Roy continued to watch the Knights train...

"Wuuu …" Olivier's voice came from his side.

Royce had just turned his head when his shoulder was slapped. A brown-haired boy with a face full of freckles excitedly called out, "Royce."

By the time Roy and Tom had squeezed into the inner circle and sat down in front of the bard, the fat dog had jumped out from between them, taking the first place, grinning proudly.

"... "Although the annual Luria Province Martial Arts Competition is very lively, if one wishes to meet the most heroic figures in the world, one must first compete in the Imperial Knight Tournament three years from now."

Roy and Tom, who had just sat down on the floor, heard the bard's words as soon as they arrived. It turned out that the bard was talking to the merchants beside him about the competition between the Knights.

Of course, these things were more interesting to the boys than the story.

"An Imperial Knight battle?" A traveler said, "I remember. I heard that the martial arts competition that is scheduled for three years later is especially held for the sake of Princess Alicia. The champion would become the princess' husband. They say that the most outstanding young Knights of the royal families of the various countries and all the Knights have come to participate. "

The traveler's words immediately attracted a flurry of discussion from the surrounding people.

"Are you for real?"

"Isn't this the Groom Search Competition?"

Amidst the din, Tom nudged Royce and said excitedly, "Did you hear that?"

Roy's big head snapped.

Young knights wearing beautiful armor, riding fine horses and holding onto long spears gathered in the battling field. They were competing for the most beautiful princess of the Holy Thorn Empire, Alicia. This was a fatal temptation for two boys of fifteen or sixteen years old who were full of fantasy times.

The two boys' eyes lit up with excitement at the thought of being a knight one day, of being a champion, of winning the hearts of beautiful women in the midst of their cheers.

"That's right!" The minstrel nodded in confirmation of the traveler's words.

"To decide the fate of a princess by comparing martial arts is very similar to what those noblemen and lords have done. But I heard that Princess Alicia originally had a fiancé? " an aunt asked.

The bard smiled and said, "You're right. Originally, Princess Alicia had married her fiancé, the grandson of Duke Roland of Farrington, who had disappeared for more than ten years, Royce …"

The moment the white robed, long-bearded bard spoke up to here, the surrounding audiences all burst out into laughter, one by one they turned to look at the big-headed boy at the front of the circle.

"Hey, Master Roy, so you're Princess Alicia's fiancé." a man called playfully.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Royce, don't forget to promote us if you marry a princess."

"Bighead, hurry and find the princess. If you get married, you will become a noble lord. Not only do you not have to work, you can also eat delicious food."

"Roy, Princess Alicia is the number one beauty in our Holy Solan Empire. Stop listening to the story and hurry over. If you're late, someone else will snatch her away."

People joked about Roy.

Hearing people's teasing, the bard looked at Roy, who was also a country bumpkin. Shaking his head, he said with a smile, "The Duke of Farrington's [Hanshan] bloodline is not blue eyes."

The crowd laughed again.

The swordswoman on the outside gouged the boy with her big head. He seemed to be angry over why this silly little hick was also called Roy.

"We've heard of this marriage, but we don't understand why His Majesty would want to marry the Han Mountain family." A merchant leading a camel asked a question that was of interest to everyone.

Although the events of more than ten years ago shook the entire continent, there weren't many commoners who truly understood what was going on.

The Farrington Knight Regiment, which was stationed at the stronghold of the demon border, [Farrington], was also known as the Sinner Knight Regiment. The knights under him all had rare black hair and black eyes.

In human society, where gold hair and blue eyes were the most common, such people existed, but they were few and far in between.

It was said that when the demons had invaded, these dark, devil-like warriors had fought from their most eastern home all the way to the Broken Sky Mountain Range. Not only did they participate in all the battles between humans and demons, but every time they advanced, they would fight bravely, and every time they retreated, they would slaughter the enemies behind them. They were incomparably ferocious!

However, it was also them who had made a fatal mistake in the final battle more than three hundred years ago, resulting in the defeat of humanity. If it weren't for the Great Cross Cut Technique used by the Sage Emperor which allowed humans to migrate to the western part of the continent, perhaps humans would have long since been exterminated by the vicious demons.

It was from that time on that the Cross became the symbol of a future unified religion, and the Knights of Farrington and their then leader, the Duke of Hanshan, Luo Zhan became the sinners of the human race and were ordered to guard Farrington Fortress permanently on the border with the demons.

This defense lasted for three hundred years. The Land of Redemption had gone through a race war, with the various dukes engaged in a chaotic war. It was a united Roman Empire. If they were to split it into three factions, it could be said that the world had changed. As for Farrington, he was still the same as before.

Generation after generation of the Farrington Cavalry, carrying the destiny of waging a never-ending war with the demons on the borders of the land of the Humans and Demons. No one would provoke them, and they could not step into human society.

Although in terms of geographical location and reputation, Farrington was in fact a saint. In a province of the Solan Empire. In fact, Farrington was a complete stranger to the people of San Soros.

It was also because of this that the citizens could not understand why the former prince, who was also the current emperor of the empire, [Edward] had married the Duke of Hanshan family despite not participating in the mundane power struggle.

He rolled on the floor, begging for a recommendation vote!
