Outside the small living room, Ain and Will stood guard outside the door, and the entire corridor was empty, only inside the room, and a few vague voices could occasionally be heard.

"It's funny, don't you say?" Probably too bored, Ain took the initiative to talk to Will: "That...... Caesar could have behaved so childishly. ”

"Watch your words, Knight Ain, you're from House Talboa. Adjutant Will still said in a serious tone: "Your father swore allegiance to Caesar, and the knights and people of the Talboya family's realm have also sworn allegiance to Caesar. ”

"My father is my father, and he will be loyal to whoever he likes, but that doesn't mean that he is me! I am Al Yin Talboa, not my father!" Al Yin suddenly became angry and said angrily, "I only offer my loyalty and glory to those I am willing to be loyal to." ”

"Unreasonable. Will shook his head helplessly and glanced at Ain: "It's just ...... Unreasonable!"

Al Yin looked at his face and didn't speak. Gently lowered her head, the female knight, who was originally very energetic, became a little lonely, and her straight waist was also bent a little.

Will looked at her like this, and felt a little unbearable in his heart: "I'm sorry, if I hurt you, I'm allowed to go to you, but I still stick to my point of view, as a ............ woman"

"Again, again, again. My father, the knights, and the servants of the house, all looked at me in this way. The knightess's voice was as subtle as the fluttering of her lips: "Ain is a freak, a freak who never understands, what did I do wrong? I just want to live more freely, weishenme listen to them for everything?weishenme...... I can't be a real knight, I can do it!"

"Before my first trip to Caesarea, my father told me that he was going to put me next to Caesar and let me be as ...... as I could Try to ...... Grab his attention. Probably feeling unspeakable, Ain's voice became choppy: "I lost, but it was my own victory. To be able to hold the flag for Her Highness Helena, to be able to see what the real battlefield is like, is really ...... It's so delightful!"

Will listened quietly, his eyes falling on the ends of the girl's brown hair, and he didn't say a word. The first time he found out that this guy who was a little arrogant and awkward and childish was actually not so unreasonable. She's just a little boyish, no different from the young squires who dream of getting ahead.

"Your swordsmanship is okay!" Will said with a smile, causing the girl to look up at him, "But...... Whether you also know how to command soldiers, it is not necessary to fight side by side with them. It takes more courage and the charisma to earn their trust, which takes learning and honing. ”

"Of course, you are Your Highness's bodyguard, so it's easier in this regard. Will nodded, and his tone was brisk: "Soldiers want to see experienced commanders lead them, and they have their own judgment on the leader's ability, so how to make them trust, the best way is to be with them - you are a woman in this regard, and you may be slightly weaker, so you need to be stronger than all the generals in this world, only then will someone obey you!"

"............" The girl didn't say anything, but took out a small box from the pocket of her clothes and handed it to Will: "This, the snack I bought at the candy shop, gave it to you." ”

"weishenme?" Will raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Moreover, weishenme is candy?"

"Xiexie, you saved me last time. Ain turned his head to the side and didn't look at Will's face: "I don't want to owe you a favor, this...... It's very expensive! It's a thank you gift. ”

"Uh, this...... xiexie your kindness. Will scratched his head: "But the thing is still forgotten, my teeth are not very good, I can't eat sweets." ”

"Really?" Ain asked coldly, and then walked over to the window across the hallway, clutching the small box in his hand and walking without looking back.

"What are you going to do?"

"Throw it away!" "Al Yin snorted: "Since someone doesn't like it, then it's better to throw it away, anyway, it's just a random one, it doesn't matter!"

"Didn't you just say that it was quite expensive, why did you have to throw it away?!" Will shook his head, his brows furrowed, and his expression was very entangled: "Really...... Is...... Is...... Unreasonable!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Weishenme is going to do such a thing, do you think it's interesting?!, my honorable Caesar, Lord Julian!"

In the living room, Helena looked angrily at Theodore Julian, who had no "repentance" in front of her, and her voice was full of anger: "Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you were dying?!

"Didn't I want to surprise you?" Theodore wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that the "little princess" in front of him would ignore him, so he had to take it back: "Who knew that your knights were so vigilant? Of course, there is one thing I didn't lie to you, someone was indeed assassinated." ”

"My Foreign Secretary, Virgil, told me that there was a good chance that there was some spy lurking in Caesarea, so ...... I asked Elendil to pretend to be me and go to Caesarea. Theodore said, "If 'Jihua goes well', it is likely that Elendil has been ambushed by the Assassins somewhere along the way." ”

"The fundamental reason I've made so much effort to come to Haringos is because I want to know one thing. Theodore looked into the eyes that were brighter than sapphires, and Helena was a little overwhelmed: "Do you still think of me as your friend, do you still trust me?"

"Weishenme is going to ask that?" Helena also calmed down: "If you want my life, you have too many chances, don't you? Do you think I won't believe you?"

"I'm getting scared, Helena. What you can't imagine is that indescribable fear. Theodore said in a deep voice: "It is becoming more and more difficult for me to choose, I don't know how to face you, and I even think about it...... But I couldn't, and I grew more and more terrified. ”

"Because I'm Pendragon?" Helena asked softly with a smile, "I'm Pendragon, and I do what Pendragon is supposed to do." You're my friend, so I'll never forget everything you ever said to me!"

"Hehehe...... Diodore chuckled a few times and lowered his head: "It seems that this should be what I said." ”

"So what do you have to worry about?" Helena sat across from Theodore, leaning lightly on the table, tilting her head and blinking: "Could it be that you are afraid of losing me?"

"Let's change the subject!" Theodore hurriedly said: "The more you talk about it, the more unreasonable it becomes, you are the princess of the empire, and I am Caesar." I can't kneel down to you, just as you can't...... No way...... It couldn't be ......."

"What can't be?" Helena's smile was even worse, her big eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and her long eyelashes trembled: "Weishenme won't continue?"

"It's impossible!" Theodore bit his lip and turned his head away, "Let's talk about the assassin, do you know something?"

"Nothing but two Roman swords. Helena shook her head: "I have never left the Holy Palace since I was sensible, and I only know a few of my brothers' close ministers and no one else." ”

"It is likely that the Assassin was someone who fought with me at the castle of Severcro, who had seen the Priests of Kaisso use two-handed swordsmanship, and who probably knew me. Theodore said in a deep voice, "I want to see that guy." ”

"In the name of Jupiter, the god king, and Mars, the god of war, no matter what the purpose of this guy is, and how powerful he is!" said Theodore, "I will make him pay!"

"I'm afraid you may be disappointed, Your Excellency. A deep voice walked in from outside the door, bending slightly towards Helena: "I wish you good health, Your Highness the Princess, and Your Excellency Julian!"

"Commander Terenus. Helena quickly got up from the table and sat up straight: "Is there something wrong?" Suddenly come in at this time. ”

"Yes, there is something, and it is a serious problem. Terenus frowned and said, "That assassin just killed himself!"

"What?!" Theodore got up from his chair and looked at Terenus, "I'm sorry, but please make it clear, the situation is also important to me!"

"It's the keeper of the dungeon...... They had 'a little bit of a problem'. Terenus said, "As soon as he untied the rope while feeding the fellow, he crashed headlong into the iron railing, shattered his skull, and killed him directly!"

"I've never seen such a fatality, even suicide. The old man sighed: "The other party is dead and doesn't want us to know what's in his head." ”

"Weishenme?" asked Theodore, "what did the guard tell him?"

"This ......" Terenus hesitated for a moment, "Maybe you ......"

"Tell him, Terenus. Helena stood up: "Don't hide it. ”

"We told him you were coming. Terenus sighed: "I have always interrogated him as your subordinate before, after all, people who know two-handed swordsmanship in the north only know about your god of war sacrifice at present. ”

"In other words, the other party knows me. Theodore muttered quietly, "There is no proof of death now." ”
