Natsu didn't go out immediately, but put Bella down against the wall at the door and waited there.

About ten minutes later, Bella woke up.

"Why do I feel so sleepy...... It's like I haven't slept in days. ”

Her expression was tired, her face was flushed, and there was a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Ah......h

She tried to stand up from the wall, but she felt that her body was a little weak, and she didn't succeed in holding on a few times, so she had to continue leaning there.

"Stephanie, what kind of medicine is that? Didn't you say that it would only create realistic hallucinations, and now she looks like she has just finished a marathon. ”

Xia asked in his mind.

"Master, what is the marathon......"

"It's like just running a long-distance run, running dozens of kilometers in one go, and you will feel very tired physically and mentally." Xia made an analogy.

"That medicine is an alchemical potion infused with magic dust, which can make people mistakenly think that they have done what they want to do the most, depending on the amount used; If she only licked a little, it should have been just a moment of fatigue, and she would recover soon. ”

Stephanie flew around Bella and replied by looking at her face.

“…… What do you want to do most? ”

Xia shivered as she looked at Bella's misty eyes.

"Your Majesty...... You were so cruel that I almost couldn't take it anymore. ”

Bella crawled from the ground to her feet, kissed her shoes gently, raised her head and said:

"Please let me rest and then get back on?"

As she spoke, she whispered outside the door:

"Sabrina, Sabrina!"

"You're looking for me? Master. ”

The voice of a red-haired maid sounded outside the door.

Her voice was a little rougher than that of the average woman, but she could hear a sigh of relief.

"Bring me those props."

Bella gasped and said:

"Ask for ...... in a platinum chest"

There was silence outside the door.

"Master, you brought your box, will you send it in now?"

One minute later, voices rang out the door again.

Bella turned her head to look at Natsu, as if asking for her opinion.

Xia nodded stiffly.

"Send it in."

Bella said as she lay on the ground, the few blows that seemed to have exhausted her strength.

"Click."

The red-haired maid opened the door, put the box on the ground, took a look at Bella's state, and retreated with peace of mind.

How does Bella look like she has just finished now, as for why she is lying on the ground, she has already seen so many tricks of this master, so it is not surprising at all.

"She's always worried about me...... Hehe. ”

Bella opened the box, took out a thorny whip and a serrated metal clip from it, climbed under Natsu, and pleaded:

"Next time I want to use these two ......"

"If you look a little better, I'll consider it."

Xia got goosebumps all over his body.

Fortunately, it is automatic mode, otherwise it would have to be exposed; This guy's taste is really heavy, isn't he afraid of getting hurt.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"Thank you, Queen."

Bella lowered her head and kissed her shoes again, the same deferential attitude as before.

"I ask you, do you have a way to get out of the north gate of the fortress?"

Seeing that she became so obedient, Xia finally got to the point:

"For that unobtrusive way out of town, it's better to think of a decent excuse."

"You're going north?"

Bella looked up hard and said:

"I'm afraid it's very difficult at this time, Kevin's old guy doesn't give anyone face, even if I use my father's name to press him, he will use all kinds of excuses to shirk; And his prestige in the army is very high, and I don't dare to ...... too much."

"Since you can't even do such a trivial thing, what use do I want from you?"

Xia looked at her from above, suddenly stepped on her fingers, and gently crushed them with the soles of his shoes:

"Waste ......"

The automatic mode is a good control of the kind of strength that makes people feel frightened without being harmed by the strict, and Bella has a look of pain and enjoyment on her face:

"I'm sorry, I'm a useless dog...... Please let me, lowly bitch, think of other ideas......"

Xia withdrew his legs, stood there and said:

"What kind of person is Kevin and what is his character? What are the weaknesses and preferences? Tell me everything you know. ”

Bella's hand that was trampled on was stuck to the ground and did not dare to move, and she gasped slightly and said:

"He was a stubborn old man, and he never had any bad habits; He usually treats his subordinates very harshly, but the soldiers respect him very much...... Kevin's wife died a long time ago, and he has not found a new one until now, and he has no children or daughters at present, and he is a quasi-sword saint-level powerhouse, so he can't find an obvious weakness. ”

"I heard that he was a hero of the Southern War?"

Xia was somewhat curious about the deeds of the old general.

Bella nodded, and said in a weak tone:

"He is a fierce general who can fight well, and he is very intelligent, and he has set many classic battles of winning more with less. At that time there were two strong rebel forces in the south, one of which was the Wolf Tooth Army, which was said to have the support of the Order behind it; The other has close ties with the kingdom of Punzan in the southwestern part of the border, and ten years ago, the kingdom sent a counterinsurgency force led by Prince Sako ......"

"Wait!"

Natsu interrupted her suddenly, only to feel her heart pound.

Prince Sacco?

- Isn't that her cheap grandfather?

"You mean, this General Kevin is Prince Sacco's old ministry?"

"Yes."

Bella's strength seemed to be gradually recovering, and she spoke much faster:

"Not only a former subordinate, but also a confidant-level favorite general, there are four well-known generals under the prince's command, Kevin ranks second, but his force is the weakest of the four, this ranking is related to his extraordinary strategy."

"Go on."

Natsu had a pensive expression.

"The cause of the rebellion was the discovery of a huge magic crystal mine in the southern region, which was originally a good thing, but who knew that the magic crystal ore vein extended to the territory of the Pengzan Kingdom, and in order to fight for the ownership of the magic crystal mine, the two countries fought a local war, and our country was defeated; Later, Westminster promised to hand over half of the Shard to the Harlem Empire, and the Bonzan Kingdom withdrew its army after receiving a warning from the Empire. ”

Bella, the daughter of a marquis, knows a lot about the war of ten years ago:

"But this matter is not over, just a month after the end of the war, suddenly a rebel party called the Wolf Tooth Army marched south and burned the kingdom town of Lobito; The leader of the Wolf Tooth Army was a man named Abercien, who united with another rebel party to occupy the magic crystal vein, and finally the kingdom had to send troops to fight, and it took Prince Saco half a year to quell the rebellion, but on the way back to the royal capital, he contracted a strange disease and died on the way. ”

It turned out that Prince Sako died ten years ago.

After listening to her words, Xia finally knew how his cheap grandfather died.

"Actually died of illness?"

She felt a little unbelievable:

Kevin is already a quasi-sword master as a subordinate, and he is the weakest of the four generals; Even if you don't have to be strong as a marshal, you can't be much worse than your subordinates, what is it that makes such a strong man die in a short time?

"Forget it, it looks like now isn't the time to think about that."

She shook her head, shook away these doubts, and said to Bella:

"You go and write a letter now, just say that you know the whereabouts of the princess who disappeared a year ago, and then call General Kevin here, you don't have to worry about the rest, I will arrange it myself."

She stopped Bella, who looked surprised, from speaking, and said in a cold voice:

"I didn't ask you to give your opinion, just do what I say, you know?"

Hearing her words, Bella closed her mouth and meekly lowered her head.

"Go ahead."

Natsu kicked her out.

"Master, are you trying to reveal your identity to that General Kevin? Wouldn't that be too early? ”

Stephanie leaned over to Natsu's side and asked, she couldn't be coquettish to her master in her current state, she was close and afraid of being beaten, so she kept her distance.

"It depends, after all, I don't know if this person's character is consistent with the rumors, in case he is a guy who is different from the outside, I can't beat the fifth change of career, so it's up to you to do this."

"Do you want to play the Grim Reaper again, master?"

"It's enough to pretend to be a grim reaper, pretend to be a magician......"

"Master, this time I want to pretend to be a thief."

"Then go find a cloak, don't let him see your face, and you will be invisible immediately when the other party moves......"

The two discussed the details, Xia stretched and walked towards the room inside:

"You will be guarding the door for a while, Bella just saw you on the street, I know that you are my person, I will go to the bedroom to rest for a while, and call me again if there is something important."

She hadn't rested since she was on the road, and she was really tired.

"Aristocracy is a luxury, and this bed is more elastic than Evelyn's original one."

She sat on the mattress and bounced a few times, then fell back in satisfaction and closed her eyes.

"Whew...... What time is it. ”

Xia slept and sat up from the bed, and found that it was already dark outside.

"Stephanie, what's going on with Bella?"

She walked out of the bedroom door and asked in her mind.

"Master, Bella is very efficient, General Kevin will be here after dinner, do you want to eat?" I told them to prepare. ”

"Look, don't let them put strange things in."

Xia instructed.

She was about to walk down the hall when she heard a strange noise coming from a room.

"Something."

Vigilantly, she swooped and came to the outside of the room.

He listened with his ear to the door for a moment, then carefully unscrewed the lock on the door, and walked in to see a chair in the middle of the room.

"Hmm! Not! ”

On top of the chair was a pink-haired girl, with something plugged in her mouth and a face covered in tears, struggling to get out of the rope.

"This damn Bella actually forced girls to play bondage PLAY."

She sighed and went over to remove what was in the girl's mouth, and found that it was a pair of trousers.

"Wow!!"

As soon as she got the little pants out, the pink-haired girl burst into tears.

Then he shook his body vigorously and cried:

"Quick, help me untie the rope!"

"Huh!"

Natsu drew her sword and cut the rope, and the girl suddenly stood up from her chair.

After standing up, she seemed to remember something and stayed on the spot.

"Key...... The keys are not with me......"

A few words popped out of her mouth with a flushed face.

"Keys?"

Xia didn't understand what she was talking about, and thought she was scared, so she walked over and touched her hair, comforting:

"I remember your name was Shirley, right? We've seen it outside, don't be afraid, I'll let Bella let you out. ”

As soon as her hand was placed on top of the girl's head, the girl's body suddenly trembled.

"Whoa......

Then there was a sound of water in the room. R1152
