Bexia was escorted by two soldiers for about four or five minutes. Finally, he was taken to a small house where the soldiers pressed him onto a chair used for interrogating prisoners and locked his hands with chains. Sitting across from him was a young officer of the kingdom's army.

"What is your name?" the officer began the interrogation directly.

"Bexia."

"What is your age?"

"I'll be sixteen in two months."

"Really? You don't look that old."

"I can't help it. I've always been a little small."

"What is your occupation?"

"I used to be a shepherd, but I'm not herding anymore."

"So you're unemployed?"

"Sort of... I guess."

"Let's get to the point then. Who sent you to the kingdom of Asman?"

"Sir, I'm not a spy, and no one sent me to the kingdom of Asman." Bexia tried to explain his origins.

"Then how did you come to the capital city?"

"I came with my sister, Ophelia. She is a student at the Royal Academy."

"You said who?"

"My sister, Ophelia."

"Bold of you to slander Her Highness, the princess. I think you're a spy."

Originally, Bexia only hoped to solve the problem with the facts, but he didn't expect the officer's reaction to be so unexpected, and it seemed that he had heard something incredible:

Ophelia, his sister, turned out to be the princess of the kingdom, the daughter of the current king!

However, Bexia wasn't particularly convinced. He thought it might just be a namesake or a similar sounding name.

"I'm not lying. I really came with Ophelia, but she doesn't seem to be any princess."

"You dare to argue with me? You, a commoner, could never have any relationship with the princess..."

The officer was about to explode, but at that moment, urgent knocking came from the door.

"Come in!"

"Sir!"

A soldier came in and saluted the officer. Seeing the soldier's anxious appearance, the officer couldn't help asking.

"What happened? What are you so surprised about?"

"Reporting, Princess Ophelia has arrived."

"Which princess?"

"Princess Ophelia, the first princess!"

"What!?" The officer couldn't figure out why the first princess suddenly came to the prison. He subconsciously glanced at Bexia but shook his head. He thought that there was no way this pauper could have any connection with the princess. It would be better to go out and greet Princess Ophelia first.

"Let's go out to greet the first princess!"

"No need to trouble yourselves, I'm already here."

A familiar voice sounded at the door. Ophelia walked in, dressed in luxurious clothing, followed by a group of prison officers.

"Salute to Her Highness the princess!"

The officer immediately stood up straight, pounded his chest with his right hand, and paid his respects.

"...Ophelia, sister!" Bexia looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Ophelia and hesitated before softly calling out.

"Release him now. How dare you arrest my people!"

Ophelia's tone was calm, but anyone could sense her anger. She was already annoyed by something before coming back, and upon hearing that Bexia had been arrested, it further irritated her.

"What are you waiting for?" A middle-aged officer immediately signaled a soldier standing by to release Bexia.

"Ophelia, sister!"

"Let's talk outside first."

Ophelia reached out and grabbed Bexia's arm. The people in the prison were from another faction of nobles, and if it weren't for Bexia being here, she wouldn't bother coming at all.

As the first princess and one of the future inheritors of the kingdom, Ophelia could not be stopped by anyone. They left the prison together, and Bexia wanted to ask something but couldn't find the words.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little bit."

"Then let's go eat first."

Ophelia pulled Bexia directly into a restaurant. She had prepared a private room and casually ordered a few small dishes. Once the waiter left, only the two of them remained in the room."Sorry, Ophelia sister, for troubling you."

"I should be the one saying that. I should have come to see you yesterday, but some things got in the way..."

Ophelia's voice became quieter as she spoke, and the atmosphere became eerie.

"You won't treat me differently just because I'm a princess, right?"

"Why would I? Bexia immediately shook his head.

"It's just that I never expected it."

"I've told you before, you just didn't believe it."

Ophelia laughed lightly. On their way to the imperial capital, she had mentioned that she was a princess, but Bexia thought she was joking and even replied, "Then I must be a god."

But looking back now, how could he have believed that Ophelia was a princess at that time?

"I wanted to thank you properly, but because of certain reasons, I can't make my injury public this time, so the reward I wanted to give you may not be as big as you expected..."

"But I will try to compensate you as much as I can."

"Ophelia sister, when I saved you, I didn't know you were a princess, and I didn't save you for a reward. So let's not make it awkward with these formalities."

Bexia shook his head. He really had no interest in any rewards. What he wanted most was to regain his memories. He always felt like he had forgotten something very, very important.

"I knew I didn't misjudge you, sister Ophelia."

"Did Ophelia sister just test me?"

"No, everything I said was true. Originally, I wanted to reward you with the title of Honorary Baron for saving me, but I cannot make it known because of the danger I encountered. So the public reward I wanted to give you is gone, but I will compensate you privately."

"Compensation is not necessary, Ophelia sister. You have already helped me a lot."

"I can't accept that. Otherwise, I would feel uneasy, and you already called me sister, how can I not take care of my little brother?"

Is that so? Bexia thought to himself that he seemed to have taken advantage of the situation.

But he could also tell that Ophelia was sincere, so he remained silent and did not refuse her.

"The title of Honorary Baron is not something sister can decide, so I can't give it to you."

Ophelia gently touched the bracelet on her wrist and magically produced a golden emblem, which she handed to Bexia.

"Sister can only give you the Medal of the Royal Guard, although it's not noble..."

"Thank you, Ophelia sister!"

Bexia picked up the emblem, on which was engraved a pattern of a staff and a sword crossing, and on the back was a special pattern he had seen on the statue of the Mage King Tutankhamun-Asman before. It was the emblem of the Asman Kingdom.

However, Bexia had no idea what a Royal Guard was. He had only heard of the title of knight, which nobles bestowed on commoners as a form of recognition. It could also be considered as a semi-noble position, and that's what he thought.

But the Royal Guard given by Ophelia was different from the knight titles bestowed by nobles. It was a title bestowed by her as the first princess, and it was her personal guard. With just this emblem, Bexia's status would definitely not be inferior to that of a baron title.
