We stood in front of the carriage's route, each holding the sword tied around our waists, ready to take action at any time.

"If you want to avoid hurting the horse in front, you can only cut off the connection area next to the driving."

Zier pulled out his slender sword, with exquisite patterns on it, and the sword body still shone in the night.

That sword is the treasure of the Torede family heirloom, symbolizing that it was once a proof of the nobles, and it is called "Yaoan".

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a sword forged by mixing into a special ore. Its lethality is not particularly outstanding, and maintenance is even more troublesome, but it can be sold at a good price.

The carriage drove straight towards us, and I pulled out the "very ordinary" iron sword at my waist and put it on my chest to pose.

"It's coming! Yak."

"oh!"

Just as we were about to rush forward, the carriage suddenly changed direction and ran towards the residents gathered by the pool to watch the fun. The crowd shouted in panic and scattered, leaving a little ghost behind, standing foolishly, staring at the rampage carriage running towards him.

"Yak, please give me the carriage!"

Before I could react, Zier had already put away Yaohan and ran straight towards the boy.

“Received!”

I was half a beat late to catch up, so I quickly changed the route to predict the new path the carriage would pass, and looked back from time to time to pay attention to Zier's situation and the remaining distance of the carriage.

Fortunately, before the carriage hit, Zier hugged the child and jumped into the pool. Both of them were safe.

"Very good, the next thing is these two guys who are rampant."

"Hey, let's go!"

The carriage was about to push past me a second before, and I jumped up hard, and amid the screams of everyone, it just landed next to the carriage.

"Boy, this is very dangerous. Don't jump up suddenly!"

"I want to ask you, how did you make horses crazy? They won't be protesting overtime work, right?"

"I won't abuse my horses. They just ran into a shaking black shadow on the way here, and somehow they suddenly went crazy."

The elderly chariot tried hard to pull the reins, but in the end he could not control the horse.

Rather than being crazy, it looks more like running away.

The shadows are everywhere in the night, and this reason is really not convincing at all.

"Anyway, you're free."

I swung my sword to cut off the connection, and the carriage fell on the street with a sound of touching, and the two horses who had regained their freedom ran forward until the sound of horse hooves disappeared in the distance.

Because things were resolved smoothly, I jumped out of the carriage and prepared to leave, but the carriage grabbed my clothes.

"Boy, the two excellent war horses have a total of seventy gold coins."

"It's obviously a bastard, I want to take the opportunity to cheat me--No! Why should I pay you!?"

Just as I was arguing with the coachman, Zi Er's whole body was wet and appeared beside me in a mess.

There were warm cheers and applause everywhere, but for me at this moment, I was not happy at all, because the interview at the other end of the hotel had come to an end and my sweat over the past few years was burned.

I also lost it, the only chance to return to the princess...

"Raise your chest, Yak, at least we have managed to stop this commotion, you should be proud."

Zier, who couldn't hide his lost, tried to say something to comfort me.

"I know... it's definitely the right thing to do..."

My throat was dry, and tears almost burst out from my eyes, and my eyes gradually lost focus.

The disbanded team became a crowd of onlookers, and the soldiers holding the flag also followed Matadra back to the castle, leaving only the pain that deeply penetrated the heart.

Zi Er, who wanted to speak but stopped, finally decided to let me calm down alone and retreat to the side silently.

I clearly know, and I know how much I yearn for it.

Even so, I still cannot go against the way of the knight in my heart.

"That-"

As time passed by minute by minute, the pain in my heart gradually spread like ripples.

That's right, since the day ten years ago, I have vowed to be an excellent knight.

I never forgot the powerlessness that day; the weak self that day.

"Sorry--"

I didn't expect that ten years later, I would still be so useless.

I don't even have the qualifications to return to you...

"Excuse me-"

There seemed to be sparse voices coming from behind, but I didn't have any extra thoughts to care.

There must be some other way, after all, there is no way out!

In short, I can only go back first and plan for a long time while growing potatoes.

"Please pay attention to my side!"

The corner of my clothes was suddenly pulled down hard, which forced me to turn my head to check.

"What are you doing? Zier, can't you see that I'm suffering in my heart?"

Strangely, Zi Er wrung his hair next to him.

"Go down, Mr. Scar."

I moved my eyes down, and what caught my eye was a female orc wearing a bright red maid, white straps, and brown hair and shoulders. She was only taller than my chest. I had to take a step back to see her full picture.

Generally speaking, except for the unique body odor of animals and the abnormal sense of smell, orcs have no difference in facial features from humans. However, their physical strength is far different. Some powerful orcs can even fly away from walls.

That's all I know about orcs. This is the first time I've talked to orcs. From the pair of raised ears, she should be a cat - or a dog?

As if I had seen through my thoughts, the other party said with a slight smile:

"It's a fox."

"Ahem, then this Miss Fox, is there anything you have to do?"

Could it be that even God will deprive him of the time he secretly feels sad?

"The heroic performances of the two just now are really admirable."

The person was talking to me, but his eyes were fixed on Zi Er.

Ah~ That's it. Because Zi Er is too handsome and dare not come forward to talk to him, he took the opportunity to get close to the follower next to him, which is not uncommon.

Swaying with her furry tail under her skirt, the fox girl turned around and introduced herself in a vibrant voice:

"Hello, my name is Amy, and I am the princess's personal servant."

"Princess's...a personal waitress?"

"Yes, I'm the person who is responsible for taking care of the princess' daily life. From waking the princess to changing clothes for her in the morning to testing the drug before the meal, I'm all done by myself!"

Amy, who looked smug, put her hands on her hips, straightened her back and raised her face high.

Try the poison... I guess I can see you now, which means no one wants to poison the princess.

"Yak, who is this lovely lady?"

Noting that our Zir came from beside him and politely saluted Amy.

Zier, you will be so charming that many girls passing by like a lotus, do you know? Fortunately, there are no pedestrians on the street, otherwise the couple of adorable eyes along the way back will make my depressed mood even more fallen to the bottom.

"Hello! I am the princess's personal waitress, and my name is Amy!"

A faint blush spread on Amy's face, her tail swings at high speed under her skirt.

Okay, Zier, I will give it to you in full next time. I no longer have the strength to accompany you those uninvited romantic encounters.

"I'm glad to know you, please wait a moment."

Zier's expression with a kind smile seemed a little distorted. He grabbed my arm and dragged me to the side to ask questions.

"Yak, no matter what, you can't use such despicable means. I really misread you."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Zier's eyes were filled with suspicion and contempt.

"Do you want to bribe her and plead with her? Or you'll ask her to recommend a job so that you can enter the castle. I want to declare in advance that there is no extra money to lend you. I really want to repair the roof."

"Wait a minute, what are you talking nonsense!?"
