Freya leaned in close, the faint scent of white tea on her was even more apparent, lingering around Su Li, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.
So to her inquiry, Su Li replied with a faint smile, "Is it really necessary to know the exact reason? Whichever you want it to be, it can be. The wager is the key, isn’t it?"
"I can’t tell the outco of this battle. But as for the wager with Knight Commander Freya, I can certainly guess."
Freya raised her sharp eyebrows and asked, "Doesn’t the outco matter? You said, my lord, that you would never take part in a wager without knowing the outco."
Su Li smiled knowingly, lifted the teacup in his hand to her, but did not answer.
When an ice-cold beauty takes the initiative to propose a wager, does the outco still matter?
Upon seeing this, Freya crossed her arms over her chest, accentuating her full and enticing bosom, her curves full and graceful, matching her ice-cold deanor, drawing all eyes.
"So if the outco doesn’t matter, then it’s the second reason? My lord, you agreed to give special treatnt?"
Su Li smiled and said, "Since Knight Freya likes to guess so much, how about I guess as well, that the wager is about a knight’s advancent, isn’t it?"
Freya’s icy blue eyes stared at Su Li, scrutinizing for a few seconds, then spoke slowly, "Is this your prophetic ability telling you, or did you guess it?"
Su Li’s lips curved slightly upward, "If it were the prophetic ability, then I’d know the outco."
Freya’s cold face softened a little, and her eyes, clear as a cold spring, reflected Su Li’s image clearly, "It’s rumored that you are wise and brilliant, my lord, indeed it’s not false. Yes, I want to ask about breakthroughs. The territorial knights all say you can help knights break through quickly."
So Su Li leaned back into his chair, legs crossed, looked at Freya calmly, and asked, "The wager should be mutual, right? If Leader Freya loses, what will you offer?"
Freya bit her lip lightly, saying calmly, "Since it’s a wager, it should be proposed by you, my lord, shouldn’t it?"
Su Li’s heart raced imdiately, seeing such a cold beauty lightly biting her lip, appearing ready to be at one’s rcy, who could possibly resist?
But Su Li knew very well, if he exposed his intentions too quickly, it would be easy to fail.
A high-level hunter often appears in the form of prey.
So Su Li took a deep breath of the faint aroma around him and said, "If I lose, I’ll tell you the secret behind the rumor of my ability to help knights break through quickly. If I win, then Leader Rephya will serve as the Deputy Leader of the Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order for a while. Hilude, as the Chief Steward, has too many political matters to handle recently, and the Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order needs a champion-level Deputy Leader."
In Freya’s cold gaze, there appeared a trace of bewildernt, for the first ti she felt failure of her charm on a man.
She knew very well, this lord’s principle was never to have emotional entanglents with his female knight subordinates.
If he was willing to invite her to serve as the leader of the Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order, it ant he harbored no wrongful thoughts about her.
Although she despised others who lusted after her beauty, when a man actually had no thoughts about her, she instead felt puzzled, was her charm truly inferior to the female courtiers of the territory?
And Su Li, of course, would not waste this mont of her wavering heart, before she continued reflecting, Su Li asked, "Ladies first, which knight will Knight Freya bet on?"
Freya quickly gathered her emotions, looked at Su Li, and said, "Of course, I’d bet on the knight of our Knight Order."
"Then I’ll bet on the knight of our Red Night Knight Order."
With that, Su Li turned his head with a smile and continued watching the fierce contest in the field, not sparing another glance for the champion-level female knight by his side.
This made Freya clench her right fist under her gown, this man was really high and mighty!
Freya had a feeling of being overlooked, a rare man she acknowledged in terms of wisdom, strength, and deanor, yet this man didn’t even deign to spare her a glance, with her pride, how could she be calm? How could she be inferior to the female courtiers of the territory?
Before Freya’s cold and icy exterior-shielded volcano could erupt, the intense conflict in the field had already reached a conclusion.
The knight from the Corona Knight Order, with a Wildfire Slash, directly cut through the Red Night Knight’s wooden shield with a training long halberd, and the Blazing Fla Slash even burned through the fine heavy plate armor, causing the opponent’s arm to be severely scorched.
Continuing the fight, it was evident that without the shield, the Sword and Shield Knight was no match for the Corona Knight. He fought brilliantly in this battle, but the mbers of the Corona Knight Order were entirely illogical. His stamina was so abundant it seed almost wasteful.
The knight of the Red Night Knight Order still needed to think about attack, defense, and breathing, while the knight of the Corona Knight Order only needed to attack, attack, and attack again.
The Dragon Blood Stone he bore provided imnse physical prowess and endurance, which were overwhelming, resulting in the collapse of the Red Night Knight Order’s defense.
