"Great!" Kate looked a little excited, and asked, "Has Your Highness seen my letter?" How did she reply? ”

"Letters?" Alma repeated in confusion before she said, "Maybe like the corpses of those two companions, they were swallowed by wild beasts!" ”

"Bastard!" The bearded man snorted angrily, pointed at Alma and reprimanded, "You haven't realized the fate of this mission, have you? Now, our seventeen teams are leaderless, can you take responsibility? ”

"Oh, so you're here." Alma didn't talk nonsense, took out Clara's oracle directly from her pocket, and then placed a black token on the desk in front of her. "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I'd better be straight, Her Highness Clara has appointed me, Alma, as the chief knight of the seventeenth team."

Alma raised her voice deliberately, and there was an immediate commotion in the crowd.

"What, to appoint a new recruit who has just come of age as a Knight Chief?"

"Alma probably hasn't slaughtered a batman or a Busen warrior on his own, has he?"

"Sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to worry about the position of the chief knight! How could the bearded Kate spare him so easily? ”

"But didn't you hear? He was personally appointed by His Royal Highness Clara, and the bearded man could only swallow it in his stomach if he knocked out his teeth. ”

……

Among the crowd, especially the veterans who thought they had worked hard were the most noisy. As loyal as they were to Clara and to Her Majesty the Queen, they could not accept a new young man riding on top of them.

The cacophony of chatter gave Alma some headaches. But he firmly believes that any decision made by Her Highness Clara is extremely correct, including his own appointment. Now, he has decided to repay Her Highness Clara's trust with his actions.

Slowly stepping out from behind the large desk, Alma pointed at Kate and said, "From now on, I order you to take part in the camp's vigil every night until I assign another task. ”

"Stink! What are you? When I joined Team Seventeen, you weren't even born! Kate said angrily. Do you want me, an old man, to watch the gate for you, or do you want to chase away the noisy crows while you are asleep? ”

"Whatever you want, Kate. I'm your commander now, but I'm also a junior, and I'll give you a little bit of face for this veteran. Alma walked over and kindly patted the bearded man on the shoulder, and gave him a small step.

The bearded man snorted coldly, and he didn't eat this set.

Alma held up a finger and continued, "But you have to remember one thing, Kate. Never try to disobey orders, or ...... I would think that you are disrespectful to Your Highness and disrespectful to Her Majesty! ”

There was a sound of cold air being inhaled, and Alma was clearly intimidating everyone. Some of the knights unconsciously lowered their heads.

"Now...... Go ahead, and before I'm angry, stand outside the camp gates, and check and detain all suspicious guys! "Alma is a good way.

"Hmph, even Her Highness Clara will never tolerate you treating a veteran like this!" The bearded man's face turned purple, but he still refused to back down.

"That's good, that's good, it looks like we'll have to have a good talk." Alma nodded, and walked over to him.

The bearded Kate twisted her head to the side, ignoring it.

Alma's face flashed with a hint of a vulture, and Hodi drew his sword from the knight beside him and slashed it at Kate's neck.

Caught off guard, Kate shook her body with her rich combat experience, and was able to dodge Alma's sharp sword.

Alma misses the blow and throws her sword at the ground.

Kate dodged, and the sword flew out against his cheek.

"Good son, you forced me to do this!" In the face of life and death, Kate gave up the last shred of reason, drew her saber and rushed towards Alma.

He was confident that he could easily kill the stinky kid in front of him, and then ......

————

Once upon a time, probably forty years ago, the bearded Kate became one of the first loyal men of Knight Catherine. Since then, he's felt a little different from what he used to be.

Of course, he is still Kate, both on the outside and on the inside, exactly the same as before. But he always felt that there was a sleeping force in his body that was constantly awakening.

The force was weak, barely noticeable at first, but it kept growing, from formation to wriggling, to croaking, to babbling, to toddler......

As that power grew, Kate became more and more dependent on Catherine and adored her, as if all the purpose of her existence was to please her and love.

After he really gets Catherine's love, he asks her that question, why is he becoming more and more obsessed with her?

Catherine shook her head and said blankly, "I don't know anything either, Kate, Her Highness Clara guided me, but she didn't tell me any secrets outside of common sense. ”

"Have you never discussed this? Like me and you are like now?! Kate said caressing Catherine's shoulder.

"She only told me that everything should be done according to my heart, and I had no objection to Her Highness Clara's words, so I didn't ask too much." Catherine answered honestly. There was a time when she was obsessed with Kate's bushy beard and fiery temper like an ordinary girl, so she knew everything about him.

"She's great!" Kate exclaimed. "Of course, you're not bad either, I just want to give you everything I have."

"If you really think so, go brave and fight! Like I have been, it is good for our growth. ”

"What about the other knights in the ranks? Will their increased combat power also make you stronger? Kate complained somewhat selfishly that he really wished it was his own unique ability, not everyone.

"Silly boy, when you grow up, you will naturally understand everything." Catherine stroked Kate's bearded face and genuinely felt that he was her own child.

But not the only one.

After thinking about it, Catherine added, "Only those knights who feel my love will have this ability. There are not many of them. After all, there are some things that you can't do without moderation, you have to pick the best and the most appealing person for you, and then get him at all costs. ”

"Okay......" Kate was a little disappointed, but could only nod her head in understanding.

Catherine added, "Before you grow into a truly powerful knight, all you have to do is to sharpen yourself and grow as quickly as possible. ”

"I see, dear!" Kate said solemnly. "Sooner or later, I will cover the squares of the royal city with the furs of those beasts, and build a wall with the fangs of the bats......"

"Didn't you understand me?" Catherine shook her head. "It's not for you to be killed, it's for you to sharpen yourself, and there are other hot-blooded guys who are too much......"
