It should be the first rays of sunlight in the morning that fall into the windows, illuminating the carpet that spreads on the floor.

In the room, on an oversized bed, Hillman opened her eyes as she smelled the faint scent in her nose. She was wearing only a nightdress, and her long blonde hair was a little disheveled.

There were a few birdsongs outside the window, and everything was so peaceful in the morning.

Hillman crossed her eyes and looked to her side, where there was still a person lying beside her.

It was a girl with short black hair, and at this time, the girl's hands were holding one of her arms, her head resting on her shoulder, and she was snoring softly. As for the faint fragrance she smelled, it should have come from this girl's body.

The girl's sleeping face was very peaceful, and perhaps only when she was asleep would she show such an expression. Just like when she was eating, she was what a girl should be, but most of the time she wasn't.

This girl is the apostle that Hillman summoned through a contract last night.

Last night, Hillman let Chu and himself sleep together temporarily, but he didn't expect to wake up like this.

Feeling his arm tightly held in Chu's arms, Hillman smiled bitterly.

Didn't you say you didn't need to rest last night?

Let's wait for her to wake up.

Without making a sound, Hillman quietly looked at Hatsu's face, the sunlight outside the window falling on the bed, illuminating the lines of Hatsu's face very softly, of course, if not for that scar.

Looking at it this way, it's really a beauty, isn't it?

Hillman reached out a hand and gently lifted Hatsu's chin.

After looking at it for a moment, she remembered what had happened last night.

Through the relics left to her by her father, she summoned the apostle, and at the same time, a pact was established between the two of them, which gave her an incredible connection with the apostle.

Lying calmly on the soft pillow, looking at the beginning, Hillman thought inexplicably.

Perhaps, I can trust her.

The word trust is very foreign to her, because of her early experience and the relationship with the royal family, she has never completely trusted anyone.

She was suspicious of everyone, so she was always the only one living on the top floor of the castle, and no one could enter without permission. In this way, she lived alone in the highest part of the royal city, in an empty high pavilion.

Trust ······

Hillman pondered the word, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

It's a special feeling.

Maybe he felt something, Chu's brows furrowed slightly, let out a soft snort, and woke up.

The eyes under the scar opened, revealing those deep black pupils.

With some drowsiness that had not yet faded, he looked at Hillman, who had hooked his chin in front of him, and the two looked at each other like this for a few seconds.

"Are you awake?" Hillman said with a smile.

Almost immediately, Hatsu sat up from the bed and bowed his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry for being rude and delaying Your Majesty's time. ”

She had some remorse, and sure enough, she shouldn't have rested, and actually let the summoner see such an unbearable side.

She always slept deeply, so she never dared to rest at the beginning of the moor. Thanks to this, otherwise, she would have died at the hands of some person.

Although it was the summoner's order last night, as an apostle, she really shouldn't have slept so deeply.

But come to think of it.

I glanced at the bed nostalgically, it was really a place that was easy to indulge in, and it was really good to stay away from it in the future.

When Chu was annoyed by his behavior, Hillman was lying on the bed and stretching, looking at Chu lazily, pursing his lips and smiling.

"Are you apostles so incomprehensible?"

In that situation just now, she thought that there would be some more interesting reaction at the beginning.

However, she didn't hate the clumsy appearance of the beginning, but she still liked to see the stereotypical apostle show a flustered look.

Hillman's words made Chu a little unsure of how to answer, maybe she didn't understand what kind of amorous thing was.

Hillman didn't bother at first, covered his mouth and smiled, and raised a hand.

"Alright, I'm ready to get up, Miss Knight, can you help me get my cloak?"

"Yes. Chu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up.

Black evil spread from her body as she moved, and by the time she reached the hanger, she was covered with the black armor again.

Hatsu removed his cloak from the hanger and stood by the bed waiting for Hillman to get up.

Hillman stood up, put on his long dress, walked to Hatsu's side, and let Hatsu put on her cape.

The pale golden sunlight shone on the two of them.

A man dressed in a splendid robe, with long blond hair hanging down his waist, with a revered nobility, smiled at the sun.

The other man, dressed in pitch-black armor, cold and silent, bowed his head, draped his red cloak over the body of the king in front of him.

Hillman turned around and said to Chu with a smile.

"Are you ready, from today onwards, you will be my knight. ”

Chu stood behind her, wearing a black helmet, and whispered.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

······

In the palace under the castle, soldiers armed with sharp axes stand in two rows beside the stone pillars of the palace, their postures are straight, their heads are slightly raised, and their eyes are solemnly looking directly at the flag symbolizing the kingdom on the walls of the palace.

In a strong nation, you can see in its soldiers a sense of mission that borders on glory, and they take the glory of the country as their mission and the king as their faith. Undoubtedly, this was the case with Reinhardt's soldiers.

In the palace, Hillman wears a red cloak and a crown on his head, and sits on a tall throne, which is the highest point in the entire palace. This queen will always be like this, haughty, dignified, with her characteristic smile, looking down on everyone.

And beneath the throne stood the ministers and officers of the kingdom, who were called here every day to participate in the proceedings, and the same is true today.

The only difference is that after today's state senate, Hillman did not declare the end of parliament, but said that he still had one more thing to announce.

The ministers and officers standing under the throne were puzzled, but they all quietly awaited Hillman's announcement.

"From this day forward, I will appoint a new Knight of the Kingdom. ”

On the throne, Hillman said lightly.

But her bland words were like a stone falling into the water, breaking the peace in the palace.

There was a commotion among the ministers and officers.

This is definitely not a small matter.

Because so far, only one person in the kingdom of Reinhardt has been given the title of knight of the kingdom.

She is the leader of the Kingdom Swordsman Regiment and the only female swordsman in the Kingdom, Roland.

By the time Hillman announced this, several people's eyes had already turned to the female swordmaster, who was also standing in the palace.

Roland is an extremely strong-looking woman, which can be seen from her figure, her figure is very toned and shaped.

Beneath the wheat-colored skin are muscles that contain great strength. The shape and lines of the muscles are very beautiful, and they do not look bloated or thin.

Her face is rarely soft and angular, as if carved out of marble, resolute, with a strong masculine beauty. The neat and neat silver-white short hair makes her look more majestic and bold.

At this time, she was also looking up at Hillman.

On the throne, Hillman raised a hand and signaled the ministers to be quiet, and when the commotion in the palace gradually calmed down, she smiled slowly, looked at the door of the palace, and said.

"Now, let me introduce you to you, this is my future Knight of the Guard, Hatsu. ”

As her words fell, a footstep slowly walked from outside the palace, echoing through the palace.

All eyes were on them, and they saw a man.

A knight in pitch-black armor.
