Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"You're very strong," Luo An said.

Whether Pétain heard him or not, Roan looked away and felt a sharp pain in his chest again, his heart pounding like a drum.

He suffered internal injuries.

Not surprisingly.

The difference between an apprentice knight and a trainee knight is frighteningly large.

Only through personal experience can one understand how significant the difference is between conventional breathing and prolonged breathing.

This is just a decent trainee knight.

Luo An felt that Leia was at least twice as strong as Pétain.

At least Pétain's sword didn't have "sword aura".

Luo An had a sudden realization, which was different from the more powerful insights gained from fighting against stronger opponents.

When facing Pétain, Roan was able to stay grounded.

It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to become an apprentice knight.

But now Luo An's vision went black.

Luo An tried to find something to lean on. The nobles, seeing Luo An, all stepped back.

Just as he was about to fall, he suddenly leaned against something soft.

"Luo An." Leia supported Luo An, her eyes filled with a hint of heartache.

"You're injured? Is it serious? I'll get the pastor right away."

"No need." Luo An barely managed to stand firm. Leia was the master, and Luo An was just a henchman. In front of so many people, he couldn't let Leia lose her manners.

"I'm fine, Miss Leia..." Roan looked at Leia earnestly.

Are you satisfied?

Leia felt a pang of guilt, but mostly she was overjoyed.

That was the scene Leia had always dreamed of: a knight rescuing a princess from a dragon.

The evil dragon is not important.

The important thing is that the boy met the girl, and Roan met Leia.

And that's how the story begins.

Even Leia's heart began to race, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Hmm. Luo An—"

"That's good." Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll ask for an extra two silver coins."

Leia was stunned. Her girlish shyness vanished instantly, replaced by gritted teeth.

"Okay, okay, okay."

After saying "good" three times, Leia regained her faint smile.

"Luan Yunina. As expected of you." Leia forcefully stuffed two silver coins into Luan's arms.

When Luo An saw Leia's appearance, he immediately felt uneasy.

Luo An was also out of his mind.

Why would they need silver coins at this time? Do you think Leia would be short of two silver coins?

This also displeased Leia.

If Leia gets tired of Luo An and finds another thug, Luo An's long-term meal ticket will be gone.

Luo An felt a little aggrieved; his opponent was just a trainee knight, what was wrong with asking for a few silver coins?

"Um, Miss Leia, it's not about the silver coins," Roan tried to smooth things over.

"Oh?" Leia narrowed her eyes slightly. Considering that Roan had defeated Pétain, it was not too late to forgive him now.

"Hmm—actually, one silver coin will do," Luo An said.

Leia's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Snap snap snap snap,

A burst of applause suddenly broke the silence between the two.

"A spectacular contest! Leia, as expected of the person you chose, you are as brave as a lion."

An elderly man with thick blond hair, resembling a lion's mane, slowly walked forward.

Upon seeing him, the surrounding nobles all showed surprise, quickly nodded in greeting, and made way for him.

The old man calmly walked through the crowd and came to Luo An.

"Young man, hello." His voice was deep and resonant, like thunder rolling from his chest. "I am Leyton Lionheart—the patriarch of House Lionheart. And also this little girl's grandfather."

Facing Layton, Leia's breathing became much lighter, and she smiled cautiously.

"Grandpa, you actually came too. I thought—"

"What are you talking about? My granddaughter is having a major life event, can't I come?" Layton snorted, turning his gaze to Roan. He looked Roan up and down, nodding repeatedly.

"Hmm, very good eye. The armor is also very tasteful. Is this your armor?"

Luo An thought to himself that the retro style of the silver armor was quite to the liking of the older generation.

"This was a gift from Mayor Hagrid."

Layton suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I know, he would give it to you. You are—whose squire again?"

Leia quickly said:

"Grandpa, Roan is Reeves's squire, the very same Reeves known for his 'noble' reputation."

"Oh, no wonder." Layton nodded.

"Leah, is this your choice?"

Leia suddenly gave Luo An a wink, signaling him to slightly raise his shoulder.

Luo An didn't understand, but he did as instructed.

Under everyone's gaze, Leia gently took Roan's arm, her face slightly flushed.

"Yes. I've made up my mind."

The nobles, both men and women, gasped in shock. Everywhere, the cries of utter despair echoed.

If Layton hadn't been there, these guys probably would have pounced on Roan and snatched Leia back from him.

Layton's eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned around.

"Let's go inside and talk."

After saying that, Layton walked toward Lionheart House.

Leia quickly pulled Roan along and hurried after Layton.

Along the way, Leia held tightly to Roan's arm and whispered in his ear.

"My grandpa actually came! I was so scared!"

Luo An found it strange; Mr. Layton seemed perfectly fine, no different from any other elder.

"That's because you were lucky." Leia glared at Roan.

"You've never seen my grandfather angry. Luckily, you behaved well, and he has a good impression of you."

"It seems Grandpa values ​​me a lot too." Leia smiled and looked down.

"Grandpa will support me becoming the heir, I know that, he's very good to me."

Luo An, however, did not think so.

There wasn't much of a reason, but it seemed like Layton was more enthusiastic about Roan than he was about Leia.

Although he was just a henchman, Luo An didn't want to get involved in the Lionheart family's troubles.

But L'Oréal did spend the money after all.

There's really nothing wrong with being a psychologist.

"I don't think it's that simple."

"What do you know? You're the biggest idiot."

Suddenly, Leia remembered something. She gently punched Luo An's chest.

"Don't overthink it. We need to go all the way, or my grandfather will get suspicious."

Luo An shrugged. He did want to hook up with a rich woman, but rich women wouldn't be interested.

Even through the armor, Roan could feel Leia's softness as she tightly wrapped her arms around him. He could smell the fragrance of Leia's golden hair.

You can feel Leia's breath gently falling on the armor.

Well, it's not bad.

Following Leia through the bustling banquet, they turned to a corner of the room, where guards bearing the Lionheart emblem appeared before a door.

Luo An had been coming and going from Lionheart Manor for some time, but he had never seen these guards.

This made Roan even more suspicious of Layton's intentions.

However, even if Luo An wanted to remind Leia, Leia was acting crazy at the moment, clinging to Luo An and making it difficult for him to even take a step.

Upon seeing Layton, the guard opened the door.

Just as Luo An was about to go in, he was suddenly stopped by the guards.

"I'm sorry, Sir Knight, only members of the Lionheart family are allowed inside. It's Lord Layton's order."

Leia Song Cairoan looked at Leiden.

Layton did not turn around, his figure disappearing into the corridor.

Leia also had a bad feeling and smiled at Luo An.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
