“Brother, what are you thinking about?”

On the other side, looking at the shocked expression on Gregg’s face, Bella White smiled and asked again.

“Nothing much.”

Regaining his composure somewhat, Gregg shook his head with mixed emotions and said, “Originally, as your elder brother, I planned to earn more Gold Dragons in the Royal Capital for a few more years to improve your living conditions.”

“But now it seems that you, my little sister, have become so successful that I can’t help but feel envious.”

“Brother, actually just a few days ago, I almost lost my life. I am where I am today only because of the Lord’s care…”

Next, Bella didn’t hesitate.

She recounted the whole story of how they met Leo Ray and his group in a small alley while trying to escape assassination, as well as the reasons for the entire incident to Gregg.

“So that’s what happened.”

Hearing this, Gregg was lost in thought for a while before speaking again, “No wonder you appeared here, it turns out it was because of the Lord of Cyan Town…”

At this moment, Gregg’s mind was full of thoughts.

On his first arrival in Cyan Town via the Flying Airships, Leo Ray’s words and actions in front of Ariel had already shocked him deeply.

One should know that during the time in the Royal Capital, even the most powerful and influential nobles would act submissive and fawning when facing the princess.

After all, behind the princess stood the absolute ruler of this land: the Coldflame Royal Family.

The only person he had ever seen not bow down to such powerful figures was Leo Ray, the Lord of Cyan City!

What was even more unexpected was that the other party had saved his only relative in this world. This act alone was enough to earn his great respect!

As Gregg thought of this.

With a gentle smile on his face, accompanied by his subordinates, Leo Ray appeared before the two of them.

Next, after entering a quiet room, it didn’t take long.

With the crisp sound of armored collisions, Gregg, wholeheartedly convinced, knelt on one knee and lowered his head deeply to Leo Ray, “I, Gregg Landon, am willing to swear allegiance to you, my Lord!”

“Let’s begin the contract.”

Leo Ray gave a faint smile as his hand suddenly held a Recruitment Order.

Soon after, familiar notification sounds swiftly entered Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, Tier 3 Two-Star Heavy Swordsman Gregg Landon has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you, becoming your new subordinate!]

Upon helping Gregg up, Leo Ray opened the other man’s Attribute Column.

[Name: Gregg]

[Occupation: Heavy Swordsman]

[Tier: Tier 3 Two-Star]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill 1: Shield-breaking Slash (Physical Single-target Attack, with additional Shield-breaking and Armor-piercing effects)]

[Skill 2: Storm Whirl Slash (Small-scale Physical Attack)]

[Skill 3: Heavy Sword Mastery (Passive: Increases damage when using a Heavy Sword)]

Leo Ray closed the Attribute Column and, after taking his seat at the head of the room, gestured for Gregg to sit beside him. He then picked up the fragrant tea that had just been brewed by Abigail and took a sip.

Next, it was time to learn more about the Fifth Princess of Coldflame, Ariel.

As he slowly put down the teacup, without hesitation, Leo Ray described his speculation about Princess Ariel’s personal visit to Cyan Town to Gregg.

“My Lord, everything is indeed as you expected.”

After listening to Leo Ray’s description, Gregg bowed slightly and continued, “To the best of my knowledge, Ariel’s castle has indeed been infiltrated by top-level assassins several times, targeting her personally. Fortunately, every time she has managed to escape danger.”

“However, I was only responsible for periphery security and don’t know the specific details, but I’ve heard that after secret investigations, each assassin seemed to have some connection to one of the three princes fighting for power and influence.”

“I see.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and thoughtfully said, “In other words, there is more than one prince targeting Ariel’s life. No wonder, although she’s the weakest in terms of power as the Fifth Princess of Coldflame, Ariel has the right to inherit the throne.”

“This alone is enough reason for all the other princes to want to harm her.”

“My Lord, you are absolutely right.”

On the other side, Gregg bowed his head and then continued, “Additionally, before arriving here, on one occasion during a conversation between the Princess and the two Kingdom Generals, I accidentally overheard in passing Giant Axe General Burt mentioning the idea of getting the Princess to seek refuge in Cyan Town by using the opportunity of her mission.”

“It seems that their primary purpose in coming here is indeed to avoid the power struggle in the Royal Capital.”

Leo Ray picked up the teacup and took another sip of the fragrant tea, nodding his head and motioning for Abigail to pour another cup for Gregg.

“Thank you, my Lord!”

Taking the steaming white porcelain teacup, Gregg pondered for a moment before saying, “As for whether the princess has other intentions, I haven’t heard of them.”

“The only clue is the ‘matter’ mentioned by the Lord. I have also heard the princess and the two Kingdom Generals talking about this.”
