In the middle of the street.

Two heroic and valiant rows of knights stood equipped with spears and silver shields, donned in silvery white armor covered with magical runes, and draped with cloaks embroidered with the Radiant Chivalric Order’s emblem. They rode the snowy white unicorn mounts that exhibited their identities. This was the Radiant Chivalric Order’s standard mount. The whiter the color of the unicorn was, the more noble its bloodline was. Every unicorn was astonishingly fast and had an amazing charge. The high end unicorns even had some defensive and support magic, making it one of the most ideal mounts for the knights.

Each knight had extraordinarily good looks and awe-inspiring temperament. Afterall, they represented the face of the temple. To be honest, if the knights all had sharp-billed mouths, chins that stuck out like an ape, and looked repulsive, there wouldn’t really be any credibility if they were said to be the righteous holy knights.

The dashing and charming squad of knights attracted the unmarried young girls within the crowd; dying their cheeks in red, setting their spring hearts aflutter. They repeatedly tossed out flirting looks towards the knights’ unwavering eyes, in hopes that they could get a favorable glance from them.

Although the Temple’s Knights practiced the practice of cold abstinence, the Knights were still able to marry a wife and have children. Besides, being a Temple Knight’s wife was much more noble than even a Viscountess. People couldn’t help but be moved.

The knight leading was particularly striking. He had a head of thin, fragmented silver hair that was slightly curled. A small handful of hair was intentionally left longer below, tied with a white silk belt. A silver earring was worn at the tip of his ear. His deep green eyes were like top grade emeralds. The astonishingly handsome face was expressionless, are like good emeralds, the handsome face is expressionless, as he turned a blind eye to the flowers and handkerchiefs thrown by the girls on both sides. His straight pursed lips appeared a little serious and indifferent.

He was the chief knight of the Knights of Light.

Gallois Cassius.

Elulu remembered that the young Gallois was not this cold and unfeeling when she was still a saintess. His green eyes would occasionally reveal a bit of tenderness. It wasn’t known what he had experienced within these years but although he had grown taller and became more handsome, he had also become even more cold and indifferent.

Elulu only glanced at him for a moment, but that man seemed to have noticed as he turned his head slightly, scaring Elulu into quickly lowering her head.

Afterwards, under the cover of the crowd, she looked all over before she finally found the excited Nina.

She let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly squeezed herself to Nina’s side, trying to hold onto her. However, Nina was extremely unwilling as she dodged to the side. In the end, she crashed into a passerby and was harshly pushed by that person angrily, falling straight into the middle of the into , but Nina reluctantly hid aside, but hit the passerby, and was pushed by the man angrily and fell to the middle of the street.

Coincidentally falling just in front of the Knights.

Elulu almost fainted.

No one knew better than her that in the case where Nina stirred the protective unicorn into treating her as an enemy, she would be trampled into minced meat.

While there was still some distance, Elulu hastily rushed out of the crowd to pull Nina.

But she forgot that she was only eleven years old, and her body was thinner and weaker than even an ordinary person. How could she possibly pull Nina who was not lighter than herself?

Instead, she was dragged to the ground.

“Uwah…Lulu, my leg is broken…It hurts ah!!”

Nina was still bawling. She didn’t realize in the slightest how dangerous of a situation she was in right now.

But the unicorn’s front hooves were already highly raised. It could be soon seen that these two little girls were about to become blood splatters on the spot.

It was then that a figure quickly flashed by.

Elulu only felt her waist tighten as a cold breath entered the tip of her nose, instantly stimulating her mind into clearing up.

“Gal…Lo, lord…thank you.”

Elulu almost had a slip of the tongue but she still managed to catch herself in time.

She was still absorbed under her throbbing heart, rejoicing from her near death escape. She completely didn’t notice that her veil was pulled back a little, revealing half of her soft, white, tender little face and her moist eyes trembling from panic.

Feeling the other person’s eyes were on her face, Elulu was startled and quickly pulled back the veil. She softly said, “Milord, I’m already fine now. You can let me down.”

After waiting for a while, the other party didn’t have any response. She only heard the man’s deep cold voice laced with amazement.

“…Your Highness?”
