The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

That evening, Leo witnessed Camille's appetite firsthand; she truly ate the equivalent of two people.

The amount of food consumed by two adult male knights.

Camille seemed to be eating her fill for the first time, enjoying delicious white bread and bacon in the castle. She let out a satisfied burp.

Then, as if remembering something, he immediately and cautiously glanced to the side.

Seeing this, the deputy butler Ramos comforted him, "Eat in peace, Camille. Young Master Leo is a kind and benevolent lord."

"I...did I eat too much?" Camille was still nervous. "I...this is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious food...I can eat less, I'll start eating less from tomorrow, just a little bit!"

Ramos has not yet answered.

Leo's voice came from the doorway: "Eat as much as you want. Feeding one more won't cost much."

"Young Master." Ramos bowed slightly.

Camille stood up nervously as well: "Young Master Leo..."

"You should call me 'Sir,' not 'Young Master.'" Leo gestured. "Don't be shy, eat your meal first before thinking about anything else."

"Yes, Lord Ri..." Camille nodded vigorously.

After chatting with Camille for a few minutes to cultivate his loyalty, Leo returned to his master bedroom to rest.

The maid Olivia had already prepared a warm bath for him.

Taking a bath is a habit for Leo. If he doesn't take a bath every day, he feels uncomfortable all over and can't sleep well.

After taking a shower, I changed into clean pajamas.

Leo sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up the jade box from the bedside table, and held out his hand: "Maokai, come, let's cultivate together."

The little insect Maokai arched its body and crawled onto Leo's hand, its tiny, sesame-seed-sized eyes looking around.

It has low intelligence, but is very obedient.

When Leo began to meditate, it lay obediently in Leo's palm, silently radiating holy light, cooperating with Leo's meditation, communicating with the holy light elements floating in the surrounding air, and seeping into Leo's body.

Little by little, the elements of holy light accumulated in my limbs and bones.

It also subtly resonated with the Qi within his body, accelerating the absorption of holy light elements during meditation.

"Light Knight... this is the benefit of dual cultivation." Holy Light Aura and Holy Light Element resonate with each other, greatly increasing the speed of cultivation. Leo felt that even if he only meditated, he would eventually awaken Holy Light Aura.

The path to becoming a Knight of Light is not far off.

The next morning, after washing up, Leo found that the knights had already begun their morning lessons in the small square in front of the castle.

Shouts and shouts rose and fell.

Interspersed among these were Pluto's reprimands and Camille's nervous apologies.

By the time Leo had finished breakfast and joined the morning practice group, Camille had already been assigned by Pluto to stand still. He was carrying a stone, standing in a half-squatting position, struggling to remain motionless.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down her round cheeks.

Camille gritted his teeth, his legs visibly trembling. Having never taken a knightly training course before, he clearly couldn't adapt in the short term.

"Isn't this too strenuous?" Leo felt a little sorry for her; after all, she was just a little over seventeen, and her mind was still a bit foggy. "Is this the intensity for her first day of training?"

Bruto replied, "My lord, Camille is a promising talent, but she is too old. She is already seventeen years and three months old, and she may only have nine months left to awaken her Holy Light Battle Aura."

In theory.

Before the age of eighteen, one cannot awaken the Holy Light Battle Qi. After the age of eighteen, when the body is fully mature, it becomes even more difficult to awaken it.

However, this is not absolute; a very small number of knights awaken their Holy Light Aura after the age of eighteen, or even in their twenties.

"My lord, look at Camille..." Bruto lowered his voice, "Her body feels like it's almost fully developed. If we don't hurry up and exploit her, she might really miss the window of opportunity to awaken her Holy Light Battle Aura."

Following Pluto's words, Leo carefully examined Camille.

Sweat soaked her linen clothes, which clung to her body. I hadn't noticed it before; I only noticed that she was very robust, almost masculine in stature.

Looking at it now.

Camille's breasts were full and firm, indicating she was quite mature.

"Okay, then let's proceed according to your plan." Leo readily agreed. He wasn't one to offer empty words of kindness, and he respected professionals. He would never give unsolicited advice to experts or interfere with Pluto's tutorial.

However, he still called out, "Camille, train hard."

"Yes...sir..." Camille replied, her voice trailing off in a trembling tone.

Soon Leo also joined the training program, practicing swordsmanship, gunmanship, and dagger assassination techniques repeatedly.

When it was his turn to carry the stone and stand on the stake, seeing that even a little girl like Camille could persevere, he gritted his teeth and said, "Knight Commander, give me a bigger stone!"

"Sir, are you sure?"

"certainly."

"Okay, Oden, Biden, go find a twenty-pound rock and bring it over," Pluto ordered.

The stone was moved over, and Leo carried it to stand on the stake.

After a short while, he felt a little unsteady. He usually carried a 15-pound stone while practicing the stance. Don't underestimate the extra 5 pounds of weight. He had to keep lifting the stone, and even a little weight would make him feel a lot of pressure.

But looking around, Camille was still standing on the stake.

Leo felt he couldn't be outdone by a new girl, so he gritted his teeth and held on.

Once you get through the toughest part, it won't feel so strenuous anymore.

This made him sigh: "I thought my predecessor was quite serious about knight training, but now it seems... the training intensity was still too low. He didn't push his body to its limit. Otherwise, he should have been able to awaken his fighting spirit sooner."

After all, he was the second son of a baron.

When Pluto and others trained with him, they dared not push the intensity too high, and would even subconsciously reduce the intensity to prevent Leo from getting injured.

"Now I understand... it's not that I'm mediocre, it's that I haven't worked hard enough!" Leo regained his confidence.

He believed that as long as he trained hard...

Soon you will be able to awaken the Holy Light Battle Aura.

"Young Master, you've worked so hard." Dirk, the butler, came over and handed Leo a towel as soon as he finished training.

Leo wiped his sweat: "No, it's just normal training."

Butler Dirk, however, was only concerned with feeling sorry for them: "Pluto and the others are really something. Young Master, your status is so noble, how can you train them like ordinary knights?"

"It was my own request to increase the intensity." Leo waved his hand. "Mr. Dirk, you don't need to worry about the training, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Dirk had no choice but to give up: "Yes, young master."

Soon, a servant brought over milk tea and desserts: "Young master, please have a cup of milk tea to replenish your fluids. And these desserts are specially made by Mrs. Abby according to the taste you had at the fluorescent mushroom burger."

"Thank you." Leo took a bite, and it really suited his taste.

Then he said to the male servant Thomas, "I can't finish this much. Give half to the knights to try. Hmm, and get Camille a cup of milk tea. The little girl is exhausted and has lost too much water."

Thomas immediately went to deliver the desserts and milk tea.

Butler Dirk found it somewhat inexplicably...amusing, considering that Camille was actually a year older than Rio.
