Ainz Ooal Gown: Noble Knight.

Chapter 79 Scumbag Rune

The light in the room was dimmer than before.

The sun outside the window was obscured by thin clouds, and the light coming in through the French windows changed from bright gold to soft silver-white, like a very light mist enveloping the room.

Lana's profile looked even more sickly in the light, and her golden hair lost its dazzling luster, gaining a grayish texture instead.

Rune did not answer.

His gaze fell on the empty teacup on the table. The tea stains at the bottom of the cup had dried, forming a faint brown ring.

In fact, he really didn't know what Gerdov thought of him.

Over the years, he deliberately avoided all occasions where he might come into contact with Gazeta. He even feigned illness to avoid attending the royal martial arts competition.

At banquets in the capital, he would leave early if he heard that Gerdov was present.

He cannot allow Gerdoff to be influenced by him.

As the first native that Ainz came into contact with and recognized in the original work, Gazef must remain exactly the same as in the original work before meeting Ainz Ooal Gown.

This is to ensure that the various coincidences during Shalltear's capture can be reproduced to the greatest extent possible.

Therefore, Rune truly had no idea how Gazef viewed him.

Seeing that he did not answer, Lana gently turned her head to the side.

"Rune-chan, the Warrior Captain isn't as complicated as you think."

Rune raised his eyelids.

"As far as the Warrior Captain is concerned," Lana's voice continued, emphasizing each word clearly, "you, who value the common people and insist on aiding the Dragon Kingdom, are the knight lord in his eyes."

Rune would naturally not leave something like that to Ainz.

At this moment, the ring has already flowed into the Theocracy through the Kingdom's secret channels. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably already on Zesshi Zesshi's hand.

Such equipment, which significantly enhances high-level combat power, should naturally be given to the strongest individuals.

and many more.

Rune suddenly realized something.

My own behavior —

Ask one girl for a ring, then give it to another girl.

like.

He's a bit like a jerk.

Rune looked into Lana's eyes and felt a little uneasy.

Under Lana's deep blue gaze, Rune felt a subtle unease, akin to feeling guilty.

Rune tried to keep his gaze calm, but under Lana's watchful eye, he unconsciously shifted his gaze slightly to the side.

"Rune-chan".

Her voice was light and airy, yet it carried the oppressive feeling of a hunter seeing his prey step into a trap.

"Could it be that he gave that ring to another girl?"

Rune's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

"This woman is a monster."

He cursed inwardly, but his face remained unchanged.

"Your Highness is too kind," Rune said calmly, with a hint of confusion. "That ring is very important to me, how could I give it to someone else?"

.

Lana stared at Rune for a long time.

He wore a faint smile, but there was clearly no smile in his deep blue eyes.

"yes."

Her voice was very soft, as soft as a feather falling on the water.

"That's good."

She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a small sip. Her movements were elegant and composed, as if the question she had just asked was truly just a casual remark.

But Rune noticed that her fingers, which were holding the teacup, had turned slightly white from pressing down.

"Your Highness," Rune bowed slightly, placing his right hand on his chest in a standard noble greeting, "6

It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now.

In this situation, running away is definitely the wisest choice.

Lana lifted her eyelids to look at him.

"Rune-chan." Her voice was soft, with an indescribable meaning, "Are you leaving already?"

""

"There are still some things to prepare," Rune said respectfully. "I need to go back and make arrangements regarding the Eight Fingers operation."

Lana nodded slightly, as if she agreed with Rune's explanation.

"Okay, then be careful on the road, Rune."

Rune straightened up and walked towards the door, his steps slightly faster than usual.

He walked through the corridors, through the courtyard, and through the magnificent city gate. Along the way, the servants and guards saluted him, to which he merely nodded hastily.

Rune finally stopped after leaving the city of Lorenti.

"I should try to avoid contact with Lana in the future," Rune murmured.

This woman is terrifying.
