Chapter 62: A Quarrel of Two Escorts
The knight stood fixed in his position as he heard the words coming from the knightess, eyes glaring at her intensely.
"What do you mean, engaged? Was she engaged with anyone before?" he asked her.
"Not was... is engaged! She’s engaged to someone from Sabel Island! She would’ve been married to him by now if it wasn’t for the incident!" Clara yelled back at him.
"What incident? It doesn’t matter anymore if she was or is engaged to anyone! It’s irrelevant now! She’s married to my lord! So, any previous engagement is automatically annulled!" he countered.
Clara was about to argue further when the screams of the eagles rendered the air once again.
"Someone’s coming. Quick! Hide!" warned the knightess as she struggled to stand up.
Seeing her hassle, Noah promptly approached, lifting her onto his shoulder and urging Emily to lead the way. The young woman’s eyes widened at the sudden action as the knightess protested.
"What the h*ll?! Put me down immediately!" Clara shouted.
"You are too slow! Lead the way fast, little girl! I need to cover the traces! Hurry up!" urged Noah to Emily.
Clara squirmed and resisted, which annoyed the knight. He then spanked her, which made her face turn red with embarrassment. Emily, on the other hand, looked puzzled.
"What are you waiting for? Let’s go!" the knight barked at her.
