Lear took out his handkerchief and half-crouched down in front of Niss, carefully wiping her sweat. The biggest reason for treating her is out of self-interest, but part of the reason is out of love for her, as a normal man, he can't dislike such a beautiful, kind, good-tempered little beauty.

Most importantly, he could feel that Ness's gaze looking at him was full of adoration and attachment, which made him feel close - after coming to the Starry Sky Continent, he had been in a crisis, and he only felt relaxed when he saw Ness's cute and pure smiling face.

The Humphreys were standing not far away, smiling at the scene, the most comfortable smiles they had had in more than a decade.

"My lord, what do you think of Lear? Lady Elena whispered with a fragrant wood fan over her lips.

Humphrey was much more sensible, and he hesitated, "As long as Ness likes it, I won't interfere in her marriage, not to mention that only Lear can save her at the moment." But the problem is that he is now in a great maelstrom, and I even suspect that it is the means of some prince in the imperial capital. If the royal family is really easy to solve, why should I run here to hide. ”

Lady Elena stubbornly said, "I don't care! I just want my Ness to be happy, and everything that stands in her way should disappear! I have written to my father, begging him to make sure that Lear gets back his title! Even if Lear loses his bid for the title, I can't watch him die! Ness has secretly told me that Lear used her own blood to heal her, and that I cannot repay such an upright and kind child. Only he can save Niss, and Niss is my everything, I have no choice!"

Mother's love trumps everything.

Humphrey looked at Madame, smiled bitterly at the end, and said, "Since Madame said so, then I have to do my best to help him." ”

Elena looked lovingly at Lear and Ness, who were chatting, and said, "Let Ness send Lear to old Hans today, and hang my father's coat of arms in the carriage!"

Humphrey knew that he would be thoroughly involved in the Earl of Lear controversy. The two women he loves the most have been conquered by Lear, what else can he do?

Humphrey returned to the hidden secretary's room, and gently struck the bronze bell on the table, and a middle-aged man in black casual clothes with a blank face appeared in front of him. The middle-aged man's facial muscles seemed to be frozen, and he looked like a dead man, and whoever approached him would feel that he exuded a cold aura all over his body.

"After that, Niss went out a lot, and you protected her in secret. If Ness doesn't go out, you're going to protect Lear. If someone wants to hurt Ness or Lear, don't think about it, don't leave one. Bring a magic compass with you, and if anything, I'll send a magic message. ”

"Yes, master. The Humphrey family's strongest hidden knight slowly walked into the corner, his body disappearing into the shadows without a sound.

Baron Humphrey sent two horse-drawn carriages to the "Star of the East" porcelain shop in Port Lear, where the elder lived and belonged to Lear.

Lear and Ness sit in the first carriage, which includes not only the two of them, but also Ness's handmaid. These two maids seem to be very ordinary, but they are actually two junior female swordsmen, who are the best at using short swords. Moreover, the coachman of this carriage was a mid-level swordsman.

Outside the carriage of the first carriage, a shield hung with the family coat of arms of Elena's father, the Duke of Kefler. The silver background of the coat of arms symbolizes peace and honesty, the goat symbolizes the family's use of diplomacy more than combat, the crescent moon symbolizes the blessing of the emperor, and the three angel feathers symbolize the three queens of the family, and the seven swan feathers symbolize the seven queens.

But at the bottom of the coat of arms, there is a curved blood-colored thorn with a large thorn and six small thorns on the thorn - only those familiar with the history of the Kefler family know that Kefler once destroyed a ducal family and six marquis families, and the other enemies are not worthy of the family coat of arms.

However, less than one in 10,000 people in the Starry Sky Continent can read this coat of arms.

Ness is very excited to get better and be able to travel at the same time, and now she completely treats Lear as a close brother, and talks non-stop along the way, but the most she asks about Lear - she wants to know more about Lear's brother too much.

Acting in a high-profile manner, being a low-key person—Baron Humphrey told Lear before he left.

Except for the coat of arms, everyone in the carriage was dressed in ordinary clothes, Lear was dressed in black civilian clothes, and there was nothing fancy about it. He wears a black hat on his head, which is slightly pressed down to hide his face, and looks like the child of a petty official and a small businessman.

Ness is wearing a floral dress on a white background, ordinary, fresh and innocent, which can make people's eyes shine, but she will not feel that she is a noble lady.

A few hundred years ago, the civilians of the Starry Sky Continent could only wear black and gray clothing, and were not allowed to wear velvet, fur or even slightly bright clothes, not even gold and silver jewelry. There are still a few regions of the Homan Empire that have such decrees, but most of them are relatively open, and this restriction no longer exists, so it is difficult to distinguish between nobles and commoners in terms of clothing, but it is definitely possible to distinguish between rich and poor.

As the carriage enters the bustling city of Port Lear, Ness no longer cares about Brother Lear, and looks greedily at the shops and crowds outside the window, occasionally pointing to something and asking what it is. If it weren't for hiding her identity, Lear would definitely take her shopping.

The morning sun in Port Lear is shining, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians.

The carriage stopped not far from the Oriental Star porcelain, and Lear and Ness stepped out of the carriage. There was only one female swordsman as a maid, carrying a simple basket behind the two men, and the others were a little farther away, making it impossible to see that the two sides were related.

Lear naturally took Ness's arm and walked towards the china shop, Ness was embarrassed at first, but seeing the crowd coming and going around her, she couldn't help but get close to Lear.

The two men walked slowly into the china shop, and Ness glanced inside and whispered, "Grandpa Hans is not here." ”

Lear smiled and said, "No hurry, let's pretend to pick out porcelain, maybe he'll be here soon." If he doesn't come after a while, we'll ask the clerk where he is. ”

The Oriental Star is a place that specializes in selling mid-to-high-end porcelain, and the cheapest porcelain is also worth ten gold carats. Middle-class families in Port Lear were keen to collect expensive sets of porcelain to entertain and give as gifts.

Ness is particularly fond of porcelain, has a small study of porcelain, and has many porcelain items in her home.
