It wasn't an attempt to curry favor, but Steven was certain he had seen Lance's face in the capital before. As for where exactly... he couldn't recall at the moment.
Young Dragon Lucia grinned; the way this Holy Knight struck up a conversation was so clichéd. In the imperial city, she had seen some young nobles use this tactic to chat up girls. Those born into great noble families wouldn't use such means.
They would introduce themselves openly and tell the girl which family they belonged to; sometimes, they would even show the girl their family crest.
The deeper the heritage and the longer the lineage of a great noble family, the more intricate and glorious their family crest.
Was this Holy Knight using such a line because he feared the Evil Dragon would reject him, and he sought to pique the Evil Dragon's interest?
Alas.
The Evil Dragon always managed to make some incomprehensible matters... turn strange.
