Chapter 242: The Child of the Favorite Woman
After hearing the guard's loud shout, Alyssa and Hazel, who had been having fun just now, immediately looked stern.
"Well, I understand."
Alyssa smiled helplessly after responding to the guard outside the tent.
"I didn't expect Mr. Albert to come so soon. Hazel, please put on your armor quickly. We are going to greet Mr. Albert now."
"Okay, okay!"
…
It was almost evening now, and the sun was already sinking into the horizon.
But even though the sun was about to set and there was no sunlight, it was still extremely hot.
Amidst the occasional hot wind, headed by Alyssa, the entire vanguard force, except for the knights and generals who were on duty, came to a place 7 miles away from the vanguard camp and waited. A large army led by Albert came.
As Alyssa's knight attendant, Hazel stood behind Alyssa, silently waiting for Albert's arrival.
Because he was the highest officer of the Central Route Army who was greeting them, he naturally could not just wear a piece of cloth to greet them casually.
Including Alyssa and Hazel, all the knights and generals who came to greet Albert still wore their armor neatly even in such a sultry weather.
The knights also wore each other's knight swords well.
Hazel, who was standing behind Alyssa, had seen Alyssa's exposed neck dripping with sweat from just now.
The sweat on her head slid down her neck under the influence of gravity, and then mixed with the sweat oozing out of her neck, and then slid together into Alyssa's upper body wrapped in armor.
Miss Alyssa's upper body clothes and bandages should have been wet with sweat...
——Looking at Alyssa who was sweating constantly, Hazel thought to herself.
It has been more than half a year since she was accepted as a knight's retinue by Alyssa, so Hazel already has some understanding of Alyssa.
She knew that Alyssa was most afraid of heat.
In such hot weather, having to be fully armed and armored is no different from torture to Alyssa.
Looking at Alyssa who was dripping with sweat, Hazel couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
So, Hazel took out a handkerchief of her own and wiped the sweat from the back of Alyssa's neck where beads of sweat were dripping down.
"Huh... thank you, Hazel." Alyssa turned her head slightly and cast her grateful eyes towards Hazel.
"You're welcome." Hazel smiled, "This is just what I should do."
Just as Hazel was wiping Alyssa's sweat - Albert finally arrived.
First, a cavalry galloped over to report to Alyssa that Albert had arrived, and then there were bursts of "rumbling" sounds of carriages and horses in the distance.
Then, flags slowly rose from the distant horizon, and bursts of yellow dust were also raised by the wind on the distant horizon.
Albert finally led the large troops of the Central Army over!
Seeing that Albert had finally arrived, everyone led by Alyssa quickly cheered up.
Hazel quickly put away the handkerchief she had just used to wipe Alyssa's sweat.
After Alyssa adjusted her armor one last time, she strode forward to greet him.
And Hai Rouer and others followed closely.
A procession of men and horses moved quickly forward to meet Albert.
At this moment, a team rushed out from the opposite team. The leader was wearing exquisite armor that was mainly blue and embellished with white, and had a blue knight's sword on his waist.
——It was Albert, the coach of the Central Army.
Albert took the lead and rushed over quickly. When he saw Alyssa coming to greet him respectfully, he immediately laughed loudly:
"Haha! Alyssa! Thank you for your hard work!"
"See the coach!"
As soon as I saw Albert,
Alyssa immediately and respectfully gave a military salute to Albert, and Hazel and others who were following Alyssa also immediately gave a military salute to Albert.
After seeing Alyssa give him a respectful military salute, Albert immediately dismounted and helped her, and then gave an inspiring speech to Alyssa and Hazel.
The main content is nothing more than praising the great victory won a few days ago and successfully finding traces of the main force of Luo Lin's army.
After the troops behind him followed up, Albert ended his speech, walked side by side with Alyssa, and led the knights and generals into the vanguard camp, intending to move the large troops of the center army in front of the vanguard camp. After the camp was set up, a feast was held to solemnly celebrate the hearty victory directed by Alyssa a few days ago.
Hazel looked at Alyssa who was walking with Albert and laughing happily with him, and couldn't help but murmured:
"The relationship between Miss Alyssa and Mr. Albert is so good..."
Hairou'er's murmur was not very loud, but it was not very quiet either.
It happened to be heard by a female knight standing next to her.
After hearing Hazel's murmur, the female knight couldn't help but smile, then turned her head and said to Hazel:
"Don't you know? The relationship between coach Albert and deputy coach Alyssa's family."
"Eh?" Hairou'er blinked twice in confusion.
Although she has been Alyssa's knight attendant for more than half a year, Hazel really doesn't know much about Alyssa's family affairs.
Alyssa never mentioned her family affairs much, and Hazel had no chance to ask Alyssa about her family affairs.
"I don't know." Hazel answered honestly, "Is Mr. Albert some relative of Miss Alyssa?"
"They are not relatives."
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the female knight's face.
"Did you know that Deputy Commander Alyssa's mother, Mr. Iser and Commander Albert were once called the three strongest people among the young generation of the Britannian Empire's military when they were young? ?”
"Ok, I know."
I just found out about this.
——Hai Rouer added silently in her heart.
"Then do you know that the three of them are actually very good friends in private?"
"Huh?" A look of astonishment flashed across Hairou'er's face, "This is the first time I've heard of this."
"Since you don't even know this, then -" the smile on the female knight's face became weirder, "then you must not know that Mr. Iser and Coach Albert, when they were young, They both like Deputy Commander Alyssa’s mother—Miss Abigail, the two of them were once love rivals, right?”
"Eh?!"
Hazel's eyes were wide open in shock.
"I really don't know this..."
"This is actually not a secret. Many people know this. When they were young, Mr. Iser and Coach Albert both liked Miss Abigail and had a crush on Miss Abigail. Launching a fierce pursuit.”
"It's just that Mr. Iser succeeded in capturing Miss Abigail's heart in the end, and finally married Miss Abigail and gave birth to Deputy Commander Alyssa."
"Although Coach Albert lost to Mr. Issel in the end, the two of them did not turn against each other."
"Albert did not resent Miss Abigail for not choosing him, nor did he resent Mr. Iser who won Miss Abigail's heart."
"After learning that Miss Abigail chose Mr. Iser, Albert accepted this fact calmly, and in the end he still had a very good relationship with Mr. Iser and Miss Abigail."
"So, for Coach Albert, Deputy Coach Alyssa is the child of his best friend, plus the child of his favorite woman."
"Of course I care a lot about Assistant Coach Alyssa. The relationship between Coach Albert and Assistant Coach Alyssa is naturally very good."
After listening to the female knight's news, which was very shocking to Hazel, Hazel turned her head and looked at Albert and Alyssa, who were already walking side by side a little far away from her. Whispered:
"I didn't expect that Mr. Albert and Miss Alyssa's parents have such a relationship with her..."
