My Maid Knight

2022-03-09/p> Chapter 54 I would like to be her Behind him, he said softly:

“Young Lord, the clothes to change later have been placed in your room.”

Roy hesitated for a while: “I want to participate too. Is this funeral?”

Ivy’s body was temporarily placed at the headquarters of the Knight regiment. After the funeral was held at the headquarters, the escort team would cross half of Upper City and come to Underground City to bury him in the Hall of Valor.

Except for the honor guard dispatched by the temple, there are only fifty escorts for family members and friends.

The relatives of the Christian House family will definitely be there, because Ivey was a Knight of the Divine Knight regiment before his death, so the people of the Knight regiment will also be there, and the fifty places can easily be filled.

And he, strictly speaking, is neither Ivy’s family nor a colleague, and he has never even met Ivey. It stands to reason that he has no name to occupy the place of escort.

“Come with me, will you?”

Arya showed a pleading look, and her soft tone even contained a hint of girlish coquettishness.

For the relationship between the master and the servant, this kind of request is obviously a bit over the line, and the maid is not qualified to make any personal request to the master.

But Roy didn’t treat her as a simple servant either. Feeling Arya looking at him, he had to stand up and say:

“Okay.”

Arya rolled her eyes and walked briskly back to her room.

As Roy changed into his black formal suit, Arya also changed and waited quietly for him at the door.

She was wearing a black gauze dress and a gauze hat. The black veil hanging down from the brim of the hat covered half of her face like a mist. She also held two bunches of white chrysanthemums in her hand, looking more than ever. more mature and attractive.

“Let’s go.”

Roy looked away, looking steadily forward.

“en. ”

Arya complied lightly and followed behind Roy, her eyes constantly lingering on Roy’s arms.

Until the carriage came to the headquarters of the Knight regiment, Roy jumped off the carriage first, looking at the unfamiliar crowd in front of him, hesitating slightly.

There were a lot of people coming and going at the gate of the Knight’s headquarters for this funeral, but all of them were unfamiliar faces he didn’t know.

At this point, Arya finally gathered up the courage and stepped forward to grab his hand.

“There are so many people, be careful if you get lost. There is still some time, I, I will show you the Knight group!”

She lowered her head and her ears were red.

Roy laughed, but didn’t break free: “Okay.”

He let Arya lead him and walked into the gate of Knight’s headquarters. At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away. the sound of.

“Roy, here!”

Gawain waved at him from the side, and beside him stood Leon and a faceless woman, from a straight stance and a cold voice. In his imposing manner, it seems that he is also a Knight of the Knight regiment.

“Gawain, don’t you think this little fellow is really talented?”

Leon was not surprised by Roy’s arrival, he nods to Roy, and then jokes with Gawain .

Gawain glanced over the hands that Roy and Arya were holding, and said “um”, tacitly acknowledging their relationship.

There is even some relief in my heart.

He admired Roy very much. The family was able to overturn the case, and Roy had more than half of the credit. He also knew that his niece was interested in Roy.

Arya became an aristocratic Knight, and now she has awakened to become an inheritor. She and Roy are naturally matched. If they can get married, as an elder, he is very much in favor of this marriage.

Arya’s face was relatively thin after all. After being stared at meaningfully by several elders, her face became even redder, and she was about to withdraw her hand.

She pulled her hand back slightly, but Roy didn’t seem to notice Arya’s careful thought, took her hand and walked over generously.

“Hello Mr. Gawain and Mr. Leon.”

Roy walked over and said politely, while Arya blushed and whispered hello.

Finally, Roy set his eyes on the woman.

She has a tall height of over 1.75 meters with short golden hair. Although she also wears black mourning clothes, she does not wear a gauze skirt like Arya, but a suit like a man. She looks valiant and formidable looking .

“This is the deputy head of the Divine Knight regiment, Cynthia Wilson.”

Gawain introduced, “This is…Arya’s friend, Roy Arnold.”

“Hello.”

Cynthia’s friendly extend the hand: “I’ve heard about your deeds, Roy, you have contributed a lot to this reversal, and now You are also a friend of the Divine Knight group.”

“Where, the hardest is Mr. Leon and Mr. Gawain.”

Roy shook hands with her, and said humbly, “Very hard. It’s an honor to meet you, Lord Cynthia.”

Just after a few greetings, a Knight walked up to Leon and reported, “The master of ceremonies has arrived.”

The master of ceremonies belongs to the Temple of Sidonia The Temple Specter, on behalf of the temple, presides over all kinds of major ceremony and festivals, so its status is very high.

Leon> nods, “instructed: get ready to start, don’t keep them waiting.”

“Of course, Master of Ceremonies.” Leon nodded.

The original memorial ceremony should be held at the Christian mansion, but the Christian House family had their property confiscated before, and now there is no place to hold the memorial ceremony, but it can only be held at the headquarters of the Knight regiment.

Ivey’s coffin lay quietly in the hall of the headquarters. Everyone gathered in the hall and stood solemnly, and the ceremony began.

After a period of mourning, the black-robed master of ceremonies took the lead in delivering a eulogy on behalf of the temple:

“Even if the night comes, we still believe that the light will come. On the eve of dawn, a Knight defended his life with his life. We are here now, in the presence of Sidonia, we are united, we will always remember the sacrifices made by the Christian House family in the Underground City case, and we swear to fight against all the darkness and injustice in this world Fight to the end…”

The solemn voice of the emcee echoed throughout the hall.

This was followed by Leon’s eulogy on behalf of the Knight regiment, and finally Gawain’s eulogy on behalf of the family.

The whole process lasted about half an hour, and then the flower laying session, everyone stepped forward and put the flowers in their hands in front of the coffin.

The first flowers of course are higher-ranking leaders and better-connected family members, with Leon and Cynthia first, Gawain and his wife next, and then Arya and Roy.

Placing the white chrysanthemum in his hand in front of the coffin, Roy and Arya stood by as family members, watching the guests come up to lay flowers one by one.

Some people are solemn, some are sad, and some are indifferent, as if they are just dealing with a cutscene.

Arya was silent throughout the whole process. Instead of looking at the to-and-fro guests, she turned to her side and stared at the coffin beside her.

The coffin board of the coffin is made of transparent glass, and Ivey lying inside is well taken care of by the mortuary makeup artist, and it looks as if he just closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This is probably the reunion of Arya and father after two months.

Because he had never had contact with Ivy, Roy didn’t feel too deeply about his death, but he could sense the repressed emotions of the girl around him, so he could only hold her hand silently , I hope to help her share even a little sadness.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent.

Several silhouettes appeared at the door, led by a tall middle-aged Knight in armor and bronze skin.

“Raymond Abraham, what is the leader of the Guardian Knight regiment doing here?”

“After all, it is the funeral ceremony of the Knight regiment, and they are all part of the Knight regiment. It’s normal for other branch leaders to come and say hello?”

“That’s what I said, but I heard…”

“It’s just a rumor, Leon The adults didn’t say anything, we just need to watch.”

“…”

Countless eyes were focused on the head of the middle-aged Knight, but he looked steadily forward, Ignoring the whispers of others, he went straight to Ivey’s coffin.

First, they greeted the master of ceremonies and Leon, and then presented the bouquets in front of the coffin. Knight, who was behind him, also filed to lay the flowers.

“I just came back from World Tree, I’m in uniform, please forgive me.”

Raymond stood beside Leon, “The Mithril Knight regiment stationed in World Tree also heard about this. This time, on behalf of not only the Guardian Knights, but also the Mithril Knights, I would like to express my sincere condolences for Ivy Knight.”

Leon sighed: “Ivey has been loyal to the temple all his life, loyal to The Knights, didn’t expect to be murdered by a traitor, it’s really fortune plays with people. If it weren’t for the grievances, not just the Divine Knights, the entire Knights of the Temple’s reputation would suffer a major blow.”

Raymond comforted: “Knight is united, we will severely punish the murderer, so that Ivey’s spirit in the sky can be comforted, and this tragedy will not be repeated. This kind of thing will not happen again.”

“You have this realization?”

“Naturally.”

His Excellency Christian stopped talking, Raymond looked towards the other side of the genus, and finally looked at Locked on a black-haired teenager.

As if having a feeling in the heart, Roy raised his head and looked at him from a distance.

“What a teenage hero.”

Raymond squinted his eyes and complimented before leaving with his subordinates.

This episode did not disrupt the scheduled itinerary. As Ivey’s funeral was over, the honor guard carried his coffin to the carriage and left the Knight regiment in a crowd.

At the rear of the honor guard, lined up are Clansman from Christian House and Knight from Divine Knight Regiment.

Roy sits in the carriage at the end of the line as a guest, while Arya and Gawain, as immediate family members, each ride at the front of the line on two steeds.

As a Knight, Arya has received the most basic training of a Knight, and can ride a horse as it should be by rights, but Roy saw this scene for the first time, watching quietly in the carriage The back of her horse.

Once upon a time, the girl who begged her at the door of Arnold Mansion to adopt her as a maid had grown to this point unconsciously.

She rode in the sun on horseback, flanked by the bustling crowd, like a knight returning in triumph receiving the attention of the crowd.

“Look, that’s the eldest daughter of the Christian House clan. I heard that she was the one who cleared the father’s grievances and killed the prisoners for revenge!”

“But she seems to be Isn’t she a little young?”

“So what if she is young! She is an inheritor, how can we imagine the power of an inheritor?”

“It’s really a young hero. “

“Ai, even the Knights of the Knights were brutally murdered by those gangsters in Underground City. They have inheritors who can help avenge them. If it’s our turn, what should we do? Sidonia is not peaceful. Sigh…”

“The temple blamed the loyal minister by mistake and made this oolong. I don’t know how many years I haven’t made such a low-level mistake. I guess those great characters can’t sit still. It’s time to clean up Underground City.”

“Hopefully, those thugs are really disturbing…”

“…”

I heard the chatter of the onlookers, Gawain drove the horse to walk slowly, looked steadily forward, opened the mouth and said: “Arya, concentrated one’s mind, keep your chest high.”

” Yes!” Arya straightened her back and tried her best to control the horse under her, recalling the Knight rules and etiquette she had learned before, letting the sweat on her forehead drip down the tip of her nose.

She felt countless lines of sight gathered on her body, once these eyes contained cursing and frigid irony and scorching satire against the Christian House family, cutting her body and mind like thorns.

But now, these thorns have all turned into praise and praise for her.

Uncle is right, this is the time to hold your chest up.

She wants to prove to everyone that the Christian House family walks in the sunshine with a clear conscience, and why should they be afraid of the slander of the world?

The honor guard grandiose walked through the main roads of Upper City, and finally came to an entrance of Underground City, which was larger than the usual entrance and did not allow ordinary people to enter and exit here.

Because it leads directly to the Hall of Valor in Underground City.

Arriving here, everyone dismounted collectively, the honor guard carried the coffin, and the entire group walked down.

Although he had come to Underground City, Roy looked around, but he didn’t feel any real feeling of coming back here again.

This area of the Hall of Valor is heavily guarded by the Temple, and an invisible barrier separates it from the outer settlements into two worlds.

The air in the Hall of Valor inside the barrier is fresh, spotless, bright and holy, while the residential area outside looks drowsy and dark.

Just looking at it, he seemed to smell the musty and dull smell unique to Underground City in his memory.

“Roy, let’s go,” Gawain reminded.

In the end, there are only three places that can enter the Hall of Valor together with the honor guard. As close relatives, Gawain and Arya must occupy two.

Roy thought the last spot should be for Leon, didn’t expect to be himself.

He came back to his senses and walked into the Hall of Valor with Gawain.

Even if it is buried in the Hall of Valor, the specifications of the burial are different. Compared with the general deceased, the ashes will be burned first and then buried. The deceased of the meaning will be left with the whole body.

I don’t know how Leon works in the council, but he actually helped Ivey get the highest standard funeral.

Perhaps this is Sidonia’s way of apologizing for the wrongful case.

The honor guard placed the coffin in the reserved grave. After it was buried, the master of ceremonies took them all to evacuate, leaving the rest of the time for family members and relatives.

Gawain has been staying vigil at Knight’s headquarters for the past few nights, and his emotions have been vented. At this time, facing Ivy’s spirit tablet, he has nothing to say.

He stroked Ivey’s tombstone, paused, then patted Roy’s shoulder, and walked outside.

Roy looked at Arya, who was standing there, dazed.

“I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

He understood Arya’s mood, so he squeezed her little hand lightly and followed Gawain out.

The two came to the outside of the hall. Gawain sat on the steps and sighed softly: “Arya’s personality is relatively introverted, we need to give her some alone time with her father.”

Roy nodded, sat down beside him, and asked casually, “Is the injury on the shoulder okay?”

“Leon asked Cleric to treat me, so it’s nothing.”

Gawain looked sideways at Roy, “For the Paladins, they’re in this game. It was a blessing in disguise in the reversal of the verdict, and the odds of winning the position of commander-in-chief are even higher.

“But for the Christian House family, this nightmare will not end today, we will lose Ivy forever. , he is my good big brother and Arya’s good father, our home will never be restored.

“But Roy, you’re still young, and your life goes on anyway. Arya is no longer the little kid who needs to be looked after, and I’m sure you can do it without me. Let’s support each other, let’s go on together.”

Roy was slightly taken aback: “Aren’t you going to return to the Knights to resume your job? Everyone is in Upper City, so you can get together at any time.”

“Leon mentioned to me about reinstatement, but I refused.”

Gawain shook the head, “After so many things happened, I don’t have the same sense of belonging to the Knights as before. .”

“What’s the plan next?”

“Next…” He looked into the distance, “Just a few days ago, Hitomi, the head of the Black Flag Mercenaries, Coming back from outside the wall, I was thinking that the experience of being a mercenary in Lower City during this time may also be a blessing from God.

“I plan to join the Black Flag, leave Sidonia, and follow them. Go outside the walls to pioneer. “

Roy was silent for a while: “It’s a tough decision, refuse the Knight’s position to be a mercenary, your wife, and the rest of the family, will they agree?” “

Gawain smiled slyly: “Leon won’t treat them badly now or then.” In addition, Arya, as the next patriarch, has awakened inheritance, the future of the family is bright, and there is no more thing for me as a middle-aged uncle.

“It’s good for me to leave, I won’t compete with Arya for the patriarch position. If you get married in the future, the property of the Christian House family will also have half of yours.”

“So, Roy, what do you think about Arya?”

Gawain chatted while observing Roy’s expression.

He wants to know if Roy really has a crush on Arya and is ready to make a life-long commitment, or does he just treat her as a maid and have no plans to be together?

Even though the family has inherited Roy’s great favor, for Arya’s lifelong major event, he feels that he is obliged to replace his deceased brother to fulfill the responsibilities of an elder.

At the time of Ivy’s death, he had not taken care of Arya because of a single thought, and he has always regretted it.

If Roy is half-hearted and fails Arya, he will definitely seek justice for his niece this time, even if he cast aside all considerations for face with Roy.

“Uh…”

Roy was a little caught off guard when he heard Gawain talk abruptly about this topic.

Even though he had spent twenty or thirty years in his previous life, he never had the chance to enter the palace of marriage, and he was not prepared for this unknown field.

So now sitting on the steps with Gawain and chatting is actually meeting the parents?

The sweat on the palms of my hands came out at once. Maybe he could pretend he didn’t understand what Gawain was saying and forcefully change the subject, but he didn’t want to.

Escape has never been his style.

Roy pondered for a while, and then solemnly replied:

“Now I don’t quite understand what the word “marriage” really means and what I need to bear. But if I’m really lucky enough to meet someone to accompany me for the rest of my life—”

“I would like to be her. “
