The rumbling gate valve continued to rise, and finally with a crisp bang, Samuel's steel gate was completely opened.

Under the dim vision of dawn, a group of Hundred Flower Knights in gorgeous armor poured out in an endless stream, led by Gross, like a long snake, rushing towards the direction of the bay.

"My father left in too much of a hurry this time. On the city wall, watching the "long snake" depart quickly, Margaret frowned in thought.

Dressed in a pale yellow dress, with her blond-brown hair coiled at the back of her head to form a beautiful bun, Margaret did not wear a forehead ornament today, her smooth forehead was as white as snow, and a black ribbon was tied around her neck, which looked noble and elegant.

Alan stood beside her, squinting at the knights as they walked farther and farther away, and said, "Maybe I don't want to delay any longer." ”

Margaret nodded silently, then sighed.

"I wish him all the best. She muttered, and finally withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Allen: "Uncles don't believe that the place you said can find a solution, it's just that my father is bent on going his own way, and they can't object, you..."

Under Allen's gaze, Margaret hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Can you be sure that you used to have that kind of spot on your body?"

"Of course. Alan raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who talks about it?"

Shaking her head, Margaret fell silent, as if worried about something.

Alan was a little curious about this, because he felt that both Margaret and Catherine were obviously worried about Gross's departure.

Are you worried about the safety of the fat duke?

Alan felt that it should not be like this, after all, as one of the top apocalypse of the stars, Gross's security problem could not be a problem at all, and Alan didn't think that there was anyone else in the south of the stars who could threaten him, except for the group of orcs.

But the orcs in the south have already taken a heavy hit, and in the last time, Eren experienced it himself, so it is unlikely that the orcs will have the strength to trouble Gross again.

Could it be that you are worried about the city of Samuel? What are the hidden dangers of Samuel?

Alan vaguely guessed, but because he had only been here for a short time and didn't know anything, his guess would not be fruitful.

"I heard you bought a property on Ruhr Street?" Margaret, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Alan was stunned, and then said calmly: "Yes, No. 33 Ruhr Street, a small three-story building. ”

"If the castle isn't comfortable, you can tell me," Margaret bit her lip.

She seems to have misunderstood something, thinking that Alan wanted to move out?

Shaking his head, Alan didn't plan to play tricks, he said honestly: "I didn't buy a house to move out, I plan to open a newspaper." ”

"Newspaper?" Margaret was obviously not as ignorant of this as the others, and she asked curiously, "like you did at the reef?"

"You even know that?"

"Every year my father will show me your information. Margaret blinked, "So I know you better than you think." ”

Her eyes were the kind of dark blue, looking pure and deep, blinking like the sea that shimmered in the sun, and Alan was a little electrocuted by her, so she turned her head and coughed dryly.

"Maybe it's different, after all, Samuel is Samuel and the reef is the reef. ”

"Yes, Samuel is Samuel, and the reef is the reef," Margaret looked down thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

**

The nearly month after the Coming of God was quiet and turbulent.

Peacefully, nothing significant happened during the month, at least for the populace.

The hidden turmoil is because of Gross's departure, and Samuel gradually appeared in some abnormal situations.

First of all, the recent fluctuations in the city's defense are relatively large, although Alan doesn't pay much attention to it, but when he occasionally walks through the city, many pedestrians talk about it, and Alan can't think about it.

Secondly, after Gross left, the mother and daughter of Pearl Castle were obviously worried, and from the contact at meal time, they were obviously worried about something, and they rarely even went out during this time.

Finally, as the root of all cholera, the gangsters in the city have been noticeably more arrogant lately, and in the past, Samuel rarely saw the gangsters appear during the day, but now when he walks out into the street, he can see a group of idle people wandering around, harassing the citizens of Samuel from time to time.

However, they can only harass and harass the citizens, and Zeqiu, who has a slight status in Samuel, is not guilty.

Alan didn't feel much about this, every time he went out, he would be protected by the guards assigned by the Pearl Castle, and ordinary gangsters would not come to provoke him at all, and naturally there was no time for him to show his talents.

At the same time, he didn't see the bullying of men and women, which is normal, because in the stars, only the nobles can do it if they have the ability to bully men and women, and ordinary gangsters don't have that condition.

Although Samuel's folk style is a little softer, it is only a little bit.

The whole group of stars can't find a city with cowardly customs, and due to environmental factors, the stars men are usually physically strong, and they can't be bullied casually.

Even many women belong to the ranks of the five big and three thick, and some are even stronger than men.

At the same time, because of the rule of knights, there is no lack of "helpful" style in the fierce folk customs, so unless in those remote and uninhabited corners, in front of the public, the gangsters still dare not do anything out of the ordinary.

Alan is a little sorry for this, because the hero saving the beauty has always been the plot of his fantasy, and it must be very rewarding to actually appear, but he is too lazy to go to those remote and uninhabited places to "try his luck", and he may not be able to find it, he is not so idle.

**

A month passed in a flash, nothing special happened, and there was no sign of what he was worried about, as if the world was peaceful.

However, Alan always had a feeling that a storm was coming.

"See you tomorrow!" Before dinner, Alan hurried back to Pearl Castle before the day of the duel, and after a dinner with Catherine's mother and daughter, he also hurried upstairs.

"He seems to be in a hurry?" Because of the special fireplace, the castle was warm as spring, and the dry and comfortable environment made people feel very comfortable, so Catherine and the others did not rush back to their room after dinner, and just sat in the empty hall and chatted.

"I guess I've run into some questions about mages. ”

Margaret replied to her mother, and did not look up, just lowered her head and looked carefully at the embroidery in her hand.

She embroidered a flaming shield, which was already taking shape, and Catherine could tell that it was the crest of the Chrissy family.

"You're really... Like him so much?" Catherine asked hesitantly.

Daughters are every mother's treasure, Catherine naturally wants her daughter to be happy in the future, obviously Margaret is now quite a good wife and mother, but-

But isn't that a little too fast?

"It's okay. Bowing her head to embroidery, Margaret said, "He's funny, at least, I don't hate him." ”

"So you're ready to marry now?" you've already started to embroider your wedding..... "Catherine looked stunned, "you're not yet engaged." ”

"Aren't these already predestined?" Margaret looked up at Catherine strangely: "Wedding embroidery is done sooner or later, and I don't need to practice dancing now, and I'm idle." ”

"But..."

Catherine stopped talking, and finally smiled: "Okay, if you like it." ”

"I really don't understand you," Seeing her like this, Margaret shook her head helplessly: "Father looks mysterious all day long, and doesn't tell anyone about anything, and now mother, you don't tell the truth."

“......”

"You'd better try to get to know him better, and if you want, I think we'll support your own decision. Under Margaret's unintentional stimulation, Catherine finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "I always feel that he is not so simple, don't say anything else, just ran up in such a hurry, obviously hiding some secrets." ”

"Can you fully understand your father?"

When asked about this question, Catherine was stunned, and then smiled implicitly: "Of course, I can know what he is thinking with a single look." ”

"I don't think it's good to be in control too much. Margaret didn't say this, because she felt that if she did, Catherine would probably have to preach again.

It's just that without saying a word, Margaret also unconsciously thought about what her mother said, and while looking down to embroider, she was secretly curious.

"Could it be that the day of the duel is approaching, and you are starting to get nervous?"
