After Regnar finished speaking, he ignored the strange looks from others and left the ward without looking back. Alexander stared at the door blankly, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Hmph! I, Vera, don't think highly of people who do such things!" Vera also said a word and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, they don't mean any harm..." Kordak said with a headache: "They..."
"Mr. Kordak, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything." Alexander shook his head, he forced a smile and said: "Actually, this is not the first time this has happened, and I also know that this approach may cause Your incomprehension and dissatisfaction. Mr. Regnar and Miss Vera would accuse me like this precisely because they regard me as a companion. To be honest, actually, having someone scold me like this makes me feel better. "
"As long as you understand." Kordak smiled, then he turned his head and found that Lisanna had fallen asleep again. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "So what are you going to do about Miss Lisanna's punishment..."
"..." Alexander remained silent.
"Okay, I understand, I'll take my leave first." Kordak nodded, then turned and left.
At this time, only Irene and Alexander were left in the ward. The second prince turned around and found that the half-elf girl was looking at him silently.
"Miss Irene, do you also want to accuse me? After all, she is your patient." Alexander said with a bit of self-mockery.
"Brother Regnar has already said it for me." Irene's tone was a little colder than before.
"So...what else can you do?" Alexander asked.
"This is what I should ask His Highness the Prince." Irene choked for the first time, and the second prince of the Hawke Empire choked for the first time: "This is the ward, what else do you have to do? If you If there’s nothing else, please go out!”
"..." Alexander's facial muscles stiffened for a moment, and then he said with a wry smile: "I almost forgot... I'm sorry... I'll leave right now..."
Alexander gave Eileen a noble salute, then turned around and left lightly. Even though he was scolded by a bunch of people, the second prince of the empire still seemed to maintain a very gentle temper, and even the action of closing the door was very light.
"Okay, everyone has left, no need to pretend to be asleep anymore." Irene said softly while cleaning up the ward that was messy due to the arrival of the crowd.
"Erin, how did you know I was pretending to sleep?" Lisanna slowly opened her eyes and asked curiously.
"You are my patient." Eileen smiled: "If I can't even figure out your physical condition, wouldn't I be too unqualified as a doctor?"
"That's right!" Lisanna also smiled.
"Are you really going to do this?" Erin asked suddenly.
"If the leader wants me to do that, I won't have any objection, and that's how it should be." Lisanna said matter-of-factly: "But I am still very grateful to Mr. Regner and the others for what they have done. If you have the chance, I hope you can tell them."
"I will!" Eileen answered seriously, and then she said: "I am not only a doctor, but also a priest. So I also know a lot of magic that can relieve pain and resist harm. Do you need my help that day?"
"Can it be done so that ordinary people can't see it?" Lisanna asked.
"Well... If Sister Anne were here, I think she could complete this request, but I can't do it myself." Irene shook her head.
"Then forget it, otherwise it will be meaningless." Lisanna calmly accepted the result.
"Okay." Irene was not surprised by Lisanna's answer. She didn't even try to dissuade her, she just started tidying up the room silently.
Lisanna looked at Erin's busy figure and couldn't help but smile. She found that what Regner said was correct. This Erin and herself do have many similarities. If they hadn't met in such a place full of war and killing, they might have become very good friends.
…
In the next few days, Regner and others have been idle. Because the last mission almost went wrong, Tamro felt that he was in the wrong, so he rarely bothered them again.
Naturally, Regnar and the others enjoyed their leisure time. When they were tired these days, they would sleep in their rooms and rest. If they felt too energetic, they would go to the edges of some battlefields in the south to have a little fun.
Alexander, on the other hand, took his Golden Eagle Knights, who were already in full force, to do another great job. It is said that they played a crucial role in resisting a probing attack by the Stoke people. As for what the truth is, Regner can't guarantee it. Because he remembered that those days were peaceful. He ate and slept in his room, living like a pig, and did not feel the danger of the Stoker invasion at all.
In this way, the days passed by unconsciously for more than half a month. At this time, Lisanna was also recovering from her injuries under Erin's careful care. But everyone knew that this recovery was just the beginning of another painful episode.
Naturally, there is no need to describe the process of the trial and the announcement of the punishment. Although many people within the Golden Eagle Knights dissuaded him, Alexander repeatedly stated that discipline is an absolutely insurmountable line of fire for soldiers. No matter how many secrets and difficulties there are, disobedience is disobedience, so Lisanna must be punished.
It is worth mentioning that Alexander himself did not just talk the talk. He said that it was due to the command error in the previous attack on Pato Town, and that Lisanna violated military regulations because of herself. So Alexander decided that he and Lisanna would be punished together, that is, Lisanna would receive a few sticks, and Alexander would also receive a few sticks.
His words naturally aroused stronger opposition from the Knights, but Alexander insisted on doing so, and even Tamro's persuasion was of no avail. Therefore, the final result became that both Lisanna and Alexander were punished at the same time. Twenty military sticks per person.
"Be gentle when you hit Lisanna, it doesn't matter if you hit me harder." Alexander said half-jokingly: "Don't forget, your leader is a light splitter. If I am still alive and kicking tomorrow, then you executioners But you’re going to get twenty sticks with me again!”
"Hahahaha!" Several rough guys from the Knights grinned because of Alexander's humor.
"Okay, let's execute!" Alexander said. He turned to look at the silent Lisanna, and then silently mouthed: "I'm sorry..."
The military stick, which was as thick as Kordak's arm, fell, but surprisingly the executioner did not feel the blow on his arm. They lowered their heads curiously, only to find that the military stick in their hands had been broken into two pieces at some point!
At this time, an old man with silver hair and a silver beard was standing on the roof of the military camp dormitory. He was wearing a gorgeous dark blue noble robe and seemed to be a famous nobleman.
"Hey, boy from the Kevin family, I didn't expect you to have grown so tall and strong after not seeing each other for a few years!" It wasn't until the old man spoke that the people from the Golden Eagle Knights noticed him.
"Protect His Highness the Prince!" Just suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The old man was able to get so close to him silently without sneaking, and even Alexander was completely unaware of it. How terrifying is his strength? If it were an assassin...
"Just, don't be presumptuous!" Alexander immediately yelled after hearing the voice: "He is the sword soul of my Hawke Empire, Mr. Malloryt, the Sword Master of the Wind!"
"Malolit?!" Lisanna was stunned when she heard the name.
"Kevin is great. He bullied me and didn't say anything (Kevin would definitely scold me if he heard this...), but his apprentice also came to bully my apprentice? Huh?" Malloryt jumped from the roof. When he came down, his expression was not very good. Normally, he would still treat the royal family with elegance and respect.
But anyone who is familiar with Gale Sword Master knows that the old guy has one characteristic. That is to protect one's shortcomings, to protect one's shortcomings to the extreme! Basically, as long as the junior he recognizes is bullied even a little bit, the old guy will keep tossing him for seven days and eight nights.
The most representative ones are Annelotte and Joffrey. Alexander's brother was once punished more than once by the Swift Wind Sword Master for pestering Annelotte. So much so that now, when Joffrey sees Malolite, he is like seeing a mouse on a cat...
Although Lisanna's status in Malolite's heart is not as high as that of Annelotte, the girl can still be regarded as half of her descendant. Seeing his disciple being beaten for no reason here, Malolite couldn't sit still no matter what. What's more, the person who bullied his apprentice was Kevin's disciple? Then he felt even more unhappy!
"Mr. Malloryt, why are you here?" Alexander quickly saluted Malloryt respectfully.
"Just looking for an old friend." Malolite said angrily: "Because I heard that Your Highness the Prince is also in Costa Fortress, I came to visit you first. But who would have thought that I would encounter this person as soon as I entered the military camp? What kind of thing? Hey, I guess I was in time."
"Disciple?" Alexander was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
"Ah, that's her." Malloryt pointed at Lisanna, who still had her back turned to him: "Girl, if you see the teacher, why don't you meet her once a week? How about giving her some face?"
"Teacher..." Lisanna turned around mechanically, and then this girl, who was stronger than men in the eyes of the members of the Golden Eagle Knights, suddenly shed tears of her own.
Although they only got along for seven days, Lisanna knew. It is precisely because of these seven days that Malolite can continue to live in this world, she can keep the beautiful memories of her mother and family, continue to fight, and take revenge on those who took everything from her. This old man had a huge impact on his life!
More importantly, his appearance also brought back Lisanna's memories of the long-lost past. From the moment she saw him, Lisanna was no longer the swordswoman who wielded her sword accurately and without mercy on the battlefield. She turned back into the innocent little girl who loved to cuddle up in her parents' arms and act coquettishly at them. girl.
So, she cried.
