Chapter 109 Chapter 27 Knights of Rubiel
“That vampire, although her talent is quite good, at best she can only compare to that idiot Ice Dragon half a month ago. How could she possibly deal with this young lady?”
The girl’s voice paused, and she puffed out her cheeks, her big eyes glaring forcefully at Igott, who was walking closer to her. She pointed with her slender, jade-white fingers and asked accusingly.
“Moreover, if it weren’t for you, Igott, you idiot, causing my strength to not have recovered yet, how could I have been made to look like this by this little Bloodfiend!”
Igott, who had suffered an undeserved disaster, really wanted to smile bitterly and spread his hands, but his survival instinct forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart, and he showed the young girl a remorseful expression.
Fortunately, the young lady did not dwell on the matter. Verafia looked again at the damaged street around them, which had appeared due to the aftermath of their battle, and her expression turned bitter.
“However, Igott, you said that since that vampire has already run away… are all these matters here only our responsibility?”
“Young Lady, you are the victim of the vampire’s attack. As long as the local lord’s head hasn’t been dried out by a Blood Bat, there’s no way they would blame you.”
Igott said. He then looked at the young lady’s delicate and jade-like face, and her pouting, youthful lips. After hesitating for a moment.
“However… just now, you intentionally let her leave, didn’t you?”
“Eh…”
Igott saw the young lady suddenly lift her face, and her exquisite and magnificent big eyes, which seemed to flow with precious golden flame, paused before she spoke again.
“Moreover, from what I could see, after the vampire made her final attack and got up to flee, you also released a flame spell, but you, Young Lady, did not increase your demonic power to the proper level… This was clearly not intended to kill her.”
“I think you were probably also trying to burn away the scent of her blood with the flames, so that she could escape pursuit?”
“Tsk, tsk… you found out, Igott.”
Verafia stuck out her tongue and fiddled with her slightly messy, slender hair with some embarrassment.
“After all, that vampire isn’t a bad person, and she also held back a lot. In the final attack, that vampire even risked getting injured herself, but she didn’t completely swing that sword down. Otherwise, this young lady wouldn’t have won so easily. And…”
Verafia did not finish her sentence. She suddenly raised her bright golden eyes, patted the young man’s shoulder, and her silver-bell-like lively laughter was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
“Igott, let’s go! Hmm… with such a big commotion just now, I estimate that the Temple Knights here will come looking for us soon. Igott, don’t let anything slip when they do, or it will be troublesome again.”
“This Little Phoenix, could it be that the vampire just now also had something special about her? And that Blood Crystal and stone, given how much she valued Duke Oran, why didn’t she show any signs of it whatsoever…”
Igott thought, and quickly looked up in response, following the young lady’s slender figure.
—
The knights of Rubiel City were incredibly swift. However, to the young lady’s slight surprise, what appeared before her eyes were not Church Knights directly engaged in battle with Holy Light heretics, but rather military knights equipped with armor and family crests, clearly representing the military strength of Rubiel City.
“Eh, who are these people…”
Verafia tilted her small face up slightly, asking the question. Even from a distance, the solemn heavy armor and the thudding of horses’ hooves on the ground were extremely eye-catching.
“Young Lady, these are knights that nobles from Rubiel City have contributed to the military. Of course, in addition to being responsible for city security, they also need to be loyal to their liege… Let me see, with a black and white patterned background and a crown wolf head, they should be knights under Count Lindon Belt.”
“Count Lindon Belt?”
Verafia’s voice still carried a hint of confusion, but Igott didn’t have time to answer her. The sound of giant warhorses was already approaching, and a group of fully armored knights dismounted.
The last knight to dismount was much sturdier than his colleagues, with a sword at his waist, a broad back and robust shoulders, and a tall body like bedrock, his muscles almost bursting out of his armor. Moreover, judging by his equipment, his status was clearly not ordinary, and he had come as the commander of these knights.
The Commander Knight’s gaze swept over the two people present. His gaze only lingered on Igott for a moment before falling on Verafia, who was behind the young man.
Verafia felt surprise in the knight’s eyes under his helmet. Her gaze immediately became greedy, like a thick slime, both sticky and disgusting, sliding from her cheeks down to her pure white boots in exquisite white long socks worn under her fiery red dress.
For some reason, the young lady felt a surge of anger, and her fair, youthful, small face flushed red. What made her feel even more embarrassed was that this emotion was not feigned, but arose naturally!
Verafia simply gripped her staff and took a step forward, her small face clearly showing displeasure. After all, with Verafia’s persona, she would absolutely never tolerate such an insult.
“Young Lady, please calm down! These are the Knights of Rubiel!”
Igott grabbed her wrist. Although he did not know the exact situation, just based on the knight’s gaze and the young lady’s angry appearance, he could already guess most of it.
This suicidal knight…
Igott gritted his teeth. Although he did not want to get his young lady involved with the local lord, the young lady’s current appearance clearly indicated that she would not let this matter rest.
As expected, Young Lady Verafia vented all the anger in her heart onto the young man blocking her way, raising her small face and shouting.
“Igott, you guy, why are you stopping me! This knight you’re talking about is humiliating this young lady!”
Before Verafia’s words had completely fallen, the Commander Knight drew the sword at his waist, lifted his face from under his helmet, and roared.
“Girl, you are slandering a knight who protects the kingdom’s safety! According to the law, I can arrest you and throw you in prison!”
The knight’s gruff voice was fierce, and the drawn sword light was dazzling, reflecting on the young lady’s porcelain-white, exquisite small face.
“Wuwu…”
The girl seemed to be frightened by his appearance. Her slender jade arms trembled, and her delicate body involuntarily retreated. Tears seemed to well up in her slightly trembling big eyes.
The Commander Knight sneered under his helmet, and then a look of contempt arose.
He had always disdained these delicate flowers who grew up in pampered luxury. They were pampered and spoiled yet could not withstand the slightest bit of hardship. A little intimidation was enough to crush their noble and proud pride.
As for this little bud before him, she was clearly not a local of Rubiel, and even if she were a foreign noble that he couldn’t afford to offend…
In just a few days. He was already thinking about how to enjoy this beautiful flower.
