Torlistine's capital, inside the Royal Palace, Ann Rietta's bedchamber. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chenxing, Louise, and Cairen were summoned to meet the princess because of the capture of Fukai, and since Tabasha and Churuk were foreigners, only Chenxing and Louise came, and of course, Cairen was brought in by Louise as an envoy.

"Congratulations on catching Fleur, Louise Françoise, and Nie Chenxing," Princess Ann Rietta smiled as she looked at the two who bowed.

"That's what we're supposed to do," Louise said.

"But there are rewards too," Angeletta smiled softly.

"Louise, congratulations on the knighthood of Tauvalier. ”

"I don't deserve to accept the title of Thuvalier," Louise said modestly.

"You've done the corresponding credit, you've caught the notorious thief, and Mr. Chenxing, you're now a viscount. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess," Chenxing bowed.

"Of course, thanks to the reliable Mr. Demon," Ann Rietta looked at the talented man with a smile.

"Ah, no, it's nothing," facing a big beauty like An Rietta, the talented person suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"From now on, my most important friend will trouble you," Rietta said, holding out her left hand to the talent.

Cai Ren looked at the hand in front of him in amazement, is this to shake hands? But the back of the hand is facing up, what kind of etiquette is this?

"Ahh

Seeing An Lietta stretch out her hand towards the talented man, Louise suddenly exclaimed, stopped in front of the talented man and said, "No, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you actually allowed this demon to perform this kind of ceremony!"

"By protecting you, he declares his loyalty to me, and loyalty needs to be rewarded. ”

Louise hesitated and stepped out of the way.

The talented man looked at An Rietta's outstretched hand in a daze, and muttered, "Shake hands?" ”

"No, it means you can kiss!" Louise whispered into the ear.

"Dear...... Kiss! so open. ”

The talented man looked at Her Royal Highness the princess blankly, and Ann Rietta smiled at the talented man, although it was a signature smile for the people to see, but it was so beautiful in the eyes of the talented people.

"Hurry up, it's rude," Louise complained.

Cairen suddenly woke up, coughed dryly, and said.

"Well, it's rude. ”

Then, the talented man stepped forward, took Ann Rietta's hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"Huh?"

Ann Rietta made a surprised sound, and the man stepped forward and kissed her lips to the princess's lips.

Then, with a hand on his head, he pulled his head back as he was about to kiss the princess.

"Ahh......h Chenxing: What are you pulling me for?"

The talented man saw the owner of the hand in the way he leaned back, and suddenly asked strangely.

The corners of Chenxing's mouth twitched, and he looked at him speechlessly and said, "I still want to ask what you want to do." ”

At this moment, Anrietta suddenly rolled her eyes, then tilted her head, and fainted.

"Alas, fainted, why?" only then did the man feel the movement in his arms, Chenxing also let go of his hand, he suddenly looked into his arms, and saw the unconscious princess, and wondered.

"I'm stunned by your sudden move," Chenxing said.

"What have you done to Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Louise, who was standing on the side and froze, reacted, roared angrily, raised her pink fist and swung it down hard.

"Smack!"

Then it was gently blocked by Chenxing.

"Chenxing, you!" Louise looked at Chenxing angrily, while Cairen looked at Chenxing with a grateful face, worthy of being a good friend.

"Louise, please wait a moment. ”

Chenxing walked up to Cairen, took Her Royal Highness from the princess and placed her on her bed in his puzzled eyes, and then turned back to Louise and made a 'please' gesture.

"Now, it's time to continue. ”

"Hey, hey, Chenxing, how can you ...... like that?"

Only then did the talented man react, but before his words could be spoken, they had already turned into a miserable howl under Louise's angry fists and feet.

"Bang Bang!"

For a while, the sound of screams and flesh crashes was endless.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After a while, Anrietta came to her senses, and the talented man was on her knees with a blue nose and swollen face, and Louise was also half-kneeling to the side.

"I'm so sorry, the demon's offense is my offense! Hey!

Louise spoke to Ann Lietta in trepidation, and then pressed the talented man's head against the floor.

"I'm sorry. ”

The talented man first apologized, then looked up at Louise and said, "But, didn't you say you could kiss?"

"It's a hand kiss, there's that stupid guy who kisses the lips?"

"Here," the man pointed to himself.

"Bang!"

The talented man who didn't know the famous saying 'if you don't die, you won't die' was punched away by an angry Louise.

"No, it doesn't matter, loyalty has to be rewarded, and I wasn't actually offended. ”

Ann Rietta, who tried her best to pretend to be calm, smiled.

"Chenxing, thank you," Louise immediately turned her grateful gaze to Chenxing.

"Well, I just don't want to see a friend executed for being stupid," Chenxing said, waving his hand.

When they had calmed down a little, the princess said to Louise.

"Actually, I have something I want to get rid of you. ”

"If he dies, I'll throw this stupid dog out of the window at once," Louise said decisively, pointing to the talented man who had fallen to the side.

"Wait, what are you talking about!" shouted the genius who suddenly got up.

"Give me peace!"

Louise roared angrily, and the talented man immediately lowered his head obediently.

After all the attention was on Her Royal Highness the Princess, Angeletta said.

"I'd like to ask you to stay on the street for a while. ”

"On the street?"

"Well, I want you to look into something," said Angela, taking out two copies of something rolled together and handing them to Louise and Chenxing.

"This is a royal issued identification certificate. ”

After the two took it, Louise looked at the certificate in her hand and asked suspiciously, "You want us to investigate on the street?"

"I've heard a lot lately about the mistreatment of commoners by some nobles, but even if I ask the people around me, they say that nobles, as models of commoners, can't behave like this. ”

[Nobles mistreat commoners...... Isn't that what Louise and the talented people are talking about? The demon in front of you who abuses her every day, hey?

Chenxing secretly complained in his heart.

"But after seeing the incident between you and Mothumuk (see Zero Anime: Maid's Crisis for details), I don't think it's just a rumor, so I hope you will investigate the situation in the city, even though it's a difficult task......"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will complete the task for you!"

Louise excitedly made a noble salute to show her determination, and seemed very happy that she was finally able to do her friend a favor.

"I'll do that too," Chenxing saluted.

Angela smiled.

"Well, please, the two of you. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After saying goodbye to the princess, because Louise and they still have to go back to the academy to pack some luggage, Chenxing said that he would go to the city first and contact him when the time came.

After returning to the school and cleaning up, Louise and the two set off towards Tristania, in order to better investigate, so they had to hide their identities and become civilians, so they couldn't use the carriage, and the horses in the academy were from the academy and couldn't be used, so in the end, they had to walk.

"The hateful sun has risen," whispered to the man who felt the scorching sun.

"Don't be in a daze! Hey, hurry up!"

Louis, who had pushed all his luggage to the demons, roared.

When they arrived on the street, the two first walked into the clothing store, wanting to buy Louis some local civilian clothes, although Louis would be unhappy, but wearing a cloak with a pentagram is equivalent to loudly announcing that he is a nobleman, and it is impossible to blend in with the commoners to collect information, so it is a waste of the meaning of walking on foot.

However, Louise, dressed in civilian clothing, seems to be dissatisfied.

"What's wrong?"

"It's so rustic. ”

"But you weren't the one who said you were going to disguise yourself as a civilian?"

"But don't you think there's a better outfit?!"

“…… Hey, you know what we're for, right?"

"You still need to say it. ”

“……”

Looking at Louise speechlessly, remembering that they only brought the 600 new gold coins given by the princess because they were in a hurry, and they only went out with more than 400 Ek (gold coins), and couldn't help but sigh.

"There is really no 'bright' future. ”

"Next up are the horses. ”

"Horses?"

After a while, Louise puffed out of the shop that specialized in selling horses, and whispered a grumble.

"Really, the horse actually costs four hundred eckes, and there is no money to buy one. ”

If you can't buy a horse, you can only find a place to live first.

"Two hundred Eks?!" Louise looked at the innkeeper in dismay.

"This is because the hotel is a high-class inn for the aristocracy. ”

Louise could only leave with a depressed face.

"There's not enough money at all......"

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a cheap hotel?" suggested the man.

"No, I can't sleep in a modest room," Louise said with a serious face, 'I really deserve to be a big lady.'

[It's worthy of being the eldest lady of the aristocracy, obviously it's the task of infiltrating the commoners to collect intelligence, but it's going to live in a high-end hotel, what are you thinking]

The talented man thought helplessly, and then said, "Why don't we go to Chenxing to borrow some money?"

"No! that's a shame!" Louise vetoed.

The talented man held his forehead and said helplessly: "Sure enough, this kind of thing is too reluctant for the eldest lady of the nobles." ”

"Alright, I'll figure it out myself," Louise said, speeding forward.

"What the hell do you want to do?" asked the man.

"Don't come along!"

Louise stopped the talent with a drink, then 'snorted' and turned to leave.

Looking at Louise's back, Cairen suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It's like seeing countless gold coins with long wings flying into the sky.
