R18 - Meeting With Bai Rouxue

This was public knowledge, so there was no need to hide it.

A hint of admiration flashed past Bai Rouxue's eyes. "It is quite admirable that Sir Eleven was able to protect the crown prince despite facing a grandmaster."

Sharky's face heated up. "To be honest, I wouldn't even be able to take a single one of her blows. The one who defeated her was his majesty."

Bai Rouxue smiled. "Sir Eleven is too humble. Surviving a grandmaster's sword unscathed is still something worth being proud of. Furthermore, I heard from the maids that it was because Sir Eleven fought valiantly that you were able to fend the enemies off unil his majesty arrived. That is why you are still the official with the most outstanding service."

"Bai Rouxue overpraised." Sharky was even starting to become swept along a bit. This woman was pretty, her voice was soothing, and everything she said made him feel good. It really was hard for his mind to not wander.
