Three young squire knights immediately turned pale upon hearing the news.
Torres couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile and lowered his voice to Irelia at his side.
"The families behind these three are not simple. The youngest is even the grandson of the Imperial Minister 'Wise Man' Edmond... When faced with provocation, we must certainly retaliate, but it's best not to offend them too harshly."
"Sadly, that's not for me to decide. Uncle, can't you see they're specifically here for me today?" the lady said.
Torres fell silent upon hearing this, fully aware that the three freckles came with ill intentions, and not just them.
Ever since Her Majesty had appointed Irelia as a Dragon Slayer Knight, the Royal Knight Order had many squire knights who looked unfavorably upon the lady.
After all, like Torres, many were only a step away from becoming Royal Knights, yet they had been stuck at the final sword-giving ceremony for a long time.
