Chapter 373 Interlude: Little Lolita’s Tea Party (3)

As the night deepened, in Nanali's room, a few little girls were idly lying on the table fiddling with fruits.

Compared with the last tea party, Dorothy was not present this time. It was said that she was preparing to return to the demon clan's hometown with Octavia.

The elf little girl Windsor and Ryan's adopted daughter Noelle replaced Dorothy and sat at the table somewhat stiffly.

"Master is leaving soon..."

Yvette sighed softly, and the reluctance on her face was very obvious.

Nanali said indifferently: "Nothing will happen to that guy anyway, he will be back soon."

"Then you don't feel reluctant to leave your master?" Yvette raised her eyes.

Nanali blushed and turned her head away: "I...how could I not bear to part with him!"

"Relax a little. The host is just going on a long trip. There's no need to make the atmosphere so dull. Besides, Windsor finally came here as a guest."

Xiao Shi, who was sitting on Ami's shoulder, waved his hand and consoled Yvette, "How about this, I'll record the scene of the battle between the Master and the Dragon Lord and show it to you guys when I get back, how about that?"

Yvette's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Thank you, Xiaoshi sister!"

Amyia still had a blank expression on her face, but the toes of her little feet wrapped in white socks were slightly curled up, as if she was suppressing some happy emotion.

The bell on her ankle still made sounds from time to time.

Because of the bell, she can communicate with her butler no matter how far away they are, which makes her happy from the bottom of her heart.

Nanali also has the means to contact Ryan, but Nanali just can't let go of her pride and take the initiative to contact Ryan.

With Xiaoshi's words, the atmosphere in the bedroom finally became much more lively.

"By the way, if Mr. Ryan is going on a long trip, Sister Xiao will definitely go with him, right?"

At this moment, Nemituya looked at Xiao Shi with sharp eyes and spoke.

Xiaoshi nodded, put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "That's for sure. After all, the master can't live without me!"

"Then sister Xiao, can you continue playing that before you leave?"

"That one? Which one?"

"That's it! How did Master Ryan enter the Dark Knights?"

Hearing what Nemituya said, the other little girls all looked at Xiao Shi with star-like eyes, except Windsor who was still a little confused.

Noelle was the one looking forward to it the most. Before this, she had heard from Nanali and Yvette that her sister could see her father's past memories when she was little.

Now I can finally see it...

"Oh...I see. All right then!"

Xiaoshi smiled mysteriously, raised his hand and projected the screen onto the wall of Nanali's bedroom:

"Last time we saw the master leaving the Glorious Reserve and joining the ordinary Knights. As for how the master entered the Dark Eclipse..."

Seeing the projection released by Xiao Shi, Windsor opened her mouth slightly, but was very obedient and did not say anything. Instead, she watched the image projected by Xiao Shi silently and attentively.

The work of ordinary knights is monotonous and boring.

Ryan's daily job is to wear a full-body knight's armor and patrol the city walls, towns and gates on duty.

Because he was demoted from the Glorious Reserve and was formerly a squad leader in the Glorious Reserve, Ryan was able to stay in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital... It's good to say, but it's not good either, because people of prominent status often come and go in the imperial capital, and Ryan, as an ordinary knight, has been looked down upon by the nobles many times.

Ryan's expression at that time was always cold, even colder than when Nanali first met Ryan. There was no luster in his eyes. He just carried out the work of the Knights day after day like a puppet.

Ryan like this made the little girls feel worried.

Noelle covered her chest and whispered, "I feel like my dad right now is very similar to me in the past..."

"Mr. Ryan...what happened before?"

Seeing the usually gentle Ryan become like this, Windsor finally couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Windsor ask this, Yvette couldn't help but lower her head in shame, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

After all, she had always been targeting the Radiant Knights...

It was still Amyia who said calmly: "It's probably that Mr. Butler's friend was tricked by the largest knight order in the empire. I'll tell you about this matter after I finish reading it."

"Well, thank you, Amiah!"

Ryan's boring daily life was quickly skipped by the hours. In it, the little girls also saw the helpless and concerned expression of Ryan's master, the elf Alice, towards Ryan.

"Hmm...it seems like this naked elf is doting on Ryan."

There was some suspicion on Nanali's face.

After spending such a long time with such a beautiful and cute elf that doesn't wear clothes, does Ryan really have no idea at all?

Soon, as the hours passed, Ryan's daily life in the Knights Templar finally took a turn for the better.

On this day, Ryan completed his mission of guarding the city gate in the morning and returned to the imperial capital to prepare for lunch.

At this moment, a man in a khaki cloak walked towards Ryan mysteriously: "You are Ryan, right?"

Seeing this iconic khaki cloak, Nanali and others opened their eyes wide at the same time.

So this is how Ryan and the eldest prince met?

Ryan didn't understand what was going on, so he said to the weirdo in the khaki cloak in a cold and formulaic way: "Excuse me, how can I help you?"

The man in the yellow cloak suddenly raised his hand, and a mysterious smile appeared on half of his face under the brim of his hood: "How about we go to the tavern to talk? It's my treat."

Hearing this, Ryan frowned slightly and prepared to walk around this weirdo and leave.

Suddenly, the man continued, "With your abilities, do you want to waste your life in this grassroots knight order? With the work of this knight order, you probably won't be able to use your superb magic and swordsmanship for the rest of your life."

Ryan stopped and was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining any absurd organization."

"Hahaha, you think too much. I'm not looking for you to pull you into a cult. I'm a regular member of the Hedley Knights, and I have nothing to do with the Knights of Glory!"

The mysterious man's eyes seemed to be burning under his hood: "Believe me, my ability is definitely much greater than you think."

"..."

Ryan was silent for a while, then came to the mysterious man and asked: "Which pub are we going to?"

"Come with me!"

Seeing that the great prince actually condescended to win over Ryan, whom he met for the first time, like a pagan missionary, the little lolis seemed to understand why the prince was so highly supported in the Hedley Empire.

And why is the relationship with Ryan so good...

Sitting down in the tavern, the mysterious man ordered something casually, and then said to Ryan in a low voice:

"Ryan, the former captain of the Glorious Reserve, was the best in both swordsmanship and magic among the reserves, but he was demoted and put on ice after another reserve team was annihilated in a battle against monsters. Am I right?"

Ryan nodded slightly, his eyes showing no fluctuations.

The mysterious man did not show any dissatisfaction with Ryan's cold attitude, but continued to smile and said:

"While the reserve army was fighting against the monsters, the regular army of the Glorious Force in charge of this mission suffered heavy losses due to an attack by the monsters.

In order to successfully evacuate, they left behind the reserve team to fend off the monsters, and this matter has become a secret as you hid it."

After hearing what the mysterious man said, Ryan's mood finally changed a little. Although he still had no expression on his face, Ryan's fists had been clenched unconsciously.

Ryan raised his head silently and looked at the mysterious man, wanting to see what else this mysterious man would say.

"After learning that the reserve team was in trouble, you, as the captain of that reserve team, single-handedly charged into the beast tide at night, killed countless medium-sized monsters, and then fought your way back to the Knights... right?"

"…What do you want to say by saying this?"

"Just checking."

The mysterious man looked very happy: "Do you know the 'Knights of the Dark Eclipse'?"

"Dark Eclipse?"

Ryan frowned and said, "It doesn't sound like Hedley's regular knight order."

"Haha, its organization is as correct as it can be, but it rarely appears in the public eye. The mission of this knight group is only one, and that is... to resist the demons on the border who are ready to attack the Hedley Empire."

As he spoke, the mysterious man folded his hands and supported his chin, looking directly at Ryan: "How about it, are you interested in joining Dark Eclipse?"

Just then, the waiter brought two glasses of juice to the table for both of them. Ryan picked up the juice and took a sip, then remained silent.

"Why? Are you afraid of dying under the sword of the demons? In fact, in my opinion, you are living in a daze here, which is actually no different from being dead.

I promise that your time in the Dark Knights will not be long. When the time is up, you can retire and go home. I will ensure that you will be successful and have not only your own title but also your own fiefdom."

After pondering for a while, Ryan put down the juice and looked at the mysterious man in front of him: "What's your name?"

Seeing that Ryan had agreed to join Dark Eclipse, the mysterious man was overjoyed.

After looking around, he secretly lifted Ryan's hood from an angle that no one else could see, revealing his handsome face and long golden hair:

"The Grand Prince of the Hedley Empire, Kyle Hedley, please give me your guidance."

The memory projection stopped abruptly here.

Just as the little girls were savoring the memory, someone suddenly knocked on Nanali's bedroom door, and Ryan's voice came over:

"Are you still awake? Remember to go to bed early."

Several little girls were almost frightened and jumped up, but Nanali pretended to be calm and replied: "I know!"

"That's good."

Then, Ryan's footsteps gradually faded away.

Xiao Shi, who hurriedly put away the projection, breathed a sigh of relief and patted his flat chest: "This time it was too dangerous. We were almost discovered."

Amy looked at Xiao Shi and said mercilessly: "In fact, I think Mr. Butler should have discovered it a long time ago."

Hour:"……"

Windsor was still in a daze.

When she saw Ryan, she wondered what kind of past this gentleman had gone through to become what he is today.

Now, after watching a section of memory through the projection of the hour, she not only did not have a deeper understanding of Ryan, but felt even more curious.

Noelle looked at Xiaoshi with sparkling eyes: "Sister Xiaoshi, are we going to see the story of Dad joining the Dark Knights next time?"

Xiaoshi nodded and said, "Yes, I will show you the memories of how the master joined the Dark Eclipse and how the master obtained the magic sword when I come back!"

Hearing that the memories about the magic sword were finally going to be released, the little lolis became more and more excited.

"Speaking of which, Master is about to leave. Can't we do something for him?"

"Well...how about preparing a farewell party for Dad? Ask Sister Deli to prepare some snacks, and then invite Dad over to play with us."

"Well... it's not impossible! After all, that guy is really hard-working. Let's hold the party in my bedroom."

"it is good!"
