Cheng Mo looked at her eyes and couldn't help but smile.

He remembered the answer she said when she first asked Catherine about the past.

No wonder she showed such a complicated expression at that time, no wonder she encouraged herself to pursue her past memories.

Because there is nothing scary about it, the past is the past, no matter how miserable it is, we are all living in the present.

So just face up to the memories of the past.

The identity of the past does not mean the present.

"Thank you for your story, I think I understand a lot." Cheng Mo said in a deep voice: "Good and evil are not determined by power. Sin and punishment are really only a line of separation."

Katherine's smile became deeper: "It's good that you understand."

Cheng Mo's chaotic mood has indeed been calmed down a lot since that dream, but he still needs time to think carefully. After almost the afternoon tea left and right, he offered to say goodbye.

Catherine did not try to keep her. She knew that Cheng Mo needed time to digest it, so she watched him out with a smile.

Cheng Mo came outside the door, but found Adrick leaning against the wall and looking quietly at the ceiling. He didn't know if he had been listening to Catherine's story just now.

"Mr. Cheng, I'll take you out." He finally withdrew his gaze when he felt Cheng Mo come out.

"Yes." Cheng Mo agreed and followed him out.

"It is really her blessing to be able to meet everyone on Jiefeng Mountain. She never showed a very happy expression in the palace, but she has always been very comfortable and happy here." Adrick whispered, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or to Cheng Mo.

"Yes, it's really amazing that she can walk out of the shadow of the past and continue moving forward." Cheng Mo said sincerely: "Of course, she said that you are indispensable, and there is no today without you and she."

Adrick was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I am her knight, so I will naturally protect her."

"You don't seem to call her Princess now?"

"Well, this is the lady's request. She said that the princess is already a thing of the past."

Cheng Mo asked again: "How long have you been her knight? Listening to her description, it seems that you have been by her side for a long time."

"Well, I became her knight when Miss was ten years old. Now it should have been eight years." Adrick said with a rare embarrassment: "Actually, I was only thirteen or fourteen at that time. I think the queen probably wants to find a playmate for her daughter."

"There is no such easy thing for the royal family. Being a knight at the age of thirteen means that you are still outstanding." Cheng Mo said.

"Well...probably," recalled Adrick: "I entered the palace about the age of six and received various knight training. Because of my hard work, I became the youngest candidate knight at that time."

Cheng Mo was a little surprised: "You entered the palace so early?"

"It's all the gifts of His Highness." Adrick was sincerely grateful in his eyes. "If she hadn't saved me from the slave trader, I would have never seen the sunshine in my life, and I would not have had the opportunity to learn so many skills, nor would I have had the chance to meet a husband... Miss."

It turned out that he almost became a slave, but fortunately fate opened another way for him.

"It's a pity that I couldn't protect the queen at that time..." Adrick's eyes were full of regret and a faint sadness.

For him, the most important person was Catherine and her mother. What happened that night was also an indelible knot for him.

The queen was killed and the princess turned black, and no matter which one made him unable to let go. If he could be strong enough, would these be avoided?

"There was nothing to do at that time." Cheng Mo whispered: "You shouldn't want Catherine to fight, right?"

"No...I don't want her to be in danger."

At this moment, the two had already passed through the flower corridor and came to the garden, and saw small and exquisite birds passing by among the flowers and plants.

Adrick looked at the bird and whispered: "Miss is different from other noble girls. I knew very early on that she should be a free nightingale, not a canary in a cage, so life is what she likes more now, and then I will be happy for her."

"What's more, you are there." Adrick sighed: "If you don't come out, you won't know that the outside world is vast. Our country is just a small, closed and backward country. People outside should have lived better than us in the past."

Cheng Mo nodded in agreement. The slave country was indeed too backward. According to the opposition and oppression described by Catherine, even without the night of Brokenness, the king's rule would come to an end. It is a blessing that they could escape from that cage.

"I watched the lady grow up all the way, and naturally I knew where her heart was." Adrick looked at the flowers in front of him, and seemed to see the little girl in a princess dress spinning happily. She grew up slowly and became a beautiful and elegant woman. The clear heart never changed. This was the thing he was most pleased with.

Cheng Mo looked at his blue eyes, and his eyes were full of tenderness and doting at the moment, which was an emotion he had never directly revealed.

"Are you to Catherine......" he couldn't help asking.

"I am Miss's Knight." Adrick lowered his eyes.

Cheng Mo said inexplicably: "But there is no need to talk about so many rules now. We are all equal companions. Even if we keep some habits, this kind of thing..."

"I once swore to the Queen to be the knight of the Miss forever." Adrick whispered: "And the Miss is so brilliant and intelligent and kind that after the world returns to normal, she should be able to find a better person."

The princess always marry a prince, how dare a little knight ask for it?

What's more, Adrick's feelings for Catherine are beyond imagination. They are feelings engraved in blood and even higher than love.

He could give silently for her for ten years without asking for any reward. When she was happy with others, he would not disturb her. Just like when she left the palace before, Catherine never found that she was always following her.

He fully interpreted the spirit of the knight, creating this love that is different from anyone.

Even his superpowers are like this, why is Adrick's superpower level lower than Katherine?

Because Catherine's superpower was born for the world, she wanted to cleanse all the injustice and sins of the world; while Adrick's superpower was born for Catherine alone, and his duty was to protect her forever.

This is why only he and Katherine can perform that combination technique.

He loved her, and no one could imagine it since early on.

When Adrick was ten years old, when he was training for a knight, he met the young Catherine for the first time, and his eyes were attracted by the lively little girl.

She is the unique light in the palace. She is different from other noble girls. He knew it very early.

The more he saw it, the less he could not move his gaze at the light and willingly sink into it.

So when he was thirteen years old, he was chosen by the queen as the exclusive knight of the princess, don't mention how happy he was.

Adrick will never forget that day. When the queen faced the rising sun, she said gently and solemnly: "Adrick, are you willing to be the princess's knight? Always protect her, help her, and love her."

At that time, I knelt on one knee and gave an oath in my most pious heart and tone: "i

long as  my  life  is  going  on.”(I will, I will never stop until death.)
