A strange emotion flashed quickly in Cassius's red eyes.
Fleeting.
Too fast to catch.
A faint smile appeared on the boy's fair and handsome face as he asked with a puzzled look:
Why did you go looking for the paladin?
Fu Sang showed a slightly annoyed expression.
"I have encountered... I must find the paladin."
Cassius narrowed his red eyes slightly, and pursed his thin lips.
"I heard that paladins haven't appeared for a long time, and no one has ever seen what they look like."
The boy lowered his long, thick black eyelashes, obscuring the dark glint in the depths of his pupils.
"Moreover, they only obey the king's orders."
"I know."
Cassius looked up at the girl.
The beautiful girl had a confident smile on her face.
“They will help me.”
"Why?" Cassius asked.
Fu Sang wore a faint smile, his tone firm and leaving no room for doubt.
"Because they are paladins."
—This cutie is the queen!
“A powerful paladin will not put the Kalmar Empire in danger.”
—The paladin will not abandon the queen.
As Cassius listened to the girl's admiring tone, a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.
He couldn't help but curl his thin, handsome lips into a smile, his delicate face radiating a gentle warmth.
"You're right."
then.
The boy seemed to remember something, stood up and asked, "Where is my sword?"
"A sword?" Fu Sang suddenly stood up.
Cassius nodded and said, "When you took me home, did you see the sword I left on the shore?"
Fu Sang pointed to the fire in the stove, looking somewhat guilty.
"It can't be...that one, can it?"
Cassius quickly ran over and grabbed the hilt of the sword that hadn't been completely thrown in.
The red-hot wooden sword was pulled out, bringing with it some sparks.
Fortunately, the sword doesn't seem to have broken from the heat.
Cassius took the sword out and poured water from the bucket onto it.
"Hiss~" The cold water lowered the temperature of the sword.
Fu Sang secretly poked her little hand.
It's really not her fault.
This sword is just like wood.
She thought the boy was gathering firewood in the forest.
so……
They put the sword in the firewood to start a fire.
“Cassius.” Fusang stood beside the boy.
She tugged at the boy's sleeve.
"Sorry, I thought it was firewood."
Cassius placed his sword on the stone and turned around.
A smile appeared on his exquisitely handsome face, and his shimmering, beautiful eyes sparkled.
"It's okay, many people think that way."
Fu Sang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the sword.
Speaking of which...
This sword is of good quality.
When she picked it up, she tried to break it with force, but surprisingly, she couldn't.
"Cassius, are you a knight?"
In this country, only knights carry swords.
However.
Cassius has not yet answered.
"Clatter, clatter—" The sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Suddenly, a number of knights dressed in silver armor appeared.
The knights of the empire dismounted, gripping their sharp swords at their waists, and stared at the young man and woman with murderous intent.
Fusang instinctively tried to stand in front of Cassius.
Suddenly, I thought about my public persona.
She hid behind the boy again and held his arm tightly.
A girl's desire for protection is adorable.
A smile flashed across Cassius's eyes, and a hint of pleasure welled up in his heart.
The leading knight sized up the handsome young man and woman.
He turned and waved to the knight, ordering, "Take them back."
The tall knight stepped forward.
As if remembering something, Fusang grabbed Cassius's arm.
He lowered his soft, gentle voice.
"Don't be impulsive, go back with them."
