Chapter 1 There are no good people in this world 1
"It's hard to believe that this is possible!" Looking at the big screen on the wall, I felt like my lungs were going to explode.
"Yaoyao, you don't have to go! The Black Princess won't go, right? The White Princess doesn't know which island she's having fun on right now, you don't have to go either!" I turned around and said to Yaoyao. Yaoyao raised her head, a tired look on her face.
"I must go tomorrow."
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Because this is my duty as a princess. I am a princess, born to be one." Yaoyao said quietly, her eyes fixed on the big screen. She seemed to realize that it was getting late, so she stood up.
According to the rules of TK Academy, on the day when the Royal Knight takes office, the princess is obliged to go to the front yard of the Knight Academy to greet the Royal Knight and congratulate him. Which old man made this rule? Are you kidding me? There are both princesses and Royal Knights. If an academy is so complicated, do they still need to elect a president?
It's so frustrating!
The key point is that Royal Knight Cisse, who forced Yun Que to betray Princess Red, and now even wants the princess to wait for him and congratulate him like a fool on the front yard. Moreover, among the princesses of the three branches, only Princess Red went to wait for him and congratulate him. Who is he to be so prestigious!
"I'm leaving. Will you accompany me tomorrow?" While I was indignant, Yaoyao had already straightened her long skirt and stood by the stairs at the door. She was about to walk down the stairs and walk to the front yard of the Knights' Court to wait for the man named Xisai.
"If you insist on going, I will accompany you." After saying that, I walked over and stood with Yaoyao.
I will not leave Yaoyao like Yun Que. I will stand by her side all my life and will not leave her for anyone!
"But, Princess!" I walked out of the small room and came to where there were other people. I naturally changed my words and called her "Princess". "I think you really don't need to go. Didn't the Black Princess go to congratulate him? She is still his princess!"
"Tomorrow, can I be like the Black Princess? Will those people allow me to be like her?" Yaoyao frowned and said as if she was about to cry. Suddenly, I felt extremely heartbroken. No one knows Yaoyao's life better than me. What she wears, what she eats, and where she goes are all arranged by others early in the day. She has no freedom and no happiness at all.
"It's my fault. Yaoyao, I won't let you down." I said silently, and then followed Yaoyao's pace.
The monthly meeting of the Grand Knights had not yet ended, and there was no one on the front yard at the foot of Knight Hill. The golden sunset gently cast its light on the white ground, and the occasional crow's cry could be heard from the surrounding dark green trees. The whole world was quiet and sacred.
Yaoyao took me and walked silently to the center of the front yard, where we stood, waiting for the bell to end the meeting.
"when!"
The bells rang suddenly, and there was a sound of crows and rustling leaves in the woods, as if the whole world suddenly came alive. I looked up and saw several dark figures appear on the front yard. The knights had their own elevator, so they were always the first to appear.
Appearing in front of me at this moment are the four knights of the Black Knight branch, the White Knight Akihiro, and - Skylark.
The six tall figures were cast into long shadows by the setting sun. I saw the only girl among them, Qing Nana, and she was also looking at me. That girl was very strange, she was a special student of the academy, and she came from a commoner family like me, so when I saw her in Xisai's team, I didn't know why, I felt a little complicated.
"Red Princess!" Xisai's unique sheep voice came, and I quickly shifted my attention to him.
At this time, behind them, other knights also appeared one after another, and the entire square was gradually submerged by black dots.
"Lord Royal Knight Xisai." Yaoyao knelt slightly beside me, and out of politeness, I could only kneel and salute Xisai who was walking over. Looking at the large knights who walked up to Yaoyao and me, I couldn't help but say in my heart: Xisai is so short!
Compared to Nana, he may be quite tall, but standing between Qiu Qianxun and Merlin, he is just like a dwarf! I don't agree with such a person being a Royal Knight from the bottom of my heart. A Royal Knight should be like Qiu Qianxun, handsome and cool, like an iceberg, and have a poker face.
I couldn't help but sneak a peek at Qiu Qianxun. In the twilight, he stood tall and handsome, like someone who walked out of a comic book. I couldn't understand why even a man like him would choose Xisai.
"Thank you, Princess Red." Xisai pulled Yaoyao up, knelt down to salute her, and kissed the back of her hand. During the whole process, Yunque stood next to Xisai, turned his head and looked at Yaoyao, without saying a word, and there was no expression on his face.
"Congratulations on becoming the new Royal Knight of TK Academy. I hope TK Academy can become better under your leadership." Yaoyao said with a smile, and Xisai also smiled. Seeing that this uncomfortable scene was about to pass, I was deeply proud of Yaoyao, and I also let out a long sigh, intending to leave with her.
Suddenly, Xisai grabbed Yaoyao's hand.
"What are you doing!" I rushed over. You know, I'm the karate champion in the history of TK Academy for six consecutive years. Otherwise, why do you think I became the personal knight of the Red Princess?
"Ahhh! I just wanted to give this thing to the princess." Xisai let go of Yaoyao's hand in panic, and waved a mobile phone in front of me with a look of horror on his face.
cell phone?
I don't understand.
"Red Princess doesn't have a cell phone, right?" Xisai tilted his head to explain to me, "What if a Royal Knight like me needs to talk to the Red Princess about something? So... this is just a small gift, not a token of respect."
He gave Yaoyao a cell phone? I took the cell phone from Xisai while protecting Yaoyao behind me. At this time, other knights had already come to us. I felt that Yaoyao and I had become the lonely and pitiful "red dots" among a lot of "black dots". This situation... How could it be so similar to the mafia threatening a decent woman? In this case, for Yaoyao's safety, it would be better not to anger Xisai. I thought to myself: It's just a cell phone, just take it.
But I took that thing... Whose phone is this? Why is it so fancy and ugly? It has lace on the screen protector, the back is pink, and there are those horrible little flower patterns all over it, and there is a metal decal with the word "LOVE" under the camera!
Oh my goodness! Shouldn't you give someone a new gift?
I looked at the phone with a distorted expression, and suddenly, I heard Ying Luanzhong's scream: "Ah! Where's my phone? Why is it gone?"
I felt like the whole world suddenly went dark! I raised my head stiffly, wanting to say something to Xisai, but he looked serious, and his voice seemed to have become that of another person as he said to me, "You are...classmate Duanmu Mingri, right? Take the gift! Princess Hong, I won't give it to you. Bye!"
What are you doing?
Does this guy know what knightly etiquette is and who is standing in front of him? Also, this phone should belong to Sakura Ranshige! Has anyone ever given stolen things away?
"Tomorrow, we go." Yaoyao beside me suddenly said to me when I was distressed. I had a lot of things to say, but when I turned my head to look at Yaoyao, I knew that her patience had reached its limit.
To me, nothing is more important than Yaoyao. I protected her through the encirclement of the black knights, and the sun seemed to suddenly return to us. I heard a faint sound and realized that Yaoyao was crying, crying quietly.
"What should we do tomorrow ?" she asked me.
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only silently hold the ugly phone that Xisai gave me.
