Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Past

Sirini, a girl who can't be erased from Nina's memory. In her simple memory www.biquge.info, Cilini was her best childhood friend. This girl is strong and smart. When she was younger, she was always able to easily do a lot of things that Nina couldn't. For example, climb the thousand-year-old tree in the Imperial City and cheer at the top of the canopy. Another example is sneaking into the kitchen where pastries are made in the royal castle, secretly taking out desserts prepared for the nobles, and giving them to Nina, who didn't eat dinner because she didn't learn etiquette.

At that time, Sirini was Nina's irreplaceable companion.

Their first encounter was in the garden of the royal family. At that time, Nina was only 6 years old, and her father brought in a young girl. The girl's eyes were sharp, her body was slender, and she always had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She has cute white animal ears, which are wolf-like ears, and because of the itch, the ears will shake from time to time, which is extremely cute.

This is the first time Nina has seen outsiders, and it is also the first time in her life that she has seen the goblins. This cute wolf girl also has a cute name.

She is Celini.

During a siege against the Blood Cultists, the Royal Knights rescued the poor fairy girl and brought her homeless with them. Because of the girl's strength and her stubbornness, the Knights finally accepted her, and Silinne became the youngest apprentice knight in the Royal Knights.

Of course, it is impossible for the Knights to arrange for an underage girl to go out to accomplish any dangerous mission. These loyal and kind knights even regarded Celinne as their own daughter. However, the best way to let Sirini grow up safely is to arrange to become Nina's guardian knight.

The king of Ambra himself walked to Nina's side with Silini, and in front of Nina's eyes, he drew his decorative saber and gently tapped it on Silinne's shoulder. He told Nina that from this day on, there would be a knight who would exist only for her by her side forever.

Sirini became Nina's guardian knight. She is 6 years older than Nina, and like a real sister, she has always taken care of Nina. They studied together, grew up together, and went to study with Sword Emperor Nien together.

Until that day comes.

It was Nina's first time traveling, and she grew her knowledge. Together with Sirini, she chose the Radiance Empire as their first stop. Along the way, the two of them did not take an airship or a magic train, but simply walked. Walk through one city, town, country after another.

It was a simple and beautiful time. It's just that in the end, it ended at the first stop of the Holy Radiance Empire, the Dragon Eagle Capital.

Cilini drugged Nina's food. Take advantage of the night and take Nina to the woodland outside the Dragon Eagle Capital. There's someone from the Dark Souls there. However, Sirini didn't realize that the Sword Emperor Nien had been following them all along. Naturally, the Dark Spirits' conspiracy did not succeed.

Although this organization sent several elite members to respond, it was no match for the Sword Emperor in any case. Instead, he was caught by the Sword Emperor Shun Teng and all the main participants, and they were all wiped out. However, no one knew why Silini did this.

What Fiona said to Egret at the beginning was mostly her own speculation. The information she saw from the intelligence made her think that Sirine had been a member of the Dark Spirits organization since the beginning of the day, and that it was all a conspiracy.

But the reality is much more complicated.

In fact, there are three doubts about the incident itself. First, Celini herself is a child who grew up in the Royal Knights, and has been brought into the Order since she was a child, with little contact with the outside world. Second, Sirinni and Nina are like sisters, and they have to take the lead in detecting the danger for Nina even in the slightest situation. Such deep habits and beliefs that are almost engraved in the essence, what made her suddenly change and drug Nina?Third, Sword Emperor Nien's ability is well known, that is the strongest person in the known continent, even if Xilinni is highly talented and her skills are strong, it is impossible for her to easily escape under the nose of the Sword Emperor, and even as long as the Sword Emperor wants to catch her, it is nothing more than spending a little more time, and there is no difficulty. But why did he finally make up a lie, saying that Sirine had escaped, and telling Nina that Sirine had died for her?

This kind of unreasonable situation is so tangled together, and in the case of information asymmetry, it has become a mystery that cannot be sorted out and cut and messed up.

The head of the Knights of Tuk is one of the knights who has trained Cilinny. How do you convince Tuke, a figure like Silini's father, that Sirine would do something to harm Her Highness? The airship of the Ambra Empire had already taken the lead in filling the Black Dragon King's treasure, and it didn't wait for night to start the return voyage. Nina, Fiona, and Egret are all members of this return.

In the evening, Nina stood outside the Egret's room and stood still for a few minutes. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Egret, I want to explain it to you. Nina watched as the egret opened the door and spoke.

Egret froze for a moment, "Nina, uh, Your Highness." Come in and talk about it. "It's hard to get used to. It's not that Egret is used to being casual, but he and Nina are very familiar, and it is difficult enough for him to suddenly accept Nina's changed identity. Now I have to ask him to change his calling habits and the way he gets along, and the egret is a headache for this.

Nina suddenly laughed, and she only thought it was very funny when she looked at the egret who wanted to change, but was nondescript. "Your greeting etiquette isn't up to par. Egret Knight!" Nina suddenly pretended to be a serious lesson, and suddenly became playful and cute.

The egret was slammed and didn't seem to react.

"I used to take etiquette classes with Celini. The ceremonial officer often lectured us in this way. It's just that we were all naughty at that time, and we didn't take the lesson to heart at all. Nina said remembrance. "Egret. I hope you know. I've never seen you as a replacement for Silinne. ”

"I know. Egret walked to the bar in the room, reached for a pot of iced black tea mixed with honey, and held it up to Nina.

Nina nodded with a smile, looked at the egret and said to her while pouring tea, "Nina, do you say I'm a qualified knight?"

"Well, yes? You have the shortcomings of being lazy, loose, self-righteous, like to set traps, and be clever. Nina tilted her head to count the egrets, "But no." But you can give your life for me. Even the day workers who have been working for so long have not asked for anything. ”

"Is it or isn't it?" said Egret in his heart, but he understood what Nina meant, and he had already won the approval of the eldest lady.

"In the eyes of others, you are just a knight of the wild road who was very lucky and was chosen by me. Nina stopped joking, but said in a rather low voice. "I don't really like to ask you to do anything. Nor is there a mind to surprise people's opinions. So, if you don't want to take part in the Garden Trials. I still have the right to make you a member of the official royal family. ”

"No kidding. Egret handed the tea to Nina, and the two of them took a sip at the same time. "Do you see Uncle Tuck like that? If I didn't go to the Garden Trial, he would have thrown me straight off the airship. ”

"But. Nina was about to say something, but was interrupted by the egret. "Don't worry, Nina, I'm also a man. How can you be qualified to be your guardian knight if you back down so easily in the face of difficulties. ”

"So, I'll take part in the training, and I'll go to the Garden Trials as well!" said Egret with a bright and bright eye, as if he had seen a glorious future.

"I really didn't think of that. Fiona's voice suddenly came from the door, it turned out that she had not been able to find Nina, so she searched around, and sure enough, she saw it at the egret. As soon as she entered, she heard the Egret's declaration, and said with a surprised face.

"There's nothing unexpected about that. Egret pouted, "Am I a decadent waste in your eyes who doesn't want to do anything?"

"Well, although it's not a waste of firewood, it's a money fan. Fiona said. Nina also followed: "It's still a poor life. ”

Speaking of this, the egret suddenly reacted. "By the way, Nina, if I can get in the top three in the Garden Trial, can I ask for one thing?"

Nina and Fiona looked at each other, both a little surprised, but Fiona suddenly squeezed Nina's eyes with ill-will in her eyes. Nina glared at Fiona, and then said with a slightly flushed face, "Of course you can." What's the matter?"

"This. Egret rubbed his hands together embarrassedly, "It is said that the top three winners will be rewarded with the Garden Trial, which is a huge sum of 200 carts. I just wanted to ask if I could hand it over to the Empire. ”

"Well, why?" asked Nina, curious.

The egret suddenly burst into tears, "In this case, I will finally be able to pay off your debts." ”

At first, Fiona couldn't help but laugh, and then it also affected Nina, and the two of them giggled endlessly as if they had eaten the fruit of joy. Only the egret looked at the two with an embarrassed face, thinking hard in his heart, what ridiculous joke he had said.

A noble knight wants to pay off the debts of his allegiance through his own efforts, which is commendable, but his behavior is very stupid. Egrets, who have not experienced the education and learning of this world, will probably never understand that there are rules in other worlds that do not need to be explained.

Well, whether it's fun or whatever, no one will ever explain this question to him.
