She was dressed today in an Illinus-style riding garment, with a pair of white corset trousers with a slight pattern underneath, and a pair of small riding boots on her feet, a lean white blouse with a waist and tight cuffs trimmed with gold thread, a fiery red waistcoat over the blouse, perhaps because of the heat, the two cuffs of the neckline were untied, revealing a white neck and slender collarbone, a beautiful belt was attached to the junction of the waistcoat and trousers, and a delicate Cinnari scimitar was hung from the golden tasseled belt, whose graceful curves and ornate sheath were visible to the woman。

"Whoa, yes, my dear cousin. Tiebel leaned over and patted Iris on the shoulder, and smiled, "Looks like you're serious about today's activities! That's good, it's not what a boy should do to spend all day in music and poems;

Iris returned the favor with a stiff smile to his cousin. "Got it, Cousin Tibel. ”

"How can you be so weak to speak?" Tiebel asked, frowning, "cheer me up!" Iris, today is the day of our generation to get together and show off our family's momentum, you know? Okay, I know, your dear cousin has something to look for you. ”

Irena withdrew her hand tugging at the corner of Tibel's clothes, leaned down slightly, and raised her head with a little worry and asked, "Are you not feeling well, Iris, come and rest on my chaise longue, do you need me to have a servant serve you a drink?"

Irena was dressed in a lake-blue dress, this dress had two very beautiful streamers around the waist, although she was only two months younger than Iris, but she was bigger than her thin brother, almost four and a half feet tall, her complexion was fair, she had a pair of watery and gentle pale green eyes, she always bent her body slightly gently, like a slender willow, and the expression on her face was like a goddess who did not know anything about the world, but she was already dignified and beautiful at a young age, and she stood with Iris like two little angels.

"Yes, miss!" said her maid, bowing slightly, "but you only have a cup, is that okay?"

At this moment, Irena couldn't hide the joy in her heart. When she heard the maid's voice, she blushed, but didn't say anything, just waved her hand and told the maid to go quickly.

Tiebel approached Doires. "Go, my dear cousin," she said, "uncle will not know that you drink, and I believe that drinking a small amount of such a thing may make you more manly." ”

Iris replied with her usual submissive gaze, which at once caused Miss Tibert to be so indulged in a certain amount of affection, that she took him in one hand and walked happily to the lounge. Hart was the standard-bearer and herald of the Harongoth family this time, and he was honored by the errand. However, the flag in his hand is not a black eagle with white shading, but a white unicorn flag with a purple background, which is the family crest of Eris's mother's family, the Merte family.

Iris's father forbade him to use the Harongoth family flag when he was away, and Hart always spat at it. Carrying the flag, he swept his eyes over the people around him, and his eyes fell on a teenager surrounded by the guards.

Judging from the richly dressed and what Iris had said, he was sure that this man was the son of Duke Michod. Hart walked over and saluted with the utmost contempt.

"Is Your Excellency the son of Duke Michod, Her Excellency Adeline Michod?" asked Hart.

"Yes. Adeline's face flushed, apparently angered by this unreasonable behavior.

"On the afternoon of April 18, without a notary and a chaperone, you asked him for a duel, didn't you?"

"Yes. Adeline clenched the hilt of her sword.

"Thank you very much. Hart bowed solemnly, stepped back, and said a few words to the nameless Knight of Silence. The knight nodded, and walked slowly, each step with the sound of metal colliding with the armor of his body,

Adeline could only see a pair of bright and calm eyes through the gap in the armor of the gorgeous helmet, and the temperature of the cold helmet seemed to seep into the knight's line of sight, staring at him, and Adeline only felt that she was about to suffocate.

"This knight!" said Radvi, who was standing behind Adeline, as he stepped ahead of his little master, "and it was just a joke among the children. ”

The Nameless Knight stopped, shifted his gaze from Adeline's body to Radvi, looked at him for a moment and nodded to him, then stroked his chest with his left hand in fist armor, turned and drew a spear from his horse's back and struck the tail end of the shield held by Radvi's squire.

Radvi was surprised, he took a step forward, and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to duel me?" ”

The Unknown Knight nodded, gesturing to his standard-bearer and herald.

"Yes, sir. My master's temporary guardian sends you a fair challenge, where all can attest to the fairness of the duel. Now—" Hart paused, then continued, "go back and have your servants prepare your armor, horses, and weapons for you!"

Radvi said in a calm tone, "Until you can't say why you're challenging me, I have the right to refuse." ”

"Well, yes, if you have to," Hart glared at the stunned Adeline fiercely, "Your master, Your Excellency Adeline, challenged my Lord Iris on the afternoon of April 18 without a notary and a chaperone, but my young master refused. And Lord Adeline spat at the family crest on my master's chest, and insulted my master with extremely unpleasant words!"

"What?" Radvi looked at Adeline in surprise, he was really surprised, such an impudent demeanor really made him believe that it was Adeline who did it.

Adeline blushed, clenched her dagger at her waist and shouted, "Yes!

"No, no, Lord Adeline. Hart's expression returned to the extremely contemptuous demeanor he had at the beginning, "Since you are both under the age of fifteen, your respective escort knights are obliged to duel, and your actions have greatly insulted the dignity of the Harongoth family! As the knights under the command of Duke Harongoth, this is intolerable! We have sent representatives to settle this unpleasant matter, my lord, this duel is inevitable." ”

After speaking, Hart, the standard-bearer, said no more, and returned to the ranks of the knights of Harangus with the emblem held high.

"Come on, Radvi, down with the man, his strong horses, his fine armor, and his weapons, including his men, are yours!" Adeline panicked and ordered his escort knight, like a desperate merchant surrounded by bandits.

"Please be quiet!" Radvi asked calmly as he waved his hand to stop the squire who was going to dress him, "Master, I need to know why you did this. ”

"Why?no! you just need to defeat the person in front of you!" Adeline's red face turned pale with fear, and he tried not to make his legs tremble at the gaze of the Unknown Knight.

"Forgive me for not complying with my fate!" Radvi stepped forward and grabbed Master Adeline's arm and said, "This is not a trivial matter, it involves the honor of both families. ”

Adeline shouted, "Honor?" He broke free of the hands that were holding his arms and turned to look at the corner of the hunting grounds, where Iris was lying on Irena's chaise longue, and smiled as she took the cup his cousin had handed her, which Adeline recognized.

"That coward doesn't deserve it, a coward shouldn't have that!" Adeline's otherwise handsome face twisted into a look of hatred as she said this, causing Radway to feel a chill of air flow into his bones.

The nameless knight took a sharp step forward, his eyes behind the double armor seemed to burst into flames, and he tore off the iron gloves he wore on his hand, threw them at Radvi's feet, and turned and mounted.

Radvi reluctantly picked up the gloves and handed them to the attendants behind him. He commanded in a loud voice, "Lead my horse!"

At Radvi's command, the attendants put on a chain armor for him, tied his arm guards and shin armor, wrapped it and put on a barrel helmet, an indescribable shadow was invading his heart, due to the limited space Radvi proposed a sword competition that he was good at, and the unknown knight nodded in agreement.

Radvi stared at his opponent, his powerful body and his limbs as if they were still. He thrust his sword downwards into the ground, his hands on the hilt of his sword, and waited for Radvi to finish his preparations.

"Wait!" said his knightly friends as he approached the side as Radvi's squire finished dressing, "Slow down, sir, forgive us for disturbing such a solemn occasion here. However, if you challenge the honor of your family, we also have the right to challenge you!As comrades in the [Dehrim] Cavalry Wing, we are allowed to show friendship to our comrades in this way, please rest assured, with the honor of the knights! We will not interfere until Radvi is defeated. One by one, they walked up to Radvi and extended their hands to express their encouragement and blessings.

The Unknown Knight raised his sword, slung it over his shoulder, and said, "Duke Michod has a good group of warriors around him, but his son is a pity. Are you ready, so please get started!" The voice came from the helmet, muffled and hoarse, making it uncomfortable to listen to.

"Come on, I'd like to see the skills of the famous Knights of Sanctions!" replied Radvi, drawing a circle five paces away from his opponent with his sword in one hand.

The Nameless Knight nodded appreciatively, and suddenly leaped close to Radvi like a thunderbolt, and he slashed at the opponent from above with the impact and force of the jump. Its momentum was so strong that everyone standing around and watching the battle couldn't help but take three steps back.

Radvi didn't expect his opponent to be so agile under such heavy armor, he reluctantly raised his long sword, and with the inertia of the unknown knight's momentum, he turned sideways and led the blade to the right, and took two sharp steps back to realign his position. Even if he removed the opponent's sword, the hand holding the sword still trembled involuntarily, and the moment of confrontation just now made him comprehend the extraordinary power of the unknown knight.

"Is it Lord Gylrenville?" cried Radway, "it would be a shame not to know the name of your opponent before you died." ”

"Young Master Iris's temporary guardian, I'm sorry, for some reason I can only tell you so much," the Unknown Knight replied, "Now, let's continue!"

The Unknown Knight's left foot stepped back slightly, and he twisted and slashed hard to force Radvi out of the way. On several occasions, the Unstoppable Knight's unstoppable blade made it impossible for Radvi to go head-to-head.

"It's terrible that you can't get close to him, even though you have a lot of loopholes. Radvi thought as he dodged. Suddenly, after a seemingly dodging small jump, he rolled and lunged forward, stabbing straight into the throat of the Nameless Knight.

"God!" Hart exclaimed, and the flag in his hand fell to the ground. No one expected Radvi to feign dodge and suddenly make such a dash.

At this time, something even more incredible happened, the unknown knight stepped back with one hand on the blade, and the hilt of the sword fended forward to resist the stabbing sword. Radvi took a leap forward, allowing the blade to leap past the Unknown Knight's hilt and take the Nameless Knight's life.

The opponent made a mistake and gave way to the blade, but the hilt suddenly turned upside down and pressed against Radvi's throat, and it was too late for him to retreat, and the blade of the sword held by the unknown knight's left hand was already against his neck.

"You win," Radvi said with a smile as he dropped his sword, "take it, my horses, my weapons and armor, and ...... My life. ”

"You are a respectable opponent. The Unknown Knight withdrew his sword and stretched out a hand to whisper, "Let this be the end of this!" ”

"Then please take my property, I will raise three hundred dinars to redeem it in a month's time. ”

The Nameless Knight shook his head, "Take them with you, and die on the front line of [Hedram] for Svadia," he shook his outstretched left hand, "May the Lord bless you!"

Radvi's eyes moistened, and he shook it with a look of awe. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, turning to those around him, "this knight has overcome me under your fair gaze, and has freed me with infinite mercy, and no member of the [Hedram] Knights Wing shall have any more controversy over the matter. ”

"Let's go!" Radvi stepped onto his horse and beckoned to his friends and attendants, "and allow me now to express my gratitude once again for your noble deeds and admiration for your outstanding martial arts. As he spoke, he sat upright on his horse and bowed deeply to the Unknown Knight, who stood still and returned the same salute.

"Radwi!" shouted Adeline's servant, breaking free of his support, "as the vice-captain, do you want to disobey orders?"

"I'm sorry, young master, after returning to [Hedram], I will tell you what you have done. As he spoke, he commanded loudly, "Help the young master to mount!" Radvi's face took on a more resolute and upright silhouette in the sunlight, and he rode away without looking back.

"Damn! I'll remember you!" Adeline yelled unwillingly as she surrounded her squires, "Let me go!

Hart smiled at the departing growlers and waved the emblem in his hand, saying, "Wait! ”

The Unknown Knight tossed his sword to Exa, "It was a good fight!" and then turned to the other members of the Order of Sanctions, "Then let's return to [Elbel]! ”

The nameless knight gestured and galloped to the way back, and the men behind immediately turned their horses and followed.

The only remaining members of the arena were Hart, the herald, and Exa, the attendant. Hart looked at his new friend, his eyes were full of pleasure, and said, "You are also on the young master's side. ”

"Ha, my friend," Exa said with a slightly embarrassed expression as he took over Hart's emblem and led a horse, "Of course I'm willing to give my life for Master Iris at any time, believe me, if the adults don't notice." ”

Hart didn't say anything, just walked quickly to Exsa's side and hugged him vigorously, "Let's go to the young master's side." With that, he walked through the crowd of onlookers who were still watching and talking, and went straight in the direction of Iris.

Due to the sudden withdrawal of the organizers, the hunt was over, and Iris did not know that he had become the man of the year at the hunt.

He was resting in Miss Irena's chaise longue at the moment, his face flushed with drunkenness, his eyes blurred and closed, and his mouth still muttering to him not knowing what he was saying.

Miss Tibert's empty glass in her hand said it all, and she was now standing by staring at Iris's face with interest and grinning with interest.

Irena hurriedly asked the maid to fan Iris, and complained worriedly to her cousin, "You're getting him drunk! Cousin! ”

"Ahh Don't worry, it's only three glasses, it's not much for a man," said Miss Tibel, winking at the anxious cherub, "and don't you think he's more manly after drinking?"

Irena gave up accusing her cousin, for she suddenly realized the futility of accusing such a man, and she turned and ordered one of her servants to fetch a handkerchief soaked in ice water to cool Eris, and said to Eris's two attendants with a slight apology, "I'm sorry for causing such trouble to your master, but if the situation is a little better, find a horse to carry him back!"

"It's... Ah, yes, miss, this is indeed no small trouble. Hart said with an embarrassed face, obviously he couldn't be angry with such a dignified and polite little girl. "Master Iris's father, maybe you know..."

Irena held her delicate eyebrows and said seriously, "I will write a letter and bring it back to my uncle to explain." ”

Exa and Hart bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much!"
