Dragon and knight Ji gl

Leif looked at Listinger.The latter has blond hair, green eyes, and a slightly darker pupil color than Sophie's, and is very gentle when looking at people.Her body was slender and slim, and she looked a little weak because of her illness, as if she could be broken by the wind.

Leif suddenly remembered the rumors circulating in the capital about the side effects of black witchcraft. According to the rumors, the so-called heartache of the "Queen" was the result of black witchcraft.

But looking at the appearance of Listinger and Sophie now, it is obviously not because of the men betraying each other in the bloody rumors.She had heard the name of Listinger from the mouth of the "Queen", and in the king's last words played by the Prophet's tree flute, Listinger was also the woman entrusted by the king to assist Sophie—she The fact that she and Princess Sophie are excellent friends has been confirmed by various evidences, and they are so close at this moment, it should not be false.

But what about black witchcraft?And who is that legendary witch?

Leif's speculation got stuck at this point.

When Sophie turned her head, she saw the astonished face of the brown-haired shepherdess, and stood up abruptly.Listing couldn't hold back, and pulled her delicate scalp all at once, so Sophie wrinkled her small face and covered her head, inhaled "hissing" in her mouth, and looked at Leif, with a look of surprise and anger: "Why are you here?" His face was blue and red, and he subconsciously grabbed Listinger and looked around, as if he wanted to hide her somewhere.

Listinger smiled and whispered something next to Sophie's ear, because the words were so soft that Leff could only hear a few vague words, which seemed to be: "Miss Knight is trustworthy... I think she has I guessed it..."

Then Listinger put her hands on Sophie's shoulders, and said to the little princess who was obviously resisting: "Okay Sophie, you have been out for so long, you should go back to the palace earlier." The mild tone had a sternness that crossed paths between friend and guardian.

Sophie gave Leif a suspicious look.

Leff thought that Lily's sheep would look at her with this kind of eyes when they were smashed and ate dry food on the way-but at this moment, the shepherdess could no longer hold the sheep's ears to teach her a lesson, so she had to straighten her body with a serious expression on her face. More respectful and solemn.

Sophie looked at Leif for a while, and then strode away.

"Miss Knight, don't blame her." Listinger looked at the direction Sophie left for a long time, and then slowly turned to Leif, with a warm light in her dark green eyes, "This child is just too much. Just shy."

She pointed to a dark wicker armchair opposite, motioning for Leif to sit down.He took the glass teacup from the handmaid, poured some into the teacup in front of Leif, and then said slowly: "Miss Knight must be full of doubts about what happened. Actually, we don't intend to involve you came in..."

Listinger said that the old king gave Sophie to her care before his death.But the situation in the Kingdom of Aesia at that time was already very unstable.Because the old king was old and childless, the offshoots of the royal family already had the heart to become the master.The nobles also have their own masters.Unwilling to obey the young princess.Even in order to eradicate the scourge, he murdered Sophie.

"...that child is innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs. If placed in the chaotic situation at the beginning, he would be swallowed by snakes and scorpions soon. So the previous king invited Lord Natia Vida..." Seeing Leif blinked a few times suspiciously, and then Listinger covered her mouth in self-consciousness, and her green eyes flickered.

"——Oh, look at you. Don't you know?——But Lady Natia Vida is so familiar with you, she even told me that she wants to move to your side, so that we can catch up... I really didn't expect..."

Reminisce?Leff thought that the time at the gate of the city was just the first time they met, but she didn't expect that in Natia Vida's speech to the outside world, they already have old things to talk about.

Leif touched her nose: "Oh, yes...she hasn't told me yet."

"No wonder, I think it's for fear of being exposed as a princess." Listinger picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled understandingly, "Master Natia Vida is as careful as dust, in the future I turned into Sophie, and she said she would give Sophie to an old friend—I didn’t expect that she would turn Sophie into a lamb, and I expected that others would never think of it—in Before the situation stabilizes, her identity will never be revealed."

friend?

Leif's fingers dug at the armrest.She thought of the first time she saw Lily, the short-tempered lamb was so thin that only a skeleton remained, and his body was covered with whip marks from being whipped for disobedience, and the sparse and bloody wool was mixed with blood. The black ash in the livestock market seems to be half-breathed... If it hadn't been for the kick it kicked that made Leff make up his mind to buy this cheap and tough lamb hoof, I am afraid that Lily would have no luck in the sheep market. People have been eating rotten grass and rotten leaves until now-provided it can survive.

If that sheep dealer can also be regarded as Natia Vida's old friend, the cover-up of this identity is too tragic.

Leif reached for the teacup.

Listinger said: "Lord Natia Vida also said that when the time comes, her old friend, a brave girl, will return to Jino City with the princess as a knight."

"Pfft——" Laif choked suddenly, and the tea squirted out, dripping and dripping wet her skirt.

"After I married Noren, he quickly set about cleaning up the offspring of the royal family. After that, I took the opportunity to collect evidence of his liaison with foreign countries..." Listinger looked worriedly at the frightened shepherdess, "—— Knight Miss, are you all right?"

Listinger kept Leff enthusiastically for a long time, but the more Leff heard, the deeper her doubts became.When she was about to leave after having lunch and afternoon tea, Leif suddenly remembered that the purpose of her trip was to ask for money.

It stands to reason that she has completed the A-level task.But the task setters - the former king and queen - have lost their original status.

And now Princess Sophie...

Although Leif has been with her for a long time, but now she feels more and more confused about this little princess.She also didn't expect to get the knight's ribbon in Jino City.Touching his empty bag, Leff sighed.Maybe, maybe because she fed so many turnips before...

Looking up, she saw Sophie standing at the door. She didn't know whether she stayed here from the time when Listinger invited her back to the palace until now, or if she left and came back.

Leff knew that his expression must be ugly at the moment, and he was about to smile, the corner of his mouth was just halfway.

"Why are you still here?" Sophie glared at her, then lifted her skirt and rushed towards Listinger inside the door.

Listinger had come to see Leff out, but now she lowered her head to catch Sophie.Sophie leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

At the gate of the house in the deep alley, Leff stood with his head down in the afternoon wind. It was clearly late spring and near summer, and the sun was setting down generously, but looking at Sophie and Listinger's intimacy However, Leff still felt a bit of coolness—she felt like a petty citizen who was kicked out after bankruptcy. She came out to beg for food in the long and extremely cold winter nights, but happened to bump into someone holding the last stove that once belonged to her to keep warm.

Leff stretched out his hand, then slowly put it down, and walked slowly along the winding path.

"Miss Knight!" Listinger called out to her.

Leif turned her head and saw Sophie leaning against Listinger and not speaking, her eyes looked away uncomfortably.

Listinger winked at her mischievously: "Your knighthood ceremony will be in three days, don't forget to attend."

The brown-haired shepherdess froze in place for a moment, and her desolate expression, which had not been put away, was suddenly stuck in the process of transitioning to surprise.The expression was so distorted that it seemed like she was going to cry, Leff sucked in her cold nose, and let out an "ah" in disbelief.

The maid came over from the four-wheeled carriage and said to Leif: "Princess and Lord Natia Vida have stayed at the Kino Racecourse for several hours just to pick out a horse for you—a horse from the Kino Racecourse. , but the entire continent of Deya is famous. Just like that, the princess was still not at ease, and personally tried to ride hundreds of horses for you, saying that Miss Knight’s horse must be the best, because Miss Knight, you are the best..."

"Dora!" Sophie called angrily, seeing Leif's appearance, she simply buried her head in Listinger's arms.

Listinger stroked Sophie's head.

The maid named Dora went on to say: "I came to Lord Listinger today to discuss the matter of the title ceremony. I wanted to give you a surprise..."

"Sophie..." Leff breathed a little, looking at the little princess's reddish cheeks, she thought for a long time, not knowing how to express her feelings at this moment.A sentence popped out, "Your Highness, it is my honor to be loyal to you, not to mention that you have given me a commanding name and a horse, and I will definitely be devastated..."

"You have so many quotations from knights," the little princess muffled angrily, "keep them for three days and then memorize them."

It wasn't until the princess returned to the palace that the maid took out a purse and said to Leif, "This is from Lord Natia Vida."

Leff took the bulging money bag, and unexpectedly found that it was very light. There were only one gold gesha, one silver gesha, three copper geshas, ​​and one iron gesha wrapped in layers of silk cloth.Lev did the math and found that these geza coins, together with the money she had left, were just enough to cover her rent, food, water, and other miscellaneous expenses—not even a tegeza.

Although he was very grateful to the female envoy for her timely help, Leif suddenly felt a very subtle feeling in his heart.

The quasi-knight opened the innermost layer of silk cloth and found that there were words on it——

To the lovely lady knight:

There is a saying in our family that property can only be handed over to the spouse.If lending, the monthly profit is five cents.

I hope Miss Knight returns as soon as possible, or try to change her status.
