This is good for both yourself and the other person.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Sword Saint?"
Outside the door of the reception room, a young girl's voice was heard. It was as sweet as the sound of a nightingale, and even sounded a little childish.
Wright stood up.
It seems that his fiancée is here.
"Yes."
"Excuse me, I'm late."
The door was pushed open.
This was how it happened on their first meeting, and Wright was prepared for the other party to be angry.
But the result was beyond his expectations.
Along with the sound of armor rubbing and metal shaking, a knight wearing golden armor walked in.
The lines outlined by metal appear petite, forming a strong contrast with the heaviness of the armor. He wears a helmet, and his face cannot be seen underneath. He carries an iron sword and holds a flagpole. The flag on it is the emblem of the Frost family, one of the four major families in the Rhine Kingdom. A lion stands in the middle, and the spears and swords behind him are intertwined.
This knight should be a girl.
It turned out to be...his fiancée?
Wright couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The other party was also in a daze.
The big armored man and the small armored man just stayed like that, staring at each other for a full ten seconds.
To some extent, it is indeed a very shocking scene. Perhaps no couple in the world would meet in this way?
It seems that my worries are unnecessary.
Wright thought.
"Yes... Miss Knight, right?"
"Yeah." Knight Ji nodded.
"I'm sorry, I just finished cleaning up the monsters outside and it's inappropriate for me to see you in such an inappropriate way."
"It's okay, Mr. Sword Saint. I am the same. I just finished a mission for the Knights' Alliance and punished a few criminals."
The Knight of the Frost family walked in, leaned her lance against the wall, and put down her greatsword.
It was only then that Wright noticed that there seemed to be fresh blood stains on the greatsword. It seemed that the Knight Princess was not lying.
The Frost family plays an important role in the Rhine. The Rhine's military armed force, the Knights Templar, is controlled by the Frost family. The leader of the knights is called the Knight King. In addition to military affairs, he is also responsible for public security tasks.
And Wright's fiancée is the apple of the Frost family's eye, hence the name Knight Princess.
To be honest, apart from his family, Wright rarely paid attention to news from the outside world, and focused all his energy and attention on swordsmanship.
Before, he thought that Knight Princess was just a title, just like many nobles would use various titles to gain fame.
But now it seems that Knight Princess may be worthy of the name.
"Mr. Sword Saint, please take a seat."
"it is good."
Wright sat down.
The knight sat on the sofa, showing no intention of taking off her armor.
Seeing the other party like this, Wright was too lazy to take off his clothes. After all, he was still in a battle before and his appearance was not very good.
"Mr. Sword Saint, are you here today for a marriage engagement?"
"Yes, the family hopes that we can meet."
"Then we have met. In this way, we have both completed our respective family's tasks."
"Yeah." Wright nodded.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wright was speechless.
Does the other party not know how to chat at all?
Is this all a competition to see who is better as a timer?
But the truth is, the two of them really have nothing to talk about, such as "What a nice weather!", "Have you eaten today?" and so on. It would be better not to ask.
He judged in his mind that Knight Princess didn't seem like someone who liked to beat around the bush, so he decided to get straight to the point.
"Ms. Knight Ji, what do you think about this engagement?"
"Mr. Sword Saint, why do you care about my opinion?"
"Because this is our engagement."
“This is a family arrangement.”
"The people getting married are the two of us, not the elders of our family," Wright said bluntly.
He still cared about the other party's opinion, and then he made his own thoughts clear.
"Marriage is about the future. We need to live together. The opinions of both parties are very important."
"Mr. Sword Saint, my opinion is that I will obey the wishes of my family. This is the best arrangement. In this matter, the last thing we need to care about is your and my opinions," said the Knight Princess. "How much do you understand the significance of this engagement?"
"You can elaborate."
"In fact, our marriage is not only the wish of our families, but also the wish of the people of Rhineland. Since you became the Sword Master, all your experiences and deeds have inspired many people. You are a hero in the hearts of many people, especially the common people."
“I just understand this…”
"Mr. Sword Saint, you are really as grandpa said, a sword fanatic. You just focus on swordsmanship, which is why you can achieve such results at this age and become the most promising sword saint in history."
"……Well."
Wright was silent. What she said was true, but he couldn't tell whether Knight Lady was praising him or making fun of him.
Because I couldn't hear any emotion in her voice. Her tone was just like when she was in the office, serious and formal.
"I know you don't know much about me, but I'm not bragging. In fact, many nobles believe that I am the future hope of the Knights Templar, that I will inherit the Knights Templar, and that I will protect the honor of the Rhine Kingdom."
"I can see that you are young and promising."
The current Sword Master and Knight Ji are not yet adults, but in their early teens, they have already reached heights that others will never be able to reach in their entire lives.
Both have a promising future.
"Thank you for the compliment. Let's get back to the point. You are the hero and spiritual sustenance of the common people, and I am the future of the nobles. Our engagement is what everyone is looking forward to. Everyone naturally thinks that we are a match made in heaven - even though today is the first time we meet and we have never had any intersection in the past. Do you understand what I mean? Our engagement is very important to the Rhine Kingdom and has completely surpassed our personal wishes."
Knight Princess explained everything slowly and clearly.
Wright felt that the other party's character was really amazing. Even though it was a matter concerning his future happiness, he did not mix any personal feelings into it.
This person is as young as me.
"I understand."
"You are the most suitable person to be my husband. Our marriage will stabilize the conflict between the Schubert family and the Frost family and stabilize the situation in the Rhineland."
Under the helmet, Wright felt as if the other party's gaze penetrated his helmet, direct and sharp.
"Do you think our opinions are important?"
"Our thoughts cannot influence the family's decision. This is good. I understand Miss Knight Ji's attitude. This trip is worthwhile."
Wright actually understood that he had little say and the other party was in the same situation.
If the other party is very unwilling, you can try to communicate with your family after you go back.
But since my fiancée chose to accept it happily, there was nothing I could say. There was no other way but to accept it.
……
There was really nothing much for Wright and Knight Lady to talk about. The silver block of iron and the golden block of iron sat facing each other for quite a while, feeling very awkward.
Because he is a swordsman, he spends his time practicing swordsmanship, training and fighting, and there is nothing he can talk about that can interest girls...
Knight Princess is similar, it seems that her personal life is very boring and she has almost nothing to talk about.
The first meeting of the fiancés ended in this way.
In the end, he didn't take off his helmet either time.
"Do you need me to send someone to escort the Sword Master Sword Master back to the Schubert family?"
Knight Ji saw Wright off to the gate of the family manor.
"No, thank you for your kindness, Miss Knight Ji. I can't go back to my family yet. I have to go out. There are some monster remnants that need to be dealt with."
"Then I am truly sorry for wasting Mr. Sword Saint's precious time."
"No, as long as the remaining monsters are dealt with before tonight, there won't be much of a problem. There's plenty of time," Light said. "Where's Miss Knight Ji?"
"Next, I also need to punish the felons who are on the run."
"Okay, then let's do our best."
Light smiled and held out his hand.
Knight Ji was silent for a while.
Wright suddenly thought, isn't it a bad idea to want to hold a girl's hand when he first meets her?
When he was about to retract it, the opponent's gauntlet came up.
"Mr. Sword Saint, do you want to be called a knight?"
