"I sent someone to follow, but it was ......"

"But what?" Looking at his subordinates' tangled looks, Angelo also frowned.

"But the girl who was with Her Royal Highness the princess is very weird, obviously our people are very careful to follow behind, but I don't even know when she was thrown away." The man was also very helpless about this, you must know that the people he sent were not only good at fighting, but also in the sneak tracking, if it weren't for the importance of His Royal Highness to Princess Dalena, he would not have been able to send those people out, after all, a good knife is used on a steel blade, and it is too small to be useful if it is only a guard task, but now it seems that it ...... It doesn't seem to even be useful, of course, he is happy to see more powerful people, although the place where the two of them are going is a little too dangerous.

She ...... Is there any sign that the princess has been taken hostage? Although he didn't want it to be like this, Angelo preferred that it was not his sister's own will than his own decision, after all, the act of going to Duverton Forest was a manifestation of something abnormal in his mind. Well, turning back into the black-bellied girl he used to be, at least that's what he doesn't want to see anyway.

"No, the subordinates saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, and they should go together." For this, the man also felt very strange, after all, he still knew a little about the princess Dalena, although it was a very smart girl, yes, but no matter how smart it was, what could it be? Could it be that the mutant beasts still have your IQ? He didn't believe it, at least not until he saw it with his own eyes.

"So...... Then let our men withdraw. ”

"Your Highness?" Seeing Angelo sitting on a stool and slowly closing his eyes, the man didn't know why he was a little flustered in his heart.

"We made an agreement at the beginning, since it was Dalena's own decision, then I won't stop her......" Just pay attention, don't bother, this is the promise he gave Dalena, Angelo knows that his sister wants to be free, so even if it is superficial, he will fully support, just because he doesn't want to see the girl like at the beginning.

"I see." What else can I do if I don't understand? After all, he was just a guard, all he had to do was follow orders, and as for the rest, he believed that his Highness would have his own considerations.

This matter was finally settled on Angelo's side, just like Xiao Yueluo, he also had a lot to do, because of Ronald's sudden transfer, he also received some information from there.

"What do you think about what the second brother said?" After the messenger guard left, Angelo turned his gaze to Ray Hodge on the side, and at the same time took out a thin list and threw it on the table.

"This is ......" Lei looked at the things in his hand at a glance, and he didn't pay much attention to his face, but with the passage of time, his face became more and more solemn.

"Looks like you've got an idea." Seeing Ray Hodge look up suddenly, just looking at that expression, Angelo roughly knew what the person in front of him was going to say next.

"This kind of thing can definitely not be tolerated anymore, there were no small actions before, but this time even the queen of the Duchy of Evel was involved, if it continues like this, I am afraid that next time it will be possible...... No, this time there are already aristocratic girls who have been involved in it, and someone must be sent to deal with it quickly. ”

Although he knew that it would be difficult to completely solve this matter, and it would not happen overnight, if he didn't do it, it would only increase the affected area as those people became more and more rampant, and when it was really out of control, the empire would come to an end. What does a country without a populace look like? Just look at the bulldozed countries in the east, pitiful, helpless, and even survival has become an extremely luxurious thing.

"It's time to deal with it, but I'm still worried about my father's side, I heard that he hasn't been seen in a while." Angelo sighed, and as time passed, he really couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for that person. Hate? Maybe a little bit...... But if he really wants to say it, he feels that this is a bit empty, after all, whether it was in the past or now, Angelo has never been seriously harmed, and if he hated that person, he would not stay in the royal capital city so peacefully now, and it is not impossible to become a villain or something.

"Your Majesty should have something important to do."

"He? Maybe......" Angelo hooked his lips and smiled, and was silent for a moment before continuing, "Second brother, you can handle the matter according to the people on the list, remember that it is best to be able to act as an accident, if it doesn't work, I will also plant it on those mountain bandits or other countries, well, I think the Syalanna Islands are a suitable target." ”

The voice was ruthless without emotion, but Angelo slowly stood up and walked to the bedside, just looking at the scenery outside the window and muttering: "It's time for the interior of the empire to clean up, and if it goes on like this, ...... continue."

……

The warm winter sun hung high in the sky, although there was not much temperature, but because of the hurry of the trip, both of them were sweating when they arrived at the border of Duverton Forest.

"What did I say was in such a hurry?" Because she is away all the year round, Dalena's physical strength is naturally speechless, but even after following someone all the way, a thin layer of sweat oozes from both her forehead and her back.

"If you don't run so fast, you don't even know how you died." Xiao Yueluo glanced at the person in front of her lightly, although her current physical strength is not very strong, but because she has her own set of ways to save physical strength, she is not too tired, at least she can do it if she runs back like this. Why don't you want to survive in the forest? Funny, right? It's lucky not to be eaten alive by those hungry mutant beasts.

"Someone stalking us?" Because of someone's reminder, although it was not very obvious, Dalena also reacted instantly, and at the same time looked around vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I found them as soon as I left the city gate before, and they were thrown off not long after." Without paying too much attention to Dalena's performance, Xiao Yueluo turned around and walked towards the forest, time was running out now, and before that, she had to see how the trap was placed before she left last time, and if there was a harvest, she could eat more.

"I see...... Dalena breathed a sigh of relief, but within two seconds of catching up, she suddenly reacted, "That's not right, what are you doing running so fast since you've already thrown it off?" ”

For someone's questioning, Xiao Yueluo just glanced at the other party coldly and didn't answer, and Dalena subconsciously shrunk her neck after seeing the girl's eyes, okay, now the one in front of her is the big guy, the kind that can't be offended, she can't bear it.

In short, the short episode before passed like this, and then in the period before dark, the two of them went to the trap set by Xiao Yueluo before, and they always harvested a fox and two rabbits, well, the mutated kind. Because considering Dalena's appetite, Xiao Yueluo only left one of the rabbits for her, as for the remaining two...... Naturally, it all went into Xiao Yueluo's stomach.

"You, you, you...... You've eaten it all!? Dalena's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Didn't you just see them all?"

Xiao Yueluo glanced at the girl beside her lightly, only to feel that the other party was making a little fuss, after all, what she has eaten now is not enough to fill her stomach, and she is said to be a little fuller.

"But ......" but I can't believe it because I saw it, okay, if it were herself, let alone the fox, she wouldn't be able to eat the chicken in her hand. Of course, Dalena didn't say these words, in fact, at the beginning, when she was helping to grill the meat, she was still wondering why she was roasting so much, and asked what to do if she couldn't finish eating? Now think about it...... It's really a bit silly......

"Okay, it's not too early, let's find a place to sleep first."

"Sleep?" Originally, after hearing the girl's words, Dalena was still a little confused, but after looking around for a few seconds, she suddenly burst out, "Here!?" ”

Dalena once again showed a look of disbelief, not that she was making a fuss, although she had experience sleeping in the wilderness, but anyway, there were tents, okay, now ...... Just sleep on the grass?

As if she didn't see the twitching corners of Dalena's mouth, Xiao Yueluo looked around looking for a suitable perch, and slept directly on the ground, she was not stupid enough to do such a thing, after all, they were only two of them now, and they had to move during the day, so it was naturally impossible for anyone to keep vigil at night, if they really slept on the ground, it was estimated that they would be eaten by mutant beasts without knowing.

"Don't forget to spray insect repellent on your body at night, everything you bought before is in your bag." Xiao Yueluo said as she paced to a big tree, and after looking up and down for a while, she nodded in satisfaction, and then climbed up with three times and five divided by two.

"You ......" Dalena, who had just held the package in her hand, was shocked again, and she didn't even know when the thing in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.

"Rest early, wake up early tomorrow morning, and we'll go deeper." She didn't care what Dalena wanted, after all, she didn't believe that this rumored little princess couldn't even do these little things.

Xiao Yueluo really guessed correctly, although Dalena is not too good at climbing trees, but if she really wants to do it, she can still do it, although it takes some effort. It's just that now after she has experienced today, it is impossible to say that she was not scared, but it was because of some face problems, so it didn't show up, of course, it can't be denied that psychological calmness is also one of the reasons.

"Isn't there a time when she's scared?" Dalena sat by the fire and looked at the dark shadow in the trees not far away, and the cold wind of the night blew away a lot of the heat, both physical and psychological...... Maybe she should have made up her mind...... But how is she going to do it?
