72 Chapter 72 – Rania’s Progress [2]

As we arrived at the restaurant, I booked a private room and paid for it upfront. Because we only needed to talk for a while, I only booked the room for an hour.

We sat side by side this time, and we didn't order any drinks as I knew Rania could get drunk easily. That wouldn't do. If I wanted to have a duel right after this, I wouldn't let her have any excuse for losing against me.

"So, Arthur. What do you want to talk about with me? You sounded a bit serious." Rania spoke first, asking with a curious tone.

"It might be a difficult choice for you," I replied, looking at her. "I am creating a knight squad, and I want to invite you, Rania."

Her jaw dropped as she looked at me, shocked, "Me?" She pointed at herself, still confused. "I am the former Knight Commander, a Royal Knight, you know? You know the relationship between the Royal house and the church lately. Even if the church allowed it, the Royal Family might not."
