Chapter 262.
Chapter 262 I Do
The 17th Princess of Knuckles was beautiful to look at.
Even though one could have a dozen beautiful princesses that could improve the ugly genes of King Knaus, not all princes and princesses could inherit the good part.
But the Seventeenth Princess was truly the lucky one. She looked almost exactly like her real mother.
She smoothly took the title of the first beauty of the royal family from her second sister.
As a princess, beauty was Seventeen’s greatest capital besides power.
Therefore, unlike her elder sister who had already married into a union, she had been waiting for a perfect opportunity.
In her opinion, if she was beautiful and smart, and could also inherit a fortune that was worth a fortune to an ordinary person, then how could her future husband not be an ordinary person?
In the eyes of the seventeenth princess, except for the king and the grand duke, the rest could only be considered ordinary men.
However, she did not expect that the beautiful marriage she had been longing for would turn out to be a marriage for compromise in the end.
Although the object of the marriage was the descendant of the Grand Duchess of the Kemah Duchy, it was only an ordinary man, and the possibility of inheriting the Kemah Duchy in the future was slim to none.
Princess Seventeen still didn’t understand that even if her own brother Aruba’s advancement to second level sorcerer was thwarted, it wasn’t like there was no chance left.
It’s not like he’s going to bow down to the Kemah Duchy just like that, right?
Greatly disappointed seventeen princess, from now on began her extremely extravagant peace journey.
For this reason, she also deliberately snatched the court musician, who was recently favored by the First Princess (not her biological mother), into the marriage team.
Just didn’t expect that from then on, she was planted.
The flirtatious, amorous princess could no longer look at anyone else, and all she wanted to do was stare at Victor every day.
“Victor, your name is so beautiful.” At this moment, this seventeenth princess, was holding her beautifully shaped chin, staring at the man in front of her with infatuation.
“Just a common name.” Victor didn’t have much interest in communicating with the Seventeenth Princess, only occasionally lowering his head, plucking the strings of the zither twice, and emitting the tuneless tones.
Even this messy notes made the Seventeenth Princess reveal an engrossed smile, “It’s hard to ride all the way in the car, isn’t it, but don’t worry, we’ll be arriving at Mobei City soon. At that time, you will stay in my room, if they dare to be half-hearted, I will demolish his Mobei City!”
“Really? It’s almost time to arrive at Desert City?” Victor was suddenly a bit despondent, a few strands of silver-colored hair hanging on his cheeks, looking as fragile as a small white rabbit.
“Are you sad?” Princess Seventeen was so mesmerized by what she was watching that she forgot about her agreement with Victor and couldn’t help but stand up and walk towards him.
She reached out her hand, wanting to ruffle the bit of hair for Victor, and then wanting to pinch the hair in her fingertips and twist it gently.
However, when her fingertips were still a few centimeters away from Victor, Victor suddenly turned his head and looked over coldly with a look of disgust, “Don’t touch me.”
Princess Seventeen was startled and hastily took a step back.
However, she was not angry in her heart and only felt that Victor was in a bad mood.
“But why is Victor angry? Ah yes, arriving at Desert City means it’s getting closer to my marriage celebration. He must be sad.”
Princess Seventeen suddenly felt that arriving at Desert City wasn’t a good thing anymore.
She boarded up her face, lifted the gauze curtain of the car window, and said to the maid who was following the side of the car, “Tell the Knight Commander that I’m not going to Mobei City.”
The maid froze in place after hearing what the princess was saying.
But she didn’t dare to ask the princess to repeat herself, and hurriedly ran to the Knight Commander to report the situation.
The Knight Commander, who was still fit after fifty years of age, was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and he rushed over to dissuade her.
However, this arrogant princess did not care about the welcoming party waiting in Mobei City and insisted on landing in other towns.
The Knight Commander knew that he couldn’t stand up to this 17th Princess, so he found a local squire and asked in a low voice, “Where are the other towns nearby?”
The squire recalled for a moment and respectfully said, “There are two fairly large towns nearby. The closest would be Riding Sheep Town, and the other is Mill Sail Town, which is slightly farther away from here.”
The Knight Commander immediately asked, “Where is closer to Desert City?”
“That would be Mill Sail Town, and if one were to fasten their horse, they would be able to reach Mobei City in a small half day.”
“How are the people of Mill Sail Town?”
“Although Mill Sail Town is closer to Desert North City, it is actually blessed by the Sorcerer’s Tower, and the actual people in charge are two first level wandering sorcerer apprentices.”
Hearing the first half of the sentence the Knight Commander’s heart tightened, but hearing the latter, there were only two first level apprentices in the town put it down again.
“First level apprentices? That’s fine, we have a third level apprentice with us in our party, no need to worry. Then go to Mill Sail Town, then send another two to Desert City to send a message.”
The Knight Commander thought in his heart, “If the Kemah Duchy’s army comes to pick them up, then it won’t be me disobeying orders.”
So at the request of the capricious princess, the entire alliance party deviated slightly from its original route and headed to an unknown town in the borderlands. It was going to be late in the day, and fortunately they reached them not too far from Mill Sail Town.
By the time they saw the highest ridge of the town, the sun had already set into the sky, with only a touch of residual red left.
“Oops!”
In fact, the princess was trying to please Victor when she suddenly heard a cry of alarm from the maid outside the car window.
The atmosphere that had just somewhat warmed up was broken, and the princess tried to suppress her anger, “What’s wrong?”
“Princess, outside that town, there are surprisingly a lot of dirt graves. And ……”
“What?” Princess Seventeen looked out along the window of the car, but she only saw a few graves, some of which were dug up and bloody.
She had only frowned slightly. Suddenly glancing at Victor in the corner, she hastily held her forehead, “Aiya, how horrible, who is so bad that they even dug up other people’s graves?”
Victor was originally indifferent to the commotion outside, suddenly hearing that the grave had been dug up, gripping his harp tightly he leapt straight to the car door and looked out.
“Heh, interesting.” He said interesting with his mouth, but his face didn’t look too good.
“Victor, don’t be afraid, let’s get out of here now and go to another town.”
“Silence!” Victor suddenly raised his right hand.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped out of the car sharply, and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he took a few steps to the edge of the field where neatly arranged graves were located.
He carefully gazed at the dug up graves and even sniffed the odor without changing his face, and suddenly broke into a smile.
Victor moved his lips and wordlessly spat out two words.
By the time he turned around and returned to the princess’s carriage, he was already full of energy and walking with an easy gait.
For the first time in so many days, Princess Seventeen saw Victor smile like this, and for a moment she looked stunned.
“Princess, countryside towns, it’s not uncommon to bury graves in the countryside. The sun will be setting, we’d better enter the city as soon as possible.”
After saying that, with a smile on his face, he took a step onto the frame of the car, ignoring the complicated gazes of the crowd, and closed the door of the car tightly.
“You’re not angry?” Princess Seventeen, who had already been conditioned to be obedient, carefully asked Victor.
“Of course not, in fact, I’m very happy.”
He was indeed happy, even the end of his words were trailing off upwards.
He was sitting within a meter of the princess on a rare occasion, and turned sideways just as a beam of slanting sunlight shone through the window on his face, reflecting a few warm colors on his otherwise pale skin.
Princess Seventeen was once again mesmerized.
“Victor, you’re so good looking. If I had met you earlier, I would have never touched anyone else.”
If he had faced such a compliment before, Victor would not have responded half-heartedly. But today, he crooked a smile at the princess, then looked down the window at the sunset on the side of the mountain.
At this time, the sun had already mostly fallen behind the mountains, with only a little bit of red density still struggling in the sky.
But that’s exactly why, against the inky blue sky, it was as red as blood.
“Have you ever heard of a word called the remnant sun is like blood? Look how beautiful it is.” Victor said softly.
“Not as beautiful as you.” Princess Seventeen was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside at all.
It was rare for Victor to give her a good look, and all she wanted to do was seize the opportunity to eat the man dry for the night.
“I don’t like the waning sun like blood, I like the waning sun dripping blood.” Victor smiled even more as he suddenly turned his head to Princess Seventeen and said, “Your Highness, let’s take our relationship a step further tonight.”
Princess Seventeen all froze, Victor actually thought of a piece with her!
“Really?”
“Would you like to?” Victor asked rhetorically.
“I do, I do!” The princess was not at all reserved.
Victor’s voice slowed down, “It’s the kind that eats you dry and dismantles you into your belly oh~”
Princess Seventeen’s mouth went dry and she couldn’t help but lick her lips.
“I’m willing.”
