I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

"Teacher, why did you suddenly think of coming to the royal capital, I haven't seen you for four years."

In the tavern opposite the inn, the black-robed girl blinked her big eyes and stared at the Sakuraba Thousand Cranes in front of her with curiosity.

"Don't talk about me yet, your Holy Wood Knights have returned from a great victory in this crusade against the Demon King Army, I should congratulate you."

Chizuru smiled faintly, and then raised her glass to the girl in front of her.

"Oops... It was all done well by my father, and I followed it to see it for a long time. The

girl picked up the glass in front of her and respectfully clinked glasses with Chizuru in front of her.

"Don't be modest, I've heard of it, Christine, the blade queen of the Holy Wood Knights, you are young, but you have a very old name."

Chizuru smiled, not stingy with his compliments.

"Hee-hee... It's all taught by the teacher. When

the girl heard this, she scratched her head a little embarrassed.

If there is someone who knows the identity of the girl here at this time, I am afraid that I will be shocked by her actions.

Kristen. Hilton, the pillar of the Loongson Kingdom - Vins. The only daughter of the Duke of Hilton.

The current Dragon Core Kingdom Protector Legion, the Knights of the Holy Wood Knights, has an official rank equivalent to that of an earl.

And her age... Just 19 years old.

This achievement is terrifying for a girl her age.

You must know that the title established by virtue of military exploits and the title inherited by family hereditary inheritance are not the same concept.

Christine has been in the military all year round since she was sensible, so the masculinity revealed in her gestures seems extremely natural to her.

Not only that, Christine herself is also a swordsmanship genius that is rare in the kingdom for a hundred years.

Even her father, who had always been known for his harshness, had to praise his daughter's talent.

By the time Christine was seven years old, she was able to use the agility of a child's body to engage in sword duels with three battle-hardened knights.

In the end, it was Christine who won at the cost of a minor injury.

After that, her life was like being born to wield a sword.

When she picks up the sword, no matter who her opponent is, she has the confidence to fight with it.

Until she ran into Chizuru Sakurabi.

The moment the Ichimo Boy Pill was unsheathed, Christine knew that the person in front of her was the top of the mountain that she would never touch for the rest of her life.

After that, she said goodbye to her family and trekked through mountains and rivers just to find the whereabouts of Sakuraba Chizuru and worship her as a teacher.

During this period, Chizuru also avoided her because she hated getting along with people.

It wasn't until later that the girl accidentally fell into an A-level maze because she was looking for Chizuru, and her life and death were uncertain, and Chizuru, who couldn't stand it, was forced to pull out a knife and save her.

Even now, Christine remembers it well.

With just one stab, the labyrinth was completely cut off.

That's right, it's not the Guardian who is cut off, it's the labyrinth itself.

Chizuru's knife directly destroyed a naturally formed A-class labyrinth, dividing the mountains stacked in two.

All the monsters hiding in it turned into a blood mist that exploded in an instant.

Since then, Chizuru has also accepted this student.

Chizuru is not very good at teaching others, but Christine is smart.

Although many times, Chizuru's words seem ambiguous, but Christine can always extract the message that Chizuru wants to express.

The fate between the two came to an abrupt end until one day when Chizuru left a letterhead and left.

And Christine, who returned to the country, climbed all the way to the position of pioneer officer in just three months.

Since then, she has never received a message from Chizuru.

And this difference is four years.

Until yesterday, after their knights conquered the Demon King Army in the north of the kingdom, Christine on the way back received a contact message from Chizuru.

Knowing that she had come to the royal capital, Christine left the team directly and quickly returned to the royal capital first.

Finally, she was able to see this longing face.

"Teacher... May I ask why you left in the first place?

Christine, who was slightly drunk, put down her wine glass and asked according to her thoughts.

"Hehe..."

Chizuru just smiled silently, not answering Christine's words.

She spun the wine glass in her hand, thinking back to what had happened that day.

That day, she received a message from Emma.

The content of the message is simple, just seven words.

"The king will return, prepare for war, and wait to return."

She knew what the connection meant.

From that day on, Sakuraba Chizuru sealed herself in the labyrinth, and spent her days hunting high-level guardians as her training standard.

She was waiting, waiting for the day when her king would return.

She's been waiting too long.

Now she sees the glimmer of hope, and for that, she knows she has to get stronger.

"There's someone who's important to me back, and I'm going to see him."

Chizuru looked at the wine in the glass and said softly.

At this time, Christine looked at her teacher's face with a shocked face.

She even wondered now if she was drunk and delusional.

Christine had never seen such an expression on Chizuru Sakuraba's face.

Is this still the decisive teacher in his own house?

Isn't this exactly a little girl in love!

"Who is it?"

Regardless of her image, Christine slapped the table and stood up.

She had never been in love, so naturally she couldn't understand Chizuru's thoughts.

All she wanted now was to find the man and have a samurai duel with him.

"You're still young, it's normal not to understand this feeling, and in the days to come, you will always meet a few existences that can make you risk your life."

Chizuru said with a smile and shook her head.

“...... Teacher, why are you the same as my father, he is also talking about me all day long, and he will not find a suitable partner in the future... Do girls have to get married, teacher?

Christine lay on the table a little depressed, apparently bothered by the incident.

originally thought that her teacher would be a model for women, but seeing Chizuru's appearance today, Christine suddenly felt disillusioned with the thoughts in her heart.

"Not necessarily."

Chizuru held her head and chuckled softly.

"I can't tell... However, when you meet the right person, you should be able to understand.

Just as Christine continued to be depressed, the knight outside the door suddenly pushed open the door and walked up to her, bowed his head and whispered a few words in her ear.

And Christine's face instantly became gloomy when she heard those words.

"If you have something, do it, and there will be a chance to meet in the future."

Chizuru saw the change in Christine's expression, so she didn't say anything more, but waved her hand to signal that she could leave if she wanted to.

"Sorry, the student will come to visit the teacher later."

Christine stood up and bowed, then grabbed the sword at her waist and strode out of the tavern.

"Is this true?"

As she walked out the door, Christine rolled over and turned to the knight next to her and asked in a cold voice.

"True, someone sneaked into your room tonight, and we don't know what that person's purpose was, but he left this."

With that, the knight took out a gorgeous amethyst necklace from his hand, which looked like a girl's ornament.

“...... Find out the people. Christine

put on her helmet, and through the gap in the mask, she could see her blue pupils, which were full of deep killing intent.
