Chapter 199: The Invincible Hero

"My lord Hero, he is completely illiterate."

After revealing a shocking fact, the old knight glanced at the Princess watching the martial contest before continuing.

"Unlike the perfect knight portrayed in propaganda, capable in both literature and martial arts, gentle and refined, Lord Hero Lex's mind is actually not very sharp. He is not only illiterate and does not read books, but in reality, he understands nothing except the sword."

Kahn, an old knight who watched the Princess grow up, had never spoken these words to her; the Queen had actively concealed all records regarding the Hero.

Others also cooperated in beautifying Lord Hero. Everyone could understand the Queen's actions; after all, giving a child the impression of a perfect father is beneficial for her growth.

"Like Hero Laina, he also came from an ordinary village, but unlike Laina, who was diligent in study and learned and refined, he even despised and disliked scholars and etiquette. He often wore a tattered vest and wooden clogs when entering and leaving the royal palace."

The old knight tried to speak euphemistically, but the image of an uneducated street loafer had already leaped off the page.

He was actually slightly hesitant, but considering the subtle relationship between Li En and the Princess, perhaps he should speak out as well.

After all, Lord Hero was afflicted by a vicious curse; his news was destined to fade continuously with the passage of time.

By the time this batch of old men died, who would know what kind of person he truly was?

Was that perfect hero from the stories and classics really him? No, that was completely different.

"His temper is very impatient; he does whatever he thinks of immediately. He has strong initiative, but cannot read books; he falls asleep as soon as he looks at them."

Some people always slander that the Princess is not Lord Hero's child, but isn't that irritable, impatient nature that cannot read books exactly the same?!

Yes, although Dai Niya is a spellcaster, her academic grades have always been subtle; she merely uses her relatively high intelligence to forcibly memorize things.

The old knight, a Royal Knight like this, had seen no shortage of tutors driven away by the Princess, and the Queen, Your Majesty, coming to hit people with a scepter (stick).

Especially the rebellious personality in childhood was exactly the same as the Hero's.

Hearing the old knight speak thus, Li En fell silent. This heroic soul was extraordinary, very extraordinary.

Li Ensu had always been a top student; otherwise, he would not have easily passed the civil service exam. Ku Ku was actually not stupid either. Su Er, who seemed rough and bold, was a Mastered technique in laws. As for the Snake, needless to say, these heroic souls all understood knowledge very well and respected knowledge; in a sense, they could be called "cultivated within."

Knowledge itself is actually nothing, but with a reserve of knowledge, one can make rational and correct decisions.

If the Hero was completely uneducated, how could he make decisions? Was he a monster who naturally understood human affairs, or did he just act blindly on intuition?

"I am not saying Lord Hero is bad by saying this; in fact, it is quite the opposite. He is very skilled in the sword and on the battlefield. He seems to always know where the key point is. He bravely stands at the very front; he never knows fear."

In the old knight's eyes filled with longing, he recalled that the Hero seemed to have very outstanding intuition.

He could always see through the key to a problem at a glance and instinctively sense whether a person was good or bad. His talent was quite outrageous.

"Hey, cans, you are working so hard; you probably can't earn much money in a year, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you staring at me? I just spoke a big truth."

"How about, come work with me!"

"Money, honor, beauties, you will have everything you should have. Come work with me, and I will give it to you! Not to mention anything else, money is guaranteed, spoils are guaranteed. When you are old and retire, you can be wealthy landlords!"

Among the kingdom and palace knights who revered glory and etiquette, a bandit suddenly bursting in naturally brought many storms.

But recalling the past, the old knight was full of nostalgia and sighs.

"The Hero's sword moved forward without hesitation. He might not be a good person, but he is a true Hero."

The words were about enough here. Specifically mentioning some things, like taking knights to the pleasure district, opening a casino within the knightly order, beating up a duke's son after getting drunk, demolishing half of the duke's mansion, or suddenly disappearing from the military camp to go to nearby villages to flirt and date, seemed really unspeakable. The more he recalled, the more the old knight sweated profusely. The Lord Hero in his memory seemed to have actually done nothing good; no wonder the Queen always had that attitude toward him.

However, recalling him, the old knight felt warmth and steadiness in his heart.

"Just seeing his back always made one feel inexplicably at ease; one could not think of how to lose."

"In short, he was a perfect Hero, an unparalleled good sword. But if he lived now, he would mostly be a bastard father who always suddenly disappeared to mess around."

The next moment, he shook his head himself. If Lex could have waited until Dai Niya was born, watching his cute little daughter settle down to become a foolish father who doted on his daughter excessively, it would seem completely fitting.

But saying these things now is meaningless. The kingdom is nearly ruined. The Queen and the Princess have lived quite hard these years. Especially the Princess; these years she has hardly asked about Lord Hero's stories. She might have learned about some of the bastard things he did back then from other places.

"I heard he and the Queen's sister... uh, this matter cannot be spoken." Some words reached the knight captain's mouth, but he felt it was better to take them to the grave.

When Dai Niya looked over inexplicably, Knight Kahn also knew it was about enough. He worried that the young man would specifically ask what the Hero did; back then, he himself had done quite a few bastard things following Lord Hero.

"But back then, everyone did it."

Actually, at a certain stage, compared to the royal family hiding behind, the Palace Knight Order had already listened more to the Hero's commands.

Clearly, at the beginning, everyone despised this "country bumpkin with no upbringing," and even many people mocked him.

In the end, everyone gathered under this sword and happily followed that lord to mess around.

Back then, no one would have believed that the kingdom led by this Hero would encounter defeat.

It seemed that as long as he was there, it was destined to move from one victory to another.

Standing behind that person's back was an irresistible sense of security.

He was the embodiment of invincibility, the strongest and most persistent embodiment of victory.

If it were not for the Dragon Calamity, the kingdom would probably have become an empire, and Princess Dai Niya would have become a real little princess, worrying about nothing.

"The Princess is a person with a bitter fate. The Queen did not spend much time with her; when she was young, she played with the knights. Her temper is quite impatient. If possible, indulge her a bit more."

The old knight from the palace, looking at the approaching Princess, hurriedly ended this conversation.

"Oh, so Lex in their eyes is like this... The fan filter is too thick." The Snake, at this moment, became even more gleeful.

Li En ignored him and prepared to attend to his own affairs, but the Snake spat out malicious words.

"He is just scum. Heh, if you don't believe it, why not ask this guy if Dai Niya is the only child of Lex and the royal family."

Li En was stunned. Did Lex have other descendants? Or with other members of the royal family?

He subconsciously asked out loud. Immediately, the old knight's face changed drastically.

"Where did you hear this! These are all rumors! There is no second princess, no illegitimate daughter! This is pure slander against the royal family and the Hero!"

Well, but your reaction has already proven this is a fact.
