Alien Knights

March 13, 1174, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Twilight City, sister hotel.

"Don't crowd! Don't crowd! I've said it! There are no more rooms in the hotel today!"

Karin Foreman, who was so busy, flipped through the notepad in her hand, and yelled at the surging crowd in front of the hotel bar: "I'll say it again! All the rooms in the hotel have been reserved until next week, and there are no more rooms available for rent!"

There was a burst of discontented boos from the crowd.

Someone held up the money bag in his hand and said loudly: "We are the Seven Eyes Chamber of Commerce from the East. My master only needs one room, and we can pay three times the price!"

Karin rolled her eyes helplessly: "Don't say three times, some people are even willing to pay ten times, and I can't make room."

A young knight in gorgeous armor squeezed desperately to the front of the bar, and said to Karin, "I am a knight guard of the Kingdom of Holloway. The king's chariot is right outside the door. We request three rooms..."

Karin pointed to the top of her head angrily: "Look at the top of your head, there are at least ten kings living in this hotel!"

Pamela, who was sweating profusely, poked her head out from the back kitchen: "Sister Karin, the ingredients in the kitchen are almost running out."

Karin raised her head angrily when she heard this, picked up a piece of pen with her hand, and threw it into the back kitchen room.

In an instant, amidst people's exclamations, Karin disappeared into the bar counter and teleported into the kitchen.

Looking at the empty food trough, Karin rubbed the center of her brows with a headache: "Have you finished eating poultry, seafood, and mountain products?!"

Pamela nodded: "When I bought the goods on Monday, I originally prepared ten days' worth, but I didn't expect to eat them all after three days."

Karin closed the lid of the food trough firmly, and said to Pamela, "Go to the North Island Knights to find the deputy head Jerry, and buy some of the rations stored in the army from him..."

Before the words fell, a woman's scream came from the lobby, which caught Karin's attention.

Walking out of the back kitchen, she saw a waitress of a different race holding her buttocks and glaring at a drunk customer. Karin instantly understood what was going on.

"Cosette!" Karin pointed at the guest who was about to go mad with alcohol, and shouted angrily, "Shock him hard!"

A burst of dazzling lightning, accompanied by a scream, made the entire noisy hotel quiet in an instant.

Karin combed her messy hair with her fingers, walked to the back of the bar, and said softly to the silent guests: "Excuse me, is there anything else I can do to help you?"

And in another place in the kingdom - "Come Tomorrow" tavern, a conversation is going on.

Cumberland and Emerson, dressed in disguise, sat at the table in the innermost corner of the tavern, quietly drinking ale and eating snacks.

Cumberland looked at the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd in the tavern, and asked with a grin: "In my impression, there have never been so many people in Muxi City."

Hearing the loud voices beside his ears, Emerson frowned and said, "The founding ceremony of the Protestant Church will be on Monday next week. After the ceremony, there will be a ten-day "Holy Sacrifice Celebration". So many people poured into the city to watch the ceremony. Therefore, it is understandable that there are so many people."

"If our war in the Holy Acropolis hadn't ended well, there probably wouldn't be so many people coming to join in the fun." Cumberland threw a piece of fried fish into his mouth and snorted disdainfully.

Emerson glanced sideways at his old friend: "Are you boasting when you say this?"

Cumberland took another sip of his ale: "The longer I live, the more I see. I'm already past the age of talking."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Cumberland stared at Emerson and said, "I want to ask you, what about your Majesty's affairs?"

The latter was looking at the two young men in the center of the tavern who were wrestling their arms, and answered absent-mindedly, "Your Majesty's matter? Which matter?"

"Heir!"

Cumberland thumped the table angrily, and the volume increased by three points.

Seeing someone looking here, Emerson quickly reminded him to keep his voice down.

Cumberland lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has no children yet, what should the kingdom do in the future?"

Emerson sighed helplessly: "We have discussed this matter many times before."

"Damn it! I know!" Cumberland growled depressingly, "Now that I think about it, as long as His Majesty is willing, it doesn't matter who the child's biological mother is... Even if His Majesty is interested in that woman whose origin is unknown, I don't intend to stop her, as long as she can give birth to His Majesty's child."

Emerson looked at Cumberland and whispered, "After the establishment of the Protestant Church, Your Majesty will become the Pope. You should know that according to the doctrine..."

"Yes, I know, I know. The pope, as the spokesperson of God, cannot marry a wife." Cumberland's eyes widened: "But there is no explicit provision in the doctrine that the pope can't have sex with women! That stupid ass pope in Taylor city, I can't count the number of mistresses I have with two hands, don't tell me you don't know!"

Emerson shook his head embarrassingly: "You should correct your speaking problems, you don't know how to be tactful at all."

"Fart! A stick with a hole in it! You need a shitty trick!" Cumberland's forehead was full of veins: "Your Majesty is alone, with no relatives and no heirs. If anything happens, the entire Muxi City will be ruined!"

Emerson nodded slightly: "You are right. Even if Your Majesty becomes the Pope, if you can have an heir, even an illegitimate child, it is very important to Muxi City."

Cumberland grinned: "Since you said this, I'll take it as if you agree with me. Now let's discuss it. Regarding His Majesty's mistress, this is what I think..."

Emerson: "..."

"Ah!"

In Muxi Cathedral, Todd was wearing a set of pure platinum-rimmed Holy Order robes, stood on the podium, and sneezed loudly.

Huggins immediately brought a cloak and asked Todd, "Your Majesty, it's still early spring, and it's still a bit cold at night. Please put this on."

Todd declined Huggins' kindness, and turned to Brother Joe and said, "What's wrong with the rehearsal just now?"

Joe held an ancient book in both hands, and said while reading: "Your Majesty, when you step on the steps, you can walk slowly; when you recite the prayer, start with the tone of your voice."

Todd nodded while listening: "Then let's do it again, try not to make any deviations, and make sure the ceremony is correct."

Huggins interrupted the rehearsal in a low voice, and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, look."

Todd looked forward, and Rachel, who was dressed in a black travel suit, stood at the door of the cathedral and looked at him.

"Everyone take a break first." Todd stepped off the pulpit and came to Rachel's side.

The latter looked at the rehearsal battle and said softly: "You don't have to go through so much trouble at all. Even if you put on your everyday casual clothes and walk around twice casually, you can still get everyone's cheers and praises."

Todd smiled and shook his head: "The meaning is different."

Rachel tilted her head, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you going to try your best to make a good impression on the public?"

Todd didn't answer this question, but asked another thing: "Are you still unwilling to talk to me about your original identity?"

Rachel shook her head mockingly: "It doesn't make any sense to talk about that now, I came to see you today to say goodbye..."

"Farewell? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find an answer, an answer that explains who I really am."

Todd stared into Rachel's eyes, and when he was about to speak, the other party rushed to say: "You don't have to worry about my safety, as I have said before, no one can do better than me in terms of how to protect yourself."

"What about the Alien Association? You left, what will they do?"

"I have handed over the power of the president to Karin. Over the past few years, she has learned how to deal with matters related to heterogeneity, and she can completely take charge of it alone."

Rachel walked up to Todd, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and kissed his lips lightly: "Promise me, take good care of yourself before we meet again."

Rachel gave Todd a last reluctant look, then turned around resolutely, got on the horse, and rode off into the distance.
