Chapter 69: Allegiance
Seeing Luna trying to describe how she felt, Silas smiled, raised her hand and rubbed her daughter's bare, but palpable head, knowing that her problem was a little difficult for her, and waited for Luna's words to fall before she said:
"Recently, there have been a lot of people coming and going in the royal city, and it was my father who arranged a secret guard for you. Would you like to see it?"
"Can you see it?" Luna's wolf mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion as she looked at Silas, inexplicably feeling that she was afraid that she had been cheated by her father.
Silas looked at his daughter's stupid appearance, the smile on his face couldn't help but expand a little, and he took out the purple and gold whistle from his arms and blew it again.
Luna's eyes widened as she looked at the silent whistle, and she was immediately shocked, at this time, without her father to say, she could probably guess what kind of orc the Dark Guard was, but ......
She's far more curious about the whistle than she's about the Dark Guard!
You know, she's a wolf now, and wolves can't hear the whistle, so how good must the orcs who made this thing be?
In an instant, Luna felt that her worldview had been refreshed by this little whistle.
The next moment, two orcs appeared in the dim corner, led by the thin orc, but when he saw that there was another Luna in the room, he couldn't help but look surprised, and his eyes were slightly dark.
"King. The two orcs saluted Silas in unison.
It was at this point that Luna withdrew her gaze from the whistle and turned to look at the two orcs, all dressed in pitch black, still hiding in the corner.
"That's Knight McCann. Silas pointed to the orc, who was also the leader of his Dark Guard, who was standing a little further forward, and introduced his daughter.
"McCann Knight. Luna greeted politely.
"This is your secret guard, Sarah, who is McCann's niece. ”
"Hello. Luna opened her mouth and her eyes fell on Sarah, in fact, if Silas hadn't intentionally mentioned it, Luna would have really had a hard time distinguishing Sarah's gender, mainly because she and McCann stood together, both in terms of silhouette and outfit, they looked similar.
As for faces, Luna can only say that bat orcs are really not the type to be very likable, not even a public face.
"King?" said McCann Knight, looking at Silas in confusion.
"If the guards are discovered, they must be informed, this is the custom of the royal family. Silas' voice was flat.
But after Silas's words fell, McCann Knight instantly looked at his niece Sarah, and that fierce gaze fell on Luna's eyes, which really made it difficult for her to see McCann as Sarah's uncle.
Sarah, however, was stunned, and suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Luna, put one hand on her chest, and said in a very solemn voice with her peculiar voice:
"I, Sarah Bess, swear by my life, and from this day forth I will dedicate my life, all my all, to you, my Highness the Princess. Never betray!"
McCann Knight looked at his niece expressionlessly, Silas looked flat, as if it should be the right way, but Luna was completely dumbfounded by this sudden oath, opened her mouth, stared, looked at her father for a while, and looked at the bat uncle and nephew opposite for a while, and couldn't react at all.
After a moment of silence in the room, Silas saw that Luna had been looking at her stupidly with her mouth open and unresponsive, and realized that no one seemed to have told Luna about this, and couldn't help but remind:
"You can accept her or not, it's all up to you. ”
Luna moved her mouth, in fact, she wanted to ask what would happen to her in the end if she didn't accept the loyalty of the bat female in front of her, but I don't know why, looking at her father and McCann Knight in the room, Luna just knew inexplicably, even if she asked, no one would tell her, so as to influence her decision.
Thinking of this, Luna stood up and stepped forward, raised her paw on Sarah's knee, cleared her throat, and said solemnly in a still very immature voice, "I accept it, get up!"
Feeling her knees tremble under her claws, Luna withdrew her claws and took a few steps back, looking at Silas and, after receiving a look of affirmation, stopped talking.
After the bat uncle and nephew had flown out of the window again, Luna tilted her head to look at her father, or more accurately, her father's whistle, and asked:
"Don't you have my whistle?"
"When you get back, Sarah will give you her whistle. The corners of Silas' mouth twitched, explaining.
"Oh......" Luna reluctantly looked away from her father's whistle.
"Did your teacher tell you about the Trials Forest?" Silas asked suddenly.
The topic jumped so fast that Luna was a little confused for a moment, and simply shook her head.
"Did Luna ever wonder what the Forest of Trials was like, and why did people go there?"
Facing her father's suddenly somewhat incomprehensible gaze, Luna thought for a moment and said:
"That's probably a place to hate danger! As for why you want to go...... I don't understand, I always feel that if you want to go to such a dangerous place, you must have to go......"
"Have to go?" Silas looked at his young daughter, as if chewing on the meaning of the words, and after a moment, then asked, "Then Luna wants to go to the Trials Forest?"
"Huh?" Luna tilted her head as she looked at her father, she never seemed to have thought about it......
It's just that......
"Do I have to go too?" she hesitated, tentatively.
The last time I eavesdropped, I let her know that the eldest brother Charles, as the heir to the throne, must go to the Trials Forest, and so on, Jack probably didn't run, but she didn't want to inherit the throne, what did she do there?
Be a princess honestly, no matter which brother becomes the king many years later, can she still make her little life difficult?
The so-called how much ability there is, how big the bowl is.
Luna never thought of herself as a stupid person who didn't have the slightest ability, but the problem is, she didn't think she had the ability to take over her father's class and take the whole country as a responsibility!
What virtues do you have, don't you have a little count in your heart?
Although, Teacher Gotte said that it seems very convenient to turn fur into clothes when you come out of the Trial Forest, but for the sake of this convenience, it is not worth it for her to risk her own life, right?
"Whether or not to go to the Trials Forest has always been the choice of the orcs themselves.
There is no need or need.
Luna, Father hopes that one day, when you have to make a choice, you will have to think about yourself first and not to go.
It's not anyone, it's not Snow Wolf Country, it's not even me and your mother, it's just whether you need it yourself.
Remember?"
