Night, Wintertown, Lords Mansion.
Levi’s room.
After being served by the maidservants to wash his body,
Levi lay down on the bed, preparing to rest.
Doing too many things today made him feel extremely exhausted.
Arranging the potato production line, disaster relief, solving the housing problem for refugees, testing equipment performance…
Indeed, being in a high position meant having way too many things to worry about.
There were even assassins lurking God knows where.
Levi yawned, then intended to turn off the lights and sleep.
He looked at the red-haired Female Knight Isabella, who was standing on guard in the corner of the room.
She was fully armed, with her hand even resting on the hilt of her sword, ready to be drawn at any moment.
“Alright, Isabella, this king is going to rest, you can go out.”
Unexpectedly, Isabella shook her head:
“Your Highness, forgive my disobedience; as long as the assassins are not eliminated for a day, this subordinate will not feel at ease.”
“What’s more, right now is precisely the time when the assassins have the greatest opportunity.”
“…You really won’t go out?”
Levi looked at Isabella’s rose-colored eyes with some helplessness.
Isabella nodded firmly.
“For your safety, I must stay by your side.”
Isabella had already affirmed Levi’s identity as her Lord.
Levi’s magic was definitely an existence capable of subverting the entire world.
But having a heart that wanted to save others was the most precious thing of all.
Perhaps one day, the lowest-class commoners would no longer die from not having enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, or a place to live.
She was willing to assist Levi until this day arrived.
Since she had already acknowledged her Lord, Isabella had no reason not to give it her all.
Let alone protecting Levi in the same room.
If it was truly necessary, she could even consider hiding inside Levi’s blanket and waiting for the assassins to make a move.
Everything takes the Lord’s safety as the top priority!
Such a dedicated Female Knight.
Seeing such a firm gaze from the Female Knight, Levi could only helplessly agree.
And indeed, as Isabella said, since that group of assassins had sneaked into Wintertown, they would definitely find an opportunity to strike.
The refugees’ problems had all been solved by him, so the assassins had no way to stir up chaos.
Then the assassination could only be carried out late at night when everything was quiet.
After all, it was impossible to remain vigilant forever.
Besides, with a beauty accompanying him, Levi felt that he might even be able to sleep more soundly.
He turned off the magic crystal energy lamp on the bedside table, and the room plunged into a burst of darkness.
Inside the quiet room,
Levi could even hear Isabella’s breathing.
What a truly wondrous experience.
Perhaps the sense of security from having someone protect him allowed Levi to completely relax.
His eyelids were heavy, and he was about to slowly fall asleep…
I don’t know how much time had passed.
“…”
Levi opened his eyes tiredly; in the pitch-black room, the girl’s undulating breathing could still be heard.
What was going on with not being able to fall asleep?
Levi found it somewhat strange.
He had clearly been lying on the bed for quite a while, and his sleepiness was also very heavy.
But he simply couldn’t fall asleep at all.
How bizarre.
Wait…
Levi suddenly remembered a very important setting in Minecraft.
When monsters are roaming around the player, the player cannot sleep.
Is it possible that because hostile units exist around him, this MC Features took effect?
Thinking of this, Levi’s sleepiness vanished instantly.
He didn’t get up, instead directly opening the inventory.
Quick-equipping, he directly put all four pieces of iron armor onto his body.
[Equipped: iron helmet, iron chestplate, iron leggings, iron boots]
The iron sword and shield were likewise held in Levi’s hands, one on the right and one on the left.
[Equipped: iron sword, shield]
After being fully armed, Levi’s sense of unease instantly vanished.
Indeed, fear stems from insufficient firepower and insufficient defense.
With defensive gear capable of effectively resisting the frontal attack of a Second-Order Knight, as well as an iron sword that cuts through iron like mud, and finally coupled with the conceptual deity shield of “all frontal physical attacks and projectiles completely invalidated”.
He didn’t choose to turn on the light, because the current situation was that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.
But the enemy didn’t know that Levi currently had a full set of armor prepared on his body, and had even switched to an iron sword and a shield.
This information gap was enough for Levi to gain an overwhelming advantage in the upcoming assassination operation.
After all, Isabella had evaluated that his physical strength had reached the standard of a Second-Order Knight.
And as far as Levi knew, the only existence with Third-Order strength by the side of Seventh Prince Richard was his personal bodyguard, Lancelot.
Richard couldn’t possibly have sent Lancelot over.
After all, if he dared to make a move against Levi, the other princes and princesses might not dare to make a move against Richard.
Therefore, the professionals coming to assassinate him were at most at the Second-Order level.
Levi’s eyes rolled around, and he formed a plan.
“Isabella?”
In the darkness, Levi softly called out Isabella’s name.
“Your Highness, you’re not asleep yet?”
Isabella was somewhat surprised; she had thought Levi was already asleep.
“Mm.”
While responding, Levi thought about how to make those assassins unable to hold back and launch a preemptive strike.
Soon, he figured out a way.
That was to let Isabella expose a flaw.
Of course, not literally a flaw in the literal sense.
But rather intentionally focusing Isabella’s attention from the outside onto himself.
In this way, the assassins would think this was an exceptionally good opportunity to assassinate him.
“I feel a bit uneasy, my heartbeat is very fast.”
Hearing his Lord’s words,
Isabella’s voice softened, even taking on a slightly affected cute tone:
“Rest assured, with me here, there won’t be any accidents, you can sleep at ease.”
Isabella herself felt it was a bit too deliberate.
Good thing the room was pitch black, otherwise the shameful blush on her face would probably be seen at a glance.
I’m really sorry, I only know how to fight, and have no idea how to comfort people at all.
Levi naturally chimed in with another line:
“I’m a bit thirsty, help me pour a glass of water.”
“Alright.”
Isabella walked over to the magic guide lamp, subconsciously extending her right hand, which had originally been resting on the scabbard, to turn on the light.
Just at this moment, an abnormality suddenly arose.
Bang!
The window was shattered instantly.
Several dark figures took advantage of the night to burst into Levi’s bedroom all at once.
And as if deliberately trying to create a dark environment, hearing only a series of clattering noises, all the magic guide lamps in the room were smashed to pieces by unknown ranged means.
The room plunged into complete darkness.
Only by borrowing a trace of moonlight could the silhouettes of the seven intruders be seen.
“Sixth Prince, please go to your death!”
The assassins who wanted to turn Levi into a bounty rushed fiercely toward the bed where Levi was.
Isabella reacted instantly, battle qi instantly wrapping around her whole body, and the fiery red battle qi surged in an instant.
“Enemy attack! Your Highness, watch out!”
