"They, they..." The knight trembled all over, even his voice changed. After hesitating for a while, he exclaimed, "They insulted Your Highness, that's why I, I..."
"Insult?" Melia looked at Luo'er, who was watching her calmly.
"You think I'm an idiot?" Anger surged within Melia. She picked up her skirt and kicked the knight in the head, sending him face-first into the mud, mouth full of dirt.
If it were those soldiers or interpreters from the headquarters, Melia might believe the knight's lie. But with Luo'er present, his lie sounded ludicrous. She might not know everyone, but Luo'er would never behind her back.
"No, I didn't deceive Your Highness, it really happened like that!!" The knight spat out the mud from his mouth, begging loudly for mercy.
"Still denying!" Melia stomped on him again, more vehement this time. Her anger flared and her kicks were ruthless.
"Captain Knight!" Melia shouted.
"Present!" The captain knight lowered his head and responded loudly.
