Home of the Brave

Seeing the fair-haired and white horse and his entourage knights walking towards this side of the street, Xia Luwei showed a flustered expression. The situation was obviously different from what Dai Yang had imagined. However, there was no time for him to ask questions. The noble son and his entourage had trot across the street in front of them on a horse.

Occasionally, the noble son glanced over the female knight on the side of the street, and immediately uttered a "Huh", and pulled the rein to stop.

"Wait, I saw you..." The noble son frowned and looked at the female knight, as if searching for memory. "Are you... the daughter of Isher's family? The female knight who often hangs around by Miss Miranda?"

"Yes, yes, Master Conrad." Xia Luwei lowered her head and answered cautiously.

Although Xia Luwei's personality was inclined to be submissive, the female knight in front of her still made Dai Yang feel a little bit wrong. Obviously, Xia Luwei knew this noble son named Conrad, and seemed to be afraid of something. Although there is no reason to let the daughter-in-law be bullied by others, the current situation has not yet reached such a conclusion, so Dai Yang looked at it with doubts.

"I heard that you went to fight the dragon, so you were hanging around in this place..." The noble young master named Conrad looked at the female knight with disdain, and then asked herself directly as if she was a waste of time. Topics of interest. "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you die or live, but... Since you often hang around by Miss Miranda, do you know the whereabouts of Miss Miranda?"

"Miranda? No, I don't know." Xia Luwei replied in a panic voice.

Listening to Conrad's ardent tone, Dai Yang probably guessed that he should be the suitor of the Duke's daughter, but the female knight's answer surprised him. In fact, this was the first time he had seen Xia Luwei lie--it was undoubtedly an incredible thing for a female knight who regarded "integrity" and "honesty" as virtues.

More doubts emerged in Dai Yang's heart. While paying attention to the development of the situation, he was also ready to take action at any time.

"I don't know? Humph!" Conrad snorted heavily. The female knight is not good at lying, and the flustered attitude can't hide from the other's eyes. I saw Conrad leaning down and asking again with a stronger tone. "When you were in the academy, you often entangled with Miss Miranda. How could you not know her whereabouts? Come on, where exactly is Miss Miranda?"

"I don't know." Xia Luwei shook her head, but persisted. "Miranda's whereabouts... I can't tell you."

"Can't tell me? The young master wants you to say it!" Conrad seemed to be annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, the entourage knight behind him dispersed in an instant, surrounding the female knight and Dai Yang.

(Alas, is it still such a development...)

Seeing the menacing entourage around him, Dai Yang couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.

I saw the twelve entourage knights were all fully armed, looking majestic, but they could only scare ordinary people. If you really want to fight, it doesn't take much effort to settle these guys, but following the words from Conrad, his fighting spirit can't help but wilt.

"The young master doesn't want to use force, the daughter of Ishere's family, looking at Miss Miranda's affection, especially give you a chance." Conrad pulled the reins, looked down at the female knight from the horse, and said arrogantly. "As long as you tell the whereabouts of Miss Miranda, the young master will tell his father, how about writing off the debts of the Emblione family?"

"Indebted, in debt?"

Conrad's words not only dispelled Dai Yang's struggle, but Xia Luwei also showed a severely shaken expression upon hearing the words.

"Your father, Isérejo borrowed a hundred thousand lien from the Kadia family, but he never paid it back. This debt is counted on Isère's family, and you will inherit it, but it seems It's impossible to get it..." Conrad looked at the old female knight with contempt. "As long as you tell the whereabouts of Miss Miranda, this young master will forgive the debts of the Isher family. This is only one chance."

Conrad showed a self-confident appearance, and seemed to be certain that the female knight would accept such generous terms. On the other hand, it was the first time that Dai Yang heard about the debt of the Isailey family, and looked at Xia Luwei in amazement. I saw the female knight frowning in pain, her expression was very difficult, but the voice of rejection was still clear and neat.

"No, I... can't tell you."

"...What are you talking about?" Conrad, who was originally pulling on the reins and proudly, had a calm expression that collapsed in a moment. He stared at Xia Luwei in disbelief, confirming with a fierce voice. "What did you just say? Say it again?"

"I can't tell you." The female knight bit her lip and repeated in a difficult tone. "The debt of Isher's family and the whereabouts of Miranda are two different things...I will not do anything to betray my friends."

"Friend? Ha, ha, you mean friend?" Conrad shook his head, his expression distorted, and his voice became sinister.

"The daughter of a declining nobleman, a guy who has not even obtained the qualifications of knighthood, dare to claim to be the friend of the daughter of the Embrian family? This is the funniest joke this young master has ever heard in his life! Ha, ha!"

Conrad laughed a few times, but it only attracted sporadic echoes from the knight's entourage, which turned out to become even more annoyed.

"...Smelly woman! Since I'm giving you no face, then don't blame this young master for being ruthless! The Isère family owes the Kadia family a hundred thousand lien, a lot of points, and it will be returned immediately!"

Conrad pointed directly at Xia Luwei. Although his motives are obviously bad, his behavior has legal support. The female knight who owed her debts and was unable to come up with this huge sum of money, bowed her head and fell into an unprecedented embarrassment.

"Why don't you speak? Is the Isailey family, who owns the glory of the knight, planning to rely on debt?"

"I..." Xia Luwei bit her lips tightly, and her voice seemed to come out of her throat. "I'll pay it back, Master Conrad, please... please wait a while."

"Ha, wait for a while? How long? Ten years or twenty years? By then, I'm afraid that the Isère's house is long gone. Who do you want this young master to go to?" Conrad waved his whip. There was a violent sound in the air.

"Let’s do it, I don’t think you can wait anymore. This young master is in a bad mood now, so you can spend time with this young master...a single whip counts as a thousand lien, if you can survive a hundred lashes without falling down, then one hundred thousand Lean is the young master feeding the dog." Conrad, who said this, slammed the whip and drew it at the female knight fiercely.

The scabbard tore the air, making a hissing sound like a poisonous snake, Xia Luwei closed her eyes subconsciously, shuddering her body, preparing to take on the debt of the Isailey family. However, after several seconds passed, the poisonous scabbard never fell on her.

"Hey, I have something to say, why do you bother?"

Xia Luwei opened her eyes suspiciously, but saw that the black-haired youth did not know when she was behind her, and Conrad's whip was being held in his hand.

"You..." Seeing that the whip was suddenly caught by the black-haired youth, Conrad let out an angry growl and tried to take the whip back. However, no matter what he exerted all his strength, the straight whip did not move at all, so he had to ask. "Untouchable, who are you?"

"I'm Xia Luwei's fiancé, Master Conrad." The weak power from the whip was completely ignored by Dai Yang, and he turned his head to comfort the female knight with a smile. "Don't worry, Xia Luwei, I have a general understanding of the situation, let me handle it later."

"Yang... Yang..." The female knight's expression was like a crying child.

"Are you her fiancé? Huh, is it suitable for a mourning dog to match a pariah... Hmm!"

Conrad over there let out a heavy hum, but Dai Yang let go of his whip unexpectedly, and the straight whip bounced back violently. Conrad was almost taken off his horse. After he finally got back his balance, he sat upright again, and was about to yell at him, but he was taken aback when he saw the black eyes that were as dark as night looking at him.

"Master Conrad, Xiaomin wants to confirm something..." Dai Yang asked in a voice that was neither humble nor overbearing. "Excuse me, is the debt owed by the Isère family to the Kadia family really one hundred thousand lien?"

"...It's a hundred thousand lien." Conrad settled, and looked at the black-haired youth who suddenly appeared in front of him with disgust. When he saw Dai Yang's old clothes that had long been washed white, the blond prince once again established his superiority and asked in a mocking tone. "What? Untouchables, do you want to pay her back?"

"Yes."

※※※

Maybe it was Dai Yang's answer that was too natural, and Conrad and others didn't react for a long time. One hundred thousand lien, perhaps in the eyes of a nobleman like the Kardia family, is not a big deal, but for ordinary people, it is close to an astronomical amount. Seeing Dai Yang's shabby appearance, no one believed that he could come up with such a large sum of money.

Not only Conrad didn't believe it, even Xia Luwei couldn't help looking at Dai Yang with a blank stare. She knew better than anyone the embarrassing financial situation of the "Cemetery of the Brave". This huge expenditure of one hundred thousand lien was enough to bankrupt that small prop store more than three times.

"Wait, could it be..." Xia Luwei's face changed suddenly when she thought of something. "No, Yang! You earned it with great difficulty, how can you be here..."

"It's okay. You can make more money if you don’t have money, but you can’t find a good wife if you run away. This is what the old man taught." Dai Yang smiled and comforted the female knight, reaching out to take out a large and a small two from his arms. Come in a pocket. If you look closely, you can see that the hands of the black-haired youth are trembling slightly.

"There are ninety-five thousand lien worth of gems in it." Dai Yang shook his smaller pocket.

"It contains five thousand lien worth of coins." Dai Yang shook his larger pocket again.

Because carrying large sums of money is a dangerous and laborious task, traveling merchants usually like Dai Yang, exchange most of them for equivalent gems, and then carry only a small amount of coins. Under Xia Luwei's anxious gaze, Dai Yang handed two pockets containing a total of 100,000 lien treasures to Conrad, who was dumbfounded.

"That's the case, Master Conrad."
