Although aristocratic education had changed the dragon knight’s speech and manners, it had not altered his true nature. In front of his childhood friends, he was still the same Maureen who struggled to survive.

Although he disdained interacting with lowly soldiers, the butler strongly agreed with Mark Benson’s words, nodding inwardly.

This was the true demeanor of a noble!

The weak have no right to refuse in front of the strong.

Chapter 0014 Invitation

Knock, knock, knock!

“Oh, you’re back?”

The guest room door was opened a crack, revealing a young girl’s face. Her damp black hair was being rubbed dry bit by bit with a dry cloth.

Without a hair dryer, this was the only way to make her hair dry faster.

Although the room was occupied by a pair of identical twin sisters, Mark Benson immediately recognized that it was the elder sister who had opened the door for him.

The reason was simple: if it were the younger sister, the first thing he would see would definitely be a disdainful look.

“Major Emily Thompson, your clothes are ready, including your underwear.”

Mark Benson handed over the burlap bag in his hand.

“Thank you!”

The words made Emily Thompson’s cheeks flush slightly as she took the bag. After all, some things were private for a young woman.

Although the two sisters were both strong female soldiers, never before had a young man so openly mentioned the word “underwear” in front of them.

“Elder sister? Who is it?” The sound of water came from inside the room—obviously, the younger sister Grace Thompson was still bathing.

No matter how delicate and soft a girl was, after sweating and trekking through the forest for a week, she would inevitably turn into a stinky mess.

As soon as the inn attendant who delivered the hot water left, the twin sister couldn’t wait to enjoy a long-awaited hot bath.

Although the hope of returning to their original world was slim, thankfully, the two sisters had arrived in a world with human civilization. With a bit of effort, life was still manageable.

It was hard to imagine what kind of miserable life they would face if they had ended up in a desolate or primitive world.

Emily Thompson turned and replied, “It’s Colonel Benson!”

The room fell silent.

“Local lord Clark Barrett has invited us to a dinner party. Are you coming?”

Mark Benson wanted to bring the sisters along because he didn’t feel comfortable leaving them alone in an unfamiliar inn.

“Please wait a moment!”

After a brief pause, Emily Thompson closed the door again.

After all, with two scantily clad, charming young women inside, it wouldn’t be appropriate for a grown man like Mark Benson to just walk in.

Five minutes later, the twin sisters reappeared before Mark Benson, neatly dressed.

Elder sister Emily Thompson wore sapphire blue, while younger sister Grace Thompson wore coral red. The exotic, even otherworldly, clothing brought out a dramatic change in their temperament that no one could have expected.

Although the two sets of female warrior outfits differed in style and color, they looked surprisingly harmonious on the twin sisters.

The fitted waists and tight bodices accentuated their graceful curves, and a few well-placed pieces of wild bull leather armor not only added extra protection but also didn’t hinder their freedom of movement.

Compared to the digital camouflage tactical uniforms that clashed with this world, the twin sisters now looked like two valiant female warriors. Without any makeup, their identical faces were striking—even dragon knight Mark Benson couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.

“Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

Grace Thompson said in a deliberately odd tone, like a snarling leopardess, but she posed no threat to the dragon knight.

Mark Benson calmly averted his gaze.

“Major Grace Thompson, mind your respect for your superior.”

Elder sister Emily Thompson didn’t hesitate to scold her sister right in front of Mark Benson.

Grace Thompson grunted twice and fell silent. For now, this annoying liar was the sisters’ future meal ticket, so she could only listen to her sister’s reprimand.

“We’ll go visit the local lord together. It’s a good chance to gather some information.”

Emily Thompson agreed to attend the banquet with Mark Benson. More contact with the locals would not only help them learn about the customs and history, but also help the sisters integrate into this world.

Both she and her sister carried Type 95 automatic assault rifles on their backs, fully armed—these were the only means of self-defense the twins had besides Mark Benson.

Although bringing guns to a banquet was a bit disrespectful to the host’s hospitality, given the locals’ limited knowledge, they probably wouldn’t recognize the power of these weapons.

These were powerful trump cards that had even taken down flying dragon knights. The only regret was that every bullet used was one less, so both rifles had to be set to single-shot mode.

“These two are...?”

The butler of the Bart family saw the twin sisters behind Mark Benson.

“Um! They’re my friends, foreign female rangers—‘Xin’ and ‘Bing’. As you can see, they’re twins.”

Mark Benson introduced them and repeated the introduction in Chinese for the twin sisters.
