Chapter 20: Her Royal Highness the Princess
(There's another chapter later.,Irregular double changes.,After all, there's something else to be busy with.) In addition, friends who read books should play in the book review area, otherwise they will be so tired. )
"Princess?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but look at the blonde girl when he heard the words of the guard, who was out of breath.
Yes, Zhou Yan finally understood where that strange feeling came from.
Although the girl and the dark-haired woman behind her were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, the fabric of the clothes was not ordinary if you looked closely. And when she was talking just now, her demeanor always revealed an elegant and decent noble temperament. Plus that necklace around her neck.
Zhou Yan didn't know much about jewelry, but even he, a layman, could see that the drop-shaped pendant on the necklace was not ordinary.
And the black-haired woman standing with her hands folded behind the girl is more convincing than a companion as a servant.
Such a girl is not ordinary no matter how you look at it. Now that this young man who looks like a guard is shouting at the princess again, Zhou Yan is very suspicious that this girl is the city lord of Winter Rock City, Princess Louise, the third princess of the Pande Kingdom? Moreover, in terms of age, Princess Louise has just turned twelve this year, and this girl's age is also very suitable.
When Zhou Yan looked at the girl, the others also cast their eyes one after another. This time, it was noticed by people's eyes, but the girl's face no longer had any shyness-related expressions, and she calmly accepted all kinds of eyes.
At this time, the guard, who had relieved himself a little, also looked at the girl, and the guard said with some doubts: "Gong, Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”
This is not to blame him, after all, he usually has no chance to see Her Royal Highness the princess in high up. The only time was when Her Royal Highness the princess had just inherited the position of city lord two years ago, and he had seen it from afar as a guard who was being reviewed.
"So, what's the matter with you?" It wasn't the girl who spoke, and the cold voice came from the black-haired woman who had been standing behind her before: "It's rude not to stay in Winter Rock City and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess in such an unorthodox outfit!" ”
This sentence is already an acknowledgment of the identity of the blonde girl.
It's just that the black-haired woman's words seemed to have burst a powder keg, and the young man of the guard, who was originally exhausted, suddenly exploded.
"Unorthodox?" The guard asked rhetorically, "Do you know how much struggle I went through to find you?" ”
"I left my wife behind! Just to inform you that Winterstone City is now under attack by demons! Is it at this time that the so-called royal family still has to take care of the system? ”
This guard is Rudy, who came all the way from Winterstone. No one knows what kind of struggle Rudy has been through. After escaping the inner city where the princess lived with the help of Guò Grudo, Rudy fled all the way out of the city.
But on the way, he stopped at a certain intersection for a full five minutes. It was he struggling, with two responsibilities on his shoulders, and at this time he had to let go of one for the time being.
From here, turn down the street and you'll reach his home. He was worried about his wife, but if he went to find her, Rudy would be delayed even longer. And he was afraid to see what he didn't want to see.
At the same time, Grudo's last words also have that decisive scene, even Rudy, who is not a knight and never talks about glory, cannot betray Grudo like this.
In the midst of the torment, Rudy is at the intersection where screams and fights can be heard from time to time. No forward, no backward.
Just one look, just one look. Rudy comforted himself, but he couldn't move his steps. He wasn't sure if his wife was still at home, and in case she wasn't, Rudy knew he would keep looking until he found her. Then it would be too late to go to Alhead and inform Her Highness the Princess.
The legs were as heavy as lead, and it was so uncomfortable to lift them up. However, Rudy had not had much time to think, and footsteps sounded behind him, and when he turned around, there was a bright blade and the cold and bloodthirsty eyes of the demons.
Unable to hesitate, Rudy ran, heading out of the city. The wind brought by the running made Rudy's eyes hurt a little, and he could only run faster and run faster to release the suffocating feelings.
After Rudy's outburst, his face suddenly turned pale. People always don't care about the consequences when they are excited, but when they calm down a little, Rudy realizes that he is actually angry with the princess who is high up.
The dark-haired woman looked unhappy, but she didn't reprimand Rudy. Princess Louise stepped out from behind the black-haired woman with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry that because of my willfulness, you have made such a big sacrifice." ”
Is that acting, or is it real? Zhou Yan couldn't judge, but it didn't matter to him. Although after learning that the other party was Her Royal Highness the Princess, he had a sense of restraint. But if you think about it, you are not from this country, or even from this world. I don't have any interests with the other party, so it seems that there is no need to continue to stay here and watch the show.
Zhou Yan, who had made up his mind in his heart, walked towards the village, he planned to find a villager to ask for directions, and then leave the place.
"Please wait." But Princess Louise stopped him.
Zhou Yan turned around suspiciously, looked at Princess Louise, and pointed to himself. After getting the other party's affirmative nod, Zhou Yan asked suspiciously, "Me?" What are you looking for me? ”
"Can you tell me your name?"
"Zhou Yan."
"Mr. Zhou Yan is an adventurer, right? Can you please help me? Princess Louise looked at Zhou Yan sincerely.
Zhou Yan, who had already expected this kind of development, was a little speechless, but he still maintained a polite tone: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't think I have the ability to change the outcome of this kind of war. And, it doesn't seem like you're surprised at all about the demons? ”
Louise, who was questioned by Zhou Yan, shook her head, with a gentle expression on her face: "I believe that this Mr. Guard will not be covered in dust and panting just to deceive me." Moreover, I don't think the feelings he just revealed are fake. ”
"Yes. Then good luck. Zhou Yan nodded, and then continued to walk towards the village.
"Please, help me." Behind him came the earnest voice of Princess Louise. Meantime......
"Your Highness the Princess!" The black-haired woman spoke up, obviously dissatisfied with Louise's low profile to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was a little helpless, did he really have a virgin face? Although the previous behavior was full of the attributes of the Holy Mother, he was really not a Holy Mother.
Turning around, Zhou Yan pointed to Xia Luo, who had been standing in the distance without saying a word from the beginning, and Bai Yin, who maintained the posture of being thrown to the ground by Zhou Yan: "Although I don't know why you think so highly of me, but that person and this cat lying on the ground are the ones who almost put me to death." So, if Her Royal Highness thinks I'm that powerful, these two people shouldn't be much different. ”
Zhou Yan's unceremonious speech made the black-haired woman frown.
But he didn't care about that, and continued: "Besides, I really don't have the ability to change a war, and I don't want to lose my life like this. So, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you should hurry to a safe place to save your life. ”
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he turned around again and walked towards the center of the village.
"I, I know, I know! Wow! However, what everyone present did not expect was that Louise, who went from shy to calm, showing the demeanor of a princess, suddenly cried: "I know you have no ability to change and change the war, but, but I can't find anyone to help...... Wow......"
"Yan, it's a crying girl......" Li's voice of complaining sounded in his head.
Zhou Yan also found that the other women present, including Yoyo and the little girl, were all looking at him with disdainful eyes at the moment.
"Hey, please, how do you act like I'm doing something wrong! I simply turned down an impossible task! Zhou Yan looked at the others innocently.
"But Yan made the girl cry." At the moment, only Li is still complaining dutifully.
"Okay. It's my words that are heavy. Although Zhou Yan was reluctant in his heart, he still apologized to Louise: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude." ”
"Wow......"
However, Louise was still crying, and as for the black-haired woman standing beside her, she already had a faint tendency to go berserk, and her eyes looking at Zhou Yan were becoming more and more dangerous.
"Please stop crying, I really know it's wrong." Zhou Yan covered his forehead, he now felt that if a person really had a past life, then it must have been his previous life that caused him too many sins to come to this world.
However, Louise was still crying, and the more she cried, the more fierce she became. Zhou Yan was helpless, so he could only say: "Okay, I promise to walk with you for a while, but let's talk about it first......"
"Well, I forgive you."
"I'm definitely not going back to Winterstone...... Huh? ”
I saw that when Louise, who was still wiping tears with both hands just now, put down her hand, she didn't see a tear at all. With a shallow smile on his face, he looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, your acting skills have improved again." The black-haired woman's dangerous aura also suddenly converged, she bowed slightly, and said to Louise.
"Hee-hee. You're too, Margaret" Louise's face was as innocent and cute as a child of this age should be.
"You're wrong." The woman named Margaret bowed her head humbly.
At this time, Zhou Yan only felt that he was really stupid.
"Yan is still too young." The glass in his mind said in an old-fashioned tone.
"yes." However, to her surprise, Zhou Yan did not refute.
