(Said to be a good single chapter of Arian Hurd, but it seems to have collapsed hahahaha, and he ran away with the lid on the pot)

Arian Hurd walked out of Desmond's door, the chill on his face that sent the battle-hardened knight shuddering. However, she did not stop her steps because of this, but braved the wind and snow in the sky, and continued to walk towards the boundless darkness.

Behind him, the shouts of the three Dubari were heard, but Arian Hurd rarely ignored them.

Today, it's Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve.

The female knight exhaled and watched as it condensed into a cloud of white mist in the cold. Christmas Eve, what a familiar and distant term. Since she left England, she hasn't spent the holiday with anyone.

The men of the mercenary group are in awe of her. The three of Du Barry admired her. obviously wanted to get close to her, but subconsciously kept a distance from her.

"Huh."

Thinking of this, the young female knight laughed at herself. What Christmas Eve, the precarious life of mercenaries, there are gold coins, and every day is a festival. If there are no gold coins, then every day is a burning night.

Gold coins, the source of all evil. Gold coins, a qiē for salvation.

The snowflakes fell silently on Arian Herd's solemn face, and gradually turned into snow. Arian Hurd looked up at the elves in the dark night, and her mind went back to that winter night many years ago

It was also Christmas Eve, a night of heavy snowfall.

On that day, admiring the heroism of the knights, she finally obtained the permission of a good knight. Allow her to maintain his armor for him after he falls asleep.

As she ecstatically cleaned the stains from the armor, she remembered that her titular father, who had never looked at her squarely. Suddenly, with a smile, he appeared in front of her. The gorgeously dressed man with a golden ring on his head touched her long golden hair, and his eyes were full of approval.

And her mother, dressed in a dirty maid's outfit, was smiling humbly.

"What's your name, let me think about it, by the way, it's Arian Hurd, right?"

"Hmm."

Young Arian Heard didn't seem to see the eagerness in his mother's eyes behind the man. To the man's questioning, she just nodded indifferently, without the slightest honor of being questioned by a duke.

The man was obviously not as much as his mother thought, and he seemed extremely self-contained. For Arian Hurd's coldness, he just laughed it off.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect you to be so old and time flies so fast." The man sighed, his dark eyes tinged with an incomprehensible exhaustion in his eyes, but soon, the man stroked her hair and laughed again.

"At this age, it's time to get married."

For some reason, the noble duke needed some cooperation with another equally noble nobleman. But it is clear that they both lack trust in the other.

At this time, marriage becomes a proven choice that both parties recognize.

But at this time, the Duke began to be troubled. Although he has many children under his knees. But because of the uninterrupted political activities over the years, they have already started a family. The Duke was bothered by this, and this cooperation was really important to him.

He was in the position of duke and had been in it for many years. He's tired of it, and it's time to move around.

The Duke thought so.

Then, one day, while he was patrolling his castle, he saw Arian Hurd, who was brushing his horse.

The resonance of the blood played a role at this time, and for this strange and beautiful girl, the Duke suddenly became interested: "Who is she?" ”

The butler who had been with the Duke for many years looked at Arian Hurd, who was completely unaware, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he still replied honestly: "Your Excellency, she is your daughter. ”

So, there is the current scene.

To be sure, the man was very handsome, with an elegant temperament, and a kind of calmness peculiar to a scholar. Especially when he laughed, the incomparable charm was even more incomprehensible to how many lonely ladies had fallen: "My daughter, it's time for you to get married." With my sincerity, let's bring back the friendship of that adult. ”

Arian Hurd looked at the man in front of him and said nothing.

The man was also very patient, and he didn't force the girl in front of him, just looked at her quietly.

"I refuse."

The smile on the man's face disappeared silently.

"My daughter, you should know who you are talking to. Perhaps, I was just getting older, and I didn't hear what my daughter was saying to me clearly. You say yes, Arian Hurd? ”

"My daughter."

"I want to be a knight."

Arian Hurd's answer really surprised the man. After all, the empire has been around for more than a thousand years. In ancient times, those nobles with swords, together with His Majesty the Emperor, fought in all directions, which has long become a myth. Despite the various means used by the upper echelons of the empire, the empire has always tried to maintain the tradition of imperial martial arts. But it is undeniable that the number of nobles willing to learn martial arts is still decreasing year by year.

"Anger?"

Arian Hurd stretched out her little hand, and a gray mist bloomed in her hand.

A child who is willing to endure hardships and learn anger is worth the effort to cultivate. Personally, His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate always looked down on the nobles who would be angry. As far as the family is concerned, the tenacity cultivated in learning anger is also very beneficial to the leadership of the family. And if the head of the house is also well-versed in anger, it will be easier for the knights to follow.

Thinking of this, even the duke, who had always been resolute, began to hesitate.

But in the end, years of long-cherished wishes triumphed over reason. This cooperation is really important to him.

After all, Arian Heard is just an illegitimate daughter without any name. And if she was angry, the meaning would be completely different. Presumably that guy can better appreciate his sincerity.

"You're good. With my sincerity, go and bring back the friendship of that person. ”

And then, what happened?

I don't remember exactly.

It seems that he still rejected his father, and then his father, who lost patience, ordered his knights to arrest him? She has a fierce conflict with the riders because of her martial arts? Finally, during the siege, the kind knight let her go, allowing her to find an opportunity to rush out?

No, it's not like that.

Hungry and cold, and seriously injured, she fell in the snow? Just happened to run into Roland and his party who were on a mission nearby?

No

That's it.

Under the care of the Storm Sanharen, she finally recovered. However, at this moment, Roland told her a very bad news. The knight who let him go had already been executed by order of the enraged duke for disobeying his orders.

And the knight, before he died, did not complain a word. Just before he died, he wrote a letter. And this letter, after layers of tossing and turning, finally reached the hands of Arian Heard.

There were only three words on the letter.

Stay alive.

"That guy is a man, it's a pity." Roland also had a lot of emotion for that knight.

As for the death of a maid in the castle, it is not a big deal.

How did she die, who knows?

With the duke's magnanimity, he would not have done such a terrible thing.

"She was scared to death by herself."

Arian Heard remembered Roland's indifferent expression, for this murderous veteran oilman, the death of a maid, there was really nothing to say.

"Now, Arian Hurd, I see that your martial arts are very good, do you want to join us in the Storm Shamisen? Although the eldest sister is usually a little stricter, she is actually very easy to speak. ”

"No, I'm going to be a knight."

"Lord Arian Hurd"

Arien Hurd was immersed in her own memories, and at some point, three loyal followers had stood by her side. I don't know how long they have been standing, but they are already covered in wind and snow.

"Du Barry, why do you keep following me if you say it?"

"Because I want to be a good knight like Lord Arion Hurd!"

The young followers did not hesitate at all, and spoke loudly about their dreams. The huge wind and snow could not hide her fiery will.

Just like when she asked her that all those years ago.

"Excellent knight? What a coincidence, so did I. ”

The face of the knight in my memory has gradually blurred after all these years of hard work. But what he taught her became clearer and clearer.

Integrity, hope, generosity, justice, bravery, temperance, tolerance.

After so many years of oppression and madness as a mercenary, it was the knight who killed a young innocent with his own hands. Looking at the sincere smiling faces of his subordinates, the once extremely confused heart finally wiped the dust from his heart.

Love and hate, with time, will always slowly fade in color and become pale. But only the dream in my heart will never break my wings.

I'm afraid I'll never be able to be a real knight in my life.

Luckily, I have half my life left to try to become a true knight.

Why be a good knight? None of this matters. What can you do after becoming a good knight? What kind of knight can be called excellent?

None of this matters anymore.

I have you, and I am satisfied.

Arian Hurd smiled, took off her steel gloves, and squeezed Dubarry's hand tightly.

"Ah, Dubarie is so cunning, she actually secretly held Lord Arian Hurd's hand alone, and I want it too."

"Me too."

Arian Hurd looked at the three of them, and the smile in the holy green eyes was even worse, and a little golden light began to flash gradually. At this moment, the anger of the female knight began to burn silently, and the anger that was originally gold and silver turned into pure gold like the sun at this moment. The three of them only felt a burst of warmth, and the boundless chill had been expelled by the majestic golden anger.

"Golden"

"Lord Arian Hurd, you"

"Sunset"

Arian Hurd didn't say anything, she looked at the three of them with a smile in her eyes.

Thank God

I'm sorry, Sinloth. Although I would like to promise you, if you become a noble lady, it seems to be a good choice. But ah, these three fools under my hands, if you don't look at them well, I can't rest assured. In that case, I have to be sorry for you.

Being a canary in a cage is not what I wanted.

I'm Arian Hud Alfred.

If you want to chase me, in a few hundred years
