44 Take me home

Daisy? Richardson met a very interesting little girl.

A nobleman from a warped family.

This self-proclaimed Lavier? Dee Dee's maiden was wearing a maid's dress that didn't fit well and was sitting across from Daisy drinking tea. Her hair was blonde with a hint of red at the ends, and there was a hazy beauty in the dim glow of the pyroxene. She has green eyes, fair skin, and slender fingers, and she doesn't look like she's done any work. Daisy could see her identity, this girl who even drank the hotel's black leaf tea had to take out the posture of drinking snow bud tea, no matter how she looked like a maid.

"Little sister, it's not a good habit to be in the family."

Since handing herself over to Gastens, Daisy has found that she has grown to like Gastens' style of doing things, being straightforward and never procrastinating when needed.

"Poof-cough-cough-cough-"

Raviel? Dee Dee squirted out the tea she was drinking with a pop, and Daisy was prepared, covering her face with a handkerchief.

"You...... How do you know? No, no, I'mβ€”I didn't have a homeβ€”"

Raviel? Didi blushed and explained, waving his hand repeatedly. Her movements and expressions are unmistakably telling Daisy that she is indeed a girl from a family.

"It's not as safe outside as you think, I see that you are also the child of a noble lord when you are dressed, don't hurt yourself because of a moment of anger. Listen to my sister and hurry home, huh? ”

"What!" , Raviel? Dee Dee seemed to be stabbed by Daisy's words, "I don't want to go home!" How do you know that the outside world is bad? If the outside world is not good, why would you hide your identity and open a room in a hotel? ”

Hear Raviel? Didi's rebuttal, Daisy seemed to see the self who was angry with her father at the beginning. She stood up and walked over to Lavielle, reaching out to rub her soft face, despite her objections. Raviel? Dee Dee obviously didn't realize that Daisy dared to be so bold, and she tried to resist, but her face was distorted by Daisy's rubbing, and she could only make a muffled sound.

"Good...... Not...... Takete ...... Don't-"

Raviel? Dee Dee soon discovers that Daisy's violent attacks are powerless in her verbal counterattack. She gave up her futile verbal resistance and went to tickle Daisy instead. This move successfully defeated Daisy's attack, and the two girls soon laughed together.

"I don't want to go back, I want to travel the world and see the scenery of other countries."

After calming down, Raviel? Dee Dee felt that she was getting closer to Daisy. She took Daisy's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, humbly asking for advice.

"But my father may mobilize a lot of people to look for me, and if he catches me, I will be miserable! I want to go to the station to buy a ticket, but I'm worried about my father's eyeliner there, Sister Daisy, can you tell me what to do? ”

"You know, I'm at home too", Daisy didn't answer Lavile directly? Didi's question, instead, talked about her own experience, "At that time, I was angry with my father, I ran away from home alone, and stayed in a hotel in Shangcheng for three days, and I had a good three days, the service of the hotel was very good, I had everything to eat, and the environment was also very good. But three days later, I ran out of money and had to look for a tavern in East, but on the way to East, my wallet was snatched, and if it weren't for the policemen passing by, I might have been taken along with them. I heard my father say that when those people arrested a little girl like me, they would feed them mute medicine and send them to other cities to be **, which was very miserable. ”

Daisy wasn't exactly telling the truth, in fact she was found by her father on the third day of her stay at the hotel. But she felt the need to sound the alarm for this little girl, who obviously had little life experience. Everyone in this world has only one life, and it is very fragile, and she doesn't want this girl to be harmed in any way.

"Huh? That's horrible......"

Lavielle apparently believed, and she grabbed Daisy's hand and asked questions, and Daisy answered her questions one by one. The two chatted for a long time and had lunch together before parting ways.

"I still have something to do here, if you have nowhere to go, go to Richardson's house, No. 9 Guixiang Road, look for me, understand?"

"Got it, don't worry, Sister Daisy, I'll be careful."

Raviel? Dee Dee politely bowed to Daisy and turned to leave. Daisy watched the girl close the door of her room, and realized that the etiquette she had just performed was one that only the top nobles could use.

This little girl has a lot of background.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Staying with the girl named Daisy makes Luna feel happy. But she still hasn't changed her mind. Her father and mother were not in Roseville and could not help. Her mentor Luke? Brewster is dead, and even if the Mage Tower is her home, it is a home that has lost its temperature, a home that has died.

Leaving the kind-hearted girl, Luna restrained the smile on her face. Although Daisy's story to her may be false, Luna knows that Daisy is right, that the world is not as safe as the Mage's Tower. She asked herself if she had missed any flaws along the way, and focused on how to buy a ticket.

If she wanted to go to the border, in what is now Rosville, if she didn't want to endure the bumps and toil of a long wagon trek, the best option was a steam locomotive. Although not as well as the Third and Negro Republics, which had their steam locomotives tracked in almost all major cities, Anken Rein's network of steam locomotives was able to meet Luna's requirements. She's going to the Republic of Negro to see the Genting Snow Mountain.

Still wearing the maid's suit, Luna leaves the Candid Hotel. The tavern on the first floor of the inn is not open during the day, and the owner Glenn, who is cleaning? Gillis says hello to Luna and ignores her. In the Easte district, you will encounter a variety of people in the tavern every day, and Gillis knows how a tavern survives here.

Be nosy.

It took Luna an hour to get to Roseville Center Station from the tavern, but as she was about to enter the station, she saw the Royal Police from a distance. They stood in groups at all visible entrances to the station, seemingly inadvertently looking at everyone entering and leaving the station.

It is not the job of the Royal Police to guard and maintain the security of the station, they are here for only one purpose, and that is themselves. Luna soon realizes that her escape has been discovered, and that the damned Emperor has begun to search for her.

There is no hope for a ride.

Do you have to endure the long bumps of the carriage? The carriage ride from Roseville to the border was at least ten days! What will happen on the way is not guaranteed by Luna at all!

Somewhat disappointed, Luna turned back to the tavern. Halfway to the end, she took off her beautiful shoes with small high heels, and stepped barefoot on the stone pavement of Roseville, which was somewhat pleasantly cool. The small blisters on the soles of the feet don't seem to hurt so much. She opened the door on the first floor of the Candid Hotel in the afternoon, only to find a tall man talking to Glenn? Gillis chatted. Seeing Luna come in, the two of them looked up in unison.

"Coming back?" Glenn? Gillis greeted with a smile.

"Hmm."

Luna didn't like the way the stranger looked at her, so she lowered her head, whispered, and walked upstairs. The two men on the first floor watched her go up the corner stairs before they began to continue their conversation.

"Gillis, it's her, you still say no? Don't you want to open a store anymore? ”

"It was so dark last night, and your description was so vague, how do I know if it's her? Want me not to open a store? You'd better ask Lawson, the Black Hand, if he agrees. ”

The person who came was obviously affected by the name of Lawson, the black hand, he paused and smiled reluctantly, "What rules?" ”

"It's all the same, don't make trouble in my store, nothing else matters."

"I thought it was you, but that's it, we know, ask Brother Lawson for Bridge on the wall."

The visitor put a 50 tini coin on the bar and turned to leave. Glenn? Gillis put the coin away and wiped his glass with his head down.

Countless things are happening in this city every day, how can he manage it as an honest man? It's a blessing to be able to find a clean shop for your own small shop. As for what happened to the eldest lady who seemed to be from the Qiao family, and what did it have to do with him?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Luna goes upstairs to Daisy's room to see if she's gone, but gets no response. She walked upstairs and sat in her room for a while, but she always felt uneasy. Now that the Emperor was aware of his departure, every minute he spent in Roseville was in danger. Thinking of this, Luna made up her mind. She took apart her bun, messed up her hair, rubbed some ash in the corner of the room and smeared it on her face, tore off the obvious ornaments and lace on her maid's dress, tore off everything she could, put her own small wallet full of money close to her, put the wallet that Meimei had given herself in her handbag, and went out of the room.

She's going to find a carriage and leave Roseville.

Glenn on the first floor? Gillis was still the same as when Luna entered, cleaning unhurriedly, and the man who looked at Luna and made her hair stand on end was gone. Luna greets Gillis and receives a listless response. She turned around and left the Candid Inn.

There are two ways to find a carriage that can go to the border. One is to go to Roseville Horse Station on the border between East and Downtown, where there are plenty of horse-drawn carriages that specialize in long-distance running and are relatively safe. The second is to go to the trading post outside the city, where there are convoys to and from major cities, and you can get a ride for a small fee, but the road may not be safe. Luna hesitates for a moment and decides to try her luck at the station first.

She moved in small steps, and the blisters on the soles of her feet hurt her heart. But for the sake of her ideals of freedom, Luna doesn't intend to back down from this small difficulty. But just as she passed through the mouth of an alley, someone grabbed her head from behind and pushed her into the alley.

Luna began to scream.

But the men were clearly prepared, and someone had gagged her with something, so hard that Luna could barely breathe. More hands began to touch her body. Luna struggles desperately, only to find that her strength is useless in front of these smelly people. Soon, the purse she was holding in her hand was snatched away, and immediately after, someone pulled off the magic bracelet on her wrist. In a blur, she heard a voice.

"It's not this, search again."

So the hands began to dig into her clothes and touch her body. Luna struggled harder, but soon, she felt something around her neck, and even with no experience in it, Luna could guess that it was a dagger.

The men didn't speak, they groped around with her, not letting go of anything. Someone was rubbing her breasts, someone was touching her lower body, more people were rummaging through all the places on her body where they could hide things, and soon, the purse she kept close to her was touched. Then, as if in an instant, the hand that was touching her wildly, the hand that gagged her mouth, the hand that put the dagger on her neck, all disappeared.

Luna waits a few seconds and finds herself free. She took off the hood from her head and saw that it was a sack that smelled fishy. She covered her chest with her torn clothes and sat on the ground, a little stunned.

Someone walked into the alley, and he glanced at Luna on the ground, quickened his pace, and walked past her with his head down.

Luna gasped for a moment and stood up. She found herself shaking, trembling irrepressibly. Big tears ran down her cheeks, and she bit her lip, only to find that her lips had broken and salty. She found her shoes on the ground, put them on, and looked down the alley behind her.

The alley was not long, flanked by the walls of buildings facing the street, high and cold, and in the distance was a bend where Luna could not see what was behind it. She stayed where she was for two seconds, feeling her neck wet. She reached out and touched the blood.

Luna staggered out of the alley and returned the way she came, passing by the door of the Candid Hotel, but not stopping. The passers-by on the road looked at her with strange eyes and hurried past her. Luna ignored the men, and she just moved forward in silence, forward.

As she had come, she passed through block after block to the junction of the Uptown and Easter districts. Two Royal Police officers were standing at the corner of the street, holding a portrait and whispering. Luna walked up to them and glanced at the portrait.

That's herself, and the painting is pretty good.

"What is the matter with you, lady?" The two policemen saw Luna and asked softly.

Luna straightened up, looked up, and ruffled her hair. She bared her face and looked up at the two policemen.

"I'm Luna? Brewster, take me home. ”
