Things about the female knight in black stockings

This was also one of her gains from drawing a blind box at the Dimension Hardware Store. It was a purple rare weapon that had been kept in the warehouse since it was drawn and had not been used.

"bring it on."

After waving the dagger in her hand a few times to find the feel, Valencia struck a pose:

"Start practicing from now on, start practicing from the most basic use of the dagger, Lian!"

"Yes, Instructor!"

. . . . .

After successfully recruiting Sophia and Lian, at the Iris Women's College class reunion the next night, Valencia once again talked about her plan and extended an invitation to the girls.

Many girls were very excited, but not impulsive. They all said they would consider it.

However, after learning that Sofia had agreed to Valencia's recruitment, many girls who said they wanted to consider it quickly made up their minds.

Two days later, after the girls' hesitation, thinking, and communication with their families, a total of 19 girls, including Sophia and Lian, finally agreed to Valencia's recruitment and chose to join the church.

Among the girls who have not agreed to recruit, most of them are already engaged, and they have been getting along well with their fiancés so far, so let's get married.

There are also some girls who, although they have the desire for freedom, do not have the courage to run towards freedom. After some ideological struggle, they still choose to give up the struggle and follow the family arrangements.

Valensa did not persuade these girls anymore... Just as she said to Sophia at the beginning, she would only give the girls a chance to struggle. The real choice is up to the girls themselves.

At the same time, there was also good news from Lika.

In the past few days, while Valencia was busy recruiting those girls, Lika also submitted an application to the church headquarters after discussing Valencia's ideas with several high priests.

The response from the church headquarters was very quick and the result was as expected.

The headquarters did not reject Valencia's idea, but it did not fully agree.

The headquarters allowed Valencia to first form a trial team and give each member a formal church priesthood for a five-year trial period.

If Valencia's team can perform as expected within these five years, her proposal will be officially adopted and promoted in all church branches.

If the performance of this team fails to meet expectations in five years, the organization can still be retained, but this plan will not be promoted...Sofia and Lian will be the first and last such team.

In terms of social skills, Sophia and the others have already done a lot of practice, and the next focus of practice is on various knowledge about cults.

In this regard, Valencia still entrusted it to Fran... After all, even her own relevant knowledge was basically learned from Fran.

Valencia herself spends most of her time at the training ground, adapting to the power of the lighthouse level and guiding Lian's practice.

A few more days have passed, and with the end of this year's Zhanzheng Academy enrollment assessment, the start of school is approaching, and it's almost time for Tia to come back.

There is no particularly easy-to-use remote communication prop in this world. The Lian Nian Crystal Instrument can perform functions similar to email, but Fran's network center is not connected to the Sage Tower.

Valencia doesn't know what the results of Tia's retreat will be, but she believes in Tia's talent and ability.

Tia said that if she could break through to the lighthouse this summer, she would be able to do it.

When Tia reaches the lighthouse level, she should be able to use more secret techniques to connect the space... I wonder how powerful Tia will become?

While missing Tia and wanting to be intimate with her, Valencia was also a little eager to have a fight with her.

When Tia comes back, let's have a good discussion with her. Whoever loses will be at the bottom...

"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so hard? It's broad daylight now!"

Valencia was drinking tea and fantasizing when she was suddenly knocked on the head.

She looked up and found that it was Lika who was very busy at work on weekdays.

"Hehe... I love fantasy, but that's the privilege of young people, Sister Lika."

"...You girl, are you always making excuses about me? Hey!"

Lika flicked Valencia's forehead again without politeness, and then ordered:

"Don't think about those shameless things. How can you be more dissatisfied than a succubus like me? Hurry up, take a shower, change into formal clothes, and come with me."

"Oh, alright."

Valencia did not refuse, but was a little curious:

"Where are you taking me, Sister Lika? Is it to meet the big shots from the church headquarters?"

"No, no big shots come to the church headquarters...and they rarely leave the Divine Continent."

Lika shook her head and said seriously:

"It's a messenger from the palace. His Majesty the King wants to summon you... It's probably because of the incident between Iris Women's College and the Yuanling Society."

"Huh? His Majesty the King wants to see me?"

Valencia was surprised.

Although she grew up in the royal capital and was a noble, she didn't see the king very often. Even when she attended the palace dinner this year, she only saw him on the magic projection.

When was the last time you met His Majesty the King?

Valencia curled her hair around her ears and found that she couldn't even remember.

"Don't worry, it's alright."

Seemingly sensing Valencia's nervousness, Lika comforted her with a smile:

"The identity of the Knights of the Inner Temple is known to every person in power in the human government... It should be that the headquarters has informed the royal family about your situation, and the royal family has decided to show favor to you.

If I'm not wrong, His Majesty the King should use the incident at Iris Women's College as an excuse to give you a lot of rewards, and even give you a title... Just accept it with peace of mind. "

Chapter 18

After taking a shower, Valencia hesitated for about 2 minutes between the traditional palace dress and the knight's outfit. Valencia chose the knight's outfit with a silver armor cape and a short skirt and black stockings.

In fact, as the daughter of Valencia's noble family, traditional court attire is more appropriate when meeting the king, but this time she was going to receive an award, so it was okay to wear a knight's attire.

Of course, in Valencia's mind, the most important reason why she chose the knight's outfit was that the skirt of the traditional palace dress was too long and would block her beautiful black silk stockings, which she didn't like.

After dressing up, Valencia walked out of the church.

At the door, a carriage pulled by four white horses was waiting on the roadside. The appearance of the carriage looked quite low-key, but the materials were all of the highest quality, and there was a golden royal seal on the curtain.

Next to the carriage was a group of handsome knights of the Guards, which attracted many women to watch. However, the knights remained standing motionless and did not look away.

It wasn't until Valencia approached that a knight with a lavender cloak behind his back stepped forward and made an invitation to Valencia with impeccable etiquette:

"Miss Valencia Bader, please move, His Majesty the King is waiting for you in the council chamber."

"Thank you."

Valencia also returned the same standard knight's salute, then stepped out of her long black stocking legs and stepped onto the carriage.

When the car curtain was about to be lowered, the knight with the lavender cloak behind his back hesitated for a moment, then quietly approached the car and whispered:

"In addition, I personally would like to express my deepest gratitude to you, Miss Bader... my fiancée, who I grew up with and have a close relationship with, is a student of Iris Women's College."

"You are too kind, Mr. Knight."

Valencia smiled slightly:

"As an instructor who conducts basic military training for them and teaches them life-saving techniques, it is my duty to protect them from the evil gang's attacks."

The guard knight said nothing more, but bowed to Valencia sincerely, then walked to the front of the team and gave the order to the other guard knights:

"Go back to the palace."

Only then did Valencia fully lean on the soft chair in the carriage for the final relaxation.

The thank you from the guard knight just now made her feel quite comfortable and gave her a sense of accomplishment.

And it can be seen from the performance of the guard knight that he and his fiancée should have a good relationship, and the marriage is indeed true love.

It is indeed right to give girls the opportunity to choose for themselves instead of using more crude means to destroy various marriages.

The location of the church and the royal palace was in the central city of the royal capital, and the distance was not too far. Valencia's carriage stopped not long after.

"This way, Miss Bardell."

The other knights of the guard stayed in place with the carriage, and the captain of the knights of the guard who had thanked Valencia before continued his duty of guiding Valencia.

The two walked through the corridors and gardens of the palace and soon arrived at the door of the council chamber.

There is also a team of handsome Guards Knights guarding here. They should have received the order long ago. They just verified Valencia's identity and let Valencia go in directly without doing too many checks or notifications.

As soon as they entered the palace meeting hall, there was a rather heated argument coming from the front.

Valencia looked carefully and found that there were not many people in the meeting hall. It was completely different from the imagined scene where the king was in the middle and the civil and military officials were on both sides.

This conference hall is more like a conference room of a large company than a grand hall where hundreds of officials can meet.

There was a long white jade table. The king and the queen sat at the top of the table opposite the door, and the remaining ten people were divided on both sides.

Currently, the two middle-aged men who are expressing their opinions to His Majesty the King are two middle-aged men. Valencia is not familiar with her, but she knows that both of them should be the core ministers of the kingdom.

The two of them were not quarreling, they just had different views on a certain issue and were insisting on their own opinions.

The king, who was listening to the words of the two men, had an expressionless face. His nearly 70-year-old face had no wrinkles and his skin was fair and smooth, similar to that of a well-maintained man in his 40s or [-]s.

It's just that his body looks too thin, and the dark circles under his eyes are more obvious. It looks like he is tired from dealing with all kinds of things, and it also looks like he has overindulged in sex.

The queen sitting next to the king was completely different.

Her rosy face is full of energy, her plump figure stands tall and proud, and her delicate skin is as white as milk. She looks like a newlywed lady who is not yet 30 years old, but she is actually about the same age as the king, and she has used many expensive alchemicals. Products preserve beauty and youth.

The people closest to the king and queen are also members of the royal family.

Sitting next to the king was the crown prince who had given gifts to Valencia and Tia on New Year's Eve. At this time, he had seen Valencia's arrival and cast a friendly smile on her.

Sitting opposite the crown prince was naturally Elsess, the princess of the kingdom. She was also the first to come out as gay in the upper class circle.

Her relationship with Valencia was obviously closer than that of the crown prince, and she even winked at Valensa while others were not paying attention.

Further down the list are the important ministers of the kingdom who are not members of the royal family, and Valensa doesn't know many of them.

Among them was Tia's father and Valencia's future father-in-law, the Military Advisor. However, the Military Advisor was very calm at this time. He just exchanged a look with Valencia and then looked away, without conveying anything more to Valencia. information meaning.

In addition to the military counselor, another important minister of the kingdom that Valencia could recognize at a glance was a very burly man with a square face and a beard.

This person is none other than General Puder of the Kingdom, who is also the nominal number one figure in the military.

But compared to the actual influence in the military and family power, the Britannia family, who is also the master strategist, is even better.

Because the main task of the Brittania family is to fight against the invasion of wild beasts from the north, which is also the largest foreign enemy of the Kingdom of France at present, most of the actual military power is in the hands of the military advisor, and most of his trusted subordinates are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles.

Admiral Puder's sphere of influence is mostly in the south - all naval fleets in the entire Kingdom of France are led by Puder, so many people call Puder Admiral.

The Kingdom of France has no strong enemies from the sea. The four-island alliance, which is also a neighboring human country, is France's best sea barrier. Therefore, France's navy is not large in number. Most of the time, its mission is to protect the envoys. and defeat the sea monsters that have repeatedly attacked humans.

Valencia knew this square-faced and bearded admiral because of her grandfather... Her grandfather had a very good personal relationship with the previous generation of Pude. After passing their respective positions to their respective sons, they also called other A few friends went out on an adventure together, but their whereabouts are still unknown.

Chapter 19 The King's Reward

When Valencia wanted to continue to see if the other ministers knew each other, the king finally interrupted the two ministers who were arguing:

"I understand what you all mean. We will discuss this matter later. Now it is time to commend this knight lady who saved the royal capital."

The heated debate quickly subsided, and everyone's eyes in the council hall were suddenly focused on Valencia.

Valencia had no stage fright, and knelt down on one knee calmly and gracefully with the etiquette of a knight to a king:

"Valencia Badr, I see His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and say hello to all of you."

"Haha... wake up, kid."

The king was obviously in a good mood, and the dark eyes that seemed to be overworked suddenly turned dim:

"I can't believe it... In just a few years, the playful girl that Mr. Wilson described as running around every day has grown into such an outstanding knight... It's a pity that you gave up the inheritance rights of the Bader family. , otherwise the Badr family is likely to return to its peak in your hands."

"Your Majesty has given a prize."

Valencia replied humbly:

"Actually, it was without the worries of family affairs that I was able to practice with peace of mind, and gained the ability to turn the tide in an incident.

If I really choose to inherit the Badr family, I will most likely become a sacrifice to the evil god like other students this time. "

"Are you going to give up the complicated family affairs and focus on your spiritual practice... hmm."

The king nodded:

"Before, I thought that your giving up the responsibility of being the heir was an act of evasion. Now it seems that you have made a choice and realized it, which is good.
