Chapter 345

While the chilly night in Yeringham was filled with silence and the howling

wind, Claudette realized she got off right where she wanted, finding herself in

a historical, vintage–looking street. Although the place was not as

grand–looking as the other high–end areas, the streets were decorated with

style and were considered the busiest streets in Yeringham.

“Princess Claudette!” An agitated yet soothing voice came from behind

Claudette as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked back. Then, she was

approached by a man in a windbreaker with a smiling face. “Your knight is

back to protect you!”

Claudette reacted with an awkward smile without saying a single word.

Magnus Zelinsky, who was part of a prestigious family in Zovince, was born

with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, the moment he met Claudette in

the army camp when they were little, he had sworn to be her knight since

then. At that time, Claudette didn’t take him seriously as she thought he was

being childish, only to be surprised years later when he still hadn’t forgotten

his promise.

As the duo walked along the street, they seemed like a couple who radiated

a charming aura, drawing the attention of those civilians around them. In

fact, they were even approached by some other civilians who wanted to take

a picture with them.

“Are you guys celebrities?”

“I think you guys look even more gorgeous and attractive than celebrities!”

The crowd flattered Claudette with compliments, but she only responded

with an emotionless look. After all, she didn’t enjoy being in the spotlight. On

the other hand, Magnus sensibly took a more friendly approach, presenting

himself as a chivalrous gentleman without turning them down meanly.

“They’re probably a couple.” It seemed to the bystanders that the duo looked

like a couple.

Nonetheless, Claudette didn’t think that way. As she strolled along the street

aimlessly, she was not in the mood to shop as she couldn’t stop looking

around her.

A few moments later, she began to frown when she noticed Magnus

following her silently without any intention of leaving. “You’re annoying!”

Despite Claudette’s mean response, Magnus wasn’t angry or disappointed.

“Well, I have heard that a lot, actually!” he said with a smile.

Claudette stood there and pouted, asking in frustration, “Why are you

following me like a bug? What do you want from me?”

“That’s what a knight should do–protect the princess,” Magnus replied

calmly. “Also, it’s a knight’s duty and honor to do that!”

She was filled with mixed emotions, not knowing whether she should feel

happy or annoyed. “Zovince’s Four Geniuses have always been considered

the most talented men in town. Thus, I can’t believe an outstanding young

man like you who has won so many international awards would say

something so cliche, considering your capabilities of building a nuclear bomb

prototype.”

“Your brother and I have always been friends!” He pointed at his own nose. “I

even got beaten to a pulp by him before. At that time, he just turned 12 three

days ago while I turned ten about ten days prior. Meanwhile, you were

wearing a pink dress and a pair of black shoes, coupled with a pair of white

stockings that day. When you saw me hurt, you came closer to me with a

white handkerchief to help me stop the bleeding.”

“Well, it looks like you live up to your reputation as the man with a brilliant

mind! You seem to remember every single detail.” Claudette let out a sigh.

“Well, a knight must have what it takes to be strong and invincible so that he

can protect the princess!” Magnus added, “In fact, I’ve been doing all I can to

improve my skill sets so that I can protect you again. After all, only a capable

knight deserves a smart, beautiful princess.”

“Me? Smart?” She pointed at herself, asking ambiguously, “Do you seriously

think I’m smart?” Deep down, she didn’t think she could match Mackenzie in

terms of intelligence. After all, both of them were around the same age, but

Mackenzie was already running a company by herself while she had to climb

the corporate ladder from the bottommost echelon.
