Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the guard's voice was loud and clear.
"Your Majesty! The Knight Commander requests an audience!"
"..."
Vili raised an eyebrow, rested his arm on Atheran's chest, and slightly turned his head to avoid the man's kiss.
"It seems someone is urgently looking for you."
As if to verify his words, the thumping outside the door became more and more urgent, and the loud-voiced guard spoke with a puzzled tone.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Are you alright? Do you wish to see the Knight Commander, or should you dismiss him?"
A barrage of questions rained down on Atheran.
His Majesty the King's face darkened, but Vili was laughing so hard in his arms that he was shaking with laughter, tears welling up in his eyes.
"It seems your guard is quite responsible. Your Majesty, why haven't you replied to him yet?"
Aetheran's gaze was fixed on him, and the next second she didn't let go, but instead kissed him without hesitation.
Vili, however, was prepared. With a quick movement, she shrunk her neck and escaped from his embrace like a nimble cat, standing perfectly fine to the side.
He nimbly ran a few steps and sat down in the chair where Atheran handled official business.
He looked over leisurely:
"If you don't open the door soon, your guards might break it down."
As if in response to his words, the guard's voice lowered, and he was muttering something to himself, but this volume was clearly audible to the two great mages.
"Has something happened to His Majesty? Should I call the guards to break down the door and check on him?"
The door in front of him suddenly opened.
"His Majesty!"
The guard's eyes lit up. For some reason, the king seemed to be in a bad mood, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.
The guard's voice couldn't help but soften:
"Uh... the Knight Commander requests an audience..."
“I heard you.”
Aetheran interrupted him, but instead of answering whether he wanted to summon the Knight Commander, he asked a completely unrelated question.
"You look unfamiliar. Are you new on duty?"
"Yes, yes!"
The guard bowed, surprised that His Majesty could even see through this detail, which increased his respect for him even more.
Aetheran nodded:
"Then from today onwards, you don't need to come anymore."
"I'll have the Minister of Palace Affairs arrange a new job for you, on the condition that you never appear in front of me again."
In an instant, the guard seemed to lose all color, turning into a weathered plaster statue frozen in place.
"Now, go and summon the Knight Commander to me."
Having said that, the door was ruthlessly closed in front of the guard, who then wandered away like a ghost.
A moment later, the knight commander cautiously knocked on the door.
His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today... He's been so easy to talk to ever since that young man appeared by his side, what could have happened?
Perhaps it's inappropriate to bother His Majesty with such a trivial matter...
The knight commander was inwardly groaning.
The door opened automatically, and the Knight Commander, under pressure, stepped into the study with trepidation.
Throughout the process, he kept his head down, but he could still sense the king's displeasure from the unusual atmosphere, which frightened him so much that cold sweat soaked his collar.
Yu Guangzhong caught a glimpse of Willy's figure, and his mood relaxed slightly. He finally had the courage to speak.
"His Majesty……"
He was determined to die sooner rather than later and got straight to the point.
“We apprehended a suspicious person while patrolling outside your bedchamber.”
"Just deal with the assassin directly. Do you need to ask me about such a trivial matter?"
...I was in a really bad mood.
The knight commander swallowed hard.
"The man claimed his name was Alexander Wald, and he was..."
At this point, he finally mustered the courage to look up and quickly glance at Vili.
"It is His Highness's personal guard knight."
At Vili's request, his name was kept secret from others, so his subordinates simply called him "Your Highness".
The so-called Royal Guard Knights are knights who are loyal to only one person for their entire lives; loyalty is their first principle.
"..."
Aetheran turned his head and saw Vili's thoughtful expression, and for some reason a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
"...Did he say anything else?"
The knight commander pulled a piece of black cloth from his pocket; it looked very familiar.
"He also said... as long as this is shown to His Highness, he will understand everything."
That is...
"I'm going to see him."
Before Atheran could speak, Vili jumped off the chair and walked to the Knight Commander's side.
It turns out that Alexander also came to this era with him... In order to prevent the order of time and space from being disrupted, he must also shoulder the responsibility of bringing people back.
Atheran, unusually, lost his composure and shouted:
"no!"
Vili ignored his words and instead urged the knight commander to lead the way quickly.
"baby……"
In less than two seconds, Atheran gave in, walked to Vili's side, and whispered:
"I'll go with you."
The knight commander was not surprised by this; in fact, he had already anticipated this outcome when the prince spoke.
His Majesty has never been able to do anything about his youth.
The knight commander bowed respectfully: "In that case, why don't I bring him directly here to meet His Majesty?"
That's a good idea. Why would you go out of your way to see your love rival?
Atheran pouted in annoyance; he had been too flustered and almost forgot about this method.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
After the head guard left, he immediately moved closer to Vili, pressing his entire body against the boy, as if he wanted to hold him tightly and merge him into his very bones.
