"...I see, you came recommended by the Knight Order!"
Justin looked the Silver-Haired Youth before him over again in surprise.
He had never expected someone so young to qualify for a recommendation from the Knight Order.
Although the Knight Order was sworn to serve the imperial family as its most loyal guardians, Justin had no intention of looking down on them.
After all, he was nowhere near being able to command the order at will. In fact... ordinary members of the imperial family had to show respect when meeting its full-fledged members.
As a child, Justin had dreamed of joining the Knight Order himself. That dream had gone nowhere.
"Big Brother Justin, you must be a really amazing royal!" Young Master [Wild]'s eyes sparkled as though he had met his idol. "Ever since I was little, I've wanted an amazing big brother! How about I stick with you once we enter the Ancestral Land? Big Brother Justin!"
By the time [Wild] said this, it was already too late for Xiro Yur to stop him.
Before they left, King [Artesia] had specifically instructed him to keep a close eye on [Wild]... but this illegitimate royal son had been born in the refugee district and grown up on the streets. He was eccentric enough that keeping him in line was no easy task.
All Xiro Yur could do was sigh inwardly.
"This is my first time entering the Ancestral Land too." Justin shook his head. "Following me won't help you."
His motives for entering the Ancestral Land this time were hardly pure, and he wanted no complications... wasn't this boy recommended by the Knight Order a little too familiar?
"It's my first time too!" Young Master [Wild] slapped Justin firmly on the shoulder. "That's exactly why we should stick together!"
"Sorry." Justin
