I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 187 Oath of Protection
The woman was stunned again, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Beth was also depressed. She walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, pretended to push Alice, and took back her saint power.
Alice woke up slowly and looked around with sleepy eyes.
The face of the person in front of her was completely covered, leaving only a pair of golden eyes exposed. Alice was a little confused and asked dimly:
"Brother Knight?"
"It's time to get up. Your mother is here to see me."
"Dad beats Mom, they don't want me anymore."
The woman blushed, she glanced down at Beth, quickly picked up Alice, and seeing that the child's clothes were still on her, she realized that she had misunderstood Beth.
"Didn't I arrange a room for you last night? Why are you still disturbing Mr. Knight?"
Alice was now sober, and, hugging her mother's neck, she said to Beth:
"Brother Knight's body is soft and fragrant, and his hands are soft and warm."
The woman looked at Beth again, and there seemed to be some expectation in her eyes.
Beth covered her forehead with her hands. Children are really a headache. They are always more troublesome than being well-behaved.
"When I held her last night, I didn't wear the gauntlets."
The light in the woman's eyes was even brighter.
Beth was shocked. Something is wrong with you.
"No, I just coaxed her to sleep."
No, that's even more wrong.
"No, I didn't... I'm not that kind of person."
Just at this moment, John also walked in. He took a look at Alice in the woman's arms, and his tense face suddenly relaxed.
"Just find it, just find it."
The woman looked at Beth, then looked at John, and thanked him:
"Thank you. The child was at Mr. Knight's place last night and just woke up now."
John didn't react at this time. He just kept saying:
"It's fine with the Lord Knight. He is a legendary knight."
Little girl: "Is the body of a legendary knight also soft and fragrant? I want to be a legendary knight in the future."
Woman: "I also want to thank Mr. Knight for taking care of Alice. I still hope that Mr. Knight can take responsibility."
The woman deliberately raised the volume of the word responsibility.
John finally reacted at this time. He looked at Beth with a confused face, and Beth spread her hands helplessly.
Even if the sun rises from the west, the God-given Knight will not take the initiative to commit a crime.
The knight in front of him was a proper knight, full of strength, with warm and reliable magic in his body.
He is definitely not a fallen knight.
John looked at the woman again, this was the mother of a daughter, Youlun's wife, both were good people.
Then why did this woman frame the Lord Knight?
Most importantly, why didn't the Knight make any excuses?
John looked at the woman. Youlun's wife was looking at John pleadingly. She hugged her child tightly. No one loved her child more than she did.
Is it just a helpless mother?
"Perhaps I can be Alice's guardian. We are friends, and I should be trustworthy. I swear to protect Alice with my life."
John turned to face the woman, his friend's wife. He was willing to make his sacrifice both for his friend and for his knight's oath.
In his opinion, such sacrifice is sacred.
But the woman didn't say anything. They had talked about it last night. Beth's strength was the pinnacle of God-given knights, far beyond what John could compare to.
The woman began to cry again, and John had no choice. Although it was an honor to protect the weak, he really didn't want to force another knight.
Even if the other party will make the same choice as him.
John sighed and said to Beth:
“Sir Knight, although this condition is very rude, I am still adhering to the Knight’s oath to protect the weak and make this request.
I hope you can swear that you will protect this child until she is able to take charge of her own life.
This is not difficult for you. Youlun talked about your battle record yesterday. You are quite strong. Protecting a child is more than enough for you. "
Beth didn't refuse, which was not difficult.
When the time comes, just put the blame on Bennett. Anyway, Bennett in this world is very powerful, so he won't mess up such a small matter.
Besides, oaths are not binding on saints at all.
"Of course, even if I die, I will entrust her to a knight of noble character. I will guarantee it with my life."
John patted Beth's shoulder, nodded affirmatively, and said:
"You don't need to swear on your life. If you feel that this child is an obstacle to your pursuit of glory, you can always entrust her to me, and I will protect her with my life."
Beth didn't respond, which really wasn't a difficult thing for her.
Just like that, Alice had two more guardian knights, although she didn't understand yet how precious such a vow was.
After a while, Youlun came back wearing a cloak. There was a little frustration on his face at first, but after seeing Alice, he returned to the joy of reunion.
His wife told him about the Guardian Knight. Youlun blamed his wife a few words, but did not make John and Beth take back their vows.
He and his wife looked at each other, and there was determination in both of their eyes.
Several people went to the dining room together, and at the dining table, they teased little Alice together.
After being comforted by Saint Beth's power, little Alice's personality became much more cheerful. Even Youlun and his wife said that little Alice loved to laugh more than before.
Beth looked at the smile on little Alice's face and gained a deeper understanding of her own saint power.
If transformation into a mortal being is a force facing the past, then this force is destined to be sad.
It carries so many wishes that this power is too heavy. Everyone who sees this power again cannot help but shed tears for the suffering.
The saints are a force for the future, and this force is destined to be full of hope.
Even if the world is facing darkness, as long as there is hope, human beings can still smile.
After breakfast, John invited Beth to the living room and they discussed how to escape.
The plan of digging a hole is obviously not feasible now.
If it were just Beth and John, both could leave right away.
First, the city will not send too many forces to attack, and second, the two men have no burdens around them.
But now with the Youlun family, this plan no longer works. In order to capture the Youlun family, the city will inevitably send more troops.
With such a strong force, the two gods were simply unable to take Youlun and his family away.
Beth looked at the city's defense map and suggested stealing two Warcraft horses. If Beth and John rode the horses, with the blessing of magic, they could pull a carriage and run much faster than humans.
However, John rejected this proposal. War horses are easy to obtain, but armor is not. Without the connection of rune armor, war horses cannot burst out at such speed.
The two of them changed the plan repeatedly and even argued over it until they were red in the face.
Outside, the city lord has issued a wanted order throughout the city. If the person is still not found in the next few days, he will issue a search warrant and let the soldiers forcibly search every house.
