Chapter 52 The Lioness's Ambition

As the eldest daughter of the Lionheart family, she became a trainee knight before the age of 20. Her talent is second to none in the entire Lionheart family.

But her status as a woman precluded her from becoming the heir to the Lionheart family.

Therefore, among those less talented than her, several of her cousins ​​had long coveted the position of family heir.

This made Léa desperately need to prove herself.

Either possess sufficient strength, or no matter how promising Leia's future may be, that's all in the future.

Furthermore, once someone obtains the position of family heir, the family's resources will also be tilted towards that heir.

The vast resources were enough to bridge the gap in talent, and Léa had no chance of making a comeback.

The best solution would be to find a young knight who is powerful and renowned enough, change his surname to Lionheart, and marry into the Lionheart family.

Two young men, both strong and with great potential, are highly competitive in the Lionheart family, which is composed of knights.

In Lorton City, Ryan considered Roan to be the most promising young knight.

Ryan couldn't help but look up at the bright sun.

Everything from his meeting with Luo An to today is just too coincidental.

"Could it be that the great [Sun King], watching over our Lionheart family, bestowed Lord Roan upon us?"

"What are you muttering about?" Roan couldn't hear Ryan's buzzing voice through the helmet.

"Ah, it's nothing." Ryan led Roan to the magnificent gate. Looking around, he couldn't find Leia.

It's really a headache that the hostess of the banquet would abandon Luo An.

"Your Excellency Luo An, please rest for a while. There are drinks outside and food in the main hall. I'll go find my sister."

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the garden.

Luo An was left standing there when he saw a servant not far away carrying a tray with goblets of wine on it.

Luo An walked over to the attendant.

The attendant immediately smiled and said, "Sir Knight, do you need any assistance?"

"I'll have a drink." Luo An was extremely thirsty.

"Yes." The attendant nodded and picked up a cup from the tray, handing it to Luo An.

Luo An took a sip and thought it tasted good, like mead. Like Dugan.

His Excellency Levi would like it.

"How much is this?"

The servant paused for a moment, then smiled again.

"This is Lionheart family honey brew, it's free. Please feel free to try it."

"I mean, could you sell me some?" Luo An asked tentatively.

The attendant glanced at Luo An. "Sir, you can discuss the beverage business with Miss Leia."

"Could you pack one bottle for me?"

The servant was taken aback again. The Lionheart family's wine was indeed very popular, but it was rare to see a nobleman so bluntly asking for wine.

So this is a true knight? No wonder his gait is completely different from those unsteady noble "knights".

The attendant became even more respectful. "No problem, sir. After the banquet, please come to the exhibition hall and take any unopened bottle of wine you like."

"Thank you," Luo An said.

The servant's smile deepened; being recognized by the knight was a great honor.

"Thank you, guest. I will prepare a fuller-bodied wine for you; please keep an eye on the bottle seal."

Luo An was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"He's just a servant, why are you making such a fuss?"

An impatient voice came from behind Roan. It was a knight in armor with a cloak over which was painted a flaming longsword.

Behind him were four or five knights.

"It is Lord Odo, Lord Waquan, Lord Leo of the Fire Sword family... I am so sorry," the servant was about to apologize when Roan waved his hand, dismissing the servant.

Roan recognized these men; among the male knights, they were among those with relatively steady steps.

"Hello, Lord Odo. And a few other gentlemen, good afternoon," Roan greeted first.

"I am Roan Yunina."

"Odo Firesword." Odo removed his helmet, revealing a young and proud face. He was clearly their leader.

"You're also pursuing Miss Leia, aren't you?"

"Hmm." Luo An couldn't very well say that he was there to make money.

"Hmph, stop pretending." Odo crossed his arms, his face full of impatience.

"Everyone knows about Leia; she's beautiful and far more noble than us minor nobles."

"If I can marry her, I will have both status and beauty, and perhaps I can go to the capital and become a true knight."

"Draw your swords, let's duel."

The other knights nodded in agreement.

"..." Luo An looked helpless. Of these guys, only Odo was a little better. The others were all the type who would fall over at the slightest touch.

Wearing such thick armor, Luo An was worried that they might fall and break bones.

However, if we're talking about money, that's a different story.

Roan's eyes darted around, his gaze sweeping over the knights, trying to glean any useful knowledge.

No, even without acquiring it, Luo An still possesses the [Golden Rule].

"Gentlemen, we are knights, and we must not be impolite in our host's home."

"How about we have a peaceful fight, like a drinking contest?"

"Drinking?" The knights were taken aback. "How can a knight be a drunkard?"

Roan swirled his wine glass. "As a knight, one must have a high alcohol tolerance to handle any banquet, especially the Lionheart family's grand feasts."

"this--"

"You dare not?" Luo An took out a silver coin. "Or do you feel you haven't had enough fun?"

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. The loser drinks."

"How about we each bet one silver coin? The knight who stays until the end wins all the silver coins."

The knights seemed to feel insulted by a mere silver coin.

"Come on then, I'll bet two silver coins."

"I'll bet three silver coins."

.....

Twenty minutes later, in a garden somewhere in Lionheart Manor, Roan staggered to his feet and spat at the five knights lying sprawled on the ground.

"I've lived two lives, and with the added bonus, they still want to compete with me in a drinking contest."

Luo An patted the ten silver coins in his pocket and burped. He wiped his lips with satisfaction.

Ten silver coins, plus Ryan's twelve and Leia's five.

In less than half a day, 27 silver coins were easily obtained.

Oh, Roan is really growing to love banquets and Leia more and more.

This wine was indeed potent; Luo An felt his body swaying. The armor was also unusually heavy.

Just as she stumbled and nearly fell, a slender hand suddenly caught her firmly.

"Oh dear, Mr. Luo An, I couldn't find you anywhere. So you were drinking here."

Leia said with a smile.

"How was it? Isn't Lionheart's wine fantastic?"

That's good.

Luo An was a little embarrassed. He felt like he'd been caught red-handed.

"Don't worry, you're a guest, and it's the host's duty to make you enjoy yourself." Leia didn't blame Luo An; on the contrary, she liked him even more.

She wanted Roan's fame and status. She wanted to use Roan's fame to secure her position as heir to the Lionheart family.

But Leia didn't want to be pinned down by someone.

She needs a husband she can control; whether he's an alcoholic or a playboy is a minor flaw.
