"Sir, our patrol team discovered an uninvited group 5km outside of Albon Village. They are a well-equipped and powerful cavalry force."
The leader was a woman with long pink hair, who was probably between sixteen and eighteen years old.
They are now on the verge of conflict with us due to this sudden encounter, and Lord Havaha has sent me back to consult your opinion!
The Royal Knight of Ruidian finished reporting all the intelligence in one breath, then looked at Liu Tianyu with his eyes hidden under his helmet, ready to obey his orders.
"Ha, I'm finally here! I've been here for a week, and I feel like the flowers are about to wither!"
After listening to the report from the Royal Knights of Ruidian, Liu Tianyu's lips curled up slightly.
"Quick, take me there! I want to personally confront these uninvited guests!"
After saying that, Liu Tianyu jumped directly in front of the plate-armored warhorse of the Royal Knights of Ruidian.
The Royal Knight of Ruidian said nothing, but simply pulled on the reins and quickly led Liu Tianyu to the scene of the standoff.
Outside the village of Albon, opposite the patrol led by Akavi, stood a hundred heavily armed knights, whose numbers far exceeded theirs, facing off against them.
Even though the opposing side had a numerical advantage, they still dared not make any rash moves.
Leading the group was a pink-haired girl with a full figure, wearing a white patterned short dress, a mage's robe, white stockings over her voluptuous and powerful legs, and lace-up boots, revealing her "absolute territory" (area of skin).
The pink-haired girl looked at Akavi with a saintly smile, but in her heart she was already cursing.
"What on earth is going on? How could such an elite knight force exist in a poor and backward village? And whose coat of arms is that banner they're raising? I've never seen it before!"
Espionage? Intrusion? Rebellion? What are those idiots in the security department even doing?!
"Your Highness, my advice is not to act rashly. Although the enemy has half the number of us, each of them is just as strong as us."
Especially those knights who were completely covered up and gleaming; even my subjects were not confident of defeating them.
As the pink-haired girl, and the captain of the royal guard of Freya, the first princess of the Kingdom of Geolar, Leonard spoke cautiously.
"Can't I see that? You guys are all utterly useless!"
Freya mentally gave Leonard and the Royal Guard a good dressing down, then spoke to Akavi in an incredibly gentle tone:
"Fellow elders and folks of Albon, I am the first princess of the Kingdom of Geolar, the hero of magic, Freya Elgrandi Geolar."
I have come to this village today with no ill intentions, but simply to welcome the newborn hero. After all, you are all my people, so how could I possibly harbor any malice?
Freya's voice is very pleasant; it seems to calm people down as soon as they hear it.
The tense atmosphere eased somewhat due to Freya's initiative in showing goodwill.
"The princess of the Kingdom of Geolar? It seems the person the Marquis is looking for has finally appeared. Princess Freya, please wait a moment. I have already sent someone to invite the Marquis over. Please excuse me until he arrives!"
Upon hearing Freya's self-introduction and the goodwill she showed, Akavi put away his tightly gripped sword and shield, then gave a knightly salute on horseback, looking completely businesslike.
"Marquis? Aren't the highest-ranking nobles around here only viscounts? Where would a marquis come from? And what noble would allow himself to live in such a remote and impoverished place!"
Upon hearing Akavi's explanation, Freya remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was furiously criticizing him.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Freya was pondering something, the sound of heavy hooves in the distance quickly interrupted her thoughts.
"Is that Princess Freya Elgranti Gioral, the First Princess of the Kingdom of Gioral and the Hero of Magic?"
As soon as Liu Tianyu arrived, he shouted directly at the pink-haired guy opposite him.
After shouting, his eyes couldn't help but start to scrutinize Freya not far away. If judged solely on appearance, Freya was undoubtedly a stunning beauty who could be rated 98 points.
She had long, flowing pink hair, emerald-green eyes, a G-level Balkan mountain-like face, an angelic and pure complexion, and long, perfect legs in white stockings that were enough to make anyone want to admire them for years.
Wow, she's only 16 years old, and she's already so devastatingly beautiful. Once she's fully grown up, the phrase "a femme fatale" will probably be used to describe her!
Looking further down, she saw that the mount she was riding was a magical beast with pink mane, white body, and a single blue horn.
If someone unfamiliar with the subject saw this, they would definitely mistakenly think that Freya was riding a unicorn.
That's not actually the case. After all, unicorns are super magical beasts capable of briefly fighting against young dragons, and they are constantly surrounded by a visible magical aura.
The horse she was riding had no magical aura whatsoever; at best, it was just a unicorn cosplaying as a unicorn!
However, it must be said that if you only look at the surface, with the help of Xiangma Meiren, Freya is indeed a perfect beautiful girl. But unfortunately, she is all show and no substance!
On the surface, Freya appears to be perfect, but deep down she is a sadist who despises everything.
But it's alright. Now that we've met, Liu Tianyu will definitely correct her twisted personality in the future and guide her onto the right path! (Close-up shot with unclear meaning)
"I am, who are you?"
Freya looked at Liu Tianyu, who had dismounted from his horse and was dressed in the robes of a marquis bestowed by the emperor, with a puzzled expression.
She was certain she had never met Liu Tianyu before, so why would Liu Tianyu know her?
"Of course, Your Highness Freya, your reputation is renowned even throughout the kingdom."
Liu Tianyu performed a perfect aristocratic bow and explained.
"Kingdom? I see. Aren't you from the Kingdom of Geolar? In that case, could you please state your identities and purpose?"
Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's explanation, Freya's saintly smile faded, and she asked earnestly.
"There's no need for such vigilance, Your Highness Freya. I am Liu Tianyu, the Marquis of Storms from the Kingdom. I have received orders from my King to visit the Kingdom of Geolar as a special envoy of the Kingdom."
I don't know if there was a problem with our country's teleportation array or a flaw in your country's teleportation array, which is why my troops and I did not arrive at the royal city of Geolar, but instead arrived at your country's village.
After arriving at your village, I only intended to ask for directions before heading to the royal city of Geolar. However, I never expected that a once-in-a-century hero would appear in your village.
Therefore, I deduced that your country would definitely come to search for the hero, so I waited here in vain. I hope Your Highness Freya will forgive me!
These are documents signed and sealed by our Holy King, along with my noble coat of arms and my marquis's seal; these should be sufficient proof of my identity.
Seeing Freya's serious expression, Liu Tianyu explained for a long time before taking out a magical letter and a Black Phoenix Badge from his inventory and handing them to Freya.
Seeing Liu Tianyu approaching Freya, Captain Leonard of the Royal Guard immediately took the initiative to try to stop him.
"Reinard, bring Lord Stormwind over here! Rest assured, Lord Stormwind's noble bearing and impeccable aristocratic manners are not something any conman can imitate!"
"Freya said softly."
Leonard glanced back at Freya cautiously, and after confirming Freya's look, he had no choice but to obediently do as she said and step aside.
"Ah!"
Liu Tianyu simply returned a meaningful smile to Leonard, leaving Leonard's shrunken brain feeling utterly bewildered.
"The seal on this document is indeed that of the King of the Kingdom, and the material of this noble's badge and marquis's seal is also quite rare; it couldn't possibly be fake! Add to that the exceptionally capable personal guards around you..."
"Hehe, Lord Stormlord, welcome to the Kingdom of Geolar!"
After receiving the documents, noble badge, and marquis seal from Liu Tianyu, which proved his identity, Freya checked them repeatedly before a heartwarming smile appeared on her angelic face.
"No, Your Highness Freya, please forgive my rudeness. After all, my subordinates did not know your identity at first, so they may have offended you."
At this moment, Liu Tianyu also showed a humble smile and said apologetic words.
"Hmph, it's good that you know. Then hurry up and bow your head and apologize to our Princess Freya!"
Upon seeing Liu Tianyu's cowardly appearance, Leonard immediately seized the opportunity and shouted loudly.
“Reinard! Lord Storm Marquis himself said it was just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, everything is naturally fine!”
Seeing Leonard's arrogant demeanor, Freya scolded him with "dissatisfaction".
"Yes, it was my overstepping of my bounds, I am extremely sorry, Your Highness Freya!"
Upon hearing Freya's rebuke, Leonard immediately responded with feigned trepidation.
Watching the two men playing good cop and bad cop, Liu Tianyu's lips twitched slightly. He memorized their expressions, but outwardly remained calm and said:
"Your Highness Freya, you must have come to Albon Village to find a hero like yourself!"
"Perfect timing. I've been staying in this village for a while and know who the hero is. Let me take you there. Then, I'll ask that you allow me to accompany your party to meet King Geolar."
"Lord Stormwind, I am truly grateful! You will be a guest of my father, and it is my duty to introduce you to him. Please rest assured!"
Freya smiled knowingly and nodded.
Liu Tianyu nodded noncommittally, then told the Royal Knight of Ruidian to dismount and let him ride back on his mount to pick up Keyar, who was currently doing something unknown.
Chapter 117 Sugar-Coated Bullets
"Strange? Why did the master suddenly bring so many people back?"
"Yes! Especially that girl in the lead, she's so beautiful and elegant! Could she be the master's wife?"
After Liu Tianyu brought Freya back to the village, the soldiers who were helping the villagers with farm work put down their work and picked up their weapons to stand guard around Liu Tianyu.
Upon seeing the soldiers' movements, the villagers put down their farm work and began to scrutinize the new faces entering the village.
"Fellow villagers of Albon Village, I am the first princess of the Kingdom of Geolar, the Hero of Magic, Freya Elgrandi Geolar. I have come to your village to find fellow heroes like myself!"
Looking at the villagers dressed in coarse clothes who were watching her, Freya felt a deep sense of disgust.
However, she revealed a saintly smile on her face, and her demeanor was exceptionally elegant. In any case, her movements were much more skillful than those of Liu Tianyu, who was originally a low-ranking noble.
"Princess Freya has come to our village? Really?"
"Speaking of which, not only is the princess a hero, but a hero has also been born in our village?"
Seeing Freya's perfect smile and elegant demeanor, the villagers, who had been doubtful, immediately believed Freya's identity. However, they found it unbelievable that a new hero had been born in their village.
After all, the story of the Demon King and the Hero is well-known throughout the continent of Telrim, if not unknown.
Even in the most remote mountain valleys, stories of demons eating children and heroes saving the world will be told.
Therefore, their first thought upon learning that such a noble being as a hero had been born in their village was certainly one of suspicion.
"Kyar, come out now! Princess Freya is looking for you. Just take out the mark on your right hand!"
Seeing the commotion in the crowd, Liu Tianyu shouted directly at them.
Kjaer, who was initially a little nervous about the big scene, instantly became the center of attention when he heard Liu Tianyu call his name and the villagers made way for him.
"Um, am I really a hero?"
Kyar shyly extended the gleaming emblem on his right hand and asked cautiously.
"Indeed, look, this is proof of being a hero!"
Upon seeing the emblem on Kjaer's hand, Freya's face lit up with surprise. She hadn't expected to find it so quickly and immediately raised her right hand in greeting.
"Gods above! A hero has truly been born in our village?"
"Hahaha, my son is closest to Kyar. Once Kyar becomes successful, my family will definitely benefit too!"
Seeing the intertwined emblems on the right hands of Kjaer and Freya, everyone's thoughts couldn't help but stir.
"Kyar, congratulations, really congratulations! You've truly realized your dream!"
Kyar's adoptive sister (or foster mother?) Anna pushed through the crowd, her eyes glistening with tears, and hugged Kyar tightly, repeatedly congratulating him. Her expression was devoid of any other emotion, only sincerity or maternal love.
Liu Tianyu glanced at the affectionate relationship between Kyar and Anna, and made up his mind to send a few soldiers to protect Anna when he left.
This way, he could ensure that Kyar wouldn't turn against him, and he also indirectly exploited Kyar's weakness.
"Sister Anna!"
Kjaer, who was initially nervous, put his arm around Anna and smiled shyly.
"Go, follow Princess Freya to fulfill your dream! But please be careful! Completing the hero's mission is important, but your life is even more important!"
Anna quickly released Kyar, her expression like that of a mother about to part with her son, and carefully reminded him.
"Ok!"
Kyar nodded heavily, then walked up to Freya and smiled knowingly when he saw Liu Tianyu not far from Freya.
Liu Tianyu gave a knowing look at Kjaer's knowing smile. After all, Kjaer was still a citizen of Geolar, and with his identity as a hero confirmed, taking him away would not be an easy task.
Therefore, it's best not to reveal their identities for now.
Kyar was somewhat confused by Liu Tianyu's coldness, but at this moment, Freya had already reached out to pull him, so he couldn't care less about Liu Tianyu's strange look.
"It feels like a dream, like I've actually become a hero or something."
After being pulled into the luxurious and comfortable open carriage by Freya, Kyar scratched his head shyly.
"Don't be nervous, I, as a senior hero, will give you some pointers!"
