It was already dark, and even the horses could not move smoothly in the darkness, but the place to rest was already close at hand. Tang Meng and his entourage were also about to rest when they were hurrying up. But Catalina in Tang Meng's arms was already drowsy, and Princess Atlante was holding her waist tightly behind Serina's back, but her eyes were staring at Tang Meng very unkindly, as if Tang Meng owed her tens of millions of yuan, oh no, the currency unit in the Gobles continent is gold coins.
Tang Meng also noticed her resentful eyes, obviously Her Royal Highness the princess still didn't forgive herself, but this was the bearing of the youngest daughter's family, and it looked as if she was an awkward little girl.
It's just that the imperial aura she exuded before was not fake, which made Tang Meng also feel a kind of power germinating in her small body, as if she had a supreme royal soul in her body!
On the way, because the princess is a girl, she rides with Selina, in fact, the fundamental reason is that she still dislikes Tang Meng, so she is unwilling to ride with Tang Meng. Then Her Royal Highness told Serena about her situation in a deep voice.
"I remember a month ago, I worked hard away from the Extreme Palace to play in the Far East, which is near here, and I was very happy like a free bird at that time. Atlante recalled.
"But you are fleeing, Your Royal Highness, and your safety will not be guaranteed. Serena interrupted.
"But the Extreme Emperor Palace is too boring, Serena, don't interrupt me yet. Atlante said unhappily.
"Yes, I'm sorry Your Highness the Princess. Serena said respectfully.
"I was disappointed to come to a civilian place. Although there are many people, the food is too humble, and the things to play are not exquisite. The so-called adventurers are not as powerful as the palace guards, and their vindictive magic attainments are far inferior. Atlante said dismissively.
"Then Her Royal Highness the princess should know how well the royal capital is good, right?" Serena cautiously agreed.
"Hmph, but here is free, there is no red tape in the court, there is no daily prayer to the gods, and there is no daily compulsory magic class, cultural class, history class, and Wang Xue class...... Ahhh Atlante seemed to recall some painful memory, and the horse seemed to feel her emotions as well, and let out a low neigh.
At this time, Atlante showed a disgusted expression, it is true that for a lively girl like her, court life is too serious. Tang Meng used his sensitive hearing to hear this in the bumps on horseback, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Then a group of people targeted me, and I don't know who they were. The squires and maidservants who came out with me were poisoned by them!, what a hateful and filthy bastard, who dared to challenge the majesty of the royal family!" said Atlante, furious.
"Your Highness Princess, do you know which organization they belong to?" Serena asked.
"I don't know, their methods are vicious, but the assassination methods are even more clever. The few guards who were walking with me all died quietly, which made me realize that they were an organization, otherwise they would not have been able to assassinate all of my guards at once. It's a pity that they are all vindictators loyal to the royal family, but they died because of me. Atlante said sadly.
"And how did you escape, Your Highness the Princess?" asked Serena nervously.
"I hid somewhere in the city of the Emir with illusion magic, and they couldn't notice it. And their identities are clearly not visible. Later, Howard found me, because because of his great strength and reputation as a phantom swordsman, the killer never appeared again, which made me and him let our guard down. Unexpectedly, in that small town, he ...... "Atlante can't go on, this Howard also taught her swordsmanship, and he is her teacher, how can she not be sad?"
Serena and Tang Meng were also silent for a while, only Katrina was drowsy, and her eyes were almost closed several times, so she didn't hear.
"What's wrong with Katrina?" Tang Meng asked, slowing down his speed while driving Xiaobai.
Serena and Princess Atlante both noticed this.
"Serena, I order you to stop, what's wrong with my good friend Katrina?" said Princess Atlante, nervously.
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know. Serena suddenly thought of something, and said, "Catrina will do this as soon as she has an oracle that comes into contact with the sun god, and it was like this three years ago." ā
"What an oracle, she feels weak now. Serena?, I order you to stop!" said Atlante, anxious, as she had just lost a mentor and would not allow herself to lose another good friend.
However, Serena hastened and explained, "The best thing to do now is to get to the rest point and let her get a good night's sleep, Your Highness the Princess, we have to hurry up." ā
"Sister Serena, Princess Atlante, I'm fine. Catalina whispered weakly, then looked at him again, "Mr. Tang Meng's arms are very warm and comfortable." ā
After speaking, Catalina seemed to have lost all her energy and fell into a deep sleep, and Tang Meng had to hug her petite body tighter to prevent her from falling.
Serena is used to Catalina relying on Tang Meng so much, but Atlante is very incredible, and the good friend in her impression is obviously a girl who is extremely shy, and it is difficult to approach a person. But she's very intimate with this hooligan pervert? Her mind is a mess.
Hmph, Catrina must have been deceived by this bastard's rhetoric? This damn perverted lolicon, I'm going to tear you to pieces when I return to the royal capital!" Atlante thought through gritted teeth.
However, in the depths of her mind, a deep and solemn voice said: "The way of the emperor lies in the emperor. This person is so good, he deserves to be reused, not because of your personal bias, and he will lose talent!"
"I don't care, hmph, that guy named Tang Meng hates it to death. Atlante accidentally said it.
Tang Meng didn't hear it, because he was using his true qi to observe Katrina's internal situation, and the result was not abnormal.
But Serena wondered, why did Her Royal Highness hate Tang Meng who saved her so much?
Serena glanced at Tang Meng suspiciously, unable to see anything from his calm face, and then concentrated on the horse again.
Finally, the rest point arrived, and the lights were faintly seen in the dark, which made Tang Meng feel like he was in a different world, obviously he had only been in the wild for a day. The hotel is a three-storey hotel with a design that resembles a medieval Renaissance building, with a thick and neat rectangular shape and neatly arranged windows, giving it a safe look.
It's the only resting spot in this forest, but it's not really lively. After all, the main trade route of the city of Emir was maritime transportation, so merchants like the Kleer merchants were frequent visitors, and it was also an important source of income for them.
Tang Meng and Serena had just driven their horses to stop in front of the rest point, and immediately a groom came to lead the horses to feed, Tang Meng and Serena Mingrui found that there were still many horses, Serena and Tang Meng patted the horse's head lightly to appease, and then they entered the front hall with the attendants.
Since Serena had never been to this hotel and didn't know the owner here, let alone Tang Meng, who had very little experience in staying in a hotel, Atlante also frowned, obviously not satisfied with the environment.
The owner here is a middle-aged man with brown hair, and his body still looks a little strong, not like a hotel owner, but like a robber, who is now opening a room and reading a book intently. Under Selina's gaze, Tang Meng reluctantly moved forward.
"Boss, please help us open three rooms. Tang Meng said.
"Well, there's only one room here, so you can do it. The boss said lightly, obviously he was dispensable to this business.
Suddenly the boss raised his head and saw Serena's face, and was immediately a little stunned, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, oh no, elf.
"Oh, dear lady elf, sorry there is no room. "His fierce physique, speaking the polite words of a businessman, seemed out of place.
"But if you don't dislike it, there are still seats in my room, you ......" The boss didn't finish yet.
With a "whoosh", an arrow feather had already slashed across his cheek and nailed to the wall behind him, sinking deep.
"Boss, is this how you treat Kreel's VIPs?" said Tang Meng and took out the gold medal given to him by Clier's merchants.
The merchant just wanted to scold something, but when he saw that this brand was swallowed back, he took it tremblingly, checked it carefully, and suddenly his expression became very respectful, and he handed it back to Tang Meng with both hands. I already knew that the largest shareholder of this hotel was actually a merchant from Kreel.
"Sorry to offend a few guests, but there is actually an exclusive room for distinguished guests, with luxurious beds and furniture, which is only open to special guests. But it's really just two rooms. The boss said sincerely.
Seeing the change in the boss's attitude, Tang Meng and Selina were unexpected, this gold medal seemed to be really useful, but Atlante was used to this kind of humble name, and the boss's indifferent tone before made her a little angry, she was Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Alright, let's open the room. What nonsense. Princess Atlante scolded.
The boss felt that he couldn't disobey them, so he hurriedly took them to the room. The ordinary room is of course occupied by Caterina, and Serena needs to take care of her. Then the noble room was naturally given to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and as for Tang Meng......
"Dear Mr. Tang Meng, this is the stable, I'm sorry, but you don't want to squeeze with me, so I can only wronged you to sleep here......" The boss looked very uneasy.
Tang Meng's expression was indifferent, and he said, "Well, it's okay, you can go down." ā
The boss retreated respectfully, Tang Meng finally became accustomed to smelling the smell of horses around him, and the "bed" made of grass was still quite soft, Tang Meng sat down.
He thought of the triumphant look in Princess Atlante's eyes just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that his day of suffering had just begun......
