Chapter 191: Doubts
Princess Kate's words brought the atmosphere to a freezing point. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info except for Xuanyu, who was still relaxed, everyone else had a heavy face. Mo An had already seen that this princess was a hot potato, and a careless one would make a big deal, and what he said just now also confirmed his idea, and he turned his head to look at Louie, who was frowning. Mo Anxin was thinking about how to refuse Louie's request to keep Princess Kate at Crescent Moon Manor.
At first, Louis had no idea of leaving the princess behind, and she kept thinking about how to coax the princess back as soon as possible, but things were far from what she could have predicted. There are some things that don't want to not mean that they don't exist, and it's time to study what the princess said, if it's really the Praetorian Guards, then what is their purpose? and who is the person who instructed them? Until this is figured out, the princess can't return to China, she can only stay in Crescent Manor, that is the safest. Thinking like this, she turned her head to look at Mo An, who was elegantly stirring the cup of tea in her hand, looking straight at her, but she didn't really look at anyone. Louie felt a faint feeling of suffocation squeezing against her.
For a while, silence spread like a plague, and even Lucia, who usually liked to interject the most, was silent. She just lowered her head and silently ate the leftovers on her plate. However, there was no taste in her mouth, she raised her head, and inadvertently, her eyes skimmed over the white neck of Xuanyu who was sitting opposite, and in an instant, the picture of Xuanyu's neck bleeding on the boat crossed Lucia's mind like lightning, she was so frightened that her body shook uncontrollably, her fear came from the evil thoughts in her heart at that moment, sucking up Xuanyu's blood! Although it was only for a moment, just having this thought made Lucia feel extremely uneasy.
Princess Kate's words came to an abrupt end at a critical point, but looking at her current expression, she did not want to continue, and was replaced by endless silence. Finally, Xuanyu, who had been out of the situation, stood up: "Today's dinner is also delicious, I don't know how everyone feels? I'm very happy to meet the princess of Tarte today." He turned to Princess Kate, "I've always had a question, I don't know if I can ask the princess to help me answer it." Although it sounded like a request, Xuanyu didn't wait for Princess Kate's reply and asked directly: "Where is your other maid Mires? Don't get me wrong, I have pretended to be her, so I naturally care a little." ”
The princess raised her head and looked incredulous: "Pretending to be ...... What does she mean?"
Xuanyu was just about to open his mouth, and the following words were picked up by Louis beside him: "You don't have to care about this, he just wants to know what happened to you next?" I don't know if Xuanyu's move was intentional or unintentional, but this is a good opportunity for the princess to continue, and Louis also wants to know the follow-up events.
Princess Kate took a deep breath, licked her dry lips, and continued, "As Lucia said, in the Misty Forest, I was rescued by a man and a woman, and Mielth escaped. Our plan was to get to the docks, hop on a random ship, and leave Egreem, but it didn't work out repeatedly. Egrem is not big but not small, and it took us three days to find the docks, but the thieves had already set a trap on the docks. Although I had the protection of the 'floating clouds', I couldn't ignore Meels, so I hid in the wine alley near the docks, waiting for an opportunity to act. But the thieves lingered on the docks for days and refused to leave, and gradually our food was gone, and Meles could not bear to starve, so she went out quietly to find something to eat, and unfortunately they found it......" Princess Kate's eyes were full of tears, but what was revealed was the terrible anger in her eyes.
"I saw that the gang had captured Meelth, and she was desperately shouting for me not to come out, to leave her alone! But I couldn't have done anything like that, and just as I was about to take off the 'Floating Clouds' in front of them, Meles ......" Princess Kate choked, "she pulled out the saber from the waist of the man who held her, and killed herself!" The princess's teeth clucked, "Before she died, she ripped off the man's coat, and I saw that the man was wearing a Praetorian Guard uniform!"
The princess glared at Louis fiercely as she said this. Although she knew that Louis and the gang were not all the way, the uniform on her body made the princess irrepressibly disgusted: "I was shocked by Miel's actions, and at the same time surprised by the identity of the thief, I accidentally knocked over the wine jar placed in the alley, and the mana of the 'floating clouds' disappeared, and I couldn't care much about it, so I just fled." At that time, I was only thinking about delaying the time so that the 'floating clouds' could recover, but they chased and intercepted them, and almost fell into the hands of thieves several times. By chance, I ran all the way and somehow ended up in the woods behind Crescent Manor. The gang was also strange, chasing before they came close but did not dare to take half a step, which gave 'Floating Clouds' time to recover. However, when I became invisible again, I felt that there was no safer place in the whole of Agrim, and it happened that I found an uninhabited hut in the woods, so I stayed here. After a long time, I saw that there was a boat anchored on the nearby beach, and it seemed that it was about to sail, so I secretly got on the boat, but I didn't expect to bump into you crazy people!"
"That hut should have been set up by Arteb to keep an eye on us, but it has been empty since his death, and I didn't bother to demolish it, but I didn't expect it to become a princess's shelter. Mo An sighed, "Cause and effect go back and forth, and things in this world are really wonderful." ”
"When we pretended to be princesses, who would have thought that the real princess would be in the woods behind the manor!" Lucia also sighed, "If you want to say that the world is really big or small, it is not too big to say small. ”
"Wait, you've pretended to be me?" Princess Kate questioned again, and although Louis had vaguely taken her the first time, this time she could no longer prevaricate in any case.
"It's very simple, I'm a merchant from the East," just as Louis's face turned pale, Xuanyu came out to play a round, "I wanted to visit the Reynor Palace, but that place was not accessible to a small people like me, so I dared to borrow the name of the princess." As he spoke, Xuanyu looked at Louis and continued, "But in the end, I was seen through by this Praetorian Guard captain, but she had a lot of adults and let us live, so we became friends." A lie cleaned Louie's cleans.
"It's such a Reino Palace, even the people in the market can easily blend in. The contempt in Princess Kate's words made Louis feel very uncomfortable, but she was right, Reynor Palace is just famous, even some family backgrounds have been emptied by Xuanyu and them this time.
"But......" the princess said again, "I am really wronged to say that you are a small citizen." Her eyes wandered, looking up and down Xuanyu's body, "The first time I saw you, I knew that you were not an ordinary person, and I knew that 'Floating Clouds' was enough, and even its predecessor, 'Hidden Soul Pair'. ”
"As a businessman, I have naturally heard some news. Xuanyu replied.
The corners of Princess Kate's mouth rose slightly, and she nodded at the same time. Although this action was made, her expression was a little suspicious, and then she threw away her knife and fork and stood up: "I'm full, I'm going to rest!"
"Princess, princess!" Louis called a few times, but the other party did not seem to hear him, and walked away. Louis didn't force it when she saw this, after all, she hadn't figured out a way to coax the princess to return to China.
"The princess must go back, and please let her stay here until then. Louis finally made the request to Moan.
"She is a princess, and the matter is involved in the war between the two countries, and my small Crescent Manor can't afford to bear the heavy responsibility. Mo An, who had been thinking about how to refuse for a long time, said calmly.
"I should have taken her to Reino's Palace, but if it was as the princess said, the thieves should be Alex and they were correct, wouldn't that be a sheep?" Louis worried.
"You doubt Alex?" Xuanyu suddenly interjected, "It doesn't make sense!"
"What do you mean by that?" Louis said in confusion.
"If it's Alex, how can we not be exposed for pretending to be a princess?" said Xuanyu, a smile rising into her mouth, "especially since he has a soft spot for me, Miel. ”
Listening to Xuanyu's words, the suspicion in Louis's eyes became even thicker: "Although I am wearing the uniform of the Praetorian Guard, I can vouch in the name of the captain, and it is not my 'Deep Spring' faction." But if it's not Alex, who else can there be?"
"Could it be that there is still a Praetorian Guard?" Lucia's casual words made Louis's heart beat faster, and although it didn't sound reasonable, it was actually very likely.
Egreem, although it is his homeland, but a series of events have made Louis more and more unable to see clearly! Is this really the Egrim who protects and fights for himself?
