"Teacher Hubert!"
Kanser didn't seem surprised to see the old general appear. He walked up to him enthusiastically and wanted to hug him.
"Stop, Your Highness Kanser... What's going on?"
Hubert observed Kanser's face. Compared with Elena beside him who looked dirty, he looked much cleaner, and even the knight armor he was wearing was polished to a shine.
Just from looking at Kanser's bloody face, General Hubert could be sure that he was not resurrected by some undead magic, but was a living person.
"Of course, to help the refugees, Mr. Hubert."
When Kanser heard Hubert's harsh rebuke, he put away the enthusiastic smile on his face and responded directly to Hubert about what he was doing.
“Helping refugees?”
Hubert turned his gaze to the refugees who were queuing up to board the wooden boats. When Hubert turned his gaze to the wooden boats docked at the port, he suddenly understood something.
"Your Highness Kanser, you betrayed us?" General Hubert asked the prince loudly.
Although the ship was flying the flag of the Skare royal family, its style was that of a neighboring country.
All the ships owned by the Scarre Kingdom had been destroyed by blood crystal beasts half a year ago, which resulted in Hubert having to ride a walking beast all the way from the royal capital to this city.
"Betrayal? General Hubert, you can't just pin a non-existent crime on me."
The moment Kanser heard these words, there was no longer any hint of respect in the voice.
"Where were you when your two brothers, Mo Xiuze and Nan Xier, were defending Xingluo City against the attack of the blood crystal beast?"
General Hubert raised his voice again and questioned Kanser. He widened his eyes and spoke as if he wanted to swallow Kanser.
"Where were you when your knights fought the blood crystal beasts for three days and three nights to protect the capital?"
The reason why General Hubert was so angry was because Kanser was once the leader of the first knight order in the kingdom and was also Hubert's apprentice.
Half a year ago, General Hubert thought that Canser had died on the battlefield and mourned for him for a whole day. After that, the 67-year-old Hubert took over the position of leader of the First Knights again.
But now, not only did Kanser not die, he also abandoned his people, and his family fled to a neighboring country to escape... no, it should be said that they were enjoying themselves.
"I'm in the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai! Is this answer enough?" Kanser interrupted General Hubert's scolding with some anger. "But this is not betrayal! I have reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai! They are willing to save the refugees in our country!"
"Rescue? I think it's plunder!"
General Hubert saw through Kanser's plan at a glance. He planned to take these refugees to neighboring countries and make them the property of those countries. If the king was in a good mood, they might become ordinary citizens, but if he was in a bad mood, they could only be slaves.
After all, in the eyes of their neighbors, they are outsiders.
"So what are you going to do? Let these people wait to die here? I'm not as stupid as my brothers. Going out to fight the blood crystal beasts is no different from committing suicide!" Kanser also loudly criticized General Hubert.
"You are a young man of this country, the first knight of Skare. This land raised you! When it was invaded by the enemy and shrouded in war, if you don't stand up, who else will..."
General Hubert sighed deeply when he said this, as if he had aged ten years. He shook his head sadly and turned around to leave.
"The honor of being the first knight is not as important as your life! Even if you sacrifice everything for Scarlett, what does it matter? Look at Elena's mother. She did so much for Scarlett, but she was still despised!"
Kanser was really furious now. When he was halfway through his words, he suddenly saw Princess Elena beside Hubert, so he couldn't help but mention the tragic experience of Princess Elena's mother.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kanser realized his mistake.
Elena, who was about to leave the port with General Hubert, suddenly stopped. She slowly turned around and looked at Prince Kanser quietly with her scarlet pupils.
"What did you say happened to my mother?"
There was suppressed anger in Elena's voice as she walked towards Prince Kanser.
"Stop her! Stop her quickly!"
Kanser was a little out of his mind at this moment. He shouted to the soldiers beside him, wanting them to stop Princess Elena.
“Back off!”
General Hubert loudly ordered the soldiers who were holding spears and preparing to step forward. The majesty of the former first knight of the kingdom had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and those soldiers chose to obey Hubert's orders.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Kanser shouted as he retreated, behaving in a way that was totally inconsistent with being the First Knight.
Because Kanser suddenly remembered the experience when he was a child, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by Elena, who was only ten years old.
At that time, he also made a malicious joke about his mother in front of Elena. As a result, Elena, who was eating snacks with a spoon in the previous second, threw down the spoon and punched him in the face in the next second.
Before that, Kanser had heard the guards in the palace say several times, "If Her Highness Elena could join the Knights, she might be the strongest knight in the history of the kingdom."
Kanser has always scoffed at this statement. How could a little girl who is only ten years old become the strongest knight in the kingdom
It was not until Elena was small enough to hit him in the face with her cute fists, making him hear the sound of broken bones, that Kanser instantly understood what the guards meant.
For nine whole years, Kanser believed that he was completely different from before and that he was the strongest knight in the kingdom. He drew his knight's sword and wanted to teach the little girl a lesson.
Elena had raised her fist and swung it violently at his cheek.
Today, nine years later, Kanser finally experienced the true iron fist of the kingdom's first knight again.
Kanser felt no pain because his brain lost consciousness the moment Elena's fist hit his cheek.
In a trance, he felt a sense of weightlessness. When he came to his senses... he felt a pain that was almost breaking from the back of his cheeks and even his waist.
Kanser raised his head with difficulty... and found himself lying on the edge of the port three meters away, with a triple image of everything he saw in front of him.
He tried hard to suppress the dizziness in his head and wanted to stand up again to regain his dignity as the first knight, but Kanser couldn't hold on and fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
