Krober secretly made up his mind that he must persuade Grand Duchess Veronica to leave here as soon as possible.
After all, he was the only one traveling with them on this trip. If any unexpected situation occurred, it would be a burden that he and the Golden Rose Family could not bear.
So, Krober quickly walked to Grand Duchess Veronica, lowered his voice to express his inner worries to her, and begged her to return to the castle and let the Knights be responsible for protecting her safety.
However, unexpectedly, when Grand Duchess Veronica heard Krober's proposal, an expression of astonishment appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Have you forgotten? I am a powerful dragon knight! Unless an entire dragon knight squadron is dispatched, who else can threaten me?"
As if she found Krober's suggestion too funny, Grand Duke Veronica couldn't help but burst into laughter, and her laughter echoed in the air for a long time without stopping.
Krober couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard the Grand Duke's laughter. It was strange that ever since he had been guarding the Grand Duke, he had always ignored the combat power of the Grand Duke's Dragon Knight and always regarded it as an existence that needed his protection.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on him. After all, he was taught to protect the Grand Duke's thoughts from the first day he joined the Dragon's Breath Knights. In addition, Grand Duke Veronica did not deliberately display the pressure of her dragon knight, which made Krober have no real understanding of the Grand Duke's true strength.
It was not known if it was Krober's words that cheered up Veronica, but her originally tense expression gradually relaxed, and she even began to chat with Krober proactively:
"Come to think of it, you haven't seen the true power of the Dragon Knight yet!"
Veronica's laughter gradually stopped, but there was still a faint smile on her face. Her deep and bright eyes stared at Krober's slightly immature face, and she spoke slowly.
"Take Vivian and I for example..."
As Grand Duchess Veronica spoke, she raised her hands, stretched them out, and drew two large circles in the air.
"If the two of us launch a combined attack, the force will be enough to destroy nearly half of Hildre Fortress! Of course, this is also because Vivian isn't adept at using large-scale, destructive magic. If it were another elemental dragon proficient in such magic, a single full-strength attack would likely completely obliterate the entire fortress!"
Against the backdrop of the huge crowd, Veronica, illuminated by the firelight, shone like a bright star.
Her cute and flaunting tone, the movement of her arms raised straight up, and her delicate and beautiful face, that sense of contrast, that sense of cuteness, were like arrows that shot straight into Krober's heart.
At that moment, Kroeber clearly felt his heart skip a beat.
"Hey, hey! Why are you suddenly in a daze, my Lord Krober!"
Uh-huh? !
When Krober came to his senses, he saw a delicate hand swaying in front of him. He looked closely and found that the owner of the hand was Grand Duchess Veronica.
"Oops!"
At this time, Krober, who had fully come to his senses, was almost sweating profusely. The idiom "sweating profusely" was the best way to describe him.
"Oh my God! Yuanshi Tianzun! What on earth was I doing just now?!"
Krober cursed his own stupidity in his heart. He usually prided himself on having excellent self-control, but for some reason, in just over a month of being with the Grand Duke, he had already been distracted twice, and in front of him!
"Please forgive my rudeness, sir! I...I..."
His mouth, which used to be full of witty remarks, could not utter a single word. His mind, which used to be calm and rational, was blank. Krober now had completely lost his usual elegance and composure, and only panic lingered around him.
Helplessly, he could only cast his helpless gaze on the Grand Duke. At this moment, he had no idea what reason to use to explain his actions.
But Veronica just touched Krober's head, and Krober felt like he was electrocuted. This feeling was a bit strange and he couldn't accept it all of a sudden.
The gentle touch above his head made Krober look at Grand Duchess Veronica in confusion.
"Let's go, my knight. Your mission today is to accompany me shopping. I hope you won't fail in this mission!"
After leaving the castle, Veronica seemed like a different person. She became extremely cheerful and talkative. She no longer had the alienation she had when facing the vassals, nor was she as cold as she was in the garden just now. Now she was more like a flesh-and-blood person, and the brilliance of her humanity was more dazzling, making her no longer so difficult to approach.
"Yes, sir!"
Krober couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Grand Duke didn't pursue his thoughts. It seemed that he still had a little importance in the Grand Duke's heart.
Krober has always been very self-aware of his own position. He is good-looking but weak in strength, which is obviously the necessary condition to be the Grand Duke's pet. In other words, the entire Dragon Breath Knights are the Grand Duke's pets, but he may be particularly good-looking among this group of pets and is particularly liked by the Grand Duke.
He doesn't mind his current position. For him, this position can protect himself well and give himself more time for development.
Feeling the fighting spirit in his body, Krober felt that it wouldn't be long before he could fill his entire body with fighting spirit, undergo the first transformation of fighting spirit, and be promoted to the realm of great knight.
At that time, he would have more choices: either be sent abroad to become a baron, or continue to serve as a herald beside the Grand Duke, slowly accumulating strength, and then obtain a good fiefdom after reaching a higher level and start his farming journey.
