Chapter 16: The Way of the Female Knight
Sylvie was scolding, and a group of big lords over there simply came to chant the scriptures, didn't listen to them non-stop, and memorized their own knights.
Sylvie's face was blue, and she couldn't scold the street, because it didn't match the good tutoring she had received since she was a child. It was one thing for old Lim to give her a sword in her lifetime, but in return, she was required to learn all the etiquette that a noble lady should learn. Perhaps in old Limu's heart, marrying is Sylvie's final way out.
And even if Sylvie scolds the street, she will only be treated as a shrew, which is even more useless for her to fight.
It was only then that Sylvie suddenly found a lifesaver - surprisingly, the newly appointed Acting Lord seemed to ...... And not against her going to war?
Maybe it was just a delusion on her part, but Sylvie decided to take a gamble.
"Uncle Kuden, now the supreme leader of Lorraine is Master Martin Lorraine, and we should not listen to him. With that, Sylvie lip-spoke to Martin.
Martin smiled.
Because that mouth shape is 'please.'"
Please, my price is not low!
Sylvie immediately understood the meaning of Martin's smile, she was also angry, gritted her teeth, and nodded lightly - I owe you a favor.
Martin suddenly had a straight face, as if he was possessed by a righteous and awe-inspiring lord.
"Uncle Kuden, I think we need the strength of everyone in Lorraine. ”
"This ......," Coolden immediately pressed hard.
"Those damn orcs will come back at any time. Lorraine Castle has reached a critical point of life-and-death progress. I think both a 14-year-old boy lord and a girl with very good fighting skills have an obligation to help Lorrainburg, don't they?" Martin said, and Kuden couldn't find any words to refute.
Knight Charles spoke: "The law of the kingdom prohibits women from joining the army. ”
When Sylvie heard this, her face collapsed, and Martin wanted to laugh at the pitiful appearance of her eyebrows huddled together.
Seeing Martin like this, Sylvie couldn't help but stomp her foot slightly, and said clearly - you think of a way for me!
Martin genuinely laughed - girl, the lord's favor is not so easy to repay.
But Martin decided not to tease her anymore: "Knight Charlie, we knights and soldiers are no longer enough to protect all the people. Are we going to wait for the orcs to come in before we allow a woman or an old man who is capable of fighting to take up arms?"
"This ......"
"And, you seem to have forgotten. The Pioneer Territory is not entirely subject to the laws of the Kingdom. When opening up a new territory, as a pioneer knight, you have the final right to interpret the laws of all kingdoms in the territory. Now, I, Martin Lorraine, in the name of the Acting Pioneer Knight of Lorraineburg, declare that I allow Miss Sylvie Grandz to take up her arms......"
When she said this, Sylvie was simply overjoyed, and she beat the gongs and drums to celebrate. The knights, on the other hand, were depressed.
Who knows, Martin, the bastard, changed his words, and the second half of the words became: "...... As my bodyguard, protect me, and do not leave my ten paces for 24 hours. ”
"What!?" the purple-haired girl raised her eyebrows on the spot.
"Okay!" said Kouden and Charlie clapped at the same time.
Sylvi is the daughter of their old friend who died in battle, and they don't want to see her have an accident, but she is still full of force, making trouble here every day, really beating and scolding.
It's bothered.
Now that the young lord Martin seems to be quite interested in Sylvie, it is better to simply send it to the young lord. It's a big deal that this young lord is really as romantic as rumored, and it would be better to take Sylvie in.
Here, Martin saw their ghost appearance and knew that they were all crooked, but he didn't bother to explain, his eyelids were half raised: "As a acting lord, I have the right to recruit any man in the territory as my guard." Of course, you can refuse, so please fulfill your obligations as a lady. ”
Isn't that just like other women, tidying up the family's finances, at most carrying flour, valuables, or something.
When Sylvie heard this, her pretty face was full of the word 'angry'. But on second thought, at least, it's an improvement. She can legally carry a sword outside of the training ground.
Gritting her teeth, Sylvie agreed: "Okay." ”
As a result, Martin has an additional beautiful scenery around him.
Of course, there is nothing self-conscious about this landscape itself.
"Your Excellency, Young Lord, I have to state in advance that I am not the kind of woman you think. I will only be your bodyguard, not anything else. Sylvie emphasized.
Martin only thought it funny: "Believe me, I won't even have time to save my life until I don't have a new guardian knight, and I really don't have time to harass a little girl." ”
"You...... I'm a little girl, what are you?"
Martin said without looking back: "A bastard boy who still smells of milk and has a lot of power." ”
Sylvie froze.
"I wandered in front of the gates of hell once, and now my whole outlook on life and values has changed. It's a pity that until we really prove ourselves, adults will only treat us all like little children. ”
Sylvie finally believed Martin a little bit this time.
Yes, she is also 14 years old. Like him, he is a little kid in the eyes of adults. It's just that because of their status, the knights have to rely on Martin.
Sylvi gritted her teeth and said to herself, "One day, I will also make you rely on me and trust me." ”
With that, he habitually held the hilt of his sword with his left hand and quickly followed Martin.
Sylvie asked tentatively, "Then the young lord, you don't seem to be against the female knight?"
"Why object?" Martin replied subconsciously.
Martin couldn't help but think back to the Celestial Empire, which was a magical country. can be because King Arthur is not a woman, not called Saber Artoria, as a result, King Arthur's movie hit the street at the box office. It can also make Attila, the 'whip of God' who swept half of Europe in history, become a legitimate Lori.
When Martin is half a house, he is used to all kinds of girly games and anime characters, and unconsciously, he already feels that the female knight is actually quite emotional. It ignores the nature of discrimination against women in the human kingdom in this Kaos world.
He's not a feminist, he's just okay with the idea of a female knight.
Of course, for Sylvie, this is tantamount to the greatest ray of hope.
A lord who supports women to become knights! Oh my God! Is this the Sigma god guiding all beings?
"If you become a king, and I have enough merit, will you rule out the public opinion and canonize me as a knight?" Becoming a knight is already Sylvie's biggest dream.
"First of all, I'm not a king. I'm just a poor vicarious lord whose territory can be destroyed by orcs at any moment. Second, you may not be as good as you say you are......"
"And the third?"
"Third, I haven't figured it out yet. Martin was very dry.
Sylvie was really angry with him for a while. But immediately she laughed again.
After all, a lord who is either extremely opposed to women being knights is the greatest good news.
