"Okay, since your sister is not at home, I'll visit you next time. Please accept this small gift, it's just a new idea."
It took a night yesterday, forcing Green with a sword to remove all his traps and explosives, and then another night of forceful suppression before they temporarily gave up on their goals.
I was choked up by those swindlers, I didn't sleep well for half a night, and before it was dawn, I went out alone.
Well, since this group of scammers is too unreliable, hurry up and find reliable ones. After sorting out the history of the Oran Empire a little, I found a few future powerhouses that should be in the capital, but have not yet developed. .
This time, in order to recruit a few more normal people, I also reluctantly tick off a few names, and the rest are future heroes who are worthy of admiration regardless of their reputation, strength, and character.
But it is surprising that no one visited the two families in the morning. The third family found "Swift Sword" Swinna Di Nelson, but was also told that she had gone out early in the morning.
I'm a little strange, this morning, Swina, a female swordsman, can go there.
"Little brother, can you tell me where your sister went?"
One time is accidental, three times is accidental, and I can't tell. Now I ask which two companies are unclear. Now that the other party is a good kid, I naturally won't let it go.
"I can't say what my elder sister said... My elder sister went to participate in the selection of guardian knights. She is a foreign princess."
Well, it really is a bear child. The lollipops and small toys were originally prepared for this little brother that Swina loves most, and he immediately let him forget about his sister's instructions.
"Guardian knight? Princess? Svena herself is a woman, what does she do?"
I couldn't help laughing out loud, but when I remembered the life of the heroine mentioned in the guide, it was somewhat understandable.
"'Swift Sword' Swina, the descendant of the great nobles of the Oran Empire, a female swordsman from a family who has been determined to revitalize the family since childhood. She once disguised as a male knight to join the army to seek promotion, but she was expelled from the jurisdiction due to her identity exposure. The blue dragon knights, just started their own path of loneliness."
Obviously, this eldest sister fulfilled the historical goal ahead of time, pretending to be a male to participate in the selection of guardian knights for foreign princesses. In comparison, as long as she can become the guardian knight of foreign princesses, at least she can get rid of her status as a commoner, and it can be regarded as a step towards the goal of revitalizing the family. a big step.
"Wait, the selection of guardian knights? Foreign princess? Little Thiago, that foreign princess is from that country, do you know?"
"Well, it seems to be some kind of Lan..."
I figured it out in an instant, the boiling emotions boiled in my chest, and I couldn't hear the rest of the words.
"Dassos! You are brave enough!"
…
"Angry? Helpless? Fear? Despair?"
Renee could no longer express her emotions in words. The noisy Oran Royal Arena in front of her, and the cheers of the countless spectators made her fall into an icy desperate situation.
"Congratulations, Your Highness Rene, your famous beauty has crossed the obstacles of the Astor Mountains. You see, the young people who came today are very good. You should choose the most desirable guardian knight."
"Guardian knight? My husband is decided by you Oran people, why!"
The roar swirled in his throat and was swallowed again. Isn't this sudden attack-style selection of guardian knights not giving himself time to deal with it? I will never admit it as a knight." The other party will immediately take the opportunity to play it, raising it into a diplomatic event and becoming the fuse needed for the war.
Looking at the smiling envoys from other countries, and seeing their eyes mixed with sympathy, helplessness, and envy, Renee knew that it was pointless to ask them for help.
They have all the emotions, but they are not surprised. Obviously, they have already been notified, but as the person involved, they only learned about it two hours ago.
I don't know what the Oran Empire has paid, but the ally who we talked about yesterday changed his mind today and took himself as a sacrifice without hesitation. Renee was extremely angry, but she didn't know who to vent to.
She knows that in diplomatic situations, hysterical questioning will only make people look down on herself and her country, and tears are a symbol of weakness and immaturity.
"Is this what the teacher said about the relationship between countries? The bloody laws of the jungle? Arrogant Orans! One day, you will pay the price, and the true king of winter wolves will tear your throats."
All she can do is try to squeeze out a smile, and then remember the hateful faces in front of her.
Dasos, the king of winter wolves, looked at the little girl in front of him, a fourteen-year-old girl, who should not be of age to wake up in a wealthy noble family. The little girl in front of him gritted her teeth and lowered her head to try to restrain herself , obviously figured out everything in front of him.
To suffer this kind of humiliation at such a young age, and to maintain such calm in the face of such a desperate situation that is likely to lose a lifetime of happiness, is quite rare, but as his opponent, as a stone against his dominance, he It's still too tender, and the legendary one-rider as a thousand might be just propaganda.
"Cheers to the imminent conclusion of the great covenant! To the young men of our Oran Empire! To our charismatic Princess Renee!"
As the emperor took the lead in toasting, the golden cups filled with red wine were raised one by one, and many princes and nobles raised their glasses with joyful smiles. Like an alpha wolf patrolling its prey on a high hill.
Writing down the hatred and insults at the moment and looking for an opportunity for revenge is the only thing she can do at the moment.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'll go get some makeup."
But after all, she is only a fourteen-year-old girl, anger, despair, and grievance make her eyes inevitably turn red. She is unwilling to cry in front of her enemies, and leaves temporarily on the grounds of makeup.
And she had just stepped down from the stand, and under Dasos's eyes, two guards who were five big and three thick followed up.
Today's Renee is the protagonist, and the guardian knight must be finalized on the spot. Dasos will not allow any variables to happen, but she can't let her run away.
Soon, a guard was waiting outside the bathroom, and a guard ran back to report, and Dasos just nodded and turned his attention to the performance below.
In Dasos' consciousness, he did not treat any young princess badly. The candidates below are all elites among the minor nobles and commoners of the Oran Empire, and he can also take the opportunity to select talents.
Of course, children of great nobles and members of the royal family would not participate in such competitions. While bringing honor and status, a princess from another country was destined to keep her away from the center of Oran's power.
The selection of guardian knights following the ancient etiquette is a typical ring competition. Young knights show their knighthood and excellent martial arts for their beloved noble girls. As long as they show enough strength, the loser will also be appreciated.
As for the two legends arranged by the "official", after confirming that there were no "dark horses" that threatened their own seed players, they also readily conceded defeat. After all, the two legendary uncles are not too young to bully other girls. Too much.
Now that the following has entered the quarter-finals, those who can reach this stage are at least the powerhouses of the golden rank, and the Swift Sword Swinna happens to be one of them.
The future emperor of the Oran Empire was raising a glass to appreciate the fraternity of his people. Suddenly, looking at the stormy swordsman, he frowned slightly, called his attendants, and whispered a few words.
While the dignitaries of the Oran Empire were watching the performance with satisfaction in the stands, no one guessed what the exotic princess, who had been regarded as meat on the chopping block, thought.
At this moment, in the dressing room of the VIP room, facing the vanity mirror, the girl burst into tears and sobbed silently.
After all, she was only fourteen years old, and a year ago, she was still a carefree princess. Now, the cruel international struggle is all on her immature shoulders. She burst into tears when she thought of the family and the people who trusted her in her hometown, and the humiliation she was about to face.
"Father, Sister Kelly, I'm really an unqualified princess..."
"So, do you need power? Power enough to change fate."
The sudden sound made people wonder where it sounded, but the gentle voice that reached the heart gave Renee an instinctive trust, as if it came from the revelation of ancestors and gods.
"Yes, as long as I can change all this, even if I have to pay everything including my soul, I am willing... Who are you! What have you done to me!"
Well, the suggestion technique has been broken, but I have the answer, and I shook my head.
"Hey, it must be the descendant of Cavens. It's really stupid. The deal was negotiated at the beginning, and he didn't even see the opponent's trump card. You lied. You failed."
"You... who are you!"
The silence barrier prevented the screams from coming out. Before the girl lost consciousness, the last thing she saw was a face exactly like her own, and a somewhat familiar voice.
"Go to sleep, this burden is indeed a bit heavy for you. Let me help you pick a little bit. But your score in this pop-up test is zero, young man, remember to work hard to prepare for the make-up test."
…
The selection of guardian knights has entered the finals, and both sides of the competition are excellent young knights.
The tall and burly Carter is the squadron commander of the Oran Empire's Blue Dragon Knights. At only twenty-seven years old, with his outstanding martial arts and the heavy hammer of the epic magic weapon "Orc Crusher", he rushed all the way to the final destination. finals.
And his opponent, the young nameless swordsman, was the high-speed and agile swordsman he hated the most. He found that the absolute strength of this handsome girl-like swordsman was obviously superior to him. Originally, Carter was a little worried. Yes, but at this time, a good news from the sky surprised him.
And sure enough, as soon as he started to fight, the swordsman became timid.
"You bitch still plan to be a guardian knight? Do you have this ability?"
Yes, the news he got was that the opponent of the duel was actually a woman, and if the guardian knight was a woman, then the plan of the Oran Empire would naturally become a ridiculous futile.
Women and women can't leave offspring, it doesn't mean that they give each other a knight for nothing.
And Swinna, who was warned, could only grit her teeth and face her opponent's ridicule. She had just received a secret letter from the royal attendant. She thought it was a solicitation notice, and was very happy, but she was exposed to her at a glance. identity, and warned himself not to win the championship.
She wants to win, and she is sure to win, but in the Oran Empire against the emperor's will? Can't you die fast enough
So, the result of the last game has been determined before it even started.
On the stand, the "Princess Renee" who was dressed up came back again.
It's still the same face, the same knight's dress, but this time her temperament is slightly different.
If the appearance of crying but no tears just now reminded people of young birds, the current Princess Renee, walking all the way with a smile, with steady steps, her self-confidence and pride, reminded people of eagles patrolling their prey.
"Let everyone wait for a long time."
"No, no." For some reason, the heads of the small countries who had just abandoned the covenant, looked at them with smiling eyes, felt a little guilty for no reason.
In less than five minutes, they were completely different, and even Dasos was a little surprised.
"Ah, that swordsman is actually a woman!"
"Why can women also participate?"
"Victor Carter Tias!"
But at this time, the winner has already been decided below. The hesitant Swinna was hit by a heavy hammer and injured her shoulder, and her hair was tightly bound. At the same time as the identity of a woman was revealed, she naturally lost her continued competition. Opportunity.
Carter, a burly man of more than two meters, raised a heavy hammer and signaled loudly to the stands, like a gorilla who had just been rewarded. Someone below was already criticizing the match between the beast and the girl.
Princess Renee laughed.
"Since it is my guardian knight, then at least he is stronger than me. Can I try it myself?"
"How can you get your Highness's hands dirty? Your Highness is more suitable for embroidery in a warm room, and the rough work of leading troops to fight should be left to men."
Dasos laughed, but his words were very rude, and even more ironic that the other party was only suitable for being a good wife and mother, and even if he always felt that Renee's record was false propaganda, how could he give the opponent a chance to come back at this time? .
"One sword is enough. I just want to see if he is as strong as he looks. If it's just a silver wax gun head, then I won't suffer in the future."
The girl pouted softly and was indescribably cute, but this yellow joke with puns that didn't fit the image in the past suddenly caused an uproar in the scene.
But since Renee has spoken to this point, if she doesn't give in, it will show that the Oran Empire is stingy, so Dasos nodded.
Then, the attendant began to declare loudly:
"Now, our warrior, Knight Carter will usher in a new challenge. The esteemed Princess Renee will personally test the opponent's strength. Phew, in order to prevent our powerful knight from hurting the lovely princess, this test will be conducted by Carter. Take the princess' three swords, and if Knight Carter can block it, a new guardian knight will be born!"
Well, this attendant obviously understood the meaning of the monarch, and said it as if Princess Renee couldn't hold back her face and had to go through the motions. The original one sword turned into three swords seems very open-minded, but at the same time there is no essential difference, In fact, it is arrogance and self-confidence.
And in the end, the "Guardian Knight was born", it was even more direct, and there was no way to retreat.
"Carter is great!"
"Your Highness Renee, please be merciful! Hahaha!"
The arena was full of ridicule and noise. Everyone regarded the "Trial of the Three Swords" as a farce. Even Carter himself smirked and nodded, as if the princess had promised to get married.
But Renee laughed.
"It's a pity, I don't have a weapon, Your Majesty, can I borrow a sword?"
"Of course, as long as you can use it."
Dasos unkindly handed over his saber. This bloody legendary magic weapon was famous for being arrogant and arrogant. He waited to see Renee make a fool of himself.
[Magic Sword: Scarlet Conqueror] As the saber of the emperor of the Oran Empire, it is a dignified legendary soldier. He only submits to the real conqueror, and the weak will not even have the chance to touch him. Become a slave who was drained of blood by the magic sword.
Several unfortunate people have already been sucked blood by the magic sword, and the Oran people who know this sword are waiting to see the little princess joke.
"Thanks to your majesty for your generosity, ah, what a naughty little guy. However, obedient and obedient is a good boy."
But what is unbelievable is that the expected screaming did not happen. In that delicate little hand, the red magic sword suddenly flourished, and the next moment it became introverted, and all the blood was condensed on the sword. Feng, who has entered a state of complete combat, is more obedient than a pet dog that has met its owner.
Dasos, the sword master, is completely unbelievable. I have never seen the devil sword look so submissive. Bloody conquerors only obey ambitious conquerors. Could it be that in the eyes of this sword, this little girl is better than herself? stronger conqueror.
Dasos, who felt that the situation was not good, wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Renee didn't go down the stairs to the ring, but slowly walked to the edge of the stand, looking up at the blue sky.
"How many years? The blood of Lan guards the borders of the human world. The blood and lives of countless clansmen are exchanged for suspicion and hostility."
Renee had stepped on the guardrail with one foot, and there was a commotion around her, and the servants who were worried about her suicide had rushed up, but the real holy light gushed out from behind, and she couldn't get close at all.
"How many times? That bloody wound hasn't healed yet. New vile traitors have added new wounds, and the sacred covenant has been repeatedly torn like waste paper."
The melodious voice echoed in the stands, and as far as those clear pupils could reach, it was just ordinary words but seemed to have magic power. The betrayer was tortured by purgatory-like conscience.
"You, don't you just want to know the secrets of the royal family of Lan? Well, let me tell you, the royal family of Lan contains the power of gods. Divine grace: the incarnation of war angels!"
The holy light gushing from her back turned into substantial wings, and Renee had already jumped out of the stand. She, who was suspended in mid-air, was covered by endless brilliance under the watchful eyes of the public, completing her transformation from a mortal to a war angel.
Different from the new generation of angels who have become angels in modern times, this ancient war angel is the personal creation of the goddess of order, the vanguard of the crusade against the evil god of chaos, and the king of the entire angel group.
The golden wings represent the endless power of order, the burning holy flames represent sanctions and judgment, and the golden holy patterns all over the body are engraved with countless world rules. In the distant ancient times, the opponents of the war angels can only be stronger. of evil gods and demon lords.
The golden wings spread out, and the flame halo on his head was burning. The holy flame actually merged with the blood light of the magic sword. With one wing, the angelic Renee reached the sky above Carter.
"My knight of the guard? Ridiculous mortal, do you know the guilt?"
"I I I..."
Faced with the questioning of the war angel, Carter was shaken.
Under the repeated propaganda of various churches, in the eyes of the world, the image of angels as the messengers of the gods of order has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The world has rarely seen the messengers of the true gods, and as mortals, they actually try to get the favor of angels. Isn't this a crime
Well, he doesn't need "me" anymore, Renee didn't wait for his response at all, and slashed head-on with a bloody flaming epee.
"clang!"
It is unbelievable that Carter actually set up a heavy hammer to block the epee, and the two soldiers intersected with sparks.
"I blocked it, and I actually blocked it... Why don't you cheer for me! I am the victor. With two more swords, I will be able to marry the princess right away."
But right away, he knew why.
He did block the sword's edge, but the holy flame on it had spread along the intersection of the swords, turning him into a flaming torch.
Before he could even let out a scream, it turned into ashes. The newly released guardian knight was killed by the target of his allegiance with a sword, and he died tragically. In an instant, the huge arena became silent and cold.
"Hmph, something over-the-top, toad wants to eat swan meat."
It takes too much energy to maintain the incarnation of the war angel. In just ten seconds, all of Renee's physical strength and power of order have been drained. With the retraction of her wings, Renee has become a mortal again.
"Clap!" What followed was Dasos' applause and wild laughter.
"Hahaha, it's really over your own power. How can a laity like him be your guardian knight?"
Dasos, who approached, suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"Then, Your Highness, the beautiful Princess Renee, I, the emperor of the Oran Empire, Dasos Minn, can be honored to be your guardian knight?"
"What?"
This is undoubtedly equivalent to proposing on the spot, or the emperor in his own country who is said to have no interest in women's sex. In an instant, the voices of discussion and exclamation resounded through the sky.
But I frowned. Well, it's me, not Renee. The real Renee has long been lost to Diana. When I came back from the bathroom, I was doing it myself. The incarnation of the war angel is my racial talent. All developments are still expected, and Dasos' confession must have been unexpected.
"A man's confession to a man is really disgusting."
But at this time, I couldn't help but think about it seriously. The emperor's marriage proposal involves the dignity of the country, and it might even lead to war. If it is not advisable to directly reject or accept it, just follow my way.
"impossible."
"Why! As long as you promise, I am willing to use half of the kingdom as a betrothal gift, and you can become the queen of the Oran Empire. Together, we can get everything in this world. Isn't it much better than starving in the snow on the border? "
Dasos, who was rejected, turned into an angry lion and questioned me extremely angrily.
"Because we were impossible from the beginning, I swear in the name of the Holy Light, I have no interest in men, I only like women."
Well, the arena that was still boiling just now was instantly cooled, and the emperor they had just proposed in public was dumped in a miserable way.
For a cleric like a paladin, the oath made in the name of the source of his own power must be true, otherwise, he would be fooling the true god, and he would be directly stripped of the power bestowed by the gods.
And judging from the vigorous and active holy light on which princess, she really didn't lie, she really likes women.
But I went straight to the last person in the ring, the Svena who lost because of her female identity.
"Thank you for the selection of guardian knights organized by the Oran Empire for me, so I have the opportunity to win this lovely knight. Well, that's her."
I bowed my head, kissed the forehead of the girl who had been frightened, and completed the final ritual of the guardian knight.
"The knight and the princess fell in love at first sight, and a good story was born. It's gratifying, it's gratifying."
Thousands of years later, there is such a record in history, Renee Jean Lan, she is better known by another name - Princess Lily. It is said that as a woman, she has a three-digit lily harem. Svenna Di Nelson, the chief knight and chief concubine of Princess Lily. - The above is purely fictitious, and any similarity is purely coincidental.
