Lu Xi opened his eyes dimly and yawned heavily, but his mind was still a little chaotic and low. The months have been a tiring journey from Elichar to Carmelo by boat and horse change, but it was not a pleasant journey to remember. If it is in normal times, after such a long period of fatigue, he will definitely sleep on a time or more before he is willing, which has nothing to do with the fact that he has reached 38 and has been far from the average of ordinary people who speculate in stocks, but it is related to the habits of otaku.

However, he was unruly and unruly, as he knew at least that there would be a dinner party waiting for him, and it would be rude to keep his master waiting. Before falling asleep, he reminded himself that he must wake up in three hours, and if he can't do it, Angie and Arnold, who are hiding in his shadow, will definitely wake up according to their own orders and use more drastic methods to wake them up.

Fortunately, he still woke up on his own, although he had low blood pressure, although he was dazed, although he was in a very bad mood.

"What time is it?"

"Half past five in the evening." A familiar woman's voice rang in her ears.

"Oh, then it's not too late!" Lu Xi, who was groggy, felt in a trance that it should be Anji's voice answering him, so he shook his head and said, "Alas, in fact, I really want to sleep again now, why do I have to rush today?" Just so tired and reluctant to pass, maybe it won't leave a good image for Artoria's parents. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Why do you want to apologize? Well, then again, why do I have to make a good impression of Artoria's parents? It's not like I'm going to propose. ”

"Mention ...... Propose? This, this. Not mentally prepared at all......"

At this time, Lu Xi, who gradually came to his senses, finally realized. The voice of asking and answering with himself is not Anji's at all. He quickly rubbed his eyes, and completely regained his senses. When I opened my eyes wide, I was greeted by a beautiful face that I had not seen for a long time, with delicate eyebrows, a pair of dark green eyes, a delicate and lovely goose egg face, and a brilliant, typical Nord aristocratic blonde hair.

"Artoria?" Lu Xi was stunned for two seconds, and then quickly jumped up from the bed. Fortunately, because it was a nap, he was too lazy to take off his clothes, otherwise he would have a bad spring.

"How did you get in?" Lu Xigan asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm worried you'll be late when you fall asleep. That's why I came over to take a look. Artoria blushed and lowered her head, making an almost inaudible sound. The light of the fireplace shone on the snow-white skin on the girl's shoulders, as if gilded with a layer of silver.

The knightly princess of Virgia is dressed today without any knightly elements, but a princess of 100% purity. She wore a pure white dress, the white gauze skirt almost dragged to the ground, but there was no fabric above the chest, revealing the delicate skin on the shoulders and upper arms, and the less objective career line.

Theoretically, fair-skinned people should wear dark-colored dresses. But Artoria's temperament is awe-inspiring and noble, and she is inherently suitable for colors as pure white or sky blue, which are holly. In addition to the pure white skirt on her body, the girl also tied a bow with a white silk scarf at the back of her head, almost covering the somewhat conservative classical hair. It adds a bit of cuteness to myself.

To be honest, Lu Xi personally thought that Artoria was majesticly wearing armor and holding a divine sword. In fact, it was also her most attractive moment, but at this time, this serious knight princess wore such an elegant dress like an ordinary girl. But on the contrary, it is full of a strange attraction, especially for Shi Luxi, who has seen her sassy and heroic appearance on the battlefield.

The knight princess is really suitable for such a dress. But she doesn't feel it herself. Especially when Lu Xi looked himself up and down with naked eyes, he was even more restless, and the red glow had spread down from his face, almost covering half of his body.

"Artoria really fits this outfit."

"Ah, really?" The girl looked at me with joy, "This dress was given to me by the queen mother when I was sixteen years old, well, but I always felt that it was not suitable for me, so I didn't wear it." Today, the queen mother forced me to wear it, and said that if I changed it without permission, I would deduct my dessert in the afternoon...... That's why ...... Well, is it really a good fit? ”

GoodJob, Her Majesty! Know what tricks work best for your daughter.

"It's really suitable, and if Artoria wears this dress all the time, the lads of all Virgia will be smitten."

"I don't really care about that." The redness on the girl's face was even more obvious, as if she was congested, but she still said in a serious tone: "But such clothes usually affect your actions too much, as long as you wear them once or twice once in a while." After all, my ambition is to be a knight! ”

…… Sure enough, it's Artoria I know.

Perhaps the knight princess was more offbeat, disliking jewelry, which is a shiny thing that dragons and women like, and she hardly wore any valuables such as necklaces, earrings, and forehead ornaments, except for a ring on the index finger of her left and right hand.

The ring on the index finger of his right hand was engraved with the coat of arms of a three-headed dragon, which was supposed to be some kind of token or something. The nobles of the Gabo kingdoms liked to use the coat of arms engraved on the seal and the ring of the family coat of arms to represent their status, and also used it as a private seal.

Artoria was also a princess and a future Empress Nord, and (though she didn't know it herself) was normal to have such a heraldic ring, as Karin also had one.

In addition, the ring on the middle finger of Artoria's left hand is swarthy and chic, and the shape is composed of two snakes coiled together, and the two grinning snake mouths spit out snake letters, and a red gem is entwined around it.

This kind of weird shape, the gothic wind blowing ring should be more suitable for the radio wave system or the belly black system, how is it not suitable for a fresh temperament and pure heart like Artoria, and it is not particularly compatible with a pure white dress.

"This?" As if sensing Lu Xi's gaze, Artoria raised the ring on her left hand and showed a bright smile: "I've always worn it." ”

That's right? So why are you wearing it?

Lu Xi pondered for a second. Finally, before Artoria realized it, it dawned on her that this ring was given to each other when she destroyed another group of Abyss Knights to divide the spoils?

"Mom told me that this was a priceless magic ring. That's why I wear it all the time. The girl said with a blushing face. Of course, the reason why I kept wearing it was because it was a magic ring or because it was given by Lu Xi. This can only be judged by the parties themselves.

For the first time, Lu Xi remembered that he glanced at the ring with the probing technique, and his heart suddenly twitched unnaturally.

(Name: Ring of the Abyssal Two-Headed Serpent.) Quality: Golden Epic. Attributes: Strength +5, Constitution +5, Fire Damage +20, Fire Resistance +20, Darkness Resistance +20, Wound Tear +20%, Attack Drain Life and Body +15%. Built-in skill: Fire Serpent)

Strictly put away, this ring should be the best thing on those Abyss Knights, right? Why am I so generous and give it away?

"Artoria. Do you know exactly how this ring should be used? ”

"This ...... I don't know, but after wearing this ring, I can clearly feel that my physical strength and strength have increased a lot, and I also have a burning and burning effect when I attack. Magic is a magical thing. ”

Hehe, that's it, anyway, I was quite moved to see the girl's appearance of this ring so precious. And a gold-level ring for a gold-level 5-order girl's heart, this business should be Haishu profitable.

That's right, Artoria is now a Golden Tier 5. The strength is a little better than the last time we met, and I don't know if it's because of the effect of the ring or because of what miserable workout she has carried out again.

With Artoria out of the tower, Lu Xi felt the strength of the Nord royal family, which is called daughter control and sister control. The four Nord Royal Knight Brothers stood by the door like statues, and their average strength was above the Silver Rank 5. Although he is not a peerless powerhouse, he is definitely a fierce general on the battlefield, but now he is the follower of this little girl who is less than twenty years old. And this is also a look of being willing to eat like a treasure, and everyone holds their heads high, as if they are ready to complete tasks such as saving the world.

Saying. Has the Virginia Empire been so powerful that it has become so strong? Could it be that your own princess will encounter any danger in her own palace?

The last time Lu Xi encountered in the City of Radiance, the Silver 10th Order, Artoria's Guardian Knight Faos was also among them. Lu Xi and Artoria were seen walking out side by side. His eyes were a little complicated, but he still saluted him with very proper etiquette.

In addition, two beautiful young women who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing skirts and almost identical appearances, had already hurried to greet them.

The twin beauties were dressed as court ladies, but if they looked closely, they were also silver masters, a level 35 assassin and a level 37 scout.

Maybe under the fluffy skirt, there were throwing knives tied to the fair, round thighs. Judging from the appearance, the twin sisters are two very ordinary soft girls, and they seem to have a very close relationship with Artoria, chattering next to her and whispering something, and from time to time projecting ambiguous eyes, making Lu Xi restless, making the red glow on Artoria's face almost congested, and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

All in all, Artoria is much more exaggerated than Karin when it comes to pomp, although she doesn't want to.

The sisters and daughters of the whole world, you are really weak, learn a little about the Nord royal family! See how people dote on the pearl of the palm of their home?

So, surrounded by six silver-level masters who cosplayed bodyguards and maids, Lu Xi and Artoria passed through the third wall of the Skyrim Palace, and finally entered the inner palace located on the top of the mountain, which is where Artoria's family lives and the ruling core of the Virginia Empire.
