Chapter 44: Awake

An hour after breakfast, just as Qin Ran was perfecting his plan and thinking about whether there were any loopholes in it, he heard the sound of Mary's footsteps in his ears.

It's in a hurry.

Then came the same slightly hurried knock on the door.

Knock, knock.

Qin Ran opened the door, and Mary walked in quickly, with a rare anger on the face of the underage princess.

She handed the letter in her hand to Qin Ran.

"This is Roque's secret letter to me."

The underage princess said.

Qin Ran unfolded the letter.

It reads like this-

My Honourable Highness,

Your heroism on the battlefield is enough to make anyone submit, and your bravery can be admired by all, but some cannot be called human.

They are powerful and good in ordinary times, but they flee in times of crisis.

Right now!

They're back again.

They not only want to regain their position, but also to reap the fruits of victory.

They threw an olive branch to me.

I refused.

But, I believe, someone will not refuse.

The greed of the human heart is far more terrifying than you imagined, Your Highness.

Please be vigilant.

Your courtier: Roque

……

Qin Ran quickly finished reading the letter.

Then, looking at Mary with a smile on her face.

"It's exactly what we expected, isn't it?"

Qin Ran said.

"Well, even if it's expected."

"But I'm still amazed at how shameless these guys are."

Mary nodded, resentment in her tone.

For the underage princess, nobility has always been a noble title.

She remembers the first time her mother told her the word.

In the winter at Swut Castle, where snow is falling heavily, the fireplace inside the castle is filled with enough firewood to dispel the bitter cold.

She crawled on her mother's lap and listened to the clear, kind voice.

'True nobles are not only to observe their duties, but also to protect the commoners of their realms, they are the bravest knights when they are clothed in battle armor, they are the most courteous people when they are dressed in fine clothes, and their nobility is due to their benevolence and glory. ’

'Mother, are you a nobleman?' ’

'Yes. ’

'That's great!' I can inherit your identity! ’

That's terrible! If my daughter is only blindly seeking the so-called inheritance, then the name of nobility will inevitably be tarnished. ’

'So, what should I do?' ’

'Study, train, and constantly strengthen yourself, even if you don't need to inherit it, you can get a matching identity. ’

……

It was precisely in order to be able to obtain a 'matching identity' that Mary gritted her teeth and advanced by leaps and bounds in her mother's teaching and training.

Before she left Swutburg, she had always believed that nobles had a strong sense of honor and could not hesitate to face difficulties when faced with difficulties.

But in fact?

Hypocrisy, insidiousness, despicable words are really not too much to put on some nobles.

Moreover, in the face of the army of the steppe people, she fled faster than the civilians, which made the underage princess see clearly how different the nobles in her cognition were from the nobles in reality.

Qin Ran looked at Mary's angry appearance and couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on top of her head.

"Nothing is set in stone."

"At the beginning of the founding of Warren, those nobles who relied on military exploits and achievements to obtain aristocratic status were no different from what your mother said."

"They are brave, resilient and brave."

"But that's just themselves, and when it comes to their children and grandchildren, the superior living conditions, far beyond the material comforts of the common people, have corroded their hearts."

Qin Ran said slowly.

"Isn't there a way to change it?"

The underage princess asked with a frown.

"Yes, of course."

"But ......"

"It's up to you to do that."

"After all, you're Warren's queen."

Qin Ran laughed.

"2567, I want you to rule Warren with me."

The underage princess said.

"That's too difficult, I can't do it, so you can do it."

"And me?"

"To help you do something easier, of course."

Qin Ran said and walked towards the outside of the room.

The underage princess looked at Qin Ran's back and was stunned.

Then, the wise princess thought of something, and her face immediately changed.

"2567, wait."

"We have a more secure approach."

Mary shouted as she chased after Qin Ran.

"yes, there's a need for a more secure approach."

"But, it's too slow."

"It's so slow that I can't wait."

Qin Ran's footsteps did not stop, on the contrary, he walked faster and faster, and beside him, a white giant wolf stepped out of the void, his tall figure exuded extraordinary power in the sun, and the head that had just been raised let out a long howl with Qin Ran's order.

Ahh

As the wolf howled, the white wolf began to run.

As soon as Qin Ran turned over, he rode on the body of the white giant wolf and quickly disappeared.

Mary ran as hard as she could, but compared to the speed of the [White Wolf Spirit], it was not a level at all, and she could only watch Qin Ran and the white giant wolf disappear.

Mary didn't give up, though.

Or rather, to renounce such words is not in Mary's dictionary at all.

Whew, swoop.

The underage princess gasped for breath, her steps became heavier and heavier, although she recovered her strength through the secret techniques taught to her by her mother, but compared to the consumption, it was really not enough to see.

At some point, Count Shirin appeared beside Mary.

Looking at his distant cousin and looking at the other party's stubborn appearance, he took a deep breath.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that."

"But ......"

"I envy you."

"Your Excellency 2567, it is far greater than we imagined."

"He's the enemy of all Warren for your sake."

The young Earl whispered.

He knew very well what Qin Ran was going to do.

Better understand what the consequences of doing so are.

But because of this, he admired Qin Ran more and more.

Because that's what he can't do anyway.

"No wonder it can be the white wolf of this term."

"Only such a person can become a white wolf."

"It was rumored that the 'King of the Prairie' was a white wolf, and I still had some belief that he was really blind."

The young count sighed.

"Yes, yes!"

"You are blind to say what you just said."

The words of the princess in the wheezing were slightly difficult, but she tried her best to speak clearly.

The young earl looked at the underage princess in bewilderment.

"Enemies of Warren as a whole?"

"I'm here!"

"How could he be the enemy of all Warren!"

The underage princess said word by word.

The young earl was stunned, he looked at his distant relative incredulously, and seemed to clearly realize what kind of person the other party was at this time.

The young count was stunned.

It was a full ten seconds later, and Mary had gone another hundred meters, before the young count came to his senses.

He looked at the immature and stubborn back, bowed slightly, and said in an inaudible voice.

"Of course, you're right......"

"Your Majesty."
