Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Do You Desire To Become A Knight

At the dining table, Godfrey pondered. It must have taken Ronald a lot of time and mana to do what he did.

His mother served chicken noodle soup. The sight of the soup made Godfrey’s eyes involuntarily widen as his lips curled up. He actually loved his mother’s homemade chicken noodle soup and she prepared it occasionally, ensuring he wanted more every time it hit the table.

A clever strategy, it worked and made a soft smile appear on his face. He instinctively reached for the hot sauce bottle only to see his father was doing the same thing.

They both froze, fingers inches away from the bottle.

Godfrey’s eyes went to his mother who covered her mouth with one folded hand while squinting in amusement.

’She did this intentionally.’ He looked at his father who withdrew his hand, scooped his soup and drank stiffly. It was obvious he didn’t enjoy it without the hot sauce, just like him.

Godfrey scowled inwardly but took the hot sauce and placed it in front of his father—Ronald.

He rose to his feet. "I’m going for a walk."

"But you haven’t even touched your food!" Valentina stood up, alarmed.

"I’m not hungry." On his way to the door, Valentina grabbed his arm. "I’ll be waiting for you to come back."

"I will."

After leaving the house, Godfrey went straight to Victoria’s gym. The place was shut but he could hear grunts inside. He tried recalling what the place looked like and teleported.

Inside the gym, he saw Victoria in the ring training against a phantom opponent. There was no one here apart from her and most of the equipment was gone, making the gym look like a large, almost vacant hall now.

"What’s going on?"

His voice made Victoria’s head snap in his direction. "Godfrey!" She uttered his name in astonishment.

She stepped out of the ring, unstrapped her gloves and embraced him. Godfrey’s arms went around her back while her own were around his neck.

After a while, Victoria took a step back, tilting her head at the young man who was now taller than her. She was quite tall for a woman, boasting an impressive height of 183cm.

Isolde was also tall but Victoria took it to the next level, unfortunately even she had to look up to a 191cm tall Godfrey.

"Almost nineteen and you’re already U.S.’s first paragon." Victoria smiled, brushing her hair back.

"Did you close down the gym? There’s barely any equipment here."

"I had to make enough money. I’m planning to move away, maybe find something that would suit me more than this, maybe somewhere beyond paradise. The only issue is that I’m a fugitive so—"

"What?" Godfrey interrupted her.

Victoria tilted her head with a soft, broken smile that revealed a bit of her pain. "I’ve been training to be a bodyguard before I knew how to read, Godfrey. It’s all I’ve ever known or done. I turned against my previous boss and lost my summon, I’m not a bodyguard, in fact I’m the one that needs protection."

Godfrey remained silent. She must have held all these emotions inside all this time.

"I know you want me to belong to the family but I just can’t, I’m sorry. My place there was as a bodyguard, if I can’t do that, if I can’t afford the barest minimum of strength in a world like ours then I can’t be who I was trained to be."
