After everything was announced as complete, Rayshui walked towards the Baron's Mansion with the respectful gazes of the common people, as if they were looking at a true god. During this time, there were even brave men willing to carry Rayshui on their backs, but Rayshui refused. He was not a native noble of this place and was quite resistant to such things.

"I'm so hungry..." The distance from the south of the city to the Baron's Mansion was not short, and while Rayshui wasn't tired when he returned, he was a bit hungry. After all, he hadn't eaten breakfast, and it was almost noon. By noon, the items he had ordered should have arrived, right? With that, he would finally not have to eat the local food. Whether it was the black bread, tasteless roast meat, or the boiled meat with only a tiny bit of saltiness, all of them were unbearable for Rayshui. To say they were hard to eat would be praising them.

Thinking that he could soon eat normal food, Rayshui's mood instantly improved. "Lord Rayshui." Alice's gentle call reached Rayshui's ears. Unlike her previous energetic voice, this one was soft, tender, and had a hint of timidity.

"Lord... uh, what's the matter?" Rayshui paused, stopped, and turned to look at Alice. What was wrong with Alice? Even her way of addressing him changed. Previously, she seemed to call him various unpleasant things, like pervert, demon, or pig/beast.

"Um..." Alice twisted her body uneasily, her fingertips tightly clenched together, her red lips slightly opened, looking hesitant. "Relax," Rayshui said with a soft laugh. "Can I become Lord Rayshui's knight?" Alice placed both hands on her chest, her toes slightly raised, her blue eyes brilliantly beautiful, as if autumn water was flowing in them.

"Of course." Rayshui was captivated by her beauty. From today on, could he consider himself a baron with a knight? Happiness came so suddenly! Now, Rayshui was only lacking one thing – someone to protect him. If Alice became his knight, it would be like giving coal in the snow. In fact, Rayshui already had his eye on Alice. After all, he was alone without any fighting power, he needed someone to protect him, and he heard that Alice was very strong - the few knights of Orton combined were no match for her.

What Rayshui didn't expect was that Alice would recognize him so quickly. He didn't think he was particularly impressive, but perhaps it was because the other nobles here were simply too weak. How to say it, they were just being outshined by their peers.

"Lord Rayshui doesn't mind that I'm a woman?" "Not at all." If anything, a female knight would be even better in many ways... Just thinking about Orton's knights made Rayshui feel unwell.

"Lord Rayshui doesn't mind that I eat a lot? In the morning, I ate two pieces of black bread." "Not at all. If you eat well, you'll have the strength to protect me." What's black bread!? Rayshui didn't care at all! He would never eat that hard, dead stuff in his life. "Lord Rayshui... doesn't mind..."

"Alright, you are my spear, you are my shield. I will love you and protect you like I would myself," Rayshui said seriously. "Yes, Lord Rayshui," Alice exhaled softly. Lord Rayshui was handsome, dashing, and had a heart that cared for his people. He was different from other nobles. Becoming Lord Rayshui's knight would be the best decision of her life. Lord Rayshui might even become the savior of this world.

"Let's go, let's go have lunch together.""Wait, Lord Rayshui, there is one more thing I haven't done for you yet." Alice's face showed a look of anxiety.

"What is it?"

"The oath to Lord Rayshui." A serious expression appeared on Alice's beautiful face.

"Hmm." Hearing Alice's words, Rayshui also showed a solemn expression.

A knight's oath is very sacred and solemn.

Rayshui must not slack off with Alice.

This also represents Alice's heartfelt intentions.

Alice knelt on one knee, her right hand clenched into a fist, and struck her heart. With a crisp and authoritative voice, she said:

"I, Alice, hereby swear in the name of a knight: from today onward, I shall become Lord Rayshui's knight! I will forever be loyal to Lord Rayshui. Your will shall be my sword! I shall eradicate all your enemies for you!"

Can you feel my sincerity?

Lord Rayshui.

Alice's golden hair was filled with majesty.

Her eyes became even more resolute at this moment.

It seemed as if she had found her faith to fight for.

If her previous demeanor had given Rayshui the impression of a child who called herself a knight, now Alice exuded the aura of a true knight to Rayshui.
