"The princess told you to stop!" the golden knight added, with an even louder voice.
Emery finally stopped in his steps when he heard that. He turned around, looked at the princess for a moment and bowed his head while saying, "Anything else that I can do for you, my Royal Highness?"
Even though his tone was normal, after seeing him being ignorant earlier and hearing him saying things like this, the princess was smart enough to tell that Emery was being sarcastic. But unexpectedly, instead of being angry due to the sarcasm, the princess took Emery's words rather calmly.
She slowly sheathed the blade in her hand and said, "Raise, squire. Let me see your face."
Emery raised his head and this time, locked gaze with the princess. The two were standing face to face, looking directly at each other.
