Facing the knight squire, Lucien replied politely.

“I’m a friend of John’s. I’m looking for John to tell him something important”

The dark blonde man, Ian, made a snort in contempt. “Why should I trust you? Just because you claim to be John’s friend? John and other knight squires are in training. I can’t let you in, unless you have proof of your identity.”

Quite obviously, Ian did not get along well with John. Lord Venn always had John in high esteem, which made Ian feel more than jealous. In his eyes, John was just a stupid pauper who somehow got a chance to become a knight squire and was always using the knight rules to please Lord Venn, while he was definitely better-educated and more talented.

Another knight squire, Durago, felt the same way. Thus he just stood there, watching while Ian gave the newcomer a hard time.

Ian thought that a poor youngster like the one who was standing in front of him would be frightened by the posture of a knight squire. Were it the case, the youngster might just give up or start begging them on his knees.

After going through so many difficulties and challenges, Lucien understood clearly what he was facing. In his eyes, it was ridiculous to see the two squires trying to pick on him, a nobody.

Lucien answered seriously, “John’s friend is in great danger. If John can’t make it back in time to avoid it, both of you will be responsible for the consequences. I’m pretty sure that Lord Venn would definitely not be happy with what you guys are doing here.”

He knew that Lord Venn was a nobleman who strictly sticked to knight rules all the way in his life. If Lord Venn knew his men violated the rules, he would punish them severely and drive them away from his land with no hesitation.

“How dare you threaten me, you little bastard!” Stepping forward, Ian was so furious that he almost pulled out his knight sword.

Lucien could feel the pressure coming from the high level knight squire. Even the guards standing behind him felt frightened.

What was out of their expectation was that Lucien was still the same, calm and serious. He asked sternly, “Are you gonna kill me, an innocent and unarmed boy, right now?”

It seemed like he was not affected by Ian’s posture at all. His willpower was stronger than the threat.

“Did you hear what I said?” Now it was Lucien’s turn to take a step forward, “Do you still want to be a knight?”

Ian’s anger was burning his guts, but he knew if he really killed this bastard, his future title, rank, land and manor would all be gone. He was not stupid.

Durago tried to make the situation easier for Ian. After giving Lucien a distasteful glance, Durago hauled Ian back. “Don’t waste our time on this.”

“Don't let me see you again,” said Ian viciously. Then he turned directly toward the manor.

Durago’s face looked grim. He just stood there, waiting for Ian.
