Chapter 7 I Won't Leave You, Great Knight 1
The alarm on my cell phone woke me up from bed. I was almost always woken up by this sound in the past few days. What could it be? No one called me. The reason my cell phone was vibrating was because I received a new message on my personal homepage on the school network.
I, Duanmu Mingri, have finally become famous in TK, although it is not a good reputation.
"Duanmu Mingri, what is the relationship between you and Gaogong Zhuque..."
"Duanmu Mingri, do you still have self-respect? Weren't you Princess Red's best friend before? You..."
Oh, everyone seems to know my name, although I am not happy to be called by my first name. I quickly scanned the content on my phone, and a message written in bright red font suddenly irritated my nerves.
"Duanmu Mingri, you are also a knight, right? Even if you are of humble origin, you are still a knight of TK! Why didn't you protect the princess at the critical moment, but instead did bad things with Takamiya Suzaku? It turns out that even TK can't turn a commoner into a knight!"
What does being a commoner have to do with being a knight? You can condemn me and accuse me at will, but why do you have to use my origin as an excuse? Is my common origin a reason for you to scold me at will without even remembering my name?
I felt a pain in my heart. Although I had been criticized too much for being with Suzaku for the past few days, which made me feel thicker-skinned, I didn't expect that I still felt heartbroken because I couldn't stand it. How strong does a person have to be to endure so much criticism and do what he thinks is right?
How strong does a person have to be to be able to endure the misunderstandings and dissatisfaction of others, continue to protect the people he cares about, and stick to his own beliefs?
I thought I was strong enough, but now I know I am still far from it. Sitting on the bed, I calmed down for a while, got up, put on my clothes, washed up and walked out of the room.
Sunday is the wedding of Suzaku and Yaoyao , and Suzaku has been very busy these days. A lot of things need to be prepared for marriage, and although the people from the Red Knights branch have agreed not to betray Suzaku within a month, it seems that few people are willing to help him prepare for this unpopular wedding.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I heard someone shouting at me: "Gorilla, if you get up so late, the bananas would have been eaten by others!"
First, I'm not an orangutan! Second, I'm helping you selflessly despite being scolded by many people. Do you understand this, Takamiya Suzaku?
"I won't help you with your work because the banana has been eaten!" I yelled at someone in the kitchen.
Here's the thing...because the food I cooked was so terrible , after someone fired all his servants, he had to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner himself.
"Now that you have pancakes to eat, you can finally work, right?" Zhuque came out with a plate of fragrant pancakes, put it in front of me as if giving alms to a beggar, and said while wiping his face.
I glanced at him, and since a good girl doesn't dare to fight with a man, I started eating.
"The flowers sent by the flower shop should have arrived today. I checked the class schedule, Xiao Ao and Qian Yuan both have classes, and I also have to go to see the cakes, so you must wait in the church in the morning. Do you understand?"
"Do I have any other choice? I can only work like a slave for you. Who told you that you are my breadwinner?"
As we were talking, I accidentally saw Zhuque's cell phone. I wondered if his phone was also like mine, constantly receiving vicious messages from those people on the school website.
"Stop talking nonsense! You'd better come here immediately after class this afternoon. I need your help with something." Suzaku said, threw down the schedule, suddenly looked up at me and asked, "Commoner! Aren't the pancakes made by Lord Suzaku delicious?"
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that I had been in a daze, wondering if Zhuque had also received as many vicious messages as I did, and if his situation was even worse than mine.
"Suzaku..." I just opened my mouth and suddenly I didn't know what to say. I felt very strange, as if it was strange that I cared about him at this moment instead of worrying that he was really going to marry Yaoyao.
"Lord Suzaku!" he corrected me, picking up his coat and walking towards the door. When I opened the door, I immediately saw a bunch of slogans and banners posted or hung on the trees and lampposts outside his house.
That is probably the result of the work of the "righteous men" led by the Black Princess.
"Takamiya Suzaku! You are the Great Knight! Do you understand?"
"Takamiya Suzaku! Release Princess Red!"
"Takamiya Suzaku! You tyrant..."
I could see the slogans everywhere without leaving my house, which made my worry look super childish. I didn't need to worry about him at all, because his situation was definitely a hundred or a thousand times worse than that of a small person like me.
I don't know if he would be heartbroken, or if he, as strong as he is, would be deeply hurt by those red slogans. He stood at the door for a while, looked at the slogans and banners outside the door, turned around calmly, and said to me: "Eat breakfast, then go to work, understand, gorilla?"
"If you call me an orangutan again, I will turn against you!"
"Hahaha..." Suzaku laughed happily, as if I was the only one in the world, laughing so happily.
Seeing his smile, my mood also improved, as if... Suddenly, he stopped smiling, turned his head to look out the door, and his expression became serious. I also became nervous, and without thinking twice, I jumped up from my seat and rushed to his side.
I'm his bodyguard! Slogans and insults are fine, but if anyone really wants to hurt him, there's no way!
