Forever Guardian Knight 13th

The Revival of 13th Grandal

Although the plan was to hold a garden party two days later, it was delayed for another two days for unknown reasons. It was not until the fifth day that Xilu and others received the Queen's summoning order. Naturally, it would make people say, "Your Majesty must have been furious because of our affairs, so it is now The idea of summoning us...

Xilu and others knelt in front of the queen, still full of uneasiness and even fear. In any case, this incident can't be described as "serious" because of her own impulse. From the fatigue on Selysia's face, you can guess how much effort she has spent to clean up the mess for herself in the past two days... However, there is nothing else on the queen's face except fatigue, which makes Xi reveal her heart. He was even more nervous until the queen seemed to sigh and stood up:

"Everyone... Welcome back to Haier Milan safely. I am more happy to see everyone return to this royal city unharmed. Xilu, my dearest friend, thank you for your hard work.

"No... Your Majesty's praise really makes me ashamed. Your Majesty is so tolerant of a person like me who has made a big mistake... I am really grateful for the rest of my life."

Sericia's face faded slightly, and it was obvious that the unhappiness caused by the incident still didn't surround her heart. But she quickly changed to a tolerant smile:

"After all, I gave you the maximum power, so I can't completely blame you for this... And in the face of the situation at that time and Gustav's strength, you have no choice. Now that this problem has been properly dealt with, you don't have to worry about it, everyone. Moreover, if I can't even help my most loyal friend, what a dereliction of duty and incompetence as a queen... Please get up first."

After Xilu and others got up, Selysia motioned Gerard and Lena to go down and rest first, while Xilu and loyd sat aside according to the Queen's instructions. The queen then waved to the attendants standing next to her, waiting for them to leave the hall and close the door, then turned to loyd and nodded:

"Mr. loyd, thank you for your hard work this time. It really impressed me that you led the reinforcements all the way through the enemy's blockade and successfully succeeded His Excellency Lyon to command the Haier Milan army to return triumphantly.

"You are flattered... All this is the credit of Xilu. She commanded the army and achieved many results as a queen. I just acted as an ordinary adjutant beside her..."

"Even this is enough. And I also know my friends. Although Xilu has enough courage and strength, she is not as proficient in combat strategy as you, so you don't have to be humble for your achievements. Based on your credit, I must give corresponding rewards..."

"Reward?"

Silu turned her head and looked at loyd and saw that the other party was just silent, so she stood up to respond instead of loyd:

"The last reward was based on various difficulties, and finally took Agvilo as a reward for Roed. What did Her Majesty's plan this time? Don't you still want to find something that can be substituted?"

"Can't you trust me, Miss Xilu?"

"Please forgive me for my rudeness... But I really can't believe Her Majesty. It should be said that I just don't believe that you will really have any suitable reward for loyd. We didn't make any mistakes last time, and that's all loyd got. This time we are all guilty. Can Her Majesty still remove the obstacles of the ministers and make an exceptional move?

"The obstacles of the ministers... This is the root of all the facts."

Selysia nodded and sat down on the throne:

"This is the reason why we failed to give a reasonable reward to loyd before. It's not that loyd's meritorious deeds are not enough to accept my established gifts, but that those stubborn guys have been adhering to the boring but realistic definition of the so-called 'bloodline' and refusing civilian knights like him to jump among the aristocracy. Although my father, Rollinforth and Rumile have been working hard to eliminate this obstacle, they have not been able to achieve the desired effect in just a few decades. This is also a reality that makes me feel helpless..."

"That's right. And if Her Majesty forcibly insists on her own opinion, it will be regarded by the ministers as hostile to the nobles of the whole Hermira, which is really a resistance that cannot be despised..."

"So, it is not easy to completely break this bad reality by relying on one or two monarchs. I can only gradually change it within a limited scope, until the end... or rely on my descendants to completely eliminate this reality that will only make history go back. With the rotten idea of 'noble blood can determine all glory', Haier Milan will only go to inevitable despair. ."

"You're right..."

"So I need trusted friends as my most loyal assistants. First of all, they must be young people like me, and the definition of aristocracy is not as deep-rooted as their fathers... I want to use their strength to shake the cornerstone of the whole of Heil Milan with me."

"Such young people...such as the college's swordsmen's group?"

"And you and your loyal knight, Xilu. Of course, not only that, but I also tried to win the strength I could win... just like His Excellency Farn, the eldest son of General Lannold, and so on. Maybe you don't know how many young nobles I have had interest-based deals with during my departure, and even I myself feel a little crazy..."

"But you are for the future of Haier Milan. For this reason alone, your actions are enough to be meaningful enough to pass on to future generations, Your Majesty."

Xilu bent down respectfully, which was a completely sincere gift:

"So... please get back to the topic. Does this reward for loyd also have some special significance?"

"That's natural and reasonable. If I can't give such a reward, I can't express my respect for this young knight. Loyd, although you are the knight of Xilu... What you have done is not only to protect your master, but also to protect Haier Milan invisibly. First of all, I am very grateful for this.

"You flatter your Majesty... I'm actually not as great as you said. For a long time, I have just adhered to the duties of the guardian knight, and the object I guard is only Xilu. The whole kingdom of Haier Milan is like nothing to me, and I have never even considered her existence. Therefore, it is not too much for you to give me any rewards.

"Lo...loyd! How can you be so rude in front of Her Majesty!"

Surprised by the other party's speech, Xilu quickly stopped his words and scolded him in a low voice, but Selysia did not show any anger, but with a little shameful apology:

"Although your words are rude, I won't blame you for this... Haier Milan owes you too much, and I can't easily compensate you..."

"Please don't impose the past history on yourself, Your Majesty. No matter how my family is treated, it is not your fault, and I will not pass on the family's resentment on you. As long as I can stay with Xilu, I won't care about any reward, and my wish is just that.

"loyd..."

Xilu was over the other party's true feelings, and Selysia couldn't help showing a doubtful look:

"Is it really just such a wish? As long as you can accompany Xilu?"

"That's enough... Indeed, I once worked hard for the family, whether I struggled to survive when I was young or continued to accept the dangerous task of fighting monsters when I grew up... At that time, everything I had was the reputation of the family. But after meeting Xilu, everything is no longer as simple as before..."

"Do you think... the efforts made in the past for the reputation of the family are just 'simple'?"

"Because at that time, I knew that in fact, this was an impossible ideal, and I insisted on it just out of a momentary obsession. If you want to use more appropriate words, it is 'to comfort the parents' dead'. However, it was not until I met Xilu that I understood what I really should do... Because Xilu has never despised me because of my identity, and even handed over her future to me... Isn't that enough?"

"So it is... It's really enviable, Xilu."

Serihia's smile is full of relief and jealousy:

"I also want to firmly grasp such a dream of being able to stay with my beloved forever. However, every step I take will be one point away from the ideal result, which is really indescribably sad."

"Your Majesty is talking about... about Prince Lutwin?"

"Luthvin has become a king. As his lover, I certainly don't want him to lose to Gustav in the civil war, but when he becomes the real king, our love will end, right? Because we can't take a kingdom to stay together... However, if he loses to Gustav, it means that his life is not in order, then I still can't find him, so... My love with Lutvin may have come to an invisible end, and both of us have dared to go. Just face it. Thinking about it this way, won't you two feel that you two are really very happy?

"But... Her Majesty should also try to do something! Even if he can't directly intervene in Silas's civil war, at least it helps Prince Lutwin win or something..."

"It's a pity that you can think of that kind of thing that can't be done. All I can do now is wait for a message."

“......”

Xilu sat down with regret. In fact, she knew that the final result must be that Rutvin won the civil war, because Gustav had already revealed that he wanted to transfer power to his nephew. However, the real problem also follows... How can the monarchs of the two kingdoms combine? Unless one of them gives up their own country... Is this also an incredible and unjustified choice?

So Her Majesty is doomed not to enjoy happiness... So her jealousy of me is real and pure.

Xilu sighed faintly in her heart, and Selysia suddenly stood up again:

"Mr. loyd... Although you have expressed your attitude so much, the reward for you is out of my resolution. As you know, the resolution of the king of a country cannot be cancelled. So today I still want to tell you everything I'm going to give you. First of all... I'm going to personally hold a wedding for the two of you after the war in Silas ends and the countries return to peace.

"...Huh?"

Xilu, who couldn't react for a moment, stayed in the seat at a loss, and Selysia blinked at her:

"You two should not refuse this gift anyway, right? I will personally propose an engagement to the Marquis Rams, so Mr. loyd doesn't have to worry about many problems, as long as he is at ease with your engagement.

"Wait...wait! About the engagement or something... It's too sudden!"

"Don't you want to, Xilu?"

"I... I didn't mean that! I just think..."

"Since that's not what you mean, it means that you at least have no intention to object, right? Don't worry, it will take a few months to hold this engagement ceremony, because the war will not calm down so easily. You two have enough time to think and prepare, and then you won't feel anything sudden, Xilu.

"Yes... Thank you, Her Majesty. Nah...loyd, do you think..."

"All my decisions are based on your heart, Xilu. If I were to do it out of my heart... In fact, I had already proposed to you to the Marquis Rams, didn't I?"

"Ah...hmm..."

Maybe because of the sudden incident, I still felt a little uneasiness in my heart, but after all, this was also the result of my ideal... So Xilu still nodded shyly and agreed. After Selysia expressed her sincerity to congratulate the two, her face suddenly became serious:

"Well, for this reason, it is impossible not to do the second thing. Lord loyd, I want to officially restore your knighthood, and all the records of your family will be eliminated. This resolution will not be changed again. Even if you reject it, it must be implemented.

"Why..."

Silo's reaction was more intense than loyd's, and she almost jumped up:

"Restored's knighthood... doesn't that mean..."

"I have said in the past that after loyd returns to his official position, he will be relieved of the guardian knight. This is true, but if you can't sacrifice for your knight, how can your love be guaranteed? Why will your future marriage be stabilized?

"Your Majesty... What does this mean?"

"You have always maintained the friendship and love between you based on the principle of 'guardian knight'. It seems that you have not really considered it. Your future must first be based on the laws of 'men' and 'woman', and based on the premise of 'Loed' and 'Ciro' to make you understand better. You have to treat and maintain your relationship equally, otherwise even if you become husband and wife, you can't really enjoy the true meaning of love and marriage. If you want to do this, you must first break through the shackles brought to you based on the oath... Can you understand what I say?

After meditating for a moment, the two nodded together, and Xilu knelt down on one knee with sincere gratitude to the queen:

"What the queen means... I understand. Indeed, as you said, I have always bound loyd as a 'guardian knight' and simply let loyd guard me like this for me... But this alone is not enough. In fact, I have been puzzled about it. It was not until today that I finally heard your majesty's inspiration. Understand where my real mistake is. I need loyd, but what I really need is to be my most trustworthy loyd himself, not as the guardian knight... Therefore, I will not have any objection to your majesty's will.

"So...what about Mr. loyd?"

"If Your Majesty allows me to continue to maintain the essence of the Guardian Knight after restoring my official position, then I will accept your Majesty's gift."

"What does it mean to maintain the essence of the Guardian Knight?"

"I'm afraid that the vows made in front of the goddess and the statue of Roward can't be erased so easily, otherwise we will be punished by the gods, right? Therefore, after the name 'Guardian Knight' is cancelled, I must continue to maintain this substantive identity... This is the only request I make to Your Majesty."

"You mean... even if you restore the title of knight, you don't want to be me and become a knight of the kingdom?"

"It's not unwillingness, but rejection."

Sericia was surprised by loyd's answer and inevitably had a trace of anger. She turned her inquiring eyes to Xilu, who was kneeling aside, but Xilu's face only showed happiness. This happy look seemed to show the Queen:

I will respect your will, but I will also respect loyd's intention. If I have to make a choice, I will definitely stand on loyd's side...

Predicting that the general trend was gone, Selysia sighed heavily and gave up her original persistence:

"In that case... I grant your request. Moreover, at least I also think that Xilu should understand what kind of background her future husband is. As an aristocrat, this is the only thing that must be strictly observed. Mr. loyd, now please tell Xilu your identity, I hope..."

"No, Your Majesty, all this is no longer important. For me... as long as it's loyd, that's enough."

"You are already crazy because of loyd! Do you think it doesn't matter, that is to say, I don't have to restore the family name for loyd? That's not true! Do I have to give in again and again because of your madness?

Sericia finally understood that she showed her anger and changed into an irrevocable look:

"I have always trusted you as friends, so I have always tolerated everything you do in front of me... However, please don't be complacent or even do whatever you want! Is the king's will so easy to decide and change? And based on the laws we should follow, some things cannot be easily avoided! If you continue to refuse my will, then I can only punish you in accordance with Haier Milan's law!"

Although Xilu still looked disapproving, she finally nodded out of respect for the queen:

"Then do it according to Her Majesty's will."

"In this case, Mr. Loed... Please tell Xilu your true identity. This will be a great step for you today and the first cornerstone laid for the future."

Loide was silent for a moment and knelt down on one knee:

"My name is LOYD, RANDAL, the third son of Duke Flos Grandall, who was slandered on charges of rebellion and deprived of all the family's name. Because my childhood made me escape the fate of being killed... Maybe that's the first step for the gods to let me meet you.

"Her Majesty Selysia is coming!"

With the loud announcement of the attendants, Selysia's figure appeared in the corridor. The nobles who were talking or enjoying wine and food in the garden stopped their ongoing activities and saluted the queen. The queen waved in response to their greetings, signaling everyone to be free to be free. The nobles then returned to their original activity, and several young noble youths dared to toast the queen. Selysia agreed without hesitation, so they were soon surrounded by the young nobles.

"It's really popular... Your Majesty."

"Maybe this is the queen's strategy... If you want to attract available young nobles, you have to put down your airs to deal with them... That's why you do this."

"Although it's really hard to do this... it's also based on a great ideal. Her Majesty has indeed changed... so much that we can't easily recognize it.

"Like you... After the power of 'Blenxiud' awakens, it will mature quickly, right? Now Her Majesty is a monarch with real wisdom and strategy. Although this will make us feel strange and even afraid, this is the necessary rule for a monarch.

Loed and Xi Lubian talked in a low voice, avoiding the crowd and crossing the corridor. Although there are the clusters of flowers in the garden, they are not fully reflected in their eyes, because at this moment they only have each other in their eyes...

"By the way... why aren't you surprised when you know my identity? My surname was once synonymous with conspiracy and evil for Haile Milan, so it was blocked to death..."

"But it turned out that your father was just framed. Isn't that enough? Of course, I'm really surprised, but that's because I didn't expect you to be a prince, although I once thought about which declining noble family you came from... I was really shocked!"

"If I hadn't been forced to mention it today, I wouldn't even remember that I was a prince... On the contrary, the title of 'civilian knight' would make me feel warmer. And I also thank you for being deprived of the prince's identity... If I were still in my original noble status, I wouldn't have become your guardian knight, would I? In that way, everything will become a phantom of nothingness... But fortunately, the truth is the established law that cannot be changed.

"That's right... So I won't treat you as a prince, even if you become a king... You are also my guardian knight, which is also a fact that can never be changed. As long as I can have this fact, I can feel incomparable happiness, which is enough.

Xilu turned around in front of loyd with her hands on her back, with a more dazzling smile than the afternoon sun:

"It's really a pleasure to have insight into the truth... I'm really grateful to the Queen for her almost autocratic decision, which brings me a step closer to you. The Queen is right. We should not just live together as knights and masters, but must first understand that you are 'Loed' and I am 'Xilu'. As long as we can confirm such a fact with each other, there will be no distance in the future, right? Speaking of which, everyone in the swordsmen seems to be in that corner. Shall we go for a drink together? Otherwise, they will accuse us of being too indifferent to them because we only care about our own happiness!"
