They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

"I've already told you, I'm all grown up now, can you please stop trying to control everything I do?"

"I know what I'm doing, and I know how to handle things in my studies and life!"

"Besides, I am the princess. Aren't you being a bit too nosy lately?"

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Afu.

"Don't follow me!"

She was acting like a spoiled, unruly princess throwing a tantrum.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Afro opened her mouth, about to follow, but Violet turned around again, pointed at her, and made another stern statement.

"Stop following me!"

Violet walked a little faster, her heart beating even faster.

Sister Afu, I'm sorry.

She didn't want to be mean to her.

But faced with Sister Afu's concern, she couldn't help but think of those embarrassing scenes from earlier.

Even when faced with her closest friend, Violet didn't know how to brush her off.

So I could only pretend to be willful and tell her to stop asking.

Violet ran too fast and didn't notice the mysterious gaze of the female knight behind her.

Actually, what Afu wanted to ask in the end was something else entirely.

Before he could even speak, Violet snapped at him, telling him not to interfere.

She could even tell that His Highness was deliberately changing the subject.

The two grew up together and spent every day together; she knew His Highness all too well.

They know it even better than she does herself.

So she didn't chase after him, nor did she ask the question.

In the instant the two made physical contact, Av smelled a familiar scent on Violet.

She couldn't possibly mistake that taste.

She wanted to ask His Highness why she smelled like him.

But clearly, now is not the time to ask His Highness.

Even if she asked, I doubt His Highness would tell her.

Afu turned around and looked at the grove of trees behind her.

It was quiet inside, without a sound.

Since we can't ask His Highness that question, we should ask someone else.

In the middle of the night, Char heard a knocking sound at the window.

When he drew back the curtains leading to the balcony, he saw Afu, dressed casually, behind the glass door.

He was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow.

Are girls nowadays all about going through windows?

But they still opened the door and let her in.

"Senior Afu, what brings you here so late?"

The two sat down on a small sofa in the living room.

"I'm here to thank you."

Afu sat with her hands folded, her posture elegant, and her eyes full of sincerity.

"Thanks to the distillation technology you provided, the situation in the Silvermoon Kingdom is gradually improving."

"I am deeply grateful for your contributions to the entire kingdom; I have no way to repay you..."

Hearing the familiar opening remarks, Xia raised an eyebrow slightly and began to tease.

Are you offering yourself to me in return?

However, the moment those words left her lips, the usually gentle knight's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

He was like a drawn sword, aggressive and intimidating.

Why didn't you keep your promise!?

She smelled Xia's scent on His Highness.

Afro truly cared about Char.

She felt both respect and admiration for the young man before her.

She even considered marrying him to dispel His Highness's wariness and hostility towards him.

So today, after Violet smelled his scent and saw His Highness's evasive manner, as a sensible old lady, she instantly understood what had happened.

She knew that if she had gone into the grove, she might have seen something inappropriate.

That's why Your Highness was so nervous.

But why him of all people?!

Afu's hands hung at her sides, her fists clenched.

Why didn't you keep your promise?!

Afu's voice was very serious and deep.

But on that handsome and spirited face, a look of impending tears appeared.

Her accusing eyes and the stubbornness in her slightly bitten lip made her look like a wife who had been deceived by her husband and was utterly disappointed!

A heavy atmosphere filled the room. Afu stared into Xia's eyes, her voice slowly fading into melancholy.

"You promised me you wouldn't attack His Highness... You lied to me again!"

Afu's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

But then a cold, damp wind suddenly swept through the room.

The sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.

His head gradually lowered, his expression somber, shrouded in shadow.

The hand gripping the water glass gradually tightened, the fingertips turned white, and the veins appeared intermittently.

The once holy and radiant female knight is now slowly turning to the dark side, falling into the path of a dark knight.

He exudes an aura of dominance that commands the entire scene, both dangerous and captivating.

Although she is very cool and has a queen-like aura, Char still prefers the gentle and elegant style of the female knight.

Faced with her questioning, Xia showed no remorse whatsoever.

He raised his hand and delivered a headshot!

"boom!"

The loud sound echoed in the room.

This was really a shock; Afu felt her head buzzing.

In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes.

Her already pitiful expression made her even more heartbreaking.

Char, however, showed no mercy to the woman at this moment.

"You're questioning my character!"

His expression was very serious, even more ferocious than Afu's.

Afu pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

But faced with the powerful young man, his aura was gradually suppressed, and he reverted to being the gentle and holy knight of light.

She was a little unconvinced and muttered under her breath.

"What were you doing in the woods?"

She had discovered it a long time ago, but she just hadn't exposed it.

"She just wanted to express her gratitude to me."

Char shrugged and answered seriously.

His expression and voice were normal.

Seeing how normal he acted, Afu became even more convinced.

"grateful?"

She was simply a little confused about what Char had said.
