Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 41 Sorry

Robin suppressed his inner grief and anger and quickly bent down to check Lily's physical condition.

His hands gently touched Lily's limbs, each movement was cautious, yet full of eagerness.

As the inspection progressed, his expression became more and more serious, and his heart sank little by little.

Lily's body suffered from multiple comminuted fractures, and the broken bones seemed to be ruthlessly crushing Robin's last hope.

In this world with relatively backward medical conditions, even if Lily could barely save her life, she would never be able to run and fight freely like before, and would only become a disabled person who could not even do heavy work.

Realizing this cruel reality, Robin seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat on the ground in despair, his eyes empty and his mind blank.

"Robin! Eric!" Lily's weak voice suddenly sounded, as if she had used up all her strength.

"We are here!" Eric heard the shout and crawled to Lily's side, holding her hand tightly, as if this could save her dying life.

"Let's just leave it at that. Don't get hurt because of me." Lily said this with a weak breath, and then she started coughing violently. Every cough seemed to have exhausted her last bit of life force.

Then, her eyes widened and she stared at the roof, her gaze gradually losing focus and becoming motionless.

"Lily!" Eric let out a heart-wrenching scream, his voice full of grief and despair.

He shook Lily's body frantically, as if this could snatch her back from the hands of death.

Robin was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on Lily's lifeless face, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The anger in his heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning him completely.

He secretly vowed to make those who hurt Lily pay a heavy price.

When Knight Malizzi arrived, he saw Robin slumped on the ground in a daze, with Eric holding her and crying.

Thomson clenched his fists tightly, as if he was making some important decision.

"Robin..." Knight Malizzi walked forward slowly, his steps heavy and slow, as if every step carried endless sorrow and helplessness.

Then he stretched out his broad yet slightly trembling arms and hugged Robin and Eric tightly.

His body trembled slightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his face full of wrinkles, dripping onto Robin and Eric's shoulders, revealing an indescribable sadness.

Robin, who was being hugged, had been immersed in extreme sorrow and anger, but now there were some ripples in his heart.

He felt the deep love and self-blame of Knight Malizzi, slowly reached out his hand, and gently patted Knight Malizzi's back.

Knight Malizzi seemed startled by this action and stared at Robin blankly, not coming back to his senses for several seconds.

He really didn't expect that at such a sad moment, Robin still had the mind to comfort himself.

Since discovering Robin, a talented unpolished gem, and considering his relationship with Thompson, Knight Malizzi has always treated Robin, Eric, Lily and Thompson as his own children and nephews, taking good care of them.

So after learning that Lily and Eric were beaten, he rushed over to argue with them in a rage.

However, the other party is the son of Lord Valentine, whose status is too noble, and the forces involved behind him are complicated.

In this vortex of power, although he is the Knight Commander, he feels powerless.

"I'm useless and can't protect you, but that's all I can do, Robin..." Knight Malizzi's voice was filled with bitterness and self-blame, "I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he slowly opened the package he brought in and took out an apple from it.

His movements were slow, as if he were carrying out a solemn ritual. He picked up a knife and carefully peeled the apple skin. The falling circles of peel seemed to also peel away the helplessness and pain in his heart.

After peeling the apple, he gently put it into Robin's hand.

Robin didn't put the apple in his mouth. Instead, he raised his head, his eyes calm but revealing a chilling determination. He said, "Lord, you don't intend to pursue the matter, right?"

Knight Malizzi, who believed he knew Robin's character very well, seemed to understand something from his eyes and words.

He frowned slightly, then gently patted Robin's shoulder, a trace of struggle in his eyes.

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He was torn between his conscience and his desires, but in the end he remained silent.

He looked at the young but extremely determined Robin in front of him, and knew full well the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

But what can we do in the face of this cruel reality?

In the end, he sighed deeply, and that sigh was filled with powerlessness and sadness in the face of reality.

Robin dragged his heavy and dazed body back to the barracks, his heart filled with grief and sorrow that almost overwhelmed him.

The moment he stepped into the barracks, he saw a dark figure fiddling with his things inside.

"My good brother, you are finally back!" Raymond walked out slowly from the shadows, and the hideous smile on his face looked particularly terrifying in the dim light.

His eyes flickered strangely, as if he was plotting some vicious conspiracy.

Robin frowned slightly, a trace of disgust and impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "I'm in a bad mood now. If you don't want to die, get out of here."

At this moment, he had just experienced Lily's tragic experience, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Raymond's appearance was undoubtedly like rubbing salt into his wounds.

"Do you think you have the right to tell me to get out?" Raymond sneered when he heard it. The moment his laughter stopped, he suddenly drew out his sword and stabbed Robin with the swiftness of a poisonous snake.

The sword was extremely fast, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

Robin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he reacted quickly based on the instincts developed through training and fighting.

However, in that split second, his heart sank, and he immediately realized that Raymond had reached the knight level.

Judging from the sharp power and speed of this sword, Raymond's strength has made a qualitative leap, which is definitely not something that those knight apprentices can do.

Robin narrowly avoided Raymond's lightning-fast sword, and then, without thinking, he picked up the big hammer on the shelf next to him.

The veins in his arms bulged, and he shouted loudly, raised the hammer high, and then smashed it heavily at Raymond with a tremendous force.

Raymond quickly blocked with his sword, and at that moment, the air seemed to be distorted by the shock.

With a loud bang, the hammer and the sword collided, emitting dazzling sparks.

The huge impact force directly knocked Raymond back several steps, staggering and almost falling.

Robin, on the other hand, only swayed slightly but quickly regained his composure, seemingly without much reaction.

Raymond's face was full of disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

He stared at Robin with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through him, and said involuntarily: "You have also reached the knight level."

He never imagined that Robin, whom he had always regarded as a thorn in his side, had broken through to the knight level without him noticing, and was even stronger than himself in strength.
