"It's you?!"
[Even though it's been a long, long time since I've met you, your familiar tone as well as accent still made Princess Bianka recognize you at the first moment.]
[Princess Bianka expressed her gratitude to you, she didn't find the so-called God's Key in the relics, all she had were some dangerous magical creatures and organs, but that was nothing to her.]
[After a brief communication, you learned the reason why Princess Bianka came to this relic.]
[The power of the God's Key can easily destroy a city, if the power of terror if it really exists, then he must be in the hands of the country, otherwise it will greatly affect the stability of the sol country.]
[And as the current number one master of the empire and the princess of the country, Bianka naturally won't allow the God's Key to fall into other hands and thus threaten the country, that's why she's here.]
[After confirming that Princess Bianka is not in any serious trouble, you informed Princess Bianka of the current situation in the Empire.]
"So, was this a trap set against me."
Upon hearing the news of her father's death, Princess Bianka's eyes only slightly flashed with a different look.
Without any expression of sadness on her face, Bianka immediately gathered the only remaining knights together.
"Everyone, we need to set off back to the palace immediately!"
Princess Bianka told the knights the news that Lu Yu had informed her of, and after realizing the seriousness of the situation, the knights' expressions turned very tense.
Lu Yu: "Princess Bianka, the horses you rode when you came here have all been killed, now to quickly go back to the Royal Capital, I suggest you first go to the Fragrance Town not far away to buy some horses."
Hearing Lu Yu's suggestion, Bianka nodded.
"Thanks."
Lu Yu shook his head, "No need to thank, this is just returning a favor."
The once Princess Bianka had brought people to help him avenge his father's murder, and now that he had saved the other party, it was fair to return the favor.
"No matter what the reason is, you are the savior of all of us present, please allow me to sincerely say thank you again."
Bianka bowed to Lu Yu.
Hearing Bianka say that, Lu Yu accepted the bow graciously.
After bowing, Bianka was saying goodbye to Lu Yu.
Her father had just passed away, and now that the Empire had sent troops to attack the border, the country needed her strength, and her brother needed her support, so she couldn't waste any more time here.
"Then, I'll be going."
After saying goodbye, Lu Yu waved his hand at Bianka.
The other party was going back to save this country, and it was time for him to continue his adventure.
However, the moment Lu Yu turned around with the intention of leaving, suddenly, Bianka's voice entered his ears.
"You, do you want to go back with me?"
[In order to repay your favor, Princess Bianka invites you to return to the Imperial Capital with her, may I ask if you accept this invitation?]
[1 Accept the invitation]
[2 Decline the invitation]
"Accept."
[You accept Princess Bianka's invitation and decide to return to the Imperial Capital with her.]
Under your guidance, you, Princess Bianka, and the Knight Squad soon arrived at the town, and after purchasing enough horses, you set off together for the country's imperial capital.]
[The journey from the town to the capital took about half a month.]
During this half-month, you met several groups of refugees on the road, and after inquiring about them, you learned the bad news that two of the three fortresses along the border of the empire had already been lost.
[After learning this news, the knights all showed a worried look ...]
[Even on the way back, you encountered an elite scouting team of the empire.]
[The number of this scout squad is not large, but the action is very agile, especially the leader of the scouts has a flexible stance that normal people can not have, seeing that the enemy can not defeat you, the other party's leader is going to lead the people to escape, and you have long since seen through the heart of his intention to escape.]
[You have already seen through his intention to escape. You made a timely move, and under your superior sword skills, the remaining remnants of the other party were quickly killed by you. And after seeing your superior sword skills, I was able to kill them all. I was able to kill them all.]
[And after seeing your superior swordsmanship, Princess Bianka expressed her approval of you.]
"I didn't expect you to have become so strong."
Watching Lu Yu kill the other party's leader with ease, Bianka's eyes carried a hint of delight.
What she had wanted was to take Lu Yu back to the Imperial Capital and properly repay the other party, but she didn't realize that Lu Yu had actually given him such a big surprise.
"Thank you, this is already the second time you've helped me."
Counting releasing her from the relics, this was indeed the second time Lu Yu had helped Bianka.
"It's nothing, I'm also a citizen of this country, and in the face of this kind of enemy that invades our country, it's naturally impossible for me to sit back and do nothing."
[Although your killing of a scout squad is that this is something worth celebrating, but on the flip side, this is also representing the fact that the enemy's infiltration of the country has already begun.]
[After understanding that, the state of your entire team became even more depressed.]
[In this state, you returned to the royal capital and entered the palace.]
[Following Princess Bianka's side, you met the current king, Princess Bianka's brother - Stan]
"..."
"Blanch, Stan? Isn't that the cat, you're sewing outrageously! First Shakespeare and Schrodinger, and now you're sewing the cat right in for me?"
[...]
[After seeing his sister's safe return, Stan was thrilled; bad news after bad news these days, the young emperor in his late teens was going bald.]
[Bianka told Stan what happened in the ruins in the first place, and also what she saw along the way as well as about your merits.]
[After listening to Bianka's report, Stan decided to reward you heavily, may I ask, what kind of reward do you want?
[1: An endless supply of money: Money isn't everything, but in times of war, you can't do without it!]
[2 An official position with real power: saving the princess is such a big deal, you have to give me a good official position, right?
[3 A title with no real power: with a title, you might be able to try to bring your worried mother to the imperial capital to enjoy life.]
"I choose 3."
[You asked the new King Stan for a title with no real power, King Stan asked you why you wanted this, and you answered Stan that you have a mother at home who still struggles to run her own tavern, and that you wished to receive her to the Imperial Capital so that she could put down her work and retire in peace].
[After hearing your reasoning, Stan immediately crowned you a Viscount of the Empire and rewarded you with an unoccupied mansion in the Imperial Capital].
[After completing your reward, Stan signaled with his eyes that you could leave, next he was going to discuss some confidential matters with his sister, Princess Bianka, matters that Stan didn't want any outsiders to know about]
[You read Stan's eyes, and after searching for a random excuse, you let the guard's lead you out of the palace.]
You settled down in the imperial capital, and you asked someone to go to your hometown to bring your mother over.
Ten days later, your mother arrived safely at your residence.
[After hearing your story, your mother shed tears of joy, you have become a Viscount of the Empire, in her eyes, you are her pride!
[After wiping away her tears, your mother tells you that since you already have a knighthood, you should be a man like your father, your father sacrificed his life in order to protect the people of the town, and now that the country is in trouble and you're so powerful, you should go and do something you can!
[After listening to your mother's teachings, it was as if you realized something, and coincidentally Princess Bianka also happened to decide to lead her army to the border to fight the powerful enemy herself soon after, and on the day of Princess Bianka's departure, you came to Princess Bianka's presence, and you told her you decided to go with her to fight against the invading enemy].
[After learning of your intentions, Princess Bianka was so pleased that she agreed to accompany you and appointed you as her retainer.]
Soon, you, Princess Bianka, and the army arrived at the last fortress on the border of the empire.
[Thanks to Princess Bianka and the reinforcements, the defenders of the fortress were greatly encouraged, and you won the first battle after arriving at the fortress.]
[However, a small victory in battle doesn't change anything, and as wave after wave of enemy attacks follow, you realize one thing, and that is that perhaps you won't be able to go home for a short time ...]
[Age 20: Without realizing it, it's been half a year since you came to the fortress to fight the enemy invaders with Princess Bianka.]
[During these half a year, you have experienced countless battles, large and small, you have been injured, and once your life hangs in the balance, in the battlefield, the strength of the individual does not determine the trend of the entire battle, after all, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists].
[The enemy country's military strength is far stronger than yours, however, due to you and Princess Bianka working hand in hand together to guard this fortress, the enemy country has been hard and forcefully attacking for half a year without being able to knock it down.]
[However, this is just the beginning, this time the enemy nation is coming on strong, they have long been prepared to fight a long battle.]
[Battle after battle, you charge into battle with Princess Bianka, and in the process of fighting, you gradually begin to learn Princess Bianka's unique method of fighting.]
[Age 21: It has been a year and a half since you came to this fortress, and during this year and a half, the entire battle has remained very stalemate. Although the enemy country does not have any usable generals, the opposing army is so powerful that they can afford to wear out their troops.]
[22 years old: Another year has passed, and the war situation still hasn't changed much.]
As you spend more and more time with Princess Bianka, you learn more and more about her, and you realize that you've grown to love her.
[The opportunity to fall in love with Princess Bianka was when you happened to hear a message about her.]
[Before, you always thought that it was Stan who asked Bianka to come to the fortress to defend the enemy, but now you realize that it was actually Princess Bianka herself who asked for it.]
[In fact, during these two years, Stan has sent more than one message requesting Princess Bianka to return to the Imperial Capital.]
[You approached Princess Bianka and asked her why she was doing this.]
Bianka, who was checking the official documents in the barracks, looked up and saw Lu Yu, who had come to her.
Bianka: "Lu Yu, why are you here? Have you recovered?"
Lu Yu: "Bianka, I have a question for you."
Bianka: "Go ahead."
"I've heard that His Majesty Stan has been sending letters for you to return, right?"
Upon hearing this question posed by Lu Yu, Bianka's right hand that was writing an official document paused for a moment, and she smiled slightly, "Where did you hear this news? But this is indeed true, Stan, he has always had the idea of having me return to the Imperial Capital."
Lu Yu: "Then why don't you go back?"
"Because I'm Princess Bianka."
"Princess Bianka? Could it be that the reason you stayed here to hold fast is because of your princess status?"
Bianka: "Yes, I'm the princess of this country, Stan he's the king of this country, as royalty, both Stan and I have an obligation to protect the people of this country, besides ..."
"Besides?"
Bianka: "Besides, compared to Stan, the only thing I can do is to fight, Lu Yu, you know, I am a born warrior blessed by the gods, fighting is the only thing I will do, so I am going to stay here."
[Because fighting is the only thing I know how to do, I'm going to protect my people with the only thing I can do.]
[Such a pure and simple reason allowed a beautiful princess to fight against the enemy on the front lines for two and a half years.]
[Two and a half years isn't a long time, but how many two and a half years does a wonderful woman have?]
[At this moment of getting the answer, you are sure of one thing, and that is that you have completely fallen in love with this princess, this beautiful, simple and kind princess.]
[Talent, Only Because You're So Beautiful Unleashed: You've been fighting hand-in-hand with Princess Bianka for two and a half years, you've learned Princess Bianka's fighting methods, and now you're able to use the power of the swarming stars as well!
[23 years old: Since you can also use the power of the Swarming Stars, your strength has exploded, and you've even surpassed Bianka as the true number one in combat!
[And because of your sudden strength, the entire situation on the battlefield has changed drastically.]
[It's true that two fists can't resist four hands, and it's also true that a good man can't stand up to a crowd, but now yours is the Thousand Handed Rohan, the future warrior, you fight one against a hundred on the battlefield, you alone are a powerful army, and coupled with the fact that Princess Bianka is joining forces with you, the combination of the two of you on the battlefield is invincible].
[After a long delayed attack, one day the enemy country finally sent an envoy to negotiate peace with you.]
The peace talks are a good thing, but strangely enough, the enemy has set the location of the peace talks in a somewhat treacherous canyon.
[After hearing about the location of the peace talks, you feel that something is not right.]
