Chapter 1 The Young Guardian Knight
Chapter 1: The Young Guardian Knight
"Oh! My beautiful princess..."
Well! It may sound like it's natural, but in fact, not all princesses are beauties in reality.
Indeed, the children of nobles and royal families have special maids to dress them up, which usually look more beautiful and gorgeous than the daughters of common people. Therefore, the word "princess" is usually used as a synonym for beauty. In modern society, aren't the winners of the last beauty pageant who will get a certain princess' crown? In traditional sense, this does conform to the impression in the people.
But when all the decorations on these beautiful girls are taken down. From the perspective of material, all the princesses are just ordinary people.
There are princesses who are born beautiful and charming, and of course there are princesses who are born really sorry to the audience. Although women who are chosen as princesses are usually beauties, and the probability of a beautiful child being a beauty is relatively high, the worst thing about all possibilities is that there is no absolute in the transmission of this excellent gene.
At this level, Princess Cocoli is the princess in the eyes of the common people.
It is delicate and beautiful, elegant and charming, elegant and beautiful, but innocent.
If you have to use one sentence to describe this princess appropriately, and look at the childishness and innocent smile that remained on her cheeks and corners of her eyes, then it would be more appropriate to say that she is cute than to say that she is cute.
His Highness Cocoli Mira Fastro, although he is the first princess of St. Ostan, this mixed-race girl of humans and orcs is very approachable and has no princess’ airs at all. Whenever he mentions His Highness, who is kind, gentle, lively and active, the residents of Portral will proudly call her "our most beautiful little flower", which shows how deeply this lovely princess is.
With a noble background, gentle personality, good appearance and elegant temperament, such an excellent princess is destined to be without suitors. Since Princess Cocoli was thirteen years old, young heroes have emerged one after another.
However, no matter who is, with any intention of approaching Cocoli, His Royal Highness the Princess treats everyone equally, but carefully keeps a certain distance, making all suitors think that they have a chance, but they can't see any hope.
Being gentle to anyone is sometimes cruel, especially to those arrogant elites.
Bardoren Serion is the most prominent example among them.
Bardolian, who had become a guardian knight in the Dorcada region of southern Dorcada at the age of only eighteen, had a martial arts that were inconsistent with his age, and his shrewd and capable mind made him stand out among many of his peers. While his other partners were still studying hard as a entourage to the great knights to be qualified as an apprentice knight, he had become the first guardian knight in history to be only eighteen years old.
But this is not without a price. In order to gain recognition from others, Bardolian left the prosperous capital Portal since he was sixteen and came to the strange southern territory of Dorcada alone. In the past two years, he experienced more battles than some people had experienced in ten years. Although it was just a common task to maintain regional public order, the bandits in the southern regions were famous for the fierceness of the country. In the past two years, Bardolian, under the leadership of the local lord, fought with these fierce bandits. The fierce and cruel battles made him grow up quickly, allowing a young boy to grow up vigorously into a qualified warrior.
At the coming-of-age ceremony half a month ago, Bardolian finally became a guardian knight.
When he took over the battle flag and sword that symbolizes glory and courage, the one he wanted to share with him the most was not his parents, but the cute girl with big amber-like big eyes - Princess Cocoli Mira Fast.
Since watching the girl leave the capital three years ago, the slender and delicate figure has never left his heart.
Walking lightly on the streets of Portal, Bardolian was full of energy and smile. The guardian knight badge on his chest was enough to make him look as arrogant as a proud little peacock. It is unheard of in the kingdom and the entire continent that the kingdom and even the entire continent. Although he was just a primary guardian knight, he believed that if he was given some more time, he would be promoted to a regular knight, a great knight, and then enter the military headquarters, inherit his father's title and fief, and then advance to the glory of life step by step... In order to obtain the title of guardian knight earlier, he even missed this year's autumn harvest festival, but he did not regret it at all. In order to be recognized, he had not appeared in his itinerary for a long time.
Subconsciously touched the Guardian Knight's badge hanging on his chest, and then looked down at the hand of Sporan flowers in his hand. Bardoren was excited.
Although he has become a guardian knight, he has not yet sworn allegiance to any lord. He asked him to enthrone the knight identity as a priest of the Aussetian divine religion. Only in this way can he choose the object of allegiance to himself as a free knight.
The person he will be loyal to in the future was decided a long time ago. No one is more worthy of his life and life to follow than that person.
"Baldoren?... It turns out you are really a guy!"
A slightly rough but charming voice interrupted his imagination. He raised his head and saw two figures of two tall and short wearing royal guard regiment uniforms in front of him.
"Yo! Sorom, Joshia, long time no see!"
With a hearty smile on his face, Bardo quietly hid the bouquet in his hand behind him.
"I have disappeared for more than two years, and I sneakily as soon as I meet... What are you hiding?"
But his little move was not hidden from the sharp-eyed little girl.
"This...this..."
"Joshia." Sorom, who was more steady, quietly pulled the corner of the small girl's clothes, then asked, "Baldoren, I heard you have become the guardian knight?"
"Haha, it's just a lucky person. I still have many shortcomings." He replied modestly, but Bardolian's mouth could no longer be closed.
"Congratulations," the little girl jumped in front of him and slapped twice on the place where the guardian knight's badge was hung on his chest. "Since you've been promoted, shouldn't you mean it?"
"Of course, tonight, I'll treat you to Vantry Hotel!"
"Vantry Hotel? Are there so many moon golds for the guardian knights? I will call someone else!"
The Vantry Hotel is not an ordinary hotel. It is the largest hotel set up by the Depple Chamber of Commerce in Portal. The manager in charge is the chief manager of the palace before Earl Smanda. The service staff in the hotel are all waiters trained by regular court etiquette. Almost every year, the palace will select suitable candidates from these waiters to enter the palace to replace those waiters who left the palace for various reasons.
In fact, the hotel manager, Mr. Prehir, another responsibility of the former palace manager, is to train qualified service personnel for the palace.
Just listening to this title is scary. Although the Vantry Hotel is also open to the general public, if you do not have a certain financial strength, it is better not to think about it.
"It's okay!" Bardo said with a heroic smile. "I haven't spent the monthly money that Lord Bru gave me in the past two years. I have saved it for more than 2,000 Bertras so far. With some other rewards, there is no problem just having a meal."
"Although you said it's okay..." Sorom was not as excited as a small girl, "...but what should you do if all the money is spent?"
"No problem!" Bardo patted his chest, "This little money is nothing. The monthly money for this month is about to be distributed. And now it is a war period. As long as I am still alive, when will this amount of money be made?"
"Baldolian, are you coming back this time to go to the front line?" Hearing this, the excitement of the little girl Joshia also cooled down.
"Of course!" Without noticing the other party's changes, Bardo patted his guardian knight's badge, "The glorious reputation and glory are waiting for me. As a man, it is normal to burn your passion on the battlefield? You can wait! I will definitely drive all the junkies of Jamins from Fort Reston back to their hometown!"
Sorom and Joshia looked at each other speechlessly.
"But..." The passionate Bardolian did not notice the meaningful performance of the two girls, "...Before this, I will swear allegiance to an adult. As a guardian knight, I will protect her with my life. I will defend her dignity with my own blood. All the guys who dare to offend her will fall under the sword in my hand..."
"You don't have a loyal partner yet?" the little girl blinked, "Then you might as well be a Ranger."
"Joshia! What are you talking about?" Sorom immediately stopped the unrestrained little girl.
"It will be there soon!" Bardolian said confidently without caring about the little girl's joke.
"It's Princess Cocoli, right?" The little girl curled her mouth and her eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers that had a corner exposed from behind Bardoren.
"That's right! It's the noble Princess Cocoli!" Anyway, it's been exposed, so Bardot even did not hide it. Anyway, this matter is no secret. There are no ten thousand or eight thousand people who want to pursue Princess Cocoli, and it's not bad for him.
"I'm so embarrassed to say it!" the little girl laughed and ridiculed him, "Isn't it you who took the lead in bullying the princess when she was a child?"
"Well……"
Bardolian could not refute this. When talking about what happened back then, he couldn't help but look at Sorom, who looked calm.
When he was in the church school, he did a lot of things to make Cocoli cry, like throwing mud on Cocoli's skirt, secretly putting caterpillars in Cocoli's lunch box, and deliberately putting the living mouse in front of Cocoli to see...
To be honest, at that time, he was the one who was cheated by Sorom the most. But he just didn't remember the lesson. What happened this time and what will happen next time?
"This...that...that...that's all the things I did when I was a child." After holding it in for a long time, Bardolian stammered and refuted a sentence that basically did not belong to a rebuttal.
"This guy is still in a deep state." The little girl sighed exaggeratedly and said to Sorom.
"This, this has nothing to do with you, right?" Bardolian's face turned red and she shouted in anger.
"For your own good, let's give up this idea quickly!" Seeing that the young guardian knight was teased a little out of control by himself, the small girl patted his chest with gloating expressions. (Because she was too small, she couldn't pat the guy's shoulder.)
"Discard this idea? What thought?"
"What do you think you have?"
"...Why?" A cheerful smile disappeared from Bardolian's face. In fact, with his savvy, it should not be unclear what the other party means, but the authorities are obsessed with the fact that the young guardian knight's judgment in this regard is now infinitely close to zero.
"Or why do you say that the news in the southern region is really blocked." The little girl shook her head and sighed exaggeratedly again, "Don't you know? Your Highness the Princess is already engaged!"
"Your Highness the Princess...engagement?"
Bardo blinked, "Don't! Come on, Princess Mimilu is only seven years old this year, how could she get engaged? Do you think I'm an idiot? This joke is really interesting, haha...haha...haha..."
"You guy," the little girl asked Cangtian speechlessly, "Even if you use such stupid words to deceive yourself, will you not admit this? You should have enough of it?" As he said, he jumped up and grabbed his ear while the other party was unprepared, "Who said that Your Highness Mimilu is engaged? They are talking about His Highness Mimilu's sister, the first princess of St. Ostan Kingdom, His Highness Cocoli Mira Fastro! Now you understand?"
"Joshia!" Sorom frowned and shouted dissatisfiedly. The shouting and screaming on the street had already attracted the attention of other passers-by.
"It's okay! This guy has always been very thick-skinned, and he won't feel embarrassed."
"Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Not at all!" the little girl smiled carelessly, "It's so fun to tease this serious guy, don't you realize it, Sorom?"
"...No, I think it's only Joshia, you who are so funny."
"What?" the little girl pouted and let go of her hand holding Bardoren's ear dissatisfiedly. "I told him kindly, if he only knew after he arrived at the palace, it would be really embarrassing, okay?"
"I don't think so," Sorom said seriously, "Baldoren is already an excellent adult, and I don't think he will lose his composure before His Holiness because of such a trivial matter."
"A small thing?" The little girl tilted her head and stared at Sorom.
"What are you doing?"
"No, sometimes I doubt Sorom, whether you are a girl."
"What's the meaning?"
"You'll know when you look at this serious guy."
Bardolian was already weak and covered in snow-white body, sitting on the corner of the street...
"This is the reaction that a normal person should have, right?"
