So I'm a sheep.

"I wouldn't dare, I... I'll take my leave now."

..................................................

The knight gritted his teeth and retreated. As soon as he stepped outside, he found a large group of his colleagues gathered at the door.

"Is the lord deceiving himself again?"

Upon seeing the knight nod, everyone fell silent.

"This can't go on any longer. Everyone has heard about the infamous reputation of hallucinogenic drugs."

"If my lord continues to be so unrestrained, his health will collapse sooner or later."

"I thought that once Aran was alright, the lord would be relieved, but it turns out that the lord's knot in his heart has not been untied at all."

"Someone should come up with an idea! Or should we go together and try to persuade the Duke?"

"It's no use, my lord won't listen to anyone's advice anymore."

"..."

"........."

"I think we have no choice but to take drastic measures this time."

Suddenly, a knight spoke up: "Go find Aran for help."

"The lord struck her with his sword. If it weren't for the angel's intervention, Aran would have been dead long ago."

Some knights were very pessimistic: "Why would she help us?"

I'll give it a try.

The knight who had fought Arran outside the village spoke up: "I did not actually lead my army to attack the angel's village. Moreover, when I fought Arran, I deliberately only managed a draw and never won."

"Given that girl's character, she should appreciate my kindness."

"Coincidentally, I also left myself some leeway when I led the army to quell the rebellion. Let's go together; that way, there's a greater chance she'll agree."

"Wow, you're so in sync! Count me in."

"Phew, take me with you... even though I really did lose."

"You all suffered crushing defeats, yet your army suffered virtually no losses. I was wondering about that, now I see!"

"..."

"We might be the traitors to the country."

After one of the knights said something, everyone fell silent.

Yes, the knights are not unaware that if the 'Wizards' Rebellion' is allowed to continue, the entire Nistre will be thrown into turmoil.

But in their hearts, the entire Nistre was far less important than their lord.

"Ha, so what?"

Suddenly someone spoke for everyone: "My loyalty has always been to my lord, not to the Duchy of Nestor."

"As long as my lord can recover, I will have no regrets even if I am scorned by thousands!"

.................................................. .........

As dawn broke, a loud commotion outside the village startled the little girl awake.

'Sigh, here we go again.'

'Recently, not only have there been more inexplicable assassins, but these knights are also on the move more frequently.'

Sasha got out of bed unhappily and went outside the village. To her surprise, she found that there were many knights this time!

'They're finally getting serious, but why isn't Wood leading the team?'

'Besides, they weren't fully armed.'

"Lord Angel"

Several familiar knights greeted Sasha politely: "We've come to see the Holy Maiden because we have a favor to ask."

Saintess...

That's strange, why do you Nister Knights call Arran that?

"Lady Sasha! Ah, greetings to all the seniors!"

Aran ran out of the village and saw so many knights coming. Instead of being afraid, she showed a happy expression.

"Why did all the seniors come together this time?"

"Holy Maiden, we have a request."

"Uh, just call me Aran."

Startled by the knights' title, the girl was about to ask something when she saw all the knights kneel down on one knee.

"After his lord swung that sword, he truly regretted it."

“We know that our lord’s actions cannot be easily forgiven, and as knights, we are willing to take the punishment for him.”

"Please, we've shown you the way forward, so please!"

Having been in this world for so long, Sasha has come to know quite a bit about the Knights of Nister.

Unlike the extravagant lifestyle of the Moonlit Knights, the Knights of Nist still maintain their true selves.

They adhered to the ancient code of chivalry and placed great importance on their own honor.

These knights appeared humble, but were actually very proud.

But now...

'Kneeling and begging, what has Wood done to deserve this?'

Sasha had never had a good impression of Duke Wood, and she really didn't expect these knights to go to such lengths for him.

"What should I do?" Aran asked quickly after regaining her senses.

"We hope that you will challenge our lord!"

"Don't hold back, it's best to beat him up."

“That’s right, my lord is out of his mind right now and needs your iron fist to teach him a lesson.”

The knights started talking all at once, but the girl's expression turned strange after listening.

"Dear seniors, I am very willing to help you."

"But I am no match for the Grand Duke!"

"Alas, in the past, no knight could defeat the Grand Duke, but now..."

Volume 1: Chapter 125 Peace

"Lord"

Half-drunk and half-awake, Wood heard the voice of his knight.

"Ok?"

“A girl has challenged you in accordance with the laws you previously promulgated.”

Laws, challenges?

Ah, I remember now.

Has that law been forgotten to be repealed?

"The law is off. As for the challenge... anyone can take it for me."

“My lord, even if that decree is repealed now, it was still in effect before.”

The knight said solemnly, "You should fight this battle yourself."

"Don't go!"

Wood clutched his head; he felt a splitting headache.

Is waking up this painful? I can't take it anymore, I might as well...

"Wine, bring me wine, I want wine."

"My lord, you cannot drink alcohol now. The challenger is already waiting outside the door."

"Give her enough money so that she'll never set foot in my castle again!"

The knight's nagging ignited Wood's anger, and he roared, "And you, didn't you hear my order? Bring me the wine right now!"

This time, the knight bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, my lord, I will send Aran away and bring you all the fine wine."

"..."

"and many more"

His dazed gaze suddenly sharpened, and Wood said in a deep voice, "Who did you just say you wanted to drive away?"

"My lord, I am about to drive your challenger, the saintess Aran who once took a sword from your back, out of the castle."

Having said this, the knight was prepared to face his lord's thunderous wrath.

However, Wood calmed down immediately.

"So, they've finally come to seek revenge?"

"It's just too slow, too slow!"

Wood struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the chair. "Please let Aran bear with it a little longer. I won't run away, it's just..."

"In my current state, I really cannot go out to see her."

..................................................

"Aran, what do you think of this castle?"

"So big and beautiful!"

The girl exclaimed excitedly, "Lady Sasha, it's like a dream! I never imagined that Aran would one day be able to walk into this castle."
