When the footsteps sounded again, it was ten minutes later.

In the past ten minutes, Dean carefully packed up his belongings, and, holding the head of the bed, stood up - although the tingling and weakness in his body made Dean frown, he did not allow himself to be weak and run away from his physical discomfort.

Don't underestimate your usual habits, they are the most important thing when it comes to life and death! ’

These were the words of the old knight, as always to Dean's approval.

If he becomes weak and has the desire to escape because of the stinging and weakness of his body at this time, then in the face of greater danger, even if he is unharmed, he will still subconsciously think of escaping - after all, this is a habit.

And Dean would never allow himself to do that.

Call!

When he finally straightened his back, Dean couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief—he could feel the sweat on his forehead and back, but Dean enjoyed standing more than that.

Dean has absolutely no objection to the feeling of lying down, because, too, he needs sleep.

However, that doesn't mean he's nostalgic for his sickbed.

Hearing the footsteps, Dean tidied up his clothes slightly—just plain pajama liners and trousers, but Dean kept them as smooth as possible.

Knock, knock......

is not in a hurry, and in the rhythmic knocking sound, it shows the self-cultivation of the knocker; And the obviously slightly lower knock on the door, obviously worried, suddenly disturbed Dean, who was recuperating from his injuries.

To this, Dean said with a kind smile, "Please come in!" ”

The door was gently pushed open.

The cloaked figure appeared in Dean's field of vision, and the other party walked into the room. Gently close the door. And then. Take off your hood.

The long golden hair, pouring down like a waterfall, and the emerald green eyes, stained the whole room with a touch of agility.

"Your Highness!"

Looking at this person who was forever buried in his heart, Dean was stunned for a moment, and then saluted almost instinctively.

However, the bent down just now gave Dean a violent feeling of vertigo - no doubt. The reunion made Dean forget about the state of his body.

When Dean was about to fall again, the Emerald Grand Duke reappeared beside Dean again, lifted him up, picked him up, and placed him on the bed.

"Don't be stubborn, no one here will see it except me!"

The Emerald Archduke prevented Dean from getting out of bed again, her clear gaze with a hint of unwavering rejection.

"Okay!"

Dean felt it on his shoulder. The strength of the palm of the Jade Grand Duke's hand, and the meaning in the eyes of the other party. Eventually, with an embarrassed wry smile, he leaned back on his pillow - this was the second time, right? Dean counts the number of times he's been 'picked up'.

And Dean had no intention of resisting again.

After all, the past relationship made Dean very clear that the female archduke in front of her had a rather stubborn temper, and it was absolutely difficult to change it in the things she decided.

However, fortunately, this female archduke always distinguishes between right and wrong.

Seeing that Dean didn't mean to get up again, the Grand Duchess moved a chair in the room, took off the cloak that was covered, and put the cloak straight on the back of the chair, and sat on the edge of Dean's bed like this, looking at Dean with emerald green eyes, and said in a clear voice: "Thank you!" ”

"What?"

Both eyes were attracted by the familiar knight's uniform with green emblems on a white background, and Dean, who was caught in the memory, obviously did not hear what the Grand Duchess said again.

"I thank Ken for what you have done for Vauban and me before!"

The Jade Grand Duke did not show the slightest irritation, on the contrary, with a very serious attitude, once again expressed his gratitude to Dean.

"Your Highness, this is what I should do!"

"No, in the face of the situation at that time, no one would say anything even if you ran away...... But you've done something far beyond your ability – so I have to thank you for it, and I can't wait to express my gratitude...... Therefore, I have come to see you before the Marquis Vauban does! ”

Dean said from the bottom of his heart, the sincerity in his eyes made the corners of the Jade Archduke's mouth slightly pursed, and a shallow smile appeared on that beautiful face, almost making Dean fall into a trance again - undoubtedly, for Dean, except for Lennie, the Archduke was the most resistless woman he had.

However, the calmness and tenacity cultivated in his previous life as an assassin did not make a fool of himself again.

Although here is just like the Grand Duchess said, only the two of them, and even, the Grand Duchess will not mind, but this does not mean that Dean himself will not mind.

In front of the women you care about, men, you always have to be at your best, don't you?

Dean is no exception.

Luckily, Dean did a decent job.

"Rob?"

Dean uses topics to grab his attention.

"Hmm!"

The grand duchess bowed slightly, and in her shallow smile, a touch of cunning suddenly appeared, she pointed to the door of the room, and said, "That old marquis, still sighing softly in the hall in front of you!" He must be worried, and you will swear an oath directly to me, and then, follow me out of Vaubonshire! ”

"It is my honor to be able to serve His Highness!"

Dean said with a smile - he didn't bother with why the Grand Duchess was able to hear a sigh from hundreds of yards away, after all, the strength of the gold level was enough to explain it.

"So, are you willing to go back to the three southern counties with me?"

The Grand Duchess looked at Dean intently.

Faced with such a female archduchess, Dean almost subconsciously agreed; However, just as the words were about to be spoken, he thought about the situation he was facing.

Obviously, with his previous appearance, the female archduke's appreciation for him, as long as he went to the three southern counties, would inevitably be reused.

And Dean is also from the heart, and is very willing to follow the Archduchess away.

But...... Blood Moon Wars!

Thinking of the war that would destroy Yiqiē, Dean couldn't agree.

After all, it is well known. The four northern counties are the real defense towns of the Emerald Kingdom and the places where infantry, cavalry and other sources of troops are raised. Although the three southern counties are full of flowers. But more often than not, it is dominated by the navy.

Ships against cavalry?

Unless the warship can go to land, it is simply impossible.

And Dean didn't think he was capable, so he took the ship on land and competed with the iron cavalry of Siti.

So, after opening his mouth, Dean shook his head—

"I am now the head of the Knights of Fecharon, but I am willing to serve His Highness!"

Dean said apologetically.

There is no more explanation though. But a qiē is already clear and clear.

After all, the Knights of Fecharon were in the territory of Tyre, which was a territory of Vauban County.

"For the honor of the ancestors? Your ancestors will be proud of your choice! ”

The Grand Duchess looked at Dean with a hint of understanding flashing in her emerald eyes.

Obviously, the identity that Dean had been cultivating before was beginning to play a role—no doubt, as a Grand Duchess who followed the chivalric tradition, she was very understanding and supportive of the practice of using military exploits to restore the family's reputation.

And. She looked at Dean as he went from hesitant to determined. And he did not skimp on his praise-

"If, I just say that if - the three southern counties still welcome you, a territory outside the southern port county, I am willing to keep it for you!"

The Grand Duchess gave her promise very solemnly.

"Thank you very much!"

Dean, who was sitting on the pillow, sat up as straight as possible to express her gratitude, and this behavior made the Grand Duchess press Dean back to the bed again.

"Your body is weak, try to rest...... Do you know what the spell you used before? ”

The archduchess frowned slightly, obviously not really blaming Dean, but worried.

"I don't know, it's just a family hand-down as the last hope item!"

Dean replied in the words he had already thought of.

Even in the face of the Grand Duchess, there are some things that Dean cannot say clearly-after all, according to the character of the Grand Duchess, if she really knew that he had gone to 'dig' the tomb of the conquering king, she would definitely be disgusted, if not disgusted, and Dean did not want such a situation.

Therefore, he kept his mouth shut about white lies.

As soon as he pushed it away, the family that his body couldn't remember clearly was good.

"One last hope? Well, it can also be called the last hope...... However, it is clear that the passage of time has made your family's record of this spell incomplete - the Demon Dragon Prison is one of its many names, as its name suggests, the thunder and lightning gate you see is the prison that holds all kinds of demon dragons and evil dragons, and the two sides exchange the form of a contract for their own needs! However, as far as I know, anyone who signs a contract with a dragon or an evil dragon will not end well-as a demon dragon or evil dragon who has been expelled and imprisoned by the dragon clan, they are more cunning and evil than anyone who signs a contract! ”

The Grand Duchess nodded, and then, solemnly, explained the danger to Dean.

"Not anyone?"

"Yes, not a single one!"

Faced with the female archduke's stern answer, Dean subconsciously thought of the conquering king - the other party's swordsmanship, body, ability, plus these two scrolls, Dean inexplicably felt that there was a connection between them.

If you look through that diary......

Subconsciously, Dean thought of the book he had eaten.

Obviously, in that diary, there should have been something recorded about the 'Dragon's Prison'.

However, since it has been 'eaten', Dean naturally can't 'spit it out', so such regrets disappear in an instant - for an item that is impossible to recover, Dean will definitely not waste too much thought.

After all, it's an object, not a person.

"Your Highness, can you tell me more about the Demon Dragon Prison?"

Dean, who had collected his thoughts, looked at the female archduke in front of him.

"Of course!"

Touching Dean's serious gaze, the Grand Duke smiled lightly.
