Chapter 20: Rose Knight Hall X Lesbian Knight

The meal concluded in a strange atmosphere.

It was the first time Little Will had witnessed a beautiful woman flirting with another beautiful woman, and the one being flirted with was his own mother.

Touching her small hands, wrapping an arm around her waist, and leaning in to take deep breaths near his mother—she was a complete female pervert.

His father, on the other hand, glared with an expression that suggested he wanted to devour someone, but he truly couldn’t beat her.

This was why he disliked her so much, and why he had never invited her to their home before.

Jasmine and Jazzy were best friends and classmates from both junior and senior academies.

They were inseparable friends, sharing a deep bond, but their ultimate choices in life differed.

Jazzy, from a lawyer’s family, became an accomplished lady and was eventually taken by the “hideous Florete Deklan,” a vibrant flower plucked.

Jasmine, from a family of city hall officials, chose to become Jazzy’s protector, a rare female knight.

Perhaps her talent was truly exceptional, or perhaps she had access to vast resources from her family, but Jasmine awakened her Dou Qi seed early.

Her path of cultivation was remarkably smooth, and she quickly became a renowned Senior Knight in Drakon.

It was while she was away on an expedition to hone her strength, not by Jazzy’s side, that Florete seized the opportunity and claimed the beautiful flower.

Jasmine never showed Florete Deklan a pleasant face.

How could the beautiful flower she had protected for over a decade be stolen just like that?

Because of this, she would challenge him to duels every few days, beat Florete into a pulp, and then bring Jazzy to see him.

However, the ultimate result was that it only hastened Jazzy and Florete’s union.

Jasmine could only feel silently heartbroken, powerless to stop it.

She loved beautiful women, and she loved the gentle Jazzy, but Jazzy was a normal girl.

She preferred handsome, dashing, and strong men, and Florete, a Junior Knight, basically fit the bill.

Unable to do anything about Jazzy, Jasmine could only continually vent her resentment on Florete.

And while Florete wasn’t particularly strong, he wasn’t a pushover either; he fought with courage and determination.

Even though he was beaten black and blue every time, he would bravely confront her again the next time he was provoked.

Perhaps it was Florete’s unyielding spirit and tenacity that moved Jasmine, as she gradually reduced the frequency of her tormenting him.

Once Jazzy became Mrs. Deklan, Jasmine also began her own professional career.

Life always held some helplessness for Jasmine.

She seemed uninterested in men and instead had a soft spot for beautiful women, often frequenting bars to flirt with them.

As for men who tried to flirt with her, she would simply break their arms and legs.

After all, they wouldn’t die, and getting treated by a priest at the church didn’t cost much.

Indeed, for a wealthy woman like her, it wasn’t much, but for others, it might not be the case.

A single treatment from a priest started at least at ten gold coins, and more severe injuries could cost hundreds.

After a simple meal, Jasmine kissed Jazzy’s fair hand before reluctantly leaving with Florete and Little Will.

Outside the Deklan family mansion, a luxurious carriage was parked, and the middle-aged coachman was surprisingly also a knight.

Little Will had never ridden in such a lavish carriage; its interior decoration was exquisite and opulent.

Seeing Little Will’s reserved demeanor, Jasmine couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

“Little one, you are much quieter than your father, and you have better taste.

It seems Jazzy has raised you very well.

I’ve heard all about your aspirations from Jazzy, that you plan to be the first student to graduate with all-honors from the Mildis Junior Academy.

Haha, that’s a great achievement your mother herself didn’t accomplish.

I hope you won’t disappoint her.

As for being a genius in knight training, haha, she once described your useless father that way too.”

“My temper!” Florete almost couldn’t resist smashing the carriage directly.

“For my son, for my wife, I’ll endure!”

“Heh heh, it seems you’ve been living quite comfortably these past few years, to have restrained yourself,” Jasmine said, feeling a little bored that she hadn’t managed to provoke Florete in front of Jazzy.

She then turned her gaze to Little Will.

“Little one, you’ve been training as a knight for about two weeks now, haven’t you?

Do you feel like you’ve gotten much stronger?”

“Yes.” This wasn’t Little Will’s imagination; he had genuinely grown stronger.

His body data was still stored with the proxy elf, and in just two weeks, his strength, agility, and physique had almost doubled.

However, at this stage, it had become extremely difficult for him to make further improvements.

His age was a factor; he would have to spend time on it.

Even so, he was confident he could become an official knight within a year.

As for whether the Dou Qi seed could be activated, was that something to worry about?

With the help of a deity, anything was possible.

“Oh, so confident, are we?

I hope you can maintain that state later.

I have high hopes for you, you know.” Jasmine winked, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

“Today, I’m taking you to my Knight’s Guildhall, a relatively private place.

In principle, no men other than Senior Knights are allowed inside, but since Jazzy pleaded with me, I’m making a special exception for you both today.

If Little Will can’t satisfy me, this will be your last time inside.

If he can, then you can come here to train every holiday until you become a Junior Knight.”

Little Will turned to look at Florete and quietly asked, “Father, should I deliberately perform poorly?”

“Little Will, listen carefully.

Knight duels are a very serious matter.

Holding back is disrespectful to others.

Give it your all and show those young ladies that knighthood is a man’s profession.

Girls are better off learning flower arranging.

Oh, and by the way, some girls have pretty faces, but the flowers they arrange are more abstract than wild grass.

Such hopeless cases are best left alone.” Florete not only ordered Little Will not to hold back but to give it his all.

Just how much animosity did he have towards Jasmine?

“Heh heh, has our flower-protecting knight become a flower-destroying knight now that he has a wife?

If Jazzy heard such words, she would surely be heartbroken.” Jasmine watched the father and son with a knowing smile, a hint of disdain in her expression.

“The Rose Knight’s Guildhall is my private guildhall, which I established five years ago.

It has over fifty female aspiring knights training here, and two have officially advanced to knights.

We recruit no more than ten knight apprentices each year.

Those who can enter here are considered rare female talents in Drakon City.

Little Will, are you sure you want to listen to your father and duel them fairly?

Today is a holiday, so at least thirty knight apprentices will be here.

Do you want to try challenging them?

If you can achieve ten consecutive victories, there will be an unexpected reward.”

The Rose Knight’s Guildhall was not in a remote location; in fact, it was in the wealthy district, with a better plot of land than even the Deklan family’s home.

Without a certain status and background, one couldn’t reside here, yet Jasmine owned a considerably large private knight’s guildhall here, which made her family background quite suspicious.

“Don’t look at me like that.

Although my family background is much, much stronger than yours, you useless knight, this private knight’s guildhall was obtained through my own strength as a Senior Knight and my contributions to Drakon City, not a single copper coin related to my family members.”

Jasmine scoffed, pouting her lips.

“They even tried to cut off my financial resources to force me to marry.

Hmph, I can only say they were overthinking it.

I’m actually doing better without them.

Spending every day surrounded by young girls is much more comfortable than being with stinky men like you.

Marriage, hmph, don’t even think about me getting married in this lifetime.

Hmm, if I were to marry a pretty young lady, that might be something to consider.”

Listening to the unrestrained remarks of this lesbian Senior Knight, Little Will found it unacceptable.

The traditional concepts his mother had instilled in him seemed completely ineffective with Jasmine.

Seeing the two female mercenary guards at the guildhall entrance, the female receptionist, and the female aspiring knights freely entering and exiting, Little Will felt a little uneasy.

It was as if he had arrived in a land of women.

His father, on the other hand, wore an expression of utter disdain, expressing his heartfelt contempt for turning the Knight’s Guildhall into a women’s salon.

“Student Will, what are you doing here?!” A familiar voice startled Little Will.

“Oh no, a familiar face?!”
