Chapter 385 That’s not the case!
"You really did something big without telling Ena, King."
Inside the social office, in the living room, Kiyoakiin Hina, who had already stood up to greet Aize, rarely made a complaint.
"You actually took advantage of Ena's training in the mountains to defeat the Monkey God. This makes Ena feel like a dereliction of duty, King."
Kiyoakiin Hina's cheerful face was full of resentment, and one could tell how she felt when she learned about this.
The king she was loyal to actually abandoned the loyal priestess to kill the god. Doesn't this make her seem useless?
Naturally, Seiakiin Ena would feel resentful and dissatisfied about this.
"What?" Aize smiled and said, "Do you still want to fight with God?"
"Ena is not that ambitious." Seiakiin Ena shook her head and said, "If the opponent is a god, even if Ama Murasaki is still in her hands, Ena would not dare to say that she has a chance of winning, let alone a god as powerful as the Monkey King."
If it was a weaker god, Seiakiin Ena could still fight against him with the sword of Ama Murasaki in her hand. But the opponent was the disobedient Son Goku, the powerful Hero of Steel. Even with the sword of Ama Murasaki in her hand, Seiakiin Ena would definitely not be his opponent.
"But Ena still feels unwilling. Can you understand Ena's feelings, King?"
Kiyoakiin Hina seemed to be holding a lot of resentment and she even started to mutter to herself.
"Who told you to go into the mountains to practice? Who can you blame?" Aize shrugged. Seeing that Qingqiuyuan Huina still looked like she couldn't let it go, he said, "Okay, next time a god appears, I will definitely take you with me. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Qingqiuyuan Hina smiled.
"Then it's settled, huh? King!"
It seems that this is what Seiakiin Hina's purpose is.
"Welcome back, Ena."
Seeing this, Yuri Manrigai whispered something to Ena.
"Well, I'm back, Yuri." Kiyoakiin Hina responded generously at first, then turned to Erica and Liliana and said, "Ms. Liliana, it's been a long time since we last met. And this one..."
"Erica Blontelli." Erica had been sizing up Kiyoakiin Ena, and when she saw her looking at her, she smiled and said, "She is the first knight under the king?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a subtle change in Kiyoakiin Hina's eyes.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear you, Erica." Liliana hadn't planned to speak yet, but now she couldn't help herself and said, "Although you are indeed the first knight to serve the king, being the first to pledge allegiance doesn't mean you can call yourself the first knight."
Liliana obviously disagreed with this statement.
"But this is the truth, Lily." Erica said calmly, "Since I, Erica Blountrey, have become a disciple of the King, I will be the first knight no matter what. This has nothing to do with the order, but it will not affect the final result."
"...You are still as confident as ever." Liliana narrowed her eyes and looked at Erica unkindly, saying: "Since you dare to speak so arrogantly, you should have the courage to accept my challenge, right?"
As she spoke, Liliana seemed ready to pull out the Silver Master.
In response, Erica simply looked at Liliana with a teasing and slightly strange look.
"Do you want to compete with me for the position of the first knight, Lily?" Erica said with a smile, "I don't mind, because I am not afraid of any challenge, but before that, you have to be a knight first, right?"
"What do you mean?" Liliana frowned and glared at Erica, saying, "You said I'm not a knight? Are you insulting me?"
"You forgot it yourself, Lily." Erica didn't mind Liliana's glare and said leisurely, "Now you are not a knight under my king, but a captured maid, okay?"
Liliana was petrified.
"A mere maid is not qualified to compete for the position of the first knight, Lily." Erica said with a killer smile on her face, "If you want to challenge me, you should first find a way to get the king to exempt you from your maid status and restore your knight status."
Liliana opened her mouth slightly, unable to speak.
At this time, Qingqiuyuan Hina spoke.
"She was able to leave Miss Liliana speechless. It seems that Miss Erica is very strong." Kiyoakiin Ena said to Erica with her usual bright expression and tone: "Although I don't know when the king's men recruited European knights, Ena doesn't dislike the practice of determining status by force."
"Even though Ena is not the king's knight but a concubine, she still wants to challenge Ms. Erica and give it a try."
“Well, do I have this chance?”
Kiyoakiin Ena actually showed a combative side.
It's not that Qingqiuyuan Hina can't stand Erica's self-confidence, nor is it that she feels threatened by Erica, but years of education have taught her that what she wants must be obtained through competition.
When the fight comes, as the daughter of the Kiyoakiin family, Kiyoakiin Hina must never retreat.
The Italian beauty in front of him, who claimed to be the first knight under the king, was not someone to be underestimated just by looking at her appearance and aura. She might be a concubine preparing to ascend to the throne.
In that case, Qingqiuyuan Hui will have to talk to the other party.
First Knight?
I’m afraid she’s not here to compete for the first lady?
This won’t do!
If the target is Yuri Manrigai, then Seiakiin Hina will naturally have no objection, because she knows Yuri Manrigai inside and out, knows that she is not someone who likes to compete for favor, and knows that her abilities are very important to the king, so when the king says that Yuri should be ranked before her, she has no objection.
But... this Miss Erica is not like that.
It's obvious that he's here to win favor and is unwilling to be inferior to others.
Whether she is a knight or a concubine, she wants to be the number one. Qingqiuyuan Hui saw this tendency in her.
Then she can't pretend she didn't see it!
"I said, I am not afraid of any challenge." Erica took over Kiyoakiin Ena's fighting spirit and said with a smile: "Ms. Ena seems to be the same as Yuri, both are the maidens of this country, but you are different from the weak Yuri, you can tell at a glance that you are very strong."
As she spoke, Erica glanced at the sword bag next to Kiyoakiin Ena.
From it, she felt an extraordinary spirituality.
Erica was not naive enough to think that Hime-mikoto, who showed up with something like that, was a powerless person.
Liliana's subsequent words also proved this point.
"Don't underestimate this girl, Erica." Liliana seemed to have selectively forgotten what happened just now. Seeing Erica and Kiyoakiin Ena fighting against each other, she couldn't help but say: "This girl is a necromancer who can borrow the power of God. Even if she uses the [Bow Song], I am no match for her."
Erica raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
"So, Lily, you've already lost to her?"
Erica turned to Liliana.
"…Although I am reluctant to accept it, you are right. When the king and the marquis fought, the person who stopped and defeated me was her."
Liliana seemed really unwilling.
Among her peers, this was the first time that she lost so predictably, and it was quite a blow to her.
After all, she has always been called a genius and a child prodigy. In the past, only Erica could be considered her opponent. But now, she is defeated by an unknown witch in this remote place in the far east. With Liliana's temperament, she would certainly feel unwilling.
On the contrary, Erica accepted the news very quickly after hearing that her rival, whom she had grown up with, had been defeated.
"Neccentric, I didn't expect this legendary being to appear in such a small country..."
Erica looked deeply at Kiyoakiin Hina and said something.
"I originally thought that the disciple of Luo Hao, the young master of the Lu family, whom I met in Hong Kong, was already one of the few scholars besides Lily who could match my talent and strength. I didn't expect that there was a rare necromancer hidden here."
Although it was just hearsay, Erica still knew how powerful the necromancer was.
Apart from anything else, the fact that they can borrow the power of God is an advantage that ordinary human beings cannot match.
The power of God, even if only a small part is borrowed, can easily rival the best warriors of mankind.
This Hime-mikoto, who is the same age as me, may be the strongest opponent I have ever encountered, except for the gods and sacred beasts.
The fact that she was able to defeat Lily who used David's Word Spirit is enough to prove this point.
Thinking of this, Erica not only did not feel afraid, but instead a fighting spirit rose in her heart.
"It seems like it would be very interesting to fight against the miko who serves God."
Erica stretched out her hand, clenched her palm, and the immortal magic sword suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Although Grandpa still has the power to lend to Ena, Ena is now serving the king instead of the gods."
Kiyoakiin Hina also stood up, picked up the sword bag, and smiled at Erica.
The smell of gunpowder between the two of them suddenly filled the air, and their gazes into each other seemed to be able to produce fire, fierce and exciting.
“Wait, wait!”
Yuri Manrigai finally stood up and hurriedly stopped it.
"Ms. Erica, and Ena, what are you doing? Why are you fighting all of a sudden?"
She really didn't expect that these two people would go straight into fighting mode when they met for the first time.
“Don’t stop me, Yuri.” Erica didn’t look at Erica, but just looked at Kiyoakiin Ena, smiling as she said, “This is a battle to decide who will be the king’s most trusted minister. It concerns the dignity of a knight. If you try to stop it, you will be punished by God.”
"Don't worry, Yuri." Seiakiin Ena looked at Manrigani Yuri and said caringly, "The first place will definitely belong to Yuri, and Ena will defend this position for you."
"Oh?" Erica then looked at Yuri Mariya and said with a smile, "So Yuri also wants to compete for the first place?"
"This was originally Yuri's position, and it was Miss Erica who wanted to fight for it, right?" Kiyoakiin Ena said without waiting for Yuri Banrigai to reply, "The king also said that Yuri will be ranked before Ena, so Ena will definitely help Yuri secure the position of the first favorite concubine, so that Ena can become the second person to marry."
"I see." Erica nodded and said to Mariya Yuri with a half-smile: "I underestimated you, Yuri. So you came to the king with this idea in mind."
"No, no!" Wanli Yuri hastily denied it, blushing and saying, "I don't want to be a concubine! And I'm not loyal to the king just because of this!"
At this time, Liliana spoke.
"Don't deny it, Wanliya Yuri." Liliana said, "Because of you, the capital and the marquis went to war. This matter has spread all over the world."
"Now, all the well-informed magic societies know that you, Yuri Mariya, are the woman next to the new king."
"Even your country's official organization... is it called the Official History Compilation Committee? They have already publicly acknowledged this matter, and for this reason, they have also pushed the Wanligu family to the forefront."
"I guess your family has already started to plan how much dowry to prepare for you, right?"
These words made Wanli Gu Yuli freeze there, unable to move anymore.
At this time, Yuri Manrigani remembered that her parents had stopped asking her whether she would come home at night for some time.
Even when I was going home, they carefully asked me why I didn't stay here.
“It’s okay, Yuri. Mom and dad are very open-minded people. You’re old enough now. If you want to stay over there… then go ahead.”
"Yes, Yuri, mom and dad have no objection. But... you must be careful, okay?"
Thinking of the meaningful look on her parents' faces when they said this, Yuri Manrigai blushed instantly.
I still remember that her sister seemed to have said something similar?
"Is my sister going to be an adult?"
Thinking of his sister's words that were full of curiosity and surprise, Yuri Manrigai covered his face and squatted down.
“That’s not the case!”
No one paid attention to the girl's crying.
"It's not easy to perform here, let's go outside."
"Ena has no objection, then, King, Ena will be back soon."
Erica and Kiyoakiin Ena left together and went outside.
"I'll go over and take a look."
Liliana naturally would not miss this battle. After asking Aize for instructions, she immediately followed.
Aize was watching from the sidelines from beginning to end, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, and it seemed that he didn't care at all whether Erica and Kiyoakiin Hina would fight or not.
“What a spirit.”
Just like seeing two kids arguing about a fight, Aize drank his tea leisurely, feeling very comfortable.
