As soon as Noelle's words fell, a strange silence appeared in the room.
Eliza blinked her eyes when she heard Miss Angel's declaration. Roja was also confused. He held Noelle's hand holding him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"That, Noelle... what is the protector?"
To be honest, this name is not too difficult to understand, but I have to say that there are too many titles of the Hezkrit family. What is the defender of the light of the human world, what is the mediator of the nobles? In short, there are countless similar titles, and the protector seems to be among them. Not outstanding.
Roja was full of question marks, feeling that this name was like a protection fee, and Noelle also reacted, she suddenly said:
"By the way, Hizkrit has not assumed the duty of a protector for decades. It is normal for you not to know it."
Miss Angel smiled, looking at Luo Ya's Jin Tong who was close at hand, with a little tenderness on her face.
"Do you remember what I said to you at that time? I said that I would protect you, love you, and become your protector. That's not the end."
"The people Hezkrit promised to protect are mostly the victims of political assassinations, the survivors of soldiers who died on the battlefield, or the politicians of other countries who abandoned the secrets to the public, but these are only the third level..."
Noelle softly explained the royal protector system for Roya. Generally speaking, the protector system is divided into three levels, the third is the lowest, the second is the second, and the highest is the first.
The third level is mostly the injustices mentioned before. The royal family will give special care after hearing it. The second level is the survival crisis of the whole family of the domestic noble families. This is a major event that may shake the division of the religious state and cause serious political turmoil. , Or the king of a small country came to the religious country to seek asylum due to the threat of evil forces. As for the first level... it was used by the children of the Hezkrit tribe.
Of course, the level is different, and the treatment is different. The third level is mostly verbal propaganda, similar to the big brother's declaration like "This person is under my cover." The second level is to send actual forces to protect, as for the first level , In theory, Hizkrit would dispatch private troops, similar to a large group of court guards around Noelle.
However, as the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. The power of protection is only one aspect. The protector system is even more powerful in its punitive measures.
Most of the third-level figures are domestic people, who can be dealt with behind closed doors. Once the protected person dies unnaturally, the State will liquidate all participants in the incident within ten years and avenge the victims.
Most of the second-level figures are from abroad, and the enemy is probably not within the scope of the religious country. The punishment is to enter all countries and forces involved in the murder into the religious country’s blacklist, and implement a full range of suppressive sanctions within a hundred years, even including launching. war.
As for the first level... This is nothing to say. The indefinite annihilation order of the country is dedicated to this generation of court officials. Their major achievements are on this piece of paper. Every day, they are deliberate. Thinking about how to kill those organizations, countries or individuals above.
I just want to kill you.
This is almost the attitude of Hizkrit towards the villains who have offended the first rank, and they did.
The eclipsing church of the giant organization of Transcendents was once the number one target on this list. After years of large-scale and no-cost hunts, even these behemoths did not stand up. This shows the terrible annihilation order.
It's terrible, it's terrible forever.
"Our protection relationship is determined based on the old contract. It should have been at the second level, but since I myself made a similar commitment, I made an exception and upgraded to the first level this time."
"The first level? That is to say..."
"Yes, from this perspective, you are now a member of the royal family and my closest family. As your protector, all actions that hurt you are the most direct provocation to me."
"!"
Noelle's words made Roya stunned. He never thought that his relationship with the princess could develop to such a degree, and Noelle was even willing to use the state machinery to protect him.
To be honest, this protector system has given Roja a great sense of security. As the villain of the original villain, Roja's goal has always been to raise the flag and increase his probability of survival, but now it seems that Noelle Achieved more than half of his goal.
With the support of Noelle's church country, plus baby Alisa, even if the protagonist and the remaining two heroines still want to kill him, Roja is estimated to be invincible.
"Noelle, you...thank you."
He hesitated for a long time but didn't know what to say. In the end, Roja could only put all his feelings on thanks. Noelle smiled when he heard what he said, and then turned to look at Alisha who was pale.
"Miss Alisa, then you understand. As Roja's protector, I have to care about all of his situation, so the family affairs of the Acate family can't be an excuse to stop me."
"... So that's it, is this how you do it? Your Royal Highness."
The silver-haired girl clenched her fists and tried to control her emotions. She never expected that in addition to herself, someone else could see through the very good sense of uneasiness that Roja had always hidden. The girl’s raised red pupils contained some weakness. But more is firm.
"Your Royal Highness, I don't have your power and status, and I can't do the things you said, but don't think that you can monopolize the elder brother in this way."
"You may indeed rely on these to protect the elder brothers, but this does not mean that I can't do it. I am busy with official duties, saying that I am a protector, but how many days can I personally accompany my elder brother?"
"..."
Alyssa's words made Noelle frowned insignificantly. As the heir to Hizkrit, Noelle did have countless things to do. She naturally knew this and was also what she worried about.
The silver-haired girl and Noelle looked at each other and walked forward, reaching out from behind to hug Luoya, and said in a gentle voice:
"In this respect, I am different. I can always accompany my elder brother to protect his safety personally. Compared with the punitive measures afterwards, the loved one will not get hurt from the beginning. I think this is the only way to It's a real guardian."
"Alyssa..."
Roja was deeply touched by Alisha's words. Although he knew that the current girl had no power to restrain the chicken, Roja was still very touched to hear that she had such a heart.
Eliza’s misunderstanding of Roja didn’t explain anything, because in the eyes of the girl, her strength was indeed too weak. Eliza’s real goal was Noelle, which used to be and is now even more so.
The boy was moved, but he didn't dare to move. Now Roja's posture is very strange. His front half of his body is almost attached to the blonde girl's body by the collar, but the back half is held by the silver-haired girl again, separated by Luo. The two young girls stared at each other, neither of them was outdone.
In a daze, Luo Ya seemed to hear the sound of the soul coming from nine days away.
Do you want this golden girl? Still want this silver girl? Still want this copper girl
Bah, there is no copper girl, no, it seems that these two are...
Luo Ya stared at the dead fish eyes and thought divergent, and tried his best to maintain the state of suspended animation, hoping that both sides would treat him as a pillow, but the facts proved that this was impossible.
"Roja, do you think who of us is right?"
"My elder brother, is Alisa wrong?"
"This, this..."
Facing the front and back of the body and mind, Luo Ya was defeated. He looked at the two girls back and forth with difficulty, feeling that he had been driven to a dead end.
However, what he didn't expect was that the light of the right way suddenly shone on the earth.
"Master, lunch is ready, Master is already seated."
"Oh, well, we are here!"
Anna's notification outside the door was like a fairy sound in Roya's ears at this moment, and the boy responded loudly, finally getting rid of the crisis temporarily.
-------------------------------------------
"Uncle Cardia, thank you for your hospitality."
In the restaurant, Noelle thanked the Lord Marquis with a smile after the meal. She was sincere and respectful, and she was completely like a downright princess. In the face of her respect, Katia was also very happy.
"Where and where, Her Royal Highness suddenly came to visit, it is our honor."
As the saying goes, everyone carried the sedan chair, and the royal family's visits to the homes of the nobles were usually business tactics. Kardia was not surprised to see more of these, but this time, his smile came from the heart.
The reason is that Noelle's attitude towards him is not equal, but has been talking as a younger generation. This humble attitude has undoubtedly gained a lot of favor from Kardia, and he also knows the reason.
The Marquis-sama glanced at Loya, who was rarely seen today, who couldn't eat too much, and didn't understand what tricks his stinky kid did to win the heart of the future leader of the religious nation. , He turned his head and glanced at Alisa, who was somewhat silent the whole time, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Boy, your opponent is a bit strong.
Kardia felt pity in his heart. As Alisha’s nominal father, Kardia would naturally not be snobbish to turn his elbow outwards. Strictly speaking, he still prefers his half of the student, but the preference in his heart is the same thing. Actually helping is another matter. Noelle respects him so much, he can't make a trip to this kid secretly, right
Alas, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I will not mix them up, you are free.
After a cutscene, Cardia found a chance and slipped away. After all, he left Roja alone, and after the parents left, Noelle finally said the purpose of this trip.
"Roya, about the ancestors, I want to talk to you."
