The recovered Edward Martin is tall and handsome, showing no signs of the horrific state he was in just two days ago, lying in bed waiting to die with extensive burns all over his body.
At this moment, both the couple had huge "bubbles" on their heads.
Ah... I've never spoken to the lady before, I'm a little nervous. How should I put it? I want to become a knight loyal to her...
[I'm so nervous! How should I tell Madam that I want to become her personal maid?]
Li Aili was startled by what the couple was thinking.
But on second thought, repaying such a life-saving debt with one's life is very much in line with the values of knights in this era.
In particular, since she was about to leave Constantinople, she should begin to cultivate her own confidants.
This couple who came to our door perfectly fit the criteria!
“Madam, I wish to pledge my allegiance to you and become your sword and shield,” Edward Martin said directly.

Joanna stepped forward. "Madam, I would like to become your personal maid."
In this era, personal maids were often confidantes of female nobles. Li Aili didn't stand on ceremony and accepted Joanna.
"Okay. As long as you don't betray me, I won't treat you two badly."
With her new 'little brother' in hand, Li Aili could finally put some things she had been planning into action.
She immediately pulled the two of them into a carriage and left Constantinople, heading towards the city center.
Edward rode on horseback, guarding the outside.
Sitting inside the carriage, Joanna was a little curious, but she restrained herself well and did not ask Li Ai Li any questions.
but……
Looking at the enormous "bubble" that was almost bursting the roof of the carriage, Li Aili casually mentioned, "I want to open an alchemy shop in the city."
