On this day, Ronald was swinging his weapon outside the village, intently repeating those simple and boring movements. Sweat soaked his back, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

As he practiced, he felt that someone seemed to be peeping at him not far away. Quietly putting away his sword, he cautiously glanced over there, and after seeing the person's appearance clearly, he smiled and said hello: "It's you, Annina, why are you standing there and not talking?"

was noticed by Ronald, and Anina waved her hand at him: "Uncle Bruno said just now that there is news from the princess's side." ”

Ronald wiped his sweat: "Really, how's it going?"

"They suggested that we had better choose one person to swear allegiance to, and that it didn't matter what else were. Annina voiced the discussion: "Father said that he is a dark necromancer, and he is not very suitable. So it's just you or Uncle Bruno. ”

"Let's go back and talk about it first. ”

Ronald walked briskly over to Annina.

She nodded, and led Ronald to the cabin where he was temporarily staying. Halfway down the road, she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, so Anina asked him, "Do you practice so hard every day?"

"Huh. Ronald shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "I remember, I was called a rookie by you back then, if you don't practice hard, then you're not just a rookie now?"

"Hee-hee. ”

Annina, who has always been in a bad mood, was suddenly teased by Ronald and laughed loudly. She covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Ha, you remember, I forgot it a long time ago." ”

At this moment, the entanglement of faith and family affection also disappeared.

"Did I say it wrong?" Seeing that Anina was in a good mood, Ronald teased again: "Beautiful Miss Annina?"

"Nasty!"

Annina smiled and gave Ronald an elbow.

He clutched his waist and deliberately shouted, "Oops." ”

"Come on. With a wave of her little hand, Anina, who was still smiling, raised her eyebrows slightly: "Listen to Uncle Bruno, your strength is likely to exceed the level of rock cutting, and you will pretend to me." ”

Ronald smiled, and put away his playful and irreverent look.

After walking quietly for a while, Annina, who was walking in front, suddenly turned her head: "How did you get it?" I heard Uncle Bruno say that he wasn't so strong when he knew you. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she and Ronald's faces were too close. Annina was startled, she quickly jumped away, a little embarrassed, but at the same time there were some inexplicable palpitations in her heart. She respects those strong people who have strength, not to mention that the appearance of the black-haired young man in front of her is also extraordinary.

She suddenly remembered Uncle Bruno's jokes, intentionally or unintentionally, and the more she thought about it, the more ripples continued to ripple in her heart. Anina couldn't help blushing a little, and her slender eyelashes blinked lightly several times. She quickly lowered her head and stole a glance at Ronald, who was still stunned. A flush crept up her melon seed face, making her feel a little hot.

Ronald too, he was stunned by Anina, who suddenly turned her head, and his face was embarrassed. After seeing her jump away quickly, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe it's because a few battles a while ago made my sword skills more proficient." ”

Taking a deep breath, Anina kept her thoughts in her heart. She waved her hands with a big grin, using this to disguise her previous intentions: "Forget it, I knew you would say that." Without giving Ronald time to speak, she quickly turned around and walked briskly forward: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you." ”

Seeing that Anina suddenly turned into a cold appearance, Ronald was a little confused, he spread his hands and quickly followed.

Back at the cabin, Ronald consulted with them for a while, and the final choice was decided to be Ronald.

Bruno patted Ronald on the shoulder with a big grin: "Anyway, at that time, you also promised that Blair to be his subordinate knight." As if remembering something, he suddenly blinked: "I remember, you said back then that you wouldn't think about it that much until you get revenge." Now ......."

"Now what?"

Seeing Bruno's unfathomable appearance, Ronald couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, hey. Bruno raised his eyelids slyly, "Oh oh, do you really want me to be so clear?"

Annina understood at this time, and she spoke for Bruno: "Princess, that princess is heroic, and you are a knight, so you will have a lot of time to contact her,"

Although she said it with a smile, she felt a little inexplicably sour in her heart.

Ronald didn't notice this, he looked at Bruno with a wry smile: "Hey, hey, I said you...... Hey, forget it, you're boring enough. ”

Seeing Ronald's inattentive expression, Anina secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She helped Ronald and counted Uncle Bruno: "That's right, Uncle Bruno, why do you always instigate Ronald to do this." You're not a big boss yourself, just don't think about your own business, and you still have to bring Ronald badly?"

"Huh?" Bruno was stunned for a moment, but soon, his mind turned.

"Haha!" he slapped his head and nodded repeatedly, but his expression was very narrow: "That's right, that's right!" He turned his head again, looked at his old friend, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful: "Hey, I said Kerry, you usually teach me a lesson." Now your daughter is here and has begun to teach me a lesson......"

The mage glared at him helplessly.

Ay.

He sighed softly.

Bruno seemed to want this effect, he gave Ronald a punch and smiled evilly: "Ronald, after becoming a knight, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, this is a virtue." ”

The mage interjected coldly: "Hurry up and find Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Oooh oh. Bruno blinked: "Looks like I've said the wrong thing again." ”

The mage lifted his leg and left, too lazy to continue to talk to him.

Ronald shrugged his shoulders: "Alright, let's go." ”

Everyone came to the princess's side, only to find that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After glancing at each other, the mage cautiously opened his mouth: "Lord Count?"

Ronald noticed that Victoria, who was sitting behind the wooden table, frowned and didn't seem to hear.

Blair raised his hand and motioned for everyone to go out first.

Walking lightly to the mining site, Blair told the truth of the matter: "Just now, Lord Helrington sent a messenger to propose to Her Royal Highness......

Hearing the news of this explosive surname, everyone couldn't help but be stunned in place. In the end, Ronald spoke: "That, isn't the Grand Duke of Hellington forty or fifty years old? Her Royal Highness the Princess is only twenty years old at most, maybe not yet?" He frowned, his face puzzled: "Everyone is so ...... difference"

"Ronald. The mage's faint tone came, "Remember what I said at that time?"

"What?" Ronald turned his head, blank on his face.

The mage repeated the words of that day: "This is politics, anything strange can happen, and any reason can be an excuse to attack. ”

Ronald still doesn't understand.

The mage didn't go any further, but Blair took the initiative to say: "As Lord Torreon said, Helrington's purpose is not to propose. ”

"Huh?" Ronald puffed out his eyes and his face was full of doubt: "Then what is his purpose......"

Bruno also put away his usual joking tone and answered Ronald's doubts seriously: "Excuses, excuses for starting wars." ”

Ronald finally dawned: "I understand. Soon he asked a ridiculous question: "Then Her Royal Highness the princess agreed, isn't it all right." As soon as the words came out, he quickly realized the stupidity of the question.

"Hey, hey. He smiled dryly, hiding his embarrassment just now: "Her Royal Highness the princess should not agree." ”

"That's right. Blair also does not intend to hide the current crisis: "Her Royal Highness the princess will naturally not agree. ”

The mage also went on to analyze: "Therefore, the rejected Grand Duke of Helrington can use the excuse of personal glory and humiliation to bring private soldiers to attack the princess's territory. ”

Ronald suddenly interjected: "Why bring private soldiers?"

"A personal excuse, of course, can only send your own private soldiers. The mage relieved him: "If he dares to lead a large army, it will be a blatant rebellion." However, since he dared to send a letter, he must be ready to rebel. ”

"That's exactly what happened. Blair glanced at the house where the princess was, his face full of sorrow. But the sorrow lingered only for a short moment on his resolute face, and then quickly dissipated.

When he turned his head, he had already returned to his previous appearance: "The situation is critical now, you have just come here, if you plan to leave, I don't mind." He glanced at the wooden house again: "I don't think Her Royal Highness the princess will mind." It's up to you to decide whether you want to stay or not. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and prepared to go back.

"Wait!"

Ronald suddenly stopped him: "Since we have agreed to stay here, we are now companions." If you slip away when you encounter trouble, such a person will not be able to stand wherever you go!"

He turned his head and looked at the mages earnestly, "Do you agree, my friend?"

"Hahaha!" Bruno punched him hard: "You kid, how can I be embarrassed to object to such a statement? That's right, if you fail, it's better to start over in another place, anyway, I'm a big bachelor." He narrowed his eyes with a sly look: "Kerry, what do you say?" ”

The mage just sighed.

However, Ronald saw appreciation and encouragement in his eyes.

Master Chong smiled gratefully, and Ronald looked at Blair seriously: "If you don't mind, Lord Blair, let's do our part." ”

Unexpectedly, Ronald's answer turned out to be like this, which made Blair silent for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he also put away his sorrow. Blair paused, protected his chest with his right hand, and performed a standard knightly salute: "Since this is the case, then I will thank you first for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Bruno laughed and quietly gave Ronald a thumbs up.
