Chapter 747: Chapter 542 Christmas Eve_2 Chapter 747: Chapter 542 Christmas Eve_2 “Miss Lorena? Mr. Duanmu he…?”
“Oh, Sir Knight is not here, I think he might be coming for the dinner party? Maybe not?”
“Knight…?”
“…Sir??”
Mary didn't know why, but suddenly the gaze from Shirley and Asherica nearby felt piercing. Had she said something wrong?
After a bit of small talk, Baroness Baskerville and Lorena left temporarily. At this moment, Shirley and Asherica surrounded Mary together.
“Er…what's happening? What went wrong?”
“It seems that Mary has been keeping a lot from us.”
Asherica crossed her arms displeasedly, staring at Mary. Shirley on the other side didn't say anything, but her gaze also conveyed the same feeling.
“A'She did not know anything, you also know Miss Lorena? She's not a student of Masters College, right?”
“I…I just met her by chance, she's a Pilgrimage Priest… that's what she said.”
“So you met at the church?”
“Not quite, she has simply guided me through some exercises….”
“Exercises???”
“Yes…..”
Looking back on the Spartan training guided by Lorena, Mary instinctively shivered. To be honest, those were not the kind of exercises an ordinary lady could handle.
Why would a priest be so enthusiastic about exercise….”
“So who's the Sir Knight then?”
At this moment, Shirley also began to inquire. Although she was not as fiery as Asherica, Mary couldn't help but feel that Shirley was more intimidating than when she first met her on the altar in Dark City.
“That's Mr. Duanmu…”
That said, Shirley should have seen Duanmu Huai in the Antarctic back then. But she had lost all her memories of what happened at the Tartar Gate, so she probably didn't recall that.
“Why did Miss Lorena refer to him as Sir Knight? Could it be that Sir is a knight anointed by the Queen?”
“Er… No, according to Miss Lorena, Mr. Duanmu seems to be an honorary knight appointed by their church. She served as a priest by his side, hence why she referred to Mr. Duanmu as Sir Knight…”
“Church?”
It was shocking for both Shirley and Asherica to hear about the Church-bestowed knight, a nightmarishly inconceivable envision was already troubling enough for them. They had never heard such a thing before. Having learned this, however, Asherica's eyes sparkled all of a sudden.
“Does that mean the Sir is a Sacred Knight? I've never met a real Sacred Knight before. I wonder what kind of person he is….”
“Er………”
Seeing Asherica's starry-eyed and in a daze, Maria involuntarily managed a bitter smile. Indeed, any girl who hasn't met Duanmu Huai would undoubtedly envision a sacred yet dashingly handsome knight with golden hair and blue eyes, filled with a gentleman's grace- upon hearing the term Sacred Knight.
Regrettably…….
“I regret to shatter your illusion, but, A'She, I must remind you that the Sir is nothing like what you'd imagine.”
To be honest, even Marie herself never associated the phrase 'knight' with Duanmu Huai.
Your real knight wouldn't act this way…
Recalling how Duanmu Huai ruthlessly smashed through the heads of those Shadow creatures didn't help either. Mary couldn't help but sigh deep within her.
A real knight wouldn't do this, right?
…He wouldn't, right?
Frankly, Mary wasn't even confident with herself with this.
“So, how did you meet the 'Sir'?”
“Eh? That…..”
Oh no, it's starting again!
Watching Shirley smiling and pressing Mary, Asherica couldn't help but stick her tongue out a little. She noticed that when it came to male friends of Mary, Shirley always followed her closely. She remembered once when Zack, a man Mary knew, approached her while they were out together. Zack just said a few words to Mary and Shirley cleverly diverted the topic and drove him away.
Although Mary herself seemed to have noticed nothing out of ordinary… But Asherica saw it. She found out a long time ago that Shirley didn't seem to like boys getting close to Mary. Every time a man approached Mary, Shirley would become a bit scary…
But on the bright side, Asherica could also understand Shirley's point of view. After all, it was Mary – who was yet to have her first love – and so, like her, Shirley wanted a serious, dignified consideration before anything. Not just anyone could become Mary's boyfriend. If possible, Asherica also hoped that Mary'd be able to go through a happy and joyous romance like herself….
But…Shirly seemed a bit too aggressive though…
Seeing Shirley smiling at the moment, Asherica couldn't help but feel a little fearful. She could, of course, understand why Shirley felt that way. After all, even Asherica herself had never heard of Miss Lorena or the Knight Sir from Mary's mouth. Presumably, therefore, they didn't have a long acquaintanceship. Adding that the two must have met while Shirley was unconscious, this 'Sir' might just be the 'mysterious man' who had his way with Mary… If that were the case, 'A'She wouldn't spare him!
