When Xu Mu opened his eyes, it was already dark outside the window.

Xu Mu withdrew the magic seal and entered his body, stood up and activated his muscles and bones.

This kind of thing is not strange to him, it seems that as long as he enters the world of the elements, time becomes very fast, and when he was at home before, every time he opened his eyes, he found that the day passed quickly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Xu Mu walked over to open it, it was a maid.

Maids are served by the people of the towns outside the Academy of Magic, and these maids specialize in the chores of the Academy, as well as the daily duties of the students.

The maid just came over and asked if she needed a change of clothes.

After all, nobles never do their own laundry, and these maids come to collect clothes regularly.

After Xu Mu dealt with the maid, he remembered that there was still a letter in his arms that had not been sent.

Of course, Princess Heayi will not live in the cadet dormitory, although she has been subjected to a storm of public opinion about being forced to step down, but her identity is still here.

Heaney Wing lives in a deeper area of the Academy of Magic, with a dedicated house to serve by.

It is better to say that there is a special person to serve than to be imprisoned.

Although Xu Mu didn't know much about Heaney, he learned some of these obscure things through Xenia's conversation with him.

And according to what the Holy Maiden said before, it seems that Heanie's accident was more than just an accident...

If he had a choice, Xu Mu didn't want to touch anything about the royal family, after all, the water was very deep, and he might never be able to pull it out as soon as he got his foot in.

But there is no way, he is already loyal to Xenia, and he belongs to the cronies of the Heaney royal family, and he has to do this if he doesn't do it.

It was dark, and the various areas of the Magic Academy were brightly lit, and the use of magic crystals was arrogant.

There are also many students on the road, and many nobles or knight candidates take advantage of this time to go to the towns outside to have a dashing time.

Xu Mu shook his head as he looked at these people who were going out to have fun, and then walked towards the depths of the magic academy without thinking too much.

After walking for a while, I walked for a long time according to the address that Xenia had said, and finally saw a courtyard.

The courtyard does not occupy a large area, and if it is according to the etiquette of the royal princess, it can even be said to be very small.

Outside, there are two armored guards standing at the door, and the noble coat of arms on the chest is not royal, it seems to be the hand of a nobleman of the Heaney Kingdom.

Xu Mu frowned when he saw this, if he wanted to see Heaney, it would not be difficult, he only needed to confess his identity and take out the letter of appointment, but he and Ai Lu chose to hide their identities and come here, naturally they wanted to make less trouble, and now they have to expose their identities here, which is too boring.

But this is different from seeing Bettina, on the one hand, seeing that Heeny Wing has no good reason, how can the guards let him go? What's more, the people of Heaney's Kingdom know that Princess Hea's eyes are blind, and then he went over with a letter and asked to see Heeny Wing, afraid that he would not be killed by the guards.

Xu Mu walked around this small courtyard a little helplessly, and found that it was very tightly built, and there was not even the back door of the courtyard, only the gate of the courtyard could enter.

Just as Xu Mu was about to give up and go back to the dormitory first, the voice of a mature woman sounded next to him.

"Who is Your Excellency, and what are you doing here?"

Xu Mu looked back and saw that it was a woman wearing half-style armor, a little older, it seemed to be over thirty years old, the style of the armor was quite like Beres, under the neat short hair was a pair of bright eyes, the eyes were like a lighthouse in the night, the eyes made people feel pressure, the whole person looked extremely capable, and there was a kind of temperament that only a soldier had.

"No... I'm just walking around. ”

The woman in half-style armor held a long sword in her right hand at her waist, she took a step closely, and her tone was serious: "Take a walk casually, will you spare a circle in the princess's courtyard?" Don't lie to people, if you lie to me again, don't blame me for being polite!"

At this time, Xu Mu was trying to find an excuse to quibble, and suddenly he saw that the armor on the chest of the woman in front of him was actually engraved with the coat of arms of the Heaney royal family.

Could this man be from the royal family of Heaney? But who could it be?

The woman looked Xu Mu up and down, and saw that he was wearing the uniform of a student of the Magic Academy, and there were no coats of arms and badges on his chest and shoulders, she frowned: "Knight candidate, who are you?"

In order to avoid trouble, Xu Mu told half-truths and half-truths: "My name is Xu Mu, I am a new student who has just entered the academy, and I just got lost..."

"Xu Mu?" the woman was surprised, "You are the current captain of the Royal Knights?"

Xu Mu was also surprised: "How do you know?"

"The princess told me about you. The woman's serious face suddenly changed and became much kinder: "You are here to find the princess, right?"

Xu Mu was a little strange, but he still nodded.

Although the woman was not hostile to Xu Mu, there was more scrutiny in her eyes: "My name is Anna, and I am the princess's personal guard." After speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Xu Mu.

Xu Mu is even more strange, if the ordinary guards knew that Xu Mu was the captain of the royal knights, they should all salute, but the woman in front of her didn't behave like this, but took the initiative to shake hands with him in a friendly way?

Although Xu Mu was strange, he would not refuse, he shook hands with Anna and asked: "I just saw that the armor crest on your body belongs to the Heaney royal family, I am still strange... But are you the Queen's new knight? The royal family's guards must be served by members of the royal knights. ”

Anna smiled: "This is a long story, I'll take you to the princess first." ”

Saying that, Anna took Xu Mu to Princess Heaniyi's courtyard, and she seemed a little happy to see Xu Mulai.

Just as the two of them were about to reach the gate of the courtyard, two guards at the gate suddenly stopped: "Lord Anna, who is this person?"

"Princess's friend. What's wrong?" Anna, who was still a little kind, suddenly changed her face again, and her tone was full of oppression.

The guard felt the pressure, but he stubbornly asked, "It's so late, don't bring outsiders to disturb the princess." ”

"As the princess's personal bodyguard, do I need to greet you if I have something to report?"

"It's not... It's just that this outsider, we can't be responsible. ”

"I don't need you to be responsible, get out of the way!"

Under Anna's toughness, the two guards had no choice but to give way and let Xu Mu and Anna enter the courtyard.

After walking some distance, Xu Mu couldn't help frowning and asked, "They aren't princesses, are they?"

"Not really, they are guards arranged by several nobles. Anna sighed, "It seems that your identity has not spread here because of the relationship between Heaney's court officials, anyway, it's a good thing that no one knows your identity, you shouldn't mind, right?"

"Of course I wouldn't mind, I came in as a knight alternate... Still, I think someone at the Academy of Magic knows about me. ”

"Of course, but the old immortals don't want to touch the mold of the Heaney court officials, and even if they know your identity, they won't say anything about it. ”

Anna's term "old immortal" refers to the few magicians in the Academy of Magic who are close to the officials, and these magicians have some say in the Heaney court.

Seeing that Anna knew so much, Xu Mu also became interested in her, and asked frankly: "Anyway, you shouldn't be an ordinary guard, who are yours?"

Anna was silent for a moment and said, "I'm actually the captain of the Cavaliers. ”

Xu Mu was stunned.

"I have dedicated my life to the former king and the royal family, and even if the queen did not keep me when she took office, and she decided to completely reorganize the Knights, I would not leave the royal family. ”

"It stands to reason that... You should be a nobleman too, right?"

"It used to be, but it wasn't. Anna's face showed a hint of haggardness, "The first king died of illness, and the queen did not leave me to succeed him. But at that time, the princess's physical condition had an accident, and I decided to guard her, but the officials did not allow it, and then for various reasons... Later, I swore to the queen that I would trade my title and fief with the queen for the position of the princess's personal bodyguard, and that I would not be counted as a member of the knights. ”

When Xu Mu heard this, Anna's status in his heart rose a lot in an instant.

In order to protect Heanie's side, he did not hesitate to give up everything, even including his own noble titles and fiefdoms, which is not a simple decision.

"But how do you know about me, and you say that the princess often talks about me?" After all, the relationship between Heenia and Heaney is incompatible on the table, and Heaney is blind and there is no way to write letters to communicate, so how did Heeny know about Xu Mu?

Anna smiled: "You can ask the princess when the time comes." ”

Xu Mu nodded.

Anna took Xu Mu into the house, the room was only one floor, the route was a little strange, turned left and right, and finally came to the door of a room.

Anna knocked on the door and shouted outside the door: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Xu Mu is here." ”

"Come in. ”

A calm and gentle female voice came from inside the room.

Anna pushed the door open for Xu Mu, and when Xu Mu walked in, he found that Anna did not follow in.

"Aren't you together?"

Anna smiled: "No need, I'll stay at the door." ”

Xu Mu suddenly understood.

The decoration of the room is similar to the etiquette of an ordinary aristocratic family, and Xu Mu thought that it would be like the decoration in Heaney's court, after all, Heaney is a princess.

Heaney sat on a single sofa chair with his back to Xu Mu, and Xu Mu couldn't see Heaney's appearance clearly.

"Are you Xu Mu?"

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, yes. ”

"Is there a letter from Xenia?"

"Yes. ”

"Take it. ”

Xu Mu took out the letter from his arms and walked in front of Heani Yi to hand it over, but after he really saw Heani Yi's appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Unlike Xenia, Hiniya has long snow-white hair, and her sister Xenia has blonde hair.

The face is fair, even a little sickly white, the thin lips are slightly red and the blood color is not much, and the light blue eyes are a little weird, because the eyes reveal godlessness and emptiness.

Heaney sat in a dignified manner, obviously she was in the room by herself, and she couldn't even see anyone, but her words and demeanor exuded an air that only a superior person has.

Maybe it's because of the relationship in the bedroom, the clothes on the body are close to the home, and they are not extravagant and gorgeous.

But Xu Mu thinks that when anyone sees Heaney, they can't help but feel that Heaney is a complete superior.

Heaney slowly stretched out his hand and motioned for Xu Mu to bring the letter.

Xu Mu didn't dare to be disrespectful, and handed the letter to Heaney's hand with both hands.

Obviously, Heaney didn't do anything or say anything, but Xu Mu was in awe of Heaney in his heart.
