Chapter 85: Knight Lost

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Hong San said that there was a banquet tonight. Should he prepare?

Kang De was originally thinking that there was nothing to prepare for the banquet.

He knew now.

He also knew why Hannah said that she had to go back and prepare when she bade farewell.

“The daily job of noble ladies is to change clothes.”

The servant knocked on the door and brought the viscount’s invitation. The banquet of the Glory Sand Castle was about to begin. When he walked out of the door, he saw Tina walking out leisurely from next door. The girl was wearing a white dress that held up the gorgeous skirt layer by layer. Her chest was charmingly white, and a sapphire necklace was decorated.

The noble girl raised her skirt and bowed to him. Her posture was beautiful and charming.

Speaking of Hannah’s visit just now, Tina said with a smile.

According to her, the etiquette and rules of the Empire were so complicated that they made one’s hair stand on end. Not only were they complicated, but they were also even copied from the elves. Over the years, it was unknown how many ladies and gentlemen had secretly criticized them—elves had long lives and were extremely patient. They had plenty of time to torture themselves. Wouldn’t humans be looking for trouble if they copied them?

However, although they criticized silently and complained, the elves’ aesthetics still dominated the popular trend on the continent. As long as this situation did not change, the ladies would still endure this long process.

This was because the noble ladies had plenty of time.

To put it simply, if the wives and socialites of the Empire spent a total of six hours a day changing their clothes and dressing up, this meant that the husbands and gentlemen of the Empire would obtain a total of six hours of leisure every day. This was simply a wonderful gift given by the gods. Just this alone was enough to make the great nobles of the Empire ignore the calls and suggestions of the scholars to improve their etiquette.

Of course, this excuse was more like a joke in the noble circle.

At least when Tina mentioned this, Kang De smiled very happily.

“At the very least, Goethe has much fewer etiquette and rules than the Empire. This is also the reason why the nobles of the Empire look down on us… After all, we’re in the countryside.”

Tina first mocked herself, then showed Kang De her dress and frowned. “However, ever since I set foot on the land of the Empire, it means that I’ll start to deal with these dresses and clothes. I still have to buy them during my stay in the Glory Sand Castle…”

When she said this, Kang De recalled what had happened.

He asked, “I went out earlier and returned to find that you were not around. Did you go to look for the viscount?”

Tina glanced at Hong San, who was following far behind, and nodded. “Yes, I’ve told him about that matter. He’s very surprised and agrees to cooperate. After all, this is a matter that concerns the survival of the world.”

Kang De asked again, “Then how many days do we have to stay here?”

Tina did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at Kang De. “Not used to this place?”

Kang De hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes, for some reason, I feel a little awkward. Perhaps it’s because of what happened at the dock… or it’s also because of me.”

He would definitely not let go of his guard easily, let alone what had happened… He looked around warily and must have obtained vigilance and uneasiness.

Tina looked troubled.

Seeing this, Kang De said, “Don’t mind it. I’m not used to living here, so I’ll return to the ship and stay. There are many people there, so it’s easier… Go do your thing.”

Tina thought for a moment and said, “Kang De, originally, after arranging various matters and replenishing ourselves, we can immediately set off on a ship and not stay here. If we have to wait for the rumors about the curtain to ferment, we can float on the sea for a few more days. However, in the afternoon, I’ve already sent the spatial coordinates to my aunt through the Eternal Peace Protection and let her know our location. She’s about to rush over to meet us…”

Kang De’s expression changed. “Your aunt?”

“Yes, yes!”

Tina looked worshipful and expectant. It seemed that she was on good terms with her aunt.

“She cultivates in the War God City all year round. A huge battle broke out between Goethe and the elves, so she wanted to return to the country to help in the battle. However, Father thinks that the danger of my trip is not inferior to the main battlefield, so he wants Aunt to accompany me to the capital first. However, time is tight. If I set off after she returns to Goethe, it’ll waste a lot of time for no reason, so I made an appointment with her. I’ll set off by sea from Goethe, and she’ll set off from the War God City and meet in the Empire.”

Tina explained concisely, “When I arrive in the Empire, I can use the Eternal Peace Protection my aunt gave me to send a signal to her. She’ll definitely sense it.”

The girl pointed at the sapphire on her chest. “This is it.”

Kang De followed her finger.

The resplendent sapphire looked even more charming under the contrast of her snow-white and exquisite skin.

Wow…

In Kang De’s eyes, this dazzling sapphire shone with pure elemental brilliance. Various elements formed complicated array diagrams, one after another. It was far more complicated than any enchanted equipment he had seen before. In terms of value, it must be far higher than enchanted equipment like the Crimson Blood Flame Edge.

Moreover, he saw another element he had never seen before.

“…Kang De!”

The obsessed guy, who was focused on studying the composition, was called back to the human world by the beauty’s coquettish voice.

Tina covered the skin on her chest and glared at Kang De shyly.

—I say, did you misunderstand something?

Thankfully, Kang De knew what he was doing and did not say this out loud. He said seriously, “Eternal Peace Protection… This must be an impressive magic equipment.”

However, he was more interested in another function of this equipment. “It can send messages?”

The princess replied, “It’s not really a message. At most, it’s a location. This is because the Eternal Peace Protection is in a set with the other accessory in Aunt’s hand. The owners can sense each other’s location…”

She saw Kang De’s eyes looking around. For some reason, her face turned red. She covered the sapphire necklace and said to him, “I can’t give you this…”

“Of course, of course.” Kang De did not want to ask for it. “I’m just a little curious…”

“I can’t give it to you even if you’re curious,” Tina muttered softly. “The other thing is…”

“…What?”

“Nothing!”

Looking at Tina’s figure jogging downstairs, Kang De was puzzled.

How should he put it… When he first saw Tina, this girl was elegant, intellectual, and noble. She negotiated and talked to Kang De, making him feel as comfortable as a spring breeze. However, at some point, she would occasionally throw a tantrum. Sometimes, she would be inexplicably shy or angry. He really did not understand.

Since the princess had run, Head Maid Bedolla, who was following far behind, quickly ran forward. She turned to look at Kang De and said, “Lord Kang De, you’re more like the Grand Duke. This is a good thing.”

Kang De was puzzled, “Ah?”

Head Maid Bedolla bowed to him and followed Tina.

The temporary lackey, Hong San, also came over.

He waited until the princess and the maidservant walked away and said, “Master, could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to this princess?”

Kang De glanced at him. “It’s none of your business.”

Hong San whispered, “It’s not that I want to say this, but Master, it’s better for us Easterners to marry women of our race.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Why? Do you think she’s not worthy of me?”

“It’s not a question of whether she’s worthy…” Hong San hesitated for a moment as if he had thought of something. He hesitated and said, “Master is kind and treats me well. I only want to say that this barbaric princess is beautiful, but you’re too close to her. I’m afraid something will happen…”

Kang De turned around and said, “What do you mean?”

Hong San shook his head and did not answer.

“I hate people who don’t finish their sentences the most in my life.” Kang De glared at him and said, “Say it.”

Hong San was in a difficult position.

“Since you want to tell me, don’t worry. What’s the problem? Let me get prepared in advance. I won’t suffer a loss in the future and will remember your kindness.”

Kang De was in a foreign land and was extremely wary. When he heard Hong San’s words, he could not help but take them to heart. He said, “Tell me about it. I’m wary and won’t betray you. Not only that, I’ll remember your kindness and give you a sum of money, but if you don’t say it…”

He smiled at Hong San.

“Forget it, forget it. Master, if I tell you, you can’t snitch on me.”

Hong San gritted his teeth and looked at Kang De. He smiled obsequiously and said, “Also…”

Kang De rolled his eyes and threw the entire money bag over. “Tell me.”

Hong San took the money bag and weighed it in his hand. His face was as brilliant as a chrysanthemum blooming as he said directly, “Master, it’s like this. I’ve been in this line of work for a long time and am used to observing people’s expressions. Previously, at the docks, the eldest son of the Viscount family had been sizing you up, especially when you stood side by side with that foreign princess and sat in the same carriage. His gaze was a little terrifying. Although it retracted at a touch, I still saw it.”

At this point, he could not help but praise himself, “It’s not that I want to say this, but my observation skills…”

Kang De ignored this nonsense.

Eldest Young Master.

In other words… that Knight Lost?

His impression of this eldest son of the viscount was only limited to a knight who did not show his emotions. Be it welcoming Goethe and the others or the argument that erupted at the dock, everyone on the dock had different expressions. Only this Knight Lost looked nonchalant as if everything had nothing to do with him.

But he looked at him?

Especially when he was with Tina?

What the hell? Did he treat him as a love rival?

When he asked Hong San, Hong San did not know either. He only discovered that the usually calm Eldest Young Master looked wrong, and that was all…

“I understand.”

Kang De patted Hong San’s shoulder. “Thank you for your reminder.”

He was a little unhappy.

It was really baffling.

In such a mood, he and Hong San walked down the stairs and arrived at the dining room on the first floor. The butler was already waiting at the door and respectfully invited him in. There was already someone in the room.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the corridor, “Kang De!”

Kang De turned and saw Cleveland. He smiled and walked over quickly. “You go…”

Immediately after, his smile froze.

This was because there was a relatively clear bruise on the knight’s face.

Kang De’s voice turned cold. “Who hit you?”

Cleveland shook his head and said, “It’s Knight Lost… It happened when sparring. A small injury is fine.”

He pulled Kang De aside and said in a low voice, “This is not important. What’s important is that during the sword competition, Lost asked me about you. This is very unusual… Because he’s very proud and usually won’t be interested in mundane matters. I keep feeling that something was wrong…”

Kang De’s heart skipped a beat.

If it was only Hong San’s one-sided words, it was still suspicious. However, since Cleveland had said so, it meant that Knight Lost… was really problematic.

F*ck.

He did not find trouble, but trouble actually came knocking on his door.

Anger rose in Kang De’s heart, and the knight pulled him back with a serious expression. He said in a low voice, “Kang De, you have to remember that you can’t tell anyone about the princess using the Knighting Ceremony on you! You can’t let anyone know, understand?”
