Volume 1: Pride Chapter 2: Departure
"Bell! Clang! "Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
The sound of metal clashing is constantly sounding, and the figures of people who are constantly fighting on the shore of the artificial lake, and the people passing by more or less lower their steps or stop to watch.
"Isn't that the Navis butler? Why did you fight with Miss Xiao Yueluo? ”
"I don't know, I'm just here."
"I've seen Miss Xiaoyueluo practice swords before, but did she use a spear this time?"
"I'm more curious than this, it turns out that Lord Navis used to know martial arts, and he obviously looks very gentle."
"Hey, gentleness and swords have nothing to do with each other, anyway, I think such a man is the most attractive."
"Speaking of charm, isn't Your Highness also very good?"
"Your Highness? Forget it, we're just servants, or Lord Navis is more suitable, at least think about it. ”
One after another exclamations came and went, compared to the reason why the two fought, many people were more curious about the fact that Navis knew how to sword. You must know that Navis has always been smiling in front of people, almost everyone (unmistakable) thinks he is very kind, and this is also the most depressed part of Ronald, obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he is often said to be good-tempered, and he is clearly distinguished.
"Who, those people are talking about you?" The spear in her hand kept dancing, and Xiao Yueluo looked at Navis with some amusement while listening to the whispers of discussion around her.
"So what? I am handsome, handsome, and so gentle, it is normal for people to be infatuated with me. ”
"Cut, pretend."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Yueluo suddenly jump back and stop moving, Venus was slightly stunned, and when he saw that someone had no intention of fighting again, he withdrew the sword from the scabbard with a backhand.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little bored...... Take care of yourself. ”
“…… How do you make you the same as the host and me, eh...... It doesn't seem right......" Looking at someone walking towards the pavilion, Navis immediately reacted and chased after Xiao Yueluo, and put the long sword back when he passed the weapon rack, "Wait, didn't you say to answer my question after the fight?" ”
Due to the departure of the two, the onlookers were also counted after that, along with the new impression that Venus left on everyone.
"When did I say that?" In the pavilion, Xiao Yueluo sat on a stone bench with a teacup in her hand, and behind her was a spear that had just been used.
"Just now, before I started, I was ...... Wait a minute! You're kidding me! ”
"Don't just wronged people, Lord Steward, after all, I only told you the answer from beginning to end, but I didn't say that I would answer your question."
"And what's your answer?" Compared to Xiao Yueluo's old god, Navis can be said to be gritting his teeth, he swears that the woman in front of him is definitely his nemesis, there is no one, and the degree of hatred is almost the same level as Ronald's guy.
"Answer......" After taking a sip of black tea, Xiao Yueluo spoke again, "Of course the answer is that there is no answer!" ”
"You ......" Now, if he didn't know that he was tricked by the person in front of him, then he would have lived in vain for so many years.
"That's angry?" Xiao Yueluo hooked her lips, with obvious provocation in her tone, "If you are not satisfied with my answer, you can also ask Your Highness to drive me away, anyway, I don't mind." ”
The corners of ......'s mouth twitched again, Navis couldn't remember how many times it was, he estimated that this morning was probably more than in the previous months combined, "Let's get down to business." ”
"Business? If it's for me to join you, forget it. Xiao Yueluo waved her hand, looking soft and hard, "As far as those things in your empire are hidden, it doesn't mean that no one knows about them." Not to mention ......"
"What?" The abrupt end of the words made Navis a little confused, although he was curious about how much Xiao Yueluo knew, but more of a puzzle about the unfinished words, his intuition told him that the girl in front of him definitely kept some secrets.
"Nothing." Xiao Yueluo shook her head and looked into the distance, "But when can I leave?" ”
"Leave? Do what? Is it back to the Principality? ”
"Shall I say that I am worthy of the master and servant, why do you all have the same concerns?" At this moment, Xiao Yueluo looked a little speechless, but then a sadness was revealed around her, "Yes, back to the principality, no matter what the result is, it is always the place where I grew up." At the very least, I should have seen the people on the other side of the Sauron Plains, ......"
"Really? Since that's the case, let's go, but it's better to be prepared before then......"
……
"Can't you even go?" The carriage was fading away from the field of vision, and Ronald asked with a frown as he stood on the city gate.
"She seems to have something she wants to do, maybe a little bit differently than we think." When Navis said this, his face was a little strange, for him, who has always been a figure out people's hearts, this girl who has not known him for a long time can be said to be the second person he can't see.
She ...... Very interesting. After a brief hesitation, Ronald expressed his opinion, "Actually, if it wasn't for the archbishop asking me to let her go, I wouldn't have done this anyway." ”
"Archbishop......
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little surprised that the archbishop would be interested in a young girl."
"It's normal for people to do anything after a long time, especially if they ...... Forget it, none of this is something we should care about, after all, that person doesn't leave us much time. The face of a young man came to mind, and Ronald shook his head. He would never dabble in something he shouldn't be in charge of, let alone something he couldn't control.
"By the way, how was the stuff you prepared last time?"
"It's all ready, but won't you send someone to follow Xiao Yueluo?"
"No need, I have a hunch that we will meet again soon, so ...... before that"
……
Three days later, a small town on the border of the Empire
Bustling and noisy, the place where the mercenaries gather for a long time is the tavern in the town, except for the mercenary union.
With long silver hair and a long aqua blue dress, Xiao Yueluo sat in a corner of the hall, and the temperament exuding from her body separated her from her surroundings.
"Is Miss alone? Why don't you come and play together? The ridiculous words and the frivolous tone made the girl who was immersed in her own world raise her head impressively, and the person who spoke immediately whistled after seeing Xiao Yueluo's face.
Xiao Yueluo, who was beside ......, didn't pay too much attention to the movement beside her, and after looking up, she put her eyes back on the thing in her hand.
"Hey, Miss, how can our eldest brother talk to you? That's not polite. ”
“……”
"This is your weapon? Can such a giant sword lady wield? I guess it will take a lot of effort to pick it up! Hahaha......"
The laughter of several people immediately attracted the attention of the others in the tavern, but after seeing the faces of several people, especially the warning eyes of one of them, they all chose to fall silent. Of course, it can't be said that everyone is like this, but those who want to come out are stopped by the people around them, after all, in the world of mercenaries, strength is everything, and without the corresponding strength, it is looking for death, and it may also bring trouble to people who know each other.
"Are you finished?"
