrealistic.

Thinking of this, Tester looked at the other party suspiciously, and after hesitating for a while, he finally made a difficult decision. The young man reached behind his back, untied the long strip, and threw it to the other man.

"Why don't you kill me?" At the same time, he asked.

The Emerald Knight stooped down and picked up the Lionheart from the ground, as if he wasn't at all afraid that Tester would sneak up on him—or that he wouldn't be afraid of sneaking up at all—and this attitude made the young viscount take a deep breath, but he still suppressed the opportunity to strike.

The monster showed such incredible strength that he couldn't resist at all. Of course, he didn't resist, but the result was a fiasco, and he had already experienced this feeling once on the island in the middle of the lake.

Then the Emerald Knight looked up at Test.

"You are not willing to accept fate, but you are willing to bow to the other side?" The Emerald Knight asked.

It was the first time Tester had ever heard the Knight of the Lake speak, and the other man's voice was humming under his helmet so that he could not hear men, women, or children.

"Which side?" Tester frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes with a dark green fire.

The young viscount was also out of the way, and the big deal was to die here anyway - he didn't even think about the punishment of the One Thing - he handed over his sword here just to find out why the monster had been so with him.

"It is understandable to be full of rebellion against the world, but to be taken advantage of by others because of this is foolishness," replied the Emerald Knight.

"You mean that all things will be one?" Tester asked, "I'm just using them." ”

"Weak—" The emerald knight picked up his sword and turned to the river, dropping a word. Tester watched motionlessly as the odd knight walked to the stone bridge before throwing the lionheart sword in his hand into the icy water.

At that moment, he almost thought that the other party was crazy, but immediately he calmed down again.

What does it have to do with him whether the other party is crazy or not?

But the last words of the Lake Knight echoed in his mind - weakness? Tester felt that he was indeed weak, but he suddenly smiled bitterly, and he couldn't help but think about how he should deal with the punishment of the One Thing.

He looked up again to see the culprit who had caused him trouble.

But the emerald knight was long gone.

……

For a girl like Freya from the countryside of Buchi, life seemed to be faster in the Royal Knight Academy than in other places, and the dead leaves on the trees seemed to have been dyed golden red only yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, they were already bare.

It was a break between trainings, and the future Valkyrie sat alone on the stone steps in a daze.

The girl rested her chin on the hilt of her sword, wrapped her hands around the sword, and looked at the blue-black mountain shadow in the distance outside the academy. When she saw the bare shadows of the trees, she realized that winter was coming—it had been nearly half a year since she had been here

The girl thought a little distractedly.

The change in mentality made her almost ignore the changes around her, with the summer leaves luxuriant, the autumn leaves red, and the winter leaves withered, and the year passed like this.

And her daily life became as boring as an ascetic, and in order to become stronger, she almost pushed off a qiē activity. Every day was a cycle of training, resting, training, resting, and the future Valkyrie was almost desperate to reach her goal.

She felt like she couldn't even say if it was for the sake of everyone at Buche or just because of what the young man expected of her. But every time she thought of Brando's gentle and concerned gaze, Freya's heart pounded, as if she couldn't breathe.

Sometimes she felt that she was so embarrassed by this, but she couldn't get rid of the shadow of the other party.

"Brando, Brando......"

She unconsciously pronounced the name, not noticing that a person had come to her. Then the future Valkyrie lady was startled, and looked up—she saw the black-haired and shawl-clothed knight standing in front of her with her sword pressed and her face stern—and her face turned red.

Freya stood up a little confused, and for a moment she didn't know where to put her hand.

"What's wrong?" Nimesis tilted her head to look at her.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......" Freya replied with her head down, unconscious, and she didn't think she would believe it.

But the stern knight did not rebuke her as she usually did, and asked her why she was not alert at all.

She walked over and put her hand on her forehead without saying a word, her palms cold—an intimate gesture that made Freya froze for a moment, and frightened the future Valkyrie into running away—but she froze at the sight of Nimesis' dark, concerned eyes.

"Homesick?" Nimesis lowered her hand, with no expression on her face, but asked in a somewhat low tone.

"No ......" Freya shook her head, but suddenly nodded again. She thought that if she didn't follow the other person's words, it would be really difficult to explain what she was doing there before.

"Freya, what a fool you're -- " She scolded herself in her heart: "You can't lie, that guy can lie without blushing and not beating his heart"

Nimesis sighed when she saw the young lady in front of her again, and probably guessed what the other party was thinking. But she didn't ask much, but put her hand under her shawl and took out a letter:

"His letter."

"Brando's letter?" Freya was stunned for a moment, then blurted out. But she immediately realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously covered her mouth - it was a bit of a cover-up.

A smile flashed across Nimesis's expressionless face, the first time Freya had seen her smile, "Is it called Brando, lucky fellow—"

"Luck...... What a lucky ......" Freya lowered her head, feeling that the roots of her ears were about to burn, and she defended herself in a voice so thin that she could barely hear it, but she hurried to take the letter, looking cautious.

At this time, the two of them heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage, and the abrupt sound sounded from outside the avenue on the side of the academy, but at this time, few people had returned from outside. Both of them were attracted by the sound and turned their heads in unison.

They then saw a white carriage, like a ghost, breaking through the morning fog and slowly driving into the academy. Then it slowly passed a short distance from the two of them, and entered the depths of the academy - in that direction Freya knew that it was the residence of Her Royal Highness, guarded by the knights of the royal family, and ordinary people could not enter.

"That's ......," she whispered.

Nimesis saw the shield-shaped article on the carriage, and the violets on it were so eye-catching, she looked at it for a while, and then turned back and said, "The man from Lantonilan is another lucky fellow." ”

The tone of the female knight was a little unkind.

"How?" Freya was stunned.

"It's nothing," Nimesis shook her head, her long beautiful black hair had always made Freya envious, "You just focus on your own business, Freya, you are making rapid progress, don't be discouraged-"

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

The female knight paused for a moment, then remembered something: "By the way, did that guy come to you again after that?" ”

Freya was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the second son of the Count of Beckberg, and she had cut off contact with her since Nimesis reminded her, but she did not expect that the other party would gather a group of people to trouble her.

As a result, the knightess later learned about it, and she personally intervened to teach those people a lesson, and the second son of the Count of Beckberg was almost expelled from the academy for it.

However, the matter was later settled, and Freya, although she was a little ignorant, probably knew that this was the result of a compromise. But she was already grateful, compared to herself, she was just a civilian.

But what is the purpose of bringing it up now?

She looked up at Nimesis in confusion.

(PS. I don't know how many changes there are today, guys, let's play a quiz game.)
