I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

I'm going for a run today, and Huang Quan said he'll rest during the day, so it's definitely time to go for a run.

"There's one more important thing..."

The gentleness emanating from Xia Die was replaced by a faint sadness, and her face was filled with entanglement and melancholy.

"uh-huh?"

"Because of your presence with me, Su Yang, bad rumors have started circulating in the city, and you've even been given some unpleasant nicknames. I'm sorry, I've affected you."

"You mean the title 'Death Knight'?"

"...Um."

"He's quite handsome. Aglaia has told me about him, and I don't think there's any problem with him."

"Eh?"

“Your Highness, let’s not apologize for such a small thing. You are so gentle, so gentle that I wish I could hug you right now.”

"Eh? Princess? Gentle? And hugging and stuff like that, like me..."

Xia Die blushed, and her speech became stammering, failing to express what she wanted to say at all.

"Would you hate being around me?" Su Yang asked seriously.

"How could that be? Su Yang, you are so warm, so gentle, I..."

"Then there's no problem, Your Highness, let's set off."

Su Yang suddenly picked up Xia Die in a princess carry.

"Eh eh eh?"

Do you dislike this?

"No, Su Yang's embrace was very warm, but it was too sudden, and I found it hard to calm down."

"Then there's no problem." Su Yang started running.

Without the slightest thought of resistance, Xia Die obediently nestled her head against Su Yang's chest, her cheeks remaining flushed.

The Death Knight, accompanied by his Death Princess, faced the west wind and stepped into a new day.

Chapter 16 Mysterious [Analysis]

Place de la Cerfalèna.

This place often attracts devout believers, while some idle citizens also choose to stroll around here.

Now, the square is packed with people, and it's very crowded. There are even many citizens trying to squeeze in from the outside, causing quite a commotion.

Because [Kin-ori] Aglaia is going to give an important speech.

Aglaia is a demigod, but for some citizens of the Holy City, her existence is equivalent to that of a god, and her greatness needs no further explanation.

While people held Aglaia in awe, they also gradually grew to fear her.

After all, many things in the city cannot escape [Kaneori's] sight. Everything is firmly in her hands, and such an existence would certainly be terrifying if it completely loses its humanity.

Aglaia was indeed ruthless in handling some matters, which caused unease to spread among the people.

This aloof and solitary demigod suddenly announced today that he would deliver an important speech outside of the Citizens' Assembly.

Upon learning this, those who respect Aglaia will naturally want to come and see, while those who oppose Aglaia will also want to join in the fun and see what kind of trouble is going on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to listen to my speech."

Kneel with your mouth open.

As soon as Aglaia spoke, the crowd erupted in noise.

Because she was speaking with a smile, her words were gentle, unlike her usual indifference at the citizens' assembly.

At this moment, Su Yang and Xia Die also arrived.

They didn't need to push, because after Xia Die appeared, people obediently made way for her.

Aglaia also turned her gaze in their direction.

Her smile widened, and her voice became even clearer through the gold threads interwoven nearby:

“Recently, I have heard a lot of sharp voices.”

"Perhaps many people are worried about my gradual loss of humanity, and fear that I might do terrible things after losing my humanity..."

"But now, I want to tell you all that my humanity has been restored!"

"As you can see, I am moved by this beautiful world!"

Aglaia opened her arms, her voice gradually rising, and her every word and action revealed genuine feelings, making her convincing.

Her speech continued until the crowd erupted again:

"The restoration of humanity did not appear out of thin air. The one who helped me was Su Yang, who was standing next to Xia Die! He is also the so-called 'Death Knight' you are talking about now."

Aglaia extended her hand, gesturing for Su Yang to enter.

The entire audience erupted in commotion, all eyes turning towards Su Yang.

"?"

Su Yang was completely confused.

How did the conversation veer towards him?

Although Aglaia was telling the truth, she suddenly found herself under the scrutiny of many eyes...

It feels pretty good.

Su Yang, head held high and chest out, led Xia Die and walked up to Aglaia as she had instructed.

Aglaia's speech continued.

"That's right! It was this brave knight who could be with [death] who restored my humanity, and it was he who made me stop on the path I was going further and further away and feel beauty again."

“He brought me a new life and helped me rediscover romance. I, Aglaia, will remember this kindness forever!”

“And from now on, I will love this city-state even more.”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us rejoice! And tonight, I will host a banquet at the Marble Palace to share this joy with you all!"

"oh!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers the moment Aglaia stopped speaking.

Besides those praising Aglaia, there were also many words of praise for Su Yang.

"It's him! He helped me find the important pendant! It was the only memento my mother left me, and the Death Knight helped me find it!" A child's voice rang out from the crowd.

"I saw him buying groceries for the grandma next door!"

"I saw it too!"

"The Death Knight even saved me outside the city!"

"If it's him, he might actually be able to help Lady Aglaia!"

"As expected of a Death Knight, he easily accomplished what we couldn't!"

"Death Knight! Su Yang! I can never repay your kindness!"

“…”

Looking at the bustling crowd, Su Yang smiled with invincible confidence.

He didn't feel like he had done anything, but the emotional value he was gaining was indeed quite good.

If it was a gift from Aglaia, then he accepted it with gratitude.

News of the speech, and of Su Yang, spread extremely quickly throughout the Holy City.

Some dissenting voices believe that this was a script written and acted by Aglaia herself, but in the past, Aglaia would not have even intended to act, so its authenticity is beyond doubt.

Su Yang's title and identity became increasingly bizarre with each passing tale.

[A romantic death knight.]

[The Romantic Knight of Death.]

[Lady Aglaia's personal physician.]

Ohmma was swept up in an unprecedented celebration surrounding these topics, and the excitement didn't subside even into the night.

.....

Yunshi Tiangong.

In the spring, people gathered together singing and dancing, tasting various fine wines and delicacies, eating delicious berries, and chatting about Aglaia and Suyang.

Heroes' Bath, where Su Yang and others bathed.

Aglaia was to Su Yang's left, while Xia Die was to his right. Both of them were wrapped in bath towels, but Su Yang was still wearing his black shorts.

"Su Yang, I hope my actions today did not offend you." Aglaia crossed her snow-white legs, a dangerous move that would reveal glimpses of what lay beneath the towel.

"On the contrary, I feel very happy. Although it's vain, it's a pleasant surprise for me. Thank you."

"That puts my mind at ease. But why don't you open your eyes? Xia Die's expression seems to suggest that she wants you to look at her more."

"Lady Aglaia! I didn't!" Xia Die retorted, blushing.

But after speaking, Xia Die wasn't very confident. She moved her bottom slightly away from Su Yang, hugged her legs, and looked away to alleviate her abnormally high temperature.

"I am a little shy, after all, you changed clothes today."

Not shy.

Su Yang is currently wearing a simple pair of small glasses.

But Xia Die and Aglaia were clearly unaware of the existence of these glasses.

"Su Yang, there's no need to be shy. We've already been honest with each other, and besides, we have a bath towel for protection. If you're shy about something like this, it will only make us feel awkward."

Despite her advice, Aglaia found Su Yang quite interesting at the moment.

So he's the type who talks tough but is actually quite weak in practice?

After regaining her humanity, Aglaia's little ideas became much richer.

“…”

Having been told this much, Su Yang sighed helplessly.

That's definitely inappropriate.

He had previously openly expressed his desire to see something more exciting, so it's unreasonable for him to be shy about something this intense now.

Then Su Yang opened his eyes.

From his perspective, there was no towel, only a giant slime that was squeezed and deformed.

The pale pink and fair skin enriched his vision.

Su Yang's expression remained completely unchanged.

Actually, he felt that bath towels had a better scent than wet ones, especially when they were damp; the subtle, alluring beauty of a wet towel was simply art.

The issue is...

After Su Yang discovered the 'truth' through his glasses, some other information followed.

This refers to the so-called [analysis] results.
