Katheran is worthy of the name of infatuation, he just goes, without dragging his feet, as if he doesn't care about Brito's qiē at all, anyway, his only relatives are dead, he doesn't want to stay in Britto without Hermia to live alone, even if there are bosses and friends who value him and have deep friendships, but in Kathran's eyes, they are all less important than Hermia alone!

It's no wonder that he didn't have many real friends before he died, and not everyone likes friends who regard women as more important than friends at critical moments.

Xia Lan drove the carriage on the wide and thick road, because the business atmosphere of the Estak trade city-state is unusually strong, and the Estak trade city-state knows the importance of the road to the commercial trade has always attached great importance to the development and maintenance of the road, and even the general remote towns have repaired smooth roads, and the Estak trade city-state has always maintained neutrality in national policy, and rarely has wars and conflicts with neighboring countries, Therefore, the Estak trading city-state can be regarded as a pure land paradise in the eyes of many countries west of the Summer Wind Strait.

Of course, although the trading city-state of Estak is dominated by commercial trade, in terms of military aspects, the trading city-state of Estak is not inferior to any other country.

The predecessor of the Estak trade city-state was the Kingdom of Tatafero, under the constant war contradictions between the Kingdom of Tatafero and nearby neighbors, the royal power of Tatafero began to weaken day by day, and the princes of various places took advantage of the rise of the situation, in order to expand their own power, the princes established a large number of cities, and later the royal family of Tatafero was defeated and destroyed, in order to protect their own interests, the princes of all walks of life established the early Estak Alliance under the promotion of the Vaduz family. And in one fell swoop defeated the army of the neighboring country that invaded the country. And the Estak alliance did not take advantage of the situation to fight back after driving out the armies of the neighboring countries. Instead, a peace treaty was signed with the neighboring countries and a policy of alliance neutrality was declared, and the Estak trading city-state was officially established.

The political system of the Estak trading city-state is different from that of other kingdoms, because the early composition of the city-state was a group of princes, so after the establishment of the city-state, a unique system of town autonomy and a noble council was formed, the noble council decided the policy of the city-state, and the council was composed of princes from various regions, and they enjoyed absolute autonomy and sovereignty over the towns subordinate to the nobility. No one can interfere at will, otherwise the members of the council will collectively launch sanctions!

So every time you go to a town in the trading city-state of Estac, you can see a very different scene, some of the towns are strictly governed, some are loose, some are decaying, some are prosperous, and all in all, you are as surprised as if you are traveling through all kinds of small countries.

The town of Brito, for example, is under the jurisdiction of Baron Fabian, who has a very liberal policy of self-government. And because of the low commercial taxes, many caravans who came and went to trade preferred to trade under the town of Baron Fabian. However, after a while, Xia Lan and the others are about to arrive in the town where they are resting, and the town under the rule of this nobleman has always been very orderly, and many things are taboo, and the slightest carelessness will offend the laws of the town and be severely punished!

The sky gradually darkened, and the outline of the town began to slowly emerge on the distant horizon, because of the rule that the city gate is closed at sunset, so the carriage driven by Xia Lan was much faster, otherwise they would not be able to enter before the city gate closed, and they would have to sleep in the wild tonight!

Neither Kathran nor Hermia had traveled far away, so Charan could only warn them of some things to be aware of, so as not to cause any trouble!

Compared to Hermia's careful listening, Kathran seemed a little unconcerned, maybe he thought in his heart that it would be easy to get into a fight or lose some money, which he often did in Brito anyway!

Before nightfall, Charan and his party finally arrived at the town called Grana.

The town may seem small, but it is much wider than Brito, but Grana is a little less prosperous than Grana, when the carriage is driving on the street, the shops on both sides are closed, even if there are few traces of pedestrians and merchants, so Grana really looks a bit deserted and depressed.

However, the actual situation is that after the city gate is closed, it is not allowed to walk around the streets without permission, otherwise they will be arrested and interrogated for violating the town's laws, so the streets of the town will seem deserted.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Charan quickly found a hotel and arranged accommodation, and the carriage was handed over to the service staff to arrange for care, and after a casual meal, Hermia and Ms. Andleine returned to their rooms to rest, leaving Charan and Katherlan in the lobby still enjoying dinner.

Xia Lan always eats very slowly when he is comfortable, and every bite of food will be chewed carefully before swallowing, as if this can make him feel the true taste of food carefully, seeing this qiē Kathran couldn't help but secretly disdain in his heart, feeling that the other party really looks like a girl when eating, or even a girl, because even Hermia eats a lot faster than the other party, but he doesn't dare to say this lightly, who knows if this guy will find an excuse to kill him.

He was already full, and he didn't leave purely because he needed to ask Xia Lan some questions, but before Xia Lan finished eating, he couldn't speak for the time being, so he could only absent-mindedly scoop the broth and wait patiently.

"I heard you know Hermia's father?"

Finally, when Xia Lan finished dinner and began to wipe her mouth with a napkin, Kathran immediately asked, along the way, he chatted with Hermia in the carriage a lot, and at the same time knew a general about what happened between Xia Lan and them.

"Yes!" After Xia Lan wiped her mouth clean, she reached out and motioned for the service staff to change to a cup of hot water, and her eyes barely looked at Katherland.

Catheran endured the other party's indifference, and suppressed his voice, "If I find out that you dare to deceive Hermia and make her sad, I ......"

"What can you do?" Xia Lan took the hot water politely handed by the service staff and coldly interrupted Caterland's words.

For a moment, Kathrana was speechless, indeed, what can he do with Xia Lan? In terms of strength, the other party may be able to poke himself to death with one finger, and his words are like humiliating himself.

"I want to know, why did you agree with me to go with you?" Catherland's fist clenched tightly under the table, trying his best to keep his emotions from losing his mind.

"Because there are some things that are inconvenient for me to come forward, someone has to deal with them!" Xia Lan slowly drank the hot water in the cup and said nonchalantly.

"You think I'll obey your orders?" Kathran couldn't help but sneer.

"If you don't obey, I'll kill you." Charan understated. "You will never see Hermia again, and she will be in the arms of other men in the future."

In the face of Xia Lan's malicious answer, Kathran stood up angrily, and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding employees and guests.

"Sit down!"

Xia Lan stared at the other party coldly, and those dark and deep eyes seemed to have a mysterious and strange power, forcing Kathran to sit down in silence!

"I know I'm just an insignificant ant in your eyes, but I also have my own dignity!" Kathran gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"But your ridiculous dignity is worthless in front of Hermia." Xia Lan snorted coldly.

Kathran was silent for a long time, perhaps it was Charan's words that stabbed him in the underbelly again.

"If you promise me that you won't hurt and deceive Hermia, I'll follow any instructions you give to arrange!"

"Compromised?" Xia Lan shook her head.

"Do I have a choice?" Katheran was not to be reconciled.

"Nope." Xia Lan said dryly.

"You're such a devil!" Katherland Drive.

"You should be glad you didn't meet me in the form of a real demon." Xia Lan stood up and prepared to leave.

"You haven't promised me yet!" Kathran stood up again, looked at Xia Lan's back, and said loudly.

"The strong never care about the opinions of the weak!" Xia Lan paused, and said without looking back: "But the strong also disdain to deceive the weak." ”

Charan left, and Katheran sat alone in the lobby for a long time, asking for a bottle of wine, and then bottle after bottle, and finally he collapsed drunk on the table in the lobby.

Early in the morning, when Hermia was about to leave, before boarding the carriage, she smelled the smell of wine on Caterland's body, and she was a little angry, because she hated men drinking the most, and she reprimanded the other party, but what she got was Catheran's silence.

It seems that something has changed about him?!

The woman's keen psychology suddenly made Hermia notice the changes in Kathran, she wanted to ask several times, but in the end she gave up, men have their own secrets, why should she ask the bottom of the problem to cause unpleasantness.

However, did she find that Kathran's attitude towards Xia Lan was obviously different, from the initial cold eyebrows to the later bowing ears, is this still the wild and uninhibited Catheran in her impression?

It seemed that something had happened between the two of them that she didn't know, but that was fine, Hermia comforted herself in her heart, at least Kathran would not anger His Excellency Xia Lan again to avoid causing death!

The journey to Port Louis was safe and smooth, although the long journey was boring, as long as there was no trouble, it was very fortunate, and when Hermia often listened to the caravan in the tavern about the experience of traveling far and wide, they always seemed to encounter big and small disasters, such as encountering robbers and bandits, bad weather and difficult to travel, floods, landslides, etc., these things would be encountered more or less on the way to the journey, and the result was that Hermia was worried in vain.
