Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 68 Fighting
On Tuesday morning, Claire had breakfast and curled up on the sofa, not wanting to move.

Sharon, who came here to eat and drink for free, went to the kitchen to clean up and wash the dishes.

Jessica picked out a few new clothes and asked her which one looked good on her. Her demeanor returned to her usual gentleness, without any of the fragility she had last night.

Claire helped point the way, and at this moment, the sound of a carriage stopping could be heard outside the house.

Claire leaned forward and looked out the window, and saw a luxurious carriage with the Meazza family crest printed on it parked outside the house.

From her perspective, the car compartment just covered the driver's seat.

"Is it the family carriage?" Claire asked doubtfully.

Jessica smiled and said, "It's Liliana who's here."

Claire was startled and asked in surprise, "Liliana is here?"

Jessica said, "Han Er couldn't be relied upon, so I used the police station to send a telegram to my family, asking them to send Liliana to me. I didn't expect her to arrive so quickly..."

Liliana is Jessica's personal maid. She has been with Jessica since she was a child and the two have a close relationship.

In Claire's impression, Liliana was quite proficient in many skills, including driving a carriage.

"Miss."

Liliana, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, walked into the room. She kept calling Jessica "Miss."

Liliana is tall and toned, with an elegant and powerful gait. She wears round-framed glasses and has two long braids.

The cold bright blue eyes curved into a crescent shape gently the moment they reflected Jessica's figure.

"As long as Liliana is here, I don't care whether you live or die." Jessica hugged Liliana and said to Claire in a huff.

It seems that I am still a little angry...

Fortunately, Jessica's career was at a critical juncture, and she needed to step in to consolidate and expand the business she had finally achieved. Without nagging Claire for long, Jessica changed into a formal dress, got into Liliana's carriage, and hurried away.

"Claire, it seems like there's nothing else for me to do. I'm going home to take a nap." Sharon yawned, looking like she hadn't gotten enough sleep, and was about to leave.

Claire stopped him and said, "The Night Watchmen have a lot of duty. You need to stock up on some necessities in the lounge and office. Someone reminded me yesterday to take good care of myself..."

Sharon made a bitter face, "Isn't it possible in the afternoon?"

"Not very good."

He asked Haner to prepare the carriage, and first moved some things from Sharon's room, and then spent some time buying some things from the market outside, and also bought some fresh fruits and cooked food.

When they arrived at the Blackthorn Security Company, Roshan, who was wearing a light green dress, greeted Claire and said, "Claire, Sharon, Mr. Haner. Are you moving?"

Sharon responded: "No, just some necessities."

Luo Shan came up to help, and Claire handed her a bag of muffins, "Luo Shan, Sharon brought these for you."

Luo Shan held the muffin with a smile, placed it on the table, and then helped Claire and the others get their things.

Claire said, "Move it to the office first, and let Sharon pack the rest herself."

After moving the things, Claire confirmed with Roxanne, "The captain said the dinner is scheduled for tonight?"

Luo Shan looked expectant and said, "Yes, tonight at six o'clock, at Old Vail Restaurant."

"Who's on duty then?" Claire asked.

Well-informed Roshan replied, "Frye took the initiative to ask the captain to stay."

"Fry..."

Claire muttered, then looked at Sharon: "It's still early, I'll go look up some information, what about you?"

Sharon held her forehead and said pitifully, "I'll go pack my things first, and I'll come find you after I'm done."

Claire sighed, "Forget it, I'll help you clean up." Sharon smiled brightly, "Thank you very much."

After packing up her things, Claire went to Chanis Gate to borrow more books on fighting styles and moved them to the office to read.

Sharon was sitting across from her, also curiously looking at the books she had brought. "Are you learning martial arts?"

"Yeah." Claire responded softly.

"You can't just learn fighting from books, right?"

"Learn more about the martial arts schools, and then I'll go to the fighting club to find some opponents."

"Fight club? Is that fun?"

"I'll take you there when I have time."

Claire flipped through the pages with a calm expression, and Sharon tactfully shut her mouth.

Claire was easily lost in books. She loved the satisfaction of memorizing knowledge effortlessly.

What Claire didn't expect was that Sharon could be so patient and read the history books she had placed in the office for a long time.

No wonder Sharon has such rich and comprehensive knowledge of history and archaeology. It seems that she really likes history.

When Claire went to pick up her custom lunch at noon, she ran into Leonard, who chatted with her about Dunn hiring a fighting expert as a teacher for Klein.

"Fighting teacher?" Claire, who was learning fighting, became interested.

A fighter chosen by the Nighthawks must be a master, right?
"Who is it?" Claire asked curiously.

Leonard said, "Mr. Gawain, who once belonged to the Knights of Ahowa."

"The Knights of Ahowa..." Claire, who was well-versed in history, was no stranger to this name. It was one of the protagonists of the tragic story of knights in modern history.

It is also a scar on the hearts of the people of Loen, especially those of Ahowa County.

More than 20 years ago, the Knights, who had made great achievements in battle, encountered the army of the Intis Republic, which was equipped with the most advanced weapons. They fell under the enemy's guns in an organized manner, suffering countless casualties.

That is the sad song of the end of an era.

But the tragedy cannot erase the former glory of these knights. They are the elite knights of the kingdoms.

Claire was very interested in this knight.

Claire knocked on Dunn's office door and said, "Captain, can I go to Mr. Gawain to learn martial arts?"

Dunn looked at Claire and agreed without hesitation, "You're studying for self-discipline, so your schedule is always very full, so I haven't made any plans for you. If you also want to study with Mr. Gao Wen, I'll have the police department make the arrangements."

"Excuse me, Captain."

After Claire had lunch, Dunn made arrangements to allow Claire to join Gawain's fighting class.

After dinner, Leonard drove the carriage and brought Claire, Klein, and Sharon, who had just joined in the fun, to the outskirts of the North District.

Mr. Gao Wen lives in a two-story house that has been in disrepair for a long time.

Klein, wearing a trainee inspector's uniform, looked at Leonard in surprise. "My fighting teacher lives here?"

Leonard chuckled softly, "Don't underestimate Mr. Gawain because of his living environment. Although he ultimately failed to obtain a title, he was once a true knight."

Leonard reached out and pushed open the half-closed iron gate, leading Claire and the other two towards the house.

From a distance, you can see a tall man standing at the door of the house.

The man had short blond hair with some white at the temples. Seeing Leonard and the others, his dim green eyes glanced at Claire, who was wearing an inspector's uniform, and Klein, who was wearing a trainee inspector's uniform.

"Are they the students this time?"
