Chapter 666 (1/2)
This happened shortly after Su Cheng married Carol and Eliza at the end of 291 in the imperial calendar.

*******
British Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon fortress, a restaurant in the city.
At noon.
”I also drank a lot of black tea today.”
”Ha ha ha.”
”Such a big winter is best for drinking hot tea.” Eliza glanced. ”Really, the winter in Avalon fortress is really too cold... It's unbearable.”
Eliza and the other two female Knights staying at Avalon fortress had a simple tea party while drinking black tea at lunch time as usual.
In the British army, female knights were a completely rare species.
There are fewer women who will volunteer to join the army. Naturally, there are fewer women who can fight to become knights.
The number of female knights in the whole order of Michael is only in single digits at present.
Now there are only four female Knights left in Avalon fortress, including Eliza and Deng Jiaer.
Just because there are too few ”companions”, female Knights tend to cherish the knights who are also female around them, so the relationship between them is often no worse.
Eliza, Deng Jiaer and two other female knights who also stayed in Avalon fortress had a good relationship.
Therefore, usually during the noon break, the four of them will get together from time to time, casually find a restaurant in the urban area, have lunch, drink some black tea and have a chat.
Today, because Deng Jiaer has something to do at noon, only Eliza and two other female knights are having a tea party today.
”Well, let's talk about it today.” Eliza put down her tea cup and stood up. ”Talk slowly later.”
”Well, that's right. Let's stop here today. ” The other two female Knights also put down their tea cups and stood up.
After the three said goodbye to each other, Eliza, who had some urgent things to deal with, left first.
However, before Eliza had gone far, she was stopped by one of the two female Knights:
”Ah, by the way, Eliza.”
”Huh?” Eliza looked back. ”What's the matter?”
”That...”
The normally bright and open girl hesitated for some reason.
It's like saying something hard to say.
”Well... Eliza... Your husband... That is, the head of the regiment, has not been at home lately?”
”Su Cheng?” Eliza recalled, ”well... Yes, he has been going out at night for some reason in recent days. He said he had to deal with something.”
”Well...” the expression on the knight's face became more and more strange.
”What's the matter?” Eliza asked, ”why did you suddenly ask me this?”
”Well... How to say... When I go out in the evening these days, I always see the head... I see the head go to the hotel with Mr. Raymond...”
……
……
That night.
Britannia Empire, northern border, Avalon fortress, Su Cheng's home.
”Carol! Carol! ”
After hurrying home in a hurry, Eliza shouted Carol's name and rushed to the kitchen.
Carol is preparing dinner for tonight at this time.
Seeing Eliza coming back, Carol continued to ask for a big spoon to stir the unknown object in the pot, and quickly ran to Eliza behind her and said:
”Eliza, you're back. Are you okay? What a worried look. ”
”No! Eliza! ”
Eliza grabbed Carol's shoulders: ”someone witnessed Su Cheng going to the hotel with Raymond at night!”
