"This—" Hearing Brad say this, Guillaume finally wavered, he gradually let go of the reins, Brad turned his horse's head and looked at the villa for the last time, sighed that he finally rode away, and we left the Mach villa after him.

"Is it really good not to be separated from the earl?" On the way I asked Brad.

"My father's health is not good, I don't want to stimulate him in person anymore, and if I really see him, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to leave..."Brad said this, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little sadness.

"I see, so where are you going next?"

"I don't know, let's make this a home first, I think sooner or later I'll find what I want to do."

"If you have to live until that time," I sneered.

"I understand that in this day and age, it is not easy to live alone... I was ready to go when I left home..."

"It's not enough to be determined, the world is far more cruel than you think."

"I know, so I'll ask you for more advice from now on."

"Why, do you want to follow us all the time?"

"Can't you?" Brad was amazed.

"Of course, you know what we're doing with us?" Of course, I almost lost my luck, thinking that after all, I was a son, and I was really simple to think about the problem.

"Aren't you mercenaries?"

"And what if we lie?"

"I don't see it."

"Please, people are unpredictable, do you think you can see it just by your own experience?"

"Of course not, it's just that my father's health has been bad all these years, I manage the family business on his behalf, and I've been in contact with a lot of people of all kinds, so I ask myself if the other party is good or bad, and I can still tell if I'm still able to tell if I don't even have this basic vision, then I deserve it even if I die..."

Listening to the tone, this boy seems to have been experimenting with a few of us from the beginning, and for a while I really shouldn't say that he has the courage or no brains. However, in any case, with our current situation, we must not take him with us, so I had to say, "Young Master..."

"Don't, I'm no longer a young master now. If only you called me Bled..."

"Oh, well, Brad, as you know, our gang are all mercenaries, in other words, working for people's lives, the risk is too great, there is a danger of losing your head anytime and anywhere, it is too unsafe for you to follow us."

"It's okay, I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry."

"That's not the problem... Let's be clear, you're a burden to us now, and it's going to get in the way of us a lot..."

"Oh.... That's the case..."Brad nodded when he heard this, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, I couldn't help but feel a little soft in my eyes, although it was a last resort, but what I said just now would be too straightforward?

Fortunately, Brad was far more open-minded than I thought, he was silent for a while, and immediately showed an indifferent smile on his face: "It seems that I am too willful, and I have unknowingly caused trouble to everyone, in that case, let's break up, I am very happy to meet you, I hope there will be a chance to meet in the future..."

Hearing Brad say this, several of us suddenly felt a little unhappy, although we have only known each other for two days, but for this young nobleman, all of us have a good impression in our hearts, and feel sympathy for his life experience, just break up like this, everyone is still a little sad in their hearts, but there is no way, now we are all criminals wanted by the Holy Court, it is good to be able to protect ourselves, or don't drag others down, so in the end we chose to part ways at a fork in the road.

"By the way, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to the St. Bes Basin to find the owner of Martier, she runs a large ranch there, she should need manpower, you take this ring, show her when the time comes, she will naturally take care of you." As she was leaving, the princess seemed to think of something, took off a ring from her hand, and gave it to Brad.

"It's too precious... I can't take it..."To say that Brad is really a standard old-school aristocrat, he immediately excused himself when he saw this.

But the princess didn't care so much, so she immediately shoved the ring into his hand and said, "Take it, if it's something really great, can I give it to you?" If you really want to live alone in the future, you must first change this set of red tape between the nobles, or you will suffer sometimes."

Hearing the princess say this, Brad couldn't refuse, so he had to take the ring into his arms embarrassedly: "Okay, since that's the case, thank you for your kindness. We'll see you later."

"Hopefully."

With that, Brad smiled at us, and galloped off into the distance, while the few of us silently watched as his figure disappeared into the end of the skyline.

"Do you think this kid will survive in the future?" Seeing that Brad was gone, Ellie couldn't help but mumble beside me. I smiled and didn't answer, on the one hand I didn't want to say something discouraged, but at the same time I didn't want to lie.

"He's a good man, I hope the gods can bless him..."

"Hehe, if good people can have good rewards, the world wouldn't be the way it is now..."Hearing Ah Zi say this, I couldn't help but sneer and complain, at the time we all thought that this was just an episode in the trip, and we and Brad might never see each other again in this life, but later it turned out that we were once again played by the wheel of fortune...

After parting ways with Brad, we went straight to Port Villars, where there was a stronghold of the "Templars", and the princess wanted to inquire through her acquaintances why we were wanted, so we didn't dare to enter the city immediately to avoid revealing our identities, but bribed a merchant who had entered the city to ask him to send a letter and ask him to meet outside the city, while a few of us hid in the vicinity and waited.

"Is that friend of yours reliable? You won't betray us then, will you?" The waiting process was boring, and Ellie, the youngest of us, was the least patient and began to pester the princess and asked.

"No, Sheldon is a member of my clan, and he joined the Templar in the first place to follow me, so he probably wouldn't betray us." The princess is categorical, but it's no wonder she's so confident, everyone knows that the clan concept of the elves has always been extremely important, although it doesn't mean that the same clan is absolutely like a family, but most of the time it is still extremely united, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the princess was originally very prestigious in the tribe...

"It's hard to say, the husband and wife may not be able to believe it when the disaster comes..."I don't know if it's my delusion, along the way, I always feel that Ellie likes to target the princess, and I don't know what conflicts there are between the two of them.

However, the princess's bearing is naturally much greater than that of Ellie, and she is not angry at the moment, and said in a low voice: "This is natural, otherwise we don't have to make a special appointment to meet in such a ghost place, if he comes for a while, Kane and I will go down to receive him, you two don't show up for the time being, if there is any accident, don't worry about us, run first."

"This won't work, so what are you going to do?" Sure enough, the kindest person at the critical time is Ah Zi.

"Kane and I are the strongest in our group, if the two of us can deal with it, you don't have to come forward at all, on the contrary, if even the two of us can't deal with it, it's useless for you to interfere, instead of being wiped out, it's better to let the two of you go first, maybe there is a possibility to rescue us..."

"But..."Ah Zi wanted to explain, but suddenly the princess's ears moved, and she hurriedly made a quiet gesture to everyone.
