Yora was very happy, but for some reason, Eugene scratched his cheek apologetically.

"Well, that..."

While hesitating, Eugene took out a letter with the royal seal.

"Ah! Is it the mission Cha Wen's servant mentioned last time?"

Yula opened her eyes wide and took it happily.

However, after opening it, the first sentence in the letter made her heart drop to a low point.

[Lord Youla, there is another candidate for this mission, please keep it secret. 】

"...This is?"

Yora looked at Eugene blankly, she couldn't figure out what this meant.

Eugene sighed.

"It was Vickrey who named you and refused to let you go."

"...yes"

"He attended in your stead."

"..."

Yura silently read the contents of the letter.

Chavin's letter basically stated that Vickery was worried about her safety, so he would not let her go, and stressed that she must not leak the secret.

"...Yura?"

Seeing that Youra was silent for a long time, Eugene was worried for a moment.

"Why would he do that?"

A little annoyed, Youla crumpled the letter into a ball and her cheeks bulged. She was really angry.

"Weikeli knows the hidden wounds on your body."

Ralph on the side crossed his arms and said.

"...my injury?"

Yura asked back.

Eugene shrugged.

"Hey, so are you. Even now, if you are still pretending to be fine, Weekly already knows this."

"..."

The hidden disease in the past allowed her to only exert half of her strength. Yura herself knew this, but...

"This mission is too dangerous. If you can't use your full strength, you might as well not go. It's probably for this reason that Weekly wanted to eliminate you..."

Spencer added, appearing to approve of Weekley's actions.

Eugene looked back at him and glared.

"you shut up."

"I didn't say anything wrong. This is for her own good..." Spencer muttered and took a few steps back.

"Yura, don't pay too much attention to this matter. If the mission fails later, I will ask Chawen to let you join."

Eugene comforted.

Indeed, if the injury worsens, the title of Guardian Knight will become further and further away from her.

"...Okay, I understand. Please go back. I want to be quiet."

Youra politely offered to see the guests off. Eugene and the other two hesitated for a moment, but still left.

"..."

In the office where Yura was left alone, she rolled up her sleeves and looked at her left wrist.

There is already an obvious blue-black blood line on it, and just touching it will cause severe pain.

She used to think everything was fine, but recently she seems to be showing signs of relapse.

.

"...Do you even know this?"

Yora thought of Vickrey. She knew that he was doing it for her own good...

But she is by no means a liability.

As a knight, even if she was injured, she was far from weak enough to need the protection of others.

Yula stood up and prepared to go to the palace.

----

In the evening, Vickrey returned to his mansion after a busy day at the college.

In the hall, just as he was about to take off his clothes as usual, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Besides the attendant, there seems to be one more person in the room?

Vickery looked at the female knight wearing light armor on the sofa and asked doubtfully.

"...What are you doing here?"

Did he go wrong?

Vickery looked around. The layout was familiar. This was his home.

"Perform the mission."

Yura said calmly.

"...What mission?"

Yora turned around, his figure reflected in her bright pupils.

"It comes from His Majesty's decree. Considering the last attack on the Kangong Kingdom, I will be your personal guard during this period."

This was the result of Yora entering the palace during the day to meet His Majesty, telling the whole story, and boldly begging to be allowed to continue participating in the mission.

Yekarina, who was not too concerned about the excitement, naturally agreed. She was very happy to see the unmarried couple quarreling.

But considering that it was currently inconvenient to directly attack Chawen, she simply issued such a decree.

In this way, no matter how much Vickery had any objections, Yora had to go.

Looking at Yura's slightly proud expression, Vickery sighed and was about to say something.

"Clap."

The door to the hall was pushed open, and Tiya, who had just returned from the territory, walked in.

"The underground tunnel in the Galallon area has been completed. Let me inform you..."

"Why are you here?"

"Long time no see, Tia."

As soon as she entered the door, Tia stared at Yura.

How did this woman come?

Tia has hated Yula since she was a child. Her temperament may have changed a lot in the past ten years, but this is the only thing that has never changed.

She still couldn't figure out how this clumsy, dull, and inflexible woman captured Vickrey's heart.

For Tia, the word 'Yura' is completely synonymous with witch.

"From today on, I will serve as Vickrey's personal bodyguard."

"Personal guard? Do you mean to live here?"

Tia frowned and looked at her very warily.

"Yes, this is His Majesty's decree."

"what?!"

Tia was startled, and she yelled a little madly.

"Why does he need your protection? Get out of here!"

But Yula's attitude was very tough.

"This is an order issued directly by His Majesty to me. You have no right to refuse. The mission period is three months. During this period, I will always be on standby."

"Then you don't have to live here, right?"

Tiya said unwillingly.

"In order to deal with emergencies, I can't be too far away from Vickery. Just prepare the smallest room for me. My requirements are not high."

"I'm really convinced. When he asked you to live together before, you refused at all costs, but now..."

"That's enough, Tiya, please be quiet."

Vickrey interrupted Tia, who was still chattering.

"...Oh, you're actually facing an outsider. I really don't know if I'm your sister..."

Tia whispered, then turned to look out the window angrily.

Suddenly, she noticed something.

"Ok?"

Outside the window, an eagle was watching them from the treetops, its pale golden pupils shining.

It seemed like she had seen this eagle before in Lambasa?Is it an illusion?

----

At this point, Vickery couldn't say anything, so he had to lead Yura to find the smallest guest room as she requested.

But since it is a guest room, it is fully equipped with bathroom, toilet, dressing table and other facilities, and there is also a dress room.

"How is it here?"

"too big..."

Yora hesitated a little. To be honest, this guest room was bigger than her room.

"This is already the minimum. Don't underestimate the Pod family's hospitality. This is the minimum."

"...OK then."

Yora had no choice but to put her luggage on the bed and take out her change of clothes one by one.

Looking at Yura packing up the gifts and cleaning like a little daughter-in-law.

Vickery smiled and shook his head.

"is this necessary?"

"Have."

Yura said stubbornly.

"Okay, you have to be under personal protection 24 hours a day?"

"Well, night is the most dangerous. The attack on Kangong Kingdom will not end here."

When it comes to business, Yula's expression is a little serious. She has already investigated the previous train incident. The Kangong Kingdom is undoubtedly the mastermind, and the Pearl family is also involved, but there is no evidence.

"Perhaps, but the next attack may be a long time away. The next Wizards Council will take at least a year."

"You want to live here for so long? Why don't you just get married." Vickery teased.

"...there are only three tasks

months. "

Youra lowered her head silently, avoiding his sight, and kept folding clothes in her hands, seeming a little panicked.

"Take this."
