Chapter 512 Adventure with My Steel-Level Fiancée

"Adventurer's companion, such a young child?"

Lahagi looked on with suspicion at Seiya's answer.

"Don't let her young age fool you into thinking she's just a child; she's actually very capable."

Just like Evileye from your Blue Rose, although she looks like a small, cute girl, she's probably the strongest among you, right?

Because of Seiya's impeccable character and the fact that he, as the third prince, had no prior misdeeds, Laju was almost ready to accept Seiya's explanation. However, what Kang Jinlong said the next second made Laju completely lose her composure!

"My lord, aren't we leaving yet? Why keep explaining so much to this woman? She's nothing special, I can take her down in one bite..."

Before Kang Jinlong could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by Shengzai.

However, even though he managed to cover the dragon loli's mouth in time, Seiya still quickly sensed a strong killing intent coming from behind him.

“Seiya! If I heard correctly, she just called you master, didn’t she…”

Lagisu, whose anger had reached its peak, could no longer maintain her so-called ladylike demeanor and stepped forward to grab Seiya's collar, asking him what was going on!

"Lagus, I've already said it's all a misunderstanding. She really is a member of our adventure team, and we went out this time to complete a mission."

As for why this girl calls me "master," you can assume it's just her verbal tic, because I've told her many times not to call me that!

As Seiya spoke, he glared at Kang Jinlong, who was covering his mouth with his hand.

“My lord, I’m sorry… I forgot to call you Saintia… Saintia-sensei.”

Seeing that Kang Jinlong didn't seem very bright, Laju ultimately chose to believe Seiya.

However, she was quickly drawn to the topic Seiya had just mentioned.

Besides being the third prince of the kingdom, Seiya is also the Mithril-level adventurer "Shy King," a fact that Lajus knows.

After all, Seiya's adventurer status was registered by him through Lana's request.

Registering as an adventurer with royal status is ultimately inconvenient, which is why they used their connection with the Steel-class adventurer "Blue Rose" to get in through the back door.

Lajus and Lana both knew that, in addition to his daily sword practice, Seiya would occasionally accept guild commissions to go out and hone his skills.

Lagisu had previously suggested that Seiya join her "Blue Rose" team, but Seiya refused, citing the inconvenience of having only female members in their team.

As an engaged couple, Seiya and Lahas had little time to spend together due to their respective identities. So when she heard that Seiya was going on an adventure, Lahas immediately suggested that she wanted to go with him.

"What? You're not willing to take the risk with me? Or... is your relationship with this child really not as simple as you say!"
He claims he's going to complete a commission, but he's actually planning to do something shady behind everyone's back!

Looking into his fiancée's sharp eyes, Seiya suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

They did accept the Adventurers' Guild's commission this time, but the commission was only secondary. They had other things to do, but the so-called shady business was definitely not what Lajus thought.

"No, no, no, Lajus, you're overthinking it. I just think that since you 'Blue Rose' have finally returned to the capital, you should get some rest."

Moreover, this is a Mithril-level mission for us. It's a bit of a waste for you, as a Steel-level team, to work with us.

Lana just told me that she hadn't seen you in a long time and missed you a bit, so how about..." Before Seiya could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lajus in front of him.

"We can visit Lana after we finish our mission and return."

Seiya, although your strength is already at the level of an adamantite-grade adventurer, your adventurer experience is far from sufficient due to spending so many years in the royal capital.

"This time, let me, as a Steel-class adventurer, accompany you. I can teach you some adventurer's experience, isn't that perfect?"

"As for whether the other members of my team will mind..."

Lajus turned to look at the ninja girl behind her and asked, "Tina, what do you think?"

“As the leader, Ghost Chief, you naturally have the final say. However, I prefer adventure to staying in a place like the capital to rest. I believe Gegrand and the others feel the same way.”

Upon hearing Tina's words, Lajus smiled and said, "That's right. Compared to being a noble in the capital, I prefer being an adventurer."

"Then it's decided! Tina, go tell Gegrand and the others. I'm going home to change my gear. We'll meet at the palace gates in an hour."

Watching Lajus and Tina leave one after another, Seiya was completely stunned.

What do you mean by "that's the decision"? What about his opinion? Was it just ignored like that?

"My lord...how holy! Shall we go ahead ourselves?"

Upon hearing Kang Jinlong's question, Seiya covered his face with his hands, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, "Fine, this time we'll just act together with 'Blue Rose'."

"If I dump Lajus here, she'll kill me the next time we meet."

"With me here, I won't let her harm my lord. Besides, she's so weak, she's no match for my lord at all."

"It's not a question of whether she's strong or not, but... never mind, just remember not to show any overly impressive strength in front of them later."

Without my orders, you should maintain your strength at approximately level 50... no, approximately level 35.

Although the marriage was arranged by his elders, Seiya still had considerable affection for Lagisu.

Unlike other noble families in the kingdom, Lajus herself did not have the bad habits and arrogance of a noble lady.

On the other hand, Lahagi really cares about Seiya.

It's easy to see from her previous behavior that, compared to the restrictive life of an aristocrat, Lajus prefers and yearns for the life of an adventurer.

Even so, Lahoz, upon hearing that she had fainted due to cultivation, did not hesitate to abandon the task entrusted to her and come to the capital to visit her.

Furthermore, fearing that Seiya would be gossiped about or that people would think the Third Prince's fiancée lacked aristocratic manners, Lajus didn't even wear her adventurer gear, which she would normally never take off, when she entered the palace.

In Seiya's view, the "Blue Rose" is also an important fighting force for the kingdom. He had previously tested the "power of evolution" on Nigan, thinking about whether he could use this power to strengthen Lahas and the others.

After all, compared to outsiders, Seiya clearly felt that his childhood sweetheart and fiancée were more reliable.
