Chapter 48 Princess Li Jia
After a brief period of shock, the two beauties quickly regained their composure.
The blond girl raised her head, "Huh, let's just say Northwest Bay is Northwest Bay, as long as they can't find it."
How should I describe this look and tone? Jean Paul suddenly felt a familiar feeling. After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized, Tsundere, isn't this Tsundere? Before traveling, I thought it would only exist in the second dimension, but I didn’t expect to see it in reality after traveling. I was a little excited for no reason.
“Where are you two from?”
He inquired again, his tone extremely polite, because the decoration on the clothes under the cloak of the blonde girl could be seen at a glance that it was not something that ordinary people, or even ordinary nobles, could wear, and it was not something that money could buy. thing.
At least in Paul's memory, he has never seen the nobles in the northwest wearing it. But it would not be wrong to say that I had no impression at all. oh! By the way, when he was a child, he had seen a similar style of decoration in a certain painting collected by the old Graiman.
He vaguely remembered that it was a portrait, depicting a big shot in a certain country. This little girl’s identity is not simple.
Being polite to these two people... is better.
"We are from the Gabela Empire. My name is Betty Dias, and I am a wandering scholar. This is my guard Mary."
Scholar again? Paul complained, is there any scholar dressed like this? It’s too suspicious. It’s normal to dress like Miss Ladi.
But he doesn't intend to meddle in other people's business. No matter whether the other party is a noble lady who has run away from home or a descendant of the royal family who has gone into exile in a foreign country, she is free to come and go. If a family member or enemy comes to her door, let her They took care of it themselves.
As long as it doesn't break the law, he won't care about it, but if a vicious incident such as kidnapping or murder occurs in his territory, he will definitely take care of it - provided that the other party's fists are not as big as his.
Speaking of which, should a public security department be established to be responsible for managing public security matters in the territory?
"Who are these?" Just when Paul was thinking about this, the blond girl asked aloud.
"Oh, I'm sorry, the people on horseback are all my subordinates, and the others are the Leachman Adventure Group from the south. By the way, it was the green-haired Miss Ladi who shot the black-spotted tiger to death with a bow and arrow. It seems that she is also a scholar like you."
Paul felt ashamed and forgot to introduce the person who had made the greatest contribution.
The two beauties bowed to thank the scholar. Their etiquette was perfect. Paul was even more certain that they came from noble families.
Miss Scholar returned the favor and her eyes briefly stayed on the blond girl who claimed to be a scholar.
The tall beauty asked: "Is there a place to stay nearby?"
Paul raised his whip and pointed in the direction of Huxin Town, "Go east for half a day and you'll find Huxin Town, where my mansion is located. If you don't mind, you can come with us."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Earl."
......
Everyone returned to the resting area, and Queller, who was waiting there, widened his eyes: This kid will go out as soon as he goes out. Bringing back two beauties, could it be that there was a bloody scene where the hero saved the beauties?
Paul asked the two beauties to sit in the carriage with everyone from Leachman's adventure group, and ordered the entire army to gather and continue marching to Lake Town, without saying a word all the way.
...
Towards evening, the team arrived at Lake Town. The soldiers were dismissed and returned to the barracks to rest after free activities for two hours. Queller Foster and everyone in the adventure group were arranged by Paul to go to the Lord's Castle. He rested there, and the two girls who joined him on the way asked him about the location of the hotel. After saying goodbye, they went to the hotel to stay on their own.
"Really, wouldn't it be better to live directly in my castle? It's so safe." Paul shook his head, thinking with a little regret.
He walked into the gate of the Lord's Mansion. Philip, the castle steward, and Ford, the steward of the seal, were already standing there to greet him.
Paul said to them happily: "Ah, you two, I have missed you a little during this time. We have won a big victory."
The two people quickly complimented, "Congratulations to the Earl" and "The Earl is like a god with his troops." "Is everything normal in Huxin Town during my absence?"
Manager Ford replied: "Everything is normal, sir. It's just that the royal commissioner who left some time ago has returned. Back?"
"Royal Commissioner?" Paul was stunned, and then he responded: "Oh! It's Baron Hansel Abbott who was scared back to the king. It’s all over, hahaha! What’s he doing here again?”
“Mr. Baron is originally here as a representative of the royal family, but he seems to have something important to discuss with you this time.”
Paul twisted his lips: "I get angry when I think of his behavior last time. Forget it, my Lord, I don't remember the faults of villains. Let's see him tomorrow."
Manager Ford reported to Paul about the new model The situation of a series of matters such as paper sales and papermaking workshop expansion is quite gratifying. It can be sold so well in the culturally and educationally backward northwest region. It will be no problem if it can be transported to those wealthy areas.
Then the three of them talked about some things about Fulan Port, including the public trial, the establishment of a navy, the construction of ocean-going ships, opening up trade, etc., and also mentioned the rescue of the Horn League Foster from the pirates. Quiller, son of the Marquis.
Mr. Steward’s eyes shone after hearing this, and he strongly suggested that the Earl establish a good relationship with Master Foster. As long as he can connect with the Foster family, Alda can deliver the goods. Sold to the south where commerce is developed.
"Then, let's invite Master Foster to have dinner with us tonight, and Manager Ford will also stay with us to enhance the friendship between the two families."
The Earl decided so.
......
In a superior guest room in the only hotel in Huxin Town, the two beauties rescued by La Di lived here.
"Your Highness, shall we set off to the east tomorrow?"
"Why don't we stay here for a while, what do you think, Liya?"
Yes, these two are the second princess of Aldo Kingdom, Irene, and her female bodyguard, Liya, who ran away from the royal capital.
After Princess Eileen learned that her father was going to marry him to Duke Veblen of the East, she ran away from home with her personal bodyguard.
The two originally wanted to take a detour to the Northeast region and go to the Gabela Empire to join their mother's family. However, the two of them seemed a bit lacking in talent in finding their way, and they ended up in the northwest bay while walking.
Fortunately, the princess took all her personal money and jewelry with her before running away from home. The two of them did not lack food or clothing along the way, and they looked like they were dressed like nobles and Liya's swordsmanship shocked them. There are many people living there with evil intentions.
Even so, for Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has grown up in a palace and lived in fine clothes and fine food, this long journey of more than half a month has reached the limit of her endurance.
This morning, they suspected that someone was following them, so they galloped into the forest on horseback. When they dismounted to rest, they unfortunately encountered a black-spotted tiger. The mount was scared away, leaving the two of them to confront the beast. Fortunately, they passed by Paul and his party saved them.
Although the experience of growing up in a palace environment allowed the little princess to maintain a minimum of composure on the surface, her already exhausted heart was finally about to collapse.
The tiger encounter left a big psychological shadow on her. If someone hadn't rescued her, she and Liya would have become the prey of the beast.
Continuing to walk, I don’t know how many dangers I will encounter along the way, but if I just return to the capital and obey my father’s arrangements, the little princess will not do it even if she is killed.
“Let’s stay in Lake Town first. The lord here doesn’t look like a bad guy, and the place is remote and the information is not available. As long as we hide it well, it will probably not be easy for the guys from the royal capital to find this place. ”
Liya thought for a while, nodded in agreement: "Then let's do it, Your Highness. In this case, living in a hotel is not a long-term solution, and I have too much contact with passing travelers. I will wander around the town tomorrow to see if I can Buy a house to live in.”
“Well! Thank you for your hard work, Liya.”
In fact, there is another reason why the little princess decided to stay in Huxin Town temporarily: because of their sense of direction. , if you continue walking, it will take you years and months to reach the Gabela Empire...
