"What about the oath-giving ceremony of the Knight Captain?"

Xu Mu explained: "Of course it's canceled. Queen Heaney is so tough that the officials don't dare to disobey all the time. Although they now acquiesced in my appointment as the captain of the Knights, they still didn't agree with it, so how could they let the queen hold such a grand ceremony for me. If it really happens, then the whole capital will know that the captain of Queen Heaney's royal knights is not Heaney's own country, and the people of Heaney will not laugh to death the officials of Heaney's court. These things were told to me by the servants who had sent me today, and the ceremonial officers in particular were the loudest in the court, saying that my office was an insult to the face of the court of Heaney. ”

Sleta's face couldn't help but become very bad, and she was so frightened that Bereth's hand shook on the side.

Berez looked at Sresta's face like a flip book, one second she was happy, the next second it was dark.

Xu Mu and Ai Lu don't matter, especially Xu Mu doesn't want to be so famous, and he doesn't like this kind of limelight, so it doesn't matter if there is no awarding ceremony.

But Sleta is different from Xu Mu and Ai Lu, Sleta hopes that Xu Mu's fame will grow bigger and bigger in the capital, after all, Xu Mu is his brother, and of course she hopes that Xu Mu's fame will be as big as possible.

These are just Sretta's personal wishes, but such an important matter as the captain of the Royal Knights was passed lightly, and the ceremony was not held.

When Xu Mu leaves the streets of the capital, even if he reports his name, no one will know who Xu Mu is, let alone know that Xu Mu is the captain of the royal knights.

This is not what Sleta wants, Xu Mu's fame is not big, after all, he is just here.

But the fame and ritual that should be there must be, right?

Sreta gritted her small teeth, secretly hating.

Heaney Officer... Ceremonial officer...

"Sresta, what's wrong with you?" Xu Mu saw that Sreta lowered her head and didn't know what she was doing, so she asked with concern.

Sleta hurriedly collected her emotions and said with a smile, "It's okay, brother, I was thinking about something just now." ”

Xu Mu didn't think much about it, pinched up the power badge and looked at it.

Ero noticed that Sreta was unusual, but she wasn't sure.

On the contrary, Beres, who was sure that Sreta was strange, didn't even dare to fart on the side, and hurriedly lowered her head to eat, pretending not to see anything.

"Brother, this power badge is really beautiful..."

"If you like it, you can carry it. "Sreta has always liked good-looking accessories, Xu Mu knows it, and he is about to give the power badge to Sresta.

"Ahem...!" Beres was drinking the soup on the plate, and when she heard this, she choked her throat and quickly apologized: "Yes... Sorry master, Beres was rude. ”

Ai Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xu Mu, do you know what the power badge is for, just give it to Sresta." ”

Xu Mu blinked his eyes: "Isn't it just to represent the identity of the captain of the royal knights?"

"Do you know how to play with Sleta?" Ai Lu put down the knife and fork in his hand and taught Xu Mu with a serious face: "You must know that the captain of the royal knights has extremely great power, and you can even adjust the personnel changes of the palace guards, and you can also increase or decrease the number of palace guards. Even the guards of the capital, you can order the action... Going a little bigger, you also have the right of compulsory expropriation of the guards under the nobles of each fiefdom, so you understand?"

Xu Mu suddenly realized, looking at the small power badge in his hand that could represent so many things, he thought that it was simply to indicate his identity and position.

"Nasleta doesn't want it. "Sleta originally wanted it, after all, she just likes beautiful things, but when she heard that the badge of power was so important, she didn't dare ask for it.

Xu Mu thought about it for a while, and finally stuffed the power badge into Sresta's hand.

"I don't need this thing for the time being, although I am already the captain of the knights, but I don't have to exercise the obligations of the captain of the knights now, after all, the knights are not fully formed, and there is nothing I can do alone. And when I leave the capital with your sister Ailu, you will be home alone, and I will leave you the badge for you to use when appropriate. Xu Mu also touched Sleta's little head a few times, and advised: "Of course, you can't use the power badge to bully others at will." ”

Ai Lu shook his head when he heard it and didn't speak again, Xu Mu doted on Ai Lu's ability, she was already surprised, and it was also a fact that Xu Mu didn't need the power badge now, and after Xu Mu participated in the magic awakening ceremony, they would immediately set off for the magic academy, and she was also a little worried about leaving Sireta alone at home.

Originally, when she heard Ai Lu explain the use of the power badge to Xu Mu on the side, Beres finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, how can the power badge be given to people casually, especially for such a young girl.

However, after Xu Mu still stuffed the power badge into Sresta's hand, and Ai Lu also looked acquiescing, Bereth's heart was like a bomb exploded.

The housekeeper said that the master doted on the little master, and Beres thought it was just a simple pampering, but she didn't expect that this time she finally had a clear understanding of it.

Beres looked at Sresta's cute side face and thought to herself.

The little master must please him... Otherwise, if you are hated by the little master, it is estimated that it will not end well!

Sreta held the badge of power, her big bright eyes blinking.

The power badge is polished with a special magic crystal, and its appearance is smooth, and it looks like white jade, but if you look closely, you can see that the white jade exudes colorful stars, and it is very cool to start.

"Brother, is this badge of power really reserved for Sleta?"

"Of course, you just put it away, don't lose it. ”

"Of course not!"

Sleta happily accepted the power badge, in a good mood, and hurriedly ate the food on her plate.

Xu Mu smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Ai Lu, and asked with concern: "I see that your mood is not quite right recently, is it wrong?"

Ai Lu couldn't help but be stunned when he picked up the knife and fork, and quickly denied it: "How come, I've been very happy with Sleta recently." ”

"Is it..."Xu Mu didn't forget, when they first moved in, Ai Lu's state was really not right, he was used to waiting for Ai Lu to take the initiative to say it, but after a few days, Ai Lu didn't say anything, he was still a little worried: "It's not the best, but if there is really something, remember to tell me." ”

"Nothing. Ai Lu hesitated for a moment, and his red lips opened slightly: "It's just that I miss the days when the three of us took risks." ”

Berez's ears couldn't help but prick up when she heard it, the adventure story of the three masters?

"It's a little nostalgic. But if you really think about it, it seems that my mind is full of vigils, hunting, and rushing... Alas, my brain hurts when I think about it. ”

"Isn't it fulfilling, at least? After coming to the capital, the three of us finally felt a little relieved, and now I don't know what to do every day when I am free. Ailu said with a smile.

"Since you're bored, why don't you take a look at our home and see what is still missing, you have a good eye, why don't you help make up some things." And I've been feeling like we've been getting fewer people in our yard lately... Obviously, I felt like there were a lot of people before, but now it seems that there are two people missing. ”

Ai Lu couldn't help but blush when she heard Xu Mu's words, but when she heard the words behind her, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, the two maids who were driven away by Sresta still knew about it.

Sleta's face was a little shy, which made Xu Mu stunned.

The housekeeper who was standing on the side suddenly spoke: "Master, a few days ago, two maids quit their jobs and went home because of something at home. ”

"Oh, that's it. ”

Bereth's eyes widened as she looked at the butler, good fellow, I've learned!

Sreta also gave the butler a few more careful looks, while Erilu shook her head and said nothing.

After the gossip and chat, everyone began to have a formal meal.

Xu Mu has been eating very quickly, every time he finishes his meal first, he gets up after finishing his meal and says goodbye to everyone and leaves, except for Berez, no one else feels anything.

However, Sreta also got up suddenly, said that she had finished eating, wiped her mouth and hurriedly left the table.

The speed of Baileth's meal was actually not slow, but it was the first time to dine with Xu Mu and others, so she didn't dare to eat too fast.

Unexpectedly, the master and the little master had already finished eating and left the table, she looked at the food left on the plate, and then decided to get up and retire quickly.

It's strange for Ailu to see Sreta eat so fast, since learning aristocratic etiquette, Sleta's dining speed has become very slow, I didn't expect it to be so fast today.

The people at the table left, and Ailu was left alone.

At this time, the maid and the butler who were specially waiting for him also retired, saying that there was still something to do in other places, and he would come back to clean up the table later.

Ai Lu didn't care, after all, there were indeed a few people now, so they let them retreat with a wave of their hands.

That's it, the restaurant is now empty, and now there is no one except Ailu.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ai Lu couldn't help but sigh, and her mental outlook suddenly became a little decadent.

In the past few days, she has been holding on, not letting Xu Mu and Sreta see her abnormality.

In fact, her mental state is very poor now, especially the magic awakening ceremony is getting closer and closer, and the day when the two of them go to the magic academy is approaching.

Ailu's heart is very complicated.

On the one hand, he was happy for Xu Mu, because when he first met Xu Mu, Xu Mu expressed his great desire to learn magic, and this time it can be regarded as fulfilling his goal.

On the other hand, Xu Mu showed his unique ability to adapt to magic, but it also made Ai Lu feel powerless and even afraid... Fear that he is no longer important in the trio.

Sleta is still a child, and she is already an adult, how can she stay by Xu Mu's side so with peace of mind without paying anything?

The more she stayed by Xu Mu's side, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, she was also working hard to practice magic these days, wanting to enhance her fire magic ability.

But how can this thing be said to be there, but after hard work, an endless emptiness hits.

Ai Lu looked at the food on the plate, and was in a daze, without any expression on his face.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly all the candles in the dining room went out, and the room went dark.

Ai Lu subconsciously got up and touched his waist with his left hand, but only then did he realize that he had long since stopped preparing daggers casually.

yes, now I'm at home, how could something happen...

Seeing that he was so nervous, Ai Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, the door of the dining room opened, and two people entered, and Ai Lu couldn't help but be shocked when he looked up.

Sleta came in with a large cake, her face full of joy: "Happy birthday, Sister Eluk!"

"You..."

When Aro heard Sreta say this, she came back to her senses, and it seemed that today was indeed her birthday.

Coming to Ellu's side, Sleta placed the cake on the long table, and the candle flame on the cake looked so warm.

The three of them were surrounding the cake, and Ailu's red lips were slightly open, not knowing what to say.

"I can't think of it. Xu Mu was a little proud, "The last time I was in your fiefdom, when you showed me your identity credentials, I wrote down your life diary." ”

Ailu's eyes were red, she couldn't hold back any longer, covered her face and finally cried.
