Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The next day was also the sixth day since Ye He came to this era.

"But... Damn it... I am the Knight of Light, the Guardian of the King, the Model of Chivalry, the Supreme Noble of All Time!
How could I be humiliated like this?"

The light knight in a maid outfit was pouring tea for Ye He, but he kept muttering about his reluctance.

"Hmm? You can give up the bet at any time and change your clothes back. I won't loudly announce that you are a dishonest knight when I meet the emperor."

Ye Hele threatened the Light Knight in a gentle tone, causing her to glare at him in frustration.

Wow, you're quite aggressive?
Ye He was amused by the Light Knight who was unconvinced in heart. He lowered his head and glanced at the Light Knight's thigh.

This outfit of super short maid skirt and black stockings was custom-made for Light Knight by Ye He after dinner last night at the request of Fire Knight.

Originally Ye He thought that the Light Knight would not dare to wear it, but unexpectedly, she really came here wearing this outfit early this morning and almost blocked the Ice Knight who had spent the night at Ye He's place.

Seeing that the Light Knight had clearly "admitted defeat" but was still so "unprofessional", Ye He decided to increase her intensity.

He stretched out his hand and touched the Light Knight's thighs, feeling the texture of these ancient stockings!
Because of the material problem, the feel is not very good, but fortunately the thigh wrapped inside is fleshy and elastic enough, which makes up for its "innate deficiency" very well.

The Light Knight was startled by Ye He and almost spilled his tea on him, spilling all over the table.

"you!!!"

"What's wrong? Master Knight is not allowed to touch his maid?"

Ye He was the first to complain with confidence, which made the Light Knight's face turn red with anger!
But it’s true that Yehe got it right.

Knights are not ordinary soldiers, especially in this era. Knights are not only nobles, but also the most powerful and influential upper class.

Being a maid or servant in a knight's house was a great honor for a commoner woman in the empire.

Yes, honor!
Because the empire did not have a system of primogeniture, only blood inheritance was valid.

In other words, maids or servant girls, women who could not even be considered formal lovers, could obtain official inheritance rights recognized by the empire if they gave birth to children for the knight masters they served!

For this type of women, this is almost the simplest and easiest way to achieve a class leap. In this era, there is even a saying that "a mother's status depends on her son."

So on the other hand, if the knight touched his maids or even made them sleep with him, it was actually a recognition of "honor" to the maids and a good thing that the maids should be "grateful" for.

Of course, female knights can do the same to their own servants or male servants. In fact, since the "King's Knights", the pinnacle of knights, are all composed of women, there are many more female knights than male knights in the empire...

In short, this is the "convention" of this era, and it is a "social truth" that even the Knights of Light know and cannot defy.

The Light Knight did not sleep all night last night. In fact, he wondered whether Ye He would take this opportunity to do something "conventional" to her.

She knew she couldn't refuse and could only hope that Ye He didn't understand these things. But now it seems that this "stinky boy from the country" not only understood them, but also took the opportunity to control her.

Fortunately, Ye He did not bully the Light Knight all at once, as that would have made him an enemy, which would not be fun at all.

"Hey, look at you. You can't even pour the tea properly. Clean this place up quickly."

Ye He sat up straight and waved his hand casually, neither asking the Light Knight to take off his clothes nor asking the Light Knight to continue doing anything disgusting.

For the Light Knight, it was just wiping the table, which was an unexpected "good thing" for her.

And when she was working, Ye He just smiled at her and didn't intend to touch her any more, which made her gradually relax and she even worked harder to wipe the table.

"He..."

As soon as the Phantom Knight came in, he discovered that Ye He was openly looking at the scenery in the collar of the Light Knight.

What’s even more interesting is that Guang didn’t even notice Ye He’s gaze and was still working hard on what a maid should do.

For Phantom Knight, this was the best outcome she could have imagined. Ye He only asked Guang to fulfill her job obligations as a maid and did not ask for anything extra.

So she didn't bother to remind the Knight of Light, and continued to say to Ye He while meeting his gaze:

"A messenger just sent back a message that the anomalies occupying the coastal cities on the western front are gradually retreating back into the sea."

"Oh? What does this mean?"

Ye He inadvertently glanced at the collar of the Light Knight who had paused.

This honest white-haired girl...actually, she had nothing else to wear except the maid outfit that Ye He gave her.

She was tall to begin with, and when she bent over to wipe the table, Ye He could even see her belly button between the ridges.

"According to the analysis of intelligence personnel and the Abnormal Investigation Department, there are two possible possibilities for this abnormal activity."

At Ye He's signal, the Phantom Knight sat next to Ye He. The Light Knight also stood up at this time, ready to listen carefully to the news from the Phantom Knight.

But Ye He said to her:

"How can you be so tactless as a maid? Don't you know that you have to pour tea when guests come?"

"……Yes."

The Light Knight glared at Ye He again. She was about to obediently pour tea for the Phantom Knight, but she found that she had only found one cup from beginning to end, which had already been used by Ye He.

So she had to leave Ye He's room and go to the kitchen to get a usable teacup, which took several hours to go back and forth.

Forget it, I’ll just listen to Huan’s story again later. Damn little brat, he doesn’t consider the overall situation at all!

Seeing that the Light Knight left the room angrily, the Phantom Knight glared at Ye He unhappily.

But Ye He not only gestured for her to continue talking without caring, but also secretly held one of the Phantom Knight's hands.

This little action of his was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. The Phantom Knight raised his eyebrows and let him lead the way.

"Possibility one: The abnormal species have sensed the threat you pose to them and are preparing to attack their forces in the sea, and then use their sheer numbers to overwhelm the Thirty-Six Cities in one fell swoop.

Possibility 2... Actually, the two possible results point to the same conclusion, which is that the anomaly is going to fight a decisive battle with us!"

"Oh? A decisive battle?"

Ye He became excited when he heard this word. He was a little tired of the one-sided bombardment these days. Only stronger and more opponents could bring him a refreshing relief.

"Yes."

The Phantom Knight nodded solemnly to him, pressed down Ye He's hand on his thigh, and then said to Ye He very seriously:

"First of all, this is the first time that the anomaly has carried out a large-scale dispatch operation since it appeared in this world.

This is most likely because a very powerful source of anomalies beyond our imagination has appeared within them.

According to the researchers’ investigation, the “decisive battle” will come in five days at the earliest and seven days at the latest.

The king should arrive here in three days. No matter what, we have to resist the aggression of the anomaly and protect our world."

The Phantom Knight spoke righteously and with awe-inspiring aura, but Ye He only paid attention to the point that he would be able to see the emperor "in person" in three days. His distracted performance made the Phantom Knight a little dissatisfied, and he casually took his hand off his thigh.

"It's not that I don't care. No matter what, I will stay with you until the last moment."

Ye He didn't mind her temper, and smiled and said to her:

"I will definitely be the first one among us to fall. Before that, I will do my best to eliminate our enemies."

This promise was better than a million words of love to the Phantom Knight, and it softened his eyes again.

Only then did she realize that the young man in front of her was not indifferent, but had made up his mind to live and die earlier than them, the King's Knights!
That's right, the anomaly caused his family to be destroyed, and the village where he grew up disappeared...

Phantom Knight stood up. She had official business to attend to, so she couldn't accompany Ye He for the time being.

But when she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked Ye He casually:

"Tomorrow night...are you free to have a drink with me?"

Ye He winked at her:

"Of course!"

……

“…Everyone has left.”

The Light Knight put down the teacup in her hand with some dissatisfaction. Before she came back, the Phantom Knight had already left with satisfaction.

"The abnormality has temporarily retreated and the troops have been gathered to prepare for the decisive battle. The king will personally come to the front line in three days."

Ye He briefly conveyed the news of the Phantom Knight to the Light Knight, which made her stunned for a moment. After digesting the news, her face changed color.

"what!!!"

"What's so surprising? Isn't this a matter of time?"

Ye He, with a calm face, suppressed her excitement and smiled at her calmly:
"Just in time. The time has finally come to avenge everyone in the village."

His words, which laid the foundation for his character, allowed the Light Knight to gain a greater understanding of him, and also made the Light Knight look at him with strange eyes.

Like other knights, during the war when the anomalies invaded the empire, the Knight of Light had seen many "war orphans" with similar personalities to those created by Ye He.

They left their homes and were alone. The only thing that remained unchanged was that everyone held a hatred for war and hostility towards the enemy. Many people even managed to continue living because of this hatred.

The Light Knight went from sympathy at first, to self-condemnation, and finally to numbness. During this period of mental change, she gradually forgot the hatred that had nothing to do with her, and only remembered the "paranoia" of this kind of person.

She didn't expect that Ye He's character was also this kind of person, and he also had this "paranoia".

This made her unable to help but return to the starting point: she began to think about what she could do for Ye He.

Unlike others who just need a place to settle down or a chance to join the army, Ye He has already proven his strength above the Light Knights with his actual combat achievements.

In this case, not becoming a burden to Yehe is the greatest contribution that the Light Knight can make to Yehe.

The Light Knight realized this very unwillingly, and felt even more panicked.

"Do you want to regain your freedom ahead of time and stop being my maid?"

Seeing that the emotional buildup was almost complete, Ye He suddenly asked the Light Knight this.

"If I say I don't want to, I must be lying. Why are you going to give me this opportunity? Don't you want me to serve you?"

The Light Knight also broke free from the "heart-suffocating" feeling she had just had, but she herself did not notice that, in this way, she had inexplicably become much "closer" to Ye He, and her attitude towards Ye He had also become much gentler.

Under Ye He's deliberate manipulation, the strangeness between the two was quickly diluted.

"Well... let's put it this way. Since we have become like this because of a bet, I will bet with you again. If you win, I will let you be free again."

"Betting again?"

The Light Knight raised an eyebrow:

"What if I lose?"

This is the typical behavior of a "gambler". Before learning how to gamble, he cares more about winning or losing.

Ye He smiled at her:
"If you lose... you can choose to increase the number of days of your maid service, or increase the content of your maid service. It's up to you. How about it?"

"it is good!"

The Light Knight's eyes suddenly lit up, and amusement immediately appeared in his eyes when he looked at Ye He.

She realized at the first moment that in this new gambling game with Ye He, she had an absolute advantage in terms of "chips"!

Because Ye He said that if she lost she could decide for herself whether to "increase the number of days as a maid" or "provide maid service".

The Light Knight could just say that he provided services if he lost. He only needed to defeat Ye He once to offset his "maid days" for the day.

In this case, those services would naturally be invalid because she was no longer Ye He's maid.

"How to bet?"

The excited Knight of Light rolled up the non-existent sleeves of her maid outfit and stared at Ye He eagerly.

"Keep it simple, just roll the dice."

Last night, all the thirty-six cities celebrated Yehe's victory. Through Caesar, Yehe already knew that there was such a thing as dice in this era.

"it is good!"

The Light Knight ran out immediately, and after a while, she came back holding a dice made of a stone she picked up.

She knew a little about gambling before, but she had never gambled before, so she naturally didn't know how to cheat on the dice.

And Ye He was not worried that she would cheat. Just like when Ye He played with Finny in the Holy City of Lieyang, he could use Caesar to see the result directly.

The teacup that the Light Knight retrieved for the Phantom Knight was used by her. She had already carved six different scratches on the dice to serve as the dice points.

She threw the dice into the cup without any instruction, then turned the cup upside down on the saucer and shook it.

Let the stone dice collide with the ceramic cups and plates to make a tinkling sound.

Then she put down the cup and saucer and asked Ye He:
"One, two, and three are small, four, five, and six are big! Guess! Big or small?"
