This knight is too perfect

Chapter 36 The Truth
Before dawn, at the gate of the Baron's castle.

"Rhine, are you ready?"

Fergus stood at the gate of the castle, looking at Rhine who was already fully armed, and asked again.

Rhine nodded, indicating that he was ready to leave at any time.

After receiving Rhine's reply, Fergus immediately looked at the carriage next to him.

In the carriage, Jet, the butler, had been sitting in the driver's seat for a long time.

Inside the luxurious carriage, Lilitha lit a dim red candle and calmly looked at the book in her hands.

In response to Fergus' silent question, Jet smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sir Fergus. They are just a group of wild dogs devoured by desire. They can't hurt me and the young lady."

"Besides, even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to attack Miss Lilitha, the Princess of Akkad, at this time, unless they were ready to accept the wrath of all the nobles of Akkad and the knights of the Principality of Morton."

Jet's simple words made Fergus fall into deep thought.

Because he had thought that Lilith's identity was not simple.

But I didn't expect it to be so complicated.

She is just an Akkadian princess. Why would she come to such a remote Territory of Thorns?

Maybe he thought Fergus was a nice person, or maybe he thought since things had come to this point, there was no harm in saying a little more.

So Jet simply told them the real reason why they came to the Thorn Territory.

"Mr. Fergus, although I cannot reveal too many secrets to you, I can tell you in advance some information that you will know soon."

"And the information is that Duke Rock suddenly fell into a coma during a royal meeting three months ago."

"If you want to know this information, you should be able to understand everything that is happening in the Thorn Territory and why the young lady and I are here."

Jet's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, immediately causing a thousand waves in Fergus' heart.

You have to know that the current Principality of Morton is almost entirely supported by Grand Duke Panshi alone.

This is not only because Grand Duke Rock is the founder of the Principality of Morton and possesses almost absolute prestige and power.

This is also because Grand Duke Rock is the only Amber-level Extraordinary in the Principality of Morton.

It is a well-deserved "pillar-level" existence.

You should know that for pillar-level amber-grade extraordinary people, their lifespan is usually between two hundred and two hundred and fifty.

The Principality of Morton was founded just over a hundred years ago, and Grand Duke Rock is only 160 years old.

For a pillar-level Amber-rank Extraordinary, this is the prime of life.

Don't say anything about suddenly fainting.

Even seven or eight times a night, it would not be a problem for the Grand Duke of Rock who was only 160 years old.

But such a pillar-level extraordinary person who should have been extremely healthy and energetic suddenly fainted in front of everyone.

This is no less than dropping a blockbuster bomb for the entire Principality of Morton and many surrounding countries.

Someone inside wants to take this opportunity to replace the current Grand Duke Panshi.

Some outsiders want to take this opportunity to completely disrupt the relatively stable Principality of Morton.

It can be said that the sudden fainting of Grand Duke Rock was equivalent to causing the originally relatively stable and harmonious situation in the Principality of Morton to move rapidly in an unknown and uncontrollable direction.

But what does this have to do with Akkadian princesses like Jet and Lilith?

Or in other words, why did they come to the Principality of Morton, which already had bad relations with Akkad, at such a sensitive time?
Fergus couldn't figure it out, or rather, he was limited by his own vision, which made him unable to speculate on things beyond his current knowledge.

This is the limitation of the times.

But among the people present, there was one person who had knowledge that went beyond this limitation.

And this person is none other than Rhine who came from another time.

Although Rhine also didn't know much about the Kingdom of Akkad and the Principality of Morton.

But after he learned the existing information, some similar historical fragments from his previous life subconsciously emerged in his mind.

After comparing these historical fragments with the existing information, Rhine quickly came up with an answer that Fergus could never have imagined.

"Sir Jeter, you mean that someone wants to deliberately intensify the century-long conflict between the Kingdom of Akkad and the Principality of Morton at this critical moment, so as to ease the problems that may erupt within the Principality of Morton."

"If it's more extreme, as long as something really happens to Grand Duke Rock, then no matter whether this matter is related to you or not, someone will eventually pin it on the Kingdom of Akkad, and use this as a fuse to start a war between the two countries."

"And the arrival of you and Miss Lilisha is an attempt to prevent this possibility from happening."

"For example, while showing goodwill to the Morton royal family, you are trying your best to find evidence that Akkad has nothing to do with this matter, right?" "From this, we can also deduce another important message, that is, the Thorn Territory or Lord Baron Angelo may have played an important role in this that I am not aware of, so important that you even came here in person to negotiate with Lord Baron."

"Similarly, it is precisely because of the Baron's importance that some people do not want him to have contact with you."

"As for the Baron himself, he may be a considerable obstacle to them, so he must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"You and Miss Lilith knew this, so you rushed to the castle as soon as possible and prepared to inform the Baron."

As soon as Rhine said this, the whole place fell silent.

Even Lilitha in the carriage subconsciously put down the book in her hand and looked at Rhine with an unprecedented serious expression.

Just because what Rhine said was absolutely right, that was why she and Jet came here.

In fact, if these words were spoken by a noble from Morton or Akkad, she would not be too shocked.

But all this came from the mouth of a young slave who had just turned thirteen years old.

This shocked Lilysa greatly.

You have to know that the former means that you can receive a lot of information that ordinary people cannot receive, so it is not surprising to draw this conclusion.

But the latter means that he cannot even know a lot of information that normal people can know.

And to derive such an accurate answer in such an almost completely closed situation.

This requires Rhine to have sufficiently amazing wisdom.

And when this wisdom appears in a young man with noble character and extraordinary talents.

This means that his future is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

You know, even the Grand Duke of Rock, who founded the Principality of Morton, was only considered by many to have "outstanding talent" and "noble character".

The Principality of Morton had already caused the Kingdom of Akkad to pay such a heavy price just for the emergence of the Grand Duke of Rock.

If another being appears who is stronger than the Lord of Rock, then...

Thinking of this, Lilitha's eyes turned dangerous as she looked towards Rhine.

Fortunately, her look only flashed by.

Because when Lilitha looked at Rhine's now young face, a better idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

That is, why couldn't she allow this knight who had the potential to surpass the Duke of the Rock to appear in Akkad?

After all, given his current situation in the Principality of Morton, this possibility is not only entirely possible, but also very high.

Thinking of this, Lilitha simply told Rhine some more important information.

"You guessed it right, Mr. Rhine. Baron Angelo and the group of old knights he represents are important partners that we must win over."

"Because only they have enough prestige and ability to help us put out the war between our two countries that is getting closer and closer."

"But there is one thing you may not have thought of just now, or you may have thought of it but deliberately did not say it."

"That is, we in Arcade may not be innocent in this incident."

"After all, there are always some people whose ambitions are so great that they dare to try to devour even Silver Moon."

"But I and the people behind me don't want to see this happen."

Having said that, Lilitha turned her head and looked towards the horizon.

At this moment, a faint dawn light appeared on the skyline outside the castle.

"Okay, Mr. Rhine, let's put the discussion between the two countries aside for now."

"After all, it's time for you and us to set off."

After saying this, Lilitha closed the windows of the carriage and drew the curtains.

Jet, who was outside the carriage, drove the carriage directly out of the castle.

Just as Lilitha's carriage disappeared into the woods in the distance, Rhine also jumped on the horse.

"Rhine, be safe."

Rhine nodded to Fergus, and then rode off according to the plan, taking a completely different route from Lilisha and her servant...
