You Damned Woman Are So Sweet

For the knights Your Highness loyal to the princess, it was a disgrace that the princess Your Highness by a count.

It was already a serious dereliction of duty that they could not help the princess reclaim her rightful Your Highness. Now, they had to watch her Your Highness a count's knight, a disgrace that only they, the knights, could truly understand.

Galuowei was unwilling to accept defeat. He had thought he could easily defeat the count in front of him, but he hadn't expected the count to be so cunning. He was not only an apothecary but also a Beast Tamer.

Moreover, he was a powerful Beast Tamer; with just that Two-Headed Hellhound and giant tortoise, he could easily sweep them aside.

We can't beat them.

We really can't beat them.

Forcing a fight against the Earl will only make him look more pathetic and shows a lack of chivalry.

As agreed, he will spend the rest of his life with Saint Blue, fighting for Saint Blue.

With a bitter smile, Galuowei composed himself and stepped into the courtyard. Just as he was about to kneel down on one knee to offer his loyalty to the count before him, a figure stepped past him and knelt down on one knee first.

It's Her Your Highness the Princess! "Gods above, witness my oath, I, Claire Diya, hereby swear that from this day forward, I will relinquish my former identity and, as a knight, pledge my allegiance to Lance and to Saint Lance."

I swear that I will use the sword in my hand to protect Count Lance and Saint Lance until the end of my life.

I solemnly swear that I will always remain humble and prudent, and will not disrespect your reputation and authority. I will respect your decisions and instructions, and will always remain loyal and obedient.

I swear, I will dedicate everything to you and Saint Blue. I will protect you and Saint Blue forever with the honor and dignity of a knight.

I will remain true to my vow and never break it.

To dispel Lance's doubts, Claire Diya swore an oath on the spot, in the name of the gods, that the consequences of breaking the oath would be severe.

Fortunately, she had no intention of breaking her vow.

Have you sworn an oath of allegiance in the name of the gods?

"Saint Blue accepts your allegiance."

Lance stood up and patted Claire Diya's shoulder three times.

"I will certainly not betray Earl Lance's trust."

Claire stood up, placed her right hand on her chest, looked into Lance's golden-red eyes, and replied earnestly.

There's one thing she's particularly concerned about.

Lance said, "Saint Lance accepts her allegiance," not "I accept your allegiance."

When Galuowei challenged him, his demand was also 'to pledge allegiance to Saint Blue if he loses'.

There is a difference between being loyal to Saint Lan and being loyal to him personally.

When Galuowei and the knights who followed Claire outside the courtyard saw that their Your Highness had made a choice, they were saddened and knelt on one knee to swear allegiance to Lance and Saint Lance.

"Saint Blue accepts your allegiance."

Standing behind Lance, Ticia put aside her prejudices against Claire and the group of knights, and swore by the gods that they would never betray the Viscount or Saint Lance in their lifetime.

I wonder what the Viscount plans to do with them. Will he have them join the Blue Moon Knight Order?

Or should we establish a new knightly order, with Claire as its leader?

"Ticia, I'm entrusting them to you. You can discuss how to settle them, or you can decide for yourself."

"Your Excellency, Viscount."

"Don't overthink it, I have absolute trust in you."

Lance chuckled and patted Ticia on the shoulder. Did this child think he was going to establish another knightly order to divide her power? Normally, a qualified lord would indeed do that.

He was not a qualified lord, so he could do whatever he wanted without thinking too much.

Being sidelined by his subordinates? He didn't care about that at all.

Upon hearing Lance's words, Claire became even more certain of her suspicions: Lance would never interfere in any of Saint Lan's political affairs.

He had absolute trust in his loyal subjects, the Holy Blue.

He had no concern whatsoever that Saint Blue's subjects would betray him.

"My lord, may I become Ticia's deputy? Or perhaps the vice-commander of the Blue Moon Knight Order? As you know, with my abilities, I can assist Ticia well and make up for some of her shortcomings."

"Ticia, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency, please consider this carefully. I am not familiar with Claire's abilities and do not know whether she is capable of serving as the Blue Moon Knight Order."

"Her abilities are not a problem, so let her serve as the vice-commander of your Knights Order."

"Yes."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency."

Lance didn't speak. He stared at Claire's face for a while, then thought to himself, "Huh? Why is this guy's life-or-death tribulation twisting and disappearing? His luck has improved a lot."

Could it be that her decision to pledge allegiance to Saint Blue changed her fate?

"Your Excellency, there is one more matter that requires your decision."

"What's up?"

"We've already chosen a site for the Dragon God Temple, and all the preliminary preparations are complete. Once you've inspected it and confirmed that the location is suitable, we can begin construction tomorrow."

"???"

Are you serious? How much does it cost to build a temple? Does Saint Lan have that much money?

Oh, you've got some money now, but isn't spending it like this a bit wasteful?

"Rich?"

"It won't cost much. The people of the Fief know that the Dragon God Temple needs to be built, and they all sign up without asking for any reward, after all, the dragons have been kind to us."

Where will the site be located?

"That location Saint Blue City, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, is directly opposite Saint Blue City."

"That location is good; you can fix it if you want."

"Yes."

Claire's eyes lit up. The Dragon God Temple?

If she remembered correctly, there didn't seem to be a single Dragon God Temple within the Red Maple Kingdom.

If Saint Blue decides to build it, it will become the first place in the Red Maple Kingdom to worship the Dragon God.

It has benefits.

Well, Saint Lan has already gained a lot of benefits from the dragon race. Now that the Dragon God Temple has been built, if any dragons pass by here, or if that Little Dragon Highness goes back and tells his mother that a Dragon God Temple has been built in the human world, the Little Dragon Highness's mother's goodwill towards Lance will rise sharply.

If one day, when the Little Dragon Highness's mother is visiting relatives and friends, she reveals this news to some of her dragon friends.

The dragon might come to see.

Saint Blue might gain the favor of the dragon at that time.

Thinking about it this way, Claire suddenly realized that she had underestimated Saint Blue's potential.

We really need to properly assist Ticia in developing Saint Blue. Let's set a small goal first: change the province's name to Saint Blue.

"Your Excellency, if you have no other instructions, I will take them to collect their uniforms and choose their mounts."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to serve the Viscount."

Ticia left with Claire and the group of knights.

That's it?

I was all set to go all out, and this is it? Er Gouzi's two heads looked at each other, feeling it was pointless. He decided to go back to being the boss of the city dogs later.

Now, let's play a frisbee game with the baby dragon. I have to say, it actually found it quite fun after just a little while.

The tortoise shrunk to about two meters in size and continued its leisurely stroll on the lawn. It was terrified; it thought it was about to be stabbed with toothpicks by those human knights. "Ingrid, is there any mail for me in the mailbox?"

"Your Excellency, I checked this morning and there doesn't seem to be any letter from you. I'll check again this afternoon."

"Good."

Lance started to feel anxious. Would his manuscript be rejected? His youth romance novel was so good. He hoped to find a discerning reader, like someone from Fantasy Dimension Magazine.

At this moment, a reader looked at the manuscript written under the pen name "Viscount" and got goosebumps all over.

It fell and rose, it fell and rose.

He threw the manuscript away several times during the process, only to pick it up again and continue reading.

Strange.

That's really strange.

This teen romance novel looks incredibly awkward, but I just can't help but want to read it.

The witty remarks the male lead made, in particular, truly broadened his horizons.

How about we publish a thousand copies of this manuscript first and see how it goes?

"Stanley, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at you. You Damned Woman Are So Sweet."

"???!!!"

P. S.: Which sweet woman stole all the monthly tickets from you guys? Are there any left? If so, could you guys give me one?
