"Mr. Falarr, we don't know each other very well, please call me Miss Lofeel, not Catherine. Catherine's expression seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost, and she looked at Nicholas who was chasing after her very seriously, and waited until Nicholas walked in, and then said lightly: "Calling me Catherine without my consent does not match your royal aristocratic demeanor, it will make people think that you are very ...... Frivolous. The word frivolous accentuates the tone.

"Catherine, I ......," Nicholas could not continue, when Catherine waved his hand to interrupt him, "I repeat, Mr. Farral, please call me Miss Lofel, I think with your demeanor you will not need me to emphasize it a third time." ”

"All right, Miss Lofel. Nicholas exhaled and calmed down: "Miss Lofel, I have always wanted to see you again since the Knight Academy separated, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity, and today I finally got my wish." ”

"I wonder what Mr. Nicholas is looking for me?" asked Catherine coldly.

"Come back to Faral. Nicholas said directly: "As long as you are willing to come back, I promise that you can restore the title and status of the Lofele family soon."

"Restore the title and status?" Catherine smiled, and her smile hid an indescribable sneer: "How can it be restored?

"This is the most reasonable and straightforward approach. Nicholas didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Catherine's words at all, and said solemnly: "No matter what happened in the last few generations, no matter what you think of me, but you are a Farrar after all, and you should come back." Moreover, you are a knight, and you will not forget the loyalty in chivalry, as a Ferrar knight, you should be loyal to the lord and serve the country. ”

"I think you're getting two things wrong, Mr. Falar. First, I don't have any interest in restoring the family title, no, in other words, I think I'm happier not to restore the title, so I don't think about restoring the family's past glory at all. Catherine kept her smile unchanged, but her voice became colder and colder: "Second, as a royal family in the country of knights, I regret that you have misunderstood the meaning of loyalty in chivalry. ”

Without waiting for Nicholas to refute, Catherine quickly continued, and said in an admiring tone: "The sage Nelly once said that the loyalty of a knight is not to the monarch or the nobility, but to justice, justice and faith, and this is true loyalty, this is true chivalry. A hundred years ago, Lord Nelly said the same thing to you, but I didn't expect that after a hundred years, you still can't understand true chivalry. As a country of knights, this is really a pity. ”

More than a hundred years ago, during Falar's several invasions of the Land of Sand, Farrar had repeatedly used the loyalty of knights as a breakthrough to persuade Nelly to join the army, but Nelly refused. It wasn't until the last time that the unbearable Nelly uttered the above paragraph, which had been regarded as a taboo for rebellion by the royalty and upper nobles of Falar, but it was praised by professionals and regarded as an oracle by many freelancers.

"Hellish loyalty, damn sages. Nicholas clenched his fists and muttered hatefully, but he didn't see the slightly narrowed eyes of Pannis, who had been silent, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I'm ......," Nicholas was about to say something, but he glanced at Pannis, who had been standing aside, with great dissatisfaction, and said in a tone that seemed to be a negotiation but with a command, "Sir, I have something I want to talk to Miss Lofel, I don't think you would mind leaving here early and give us a little personal space, right?"

Pannis smiled warmly and said sincerely, "Actually, I don't mind. ”

"Huh?" Nicholas was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what he had heard, and said in a tone of disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Your Royal Highness. Pannis took off his top hat and pressed it lightly to his chest, bowing impeccably in a tone full of respect: "I say, I'm sorry, but I mind, and very much." ”

After saying that, Pannis straightened up again, put on his hat, and continued to smile warmly, "Just like if I break into your ball, propose to your female companion in front of you, and ask you to provide us with a private space, I think you will mind, well, very much." ”

"Good. Nicholas stared at Pannis and nodded, a gold-level bodyguard behind him leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Nicholas sighed, walked a few steps, and stood in front of Pannis, and the two bodyguards also followed closely behind Nicholas, not leaving a single step.

Nicholas walked up to Pannis, gave him a deep look, and said in a deep voice, "A high-level professional of the silver rank, right?" It's very good, young high-level professionals, with a great future, but unfortunately, they just haven't learned to put themselves in the right position. You won't understand, in the eyes of the powerful, there is no difference between a silver-level professional and an ordinary civilian. Maybe a gold-level professional can, but with you as a silver professional, it's far from contempt for power. You know what? If I want to, I can give a random signal, and I don't even need to give an order, and there will be a lot of people waiting in line to kill you. So, I think you should think about it a little more carefully, and I'll give you another chance, I don't think you mind leaving here early, right?"

The smile on Pannis's face became even brighter, and he stretched out his left hand and patted Catherine's hand holding his right arm, and whispered with a smile: "Honorable Royal Highness, you are also a professional, and you have just been promoted to the bronze rank, right?" He is both a professional and the heir to the throne with a great future. It's a pity that you have just misinterpreted the meaning of chivalry, and you have made two more mistakes. ”

"First, this is Rhea, a place of neutrality, a capital of knowledge, not your royal palace of the Faral Empire, nor your prince's mansion. Pannis's left hand stretched out, raised two fingers in front of him, and after saying the first one, he put one away, leaving only one index finger back in front of him: "Maybe in Farlar you are used to issuing orders, used to no one will refuse you, but unfortunately, here your nobility, your status as a prince will not bring you any preferential treatment, and you are no different from ordinary commoners." If you dare to order murder here, I think in a few days, Odin or Antuin will be offended by the dignity of the demigods and visit your Falar mansion in person, and even if you survive, I guess the angry emperor will let you say goodbye to your heir from now on, do you think I'm right?"

"Second, you are a prince and have a noble status, so you are very careful and bring bodyguards when you go out. But you don't understand, even if the bodyguard follows you closely, even if the bodyguard is a high-level professional, even if the bodyguard is a gold, two gold, and even a legend over there. Pannis's erected index finger shook slightly in the air, pointing at one of the bodyguards when he spoke of a gold, pointing at another when talking about two gold, and when he said a legend, pointing at a middle-aged man nearby. The strange thing is that when these three high-level professional bodyguards who have been through a lot of battles pointed over, each time Pannis pointed at a person, the person being pointed at was like encountering the most terrible thing in the world, and took several steps back in a row. Pannis's speech was not slow, and his fingers were shaking, so the three bodyguards hurriedly took a few steps back almost at the same time, allowing Pannis's outstretched fingers to fall on the prince's chest without hindrance.

"Look, look. Pannis continued to maintain a bright smile, ignoring the nervous and fearful looks of the three bodyguards, and his fingers lightly drew circles on Nicholas's chest: "No matter how many bodyguards you have, no matter how comprehensive you are, what can you do? Of course, I'm definitely not as good as you, you're a noble prince, you just need to signal, I still have to move my fingers. Thankfully, though, it's not too much of a hassle to move your fingers, right? ”

The corners of Nicholas' eyes twitched constantly, his fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to move, and he looked down at Pannis's fingers gently drawing circles on his chest, as if they were teasing each other.

"So to speak. Pannis's voice was soft and soft: "A smart man like you, you don't need me to go too far to understand what I'm trying to say, right?"

Nicholas gritted his teeth, cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, his voice was angry with a little fear, and finally nodded: "I understand." ”

"Clever. Pannis finally withdrew the finger on Nicholas's chest and patted Nicholas on the shoulder very kindly: "I knew that a noble person like you must be a very smart person, and I was not mistaken. ”

Catherine blinked, and reached out to pat Nicholas on the other shoulder: "Yes, smart Mr. Farrar, I hope we don't have to say goodbye." ”

Pannis and Catherine smiled at each other, ignoring Nicholas, who was still standing there, and walked to the side with his hands, no longer in a hurry to leave the ballroom.

Nicholas stood in place, his body trembling with anger, and his voice was irrepressible with murderous intent: "What the hell is going on with the three of you?"

The three bodyguards had already gathered around Nicholas to reprotect him, and when they heard Nicholas's question, they all hung their heads in shame. The middle-aged man of the Legendary Rank said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. When he pointed his finger just now, it was as if he had already launched an attack on me, and I could only dodge the position of the attack by retreating, but I subconsciously retreated. ”

"What about the two of you?" Nicholas stared at the other two gold-level bodyguards, "Is that the same?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The bodyguards looked down at the ground and replied in muffled voices.

"Hehe, that's good, Silver? That's what you call Silver?" Nicholas asked with suppressed anger, "Are you sure he's really Silver?"

"This ......" The Legendary-level bodyguard thought about it for a long time, but couldn't give an answer.

"I see, that is. Nicholas asked, "The next time he tries to kill me, you're still not sure to stop him?"

The bodyguards thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"I see. Nicholas sighed: "I should have known that he was not simple, how could he be a simple person who could stand so close to that woman? ”

"Your Highness, should we ......" The Legendary Rank Bodyguard glanced in the direction of Pannis and Catherine, and as soon as he turned his gaze, Pannis turned back and showed a bright smile as if he had sensed it.

"He's right, I'm still in a precarious position, and if something happens, my father will be disappointed in me. Nicholas shook his head: "Let go of this matter first, and when I succeed to the throne, there is time to slowly settle accounts with him and go." ”

At Nicholas's order, the four of them left the venue in disappointment.
