Chapter 705: Chapter 328 Prince_3
Leon discovered that there was a burst of ecstatic joy and excitement in Treya’s eyes, as if a heavy burden had been lifted?
“Master!!” Treya’s surprised voice rang out crisp and clear.
The female knight excitedly swung herself nimbly off the saddle, holding her sword with a joyful expression, like a swallow darting over, completely ignoring the tense and alert Athias soldiers beside her, while her armor clanged.
The horse under Leon was startled by the excitedly approaching female knight and took half a step back.
The Athias cavalry beside her looked at each other, unsure of whether they should intervene.
And Leon himself, on horseback, was slightly taken aback by the girl’s sudden title.
Several Sea Eagle Knights realized what was happening, each turning to look at Leon, and upon seeing his face clearly, they showed relieved smiles.
Watching the local knights’ reaction, Kovis at the front turned to evaluate the unexpected situation, a brief contemplation leading to a realization, and he gestured for the Athias warriors to sheath their weapons back under their cloaks.
Treya ran to her long-lost lord’s horse, excitedly half-kneeling to salute, and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
“Finally found you, Master, where have you been all this time? You disappeared all of a sudden without a word, everyone was going crazy with worry.” Treya raised her head, sighing and asking.
“Wait… wait… wait a minute, Miss Treya, what did you call me? ‘Master’?” Leon was surprised.
Treya tilted her head.
She was baffled by her lord’s sudden question, not understanding why he was using a distant honorific they hadn’t employed in years.
“…What’s wrong? Is there something inappropriate?” Treya’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Thoughts flashed through Leon’s mind like lightning.
He instantly realized that perhaps she was addressing the Leon of this world, mixing up the two.
Leon looked toward the Sea Eagle Knights dismounting one by one in the distance, feeling a bit enlightened.
So it turns out that in this world, he also made a name for himself?
Miss Treya didn’t become Olivia’s disciple and attendant, but instead became his attendant in this world?
But then, why hasn’t anyone heard of his name along the way?
Leon withdrew his gaze, composed himself, immediately dismounted, and helped Treya, who was half-kneeling on the ground, to her feet.
“Please stand up first, Miss Treya, the situation might be a bit complicated. I can’t explain it now, but regardless of who the me you know is, I am not the Leon you know.”
Leon decided to be open and honest from the start, not daring to rashly assume a parallel world’s identity.
If by any chance the other “self” considered him an “imposter” and a conflict arose, it would be a huge trouble to create enemies out of nowhere.
Treya’s pretty face wrinkled with question marks in her eyes.
“What? What? What?… I don’t understand what you’re saying at all, Master…
And, what do you mean by the Leon I know? Leon, who’s that?
The name sounds a bit like yours; is it a nickname of yours?”
Leon was momentarily stunned.
No wonder no one has heard of “him” along the way at all.
So in this world, he didn’t use his original name at all?
By now, a few Sea Eagle Knights had already walked directly over.
Leon looked at them, just about to ask what his name was in this world…
“—Your Highness Prince, please forgive our lateness.”
The Sea Eagle Knights thumped their chests in salute while clutching their battle helmets.
Leon was once more stunned by the title, words lodged in his throat.
Before the people before him could speak again, he swiftly raised a hand: “Hold on, everyone, let me sort things out slowly first.”
Leon then probed into his identity in the other self’s eyes: “To you, who exactly am I?”
Treya couldn’t help but lean her neck forward, her lord’s words making her eyes swirl with confusion.
“In our eyes… who are you?”
The lead Sea Eagle Knight furrowed his brows at this odd question.
He suddenly glanced at the wizards around, reached for the sword hilt at his waist, his face turning cold.
“Could it be these magicians have tampered with your memory?”
“No, they are not the enemy. My memory is very clear. Answer my question first! Who exactly am I?”
Leon placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, speaking with an indisputable tone.
“….Alright, as you command.”
The North Realm Knight dared not defy, reluctantly withdrawing his hand from the sword hilt, returning his gaze, and bowed slightly:
“You are the Grand Duke ruling the North, the leader of us Sea Eagle Knights!
You are also the true Queen of Orland, consort to Her Majesty Princess Ines, ——Prince Leon Zangson.”
…Leon’s mouth opened slightly, remaining ajar for a long time….
He slowly scratched his head.
Suddenly feeling an obvious gaze.
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Leon instinctively looked back.
Not far away, leaning on a carriage box with her chin in hand, the mesmerizing gaze of Princess Ines beneath the hood was fixed intently upon him.
In those beautiful emerald eyes, an indescribable brilliance flickered…
