She said nonchalantly: "So, I will break your legs first, and then go to Fuxing Palace with the grievances of being 'attempted to usurp' by the prince."

Thales frowned:

"To beg my father for justice?"

The female swordsman shook her head:

"No, I will prove to him and the kingdom that after this incident, the prince and I are at odds with each other. Therefore, in the confrontation between the two shining stars, I must stand on the side of the king. Then, I will take advantage of the situation and give it to your father.

Put forward the same conditions: I will sacrifice the north for him, and he will grant me the title of duke, so I can still get what I want."

Thales looked in disbelief.

"As I said," Miranda shook her head, "No matter what, I have to find my own way out."

It's just...there's a stepping stone missing.

Thales swallowed his throat.

really.

Take control of your lower body and be happy in the second half of your life.

"So, Ms. Miranda Allender."

Thales sighed, turned around and said seriously:

"Will you be my wife?"

Miranda was startled when she heard this, but she looked at him for a long time and understood something:

"No, I don't want to."

Thales nodded.

"So, will you be my queen?"

"No, I don't want to either."

Thales looked into her eyes.

"In that case, Miranda Arend, will you be my knight?"

In the study room of Xinghu Castle, the young man and the female swordsman faced each other silently.

After a moment, Miranda smiled.

She took a step back and faced Thales:

"I do, Your Highness."

Thales narrowed his eyes: "Even if I might order you to do something less pleasant, such as swinging a sword at Raphael?"

Miranda was silent for a moment.

"Raphael is very important to me, Your Highness."

Thales chuckled and shook his head, waving his hand and saying: "I know, Mira. So I'm just joking."

"But he is not everything in my life."

Miranda interrupted him with sharp eyes:

"Far from it."

This was beyond Thales' expectations, and he looked at the female swordsman in front of him in surprise.

"So, Your Highness, if he blocks your way, blocks our way, I will be sad."

At that moment, the Neverwinter Sword of Broken Dragon Fortress reached out and grasped the hilt at his waist, filled with murderous intent.

"But never hesitate."

Taylor was immediately awe-inspiring.

He stared at her for a long, long time.

Miranda Allender.

What is she?

A sharp sword?

Yes, but not entirely.

A chess piece?

Maybe, but there are discrepancies.

A chip?

Possible, but is it light or heavy?

What do you say, King Kessel?

Thales held the bone ring in his lapel.

Just as we planned, she gathered under my banner.

But it’s not like what we think. At least it’s not the power we have in mind.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it exists on your chessboard or under your rules.

Thales raised his lips.

Because she is a human being.

Damn, the people outside the chessboard.

What do you say, father?

Thoughts flashed by like lightning. The next second, Thales smiled slightly:

"So, Mira, welcome to Star Lake Castle."

Although we will embark on a journey soon.

Miranda smiled too.

"etc."

She shook her head, took Yingxiang out of her waist, and put it on her palm: "The ancient ritual of the North."

Thales was startled, then sighed.

He pulled out the JC dagger from his waist and pressed it on his palm as well, only to feel a headache-inducing familiarity in front of him: "Oath of alliance?"

"As expected of the prince who has returned from the north," Miranda's eyes lit up, "He has seen a lot."

More than a few.

Thales thought helplessly.

More than you can imagine.

The next second, the two of them exerted force at the same time and felt the pain between their palms and the sword blade.

"So, Thales Bright Star, from today on, I will be loyal to you and serve you."

Miranda put down her eagle and stretched out her hand solemnly, blood flowing from her palm:

"In return, you will fully support my inheritance of orthodoxy. If necessary, you will not hesitate to go down personally to announce to the kingdom that there is only one Lord of the North recognized by you..."

Thales exhaled, stretched out his scarlet hands, and took over her words:

"Duchess Miranda Allende."

With a snap, the two people's palms clenched tightly.

"So, from today on, I..."

In the middle of speaking, Thales suddenly remembered the unpleasant memory of "Gortaksa".

He couldn't help but sigh:

"You have said everything I want to say. As for what I didn't say..."

Blood streamed from their wrists.

Thales pouted listlessly:

"Well, it's all in the blood."

Miranda frowned, but still shook her hands in displeasure, signing the oath.

But thinking together, Thales couldn't help but ask:

"Are there any restrictive measures, such as swearing a poisonous oath, placing a curse, etc. What if someone betrays you?"

Miranda shook her head disdainfully and pressed her palms hard:

"Only under one condition will I break my promise."

"When you're not strong enough."
