Anthony and Arina walked side by side, leading the way.

Caton was with several royal guards dressed as ordinary family guards, and fell far behind.

People's young men and women are talented and beautiful, and when they talk together, no matter how lacking their eyesight, they know that they shouldn't come forward to disturb their eyes.

If they could hear the conversation between the two, they might hold their foreheads with one hand and sigh that they were worrying about it.

"Arina, it doesn't look like we're going to the palace on this route, right?"

This was the question posed by the teenager.

"That's right. When did I say I was going to take you to the palace? ”

The girl replied cheerfully and slyly.

"Uh, didn't we say yes yesterday?" Anthony was a little puzzled.

Arina giggled, a little proud: "Yesterday I said that I would take you to see my father, but I didn't say that I must enter the palace today." ”

Anthony was stunned, speechless.

It stands to reason that Arina has been annoyed by the idiot prince of the Riga Empire for two years, and she has long hated it to the extreme. Now that we see hope for a solution to this big problem, or at least an opportunity worth trying, shouldn't we hurry up and put it into action?

Looking at her performance now, she doesn't seem to be worried at all, what's going on?

Arina looked at his puzzled expression and sighed faintly.

"You know I've been bothered by this problem for two years and haven't seen any hope of relief. In such a situation, what mood do I have to play? I thank you for coming, really. You are the first person to actually sketch out a plan and have the courage to make it happen step by step. ”

"However, your help this time, this plan, may be my last hope. I don't dare to hope that there will be another chance. So, just a little time before this answer is revealed, can you have a good time with me? Even if the final plan failed, in the last period of my life, at least I was happy and rejoicing. ”

Anthony's heart sank.

He heard a hint of ominous taste from the girl's words, and he also saw the determination and determination in the girl's eyes.

If your plan doesn't work out as expected, maybe, no, for sure. Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely choose the most drastic way to completely solve this big trouble.

Suddenly, Anthony felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy.

Along with it, there is also a faint heartache.

For Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, a once-brief combat partner, Anthony was unsure of whether he harbored love or not.

As early as the first time he passed through the trade route, Owen told him about the troubles that the princess of the empire was in. But at that time, he only felt that this proud girl of heaven was a little pitiful, and then, there was no other thought.

Ever since he learned by chance that the poor princess was actually the Arlina he knew. For a moment, Anthony had the urge to put down everything he was doing and rush to the imperial capital immediately.

He had always thought that this was the mentality of a friend, a former combat partner. When a friend is in trouble, shouldn't he try his best to help him?

But at this moment, feeling the clear sting in his heart, Anthony finally understood that his affection for this beautiful girl was not just a simple friendship.

"Don't take it too extreme, there's never just one solution. Even if my plan falls through, we can still look for another opportunity again. Leave everything to me, just like when you were in Hengling. Remember, I will always stand in front of you and fight off all enemies for you. ”

Arlina smiled, for the first time in two years, so heartily and so comfortably.

The boy really doesn't say anything that makes the opposite sex feel excited and loved, and even if he doesn't say anything at all. However, this kind of hard words that are responsible and can give the girl trust and a sense of security make Her Royal Highness the princess feel a strange sense of relief.

"Well, I don't want anything, I'll leave it all to you! But more than 700 days and nights have survived, and sooner or later it is not bad for such a day. Since you're out, why don't you take a walk with me? ”

Arlina grabbed Anthony's hand and shook it vigorously, looking at him pitifully with big watery eyes, like a cute kitten waiting to be fed by its owner.

Where has Anthony ever encountered such a battle? Feeling her hot gaze and smelling the faint girlish fragrance emanating from her body, I only felt that the smart mind that I was most proud of in the past fell into complete paralysis at this moment, and nodded in a daze.

"Then let's go to Corning Street!" The girl's brisk voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and beautiful.

"Corning Avenue?" Anthony's somewhat confused brain hasn't fully returned to normal functioning, but he just instinctively vaguely feels that things are a little wrong.

Located in the eastern part of the imperial capital, Kangning Avenue is a long, straight street. There are not too many shops on both sides of the street, but there are stalls one after another. The stalls are naturally not high-end and valuable items. It is mostly some trinkets, handicrafts, children's ** and other gadgets.

This kind of place is the favorite place for some women and children whose families are relatively financially poor. Of course, you can often find some low-priced but very desirable goods from a certain corner. Therefore, this Kangning Avenue is quite famous in the imperial capital.

Of course, the fame referred to here only spreads among the citizens of the middle and lower classes of the pyramid of the imperial capital.

No matter how you look at it, this is not the place where a dignified imperial princess should come.

But Arlina had just arrived, and it seemed that she was no stranger to this place.

Anthony stayed by her side, watching her cheerful figure go from stall to stall. I couldn't put it down, picking out small commodities with a price of less than a fraction of the clothes on her body, bargaining with the stall owner for a few copper plates, and finally gave up helplessly because the price could not be negotiated.

Anthony, whose mind has regained his clarity, knows very well what the pleasure of a girl is. It seems that "you don't need to bargain, I'll pay" seems to be a bold but stupid local tyrant behavior, of course he won't do it.

Perhaps, as Arlina said, it has been suppressed for too long. In any case, it was a rare opportunity to relax completely, and her interest was very high today.

Corning Avenue alone can't fully fill her itinerary today. As a result, three similar stall gathering places in the vicinity were also included in her hunting targets.

Anthony didn't feel bored or impatient.

Because the little nobleman Xu Feng, who claims to be the prodigal son of love, often boasts, one of which is that when he hears that he wants to accompany a woman shopping, his face does not change, and he is calm. Indirectly, it also affected Anthony, making him feel how hard and difficult this activity is.

But it turns out that at least accompanying Alina to go shopping did not make Anthony feel bored and bored.

The sun sets, and the afterglow spreads the ground.

The soft and warm sunlight falls on the body, making people lazy and not want to move.

Two young boys and girls lay side by side on the grass, their hands behind their heads, quietly watching the beautiful scenery of dusk on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

"It's so beautiful! I really want to just lie quietly, don't think about anything, don't do anything. ”

Arlinna squinted her eyes slightly, and said softly.

Anthony didn't speak.

He knew that at this time, all the girl needed was a quiet audience.

"Seriously, a lot of times, how I wish I had just been born into an ordinary family. In that case, my father and I, as well as other relatives, would have lived a simpler life without having to live so tiringly. ”

"The family and the country are one, and family affairs are national affairs. Personal loves, hats, likes and dislikes have all become insignificant in the face of national affairs. Even if you sacrifice your lifelong happiness for this, it is also a great righteousness and a matter of course. ”

"Hehe, this is the imperial royal family, this is the imperial princess. What a glory! How honorable! How, helpless......"

Long.

Anthony didn't hear the girl's movements, and looked sideways.

I saw that her face was calm, and there was a sarcastic and stubborn smile on the corner of her mouth. The breathing was long and steady, but the eyes were already quietly closed.

The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and I wondered if she could have a good dream while she was sleeping.

Anthony looked at her delicate and flawless white and beautiful face, and was stunned for a moment.
