As the first knight knelt on one knee, he swore allegiance to the Holy Dragon: "I, Balk Sherman, swear allegiance to the Holy Dragon."

The second one followed immediately: "I, George Winston, swear allegiance to the Holy Dragon."

Of course, some people backed down.

Whether it's the vast, white army of undead, or the dilapidated ancient castle belonging to a forbidden era...

Even knights have the right to choose to retreat, but only a very small number of them do.

Most of them were concentrated in the later-established Blue Agate Knights.

Soon, these knights who had not sworn allegiance were asked to leave by servants dressed in court tailcoats.

Arthur didn't care about those who left.

The investiture ceremony then continued.

Balque and George were made marquises, and later their titles were distributed according to their military achievements.

The knights of the Order of Knights were mostly granted the title of noble.

After the celebration ended, Arthur was once again bogged down in a mountain of political affairs.

Li Aili had no intention of getting back together with Arthur.

The problem between them is not this.

So, without saying goodbye, Li Aili got into Albert's carriage and left.

Of course, within the domain of a dragon lord, she couldn't possibly remain 'silent'.

The fact that Arthur didn't chase after her was a huge relief to her.

The horses galloped up, and the carriage soared into the sky.

Inside the Platinum Dragon Palace, Arthur stood by the window in his study, one hand gripping the window frame tightly.

Behind him, Albert elegantly held a steaming cup of black tea.

“Arthur,” he said to Arthur in a teaching tone, like an elder, “a man must learn to be patient.”

I know you want to tell her everything.

"But we can't afford the risk of things going wrong."

He put down his teacup, took a handful of sugar cubes from the sugar jar on the coffee table, and stuffed them into the steaming black tea.

Sitting across from him, Victoria frowned and began flipping through "Little-known Facts about the Undead".

While flipping through the pages, he muttered to himself, "Won't the undead get cavities...?"

Aniana sat to the side, stealing glances at Arthur every now and then, then at Albert.

Albert smiled and took a sip of his sugared black tea.

"So, Aniana, my dear, can you now tell me where my 'Elector Gilmanoa' is?"

...

Li Aili sat in the carriage.

Sitting opposite her, the Elf King Fisheranki seemed to be in an even worse mood than when he arrived.

To stop thinking about Arthur, Ellie decided to chat with Fisher-Nankey.

"Are you still worried, brother-in-law?"

Li Aili thought about her observations of Albert.

"I wonder if he might be an exception among the immortals?"

“You know, the sales manager for the potions I hired is a minotaur, but…”

"What I mean is, don't judge an individual's worth based on the population."

Although this world is filled with gods, most of the world's races were created by these gods.

From the moment they were born, they were endowed with various talents and personalities by the gods who created them.

However... Li Aili still felt that there would always be one or two 'accidents'.

For example, Ba Jin's "Ox Hoof".

For example... she secretly glanced at Fisheranki, the Tankar elf, whose face was grim.

It is believed that when the Elven God created the elves, He never imagined that one day, among His creations, there would be such a 'rising force' of Tankar elves.

Fisher-Nankey said, "That's wonderful."

"There's at least some good news on this terrible trip."

"At least my sister regained her lost emotions."

"I'm so happy to hear you speak normally again."

Li Aili: "..."

Li Aili hesitated before asking, "Was it really... different before?"

Fisher-Nankey said, "My darling says you're cold and emotionless, like an undead."

Li Aili: "…………"

Fisher-Nankey then asked, "Why do you think he married that shapeshifter?"

Li Aili felt a pang of guilt when she thought of Victoria wearing an eye patch.

He was seriously injured on the battlefield in order to impersonate Arthur.

But she hadn't thought of helping Victoria research an alchemical potion that could completely cure her eye injury.

I'll start researching it as soon as I get back!

Li Aili took out paper and pen from her spatial ring and wrote this down.

Li Aili said, "Besides love, I really can't think of anything else that would lead them to the hall of marriage."

Fisher-Nankey narrowed his eyes slightly.

"For example, scheming."

"If getting married can reduce people's suspicion of the immortals, wouldn't that be an incredibly worthwhile deal?"

Li Aili looked at him speechlessly, "I think there is love between them."

Fishernaki looked at her intently.

"If I die and Lily resurrects me, as long as I have any sense left, I will never go near Lily again."

"Sister, this is love."

Everyone has a different understanding and definition of love.

Li Aili did not continue arguing with Fisher-Nankey.

"So, what are you going to do? Break the alliance with Arthur?"

Feshen Nanki turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. "Before today, that was indeed my plan."

"But, this 'warship' is really hard to part with."

"I must say, Arthur Cold Jade, no, Arthur Holy Dragon is an excellent chess player."

"He always manages to pull out chess pieces that entice me."
