The chestnut-haired knight’s self-introduction made everyone quiet for a while.

And he was sitting on the horse calmly, letting everyone look at him, regardless of the fact that dozens of crossbows were still aimed at him.

Royal Guard?

Watchman?

Thales began to observe the knight who claimed to be the watchman of the royal guard again, and unconsciously compared him with Sak'el:

He is not as oppressive as Sak'el's figure, nor is his expression as firm and bitter as the punishment knight. On the contrary, even if he wears armor, Mallos still looks gentle and elegant, like a dandy.

Elite Guard.

"Tho de Mallos?"

A few seconds later, as he chewed on the name, Dele's eyes sharpened.

Paul frowned on one side:

"Dele, this name..."

Dele nodded and said something to his personal guard captain before the crow whistles present put away their menacing crossbows.

The atmosphere is better.

But Dele didn't seem to relax. He turned back and asked Thales:

"Do you know these people?"

Thales suppressed the urge to sigh.

Please, I just returned to China.

But the prince still nodded:

"Let's take a look."

He was about to pick up the reins and step forward, but Dele held his arm down.

"No, Thales."

Count Chroma looked solemn:

"If they are fake, then you should not have any contact with them. If they are real, then your position is too embarrassing. Whether you let us go or keep us, nothing is appropriate."

Thales narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party's serious eyes:

"so?"

"I'll come forward." Dele whispered, letting go of the prince's arm.

The Count of Wingburg turned to Marius:

"You said you were a watchman in the royal guard."

"But as far as I know, the position of Watchman has been vacant for many years, and the last one was before the Bloody Year."

"And the status of the watchman is extraordinary, and he has always been a highly respected person..."

Before Dele finished speaking, he was interrupted by a person behind Mallos.

"Your news is behind, Earl of Xihuang."

The knight who spoke had short brown hair and a serious look on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with the count's questioning:

"Lord Marius was promoted to Warden a year ago."

"Whether it is His Majesty, Lord Adrian, or even the entire Imperial Council, they all highly recognize his qualifications and abilities."

a year ago.

Thales saw Dele's expression change.

"Then... why didn't Lord Adrian or Lord Talon lead the team?" Earl of Wing Castle asked suspiciously.

Mallos curled up the corners of his mouth, but Thales always felt that his smile was a bit formal.

"Both the captain and the vice-captain have heavy responsibilities and cannot leave Fuxing Palace lightly," the knight who claimed to be a royal guard gestured to the twenty-four knights behind him, calmly and calmly:

"And this is a task specially assigned to us by His Majesty."

Mallos maintained his polite smile:

"On behalf of His Majesty, I would like to thank Xihuang for his help, but your mission has been completed."

Marius glanced at every soldier in the Western Wasteland, and his words gradually became deeper and deeper, leaving no room for doubt:

"From this moment on, we are fully responsible for all matters related to His Highness the Prince's return to the country."

"You can go home."

There was a commotion of dissatisfaction among the crow whistles around.

Listening to the other party's polite but hidden words, Dele and Paul both frowned.

Even Thales sighed secretly.

This is going to cause trouble.

"This is a team composed of Delekroma from Wing Castle, Paul Bozdov from Soul Castle, and twenty-eight families in the Western Wilderness."

Dele spoke slowly and repeated his identity. Thales could hear dissatisfaction in his words:

"We are escorting Prince Thales."

"If what you say is true, Lord Mallos," Dele said expressionlessly:

"Then I welcome you without hesitation to join our team until we arrive at Yongxing City and meet the officials from Fuxing Palace."

A blond knight behind Mallos burst out laughing.

Everyone looked at him.

"As far as I know, six years ago, Chaman Lumba of the Black Sand Territory also insisted on sending troops to escort Prince Thales to Longxiao City." The blond knight looked at them funny. He looked dignified, but shook his head:

"Guess what happened next?"

Dele and Paul were startled for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Thales.

As a witness, Tails' face suddenly turned dark.

Mallos, the leader, coughed heavily.

"Doyle, don't talk about state affairs."

The knight named Doyle raised his eyebrows and spoke in a relaxed tone:

"certainly."

"You decide."

Mallos coughed:

"Also, be friendly. According to the family tree, Count Croma is yours, yours..."

Mallos paused as he spoke.

But Doyle quickly picked up his words deftly:

"My grandmother's brother-in-law's great-nephew's cousin?"

What?

Dele was also stunned when he said this.

There was silence for a few seconds, and Doyle smiled and gave Lord Wingburg a shrug.

"Oh, really."

Mallos frowned and sighed, seeming to be troubled by this relationship.

Dele stopped paying attention to the teasing between the other party and took a deep breath:

"You didn't send a messenger to communicate as usual, and your identity is still in doubt, but you wanted to pick up the prince as soon as you came... For safety reasons, I can't take risks."

After hearing what he said, Mallos did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while.

After a while, he made up his mind.

"Let us speak plainly, count."

Mallos cleared his throat and his expression changed from indifferent to serious:

"I know what you are concerned about is that you want the entire king to see you and Prince Thales walking into Yongxing City together, so that the entire star can know the relationship between the nobles of the Western Wasteland, the prince, and the future king."

"It's not a matter of the prince's safety."

Both Dele and Thales' expressions changed.

Mallos squeezed his cheeks with a smile:

"And my job is to stop you."

After Mallos finished speaking, Dele's expression turned cold.
