Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"I wager Roan Yunina! I wager the title of heir to the Lionheart family, I challenge you to a duel!"

"As a knight, do you dare accept this challenge?"

This guy was just now holding his head high, talking about his reputation with Luo An.

Now that Roan's reputation has surpassed Leward's, they've changed their tune and are talking about strength with Roan.

Leia frowned slightly, stood in front of Luo An, and looked displeased.

"Leward, don't misunderstand, I am the heir to the Lionheart family."

"Your opponent is me? What? You want to fight me?"

A powerful aura emanated from Leia, her long dress and golden hair fluttering even without wind; just her presence alone made Leiward take a step back.

"How is this possible...?!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that in this banquet hall, Leia was the absolute strongest.

"What? Are you scared?" Leia took a step forward.

Are you surprised?

Why is Leia stronger in Lorton Town than I am studying at the academy? Are you right to think that?

Leia suddenly sighed.

"My foolish cousin, my foolish uncle. Why do you always mistake my forbearance for weakness? Why do you provoke me time and time again?"

"I have allowed you to devise pointless calculations,

But now, you dare to lay a finger on Luo An!

With sheer force of will, Leia gradually cornered Leiward against the wall. And Leiward didn't even have the courage to resist.

Even though he was wearing armor, and even though he placed his hand on the sword several times, Leward still dared not make a move.

Because they both practiced the Lion Breathing Technique, Leiward knew that Leia's aura was almost equivalent to that of the Black Iron Knight!

Luo An suddenly put his hand on Leia's shoulder.

"Leah, calm down."

Leia's imposing aura dissipated instantly. She turned and glanced at Luo An with dissatisfaction, but did not gather her aura again.

Luo An would respond with an apologetic smile.

"Since it is because of my reputation that I have made you the heir to your family."

"I always feel that in order to silence some dissent, it's better to do it perfectly so that I don't have to do after-sales service later."

"Therefore, Lord Leward Lionheart, I accept your duel." Roan nodded slightly.

Ryder and his son, who had been suppressed by Leia, were overjoyed. Ryder quickly raised his head:

"Really? You really mean it?"

"In front of so many people, Luo An, do you dare to swear an oath?"

"If you lose a duel to my son, Leia will have to withdraw from the Lionheart family's succession race!"

"Swear it, Roan!" Ryder almost roared.

Luo An turned to look at Leia.

The latter seemed somewhat helpless, but still nodded slightly. He spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Luo An, I believe in you."

"I swear," Roan said. "In return, if I win, you will have to abide by the same conditions."

"Of course!" Ryder exclaimed with elation. "Of course! Just a mere apprentice knight, just an apprentice knight. Hahahaha!"

Ryder completely lost his aristocratic demeanor and laughed uncontrollably, clutching his stomach.

"You all heard that, didn't you? An apprentice knight wants to defeat a knight among novice knights, Leiward! Swear an oath now, lest Roan go back on his word."

Father! Please bear witness!

Layton was already very dissatisfied with Ryder, this foolish fellow was ruining the family's future for his own benefit.

But things had already spiraled out of his control.

Now, it is not the Lionheart family that has chosen Roan.

It was Roan who chose the Lionheart family.

Layton could only nod, suddenly regretting that perhaps it would have been better to discuss this matter privately.

Having obtained Leiden's consent, Leiden urged Leiward to hurry up.

"Hurry up and swear it, you idiot! This is your chance! What are you hesitating for?!"

Leiward quickly swore an oath. "I swear to the great [Scales God] Ilor, I, Leiward Lionheart, will duel with Roan Yunina, and the loser will be permanently withdrawn from the Lionheart family's succession selection."

Luo An raised his hand, palm facing up, thumb clenched.

Without hesitation, Leia, like Luo An, and the three of them swore an oath at the same time.

The oath is made.

With so many people witnessing it, Leward burst into laughter.

"Let's duel, Roan!"

Luo An felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, actually I wanted to prepare a bit. After all, I just played a match."

"Lord Ryder, this should be in accordance with the rules, right?"

"Of course!" Ryder said magnanimously at this moment.

"Dear Mr. Roan, in two hours, in two hours, you are welcome to witness Leward becoming the heir of the Lionheart family."

The banquet was now drawing to a close.

Yet not a single nobleman left.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for the duel between Roan and Leward.

In the vast Lionheart Manor, Roan was the most composed, removing his armor and extending his arm to Ya Yang.

"This is troublesome."

"You bastard, Ryan and I specially chose this time to support you, and you actually agreed to duel with Ryan?!"

Despite complaining, Ya Yang placed her hands on Luo An's and murmured a miracle.

"I'm sorry," Luo An explained.

"Actually, besides Leia's reasons, I was also a bit intoxicated."

"I won't allow anyone to insult my adoptive mother," Roan said with a smile. "To be honest, the person I should beat up is Grandpa Leia."

After saying that, Luo An smiled, but his smile carried a hint of coldness.

Leia's gaze remained fixed on their tightly clasped hands. "You two...aren't you being a little too intimate?"

I remember that chanting a healing spell doesn't require that much intimacy, right?

Ya Yang was taken aback, immediately moved her hand away, her face slightly flushed, but fortunately the room was not brightly lit.

"I'm sorry, Miss Leia, this guy keeps getting seriously injured, so I just instinctively—"

"No explanation needed. I only hired Roan; he is not my husband."

"Ah? Oh—" Ya Yang breathed a long sigh of relief. "I thought—hehe, I know."

Leia sighed, feeling a pang of sadness and unease for some reason.

Shaking her head slightly to clear her mind, Leia looked at Luo An's hand with some worry.

"Roan, you're still an apprentice knight, can you really defeat Leiward?"

"You were already injured, and although they are both apprentice knights, Leward and Betain are not on the same level."

"Of course not." Roan rolled his eyes. Did Leia really think she beat Pétain? That was just Roan being lucky.

"However, I feel that if I train for another month, I will definitely be able to become a trainee knight."

"A month..." Leia laughed in exasperation. But she also knew that Roan wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of.

"If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll—deduct your wages!"

Very simple.

Because Luo An has an entry.

After a month of practice, he had long since become deeply immersed in Luo An.

Just a little something is needed to unleash Luo An's potential.

Luo An gestured for Leia to sit opposite him.

Two beautiful women each took one of Luo An's hands.

Leia's hands were very soft and gentle; she applied pressure lightly, as if afraid of hurting Luo An.

Ya Yang showed no politeness whatsoever. Her small, icy hands were folded together and pressed down on Luo An's hand without leaving a single gap.
