There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

After he finished speaking, he opened the gates of the barracks and let Lu Qing and Eileen go inside.

"Hey, Eileen, do you know which one is Knight Myron?" After entering the barracks, Lu Qing looked at Eileen beside her and asked.

The gatekeeper said that Knight Myron was at the training ground, but there were many soldiers at the training ground, and she didn't know what he looked like.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know what Knight Myron looks like either," Eileen said somewhat awkwardly.

She was just a maid. Although she had heard of the great name of Sir Myron, she did not know what he looked like.

"I see..."

Lu Qing wasn't particularly surprised, since when she asked Eileen before, she knew nothing about Knight Myron, only that he was the strongest knight in the kingdom.

So it's normal that she doesn't know what Myron looks like.

Lu Qing looked around and found that there were large numbers of soldiers training in small teams on the training ground, with each team having an instructor in charge of training.

Um, I don't think they were called instructors in the Middle Ages. They were probably centurions or commanders of thousands or something.

Lu Qing wasn't sure either. Perhaps they were called knights and the soldiers below them were knight squires?

Um.........

With her eyes quickly scanning every corner of the training ground, Lu Qing soon found an old man dressed in knight's armor, doing nothing but standing in the shade.

"Well, it really is quite conspicuous."

Shaking her head, Lu Qing led Eileen toward the other party, deliberately avoiding the soldiers who were training along the way.

Even so, she and Eileen still attracted a lot of attention. After all, in a military camp full of men, the sudden appearance of two women, and the very beautiful ones at that, would be hard not to attract attention.

Chapter 453: Knight Myron's Retirement Life

PS: Thank you to reader Haoxia Chaomu for the 1500 Qidian Coins!

"What are you looking at? Get back to training!"

Seeing his soldiers' eyes constantly drifting towards the two girls, one of the knights in charge of training couldn't help but rebuke them angrily.

Although he watched it himself, he was the captain and didn't need to concentrate on training at the moment, so what was wrong with taking a quick glance?

On the contrary, these soldiers dared to be distracted while he was directing the training. No, they must be severely punished.

"An extra hour of training today!"

.........

Ignoring the soldiers on the other side, whose cries of agony filled the air, Lu Qing and Eileen walked up to the old man in knight's armor.

"Are you Princess Lu Qing?" the old man asked, looking at Lu Qing who had walked up to him.

"Yes." Lu Qing nodded, then asked, "Are you Knight Myron Zahad?"

“Yes, it’s me.” Myron Zahad nodded, then said, “I heard from my soldiers that His Majesty the King sent you to deliver this message to me, is that right?”

"Yes, this is your letter."

Lu Qing took the letter the king had given her from her bosom and handed it to Myron Zahad.

"Hmm, it hasn't been opened..." Knight Myron thought as he took the letter from Lu Qing and looked at the unopened marks on it.

"She looks just like the Queen. It seems she really is Princess Lu Qing." Myron thought to himself, glancing at Lu Qing's hair again.

After opening the letter, Myron took out a folded piece of white paper and slowly unfolded it.

The bottom right corner bears the king's signature and the royal seal. This cannot be faked; with the skill of the legendary knight Myron, he could see every detail of the seal.

The reason he was surprised that the letter hadn't been opened was that Lu Qing could have opened it and shown the royal seal inside to the guards.

That way, the other party will definitely let her in, but the contents of the letter might be exposed.

Well, it doesn't really matter even if the contents of this letter are exposed.

This should be considered a test from the king for his daughter, and Knight Myron was quite satisfied with the answer Lu Qing gave.

It's the content of the letter...

"Good lad, so that's why I asked the princess to deliver the letter personally. I'm retired, why should I still have to work for your royal family?" Knight Myron looked at the contents of the letter and then burst out laughing.

"retire?"

Lu Qing looked at Knight Myron with a puzzled expression, but after noticing the gray hair on his head and the wrinkles on his cheeks, she understood.

Indeed, judging from the appearance of Knight Myron, he must be quite old, and it's normal for him to want to retire.

However, the retirement of the kingdom's first knight just feels a bit strange...

Also, what does it mean to continue working for the royal family after retirement?

Just as Lu Qing was wondering, the knight Myron in front of her suddenly drew the longsword hanging at his waist, startling her so much that she couldn't help but take two steps back.

If she hadn't been wearing a princess dress and wasn't carrying any weapons, she probably would have pulled them out right away.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Didn't the King tell you the contents of the letter?" Sir Myron said with a smile.

"No, nothing." Lu Qing thought for a moment, figuring that Knight Myron probably wouldn't do anything to her, so she stopped trying to run away.

Of course, she had already secretly prepared to escape. The kingdom's number one knight, who knows how powerful he is.

"They didn't say that."

Myron stroked his beard, then without saying much, he knelt on one knee and raised his unsheathed knight's sword with both hands.

“I swear by my sword and my life, my princess.”

"I will always remember humility, honor, sacrifice, courage, compassion, spirit, honesty, and justice."

"I will be your sword, cutting down all obstacles for you; I will be your shield, never retreating until my last drop of blood is shed."

“My loyalty, my soul, and the blade in my hand will be wielded only for you. I place it here, may the sacred tree bless it to be forever sharp, may its master never bow his head, and may it never break.”

"........"

Lu Qing's brain went blank for a moment before she realized what this was.

After hesitating for a moment, she gracefully took the longsword from Knight Myron's hand with both hands.

[Noble Etiquette LV9-LV10]

The diary in her mind trembled slightly, breaking the atmosphere, and told her that her aristocratic etiquette skills had been upgraded.

"Yes, that's good." Knight Myron stood up and said, having returned to his previous appearance.

"So what's going on?" Lu Qing asked Knight Myron.

"Hmm... Could you please return my sword to me, Your Highness?" Knight Myron asked, looking at the knight's sword in Lu Qing's hand.

“According to what you just said, this sword is mine now,” Lu Qing said, blinking.

Myron: "........."

“That’s what all knights say when they swear allegiance to the nobles. I was just following the rules. It’s the standard line, you know?” Myron coughed lightly twice.

"I don't care. Anyway, you said it. The kingdom's number one knight, Myron Zahad, wouldn't go back on his word and bully a little kid like me, would he?" Lu Qing provoked.

"Forehead........."

Myron's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Why doesn't this kid know how to respect the elderly?"

After thinking for a moment, he handed the letter that the king had given him to Lu Qing and said solemnly, "Your Highness, this sword is very important to me. May I ask if you can give it to me?"

"As for your question, please take a look at this letter, and you will know the answer after reading it."

"Alright, seeing how loyal you are, I'll give you this sword as a gift." Lu Qing, having now figured out Knight Myron's personality, said.

Myron Zahad appears to be a burly old man, but his personality is somewhat eccentric.

However, when he is serious, he is quite dignified and charismatic. Lu Qing could tell that he was serious when he took the oath.

This is one of the reasons why she accepted the knight's sword.

As for the other reasons...

To advance the plot, the loyalty of the kingdom's first knight is quite appealing, and so on. Anyway, Lu Qing doesn't think it's a bad deal.

After returning the knight's sword to the other party, Lu Qing took the letter from Myron's hand and read it carefully.

After reading the letter, she learned the reason why Myron had suddenly pledged allegiance to her.

Just as she had guessed, Myron Zahad, the kingdom's first knight, was retiring from the kingdom's knightly order due to his advancing age and the internal injuries and illnesses caused by years of fighting.

These reasons were all reasonable, and the king did not intend to refuse. However, the question arose as to what Myron Zahad would do after retiring.

The original plan was for Myron Zahad to do nothing and live comfortably on his pension.

However, Myron felt very idle every day, so he went to the king and asked to train new soldiers in the army.

The king was naturally delighted to agree, but less than two months later, Myron wrote to say that everything in the military camp was settled and he had nothing to do, so he wanted to find a new job.

Well, my requirements aren't high. Ideally, it would be a job that's relatively relaxed but not completely idle. Oh, and by the way, I don't want to do odd jobs.

Good heavens, the king was delighted when he saw it. "Your request isn't too high?"

But after much thought, he actually came up with a good task.

That was to become the princess's guard knight, which led to the scene just now.

“A guardian knight…” Lu Qing glanced at Myron and thought that having the kingdom’s strongest knight as her guardian might not be so bad.

Chapter 454: Swordsmanship Sparring

"You know how to use a sword, right?" Myron asked Lu Qing.

"Yes, I know a little bit." Lu Qing glanced at the Sword Master skill on her skill bar and said.

She herself doesn't know how to use a sword, but the card Ezio does. With the card's skill enhancement, Lu Qing believes that few people can rival her swordsmanship.

Of course, Knight Myron is an exception. He is the kingdom's number one knight, and in terms of swordsmanship, he should at least be considered a master swordsman.

Besides swordsmanship, knights should also be skilled in riding and the lance needed for mounted combat.
