Chapter 26: Sleeping Beauty
Watching Lette leave with the other guy, arm in arm, Emily looked bewildered. She whispered to the disciplinary black knight beside her.
"Excuse me, who was that brawny Holy Knight just now?"
"Miss Emily, watch your words. That was the Apprentice Saint, His Highness Saint Taylor! Since Lord Lette left, he's been almost the leader of the younger generation in the Holy Knight Order."
"So why does he call Lette his brother-in-law..."
The disciplinary black knight hesitated a bit before lowering his voice.
"That's because His Highness Saint Taylor's sister is the renowned Apprentice Saintess, Her Highness Saint Joanna. For many years, Her Highness Joanna has been infatuated with Lord Lette, and everyone thinks they're a perfect match..."
At this moment, Lette pulled Taylor into a secluded corner, and Taylor gave him a big bear hug.
"Boss, you're finally back."
"Alright, alright... let me ask you, did your sister really die from assassination?"
Taylor slapped his chest and said resolutely, "Dead! Absolutely! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Hiss... judging by your expression, you don't look like you saw it with your own eyes, but more like you did it yourself!"
