Chapter 48: The Princess of Leaving Home
Chapter 48 – Princess of the Leaving Home
The two beauties quickly regained their composure after a brief moment of shock.
The blonde girl tilted her head, “Hmph, the Northwest Bay is the Northwest Bay, as long as we keep them from finding it.”
This demeanor, this tone, how can I put it? It gave Paul a sudden feeling of familiarity. He thought hard for a while before suddenly realizing, arrogance, isn’t this arrogance? Before crossing over thought that it would only exist in the secondary yuan, did not expect to see it in reality after crossing over, inexplicably a little excited about it.
“Where are you two from?”
He once again probed, tone polite to the extreme, because the blonde girl cloak under the clothes on the decoration, a glance can be seen is not ordinary people can wear, not even ordinary nobles can wear, this is not money can buy things.
At least in Paul’s memory, he hadn’t seen the nobles around the northwest wearing it. But it was not true to say that there was no impression at all. Oh! Right, when he was a child, he had seen a similar style of decoration in a certain painting in the old Gleeman’s collection.
He vaguely remembered that it was a portrait that depicted a big shot in a certain country. This little girl, her identity is not simple.
It s better to treat these two …… people politely.
“We come from the Gabella Empire, my name Betty Diaz, a traveling scholar. This is my escort Mary.”
Scholar, again? Paul spat, are there any scholars dressed like this, it’s too suspicious, dressing like Ms. Ladi is normal, right?
But he wasn’t going to mind his own business, no matter if the other party was a noble lady who ran away from home, or the end of the royal family in exile in a foreign country, it was her freedom to come and go, if any family or enemies came to the door, let them deal with it on their own.
As long as they don’t break the law, he doesn’t care, but if there is a kidnapping, murder or something vicious like that in his territory, he definitely has to take care of it – provided that the other party’s fists aren’t as big as his.
Speaking of which, wasn’t it time to set up a public security department to manage matters of law and order in the territory.
“Who are these people?” Just as Paul was thinking about this and that, the blonde chick asked out loud.
“Oh, sorry, the ones on horseback are my men, the others are from the Lichman Adventure Group from the south. By the way, it was this green haired Ms. Lardy who shot that black spotted tiger with her bow and arrow Oh, speaking of which, she’s a scholar just like you.”
Paul was ashamed for a moment, forgetting to introduce the person with the most credit.
The two beauties bowed and thanked the scholar lady with such perfect etiquette that Paul was more than sure they were from a noble house.
Miss Scholar returned the bow, her gaze lingering briefly on the blonde girl who claimed to be a scholar.
The taller beauty asked, “I wonder if there is a place to stay nearby?”
Paul raised his horse whip and pointed in the direction of Lakeheart Town, “A little more than half a day’s journey to the east is Lakeheart Town, which is also where my mansion is located, so if you don’t mind, you can follow us on the road.”
“Then I will trouble Lord Earl.”
……
The crowd returned to the resting place, waiting at the original place of Queller stared wide-eyed: this kid went out for a trip and brought back two beautiful women, could it be that a hero saving the beauty of the dog blood bridge happened?
Paul let the two beauties and Lichtman Adventure Group of people sitting together on the carriage, ordered the whole army to gather to continue to the lake town march, all the way without words.
……
Towards evening, the team arrived in the center of the lake town, the soldiers were disbanded, free to move around for two hours and then returned to the barracks to rest, Quiller-Foster and the adventurers were arranged by Paul to go to the lord’s castle to rest, halfway to join the two girls to ask him about the location of the inn, after saying goodbye to go to the inn on their own to stay overnight.
“Really, isn’t it good to live directly in my castle? How safe.” Paul shook his head and thought with slight regret in his heart.
He walked through the gate of the lord’s mansion, and the castle steward, Philip, and the chief sealkeeper, Ford, were already standing there to greet him.
Paul cheerfully said to them, “Ah, you two, I’ve missed you a bit during this time, we’ve won a big battle.”
The two of them quickly complimented, “Congratulations, Lord Earl,” and “Lord Earl used the army like a god.” “During my absence, is everything normal in Lake Town? “
Chief Ford replied, “Everything is normal, my lord. It’s just that the royal commissioner who left some time ago has returned?”
“The royal commissioner?” Paul froze, then he responded, “Oh! It’s that Baron Hansel Abbott. I thought Lord Baron had been scared back to the royal capital by the pirates, hahaha! What is he doing here again?”
“Mr. Baron was originally resident with us as a representative of the royal family, but it seems that he came back this time to seek you out for important business.”
Paul crooked his mouth, “I’m angry when I think of that look on his face last time. Forget it, this lord is not a big fan, let’s meet him tomorrow.”
Chief Steward Ford reported to Paul about a series of matters such as the sale of new paper and the expansion of the paper workshop, the situation is quite encouraging, in the Northwest region which is backward in education and culture, it can be sold so well, if it can be transported to those affluent regions, it will be even more problematic.
Then the three of them talked about some of the things in the port of Frankland, including the public trial of the General Assembly, the establishment of the Navy, the construction of ocean-going vessels, open for business and other matters, but also mentioned from the hands of pirates to save the Marquis of Hornbeam alliance Foster’s son, Quiller.
Mr. Chief Steward listened to it with glowing eyes, and strongly suggested the Count to make good relationship with this young master Foster, as long as he can get on the line of Foster family, Alda will be able to sell the goods to the south where the commerce is developed.
“Then, we will invite Young Master Foster to come along for dinner tonight, and Chief Steward Ford will also stay as a companion to promote the friendship between the two families.”
Lord Earl decided so.
……
In a fine guest room within the only inn in Lakeheart Town, the two beauties who were rescued by Lardy stayed here.
“Your Highness, will we depart tomorrow and head east?”
“Why don’t we stay here for a while, what do you think, Leah?”
That’s right, these two were the second princess of the Kingdom of Aldo, Erin, and her lady-in-waiting, Leah, who had run away privately from the royal capital.
After Princess Erin was informed that her father was going to marry him off to Duke Veblen of the Eastern Realm, she did not do anything about it and ran away from home with her personal lady-in-waiting.
The duo had wanted to take a detour through the northeast region to join their mother’s family in the Gabella Empire. However, the duo seemed to be a bit short on talent when it came to pathfinding, and they actually came to the Northwest Bay while walking.
Fortunately, before leaving home, the princess took her own money and jewelry with her, on the way, the two did not lack of clothing and food, and they seem to be nobles dressed in clothes and Leah’s sword skills deterred a lot of people with bad intentions.
Nevertheless, for the princess who grew up in the palace and was well-dressed, this long journey of more than half a month has reached the limit of her patience.
This morning, they suspected that someone behind them in the trail, galloped wildly into the forest, dismounted to rest, but unfortunately encountered a black-spotted tiger, the mount was scared away, leaving the two and the beast confronted, but fortunately passing through the Paul and his entourage to save them.
Although the experience of growing up in the palace environment so that the little princess on the surface to maintain a minimum of composure, but has long been exhausted in the heart to finally break down.
This encounter with the tiger incident has left her a small psychological shadow, if not for the rescue, it is estimated that she and Leah has become the beast’s belly.
Continue to go on, along the way do not know how many dangers will encounter, but so return to the king’s capital to obey her father’s arrangement, the little princess is even more dead will not do.
“Let’s first stay in the center of the lake town, the lord here doesn’t seem like a bad guy, and the place is remote, the news is closed, as long as you hide it well, the guys in the royal capital will find it here probably quite not easy.”
Leah thought for a while and nodded her head in agreement, “Then it’s like that, your highness. Since that’s the case, staying in an inn isn’t a permanent solution, and there’s a lot of contact with passing travelers, tomorrow I’ll look around the town and see if I can buy a mansion to stay in.”
“Hmm! Tough luck, Leah.”
In fact, there was another reason why the little princesses decided to stay in Lakeheart Town for the time being: with their sense of direction, it was estimated that it would take a monkey’s time to continue walking before they could reach the Gabella Empire ……
