Like that good-for-nothing Richard...
Feng Guang thought she had misheard, and she asked uncertainly, "Hey...did you say something wrong?"
How could a knight like Arno, who has always been dutiful and loyal to Richard, suddenly say something so disrespectful?
To his surprise, Arno showed no sign of alarm. Since Feng Guang thought he had misheard, he kindly repeated himself, "Was I wrong to say Richard was a good-for-nothing prince?"
Fengguang: "..."
She certainly didn't want to refute this statement; she just couldn't believe Arno's use of the word "idiot."
“There’s no one else here,” Arno said. “And I also believe that you, who have always looked down on Richard, will never have the chance to talk to him.”
That's why he can call people "good-for-nothing prince" so brazenly.
Feng Guang clearly sensed that Arno no longer possessed the humility and honesty he used to give off. At this moment, not only was his smile unfathomable, but even the meaning behind his words seemed unpredictable.
"Aren't you Richard's personal attendant?" Feng Guang asked with some doubt. A loyal knight would never talk about his master behind his back.
“Although I hate to admit it, I am indeed Richard’s attendant.” Arno sighed, seemingly helplessly. “Wendy, you don’t understand. Even though Richard is a good-for-nothing prince, I can only try my best to beat others to get the position of attendant.”
After listening, Feng Guang remained silent for a while, then calmly retorted, "Of course I wouldn't understand if you didn't tell me."
She doesn't have mind-reading abilities or any skills to see the past. It would be a miracle if she could understand things that others don't say.
Arno thought about it and agreed. Fengguang's intelligence wasn't particularly outstanding compared to others. Expecting her to discover something with her own intelligence was asking too much. Besides, he didn't have that much patience.
"I wonder if Wendy remembers something that happened when you were little?"
A lot happened when I was a child. Which one would you like to talk about?
Arno miscalculated. He had given her so much hints, but she still couldn't remember. So he said again, "When you were five years old, you pushed a death row inmate into Angel Spring."
"It's you!" Feng Guang immediately stood up from the ground and said in surprise, "You're not dead?"
“Yes, I’m not dead yet.” Arno chuckled and said, “You wouldn’t believe it, would you? Even after falling into the water, I’m still alive.”
"How could this be..."
“That’s certainly possible,” Arno interrupted her, and continued, “I thought I was going to die, but maybe it was my destiny. While I was unconscious, I was swept ashore by the current and was rescued by an elderly couple. They had no children, so I became their child.”
The elderly couple had come from the Spring Country to the Summer Country to do business. After Arno followed them back to the Spring Country, a few years later, he joined the army, passed all the tests, and became a member of the Knights. Finally, because of his outstanding performance, he was selected to become Richard's attendant.
"My journey has been incredibly arduous," Arno said with a wry smile. Lacking connections, he naturally had to put in far more effort than others. "But I've never considered giving up. Do you know why?"
