After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 134: The Royal Knights (9)

Zephir never expected that these cunning horse thieves would die at the hands of a coachman.

He noticed the young man with blood on his clothes, and was slightly stunned when he looked at Gu Changyou with a pair of amber eyes with an indifferent expression.

Zephir serves as the knight commander of the second squadron of the Royal Knights. Under the king's order, he captures seven horse thieves led by the sinful Isaac.

If Zephir hadn't discovered a horse thief being chased by crows, he wouldn't have followed the blood trail to find this place.

"You've done well. These bandits are notorious for their crimes. They even robbed and murdered people in the royal city a few days ago. If you kill them, you'll receive a generous reward." Zephiel turned his gaze to Andrew. He dismounted and removed his helmet. Several knights behind him also dismounted and stood aside.

Zephir has brown curly hair, and his facial features are handsome, with thick eyebrows and a pair of brown eyes.

Gu Chang looked at Zephir's face, which was 70% similar to Neve's. He knew the identity of the knight in front of him.

"I am Zephir Green, the knight commander of the second squadron of the Royal Knights." Zephir politely saluted Gu Chang.

Gu Chang smiled slightly, "Hello, Knight Commander Zephir, I am Helain Gabriella."

Hearing Gu Chang say this, Zephiel confirmed his guess.

There was a concubine in the palace named Anna, whose eyes were a unique amber color. Zephir had met Anna several times in the palace and was deeply impressed by her.

When he saw that Gu Chang and Anna were somewhat similar, he began to guess Gu Chang's identity.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, we are late and have frightened you." Zephir drew the long sword from his waist, touched the ground with the tip of the sword, and bowed his head in salute.

The knights behind him also saluted Gu Chang.

Gu Chang smiled and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I have a brave and capable driver."

"Excuse me, does Princess Anna know that you are back?" Although the outside world has been saying that Heilain has gone to another place to recuperate, now that Heilain appears here, Zephir has to ask one more question.

"Please help me pass a message to my mother. I'm going to change my clothes." Gu Chang said lightly.

Zephir said respectfully, "As you command, Your Highness."

Then he called on the other knights to clean up the bodies on the ground.

When Gu Chang returned to the carriage, Cedric had already taken out a brand new set of clothes.

"It seems that they should go with us." Gu Chang first took off the "Silver Fall" and then took off his coat.

Cedric helped him unbutton his clothes. "I'll leave tonight."

Gu Chang looked at the black hair on Cedric's forehead. He couldn't help but touch Cedric's face with his hand, "Okay, this is the only way now."

"A Chang, I will wait for you in the royal city." Cedric looked up and looked at Gu Chang with a pair of gentle eyes.

Gu Chang lowered his head and kissed Cedric on the lips. They tasted each other briefly and stopped kissing.

The carriage moved forward again.

Zephir released the carrier pigeon with the message tied to it, then mounted his horse, rode slowly, and turned to look at the carriage with the curtains drawn.

He was thinking that a lot of things would definitely happen when the fifth prince returned to the royal city.

Andrew's voice suddenly rang out, "This Knight Commander."

"What's wrong? Andrew." Zephir turned his gaze to Andrew.

Andrew's voice was neither cold nor enthusiastic. "Perhaps the knights came out after lunch. His Royal Highness the Prince not only has to face the threat of horse thieves, but also the threat of hunger."

Zephir understood the implication of Andrew's words and smiled softly, "Andrew, there's a small town a few hundred meters away. It's safer to eat there."

They were following the trail of horse thieves, who had also been robbing the town. Fortunately, the thieves fled in a hurry after learning of their arrival, so there were no casualties.

"Your Highness, please be patient for a moment." Zephir was riding a horse next to the carriage. He spoke gently to the people in the carriage.

Gu Chang just said "hmm" and stopped talking.

Zephir felt that His Royal Highness the Prince had become cold and indifferent.

Before he was the Knight Commander, he had heard a lot about Helain's deeds.

There were stories of a count's daughter insisting on marrying Helain, and stories of noble ladies quarreling over the same perfume Helain had. At the time, Zephir only thought of the Fifth Prince as a playboy, and his impression of him wasn't bad.

Later, when the rumor came out, Heilain's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse. Many noble ladies cried their eyes out, thinking that it was wrong for Heilain to hide the fact that he had a mistress.

At that time, Heinlein was at the center of rumors and was extremely busy.

Zephir once accidentally ran into Helena and Anna talking in the palace. He still remembered that Helena's eyes were red with tears because of this incident, and the beautiful Anna was comforting him softly.

But at that time, Zephir came to the palace to see his brother Michael and couldn't stay there for too long.

But now, when he saw Helain again, he had become a completely different person.

She no longer has the same weak expression as before.

However, he has been through so much and will always be different.

A smile played at the corner of Zephir's lips. Only a Heline like this would be able to protect others, rather than being protected by others.

After Helain left the royal city to recuperate, the king made Anna his concubine, giving her a legitimate status.

Zephir thought the king was just trying to comfort the sad woman.

If he were to do it, he would help Anna find out the mastermind behind the incident and resolve the matter completely.

Instead of giving her a name, doing nothing, and caring about nothing, he asked Anna to come forward to explain the rumor.

Gu Chang in the carriage didn't know that Zephiel had thought so much.

He just vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the way Zephir looked at him.

Afterwards, Gu Chang and his group arrived at the small town.

Zephir was so rich that he booked the restaurant.

Regarding his behavior, Gu Chang just felt that the salary of the Knights was really high.

Zephir's explanation for this was to avoid exposing the prince's whereabouts.

Gu Chang couldn't help but look at him twice more. He felt that this Zephiel knew something.

"My mother, is she okay?" Gu Chang looked at Zephir who was standing aside.

Zephir raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Your Highness, Princess Anna has become quite haggard because of your illness. Fortunately, the Second and Third Princesses often take Princess Anna out for walks, so she is still in good health. I believe that Princess Anna will be even happier when you return."

Thinking of Princess Anna who was always sad, Zephir couldn't help but feel sorry for this woman.

She is so beautiful and gentle. Such a rose-like woman is not worthy of withering in the palace.

Gu Chang noticed that Zephir's eyes were a little fiery, especially when he talked about Anna, his eyes were shining.

The other knights couldn't help but look away, as they knew Zephir's special feelings for Princess Anna.

Just like a believer, he will not tolerate others insulting his god. A believer will always follow his god.

Zephyr is one such believer.

Gu Chang blinked, "Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome, Your Highness. This is what I should do." Zephir said politely.

"Excuse me, what do you think of my mother Anna?" Gu Chang asked directly.

The system chuckled and said, "Host, it's not good for you to use your full power so close to my face."

"It's better to ask some questions clearly." Gu Chang explained to the system. Zephir's eyes would light up when he talked about Anna. This could easily lead to misunderstandings.

The other knights were shocked by Gu Chang's question. They looked at each other, then turned their attention to Zephiel. They hoped that the Knight Commander would not say anything that could lead to misunderstanding.

Zephir became serious, and he said word by word with determination, "Princess Anna is the most gentle person I have ever met. She is like an angel, loving the world. I am willing to follow her shadow forever and eradicate all injustice for her!"

"As a knight, as a knight of the Royal Order. Faith, hope, charity, justice, prudence, perseverance, and moderation are the rules that a knight must abide by. The Royal Order serves members of the royal family. If the leader shows favoritism and acts unfairly, it is the duty of a Royal Knight to correct this mistake and protect the victim."

The Royal Knights served not only as a knightly order to protect the royal family, but also as a sword hanging high behind the king. However, most of the knights in the Royal Knights Order were selected from the nobility. Commoners like Zephir had to work harder to become a knight.

He knew how dark it was where the sun didn't shine, so after becoming a knight, he would use his power to help those who had little influence.

Out of jealousy, the eldest prince Lotus did not hesitate to slander and frame his younger brother.

Fizer couldn't stand this kind of thing.

But the king did not allow the matter to be investigated further. Facing the supreme royal power, Zephir alone could not do it.

The other people in the Knights Temperance would not rashly offend Lotus because they were waiting to see who would be the next successor.

But the current Royal Knights have changed a lot, and the sword can no longer tell the direction.

Zephir could only protect Princess Anna in secret to prevent her from being framed by Lotus.

As Helain's mother, she is a threat in Lotus's eyes.

When the other knights heard Zephir's answer, they all looked at him with admiration.

Most of them were selected from the common people, which led to the noble knights from other divisions looking down on them.

All the hard work, such as catching criminals on wanted posters, was assigned to them.

But Zephir was a good man, happy to share his experiences as a knight. They were all eager to follow in his footsteps. So even if Zephir said something outrageous in front of them, they would just ignore it.

Gu Chang smiled gently, his eyes full of gentleness, "You are right. As a member of the Royal Knights, you have done a great job. Thank you for always protecting my mother."

"This is what I should do." Zefei also smiled and said respectfully to Gu Chang.

Anna is a very good person. Faced with rumors, she immediately found evidence and cleared Heinlein's name in front of the public.

He was willing to protect such a fair person, but too much attention would always lead to misunderstandings.

For example, his teammates thought he had other thoughts about Princess Anna.

Zephir was helpless about this. He explained many times that he had no feelings for Princess Anna and simply wanted to protect the poor princess.

But his teammates didn't believe his explanation and instead teased him.

Zephir simply stopped explaining later, because the more he explained, the less clear it became.

If anyone is to blame, it's only because Zephir has a pair of affectionate eyes.

Even when he is in a daze, people will feel that he is missing someone.

"Have you had lunch?" Gu Chang asked.

Zephir shook his head. "Not yet. We'll eat after you finish."

"There's no need to do this. Let's eat together. This is the prince's order." Gu Chang did not allow Zefir to refuse. He stood up, raised his hand and put it on Zefir's shoulder, pushing him to sit on the chair.

Zephir had no choice but to sit down and let the other knights find a place to sit down.

They had been chasing the horse thieves all morning and had no time to rest.

Zephir couldn't say no to Gu Chang's words.

This fifth prince is really different.
