Chapter 122

Garrow and Ulyseon abandoned the drake carcass they were fussing over and hastened to her side.

A knight retrieving a heavy ball and chain looped around the leg of one of the monsters clicked his tongue loudly. "You two better get your heads on straight. Getting distracted from guarding her ladyship while those vultures are circling…"

"Our apologies, sir. This is the first time we've seen a drake up close…"

Ulyseon turned to Maxi apologetically, looking embarrassed as he scratched his head. Maxi smiled to reassure him. She did not think anything could have happened to her with so many knights around.

As if reading her thoughts, the knight who had admonished the squires grew grim. "We do not know what dangers might be lurking, my lady. A moment of carelessness can cost a life."

Maxi nodded stiffly, and even the squires' faces grew serious.

"Never take your eyes off of her ladyship from now on."
