I Became the First Love of the Impenetrable Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102

“If it’s Sir Elijah…”

“The vice-captain of the Guardian Knights.”

“The vice-captain himself will guard me?”

“I asked the captain of the Guardian Knights to assign someone capable to protect you, and Sir Elijah volunteered to take on your protection.”
