As the temple was in full swing preparing for the Divine Apocalypse Festival, time passed quickly.

December 30, 995 in the world calendar, the last day of the year.

The festival is tomorrow, and during the academy's holidays, Roy and Arya are not idle, but even busier.

After breakfast that day, Roy and Arya went to the Ellan Mansion and the Knights' headquarters to make final preparations for the upcoming festival tomorrow.

In the past few days, he has been in and out of the Ellan Mansion frequently, and the guards in the mansion have already known Roy, and when they saw him coming, they immediately saluted and let him go.

Roy made his way to Vera's study and found d'Artagnan waiting in the doorway.

"Good morning."

Roy walked over, "Is Her Highness Vera in the study?" ”

"Hmm." d'Artagnan nodded, "She's meeting guests inside, let's go in later." ”

When he said this, d'Artagnan's expression was a little strange, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Roy sat side by side with him, leaning against the windowsill in the hallway, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

D'Artagnan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you'll know right away, and it's okay to tell you, the person Her Highness Vera is meeting with is also a legal envoy."

"His name is Jeno, and he was only sixteen years old when he became a legal envoy five years ago, which also caused quite a stir at the time."

As he spoke, he glanced at Roy: "Of course, becoming a legal envoy at the age of sixteen is not the same as becoming a knight at the age of sixteen.

"The main reason why it caused a shock at that time was because of his background."

"Origin?" Roy asked curiously, "Could it be that Mr. Jeno is from a commoner?" ”

"It's more exaggerated than that."

d'Artagnan shook his head, "I forgot to tell you that Jeno is his full name. ”

Roy was stunned for a moment: "There is a name and no surname, is he from the dungeon?" ”

In Sidney, only dungeon dwellers do not have their own surnames.

For example, Firefly (Hitomi) and Nightingale (Leeds), even if they become inheritors and enroll in the Inheritor Academy, they only change their names and do not have their own surnames.

D'Artagnan bowed his head and said, "Actually, people from this kind of dungeon are usually not favored.

"Even if they become inheritors, because they don't have the excellent bloodline left by the inheritor family, their talents are often relatively average.

"However, there are no absolutes, since the dungeon born Jeno awakened the inheritance and enrolled in the inheritance academy, he won the second year's house competition "House Ribbon" and obtained the qualification for the Holy Land Tour.

He then became an envoy on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a result that surprised us at the time. Because the law envoy from the dungeon is the first time in a hundred years.

"Speaking of which, he is the thirty-fourth legal envoy of Sidney, and after him, Arya and you."

"I see." Roy sighed, "It seems that everyone who becomes a legal envoy has their own legendary story." ”

After listening to d'Artagnan's introduction, he couldn't help but feel a little more fond of this Jeno.

Because he had been to the dungeon and fought with Hitomi and the members of the Black Flag Mercenary Regiment, he not only did not dislike the people who came from the dungeon, but also had a trace of affection.

Presumably, when Jeno first came to the Inheritor Academy, not many people were optimistic about him, but he came to this point step by step with his own hard work and talent.

It's amazing to think about.

"Don't be in a hurry to admire others just yet."

"Now you've decided to be the chief knight of Her Highness Vera, but do you know?

"Before that, after I refused to be the Chief Imperial Knight...... This chief spot was actually originally reserved for him!

"In other words, you are actually rivals, but Her Highness Vera chose you after seeing both of you separately."

Thinking about it, you also know how big the position of chief imperial knight is, but all qualified young talents will definitely compete for the election.

As he introduced, Jeno is twenty-one years old and is the closest unmarried male lawyer to Vera.

Referring to Vera's mother, Her Royal Highness Shireen, she chose Clinton, a lawmaker who was about the same age as her, to make him her chief royal knight, and finally married him.

Based on past experience, Jeno may be the best fit to be Vera's chief royal knight, and the person she marries.

However, at the end of the year, Roy became the new lawyer of Sidney through the Holy Land tour.

This directly caused the Ellan family to temporarily change their plans, and urgently added Roy's name to the list of candidates for the chief royal knight.

After all, although Jeno was also a lawyer, he was born in the dungeons, and there had been opposition to him taking such an important position from the beginning.

How can a "pariah" in a dungeon be worthy of His Highness the Holy Maiden of Sidney's high status?

Of course, there are also those who oppose Roy, arguing that he is too young to take on the role of Chief Imperial Knight.

And he already has a marriage contract, and he can't be Vera's marriage partner.

Although the sons or daughters of the past generations did not always marry their chief royal knights, it was always a sure thing for the family to be able to recruit and bind a legal envoy through a marriage contract.

But in the end, Vera made a decision after meeting Roy and ended the dispute.

This turmoil in the selection of the former knight was watched by d'Artagnan, who was eating melons on the side, from beginning to end.

And the party Roy, I don't know how many twists and turns there have been behind the selection of a chief imperial knight.

"Now that the candidate has been decided......"

Roy scratched his head, "What else does Jeno have to do with us?" ”

D'Artagnan said leisurely: "If there is no more contact, he will not talk to His Highness in the study."

"Even if he loses the title of Chief Imperial Knight, he is still ready to become His Highness's third Imperial Knight, and Jeno is more committed to this position than we can imagine.

"Anyway, he's a rare lawgiver in Sidney, and I think whoever it is, he'll gladly welcome an envoy to join, right?"

"That is, he will become our colleague?" Roy understood what he meant.

At this moment, the door to the study was opened, and d'Artagnan said, "Let's go in." ”

As the two approached the study, Vera sat at the desk, and on the opposite seat sat a young man with long gray hair, who was supposed to be D'Artagnan's Jeno.

Seeing Roy's arrival, Vera stood up and nodded, "Roy, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Jeno, who is also a lawyer."

"Mr. Jeno has decided to become a knight, and from today onwards, you will be colleagues."

Seeing Vera stand up, Jeno followed suit.

He was tall, dressed in a neat black suit, with several unnamed gilded medals on his chest and a well-fitting smile on his face.

Anyone who looks at it at first glance will think that this decent young man is proud, not the gloomy dungeon.

Jeno turned his head to look at d'Artagnan, nodded at him, and then turned his gaze to Roy.

Sure enough, he was very young, a boy who was not yet sixteen years old, and his milk had not dried up...... Heh, he's the one who robbed me of the chief?

The smile on Jeno's face remained unchanged, and he stretched out his right hand to Roy: "Roy Arnold, I have heard your story and admired your name for a long time. ”

Roy was silent on the surface, but he was faintly wary in his heart.

The look in his eyes was not deceiving, and he sensed a hint of hostility in Jeno's smile.

But now that he's reached out, Roy isn't ready to snub people.

He stretched out his hand and was about to shake it back, but as if he remembered something, Jeno withdrew his hand again, and said to Vera:

"By the way, Your Highness, the matter you ordered needs to be dealt with by me as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to watch your succession ceremony tomorrow."

Vera nodded, "That's hard work for you, Mr. Jeno." ”

Jeno smiled kindly: "It is my life's honor to be able to serve you with what Your Highness said. ”

With that, he placed his right fist on his left chest, performed a standard knightly salute, and then turned away.

Looking at his departing back, Roy put down his half-stretched hand, thoughtfully.

Thinking of d'Artagnan's previous rhetoric, it seems that Jeno sees himself as a competitor.

After all, from his point of view, he not only intervened sideways, cutting off the possibility of him becoming the chief, but also indirectly ruined his relationship with Vera?

Unlike the following d'Artagnan, Jeno's attitude towards Vera can be said to be quite respectful and polite.

In addition, the age difference between them is not big, if you really want to say that Jano does not have any intention of pursuing Vera......

No man would believe it.

But...... What does this have to do with me?

Roy felt so innocent.

I have a wife, and it doesn't prevent you from pursuing others, you can chase after you if you want.

It's not that the saint doesn't marry if she is not the chief, don't make it so bitter and hateful!

Besides, even if you're not the chief, you can also play light and heat as a knight?

Because he still has to take care of his studies and the affairs of the strategy team, he can't actually devote himself to the work of the Imperial Knight.

If Jeno wants to express himself and do more, he even likes to see it.

It's a pity that Geno's personality is different from d'Artagnan.

D'Artagnan had an easy-going personality and had just talked about it on the first day of their meeting.

You are your chief, and I touch my fish, and everyone is happy.

Although Jeno also has his own careful thoughts, he has thorns on his body, and there is no room for communication with people at all.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

The details of the handshake between the two were seen by d'Artagnan on the side, and he couldn't help but laugh: "You see, this is the reason why I don't want to be the chief, there are too many troubles."

"But, young people always have to be a little stressed to grow up, come on, guy juice."

Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, does it? The corners of Roy's mouth twitched slightly.

"Haha...... Mr. Jeno has a relatively straight personality. ”

Vera smiled bitterly and played a round game, "But he is serious and has a strong work ability, I think with him, the burden on your body will be a little lighter......"

As soon as these words came out, Roy and d'Artagnan's eyes wandered, and they immediately stopped talking.

Your Highness, I'm really sorry that we are paddling monsters!
