Chapter 174 Princess Ines

There is no more decoration on the body except the ring on the finger that symbolizes the identity.

The black leather long coat with a vertical collar is bound by a simple copper buckle wide belt, making the tall wearer look slim and decent.

Black hair, black eyes, black dress, black boots.

Except for the skin, the dark color that is integrated and inseparable is the first impression that Ines feels.

But the handsome face with clear lines and the youthful and energetic look neutralize the deep feeling brought by the dress. Its peaceful and friendly temperament makes people not feel the seriousness and coldness conveyed by the dress.

Just looking at the appearance, such a graceful black knight is far from the "lustful" impression given by Agatha.

"Your Highness, this man has been staring at you from the day he entered the city to the ceremony banquet." Agatha followed the footsteps of the master and reminded quietly.

Hearing the reminder of the chief guard, Ines turned to raise her eyebrows.

Well, that possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, most people are not what they seem.

But as long as you have enough ability, it is not bad.

Come here now?

Seeing that the princess and the fat noble man who was suspected to be her male companion separated, Leon, who was planning to find an opportunity to chat with her, saw that she greeted Earl Elliver and took the initiative to walk towards him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The other party is a princess, what reason does she have to take the initiative to find him?

Although the probability of Olivia being exposed is very small, Leon still prays that it is not the worst possibility.

Mentally alert, he put down the wine glass, showed a polite smile, and took the initiative to touch his chest and bow to the princess who came in front of him.

Ines put away the ceremonial fan, held her hands in front of her waist, and nodded gently in return.

"Your Highness, it is an honor to meet you. Today's banquet is particularly glorious because of your arrival. May I ask if there is anything I can do for you?"

Leon spoke first.

Although he was worried, since the other party took the initiative to come, he avoided the idea of ​​chatting with her.

"Relax and enjoy the banquet, Sir Pendragon. I'm just curious about the brave 'snake slayer' in the poems of County Cursos." Ines said softly.

"I'm lucky to have heard of it, but the details of the poem are mostly rumors. The exaggerated content of killing the evil snake baron was made up by a bard and can't be taken seriously." Leon clarified.

In this world, it's not strange to have nicknames. Not only knights, but also ordinary people from the people to the king, all have various titles and nicknames.

Just like Olivia was called "Golden Lion" by the village in the past.

Some titles are because of famous deeds.

Some are simply because the name is too common, and a title is needed in front to distinguish it from others, such as "Cripple", "Sheep Handler", "Born Under the Bridge". There are countless such strange nicknames.

Compared with the nickname "Snake Slayer" that Goliad made up for himself, he prefers the nickname "Griffin" given to him by Elifer.

The latter is at least related to him, he does have a griffin companion.

As for the former, it is actually Olivia who killed the "snake slayer" of the serpent baron Doson in the story.

Because he initially claimed to have killed Baron Doson in order to help old Brian conceal his tracks, I think this also led to the dragon poet adopting the public statement circulated among the surrounding people when he flew to Cossos County to collect materials.

"Can't the poem be taken as true~? You are so humble. The legend of the griffin knight is not false after all, right?" The princess raised her fan and smiled.

Leon was alert after hearing this and said, "The title of Griffin Knight is actually a bit exaggerated. But a while ago, my housekeeper said that a beautiful and noble blonde lady came to Selva to see the Griffin. Could it be you, Your Highness, that day?"

Faced with this inquiry, Ines nodded generously and admitted, "Please forgive me for lying to cover up my identity that day. I don't want my sudden visit to disturb you."

Disturbing

Leon was slightly surprised. What? Is there a hidden meaning?

Just when he was suspicious, Ines showed a curious expression and continued, "It's a pity that I was unlucky that day and didn't see the Griffin. Did you ride it to Glade County this time? Just like my father rode a dragon."

"Well, this is exactly the exaggeration of the rumor I want to talk about." Leon was relieved when he saw that the other party didn't mention Olivia at all in his words.

He then explained on the topic of the griffin: "The griffin and I are not in a master-rider relationship. We are actually friends who have saved each other's lives.

In front of you, I can only tell the truth. I have never had the honor of being carried by it to fly. In fact, it only chose to fly to Selva occasionally to visit me until the last month."

"So that's how it is." Ines's green eyes flickered slightly, and she felt admiration in her heart, of course not just because of the other party's honesty.

She heard rumors that this knight fought against a large number of enemies with a small number of people in a territory conflict, and she thought it was relying on the power of the griffin.

If there is the help of that legendary beast, it is not surprising to defeat an unprepared army.

But since it is not relying on the griffin.

The princess was a little surprised, and her tone was adjusted accordingly.

She showed the other party the amazement that should be shown at this moment: "So, more than two months ago, you defeated a thousand Gunar troops with only two hundred soldiers, relying entirely on your own bravery and talent?"

Hearing Inis' sweet and lovely voice praising softly, those beautiful eyes that revealed admiration made Leon's heart tingle.

I have to say that having such a beautiful girl praise him is indeed very touching to a man's sultry heart.

Who doesn't like the look of respect and admiration from a beautiful girl?

In particular, this look made him miss the memory of Olivia's eyes sparkling under the Selva Windmill Tower when she talked about everything he had seen.

are very similar.

However, Leon didn't know whether it was because of the lover's filter, but he still felt that Olivia's eyes at the time were clearer, simpler, and heartwarming than the Princess Ines in front of him.

"I don't dare to take credit. That battle also relied on the unity of the soldiers and the heroic allies who came to help. What's more, the number of enemies is far less than a thousand. We just fought back the 700 mob gathered by the Lang family." Leon. said modestly.

"That's very powerful. What's more, since you said you have reunited with your gryphon friend, I'm afraid you can easily defeat even a thousand enemy troops." The little princess smiled and boasted without hesitation.

Leon thought about the situation that day and sighed: "If my gryphon friend had helped out, many soldiers would have been saved from dying in this unnecessary conflict during the battle."

After saying that, he did not forget his purpose and calmly followed the trend: "Your Highness, I was deeply shocked when I saw the majesty of His Majesty the King's dragon expedition today.

But since your father can control Feike and the 'dragon', why are you? Are you still interested in my gryphon?

You know, compared to the dragon your Majesty rides, even my brave gryphon friend is probably far behind. "

However, when Inis heard this, she shook her head at him: "Dragon beasts are different from griffins. Although those big guys are also smarter than ordinary beasts, they are cruel and violent in nature, and they are not as kind and gentle as griffins." .

Even if I am my father's daughter, to them, I am just a piece of meat that they will not swallow easily until they are extremely hungry. When I grew up in the palace, I did not dare to live without my father and the king. When accompanied by a dragon tamer, get close to those dangerous guys. Every year in the dragon's nest in the palace, there are unlucky dragon tamers who are accidentally eaten by dragons.

In comparison, the griffons I came into contact with in the north of Earl North were much friendlier. Can you imagine? That cute and mighty big guy can actually play chess with me~"

Thinking of the cute and furry griffin, Inis covered her lips and smiled softly.

This smile is rare and comes from the heart.

She paused and put down the memory with a slight apology: "~Sorry, I was so carried away that I forgot that you have a griffon next to you."

Leon empathized with the girl's inadvertent expression of affection, and nodded as if he had found a friend: "You are right, my friend is indeed a smart and majestic and lovely existence. I wonder if Your Highness has heard that, in In my home country, Therian, people regard griffins as auspicious things.”

Before he finished speaking, an unceremonious voice suddenly interrupted Leon's words.

At the long table by the window of the banquet, Aolaide, who was talking with the "royal party" princes, gradually stopped talking.

With a casual glance, he discovered that the "fat pig" of the West family was feasting alone on the dining table in the distance.

What about Ines?

Aolaide immediately looked around the hall instinctively.

Soon he saw the princess talking to someone with a bright smile in the corner.

He turned around to look for the king, but His Majesty Ledwin, who had just been discussing matters with Count Trossa, seemed to have left the hall to rest.

Thinking of the reply he had not received for so long, Aolad couldn't control his impatience, straightened his collar, apologized to the family's royal allies in the west, and turned around to walk towards Inis.

He has not forgotten the high expectations his father had for him before setting off to the west of the kingdom.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an upright and forthright temperament, and has already made friends within the family's network.

Several of her sisters had already taken turns climbing into the Crown Prince's bed.

If he can marry the princess in the future, he can inject the royal blood of Drachmar into the direct line of the family.

Only when Prince Eric ascends the throne in the future, the whole of Olander will become the world of the Osdol family.

Thinking about the family's plan, Aolaide's vigorous pace became faster.

And he was extremely confident in gaining the princess's favor.

Not only because of the noble bloodline of the Osdol family, but also because he is outstanding among this generation and has outstanding military exploits. He has gained a great reputation in the many battles with the barbarians in Eastern Xinjiang.

In comparison, the competitor, the fat pig surnamed West, has simply fallen short of the reputation of the mighty Hailong family, both in terms of ability and appearance.

Although it is a remnant of the lost nobles of the previous dynasty, it still retains the rich county of Vistral.

Unexpectedly, the next generation of heirs would actually produce a loser who was so fat that he couldn't even hold a sword.

And right now, apart from this useless person with a noble birth, who else in the kingdom dares to compete with him for the title of His Royal Highness?

With the support of his father and the support of the princes of the royal party, even His Majesty cannot obstruct him openly.

Aolad walked closer and closer, recalling in his mind the scene of King Ledwin III arriving with a dragon not long ago.

He admitted that King Ledwin, who was nearly fifty years old, still retained the majesty of the legendary dragon-riding king in the past.

But Arad, who was familiar with the history of the kingdom and the family, had never really respected the king since he was a child.

After all, if it weren't for the strong support of his father and the eastern lords, how could the former "Earl of Hecha County" sit on the throne today?

All this was because the family did not have the blood of Drakmar.

In ancient times, the ancestors of Tymorion, facing the conquering king from Kronia, had a half-submissive and half-independent attitude of alienation, which later became an insurmountable obstacle between the family and the northern throne.

Whenever Arad read the proud history of the family, he couldn't help but regret the impermanence of fate.

Ackerman's fat mouth moved, and his eyes tasted the exotic desserts on the table happily, but it was a pity that his little lovers were not around to enjoy them together.

After eating a honey jelly cake, he saw the tall and annoying guy in the east, and then walked towards Her Highness Inis, and then frowned in distress.

Didn't you say that His Majesty was here? Oh? What about the big Majesty?

Ackerman looked around, then looked at Arad who had already walked to the side of Ines, and instantly felt the bruises on his body that had not yet healed began to hurt again.

Damn it, everyone is making things difficult for me who is harmless? Anyway, it is impossible to marry that little ancestor of Ines. Even if she marries Arad, it doesn't matter. As for the future of the kingdom, what does it have to do with us? This ancestor married far away in the east, and sending her away is actually a good thing for me.

Picking up the small plate, Ackerman muttered in his mind and chose to follow his heart. He turned around quietly and went to the crowd on the side of the dancer, pretending not to see it.

Leon was about to say: ". In my motherland, Serian, people regard griffins as auspicious signs"

"Your Highness Ines! I wonder what you think? The Eastland Knights under my command can't wait to fight for you." Arad showed a friendly smile to the princess and interrupted their conversation without hesitation.

He didn't waste time looking at other people, just staring into Ines' eyes, and chose to go straight to the point: "The dangerous land in the county to the west is rugged for your knights, but it is as flat as flat ground for the dire wolves under my command."

If it weren't for this, Aurad would have been too lazy to attend the ceremony of conferring an unknown little earl.

But thanks to this well-timed southern expedition, although the southern expedition to Kantadar was of no significance to the nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom, it really gave him the opportunity to get closer to Ines, who was unfriendly.

The conversation was interrupted abruptly, Leon swallowed the original words and twisted his eyebrows.

He looked sideways at the guy who interrupted him rudely and found that the other party didn't even look at him straight.

He didn't even say the first half of the symbolic polite interruption, as if he was a ball of air.

What kind of attitude?

Leon looked at the young nobleman and remembered that he was the marquis who stood on the side of the fat earl at the previous ceremony.

Okay, no wonder.

He was just a knight without a real title. To put it nicely, he was a noble. To put it bluntly, he was just a servant in the eyes of the great lords.

To the nobles of the kingdom who were the marquises, he was indeed a little Karami who didn't need to be taken seriously.

Shrugging his shoulders, Leon didn't intend to get involved.

Since it was already 90% confirmed that the princess in front of him didn't realize Olivia's identity at all, he didn't have much to do with her.

Leon opened his mouth and was about to say goodbye.

With a crisp snap, Ines closed the fan in her hand with force. The sound of the fan breaking seemed to contain the anger of its owner.

"Marquis Aolade, please don't be so rude in front of me." Although the princess still smiled, the coldness in her words was still clearly audible: "As you can see, I am having a good chat with this gentleman. We can talk about our affairs at any time, but not now."

Agatha felt the real displeasure of her lord at the moment, so she silently clenched her five fingers into fists behind her back and only looked at the instructions of Her Royal Highness.

"What else can be more important than the career you are eager for now?" Aolade smiled indifferently.

He turned his head and glanced arrogantly at the country knight who had not noticed it at all just now.

"Give me a salute and leave, knight, you have nothing to do here, stay away and don't disturb our conversation."

"."

Leon's face twitched at this retorted words, and the evil fire in his heart ignited, and he wanted to let this little Bi Zaizhi experience on the spot what it was like to feel a little weightless in Glade County.

Since traveling through time, this was the first time he had seen such an uneducated Aoland noble.

Compared with this, even Canis of the Wolf family seemed polite.

Looking at the other party's deliberate contempt, Leon thought about his tentative jokes with Ines just now, and suddenly realized it.

A young and powerful man who wanted to show his so-called courage in front of the lady he pursued, and his status happened to be really in a superior position, this guy who never had to control his hormonal impulses did have the mentality of a beast declaring sovereignty.

What's more, whether he did it intentionally or not, at least it seemed that he did get close to the "prey" in the eyes of the other party.

Well, if he put himself in her shoes, if he saw a handsome guy talking and laughing intimately with Olivia, even if it was before the confession, he would not be so arrogant, but he would inevitably feel irritated.

But understanding the reason does not mean that he can tolerate the annoyance at this moment, not to mention that standing on the land of the Farolis family, he does not need to bear the other party's inexplicable contempt.

"I will not bow to an impolite person, and I will not go anywhere until you apologize to me for your disrespect just now." Leon responded neither servilely nor arrogantly.

Hearing this answer, Aolade was stunned, stopped talking to Ines, and turned back with an indifferent expression: "Do I need to remind you of each other's status? Don't ask for humiliation, go away now, I don't care about your disrespect for the superior and the inferior."

These words made Ines's barely maintained smile disappear. She found that she underestimated the arrogance of the son of the Duke from the border.

"Aolade, do you have to be presumptuous at this banquet to welcome my father?

You want to humiliate the other party's vassal at the banquet to celebrate the conferment of Earl Elliver?

This is Glade of the Farolis family, not Loman of the Osdor family."

At this point, it is already the most straightforward warning. Regardless of the difference in status, humiliating the vassal of the great lord on the territory of other families, especially on such an important occasion, is no different from slapping Earl Thornflower directly.

If such an insult to dignity were to happen, even the son of the Duke would probably be sent back to his hometown in a coffin.

However, her words of defense for Leon were also pointing out Aolade's identity. She only hoped that the Thorn Flower Knight, who was slightly angered, would not take this rude guy too seriously.

Aolade was not a completely ignorant and reckless man. Knowing that this knight was a vassal of Earl Elliver, he restrained himself a little.

Although he was just a knight, he still had to give his master some face.

"Excuse me, Your Highness. I just want to help you as soon as possible, but irrelevant people are always around, which makes it difficult for us to talk about private matters. You can't expect this little knight to help you take down the county in the west." He stared at Ines and reminded her.

"."

Weighing the actual gains and losses, Ines suppressed the regret that flashed in her heart, and had to turn her eyes away for the time being, and apologized to Leon: "I'm sorry, Lord Pendragon, after the banquet, I will personally apologize for the unpleasantness you encountered."

However, after hearing this, Leon, who was furious, did not intend to buy it at all.

He shook his head: "No, Your Highness, you are not rude to me, why do you have to apologize on behalf of this vulgar guy? I am very curious, what can the Farolis family, who are so close, not help you? You have to go far away and ask this rude guy for help."

Aolade didn't want to care about the country knight's ignorance, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head away in anger: "You are not worthy of my name, but since you have learned the name of Osdor from Your Highness, you still dare to insult me? Have you lived enough?"

Leon raised his eyebrows indifferently.

Mention identity again?

His teacher is a saint worshipped by all the people of the Western Continent, and the King of Law who ruled the earth thousands of years ago.

His lover is the real Princess of Orland.

His attendant is the legitimate prince of a kingdom of the same magnitude as Orland.

He is just the son of a duke, but he is so arrogant.

He sneered, "Why? Duke Roman, are you going to send troops from the East to attack me for your child's rudeness? ~ It would be an honor for me."

Ao Lade narrowed his eyes at the other party's indifferent expression.

"Why mention my father? I don't have many troops with me this time. I also have 500 wolf cavalrymen who can tear those who insult me ​​into pieces. You country bumpkin, what else do you have besides your bold words? The spears and mules in the woodshed?"

Leon raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "I don't have as many cats and dogs as you do. I only have a sword, a body armor, and a griffin. Although I don't have a large army, I can still charge for the kingdom and wipe out the rebellious party who are content with being bullied in front of the throne of Your Majesty."

In the fight back against the provocation, Leon did not forget the home advantage and pulled the king's flag. Anyway, there was Ines, who seemed to be more reasonable, to prove it.

Besides, it was his own territory. To be honest, he would never go to the East in his life. As a famous "local snake" in the local area, there was no need to be afraid of the son of the Duke of the East who was rampant in a foreign land.

"Griffin?" Aolade was stunned.

He had never seen a griffin, but he knew that it was a giant monster that was much more ferocious than the Karak dragon lizard and second only to the "dragon".

"Just you, a little knight?"

"I'm sorry that you haven't heard of my name since you came from the east, but since I know your name, it would be impolite if I didn't tell you."

Leon boasted calmly: "I am the snake slayer of Kosos and the griffin lord of the Thorn Flower family. I wonder if the dire wolves under your command can match the courage of a mere war beast under my saddle?"

He heard from old Brian about the dire wolves produced in the East Frontier. The war beasts that were almost the same size as ordinary foals were indeed very strong. With qualified drivers, they were much more terrifying than ordinary cavalry.

But. In the eyes of the griffin, it was still just a mobile buffet that ran faster and had thicker hair.

Ao Lade stopped talking and fell into silence.

He looked up and down at the other party again. If there was really a griffin, it would not be surprising that Ines would chat and laugh with this person just now.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the princess for confirmation.

The princess felt amused when she saw Aurad suddenly lose his temper after being criticized, so she nodded and helped Leon to agree: "This Lord Pendragon is a Griffin Knight who is famous for his military exploits in Kossos County."

At this moment, Aolaide couldn't help frowning, and finally looked at Leon up and down, and said doubtfully: "Snake slayer? I remember, you'd better have a gryphon to help His Highness, I'm in the army Wait for you, I hope you don’t come here on a donkey to make people laugh.”

Realizing that the small number of Guards Cavalry brought by this trip was indeed not as important as the opponent's griffons, Aolad, who did not know the truth, did not provoke rashly. If it turned out to be true, he would really be humiliating himself.

He lowered his head to Inis: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Your Highness. We'll talk about it later."

After saying that, he suppressed his anger and turned around to leave, wanting to find out the background of the knight in black as soon as possible.

Taming a griffon is not something ordinary brave men can do. In the entire Orland, there are only a handful of legendary knights who own griffin war beasts.

Another one pops out from the corner of this corner?

Not to mention legendary war beasts like griffons, Aolad himself has not yet completely surrendered to the kraak dragon lizard tamed by his family.

Even though he was angry, if he proposed a duel in the name of being humiliated, the opponent would end up with a gryphon, which was not subject to dueling laws at all, and then the fun would be great.

Looking at Alade's back, Leon silently bowed his head twice to Mrs. Deathclaw at home, thanking Big Fat Jiu for his reputation, allowing him to quarrel with others.

Seeing that the entangled Alade was defeated unexpectedly and walked away, Inis retracted her joyful gaze, curved her beautiful blue eyes, and teased Leon: "Isn't the gryphon your friend? Now you say you can Ride it?"

Turning his head, Leon's aura instantly dropped: "Your Highness, this man is arrogant and rude, and his aggressive approach towards you and me is really annoying. I couldn't help bragging and choking him. Thank you for not exposing me just now." ”

Inis smiled and fanned her little fan: "You are telling the truth, what can I expose~? But you are a little knight, aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Duke's son?"

Leon shook his head and said nonchalantly: "When he insulted me at this banquet, he insulted His Majesty, you, and my lord. This is the territory of the Thorn Flower. Even if the Duke himself comes, he must deal with the law here." The Rorys show respect, so I have nothing to fear.

Even if it gets serious, I believe Lord Elliot, as well as you, will stand by my side. At worst, a royal duel is, I heard, the easiest way to resolve noble disputes in Orland. "

As he said that, he turned around and looked around: "By the way, where is your inseparable male companion? Is he your fiancée? Aolad is so offensive. After all, I am a lowly status and an outsider. Maybe your noble Earl The male companion here can make him restrain himself."

"Engagement? Male companion? Are you talking about Ackerman?" Inis blinked and shook her head: "He is just a friend of mine, there is no such thing as an engagement."

As she spoke, the little princess tilted her head, pointed at the golden hair on the back of her head with her fan, and said, "Look~ have you seen me tying my hair up with a hairband?"

Leon was a little surprised, not that the fat Earl was not the other party's fiancée, but that the tradition of tying hair was also applicable to the nobles and the royal family?

"Sorry, I made a mistake." He quickly apologized for the misunderstanding.

Inis waved her hand: "No wonder you misunderstood, my father did have this intention, but it's just hard to explain in words."

Leon thought thoughtfully, no wonder that Aolaide was so enthusiastic. It turned out that it wasn't Huang Mao who wanted to be fat, it was just fair competition.

But it was me, an unrelated passerby who was shot for no apparent reason.

Leon was confused: "So, it seems to me that you don't like the flattering pursuit of Lord Aolaide?"

When Inis heard this, she felt a little sad, but she still had a smile on her face: "I can't say I like or dislike Mr. Aolad, but I will never have the possibility of marriage with him."

"Oh, I understand." Leon nodded without surprise.

Now Inis was a little surprised: "What do you understand?"

Leon replied: "Look at that guy's nostrils pointing upward. I guess the east is powerful. Are you rejecting his pursuit because you are afraid that the king's power will be lost in the future?"

"How dare you say that."

Inis raised her eyebrows slightly at the other party's straightforward summary. Although this was not a secret, everyone had a tacit understanding that no one could point out.

"Aolad is of noble birth and extraordinary ability. I have no fault with him personally, but the impossible is just impossible, just as you speculated."

The thoughts in her mind became entangled in the girl's consciousness like a ball of thread.

The power game between the father and the royal party.

The Eastern Bloc sprinkled allies across the kingdom after the civil war.

The far north.

The Marquis of d'Yatuc, who listened to the tune but not the announcement, guarded the door but never came to see the king.

The balance between the Kingdom of Cronia and the four kingdoms

Although Inis has never seen the previous king who was overthrown by her father in the records.

But at this moment, he felt that the situation he was facing was a hundred times more dangerous than that of the previous king.

Sixteen years ago, my father raised a banner of rebellion, and princes and lords from all over the country responded.

But the previous kings still had the royal domain and the western half led by the Duke of West, and this small half of the kingdom surrounded them to suppress the uprising.

But in the future, the twisted East will get the opportunity to lead the "royal party" all over the kingdom to rebel.

How many lords in Orland will guard the throne of their own "Dracmar" family just like they supported the late king?

"Then why don't you reject him directly and condone his offense like this?"

The activities in Inis's mind did not interfere with the words in her mouth. She looked at Leon and said jokingly: "I am so indulgent because I just need this 'big brother' to help me fight the war. Ah~ I let it slip, you can Don’t spread it.”

"I understand" Leon nodded.

It turns out that the powerful son of the duke is just a tool temporarily driven by the princess.

"You understand again?"

The princess smiled and said, "But you made him angry. Now what if he regrets his original proposal?"

Leon was helpless: "Well, I was so angry just now that I really didn't think too much about it. I would like to take the liberty to ask what proposals he and you have."

"As long as he can send troops to help me capture Capeda County, after the war, I will attend his ball and dance with him. After a dance, I can get a powerful eastern army. It's a good deal." Nisi said in a lonely tone, pretending to be a pity.

Leon became slightly embarrassed.

In a battle of spirits, he took away one of the opponent's allies. Although it was refreshing to show off and choke others, he could not afford to compensate for the opponent's losses.

Noticing the embarrassment on the face of the knight in front of her, Inis sighed again and joked: "Thinking about it this way, I can't forgive you easily. Why don't you beg your gryphon friend? Mount it and come to the front line to help. How am I?"

After hearing this, Leon thought about it seriously, but he could only spread his hands and said, "I just said big words to take advantage of the situation. There is really no guarantee that the griffon will help me fight."

Inis played with the handle of the fan and said in despair: "What should we do?"

The girl looked directly at the other person: "If it doesn't work out, you join my army and I will forgive you?"

Leon couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, I don't have any troops to help you conquer. I have only been a knight for half a year. I only have a hundred young men under my command, and it is difficult to defend the territory."

"No, you misunderstood~"

Inis's smile seemed to reveal a fox's tail: "I don't want you to be a soldier, I just want you to join the Sea Eagle Knights under my command. How about you join me? I will arrange a high-level official position for you."

Leon was stunned by this sudden invitation.

He instinctively wanted to decline. After all, he already had a good boss like Elliot and he was about to be appointed. He didn't want to play Lu Bu at this time.

Inis saw the other party's concerns, shook her head and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, my invitation is not urgent and will remain valid from now on.

Joining the Sea Eagle Knights will not require you to betray your master. It doesn't matter if you treat it as an employment or join a salon ~ think about it carefully."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the hall opened again, and the palace waiter came in and reminded the nobles at the reception that the dinner time had come and they could go to the banquet hall.

"It seems that this is all we can talk about today."

After witnessing the long-suffering Alade suffer a loss, and chatting happily with the knight whom she admired quite a lot, Inis was in a bright mood, and she nodded to leave.

Leon looked at the other person's back and wondered why his Highness admired him so much.

Until then, the two Azarians who had been paying attention here came over.

They had already discovered the conflict just now, but they felt that they were underestimating others and did not say anything to cause trouble for Leon. However, unexpectedly, the situation did not escalate and they were simply eliminated.

Lohark came up to him with a strange look on his face and gave him a hard elbow: "Hey, Leon, does His Highness have a crush on you because he is so enthusiastic about you?"

Leon looked up from his thoughts, feeling a little weird. Why did these words sound so familiar?

"Don't talk nonsense, are you afraid that I won't be pierced by Olivia's three swords and six swords?" Leon felt a little embarrassed at his joke.

Until the grand dinner ended and he went back to the house to sleep, Leon was thinking about the day's invitation.

If Earl Earl Elliver does not object, then joining Inis's knighthood, which sounds more like a political alliance, can be regarded as becoming a member of the royal family.

Not only can you make allies, but in the future, through the princess, you may be able to get some rare materials accumulated exclusively for the royal family and quickly gather the materials to make the next Neti card.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and went to sleep. Anyway, since Inis didn't limit the time, it would be the same if he decided later.

The most important thing now is the sealing he is about to receive and the news about Rolandar in the distance.
