Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 38 Luna's Concern

Luna Rudolph is a typical literary girl.

She has loved reading knight novels since she was a child, and her favorite stories and most yearned-for characters are "Holy Sword Knight Troy".

This is a far-reaching and well-known story, whether it is popular among commoners or nobles.

Troy—a knight who fought against the high elves for the emperor, and even controlled the legendary unicorn that only a pure girl can control. He was favored by the elves of the lake and won the holy sword of the lake.

He has a noble character, is loyal and courageous, and loves to do good.Not only powerful, but also extremely humble, never bullying, and treating nobles and commoners equally.

At the end of the story, Troy, who returned triumphantly, was supposed to marry the emperor's favorite eldest princess, but on the eve of returning to the imperial city, on the eve of being rewarded and granted the title, the drunken emperor's eldest son mistook her for a face that was too handsome as a goblin. It was a woman, trying to rob her, so she got angry and cut off five limbs of the eldest son of the emperor...

The eldest son of the emperor of that generation was obsessed with women, he had done all kinds of ridiculous things, and even the noble lady was the biggest dandy in the empire.But no matter how rich he is, he is also the eldest son of the emperor, the next emperor appointed by the imperial law.

Hearing this incident suddenly, everyone in the empire was in an uproar. Even if he made great achievements, Troy, who imposed an unprecedented lynching on the eldest son of the emperor, had no choice but to be executed.

Fortunately, the emperor valued Troy very much, felt the merits he had brought to the country, and made the merits and demerits offset his death.Since then, Troy, who was supposed to marry the princess and go to the pinnacle of his life, disappeared without a trace.

However, both civilians and aristocrats from all over the empire praised this Troy, who not only made contributions to the front line, but also killed people when he left the battlefield. It has been passed down for thousands of years.

Growing up with a golden key in her mouth, Luna, who was held in the palm of her father's hand, never looked down upon her peers, and could even be described as having a high self-esteem.

Luna, who comes from a noble background and is also extremely talented, does have such qualifications.

In Luna's eyes, those so-called "young talents" are nothing more than worth mentioning, their talent is not as good as her own, and their conduct is even worse.

"The rights of nobility are born, and the responsibilities of nobility are from beginning to end."

It is rumored that Troy, who was born as a down-and-out nobleman, used this to restrain himself and achieve great things.

And what about those noble sons?

As an aristocrat, she doesn't know how to make progress. She just relies on the benefits brought by her ancestors to do her best, and takes the glory of her ancestors as her own... Guys just get along naturally.

The more Luna saw, the more she felt that, apart from her beloved father, there were no nobles in this world who could catch her eyes, let alone knights like Troy.

Until... the day I met Li Yong.

Li Yong's appearance is indeed worthy of her high regard, but that's all. Anyway, no matter how beautiful he is, he can't surpass him. It is the body that carries the soul, the outer skin.

The exuberant exchange made her feel that this noble boy has a maturity far beyond his age and a unique wisdom.But that's all... From her childhood environment, she has met too many interesting people and wise men with extremely broad horizons.

Mostly because of Li Yong's age, she felt that this young man was indeed a little different from the peers she had seen.

She was really shocked by Li Yong when the other party begged her hoarsely not to pursue the responsibility of that commoner child, the moment when he bowed his head and begged with desperate momentum.

"As long as it can be used as an apology, I will do anything! Can I beg you to forgive this child!?"

At that moment, she suddenly discovered that there were indeed real knights in this world who, like Troy, were willing to bow their heads for civilians who had nothing to do with them.

At that moment, she fell in love.

Of course, she said that she would not be held accountable, but she was also carefully sent back by the frightened Viscount Conrad.

After returning home, the clever Luna quickly realized that Li Yong might be taught by Viscount Conrad.And soon found out that Li Yong was punished by Viscount Conrad and put in confinement.

Very anxiously, she begged her father to intercede for Lee Young.

Her father, who has always followed her in everything, rejected her request, saying: "That is their family business, and you have no right or position to intervene."

That was the first time she was rejected by her father, and it was also the first time that the girl who regarded her father as an omnipotent god really realized that the so-called father was not really omnipotent and perfect.

Known as the "little golden flower of the Rudolph family", she enjoys the flowers and applause of everyone, but in fact she is still a 12-year-old child who has no ability to control what she really wants to control.

Since then, Luna has been paying attention to Li Yong.Even after hearing that he was confirmed not to have the potential to become an extraordinary person, the attention still persisted, even surpassed in the past.

Knowing from the maid that Li Yong was rejected and excluded, Luna felt the same as if she had been treated harshly, and she was heartbroken.But at the same time... Since then, an idea has been planted in her heart, gradually taking root and sprouting.

Men of the aristocrats all have coming-of-age ceremonies, but women are different... Most of them don’t have a coming-of-age ceremony at all. Instead, they have an engagement ceremony to confirm their future destination. In a sense, this is what noble girls do. Bar mitzvah.

A few years earlier, when they were about fifteen or sixteen years old, the elders would look for a husband for them, and when the time was right, they would hold a grand wedding to bid farewell to the family.

It is impossible for everyone to be willing to obey this ending, but the family has raised them for so long, and if they cannot prove that they have a certain value, they have no right to refuse. The stronger the family, the more powerful the family wants to break away from the benefits brought by the background. The difficulty of the cage is higher.

The nobles have forgotten that when facing common people, power and obligation are relative, but it is only within the scope of the family, and their memory is very good.

It was true that Count Rudolph doted on Luna, but this connivance had its limits. At most, it would only delay the selection of a son-in-law and find a better husband candidate.

So, at the age of 15, Luna became an elf envoy and a knight at the same time, showing a talent far superior to her brothers.

She said to Count Rudolph: "Father, I want to decide my own husband."

The first genius of the Rudolph family in a hundred years has such qualifications.But she had to prove that she was indeed a true genius.

So, at the age of 16, Luna defeated a 9th-level knight who reached the top of the black iron rank head-on.

At the age of 17, she desperately defeated a newly promoted second-level knight who had just reached the bronze rank.

At the coming-of-age ceremony, Luna, who has already broken through to a level 2 elf envoy, said this to Count Rudolph——

"Am I qualified to be the head of the Tulip family?"

Count Rudolph saw through his daughter's obsession, and replied, "As long as you can persuade that person to marry."
