Chapter 214 Knight's Oath
The Rose Building was bustling with activity. The student union president and other colleagues were welcoming the new members who joined this year.
The president wore a gentle smile and patiently introduced the work of each department in detail to everyone and answered their respective questions.
A little boy with freckles was looking at the president sitting at the head of the long table with admiration and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Catherine. You are so kind and sincere--"
"Oh!"
The door was suddenly pushed open roughly, and the boy saw a blonde senior student angrily walking up to the president and yelling -
"fraud!"
The boy was blocked before he could finish his praise, and all the new members looked at each other in amazement.
"You are so rude, Lilith." Angel sat beside Catherine, cleared her throat proudly, and accused Lilith lightly. Haha, she must have gone crazy because of being ignored. Go crazy, the crazier the better!
"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!" Lilith glared at her fiercely, then turned her head and stared at Catherine.
An Qi:......
"I remember you seemed to tell everyone that we were in a cold war." Catherine shook the tip of her pen and looked at Lilith speechlessly - the person who was playing the cold war also called others children?
"...The cold war is suspended!" Lilith choked and managed to utter a few words, then glared at him and accused him - "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"
"Know what?" Catherine asked helplessly.
"No wonder, no wonder I said Daniel was not suitable, you just smiled and didn't respond to me, nor did you refuse..."
The more Lilith thought about it, the clearer her thoughts became. In the past, when she tried to persuade Catherine, she always looked indifferent and had a weird smile on her face, but she never said anything. Was she teasing her? !
"You already knew Leila was going to--"
"Leila?" Catherine finally understood. A smile flashed across her eyes. She hurriedly adjusted her sitting position to cover it up. When she looked up again, there was only pure confusion on her face. "What's wrong with Leila?"
"You knew Leila was coming!" Lilith gritted her teeth. She should have thought of it! But the atavism incident made her upset during the holiday, and she even forgot that Leila was going to school!
"You mean..." Catherine's gray eyes flickered almost imperceptibly behind Lilith, with an elegant smile on her face, "Should I remind you that your own sister is going to school?"
No matter how to remind her, this guy didn’t even wait for her to go to class today!
"That's right!" Lilith was not justified but confident.
"Hmph..." A sneer came from behind. Lilith's neck stiffened instantly and she slowly turned her head away.
The girl in tight clothes was leaning against the door frame, her short red hair was like a ball of blazing flame, as flamboyant and proud as her personality. The huge sword extending diagonally from her back had no scabbard, and its size alone was enough to inspire awe at first glance.
At this moment, she was looking at Lilith with a sneer on her face, and then she walked over under the gaze of everyone.
"Lei, Leila..." Lilith stuttered, "How did you get here?" She subconsciously moved closer to Catherine, trying to hide behind the princess.
Leila stood tall and straight, her steps firm, her short red hair dancing gently with her movements. She reached back and grabbed the huge sword in front of her.
Lilith opened her eyes wide in horror—Wait! Don’t do it here! Does she not care about her status as the vice president? !
Watching the huge sword slowly approaching, Lilith decided to bravely follow her heart for once -
"I know I was wrong!" She squatted down at the princess' feet with her head in her hands, and said, "Stop hitting me, wuwuwu."
Catherine & Everyone: ...
However, Leila didn't even bother to glance at this cowardly sister. She walked up to the princess, raised the heavy sword with both hands, knelt on one knee, and placed the sword at the princess' feet.
"—Leila Taylor, sworn in the name of Zora."
Lilith put down her hands in surprise and looked at Leila with a solemn expression.
"My sword will be swung for you, and my shield will be used for you. Whether on a fierce battlefield or in a quiet palace, I will always be by your side and never leave you.
I am willing to take any difficult and dangerous road to fight for your ideals and honor. I will faithfully execute every one of your orders, without any second thoughts or personal gain, and always respond until the end of my life. "
The girl's voice was clear and crisp, with unquestionable firmness, and it was clearly heard by everyone present. An Qi's face changed from watching the fun as if it had nothing to do with her at the beginning to being shocked and angry later on.
And Lilith... Lilith was already dumbfounded. What? What was going on?
Catherine sat upright in the chair, looking at the girl with her head down at her feet, and remained silent for a long time.
After her initial surprise, she was filled with emotion.
The chain of fate that started from their fathers was recast and reinforced in their generation. She didn't even hesitate for a moment and directly chose to swear allegiance to herself, even though her grandfather had been ridiculed and mocked for the same choice.
This is... the Taylor family of Dragonfang Castle.
Amidst the shocked onlookers in the room, Catherine pulled out a chair and stood up. According to the procedure, she should have picked up Leila's sword, but the princess bent down and grasped the hilt... but never stood up.
Lilith, who was squatting closest, said: …
"Use this." Lilith's mind finally came to her senses. She took out her cold steel with great tact and handed it to Catherine.
A simple silver twined pattern flashed past Leila's eyes. She blinked, and her expression brightened slightly.
Catherine then stood up as usual and took the sword that Lilith cherished so much.
"You will always have a place by my side, share victory and glory with me, and I swear to never let your loyalty be tarnished with dishonor, in the name of Zora." Catherine's face was serious and her tone was extremely solemn.
She drew out Lilith's sword, a silver light flashed, and the slender sword made a clear humming sound. In front of everyone in the room, she placed the blade on the girl's shoulder.
"I grant you permission."
Leila raised her head, and a smile finally appeared on her serious face. She immediately looked much more lively and cute.
She really looks like Melissa... Lilith squatted aside and witnessed their vows to each other. She took this opportunity to look at her sister carefully and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
However, the face that looked like Melissa turned around and looked at Lilith who was still squatting on the ground, frowning -
"Why are you still here?"
