Chapter 170: My Knight Lord~

"Sigh, I have to come back again tomorrow morning."

After leaving the Winter Cathedral, Brenna sighed softly and said.

If she could, she would certainly want to resolve the matters in Winter City as quickly as possible, but reality often does not go as smoothly as she wishes.

Bishop Muse needs to listen to the voice of the Lady of the Dark Night to decide whether to help her.

This process will take an entire day; only when Brenna returns here tomorrow morning will she be able to get an answer from Bishop Muse.

But whether the other party will agree to her request is entirely an unknown.

And for the sake of this unknown answer, she needs to stay in Winter City for one more full day.

Regarding this, Brenna can only hope that no troublesome matters will arise in Frostfall City while she is away.

"Perhaps I am just overthinking it." Shaking her head, Brenna thought to herself.

It is only for a few days, not a month or two.

It is not as if Frostfall City would completely fall apart without her and Yun Mu.

Whether it is the active Guard Hall or Transcendental organizations like the Painter Association, clearly none of them would want a true Evil God to descend upon the city.

In the end, her uneasy thoughts are entirely caused by being too far away from Frostfall City and being completely unable to understand what is happening there.

Crossing the street in front of the main entrance of the Winter Cathedral, Brenna looked toward the spot where she had previously parted ways with Yun Mu.

Miss Yun was not there; in her place was a figure with beautiful golden hair.

Brenna recognized that figure; it was the Heroic Spirit contracted by Miss Yun.

Was the name Lucy?

"Excuse me, are you Miss Lucy?"

Recalling the Heroic Spirit's name, Brenna walked forward and asked.

"It is me."

Hearing Brenna's voice, Lucy turned to look at her and said.

As early as when Brenna walked out of the Winter Cathedral, she had used her Blood Perception ability to discover the other party, but she simply did not take the initiative to greet her.

"Where did Miss Yun go?"

After confirming the Heroic Spirit's identity, Brenna asked Lucy with some confusion.

"She discovered someone was following us, so she took the initiative to lure them elsewhere to deal with them," Lucy explained to Brenna.

"It should be over by now," Lucy said, making a judgment based on her Blood Perception ability.

"It's already over?"

Lucy did not speak, but merely raised her right hand and pointed her thumb in the direction beside her.

Yun Mu could be seen walking toward them, bringing along a man who looked completely distraught.

"Is that person the stalker?" Brenna asked Lucy.

"That's right." It was not Lucy who answered her, but Yun Mu.

Turning her head to look at the man following behind her, she said: "This guy is a subordinate of the Prince, and he received orders to follow us."

"However, his mission was only to follow us."

Pausing for a moment, she said with a strange expression: "I don't know whether to call this guy overconfident or too careless; after discovering there were no Shadow Guards by our side, he took the risk to close the distance between us, and then I discovered him."

"After a brief exchange, I defeated him, and he confessed everything he knew."

"So it really was that guy who sent him..." After hearing Yun Mu's words, Brenna looked troubled and said: "My return to Winter City still couldn't be kept from them."

"Hey, you," she called out to the dark-skinned man. After noticing the man had regained his senses, she said: "Go back and tell my brother that I only came to Winter City to handle some business and will leave tomorrow at noon, so he can rest assured."

"... Yes, I will report truthfully to His Highness the Prince," the dark-skinned man nodded and said.

"Oh, and one more thing," Brenna thought of something and continued: "Tell him I won't change my mind. Whether it's being the monarch or being his subordinate, I have no interest. Tell him to give up early."

"Yes, yes," the man said, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"That's all I have to say, you can go now." After giving her instructions, Brenna did not make things difficult for him and waved her hand.

"You're just letting him go like that?"

After the dark-skinned man ran off as if granted amnesty, Yun Mu looked at Brenna and asked.

"What else?" Brenna glanced at her and said: "We don't have time to waste on that brother of mine."

"I hope that after he hears the words relayed by that Shadow Guard, he won't come to bother me anymore."

Sighing imperceptibly, Brenna turned and walked toward the distance.

Seeing this, Yun Mu followed behind Brenna, listening to her recount what happened inside the Winter Cathedral.

"So, you mean we have to stay here for another day?" After hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Brenna said with some helplessness: "Bishop Muse needs to communicate with the Lady of the Dark Night, and we won't get his answer until tomorrow morning."

"And the Steam Train takes 14 hours to return, so the earliest we can get back to Frostfall City is tomorrow night."

"Well, since we're already here, why not look around?" Yun Mu suggested.

For her predecessor, who had never left Frostfall City since childhood, every piece of land in the Royal Capital was fresh and new.

Yun Mu was naturally no exception; she was very interested in this kind of city that she could only see in fantasy works before she transmigrated.

As for Frostfall City... she was not as worried as Brenna.

It was not that she did not care about that place, but she believed that worrying was useless, so it was better to relax and have a good time for a day.

You have to know that ever since she transmigrated, there hadn't been a single day where she wasn't on edge.

Now that she was finally far away from that dangerous city, she inevitably wanted to temporarily forget about things there and have a good rest for a day.

"That's not impossible." Brenna's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and she said: "I know there are many fun places in the Royal Capital, but actually..."

"Because of my status, I have never been to those places to play."

"Would you be willing to accompany me?" She looked at Yun Mu and invited her with a smile.

"Of course I am willing, beautiful lady." Thinking of something, Yun Mu grabbed her palm and performed a hand-kissing gesture with elegant manners.

Passersby on both sides of the street were attracted by this scene and could not help but stop their footsteps to look over.

She was currently wearing an exquisite men's formal suit, plus the sunglasses she was wearing.

If one did not look at her hair and her slightly heaving chest, I fear many people would mistake her gender.

"Hehehe."

Ignoring the onlookers around her, Brenna covered her mouth and chuckled twice, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you to protect me well, my Lord Knight~"

PS: I didn't expect that in just one month, I would have used up all my points.

From now on, I won't even be able to redeem a single leave note.

I will have no way out!

For the sake of perfect attendance, Ura! (End of chapter)
