Lady Angelica was far more surprised than she had come out of to Edward's "justifiable" refusal of her reward, and she had even forgotten what she had to say next.

In fact, not only the lady herself, but also the crowd standing on the shore waiting, from the knights to the attendants, and even the servants kneeling behind them looked at the little squire with a look of surprise, and many of them looked at the little squire with a little compassion.

What a poor young man, who looks quite smart, why is he stupid?

Even Sir Rollas, who was standing behind his lady with a stern expression, showed a little consternation on his face - that was a real knight's title, how many commoner-born squires in this world could have the opportunity to really be knighted?

Not to mention that there was a manor that could be inherited as a fiefdom, and no number of knights could ask for a good opportunity, this kid actually gave up - the guard Tassel standing next to Edward looked at him like a fool.

The guy of the same name had a knack for killing Tormund, but it looked like his brain had been transformed into a real piece of bacon by his devout clerical friend, with the sour smell of chivalry!

"Okay...... If you think so, I can take back this reward and complete your chivalry. Lady Angelica slowly came back to her senses, and did not forget to make a joke about this "fool": "Of course, I will always prepare this honor for you until someone has made a merit far beyond you." ”

"That will be my pleasure, noble lady. Edward was not annoyed, and even looked at the "interested" servants and several adults around him with some mockery, and respectfully saluted Lady Angelica, without losing the slightest courtesy: "May the Radiant Cross bless your family." ”

Lady Angelica didn't take Edward's polite words seriously, and with a slight head turned her gaze to Edward's side, who had been waiting anxiously for an unknown amount of time, the restless squire Tasso, the young swordsman who looked like he was already sweating profusely.

"As for you, Tasso. As my squire, you have fulfilled the mission I have given you - and most importantly, you have been able to complete your mission despite the tragic death of your captain, Tormond. At this point, Lady Angelica couldn't help but glance at Edward, but the little squire's expression was still peaceful, which made her feel confused and a little unconvinced.

At the very least, she didn't believe what the stupid guard said about Tormond - for he was a real fool.

"It is up to you to assume the original position of Tomund, and upon my return to The Hague Castle, I will decide at my discretion whether or not to give you the title of former Knight Master. ”

"The Radiant Cross bless you, my gracious and generous lady!" Tasso, who was finally completely relieved, wept bitterly with excitement, and knelt there with a flattering look, and even had the idea of crawling over and kissing Madame's boots. It's a pity that Mrs. Angelica didn't even look at him more, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and left, without even explaining the meaning of a few more words.

Edward, who had been standing by and watching the play, had no intention of staying longer after discovering that the little priest Webber had disembarked from the ship, and was about to turn away, but was pressed down on the shoulder by a rather steady palm.

"The sword behind your back looks pretty and a little familiar. Sir Loras stood behind Edward, his eyes casually looking at the steel sword he was carrying behind him: "Was it forged in Fort The Hague?"

"As Lady Angelica's captain of the guard, Tasso, had written to him, the sword had belonged to Monsieur Tormond. Edward turned his head without a trace, and replied with a rather calm lower brow, "Monsieur Tormund was betrayed by the sailors of his own ship and killed by pirates, which I picked up from that pirate ship. ”

He replied seamlessly, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his expression. However, Loras still smiled a little mysteriously, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Edward's answer: "You are more cautious than the last time we met, it seems that the Radiant Cross will not give the grace of the resurrection to a squire at will." ”

"The will of the Radiant Cross is not something that a mere squire of mine can understand. Edward still calmly avoided Loras's words, and smiled lightly, "As for the origin of this sword, you may want to ask the pirates." ”

For this Sir Rollas, Edward really didn't have much contact. It was only from his previous meetings that it was clear that Master Otto Kwyn of The Hague Castle trusted him, and that he seemed to have a crush on Alan's brother Serra.

But...... These were only superficial, and Edward was not sure if he had been bought by Lady Angelica, though he was not sure of it at the moment.

"It's more cautious, but it's still so arrogant. Loras snorted with his hands behind his back, but he didn't hold back even half a second. Looking at Edward's expression, which was still as calm as well water, the corners of his mouth showed a look of helplessness: "If you really want others to think that you are telling the truth, you better pretend to be scared - don't forget, you are still just an acolyte!"

Seeing the little priest with the Radiant Proverb in his arms approaching this direction, Sir Rollas finally let go of his hand and sighed softly: "Well, I think you should all be very tired, so rest well tonight - Lady Angelica has taken a hot spring in this port, and a soak in the hot bath should relieve you of the long journey." ”

"Thank you, Sir Rollas. Weber, who had just walked over, seemed to smile and thanked Rollas, who was about to leave, "May the faith of the Radiant Cross always be with you." ”

Sir Loras smiled undeniably, turned to regain his original stern expression, and walked away while admiring the morning sun, and the crowd on the docks gradually dispersed, each going about his work.

"It's just a companion, but even I can ......" The little priest's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction that was easy to meet: "Lady Angelica is really a good and pious person, Edward, what do you say?"

Edward looked at his clear mirror-like eyes, and a tangled meaning made him a little unsure whether to laugh or be depressed, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth and say, "Oh...... Madame is a good and pious person, and that's a must!"

............ The white fine linen bath towel completely wrapped the soft and delicate skin, and Allen, who was a little dizzy from the hot steam, sat half-kneeling in the pool water, holding her arms tightly in her arms, and letting the little maid behind her wipe the dust of her body for her.

"Y-Did he really say that?" asked Alan in a red-faced whisper, holding his right hand tightly on his chest, only to feel his heart beating faster and faster, and if it weren't for her back to the little maid, she might not even be able to say a word.

"It's an honor for me to protect Sir Alan Kwyn, and there's no need for such a reward!" The little maid who was busy wiping Ellen's back stopped what she was doing, and said that with an exaggerated expression in Edward's appearance, but unfortunately she couldn't help laughing before she finished speaking: "Hee-hee-haha...... It's a shame that people can't learn that look!"

"How could that obnoxious guy say such a thing? This, this is just like, like...... Like a fool?!"

"That is to say, the adults, the lords, the servants, and even the lady were frightened by this little attendant. The little maid grinned, and wiped her hand harder: "What a fool." ”

"Didn't you say that he found out that you were actually ...... Belch. The little maid suddenly shut up and stopped talking: "In that case, he must like you, although he is only a little attendant." ”

"Not really. As soon as he remembered the incident that had happened in the morning, Alan felt very angry: "He doesn't even like to talk to me—but he is a waiter, a self-righteous nasty!"

"But that's what men are, they're always on their minds, and you can't expect someone to put you first at all times. The little maid smiled and enlightened her "little master" Allen: "They are always thinking about which fool they want to duel with, and they want to let the enemy all go to hell!"

"No, no, no, no...... You haven't seen that guy before, why do you want to say good things to him?" Allen, who suddenly seemed to react, pouted his nose and glared at the maid behind him angrily: "You little traitor!"

"People haven't even seen the little attendant a few times, how can they say good things to him?" The little maid blushed all of a sudden, and her words stammered: "People are obviously ...... Clearly...... I'm thinking about you. ”

"Hey~~...... Is that really the case?" Alan smiled wickedly and squinted at the little maid, "Actually, you've seen him too, right?"

"You're such a wife...... It's too bad!" Seeing that the little maid's cheeks were hot and about to smoke, and her shoulders were trembling and shaking, the pleasure on Alan's face seemed to increase a lot.

Seeing Allen's happy appearance, the little maid also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still a little cramped on her blushing cheeks: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Angelica doesn't seem to like that little attendant very much." ”

"Hey, doesn't Mother like him?"

"Uh...... Probably not, right?" the little maid who realized that she had slipped her mouth quickly made up for it, "Because Lord Kwyn has always wanted to be a Sacred Tree Knight, and he is the squire of the Sacred Tree Knight. ”

"That's right......" Alan nodded silently, a little stunned.
