"Is this your child?" Nia looked at Reed.
"What, is there a problem?"
"Not at all like you."
Fate raised an eyebrow.
She hasn't even seen what he looks like yet she's saying he doesn't look like him. Obviously, this girl is trying to trick him.
"Are you kidding me, Miss Knight? How could I not look like me? Have you seen what I look like?" Of course Fate would not be fooled by such a low-level trick.
Nia, the captain of the Queen's personal guard and the Knight of the Inquisition, unexpectedly caught up with a country weirdo of unknown origin and kept talking to him, which made the presiding judge who was left aside very embarrassed and puzzled.
"Well, Miss Knight, you must have other things to do, right?" Fate gestured to the presiding judge. "I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, I understand." Nia nodded, and then said to the presiding judge. "Your Excellency, let's talk about work another day. I have something to deal with today. Sorry."
".......Okay, I understand." The presiding judge's cheek twitched. He was so busy that he had pushed aside many official duties to receive the knight from the imperial capital. How could he just leave him alone for a countryman who came from nowhere?
But who could blame him? He was a Knight of the Palace, the direct disciple of the Grand Knight of Dawn, and also the Queen's personal guard?
This status is like stacking BUFF. A small chief judge like himself cannot afford to offend him, so he can only force a smile to show that it is okay.
"............" Fit pulled Reed and walked out. Anyway, what happened here had nothing to do with him now.
"Mr. Fate, there's a restaurant nearby that's pretty good. Would you like to join us?"
Then, a shocking scene appeared. Fate was walking in front, and Nia was following behind like a follower, talking and sticking to him, but she just refused to leave, which made the presiding judge and the guards stunned.
"Ms. Knight, you just said you had something to take care of."
"Isn't that what we are dealing with?" Nia smiled. "Isn't that right, Master?"
Chapter 33: 32~Nia
"Are you right, Master?" Nia's lips curled up, which was rare, and she spoke slowly and calmly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"? Master?" Fate's heart trembled, but his tone remained calm. "Miss Knight, you called me?"
Fate pointed at himself with an incredulous look.
"Miss Knight, did you recognize the wrong person? I don't remember teaching anyone a craft, and I don't remember being anyone's master."
"You and this child don't look alike." Nia did not directly answer Fate's question, but instead brought up the topic again.
"How come it doesn't look like that? Do you still want me to take off my helmet to prove it?"
"Really?" Nia didn't say anything, just stared at Fate, her eyes almost made it clear.
Fate turned a blind eye and since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't say anything either.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Seeing that Fate was playing dumb and the topic could not be continued, Nia had no choice but to take the initiative.
"............?" I asked politely, "Are you still climbing up the pole?"
"Perhaps you can try to prove it?" Nia said this while staring at the tin can on Fate's head.
"Ahem... As you said, my voice is indeed a lot deeper than usual. I've had cold these days." Fate pretended to cough. "I won't take off my helmet, so as not to be rude later."
"I see. Is it serious?" Nia asked.
"It's not serious."
"If it's not serious, why don't you take off your helmet?"
"I haven't recovered yet. I still have some coughs and sneezes." Fate pretended to cover the breathing hole of his helmet with his hand.
"Oh, I know a thing or two about diagnosis. Could you please take off your helmet so I can help you see what type of cold you have?" There was clearly no aggressiveness in Nia's tone. Her voice was smooth but revealed a determination not to give up, as if she would not give up until she caught Fate's tail today.
"Miss Nia, do you have any urgent matters to deal with?"
"Urgent matter? No." Ignoring the presiding judge who was hesitant to speak behind her, Nia spoke without thinking.
"Okay, you're fine, I am." Fate straightened his helmet.
"Is it urgent?"
"Well, it's urgent, personal business, let's just say goodbye." It was the best excuse to escape. Without being completely sure of his identity, she couldn't be so shameless as to follow him about his personal business, right?
"Is it related to this child?" Nia asked before Fate took two steps.
"............." Fate did not answer, but paused. "What?"
"If you encounter any trouble, I will help you unconditionally." Nia said calmly and firmly with a faint smile on her lips. "No matter in the past, present, or future."
"........."
Nia's implication was clear.
She expressed her willingness to help Reed, but what was Fate's identity in asking for her help?
The answer is obvious.
At the same time, she also stated bluntly that she had already figured out Fate's identity, but she had not yet gotten the final confirmation.
Even if I get rid of her today, she will still get to the bottom of it afterwards. As a royal knight and the queen's personal bodyguard, she might even report the matter to Queen Beatrice.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fate touched his helmet expressionlessly.
He's obviously retired.
They decided not to get involved with people or things from the past, and within two months they were recognized by their own apprentices.
What is coming cannot be avoided.
"Reed, how about you go back today? Give me a few days." Fate leaned over and touched Reed's head.
".......Okay." Reed was sandwiched between the two people. As an outsider, he could not understand their conversation at all. In fact, he had wanted to leave a long time ago.
He looked at Nia behind him, then looked at Fate, and left alone.
"Mr. Fate, have you decided on dinner?" Seeing Fate dismissing Reed, Nia walked up to Fate and stood shoulder to shoulder, acting very familiar.
"No."
"Then come with me. I know a restaurant nearby with good environment and good food."
"Well, please lead the way." Fate nodded.
Hearing this, Nia's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that by saying this, Fate was admitting her identity.
Although she was very sure that the person in front of her was Fate, she still found it a little hard to believe.
After all, she was present when Fate was buried.
Even after confirming Fate's identity, she still couldn't understand how Fate was resurrected and how he crawled out of the grave.
Moreover, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the feeling her master gave her had changed a little from before.
The tone was a little softer than before.
one-one-one-one-one-one
The two walked to a restaurant decorated like a palace.
Fate knew that this restaurant was a chain restaurant called "Shenfei Neon". It was very famous throughout the empire. Even many nobles would choose this restaurant to entertain guests. It was a high-end restaurant.
When he was still a knight, Fate had eaten here often, and the taste and quality of the dishes were indeed excellent.
After he stopped becoming a knight, Fate, who had no money and was an illegal resident, naturally had no chance to enter Japan.
As a well-known national chain restaurant, the interior decoration of Shenfei Nihong stores in different regions is similar, and Fit finally had the chance to indulge in it after a long time.
Nia handed her knight's notarization to the waiter at the restaurant door for inspection.
If you want to have a meal at this kind of high-end restaurant, you can't just spend money, you also have to meet this social status threshold.
"Your Excellency, the Honorable Knight of the Palace, please come in." After returning the knight's certificate to Nia, the two servants bowed respectfully and welcomed the two in.
Chapter 34: 33~He and She
Fate looked around and saw the floor paved with silk and satin, and the sofas made of fine silk. Two bottles of red wine were placed on the dining table. The soft light from the crystal chandelier was reflected on the precious oil paintings, and the flickering candlelight on the silver table added a touch of beauty to the atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Shenfei Nihong's top-level private rooms is really good. As soon as you step into one of them, you will be overwhelmed by the air of luxury.
Such a private room should be very luxurious and expensive, at least not affordable for ordinary people. However, he had always been treated to meals by others before, so he never paid much attention to the price.
Fate looked at Nia, who was sitting across from the jade table.
Booking a private room instead of meeting in the lobby means that the other party has a lot to say to you.
Fate silently watched Nia hand the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left and closed the door, the room returned to a silence where you could clearly hear a nail falling.
"Now, can you take off your helmet?" Nia stared at the sight in the gap of the helmet. Although she was absolutely sure, she still needed a definite answer.
"............." There is no benefit in continuing to conceal it. Besides, my identity has been discovered. The pendant given by Christine cannot simulate anyone other than myself. It is better to confess everything.
So, after hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, slowly placed his ten fingers in front of the helmet, and slowly took off the helmet.
"Master..." Nia stood up with her eyes wide open. "It's really you?!"
The voice was filled with joy and surprise, but at the same time, there was also a hint of confusion.
Master, how come you are getting younger and younger? .........
Nia was suspicious. She had seen Fate's true face many times. Time had left traces on his face. The face in front of her was indeed her master's, but...
He looks so young, just like the master from twenty years ago, a handsome young man in his prime.
While Nia was pleasantly surprised to have her conjecture verified, she was also filled with confusion.
For example, how did Fate win the resurrection match, why did he become younger after winning the resurrection match, and why did Fate not go back to continue his position after being resurrected, but instead stayed in a marginal city and became a clergyman?
Nia couldn't understand why all this happened. She had always been a relatively calm person. After her joy, she looked at Fate with a questioning look.
Of course Fate knew that Nia had many questions for him, and he would answer them one by one. After all, he was still counting on her to keep secrets for him.
"Well, long time no see." After thinking it over, Fate didn't know what to say to his apprentice after a long separation. It took him a long time to utter a simple greeting.
He has no eloquence.
"You, you really didn't... die?" The word "death" was on the tip of her tongue. Nia thought for a moment and changed it to a more polite way of saying it.
Fate shook his head slightly.
How could it be? .........Could it be that the person at the funeral was not his master?
No, Nia was sure that the person buried by Queen Beatrice herself was Fate herself, there was no mistake about it.
But why?
"You seem to have a lot of questions." Seeing Nia's hesitation to ask, Fate said directly. "Ask if you want to."
"Master, how did you resurrect? And how did you get outside?" After Fate said this, Nia no longer held back.
That's right, Nia was not only curious about how Fate was resurrected, but also how he escaped from the royal mausoleum.
"I wasn't dead in the first place. I used some tricks to get out of the mausoleum." Fate didn't say it clearly, but Nia understood the details after hearing it. The other party didn't want to say it clearly.
"Since you are still alive, why don't you go back to see Her Majesty the Queen?" Nia asked the question that concerned her most.
“……….” Fate did not answer this question in time.
"Not meeting is good for her and for me." Fate gave an ambiguous answer.
"Let the past be the past. I am no longer a knight, let alone a Dawnbreaker Knight."
"You, don't plan to continue being a knight?" This surprised Nia. "Why? Do you feel that you have been treated unfairly? But now the continent has vindicated you, right?"
"The situation is very good now. No one needs the Dawnbreaker anymore, right?" Fate leaned back on the sofa and looked out the window. Her eyes were free and easy, which Nia had never seen before. "Everything is thriving and prosperous. In this peaceful era, the Dawnbreaker should retire after completing his mission."
Looking at Fate's expression, Nia realized that it was not a bad thing for Fate to be relieved of this important task. At least now, he looked much more relaxed than before, and there were no more wrinkles between his brows.
After several conversations, based on Fate's speech habits and body movements, Nia was sure that the young man in front of her who looked about the same age as her was her master, the Knight of Dawn.
No matter what kind of opportunity the other party got, he was resurrected, became younger, and was very satisfied with his current life.
