"Guys! Polish your armor, we're almost at the center of the city."
"Especially for unmarried bachelors, hey! Polish your armor, your other half might be among the welcoming crowd!"
The experienced knights loudly shared their "experience" with the knights beside them.
"Sir, will we really be able to find a girl this way?"
A seasoned veteran of the knightly order chuckled, "Silly boy, half the knights in our order find their wives this way!"
Several lone knights immediately polished their armor until it gleamed.
Perhaps eager to get home, everyone quickened their pace on the road without prior arrangement.
Until the horses' hooves stepped through the city gates of the central city.
The citizens welcomed them with the same warm hospitality as always.
However, 10 minutes later.
The veteran knights in the group all frowned.
"Lance...is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like...the girls are looking at us...so strangely?"
Lance frowned. "It doesn't seem so. Why do I feel like their gazes are even more... even more frightening after you get closer?"
Locke pulled on the reins, slowed down, and came closer.
Then a chorus of screams erupted from the crowd: "Aaaaaah!! I'm shipping them for real!!! Ahhh! I'm dead!"
Locke's warhorse was nearly startled.
Lance reacted quickly and helped pull her up.
Locke, who had been startled by the girls, came to his senses and punched Lance's arm. "Thanks, bro."
Then, the girls in the crowd went wild.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
"Ah! Lance and Locke are the real ones! They're the real ones!!"
Even more outrageous, several young girls rolled their eyes, their cheeks flushed with an eerie red, and they fainted straight away.
Lance & Locke: "..."
The young knights, who had just been 'taught' their experience before entering the city, exchanged glances.
The seniors were right after all!!
So, without realizing it, they straightened their backs, imitated their predecessors, put on serious faces, and kept searching for a girl they liked in the crowd.
When the Duke rushed back to Constantinople, he did not see his wife come out to greet him.
"Conrad."
The faithful steward emerged from the welcoming procession of servants.
"Where is Madam?"
Conrad took a deep breath. "Believe me, you don't want to know."
Arthur Cold Jade: "?"
Five minutes later, Arthur Cold Jade rode his warhorse, still clad in armor, and galloped out of Constantinople.
Several squire knights accompanied them.
Thirty minutes later, Arthur Cold Jade dismounted in front of the Central Theatre with a blank expression and walked inside without saying a word.
Forty-five minutes later, Duke Cold Emerald and his retinue of knights turned green with shock.
Forty-six minutes later, Duke Cold Emerald stared at the 'Duke' on the stage, passionately embracing and kissing the 'Grand Knight Commander', and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.
The accompanying knights all shuddered.
“Give it to me,” Arthur Cold Jade managed to refrain from uttering a curse, “copy it from here!”
...
Li Aili was carried all the way back to Constantinople.
She was completely bewildered.
She didn't come to her senses until the Duke kicked open the bedroom door and threw her onto the soft bed.
Arthur Cold Jade stood by the bed, raising his finger several times to point at Li Ellie, but he didn't say a word.
"You just wait." The Duke managed to squeeze out these words after a long pause, then left Li Aili's bedroom with a dark expression.
A series of clanging and banging sounds came from outside the door, as if the collectibles displayed in the corridor had been cruelly "persecuted".
Li Aili realized what was happening too late, and she was so scared that her scalp was about to explode!
Wasn't the Knights supposed to return in early December?
Today is only November 29th!!
I had already agreed with the theater owner that this would be the last 'pure love opera,' and that all operas in December would be regular performances.
Ahhh!
I'm going to die!
Recalling the man's appearance just now, Li Aili shuddered involuntarily.
Then, decisively, he sought refuge in the Alchemy House.
As for poor Mr. Melt Whelan, all she could say was with deep sorrow: "Better to die a friend than to die a poor one!"
May the God of Light bless the poor boss; this time it's for real. May he be blessed with peace and happiness...
Well, I've recently become completely obsessed with shipping couples.
Sigh, she wasn't reflecting on herself so deeply because it came from the heart.
Is it a crime for girls to like sweets?
Of course not!
she……
I hope the other ladies are well...
Ugh, her conscience is killing her.
So, relying on some snacks that had been moved in earlier, Li Aili stayed in the Alchemy House for three days straight.
Only then did hesitantly take his first tentative step.
The bedroom was brightly lit. Li Aili nervously looked around, but did not see the Duke.
Guessing that someone was probably dealing with matters concerning the Knights at this time, Li Aili breathed a sigh of relief.
I've decided to sneak into the north kitchen and have a nice meal.
She was about to throw up after eating the elf's 'Avison Yellow Butter Cookies' for three consecutive days.
However, as soon as the door opened, the handsome duke, like a leopard waiting for its prey, sat in the chair in the middle of the aisle, and quietly glanced at Li Aili with his eyelids raised.
Li Aili: "..." Is it really that serious? Really, is it really that serious?
