Chapter 293 Entering the City (1/2)
The burst of laughter came to an end.
Geer was stunned as he stared at the four half-kneeling Battle Angels. He rubbed his eyes and tried to figure out who the young lady was. She didn't appear unique from any other women he had seen. She wasn't dressed grandly and didn't leave a deep impression. No matter what, she didn't seem to be from the royal family. However, Geer was clear that these prideful Battle Angels would definitely not kneel down for any commoner. So… there was only one truth.
But… When was there another ruler in the Munn Kingdom? The previous ruler had passed on and with Lydia as the current ruler, there wasn't any possibility for an offspring since she didn't give birth. Also, this young lady and Lydia seemed to be the same age, so where did she come from?
Not only were the knights stunned, but even Anne and Christie also looked at Lize in astonishment. A stroke of blush and awkwardness emerged across Lize's face. Then, she approached the Battle Angels.
”… Did Sister arrange for this?”
”Yes, Your Highness.”
The Battle Angels stood up and lowered their heads respectfully. The leading Battle Angel said, ”This was Her Highness' arrangement. She informed us that if you decided to return here, it would mean that you accepted your identity… so we don't need to keep it a secret.”
Rhode twitched his brows. He turned to Marlene who was displaying a complicated expression.
Lize nodded and let out a sigh.
”But now, I am a member of the Starlight mercenary group. And this will never change.”
”I understand. But this is Her Highness' decision and we are just carrying out her orders.”
The leading Battle Angel replied and moved to the side. Then, Lize lifted her head and approached Geer, who was looking in astonishment.
”You can apologise now.”
What happened next didn't need any explanation.
Although Geer was still doubtful, he had been put down in his place. After all, with the Battle Angels by the side and even though he wasn't aware that there was another ”Her Highness,” the whole commotion couldn't be made up. This place was Golden City, after all, and was filled with good guys and scumbags. Maybe there was really someone whom he didn't know. Although this man always threw his weight about, the reason he was able to survive in Golden City until today was thanks to his ability to adapt to situations. Now that he was aware that Lize's identity wasn't that simple, he let off his ego and led his men to apologise to Christie sincerely. Not only that, he also apologized for his rudeness. Although Christie was terrified, she accepted with a nod.
On the contrary, Anne and Gillian were dissatisfied. Anne, as a Shield Warrior, was naturally the archenemy of the knights. On the other hand, Gillian had intended to use this opportunity to mess with them, but the knight didn't provoke her further so she couldn't find an excuse to do so. Even when the final inspections were over and everyone boarded the chariots and entered Golden City, Gillian was still grumbling over the matter. According to her, that bunch of brainless knights should have stubbornly insisted on their own attitude to find trouble with them. Then, Rhode could attack and wipe them all out. But who would have thought that they only had a lot of talk and yet no actions…
