As they spoke, the Silversor family's distinctive silver ash wood carriage came to a steady stop in front of Lionheart Manor.

At the center of the banquet, Léa Lionheart was the first to approach Pétain's carriage.

As the hostess of the banquet, and given the close relationship between the Silversor family and the Lionheart family, she had to personally greet them.

Accustomed to aristocratic etiquette, Leia wore a white gown that tightly hugged her waist, revealing her stunning figure.

Even the usually dignified nobles couldn't help but glance at Leia a few more times, and their breathing became a little heavier.

Leia didn't dislike that kind of look.

She loved it; she was born to be the center of attention.

She hadn't worn a formal dress and high heels for so long that the tightness made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Luo An was also late.

On such an important occasion, he still made the dignified Leia wait for him.

Leia gritted her teeth inwardly. She began to wonder if she had been too nice to Luo An, making him a little smug.

After waiting for so long, I still got on the wrong bus.

The carriage door of Yinse was finally opened.

The mere appearance of the apprentice knight Pétain Silversor at the carriage door caused a chorus of screams.

As expected of the youngest and most handsome apprentice knight in Lorton Town, he had a handsome face and a tall and straight posture. The scar on his face added a touch of domineering aura to Pétan.

Pétain snorted, completely ignoring the screaming nobleman, and his gaze fell on Leia, his eyes flickering slightly.

Leia smiled again.

"Hello, Master Pétain Silverser."

"Hello, Miss Leia Lionheart." Pétain showed no intention of bowing, his brow furrowed.

Leia wasn't angry. Pétain's rudeness was ingrained in his bones. Putting aside his prejudice against everyone, she actually felt less scheming around him.

"Who has angered young master Bei Dan again?" Leia teased.

"Hmph. A nobody." Pétain gritted his teeth. "No need to worry about her, Miss Leia. This is a gift I prepared."

Pétain gestured for Léa to look at the long line of carriages blocking the Lionheart mansion.

The carriages at the very front were all white, numbering twenty in total, all belonging to the Silver Serpent family.

"These are gifts from the Silver Serpent family to Miss Leia: two carts of jewels, two carts of swords, armor, and various other treasures."

"If I marry Miss Leia, our two families will be on good terms for generations, and Miss Leia will surely inherit the Lionheart family's title."

"Hehe." Leia found it amusing; Bedang's words were never roundabout and were exceptionally stupid.

Having become the heir to the Lionheart family through the Silver Serenity family, it's highly unlikely that Leia will inherit the title.

"Not satisfied?" Pétain frowned slightly, having already humbled himself.

"You're looking down on jewelry? Too bad, I almost received a 'Mother's Tear' last month."

"That wretched apprentice White Knight, if I had Mother's Tears, I would definitely give them to Miss Leia."

Leia found it even more amusing. No wonder he was Young Master Beidan; the guy who could make him angry for a whole month was just an ordinary White Knight.

The White Knight.....

Does Lorton have any apprentice White Knights?

Leia suddenly thought of something, and her smile deepened.

"Young Master Pétain, it seems we're thinking of the same person?"

Pétain was momentarily puzzled.

Missing someone? Whom are you missing?

He doesn't care about anyone.

Except for that blind knight!

He will never forget that guy.

Once he leaves Lorton, he'd better pray he doesn't run into Pétain.

And he definitely can't escape.

Pétain could smell the scent of the White Knight.

"Yo." Luo An finally arrived at the manor. He raised his hand to greet Leia.

"Sorry, there was a traffic jam. I walked here. Hope I wasn't late."

Leia was stunned. She was both surprised and delighted.

"Hehe, my bad. By the way, this is—Young Master Pétain Silverser."

Pétain?

I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before.

As a knight, Roan stood with his legs together, fists to his chest, and gave a knightly salute.

"Hello--,"

Before he could finish speaking, Pétain suddenly turned around and threw a punch with considerable force straight at Roan's chest.

Leia was startled and immediately scolded, "Betain, what are you doing?!"

The speed was too fast; Leia couldn't stop it at all and could only watch helplessly as the fist struck Roan directly. She instinctively closed her eyes.

clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing made Leia tremble. She opened her eyes and saw that Pétain and Roan had taken a few steps back at the same time.

Both men's fists emitted faint wisps of smoke, indicating that they were using breathing techniques in their fight.

Luo An shook his fist to release the force, and frowned slightly.

too fast.

Fortunately, the wolf's roar was powerful enough to block most of the force.

Who is this guy? Why did he suddenly attack?

Compared to Roan, Pétain was even more surprised. Although he did not use his full strength in his punch, it already contained three-tenths of the power of his breathing technique.

Even if an apprentice knight is wearing armor, if he is hit by this punch, he will at least fall to the ground and make a fool of himself.

Luo An, however, made his move last and was caught completely off guard, yet he managed to fight him to a draw.

Could it be that Roan is already a trainee knight?

Moreover, he is an extremely strong apprentice knight, whose combat experience is no less than that of Pétain.

No, it's impossible.

To go from apprentice knight to trainee knight in just one month is impossible unless Roan was already at a bottleneck.

No, it's impossible.

The difference between a trainee knight and an apprentice knight is not only in the duration of their breathing techniques.

It can be reflected in many small details.

Roan was definitely not up to the level of a trainee knight.

The only possibility is on Roan's white armor.

"Hmph. Not bad armor." Pétain clicked his tongue. "I misjudged it."

Leia quickly walked towards Luo An, lifted his hand to check carefully and found nothing wrong, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Not even a mark was left.

Even so, Leia still asked in a low voice.

"Are you suffering any internal injuries?"

Leia only breathed a sigh of relief when Roan shook his head, then turned around and glared fiercely at Pétain.

"Pétain, how dare you harm a guest of the Lionheart family at their banquet!"

"Has your Silver Serpent family forgotten the Lionheart family's wrath?"

"I'll make you remember right now!"

Pétain's expression changed slightly. Even he had to admit that Leia was the strongest and most difficult apprentice knight to conquer.

"never mind."

Roan shook his head. "Perhaps I offended Mr. Pétain first. Mr. Pétain, I apologize to you."

Leia's anger vanished instantly.

The lioness clicked her tongue, surprisingly offering no objection, and turned to give Pétain a cold look.

There will be no next time.

Not only Pétain, but all the other nobles were dumbfounded.

When did this proud Leia become so obedient to a man?

All the nobles' eyes fell on the black-haired youth beside Leia.

Luo An....Luo An Yunina....

The nobles murmured Roan's name, then suddenly remembered. That man was Levi's squire, who had defeated Oran Firesword, the number one knight on the knight rankings, and was also Leia's suitor.

So, does this mean Roan is also one of Leia's suitors?!

No, no matter how you look at it, the two are being far too intimate, and have long since moved beyond the relationship of pursuer.

The nobles immediately looked at Roan with pity.

In front of Roan was Pétain, who realized he had been tricked and was almost furious.
