Chapter 110, Confidence
"Are you Arthur?"
Hearing this aristocratic lady suddenly speak, she said her name, and pointed to the black horse that the woman next to her was riding, and the watery eyes on her face.
Arthur can be sure she knows who she is!
Moreover, this aristocratic girl, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it felt.
But she has an extraordinary memory, but she has no impression in her mind, and she can't remember who she is.
"Does she know you?" asked the mercenary on horseback, leaning over and whispering.
"It seems to be. "It was once said that except for the people in the palace of the Red Keep, no one could recognize himself, Arthur smiled helplessly.
Tentatively asked the noble lady, "We met in the castle?"
"That's right. β
When the woman heard this, she immediately smiled like a flower, and gracefully dismounted to pick up the middle-aged knight who was kicked in severe pain in the abdomen and was trying to get up with a sword.
He said to the frowning young man, "I'm Natalie Gilbert, from the Black Swan family, and I went to the Red Keep three years ago to be a maid for Queen Cersei for a while. β
So that's the case, no wonder they recognize themselves.
Arthur: "Sorry, it's been too long, I don't remember it well. β
Natalie asked the knights to put away their weapons and smiled, "It's not surprising, I only stayed in the Red Fort for half a year, and then because my father died of illness, I came back to help my brother look at the manor."
Of course, it was not easy to serve the queen, and if I accidentally offended her, I was driven home. β
Seeing that the aristocratic girl was constantly in a relationship with Arthur, and had the intention of pulling him to talk for a long time, Selena coughed lightly and reminded, "It's time for us to go." β
Natalie saw the mercenary holding the hare in her hand and said, "Arthur, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?
A short walk on horseback to my family's Gilbert Manor. β
This aristocratic girl was a little overenthusiastic about herself, but her good attitude made people embarrassed to refuse, which made Arthur quite embarrassed: "Still no, I'm in a hurry to go to the school city." β
"That's right, we're going to the school city too, why don't we go together?" Natalie's eyes lit up, as if she was very eager to go to the school city.
After saying goodbye to the young man, he said to another noble girl beside him with a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry Jenna, I can't play with you anymore." β
Jenna, a noble girl with freckles on her face, was puzzled, but her friend's eyes showed pleading, and she still nodded in agreement: "Then you go." β
"So, Uncle Jack, could you please escort Jenna back? I want to go with Arthur to the school. β
Hearing the girl's words, the middle-aged knight in the lead frowned tightly, and after a moment of silence, he nodded, "It is my duty to serve you." β
"Thank you so much. β
Selena raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and whispered to the prince beside her: "She seems to want to rely on you." β
Arthur was also depressed: "To be honest, I don't have any impression of her at all. β
"Then do you think she will betray you?" Selena picked up three torches bundled together, handed them over to the prince to light them, continued to roast the hare, and asked, "Why don't you just leave here?"
The boy scratched his head: "Except for her, no one else should know about me, just run away for fear of angering her and revealing our whereabouts." β
watched as more than a dozen people left, leaving only Johnson and the two knights, as well as Natalie and her trusted handmaiden.
There are no outsiders.
The aristocratic girl immediately took the four people around her, walked quickly to the young man, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Natalie Gilbert has met His Royal Highness Arthur Saint Lorain!"
Hearing Miss Gilbert's words, Johnson and the maid were stunned, and immediately knelt down and saluted the prince respectfully.
Seeing this, Arthur shook his head helplessly and waved his hand to let the five of them get up.
"No need to be so polite. β
Natalie: "That's as it should be. β
"But, Natalie, you're going to school with us?"
"Your Highness, please, after all, we haven't seen each other for more than three years, wouldn't it be nice to chat together on the road?"
"It's dangerous to follow me, and we don't have much money, so we have to poach food. β
"It doesn't matter, although our Gilbert family is not rich, we are willing to take care of all the expenses on the road, and we will not let Your Highness go hungry. β
A noble girl with a serious face who looks pretty.
Selena touched the prince with her elbow and whispered: "She doesn't just want to rely on you, looking at this posture, it seems that she also wants to be your wife." β
"Although I'm just a mercenary and haven't seen many noble ladies, this girl is very scheming and ambitious, you can't control it, be careful. β
The mercenary lowered her voice and leaned into the prince's ear to speak.
Natalie was in front of them, five or six paces away, and couldn't hear the mercenary clearly.
But she had already guessed a lot, and her eyes showed cunning, and she said: "Your Highness, because of Cersei Lannister's orders, Count Dondelion did not bring the ghouls to King's Landing, nor did he take them to the school city, so he had to continue south.
I heard that she has also secretly sent troops to blockade the school city, preventing the school city from sending doctors and bachelors north to help, and our Gilbert family has a caravan, so I can help avoid the soldiers' inspection. β
Hearing this, Selena suddenly looked surprised.
The mercenary was not mistaken, this aristocratic girl was indeed very scheming, she could even guess what she was worried about, and took the initiative to help solve the trouble.
"Looks like you're going to accept her kindness. β
"The caravan will depart late at the earliest, so why don't your highness go to my family's Gilbert Manor for a short rest and have a lunch?"
Since he had to accept the help, it was not easy to refuse the invitation, so Arthur nodded and said, "Okay." β
Letting the three knights of Johnson get on their horses, Natalie looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, we have two horses missing...
I don't know if you mind, share a ride with me?"
Arthur frowned suddenly: "It's not good for men and women to kiss each other." β
Seeing the prince's refusal, Natalie was not annoyed, let alone embarrassed, and naturally looked at the mercenary next to the young man: "Then this lady, are you willing to ride with me?"
Selena shrugged her shoulders and chuckled, "I don't care, but why don't you just ride a horse, I'm sure your knight will give up his horse." β
When Johnson heard this, he immediately dismounted: "Miss, ride my horse." β
"Okay, thank you Johnson. β
Turning over the horse, the educated and connotative noble lady drove to the young man's side, looked at him with a smile, and asked curiously and softly: "Your Highness, I heard that you have been to Essos, what is it like there?"
Selena doesn't like such a scheming woman, and she's afraid she has some conspiracy.
I'm not very smart, and I don't know if I'm afraid of being sold.
And the prince to protect is still very naΓ―ve, he is invulnerable to the protection of the holy light when he falls into danger, and he is confident that he can fight his way out of the encirclement.
But she doesn't have the ability to do that!
For the sake of prudence, as well as Heinly and Anne, they immediately answered, "I want to know Essos? I grew up over there, and I want to know what to ask me." β
"Really?" The aristocratic girl with a charming smile on her lips didn't mind at all, "Then have you seen the Titans of Braavos?"
β... Haven't seen it. β
Selena, whose main range of activities is south of Essos, was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Sensing the big sword on the mercenary's back, Natalie said, "I heard that the Dothraki Sea has a different scenery from Westeros, and those Dothraki are fierce and savage, is it true?"
"Yes, that's right. β
Listening to the mercenary's dry answer, Arthur shook his head and said, "The sea of grass is indeed a beautiful scenery, and the green grass and green land are endless.
When the weather is good, the sky is blue during the day, and the scenery composed of green grass and blue sky is intoxicating, and at night, the silver moon hangs high, the stars are dotted, and the grassland under the light is another charming picture......
