City Guards?

Why are these people here to join in the fun?

At first, Count Dulin thought that the commotion caused by Liz when she arrested Sima had attracted the nearby city guards who were on routine patrol.

But there was one person who was wearing exquisite light armor engraved with silver patterns. Although his figure was not tall and burly in the tradition, his lean figure still gave people a sense of power.

Coupled with his weather-beaten face, he suddenly looked extremely capable, and it was immediately apparent that he was a powerful warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

There is probably only one such extremely charming middle-aged handsome man in the entire Huodian City.

"Commander Harvey, why are you here?"

Earl Dulin quickly stood up from his seat. This was a treatment that even Liz did not receive at the beginning.

After all, in the eyes of Count Dulin, one is just a little girl with nothing to show for her appearance, but the other is a true legend in Fire Code City, holding the strongest power of the Fire Code Knights.

"I received a report from an enthusiastic citizen, saying that there are lawless elements here disturbing the public order. As you know, Mr. Du Lin, Huodian City has been experiencing major incidents one after another in the past few days, so for your safety, I came here to lead a team to see

look."

Cough...Pfft...

After Harvey's words, Teddy couldn't hold back and coughed to cover up his laughter.

What a caring citizen!

As the only person present who knew the whole story, Teddy was left with infinite emotion in his heart. Although Teddy knew that the relationship between the two was different when his elder brother showed him Harvey's necklace the night before.

But... I didn't expect that the eldest brother would have such a strong relationship with Harvey, and he would call him whenever he asked!

Teddy knew it deep down, but others didn't.

Of course they didn't believe Harvey's lies about "enthusiastic citizens reporting".

Not only was Count Dulin's brain spinning rapidly, trying to determine Harvey's intention at this moment, but Liz was too.

The Knights have always been neutral and will not favor any party. This is the purpose of the Fire Code Knights. The knight's sword is only for the people of the entire Fire Code City.

But having said that, people's hearts will inevitably change, even for Harvey, the Knight Commander and Commander-in-Chief.

So, could it be said that...

Liz's eyes suddenly lit up.

Is it the father?

After he was kidnapped, his father was furious and mobilized all his forces to put pressure on the Knights. Faced with the anger of an earl, even Harvey had to pay attention.

And after learning that he had reappeared at the banquet, Harvey would rush over to check on himself without stopping?

Miss Liz's set of reasonable thoughts allowed her to analyze what happened in her imagination in just two or three seconds.

So after this...

This is an opportunity!

The eldest lady has a very clever mind.

Liz did not expect Harvey to speak for her. She only needed to create the appearance that Harvey was on her side, which was enough to put pressure on Count Dulin and force him to re-sign the gambling contract with Vivian.

As soon as she thought of this, Liz immediately walked towards Harvey.

"Sir Harvey, I'm so sorry that my father bothered you to come here specially for me."

Liz seemed to be apologizing, but in fact she was invisibly showing her position and relationship with Harvey to the nobles on Count Dulin's side.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Count Dulin's expression changed a bit.

Because indeed, it seemed that except for Liz, there was no one else present who could bring Harvey to the scene in person.

Unexpectedly, this yellow-haired girl actually used her kidnapping to tie Harvey into her camp...

hateful!

When Count Dulin cursed in his heart.

How could you have expected...

"Who are you?" Harvey asked the beautiful young girl in front of him who took the initiative to talk to him.

She looks familiar, but I can't remember her name right now. I guess she's the daughter of a big noble, right?

The scene fell into silence for a while.

The smile on Liz's lips froze in embarrassment.

But as a eldest lady, she still has the ability to adapt to situations.

"Lord Harvey, my name is Liz, and my father is Earl Thistle. I received your blessing at the coming-of-age ceremony not long ago."

When Liz said this, Harvey showed a look of reminiscence, and soon nodded to Liz as if he finally remembered.

"It turns out to be Miss Liz. I'm sorry, but a rough guy doesn't have a good memory. I hope Miss Li won't be offended."

"Huh? So, you have successfully escaped from the trap? Then it seems that there is no need to waste the power of the city guard on looking for you. Someone is here."

After Harvey finished speaking calmly, he called his subordinates to convey the order to withdraw the search and rescue forces.

It could be heard that the tone towards Liz was not very friendly.

This is not surprising.

Harvey originally had no good impression of the pedantic nobles. As a member of the nobles, Liz was no exception. Especially today, almost half of the city's guard force was asked to find an earl's daughter. Although Harvey did not

It’s easy to say anything, but actually I feel bored at the bottom of my heart.

Just like the original intention of the Fire Code Knights, the Knight's Sword is for the people of the entire Fire Code City, rather than as a domestic private soldier of a single noble.

Harvey never forgot this.

And this is actually the reason why he really appears here.

Looking across Liz, Harvey set his sights on a little girl who seemed to have been covered up since Liz appeared on the stage, with a very low sense of presence in the back, sitting upright.

"Vivian."

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Harvey took the initiative to call the little girl's name, and then walked over quickly under the eyes of everyone.

"How are you? Are you okay? Is the fundraising going well? Have you been bullied by others?" Three questions were asked in one breath.

Harvey looked concerned, as if he were a very protective elder.

Vivian showed a surprised expression at first, and then quickly shook her head subconsciously.

"No...it's okay, it's just in the middle...no, it's nothing. Anyway, thanks to Liz's help, everything is fine now. We are discussing with everyone."

Although the little girl said so, it was not difficult for Harvey to deduce from Vivian's pause in the middle and her somewhat shocked and dejected look that these nobles must not have let Vivian go.

An, maybe some dirty trick was used.

snort.

Harvey snorted coldly.

It's like an old father who sees his daughter being bullied.

Then I saw the chief commander of the Fire Order Knights directly moving a chair, deliberately making a loud noise on the way.

With a bang, he placed the chair next to Vivian, and sat down with the force of a sword.

"On such an important occasion, I, Harvey, am personally responsible for the safety here. You don't need to pay attention to me, just continue with your work."

this...

The nobles on Earl Dulin's side, you look at me, I look at you, it is not difficult to see that everyone's face is far away from the confident, relaxed and comfortable look before.

On the other hand, on Vivian's side, Teddy just barely clapped her hands, and Liz...

Wait a minute, Liz...

It was obviously beneficial to his side, but at this time, the earl's daughter pursed her lips, lowered her gaze slightly with her head.

"Liz, are you okay?" Vivian was very keenly aware of the strange behavior of the young lady around her.

The little girl looked concerned and pulled Liz's little hand.

"No...it's okay." Lifting her face covered by her hair, the young lady forced a smile.

But in fact, Liz's other hand, which was not held up by Vivian, was clenched into a fist a little tighter.

No one expected that Harvey actually came for Vivian.

When she thought about the thought she had just made and the corresponding performance, Liz felt like a clown.

Obviously, this young lady's self-esteem has been slightly affected.

However.

What Liz didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of tonight's "injury".

If Harvey's incident is just a "little" blow, then the next incident...
To be continued...
