Under the leadership of the captain of the knights, Bexia smoothly entered the Lord's Mansion. Of course, ordinary people would never be allowed in, even strong individuals wouldn't be able to enter either. After all, the Lord's Mansion belonged to the important location of Alliance City, where important figures resided. If anything went wrong, the losses would be significant.
However, the captain of the knights knew about Bexia's other identity. At least as a disciple of Bor, it was enough for him to enter. Bor was currently resting in the Lord's Mansion, and the captain had even witnessed the intimacy between Princess and him. It was highly likely that he would be the future husband of the princess.
The captain of the knights learned about Bexia's purpose and informed him that Captain Kono was not here, but had led a team to clean up the area outside the city. However, Bor was in the Lord's Mansion, so without further ado, the captain took Bexia to see his teacher.
The debating hall in the Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and there were constant disputes and discussions. It seemed that they were deliberating something, trying to come up with a reasonable allocation.
"The dignitaries are holding a meeting..."
"Then we'll wait here for a while!" Bexia could tell that the captain of the knights was feeling awkward. After all, although he had a fairly high status, he was not on the same level as those inside.
The voices in the debating hall gradually became more heated. Bexia could hear that most of the arguments came from two people: Bor and Benjamin, the Lightning King of the Yaro Kingdom. These two were old rivals.
"Bor and the others have started arguing again, it's probably going to be hard for them to calm down!" sighed the captain of the knights helplessly.
"I heard they've always been at odds with each other!"
"That's true. That's why it's difficult. Other people can't say anything. Both of them have fiery tempers and strong abilities. Trying to mediate with them is almost useless!"
"If Lord Loya were here..." the captain of the knights said with a sigh.
"Can Champion Loya really keep them both in check?" Bexia asked curiously. He didn't expect Champion Loya to be so formidable. However, the captain of the knights then clarified Bexia's misunderstanding.
"Lord Bexia should know that both Lord Bor and Lord Benjamin have never taken a wife, right?"
"I have heard about it!" Bexia nodded. He didn't know about Benjamin, but he knew that Bor had remained single his whole life.
"The reason why both of them have remained single is possibly still related to Champion Loya?" Bexia's gossip side was ignited. He really didn't know about this.
"When they were young, both of them pursued Champion Loya, but neither of them succeeded. However, for some reason, Champion Loya has also never married. So both of them have always believed that they still have a chance, and as a demonstration of their determination, they have sworn not to marry anyone other than Champion Loya!"
"Is that true? Two old men simultaneously interested in one young lady?" Bexia thought about the vast difference in appearance between the three of them. Champion Loya was only about thirty years old, which meant she could flirt with younger men without any problem. On the other hand, Bor had a full beard, and Benjamin had white hair. The difference was too great.
"Champion's lifespan is longer than normal, and it is said that Anzu possesses a secret technique for maintaining her youthful appearance, which allows her skin to remain lively for a long time. That's why she doesn't look old. However, our three lords are definitely contemporaries!" explained the captain of the knights.
"Lord Luoya has been stationed at Dark Border for a long time. The other two lords also like to come to Dark Border, even though they claim it's to investigate the situation there. Everyone knows they're actually here to pick up girls, but we just don't say it out loud."
"And Lord Luoya has been annoyed by the two lords. He often avoids them..." The captain of the knights whispered gossip to Bexia, but suddenly a voice startled him, making his whole body shudder.
"Why am I avoiding?"
"Lord... Lord Luoya!" The knight captain, feeling guilty for gossiping about a champion, didn't dare to look at Luoya. His legs were still trembling, anticipating the consequences he might face next.
"Go down! If you spread gossip again next time, I will deal with you according to military law!"
"Yes!" The knight captain didn't dare to stay any longer and disappeared in a smoke, fearing that Luoya might change his mind. He would probably hide for a while.
"Your name is Bexia, isn't it?" Luoya's gaze was fixed on Bexia. The reason why she didn't trouble the knight captain was mainly because she saw Bexia.
"Yes! Hello, Champion Luoya!" It's always respectful to behave properly in front of a champion.
"The things in Princess Ophelia's hands were given by you, right? And you got them from Anzu, didn't you?"
"Uh..." Bexia was taken aback for a moment, but in a flash, she realized there was no possibility of hiding the fact. The blood-colored dragon summoned by the Dragon Command could only come from Anzu. It wasn't strange at all for Champion Luoya to ask such a question.
"I wouldn't steal your stuff. I was just curious about how you obtained that powerful treasure. I had a strange feeling before, but I only became certain when I saw the dragon Princess Ophelia summoned!"
"I obtained it from the Trail Land in the Dragon God's Space!" Bexia answered truthfully.
"Oh! You are an Anzu person then?"
"No."
"Then how did you enter the Trail Land?"
"I was thrown in by a man who called himself the First Generation Dragon God High Priest." Bexia still harbored some resentment towards this incident.
"Hmm... Wait! What did you say? The First Generation Dragon God High Priest?!" Champion Luoya suddenly exclaimed, catching the attention of everyone in the council chamber. Benjamin, the Thunder King, was the first to come out, even faster than the wind.
"I've been looking for you, Luoya..." However, before he could finish his words, he was abruptly interrupted.
"Shut up!" Luoya turned his head and stared at him, making this hot-tempered Thunder Champion obediently close his mouth.
Luoya's sudden outburst left everyone stunned, including Bexia. It seemed that he underestimated the importance of the Ancient Dragon God High Priest to the Anzu people, and he hadn't even realized the severity of the problem himself.
Luoya's explosive reaction caused others in the council chamber to come out as well, sensing that something was amiss. Luoya grabbed Bexia's shoulder with one hand and used the power of a champion to soar into the air, leaving behind the words, "I have something to ask this little guy. Bor, lend me your disciple for a while!"
"What happened? Bexia...Ophelia saw Bexia being taken away by the champion of Luoya and looked around in confusion, not knowing why Bexia would be taken away.
As for danger, Ophelia wasn't worried. She knew the Luoya champion quite well after all. There were few women in Dark Border to begin with, and even fewer of high status. So Ophelia and Luoya had a good relationship, even close in private. Naturally, she knew some things.
"Let's ask that guy when he comes back. I really don't understand why Luoya would want him," Bor frowned, equally puzzled. After all, there seemed to be no connection between Bexia and Luoya."
