Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 175 And I, took over the sword

Cyril walked into the tavern, and before he went up the stairs, a figure slid down the handrail of the stairs, bumped into his arms firmly, and wrapped his arms around his neck:
"Cyril, you're back!"

Cyril lowered his head, looked at the soft white hair that was caressing under his chin, and said gently: "I just went out for a stroll to see if there is anything to eat, here, didn't I bring it back for you? The sycamore cake is a specialty of Langjin Town."

As he spoke, he took out a golden pancake shaped like a sycamore leaf from his arms.He bought this on the way back to the tavern. The flatbread was baked crispy and fragrant, with a lot of white sesame seeds sprinkled on it, but it was hit by Caroline, and the middle was a little broken.

But Caroline didn't take the food immediately as usual, but sniffed at him like a puppy, suddenly she raised her head, her proud little nose pointed at Cyril, her eyes seemed to discover Like a blind spot, twinkle and twinkle:
"Cyril, I smell it, you smell like another woman!"

"Hey, hey, what is the smell of other women... Where did you learn this kind of talk?"

"Hee hee, I can smell it, it's a gray smell~"

Cyril took Caroline off his body and stuffed the pie to her. He was surprised by Caroline's sensitivity—he didn't think Caroline could smell anything strange, but he did have a relationship with Belin. Da and Nirola have been in close contact to a certain extent.

When he raised his head again, he saw Heloise standing at the stairs and looking down, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

Cyril immediately understood that it turned out that Caroline secretly read the novels that Heloise often read, and probably learned it from the novels—but it’s fine if the captain of the guard beside the princess likes to read novels, What kind of weird book is this reading?
He was thinking wildly in his heart, but there was no clue on his face. He went straight up the stairs, nodded slightly to Heloise and said, "Your Excellency Treville, I would like to ask about the Baron of Sinai in Langjin Town things."

"Baron Sinai?" Heloise thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I've never seen it before, maybe it's because of him, just a baron?"

Cyril was stunned, who would have thought that a baron who was peacefully shrinking in a small town in a province to develop tourism would be related to a big cult in the future?
He also hoped that the people around the princess would know about the baron, but the baron was too insignificant, without some background in the capital, and the distance from the princess was too far away.

Regarding the actions of the Gray God Cult, he didn't want to show that they did it deliberately, how blatantly... It is a problem to attack a baron of a kingdom justifiably.

Don't forget that Heloise is still the eyes of the princess.In fact, he could use the existence of the baby stealer to pull Heloise into this battle, but Nirola's power from the "original heart of the world" was beyond his ability to explain.

He was torn in his heart, but the conversation with Heloise wasn't over yet.The latter was staring at him, wondering why the young man would suddenly mention the name of an unknown baron, so he simply asked this question.

"You know the Baron?"

"I don't know." Cyril shook his head and said, "I'm just curious."

"curious?"

"I passed by the government affairs hall before, and the sentry told me that there is a baron in Langjin Town who promotes the development of Langjin Town by himself. He also invited bards to make some interesting stories, such as a couple with their children. Dance, you can get the favor of the goddess of wealth."

Cyril spoke slowly in a leisurely tone that had nothing to do with him.

"So I went to find out more. The gentleman who sold the cake told me that there was a traveler who bought the cake. He left the town for a few days and returned, saying that his child disappeared on the road outside. -Treville Your Excellency, do you think this has something to do with the baby stealer?"

Heloise looked at him calmly, and said after a while: "Are you reasoning?"

"No, I'm just thinking about it. So I went to the baron's manor just now to have a look, ah, it's such a big manor, it's gloomy and dark inside, and those guard posts seem to be unable to sleep well , always feel a little strange."

Seeing that Heloise was gradually falling into deep thought, Cyril struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"I think there should always be a common purpose for so many baby-stealing acts of Bandis. If they are not dealt with in time, for La Rochelle, it will be breeding tigers."

He paused for a while, and then continued: "In short, I plan to go to the baron tomorrow to have a look. It would be great if I can solve the baby stealer's matter."

After he finished speaking, Heloise nodded to him: "I will go with you."

"Thank you so much." Cyril took a long breath in his heart. Although the guards around the princess hadn't made a formal attack yet, they should have the highest combat effectiveness in this small team.With her here, even if the baron sensed that he was related to the masked man who sneaked into the manor yesterday, he could retreat safely.

But before Heloise finished speaking, just as Cyril was about to turn around, her voice sounded again:

"But I want to know why you do this."

"What?" Cyril turned around, and saw the serious and serious expression on the outstanding and cold half-elf face:
"Do you want to be like those moths, enjoying the rights of nobility but not taking responsibility?"

Cyril was taken aback.

He never expected that Heloise would throw out such a sentence at this moment.He understands that he has successfully left Heloise with a clear image of "showing more in front of the princess in exchange for the title".

But he didn't expect the second half of the sentence mentioned by Heloise:
Enjoy the rights of nobility without the responsibilities.

This is the true portrayal of the vast majority of nobles in La Rochelle today——

Cyril clearly knows that if it is placed in the game, this is a time to make an option and decide on the future development route.But his line is actually very clear, there is no possibility of a bad ending in this question, so what he has to consider is how to get a higher "favorability" in front of Heloise.

He turned sideways and looked towards the north, where he came from.Then he untied the sword at his waist and held it together with the sheath in his hand.

Heloise watched his movements in puzzlement until he spoke softly:

"Captain Jane Christine said something."

"The next ten years will be the most difficult days for La Rochelle. I don't know where her evidence comes from, but I think she is right."

"She handed out the sword."

As Cyril said, he raised the sword with one hand, and slowly grasped the hilt with the other hand.

"And I, took the sword."

The silver light was like water, and as he pulled it out, it splashed on the twisted wooden steps. The rippling water light seemed to cover most of the territory of La Rochelle from north to south. In the light of water.

The young man held the sword flat in front of his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he handed out the sword, pointing to the north, and drew an arc.

If the horn is sounding, the wind is hunting the king under the banner.

He opened his eyes again, and when he retracted the sword, he saw Heloise's fingers intertwined, her head slightly lowered, and her forehead resting on her interlaced five fingers. After a while, she raised her head and said in a low voice:

"I understand."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, flicked her sleeves, and drifted away.Cyril's heart thumped inexplicably, and he felt something was wrong:

Heloise's expression seemed to be too high for her "favorability degree"?
