Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo An suddenly opened his eyes.

The bed canopy was made of velvet.

The candlelight spilled from the tall candlestick on the bedside table, carrying the scents of incense and tea.

Léa's room?

Suddenly, Luo An felt his hand being tightly gripped, damp with sweat. His armor had long been removed, and someone was carefully examining Luo An's hand, not even missing the gaps between his fingers.

Turning around, I saw a handsome face. His brown pupils were wide open.

Then, that face grinned.

"Lord Luo An, you're awake?!"

After a moment of silence, Luo An finally spoke.

"Ryan, it's you?"

Ryan looked puzzled. "Of course it's me, this is my room."

"Oh, you mean this?" Ryan tossed the towel over his shoulder.

"No need to be so polite. His Excellency Luo An's noble body is not something a servant should touch. You were sleeping too soundly, so I personally washed away the dirt for you."

After saying that, Ryan grinned and looked at Roan with anticipation.

"Thank you," Luo An said.

"Hehe." Ryan's grin widened.

For some reason, Luo An felt empty inside.

It's probably because the contrast between before and after sleep is too great.

Forget it.

Luo An tried to sit up by propping himself up on the bed, but the nobleman's bed was very soft, and he couldn't get up even after several attempts.

"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

Leia sat on a chair by the bed, having changed into her familiar emerald green dress with gold trim, holding a tea tray and saucer.

The tea had been changed several times, but Leia hadn't touched it. Just looking at Roan's sleeping face made her very hungry.

Even though she had been watching for two days, L'Oréal still felt she hadn't seen enough.

Leia licked her lips, still wanting more, before speaking.

"Your hand has been healed by Miss Ya Yang."

The surgery has put the bone back in place; you'll need to avoid lifting heavy objects for a few weeks.

Luo An tried to raise his hand and could indeed feel it trembling slightly.

Ultimately, it was a direct punch against the armor. Even with the bonus from the stat boost, and despite wearing even tougher silver armor, Luo An was still severely injured.

Feeling the tingling and numbness in his hands, Luo An once again warned himself not to act impulsively, but he didn't regret it.

Another time, Luo An will do the same thing.

We're just being a bit more cautious.

With a sigh, Luo An switched hands and shakily sat up.

Ryan immediately stepped forward to help Roan up.

"Don't touch him!" Leia suddenly shouted at Ryan.

"That guy should have made his move the moment Leward took out the ring."

"He brought this terrible injury on himself! Ryan, step back! Let this idiot see just how stupid he is."

Ryan glanced at Roan with guilt, raised his hand several times, but still took a step back.

King Kangor of the Sun might not blame Ryan, but Leia would definitely twist Ryan's arm off.

"I apologize, Lord Roan."

"Ah, it's okay." Luo An tried to move his body; it did hurt a lot, but it wasn't to the point that he couldn't move.

Staggering toward Leia, Roan felt somewhat apologetic.

"Sorry, to be honest, I don't think I'll lose."

"But I was still too impulsive. If Leward had been any better, it would have been troublesome. I apologize."

"Who said you would lose?" Leia sighed, then suddenly became serious. "The injury is already the best outcome."

"Let me finish."

Leia raised her hand to stop Roan from speaking. Her finger pointed straight at his chest.

"What if you get injured? What if you're disfigured, have a broken rib, or your skin is torn open?"

Leia touched Luo An's heart with her fingertips.

"What if it leaves any hidden injuries?"

"so,"

"Stop talking to me about losing or not."

You only need to remember one thing:

Standing in that arena, you're dueling, not exchanging chivalrous pronouncements. All you need to do is win. Understand?

Why is this woman so long-winded?

Roan turned to Ryan for help.

The latter clearly wouldn't offend Leia, and looked down at the pattern of the carpet spread on the ground.

That's a bastard too. He keeps calling me Lord Luo An all the time, but when something really happens, he acts like he didn't notice.

Left with no other option, Luo An had to raise his hands and beg for mercy.

"Alright, alright, Miss Leia, I was wrong. I apologize. I'll never do that again."

Leia snorted, clearly not believing Luo An at all, and took another sip of tea.

After a long while, Leia sighed. She wanted to say something more, but felt she wasn't qualified.

Leia casually tossed a bag over her shoulder.

"Your payment."

Finally, it was time for Luo An's favorite thing: to tally up the rewards.

He hurriedly took the heavy bag. Luo An couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

Thinking of Yunina's adoptive mother, Roan finally understood what it felt like to hold 50 silver coins.

Luo An is rich now!

If his adoptive mother were still alive, Luo An would definitely buy her a house with an estate. She wouldn't need to do anything; she could just wake up every day, drink tea, attend aristocratic tea parties, and gossip.

Thinking of his adoptive mother, Luo An's smile dimmed considerably, and he sighed softly.

Ultimately, it was my own incompetence. If I had learned the language of this world earlier and taken my adoptive mother to see a doctor, perhaps everything would have been different.

Although Luo An only sighed softly, Leia still noticed him.

She put down her teacup, wondering why Luo An was suddenly acting this way, and tentatively asked, "Are you not satisfied?"

"Ryan, give all your salary to Roan, consider it a loan from me."

Ryan's face fell, and he took out ten silver coins, which were all his possessions.

Luo An shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional as he suddenly held so many silver coins in his hands.

"Sorry, I'm fine. It's my first time holding fifty silver coins, I'm not used to it yet."

Leia looked at Roan with concern.

She could tell who was talking, and now Roan's lies were the most clumsy and inept.

Does Roan really care about silver coins? No matter how Leia asked herself, she would get the same answer.

This fool only cares about silver coins.

Leia also believed that Roan needed the silver coins, and definitely not for himself.

It's for that woman named Yunina, isn't it?

Leia suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

If she had met Roan earlier, perhaps Roan wouldn't be Roan Yunina, but Roan Lionheart.

She murmured the name "Lionheart".

Leia's heart suddenly clenched.

She instinctively reached out her hand.

As her fingertips touched Luo An's black hair, she felt her hands tremble slightly.

"Luo An," Leia said softly.

"I don't know why you made that face."

The only thing Leia was certain of was that she didn't want him to make that face again.

"Please believe me—" Leia stopped beside Roan's ear and gently pressed his shoulder.

"The person you miss is also missing you deeply."

Leia's voice was so low it was almost a whisper.

I sincerely hope you won't get hurt or be sad.

"I'm just like her. I want to witness a young man named Luo An keep going, keep going."

Leia snapped out of her daze and chuckled softly.

"Oh."

Ryan, the third person in the room, couldn't help but speak up.

"Isn't it troublesome, Your Excellency? My sister is that kind of person."
