"Miss Hibel, Count Theodore and I are cherished friends. Our friendship began, let's see... on a snowy winter a few years ago. That morning, the sun was shining brightly, and I was having breakfast.
I still remember that sausage was hot and spicy...
Oh... I just remembered I have something else to attend to. As for how I met the Count, I'll tell you all about it when I have time."
Yan Xing casually brushed Hibel off. After all, he couldn't make up a story on the spot.
Hibel looked at Yan Xing with a peculiar expression. She knew all her father's friends and had never heard him mention such a young one. Moreover, it was obvious that Yan Xing was visiting Newcast City for the first time. How could he possibly know her father? It simply didn't make sense.
Since Yan Xing wouldn't say, Hibel asked again, "Then why did my father ask me to protect you and teach you Knight skills? You are clearly so strong! Do you really need my protection?"
