Chapter 533 Gathering Of Ex-Members

Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a mysterious man that was strong enough to block the attack of two knights, one of which was White Lily.

"Let's go. Your brother has been waiting too long already. We must not keep him waiting any longer." Lucian said in a calm voice.

"All right." Cecilia took a step back as she returned the sword to its sheath.

'Huh, she was in mortal combat a second ago, but her desire to fight completely disappeared after this man appeared.' Wain muttered inwardly while soaring over the arena.

'Hey! You bastard! Do you really think you can interfere in my fight with impunity?" White Lily exclaimed with an angry look.

"Well, the boss warned me that some annoying kid showed up among the Royal Blades. That's a problem." Lucian shook his head as he turned to White Lily.

Whooooooooosh.

'',

He grabbed her arm, moved her toward him, and slammed his palm into her stomach. It all happened too fast for White Lily to notice a single movement, so the impact tossed her aside as she gushed out a mouthful of blood.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Lucian paced slowly toward her while adjusting his hair, so it didn't cover his face. He leaned over While Lily that looked at him with hatred and said, "You know, I don't like to be rude to women, so as an apology, I'm asking you out."

"What...?!" White Lily exclaimed with a shocked look.

"What nonsense is he saying...?!" Knights exclaimed.

"Did he just ask her on a date?!"

"What's going on here?!"

The White Lily Knights had to be constantly surprised as events constantly took unexpected turns, so many no longer understood how it all came to this.

"You seem to agree. Then tonight, at a restaurant near the main square and dress nice somehow, the armor on you looks too bulky." Lucian said in a calm voice with a slight smile on his face.

"No... I didn't agree!" White Lily exclaimed.

'',

"It's too late to change your answer." Lucia shook his finger from side to side as he turned around, "You are the youngest of the Royal Blades, so you must understand that there is a considerable gap between the major Knight Families. Some are stronger, some are weaker, that's normal. My point is that the imbalance can be so great that the second knight of the House of the Bloody Rose is actually stronger than most of the Royal Blades."

"Ah... Isn't she the second knight of the House of the Bloody Rose?" White Lilly asked with a confused look while looking at Cecilia.

"Well, she is, but it couldn't be otherwise, because, officially, there have only been two knights in the House of the Bloody Rose in the last few months. Okay, enough talk. You and I will have more time, this evening." Lucian gestured goodbye as he turned into a shadow that disappeared with Cecilia.

"Evening...? But..." White Lily muttered while in confusion.

...

"Lucian, do you really like her?" Cecilia asked while being in Lucian's arms.

"Yeah, why not? Isn't she cute?" Lucian said with a smile on his face as he jumped from one house to another.

"Are you aware that hitting a girl and then asking her out is not very logical?"

"You think so?" Lucian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Well, I couldn't let her think she was more important than the House of Bloody Rose, and anyway, the most important thing is the result, everything else is just a resource to get things done."

"You have too much confidence in your looks and charisma." Cecilia waved her hand as she turned away.

"Hmm, I'm entitled to it, so why shouldn't I use my talents?" Lucian muttered before putting Cecilia on the ground as they arrived at the House of the Bloody Rose.

Lucian with Cecilia went inside. In the main hall, the Knight of the Bloody Rose sat at a table, but there were two others.

A girl with short blond hair stood in the aisle while she tossed up a red apple with a thoughtful gaze. Behind the Knight of the Bloody Rose stood a very tall bald man with a serious look, he was like a real mountain that could protect against any threat.

Next to the Knight of the Bloody Rose, several prickly roses wriggled like snakes since his aura was like a wild beast that could lose control at any moment.

"Boss! We're here!" Lucian stepped inside with a smile on his face as he waved.

The Knight of the Bloody Rose looked at them, sighed, and said, "You're too late. Given your speed, you should have been back minutes ago."

"Well, I had to be distracted by something, but does it matter?" Lucian took a seat at the table, "Now all the Knights of the House of the Bloody Rose are here, isn't that wonderful?"

"Lucian, you're too chatty as usual." The girl muttered while not taking her eyes off the apple.

"Meria, you're still the same nerd. It's been so long, but you haven't changed." Lucian looked at her.

"I just want to sleep..." Meria said in a sleepy voice, "I didn't expect to have to go out tonight... Damn, my bed felt so good..."

"Enough talk." Knight of the Bloody Rose raised his hand, "Cecilia, I called you here for two reasons."

Knight of the Bloody Rose continued, "First, we discovered the Dark Lizards at the eastern gate, so before we start a major war, we are going to deal with them. Second, I want to give you this."

The Knight of the Bloody Rose placed a coin on the table with the image of a jaw that radiated a strange, unmistakable aura.

"What is it?" Cecilia asked with a puzzled look.

"It's your strongest trump card now. Use it when it gets too dangerous."

"Brother, I can stand up for myself, there's no need for that!"

"Don't argue." Knight of the Bloody Rose said in a stern voice, "You are strong, but you are the weakest of us. Dark Lizards are dangerous opponents as they are the ones who have taken my dearest possession, so I cannot lose more of you or any of you."
