my armed maid

Chapter 157 Chapter 154: The Princess and the Knight (updated in the early morning!)

"Rosalia Loren..."

On the carriage, Evelin muttered her name silently, and her mind couldn't help but drift to a few years ago, when she first attended the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

Rosalia is two years older than her. Because of her beauty and royal status, she was already a powerful figure at Roland Magic Academy in the Imperial Capital when Evelin entered school.

Not only that, as she inherited Roland's bloodline, she was also extremely talented in her training. During her school days, she was accepted as a close disciple by Catherine Labilis.

To say who Catherine Rabilis is, she is the descendant of one of the seven military gods of the Roland Empire, the "Silver God of War" Rabilis. She is an eighth-level mage who has inherited the inheritance of the military gods. The stairs are only one step away.

Therefore, after getting this backer, Rosalia became the most popular one in the world and became the most influential talker in the magic academy at that time.

That’s all. This is just the classic template of the proud man.

But what she admired about Rosalia was more than that. Even with her noble status and proud talents, she did not show a condescending attitude when facing her classmates.

She is also very considerate in her dealings with others, and everyone who has come into contact with her has spoken highly of her.

"Haha, you know, neither she nor I care about these complicated etiquette."

Reinhardt greeted politely and chatted while leading the way.

It can be said that among the younger generation of their generation, only Reinhardt is qualified to compare with Rosalia.

Evelin was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, a feminine man in white robe walked out of the palace.

Not long after they entered school, the two met at a social party and became closer and closer.

She briefly explained the current situation of Linfeng City, and Reinhardt nodded and exclaimed:

It was also because of this opportunity that she established a firm foothold in the imperial capital, a place she was unfamiliar with at the time.

It is also possible for a personal knight to marry a princess. Although in this case it is no different from marrying into a wife, at least he can get the beauty back.

"Evelin? It's been a long time, do you still recognize me?"

"Understood." Evelin responded, "This is an extraordinary situation. I see that everyone inside and outside the palace is very busy, and it seems that even senior Rosalia is no exception."

"Don't be like this, we don't pay attention to this in private visits." Evelin waved her hand quickly.

Rosalia's residence is also in the palace, but visiting her is certainly easier than visiting Roland II.

"She is currently receiving guests. Let me take you to sit on the other side first."

In fact, this was not her first time entering the palace. Rosalia had entertained many of her classmates before, including her, so she was not a complete stranger.

This young man is about 1.9 meters tall, with long fiery red hair spread out to cover his forehead. He has a resolute face, a majestic weapon, and a long sword with a dragon pattern on his waist.

"This is your first time to be a guest in our new home. Come in and talk."

At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes came forward in front of the palace and said with a warm smile:

Even though they were in the same college, she and Rosalia were from different classes and from different worlds, and they should not have had the opportunity to have a close friendship.

If Rosalia was the leader of the Imperial City's Magic Academy at that time, then the Reinhard in front of her was the leader of the Imperial City's Knight Academy at the same time.

Different dragon tribes have different awakening secret techniques. Although Evelin doesn't know what Reinhard's dragon secret technique is, she heard that his power is very powerful and he is considered a top talent in the entire dragon tribe.

"That's not why..."

But after the two met by chance at a party in the college, Rosalia was extremely kind to her and accepted her into her group naturally.

Reinhardt smiled, "However, if you want to meet her now, you may have to wait a little longer.

Hearing this, Reinhard's expression became slightly unnatural, and a hint of gloom quietly flashed in his eyes.

Looking at his aura, she knew that he was no ordinary person. Evelin's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she said respectfully:
"Of course I remember. Long time no see, Senior Reinhardt."

The dragon tribe can not only communicate with dragons and sign dragon contracts, but those with pure blood can also awaken the dragon blood and learn special dragon secrets.

However, after her father Robert officially inherited the throne, her status changed from an ordinary royal princess to the orthodox seventh princess, and now she seems to have moved to a larger palace.

With this seemingly happy ending, their story has become a favorite story in the academy.

"Speaking of which, I remember that your family is the ruling family in Linfeng City. I heard that there was a war there some time ago. Your Highness, Rosalia and I, are very worried about you."

"Well, that's true." Evelin nodded, "But don't worry, we have calmed down the war."

Under the escort of the Guards, the carriage circled around the huge palace and finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace.

"I didn't expect that you would become the city lord of Linfeng City after not seeing you for a long time. It seems that my attitude just now was too casual."

It seems that she is just a "local girl" who came to the city from the countryside of Linfeng City. Although she has good talents, in the imperial capital where geniuses gather, she can only be considered to be above average.

After asking the waiter to inform her outside, and waiting for a while, she received permission to enter the palace.

He is from the Dragon Tribe, his hometown is the Dragon Valley in the eastern part of the empire, and he has quite pure Dragon Tribe blood.

Even looking at the entire Roland Empire, the Dragon Tribe is a very powerful nation. Among them, there was also a generation of military gods called the "Dragon Military God".

"It's better to say that I lost my etiquette and didn't bring any greeting gifts when I came unexpectedly. I hope senior doesn't care."

This made Evelin have great trust in Rosalia. After hitting a wall in the embassy, ​​the first person she wanted to turn to was Rosalia.

After the two of them graduated from the academy a few years ago, Reinhard rejected the olive branch offered by other forces and swore to become Rosalia's personal knight without hesitation.

In fact, the Imperial Knight Academy and the Magic Academy are not far apart.

This was indeed not her previous residence. Evelin got out of the car and hesitated slightly when faced with the unfamiliar sight in front of her.

The two of them seemed to be of the same age and both looked very talented, but compared to the masculine Reinhardt, this man had a more scholarly air and his posture was more arrogant and reserved.

"Lord Joshua, are you going back now?" Reinhard lowered his eyes and bowed slightly.

"Yes." The young man in white robe named Joshua raised his chin and showed an inexplicable smile.

"Although I would like to stay longer, it would be unsightly to be too greedy. I will come to visit you again someday."

As he spoke, he patted Reinhard's shoulder seemingly intimately, then glanced at Evelin and passed the two of them.

After he walked away, Evelin frowned slightly and asked, "Senior, who was that guy just now?"

To say that she is "too greedy for wine" is a bit frivolous for the princess.

He was so rude in front of the Rosalia Knight. If he had gone a little further, it would not be surprising for Reinhard to be angry just now.

"He? Just a mediocre person who has just broken through the sixth level when he is almost thirty." Reinhardt's tone turned cold, and it seemed that he had already had a prejudice against Joshua.

"It's just because I'm the only son of the Ethel family that I'm so arrogant... Well, you don't have to pay attention. It seems that the meeting is over. I will take you directly to see Rosalia."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior." Evelin followed Reinhard into the palace, but she was thoughtful.

Eter is the ruling family of the city of Kilan, and the city of Kilan is famous for its religion. Terms such as "priest", "bishop", "angel", and "god" all originate from the mythology of Kilan.

It is also the birthplace of light magic. Both the "Prayer Technique" that focuses on healing and the "Holy Judgment Technique" that focuses on punishment are quite powerful. The overall strength of its city-state is enough to rank among the top five in the empire.

What's more important is that Jilan City is on the empire's side. At the beginning of the war, it can be said that it is one of the most powerful combat forces in Roland II's hands.

And that Joshua was actually the young master of Kilan City. No wonder even Reinhard had to tolerate him.

However, why is Joshua visiting Rosalia so late? Is this also related to the increasingly tense situation today...?
With doubts, Evelin came to the main hall of the palace.

After a while, a girl came in wearing a silver-white princess dress and crystal high heels.

No, although she is young, it would be inappropriate to call her a girl. She is tall and tall, and beneath her stunning face is a devilish figure that even women can't help but be jealous of.

And she seems to know how charming she is. This low-cut, knee-length silver-white princess dress perfectly accentuates her curvy figure.

Unlike young girls, only mature women know how to show their natural charm to the greatest extent.

She walked toward Evelin with her round and slender legs and twisted her waist, looking like an elegant white swan or a charming and beautiful snake.

"Click, click..."

The heels of the crystal high-heeled shoes stepped on the ground, making a rhythmic sound, and seemed to step on the hearts of everyone present.

Even Reinhard, who had always been serious and serious, was attracted by Rosalia at this moment. His eyes moved slightly downwards, and his Adam's apple moved subconsciously.

“I didn’t expect you to come, Evelin.”

Rosalia came to Evelin and held her hand enthusiastically, "I haven't seen you for almost half a year. Meeting you is the best news I have received in these days!"

“Ah…” Evelin finally came back to her senses.

Hearing what she said, not only I was flattered, but I couldn't lie that I was happy.

After all, even if she became the lord of Linfeng City, Rosalia's identity would still overshadow hers.

No matter how her identity changed, her attitude towards him was still as kind as when she was in college. It was impossible not to be touched.

"Long time no see, you must have a lot to say, right?"

Seeing how she didn't know where to start, Rosalia smiled and said, "It's okay, we can talk slowly, the night is still very long——

"By the way, why not come to my room and have a long-lost conversation, just like we used to do in school!"

The so-called talk party is actually just a group of best friends getting together to chat. It is surprisingly simple, but it also has fun that cannot be compared to those grand night banquets.

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Evelin thought she was just being polite, so she subconsciously declined.

But Rosalia clapped her hands, nodded and said to Reinhard:

"I won't have any more guests tonight. It's time for the women's talk. Don't let others disturb us, okay?"

"As ordered."

Reinhard bowed and saluted, and then said gently to Evelin:

"Your Highness, it's been a while since I've gotten together with old friends. I hope you have a good time tonight."

"Then... I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Evelyn was taken by the hand and followed Rosalía to her bedroom.

But that was just right. Whether it was business or reminiscing, she wanted to have a private space to talk with Rosalia.

Rosalia's bedroom was more ornately decorated, with a double bed covered with soft velvet curtains. The walls and bedside tables were decorated with various portraits, bouquets and other exquisite decorations.

The maid in the bedroom made hot tea for them, adjusted the light to just the right brightness, closed the door and went out.

"Here, please try the specialty 'Sanlin Tea' from Jilan City. This is one of the four famous teas in the empire, right?"

Rosalia invited Evelin to sit down. Evelin took a sip of the tea. She only felt that the taste was a little weak when it was first put into her throat. However, when she tasted it carefully, there was a milky fragrance that reverberated in her mouth. She couldn't help but sigh:
“Delicious!”

"Is this the only feeling you have with these two words?" Rosalia looked at her and smiled.

"Ahem, don't laugh at me. It's not like you don't know that I'm not good at tasting tea!"

"Hehe, it sounds like it is indeed the case. You were talked about a lot by the teacher in the tasting class."

The so-called tasting class is not a course in school, but an activity organized and jointly participated in by the circle of noble ladies. The person who presides over the class is the etiquette teacher of the palace.

Of course, this informal class is actually just a way for girls to chat and have fun.

When the carefree past was mentioned, Evelin's somewhat reserved mentality gradually relaxed and she picked up the topic:
"Actually, what I was most looking forward to at that time was the snack time after class. Every time after we finished class, Reinhardt-senpai would take us to that dessert shop for snacks.

"That dessert shop, I think it's called Purple Dream, right? It's obviously just located in an alley outside the imperial capital, but the taste is surprisingly great!
"I really don't know how Reinhard-senpai discovered that store in the first place. Although it looks eclectic, it's actually surprisingly attentive and considerate?"

"Reinhardt...he is like this."

Rosalia smiled and shook her head, "He found out about that store from somewhere. Speaking of which, he is obviously a foreigner, but it seems that he knows the corners of the imperial capital better than I do.

"Hey, now I realize that he usually spends all his energy studying this."

"It's not bad, it's not bad!" Evelin teased.

“Not only is he so handsome and talented in cultivation, he is also so kind to his seniors.

"I think it's because he likes you that he spends time thinking about these things. It's really enviable to be pursued by such a perfect man~"

In fact, it was precisely because she was Rosalia's best friend that she knew that Rosaria was secretly dating Reinhardt when they were students.

Therefore, what she said was not a joke.

Sure enough, Rosalia raised her lips when she heard this. The fact that such an outstanding man was pursuing her crazily did satisfy her vanity in front of her friends to a certain extent.

"By the way, you probably don't know yet."

She said cautiously, "Just a month ago, Reinhard successfully broke through and was promoted to an eighth-level knight - did he tell you about this just now?"

"No."

Evelin’s eyes widened in surprise, “But wait, has he actually reached the eighth level of strength?

"If I remember correctly, Reinhardt-senpai... should be only 26 years old this year, right?"

"That's right." Rosalia replied in a calm tone, "From a training perspective, his talent can be considered pretty good."

Is it just temporary... Evelin complained in her heart.

Is this Versailles? This must be Versailles!

After the sixth level, it takes a lot of effort and precipitation to go one step higher. Therefore, Reinhardt's 26-year-old eighth-level and Yuna's 17-year-old sixth level are basically the same level.

They all belong to the top group of geniuses in the empire.

"But, the eighth level..."

As if thinking of something, Evelin asked, "With such strength, senior Reinhard should have enough confidence to propose marriage to His Majesty, right?"

The 26-year-old eighth-level expert has hope of reaching the ninth level in the future as long as he works harder.

Such a cultivation genius, even if he comes from a poor family, is enough to impress the royal family, even if he marries the princess.

In Evelin's view, the pure love between Rosalia and Reinhardt, which spanned their school days, finally has hope of bearing fruit after years of trials.

Isn’t this quite gratifying! At this moment, Evelin was happy for her friend from the bottom of her heart.

However, facing her inquiry, Rosalia's expression became slightly embarrassed.

"Regarding this matter……"

She took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Reinhard and I probably won't get married?"
