Seeing that Rurik had left, Anna slowly let go of Dust and retracted to a corner of the bed.

"That's so cunning, Dust, this is your plan to escape."

Anna lowered her head and hugged her knees in disappointment.

"Okay, now Rurik is gone. You have enough time in the time he is preparing for the duel arena. Run quickly. I have injuries on my body. If you don't walk far, just throw me here."

"This is not a plan. I'm ready for a duel." Dust patted his body and stood up. "He beat you like this, and I have to give him a little color to see."

Anna bit her lips, grabbed the wooden pillow and smashed it at Dust! Her anger poured down like a summer rain: "What qualifications do you have to say this? Are you a knight? You are just a liar, don't you know what you can do to duel with Rurik? You are still useless? You are so powerful, why don't you run out of the city to protect me from the beginning? Liar, liar, liar!"

She took a few deep breaths, and her anger suddenly stopped like a summer rain.

“…Kneel down in front of me!”

"Princess?"

"Do what I said!" Anna amplified her voice slightly, "Or, do you think I am not a princess, and there is no reason to listen to my orders?"

"Do you want to step on me again..." Dust muttered and knelt in front of Anna.

"One knee!"

Dust was stunned for a moment and changed to a kneeling position.

"Pull out the sword around your waist."

Dust didn't know what Anna was thinking, so he pulled out the sword with a "sweep".

"You point your sword at me?"

Anna was angry and began to cough up blood violently.

"Princess? You...?"

"It's just a little bit of injury." Anna wiped the blood from her mouth with the corner of her clothes, "Kneel there and don't move, do what I said!"

Dust had to turn his sword.

"Hold the sword tip in your left hand, hold the sword body in your right hand, and aim the sword tip at your heart."

Dust did as he did again. He had just been seriously injured in his left hand, and it would cause severe pain as soon as he moved, and it was difficult to bend under the constraints of the bandage. But he still bent his left hand a little hard and gently pressed it on the tip of the sword.

Anna staggered out of bed, grabbed the hilt of the sword with her right hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "In this position, as long as I pass the hilt forward, this sword will pierce your heart. Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Dust tilted his head, "There is a piece of iron in front of my heart!"

"You..." Anna choked suddenly by Dust's anger. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths to stabilize her emotions and opened her eyes again.

"Forget it, I won't care about this kind of thing with you."

"So Princess, what do you want me to do in this position..."

"This class does not exist in the Seven Hills Empire. But I can give you an exception, and make a pledge as described in "Tabasa and the White Knights."

As soon as this sentence came out, even Dust realized what Anna was going to do.

Anna grabbed the hilt of the sword in Dust's hand and asked with a serious expression: "Dust, are you willing to be my knight and fight for me?"

Dust immediately lowered his head and replied seriously:

“Yes, your highness.”

"Are you willing to give up your selfish desires and turn them into swords and shields for the sake of the justice of the majority?"

“Yes, your highness.”

Anna pressed the tip of the sword on Dust's right shoulder, and then on her left shoulder.

"Darst. I, the first prince of the Seven Hills Empire, Anna Cornelia Scipio, hereby canonize you as my knight. From today on, the 'White Knight' is your official title."

Dust took the sword back from Anna and put it into his scabbard.

Anna tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes and tied them to Dust's chest: "Dust, I don't want to marry Rurik at all... I must win the duel tonight!"

...

The duel venue was a street that was cleaned up casually. Since Liurik did not make any noise, only a few pirates were watching as witnesses. On the side of the open space was the house where Liurik now lived. Anna lay on the balcony, staring anxiously at the situation in the venue.

Dust, holding a sword, came to Rurik.

"You actually came. I thought you were just trying to find a reason to escape."

Liurik plucked his palms a few times to show his respect for Dust, and then he took out his own warhammer.

"I will remind you in the end, I will not hold back. Once you take another step forward, the duel between us will be over until death. If you just want to show off, leave here immediately."

Dust shook his head and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Liulik, what are you talking about? I secretly tell you that I have learned swordsmanship with the sword saint on Antillia. If you are afraid, just surrender immediately. I have no reason to take your life."

"Mistine's sword technique?"

Liurik was obviously surprised. He came from the Pirate Kingdom, so he knew who the sword saint Dust mentioned was. For the pirates, Hunter Mistertin and the sword clan's sword skills were their eternal nightmare.

"This fool!" Anna cursed in her heart. She didn't know who Mistertin was, but through Liurik's reaction, she could roughly guess that she was a master of swordsmanship. But based on Dust's level of being kidnapped by undercover in the Island Republic, this sentence is mostly just a lie. Moreover, this lie will only have a counterproductive effect.

Sure enough, Liurik's attitude became more cautious.

"If this is a lie to scare me, then you're doing it very failed. Because it made me start to take it seriously."

Liurik dared not attack immediately. He put on his posture and watched Dust's every move seriously, trying to judge whether he was speaking through Dust's actions.

However, Dust did not show any stance to fight. He held the sword and moved to the right, and loosened his hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Come on, Liurik." Dust, empty-handed, hooked his finger at Liurik, "Try attacking me!"

How could Liurik bear such provocation? Seeing that Dust threw the sword, he threw the hammer in his hand back and rushed towards Dust with empty hands!

"Dust! Pay attention to dodging!" Anna shouted anxiously on the balcony, "Even if he doesn't use magic, you can't compare to him in terms of strength!"

However, Dust just stood quietly, waiting for Liurik to approach. Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps, nine steps, eight steps... everyone held their breath.

Anna's screams became more and more rapid: "Dust, move quickly! Move!"

Dasti looked at his head. Suddenly, he squatted down and picked up the sword thrown to the ground again!

"I didn't mention a word of using a sword! The hammer you threw away by yourself!"

Dust shouted, swung his sword and slashed towards Rurik.
