"Ah...this."
Krober hadn't expected that a dignified Earth Knight could be so nervous that he couldn't even hold a water cup.
This made him laugh.
However, in order to improve Shirley's favorability, he pretended to be concerned and walked forward, trying to wipe off the water stains on her with his hands.
In fact, with the physique of the Earth Knights, a mere cup of boiling water would not cause them any pain at all. How could they be injured by a small cup of boiling water?
But Frank, the second son of a minor noble family played by Kroeber, would not know this.
So this gave him the opportunity to get close to Shirley Blue Flame Grass.
He pretended to wipe the water stains off Shirley, but in fact he was checking whether the female knight was carrying any weapons.
After a pretentious search, he finally confirmed that the female knight did not come to see him with any weapons, and was only wearing a thin knight's uniform.
"Um... am I taking advantage of others?"
At this time, Krober just reacted. He took advantage of the water spilled on the other person's clothes and went forward to search here and there, which seemed to be a suspicion of taking advantage of the other person.
But in his heart, Krober always treated Shirley Blue Flame Grass as an enemy. He didn't have this mentality. The enemy was the enemy, and he had to do what he had to do. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he might pay the price with his life.
However, after confirming that Shirley had no weapons, Kroeber finally let down his guard.
After all, given his own fighting power, Shirley, the Earth Knight, can pose little threat to him.
His only worry now is the possibility that there might be another Earth Knight in the Blue Flame Grass Family.
Although he would kill both Earth Knights, if one of them fought desperately to intercept him and the other one ran away, he would not be able to stop him.
This goes against Kroeber's original intention of hiding the truth.
The purpose of Krober's mission was to wipe out the Blue Flame Grass family's wealth and supplies to supplement the financial problems within the Golden Duchy.
But this matter must not be known to those guys in Duke Edwin's territory, or in other words, no evidence should be left for them.
If the Saint Gold Castle sends out troops openly, it will definitely be discovered by the spies from all parties hiding in the Saint Gold Castle.
This would not meet the requirement of confidentiality.
However, Krober chose to break up the group into smaller units, letting each member of the Dragon's Breath Knights disguise themselves as refugees and leave Saint Gold Castle.
Among them, Kroeber also took into account their outstanding appearance, so he deliberately used some means to make them look more like refugees.
Back to the topic, after confirming that Shirley was no longer a threat, Krober relaxed his vigilance.
But Shirley was not as relaxed as Krober at this time.
"What is he doing?"
Feeling Krober's big hands wandering over her body, the warm touch made her feel numb when it touched every inch of her skin, as if an electric current was flowing through her body.
Her heartbeat began to speed up and her breathing became rapid.
She wanted to struggle, but found that her body was so soft that she couldn't exert any strength.
Kroeber's hands became more and more wanton. He began to caress her cheeks, neck and shoulders, and then gradually moved down, through her clothes, touching her soft skin.
(I know you won’t like the rest, so I won’t write it. Also, who said I can’t write this kind of thing? Get me out and kill me!)
All this was Shirley's illusion. In fact, Kroeber just wanted to check whether she had any close-fitting weapons on her.
He didn't touch her in so many places, it was just that Shirley was too nervous and had some fantasies.
"Be gentle!"
Shirley was startled by her own voice. Her original voice was calm and serious, but the voice she uttered now was inexplicably full of charm.
Those three simple words, when she said them, turned into the coquettish words between young lovers, which made her feel a little shy inside.
"I'm so sorry, Lady Shirley. I was so rude."
Kroeber pretended to be frightened, quickly left Shirley's side and kept apologizing.
And when Shirley felt that the hand that had been on her body had left her, she actually felt a little lonely.
"You...don't say that!"
Shirley blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Krober's eyes. Her voice was a little shy and nervous, like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
Seeing how cute Shirley was, Krober couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart, but he tried hard not to show it.
(The impulse of a plan that is about to succeed)
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then smiled and said to Shirley:
"Mrs. Shirley, you are truly beautiful!"
Hearing this, Shirley's face turned even redder. She bit her lip slightly and whispered:
"Thank you for the compliment, but... I still hope you won't call me 'Master' in the future. I allow you to just call me by my name."
Kroeber nodded in understanding.
The atmosphere between the two became a little subtle, but Shirley was just simply nervous, while Krober was thinking about how to pry the information he wanted from her.
And this subtlety lasted for more than a minute.
Unexpectedly, it was Shirley who took the initiative to break this awkward scene.
"Mr. Frank, you are not just a simple choir leader, are you?"
As soon as these words came out, Krober's pupils shrank, and the muscles in his body subconsciously tensed up in an instant, and even his aura became fierce.
"Sure enough, Mr. Frank is not a simple man."
After feeling the change in Krober's aura, Shirley thought to herself, as expected.
"When did you find out?"
Krober thought that his performance just now was normal, even excellent, and he was simply playing Shirley Blue Flame Grass in the palm of his hand.
So he couldn't figure out how Shirley found out.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Krober's question, Shirley's face turned red again.
"You don't need to know why. Answer my question: who are you?"
Kroeber ignored the question raised by Shirley. He was observing what changes had happened to Shirley that caused her to suddenly become enlightened.
He subconsciously sniffed and found that the humidity in the originally dry room suddenly increased a bit, and was filled with an inexplicable smell.
"you.....!!"
Krober looked at Shirley Blue Flame Grass in disbelief. He found that this matter seemed a little beyond his expectations.
“Shut up!!”
Feeling Krober's gaze, the ashamed and angry Shirley quickly raised her hand to stop Krober from blurting out the words.
