"Ahem......!"

Rig coughed frantically, choking on the black tea that had just been squirted.

"Are you alright?"

Yuri was also taken aback, and hurriedly smoothed Rig's back in an attempt to make him more comfortable.

Marilyn frowned, looking at Liz with a slightly speechless look.

"Y-Are you alright?"

Seeing that Rige reacted so much, Liz immediately panicked again, looking like she didn't know what was going on, but always felt that she had done something wrong.

Obviously, she had just made such a bold statement, but Her Royal Highness the princess was frightened by Rige's reaction, and people didn't know whether to evaluate her as bold or cowardly.

“…… What did you just say? ”

Li Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at this poor princess, and couldn't help but ask.

"Did I hear me wrong? Or are you wrong? ”

Lizzy looked a little uneasy at Rigg's suspicious inquiry.

"Did I say it wrong?"

Her Royal Highness the princess was not confident herself.

Marilyn couldn't stand it anymore, so she could only break the silence and speak like this.

"You're talking about being a squire, not a slave, right?"

Marilyn's tone was a little cold, and she didn't know that she thought she was angry with Liz.

But Liz shook her head in a hurry.

"No, it's slavery." Liz tightened the sword in her arms and whispered, "How can someone like me be embarrassed to offer to be a squire?" ”

“…… What's wrong with people like you? Marilyn's frowning brows became tighter and tighter, making her voice colder, and said, "You are Her Royal Highness, or one of the most outstanding descendants of the royal family's generation, generally speaking, even if you propose to be an attendant to others, this kind of thing is an unprecedented practice of yourself, why should you be so inferior?" ”

Liz didn't seem to agree with Marilyn's statement, and they all mumbled for a while, and then stopped talking.

This seemed to make Marilyn even more unhappy, wanting to say something more, but feeling that she didn't have that position, causing her to exude an unhappy atmosphere all over her body.

"Wait, let me figure it out first." Li Ge stretched out his hand to stop the conversation between the two and said, "Whether it's a squire or a slave, it seems to me that it's an unprecedented thing, right?" ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why did you suddenly offer to be my slave...... Uh, what about the squire? ”

Rig thought about it for a moment, and finally changed the word "slave" to something like "squire".

There was no way, he was afraid that he would think crookedly.

Her Royal Highness the dignified princess, who is still so beautiful and has such a nice figure, actually keeps saying that she wants to be a slave, if this is changed in the previous life, I am afraid that it can be written by the lsps into hundreds of chapters with unspeakable expansion.

In order to avoid inner depravity, Li Ge could only change his words and force himself not to think crookedly.

However, Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly burst into tears.

"Am I not qualified?" Liz stood up, bowed to Rieger, and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I got carried away, people like me really don't even have the qualifications to be slaves, and I ask you to forgive me for transgression." ”

As she spoke, Liz pleaded with tears in the corners of her eyes and a pitiful expression that exploded with pity.

"Either the Sword Saint will treat me as a paramecium accidentally stuck to his body, or a dog's tail grass accidentally picked on the side of the road, as long as he doesn't throw me away, let me do anything."

Hearing this, the corners of Riege's mouth twitched slightly.

Even Yuri and Marilyn looked speechless, looking at Liz with strange eyes.

"W-Isn't that okay?" Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Liz immediately burst into tears again, bowed again, and said, "That's right, paramecium and dog's tail grass like me will definitely be disgusting if they touch it, and if they dirty the hands of the Sword Saint, it will be too damned." ”

"Just treat me as an insignificant speck of dust or an inconspicuous pebble to take with you."

Saying this, Liz cautiously raised her head and said a word to Rieger.

"That's ...... All right......? ”

In that way, as pitiful as you want, you can be as pitiful as you are.

So much so that Li Ge obviously didn't do anything, but he suddenly felt that he was not a heinous villain, and he actually revealed a strong sense of guilt in his heart.

Even Yuri and Marilyn looked at Rig in unison, giving people the feeling that they were asking for guilt.

"It's hard, isn't that okay?"

Liz was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she wanted to continue to bow and apologize to Riger.

"Stop!"

Rig quickly reached out and stopped her.

Liz froze there suddenly, looking at Rieg with tears in her eyes, like a child who had been reprimanded by an adult, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

“…… You sit down first, wait here for a while. Li Ge was silent for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "I have something to deal with, and I will come back to talk to you in detail later." ”

Leaving him with such words, Rig stood up and grabbed Yuri next to him.

"Let's go, let's go outside."

Rig didn't give Yuri time or a chance to react at all, grabbed her and ran out, feeling like she was running away.

Only Marilyn and Liz were left, staring at each other.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a stiffness.

…………

Outside the reception room, around the corner of the hallway.

Rig took Yuri out and brought it straight here.

"What's the matter with this princess?" With a rare look of confusion, Rieg said to Yuri, "I almost thought she was abused by me or something, you know?" ”

“…… I know. Yuli smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that the ninth princess, who only began to emerge this year and was rumored in the royal capital a while ago, would actually have such a character." ”

"It's not personality anymore, it's personality." Li Ge sighed, calmed himself down, and then asked again, "So, what is the situation now?" ”

Feeling that he couldn't talk to Liz, Li Ge could only start with Yuri.

Yoon says that Yuri and Marilyn seem to have a clear idea of the purpose of Liz's visit, and in that case, Rieg can only consult with Yuri.

The wry smile on Yuri's face suddenly disappeared and became less pleasant.

"I think, it should be the royal family who ordered the ninth princess to come to your side and be your attendant, right?"

When she said this, Yuri's expression was as if she remembered some unbearable experience, and she was extremely unhappy.

"The royal family ordered her to come and be my attendant?" Rig finally recovered and asked, "Why?" ”

To Rieger's question, Yuri gave a cold answer.

"This is an old trick of the royal family." Yuri then said, "You know, right? If a mage wants to conclude a squire contract with a swordsman, the first prerequisite is to grant a wish to the person of the contract. ”

This is common sense, not only for magicians and swordsmen, but also for ordinary civilians.

The squire contract is a fairly equal contract and is beneficial to both parties to the contract.

A mage needs a strong squire to protect himself and buy himself time to use magic in battle.

The squire made a wish to the magician as a condition for respecting the magician as lord and swearing allegiance to him or her.

If the squire does not make a wish, or if the mage's side is not capable of fulfilling the squire's wish, the squire contract will not take effect.

Even if you promise it in advance, but you can't do it later, the squire can revoke the contract at any time and leave the allegiance of the magician.

Under such circumstances, some of the superiors came up with the idea of using the acolyte contract.

"There are a lot of high-level people, and they will cultivate some valuable, powerful or special talents around them."

Yuri explained to Rige.

"These talents are not for their own use, but for people they think have greater value."

They will order these people who have been raised by themselves to conclude a vassalage contract with the target they like, and put forward the wish of the target person to be beneficial to them as a superior person, so as to achieve some ulterior purpose.

"For example, the royal family will send some of the talents they have cultivated to some nobles with great influence and status, so that these talents can make a wish to the nobles who are magicians to "never betray the kingdom", so as to restrain these nobles and prevent them from doing things harmful to the kingdom."

Yuri said coldly.

"As long as these nobles are attracted to these talents and do not have the intention of murdering the country, then they will agree to this wish."

In this way, with the bondage of the contract, these nobles can no longer do things that are not good for the state.

The royal family can also completely reassure them and give them a certain degree of trust.

This is a method used by the royal family, and it is also a method used by many nobles to restrain their excellent subordinates.

This method is very popular not only in the Kingdom of Jinas, but also in the rest of the Arcasia continent.

Many superiors will even use this method to test their subordinates to see if they are willing to conclude such a contract.

If so, then it proves that they have no intention of harming themselves.

Otherwise, they are unfaithful and dissident.

Now, that's what happened to Rige.

"I think they must think that even if they can't tie you up in this country, they have to make sure that you won't be bad for this country, so they will send someone to be your attendant, so that the other party can make you a wish like "can't be bad for the kingdom."

Yuri turned to Rigg and looked at him.

"It's just that I didn't expect that they would be willing to send His Royal Highness Liz to you, it seems that they attach great importance to you, the youngest sword master and tactical level magician in history, and they are very worried that the person who sent you over will not be enough to make you tempted."

Hearing this, Rig also frowned.
