Chapter 67
With her mood was lifted, her perspective also broadened .
Zeke’s aptitude with the dragon made him an eligible Dragon Knight candidate . If he was compatible with a dragon, he would have more opportunities to come in and out of the dragon stables, or have more contact with dragons . Jill, on the other hand,was to be be sent to the Dragon Knights’ secondary auxiliary work . Due to their separate positions, they naturally split up . Thinking carefully, it was a good development for gathering information .
To Jill’s delight, Zeke uttered .
“Then I will also help—isn’t it obvious? I am your knight after all . ”
“I am His Majesty’s wife . Even if it’s a mere apprenticeship, they might still come after His Majesty . Gather information about the strength of the Dragon Knights and also the Imperial Capital . ”
“Listen . I am . Your . Knight . ”
“I am, the wife, of His Majesty . That’s why, I shall entrust the task to you . In the unlikely event that my identity is revealed, Zeke will be in a deeper trouble than me because you’re considered the insider amongst the Dragon Knights . ”
Zeke, with his arms crossed, pondered for a long time—after a while, he showed a resigned expression .
“I understand—but don’t overdo it . Because of yesterday’s incident, it’s likely that a fool will come to lick your feet, Captain . They don’t seem competent for now, but things will likely change once they become Dragon Knights—there might also a change of treatment . ”
Zeke’s concern was a hit .
“So, there will be a patrol of the city this morning?”
“Yes, and you’re the one appointed for the task . ”
“Understood, iInstructor . Does that mean I won’t be able to attend the training?”
“Indeed . Another team is waiting at the fountain square in the center of the town . Follow their instructions . Use the apprentice’s armband as a mark . ”
If it was determined that someone was unsuited to be a Dragon Knight, it seemed that the apprentice would be charged with another task .
The person who has become a Dragon Knight will then teach the apprentices how to treat a dragon… or so to say .
During that period, the apprentices were encouraged to give their best, and the armed forces were fairly equal—however… they were Dragon Knights .
Feeling that something was amiss, Jill pursed her lips .

She heard a sneer from behind her, but she stretched her spine and returned the salute .
“Understood! I shall start patrolling!”
“Return at noon for the afternoon session—alright, next!”
The next person, whom was called, turned pale . That person was probably in similar predicament as Jill—as in, not compatible with dragons .
Jill left the training ground, softly shaking her head to Zeke, who seemed like he had something to say .
To be able to receive a lecture meant she wasn’t laid off . But some thought they might not be back by noon .
Let’s leave the information gathering regarding the Dragon Knights to Zeke . I will be collecting information about the Imperial Capital .
The question was what was waiting at the fountain square . It was said that there was another team, however, it was probably a group of people deemed unsuitable to be Dragon Knights .
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the Dragon Knights were the most elite—thus, bullying and a domineering attitude were also rampant . There was no such thing as an organization that was clean from top to bottom . Window departments were everywhere .

I guess that’s one thing that is similar between Rave and Kratos…
No uniform was provided for apprentices . Only an armband . Jill reached the fountain square and blinked . She started looking around .
During that day’s test, there was a person sitting at the edge of the fountain’s remnants—which was trampled by the dragon—and reading a book . He had a light blue armband on his left arm, showing that he was an apprentice, just like Jill .
“Umm…”
When she spoke, the person sitting on the fountain lifted his face .
White skin and platinum hair—in addition, he wore a simple white shirt, which emphasized his bluish eyes .
Although he was a youth, he was too old to be called a boy . His gentle smile hinted none of his knight identity . However, his quiet look was deep and sharp .
“Oh, you’re the girl who joined the other day . I heard rumors about you—for your age, you’re quite skillful . ”

A slightly high-pitched voice resounded gently .
But she must never let her guard down . Those intelligent eyes of his—Jill knew them well . Indeed, she knew all about him—for they had met six years from now .
“I’m Lawrence, nice to meet you . ”
None of that matters for now—she extended her hand .
“I am Jill, I will be in your care . ”
“So, your name is Jill? It has a nice sound to it . ”
He laughed without a care—it wouldn’t be strange if he realized Jill’s true identity .
A person who could do such a feat—she knew him well .
Because he was formerly Jill’s aide, and as of now, he should had already become the subordinate of His Highness the Crown Prince, Geraldo De Kratos .
