Chapter 563: The Princess's Curiosity
There were no impermeable walls in the world, let alone a small circle like a camp, and the next morning, the news that Downton had rejected the offer of the son of a duke of real power spread to everyone's ears.
The nobles who were already hostile to Downton were even happier, wishing that he had offended all the nobles and would not be able to move an inch in politics in the future, and those nobles who were still a little interested in Downton also put away their thoughts, they didn't want to touch the ashes, after all, it was a very embarrassing thing.
"That Downton has a lot of ambitions. β
Everyone knows that although the duke's son's request is a bit unreasonable, it represents the face of Prince Inzaghi, and the result is so slashed, which can only show that Downton's target is Princess Sissi, because in addition to her, even the Hohenzollern family of Schurrle is lower than Inzaghi.
"There is no need to guess, he must have wanted to capture Sissi's heart, and then he could become a prince, take charge of Bavaria, and then control half of Lombardy. β
Because of the king's doting, Sissi was too simple, and the nobles present felt that after getting married, they could play with her in the palm of their hands, so although the Bavarian rose was in power on the surface, behind the scenes, her husband had absolute power.
"But that Downton's strength is very strong, and he is also very handsome, if I have this condition, I will have to fight. β
The nobles just sighed, and then rekindled their confidence, which one who dared to come to the dark region to venture was not the family elite, and they would definitely not be discouraged because of a small setback.
"Is there any movement from that young man?"
At dinner in the morning, Sissi, who has never been interested in men, suddenly asked.
"Washing, morning exercise, cooking, Downton has a very regular routine!" Rena laid out the pastries, "I can't rule out pretending to arouse your favor." β
"Well, what about the werewolf girl and Twilight?"
Juliet is beautiful, but her strength is too poor. There is no accident about this kind of woman, she can only become a vase in the end, and Sissi is more concerned about Xia Luo, and that powerful mess Twilight.
"Charlotte is sleeping, and Twilight is up earlier than Downton. β
"Lazy?"
Sissi was stunned, in her opinion. This girl definitely hides her strength, she should actually be very powerful, then she should be very hard.
"Yes!" Rena also wondered, "This kind of character is destined to become the big man of the orcs, do you want to kill it?"
"Forget it, maybe there will be a possibility of cooperation in the future, and keeping her can also block those princes of the orcs. β
Sissi vetoed, "About Twilight." What do you think?"
"It's very good, and there's a good chance I'm not her opponent. Rena thought carefully for a few minutes before cautiously reporting an answer.
"So terrifying?" Sissi took a bite of the bread and forgot to chew it, "You're a dragon slayer, your father said you would have a chance to be promoted to the Scepter rank within five years, and you don't think you're as good as that Twilight?
"It's because I can't see through her rank that I think she's very powerful. You know, there aren't many people who can hide the details under my eyes. β
Rena's face was flat. There was no secret joy because of Sissi's father's compliment.
"It's incredible, she's not an elf, is she? she's actually over three hundred years old, she just looks young. β
Sissi tried to find a reason.
"No, she's human, and she's definitely not even twenty years old!" Rena sighed, "That's why I feel terrible." Her cultivation speed is really terrifying, if nothing else, before the age of thirty, she will become a legend, no. You can even reach the rank above that legend. β
"Won't it?"
Sissi glared at Rena in shock.
"I think it's important to do everything you can to win her over, at least to make her feel good and become an ally of Bavaria. β
Rena didn't say a kill, because it was absolutely impossible.
"I'll introduce her to my father, no, let him invite her personally. β
Although Sissi's strength is average, she is definitely not a stupid person, this kind of amazing and brilliant character is definitely only one in ten thousand years, and she must be caught in her hands.
Rena hesitated for a moment, but decided to hide Xia Luo's matter, in fact, the wolf girl was not bad, giving her a very mysterious aura.
"It's all Downton's fault!"
Rena thought in pieces, Sissi mentioned Downton in the morning, not because she was interested in him, after all, as a princess, she had seen too many young talents, and she asked specifically because of Charlotte and Twilight, a beautiful alien wolf girl, a young girl who was no less talented than the first star, they actually teamed up with a man, and it seemed that the relationship was not bad, and who would be curious if they changed.
"Princess, once a woman is curious about a man, she is not far from falling. β
Rena glanced at the princess who was absent-mindedly eating breakfast, and sighed deeply, in fact, Downton's team is very abnormal, not to mention the violent little Lori who is strong enough to overturn a giant dragon in brute force, is the maid that the princess can't look down on, and she is not an ordinary person, a girl of the first order of war actually dares to come to the underground, there is definitely something to rely on, and Rena also smelled a strong smell of medicine from her.
As for Suarez, who is greedy for money and likes to bite people, in front of these 'weirdos', he is no longer distinctive enough.
As the group set off, Juliet felt a distinct sense of alienation, except for the servants sent by Sissi to inform them of their departure, not to mention the nobles, even the guards did not speak to them, apparently receiving instructions.
"They wouldn't be trying to squeeze us out of the team with this kind of cold violence, would they?" Juliet reminded Downton in a worried tug on his arm.
"What do you think, do you want to leave?"
Downton didn't care, he had been a postman for a few years, and he had seen too many such scenes.
"Let's go first, go to the front team, and we don't have to look at the faces of these people. Twilight suggests, "Of course, if you decide to leave, I don't object to that." β
"Okay, I'll go and say. β
Downton nodded.
Watching Downton ride away on the Green Goblin, Juliet was puzzled, "Didn't we join this team just to get shelter? β
Sissi's subordinates are the best of the best, and not even a single mouse can be hidden in the places that these scouts have searched. So the enemy has no way to sneak attack at all, but can only attack from the front of the team.
"Think about it!"
Twilight didn't answer, and looked up at Downton's back, a young man with a good brain, who had already guessed his thoughts.
After the servant went to make the announcement, Downton did not wait a few minutes. I got a reply from Princess Sissi who allowed her to be seen.
"Thank you for letting us join the group temporarily, and as a token of appreciation, we decided to go to the front team and contribute to your team. β
Downton made up for the etiquette last night, although it is not standardized, but it will not be ugly.
"That's all?"
Sissi looked at Downton, wondering if he was playing a trick of wanting to get away with it, she had thought that the other party would definitely seize the opportunity to perform when she saw her. Unexpectedly, it was a painless proposal.
"Yes, that's it, we're already scared. β
Downton was neither humble nor silent, and his expression was calm.
"Well, I agree. β
After Sissi finished speaking, Downton bowed and retired.
"Did he do what he did for him?"
Rena asked.
Judging by the personalities shown by Downton and Twilight, they are very proud and normal to act in the face of the disregard of the nobles. β
Sissi replied.
"Wrong. It's just a faΓ§ade, and it's not a matter of going out. What is a little hostility? Adventurers value life. β
Rena shook her head.
"Unexpected!"
Sissi tugged at her shirt in frustration.
"With the strength of our team, even the regular army would not dare to attack, so the front team is also safe, and Downton did this, not only to avoid the embarrassing situation of being ignored by the nobles, but also to leave a good impression in your heart. β
Rena explained. "If he really wanted to help, he would be a scout. β
"So I'm being taken advantage of?" Sissi immediately pursed her lips.
"Yes!"
Rena had intended to make Sissi hate Downton, but she found that she seemed to have miscalculated, and although Sissi was outwardly resentful of him, she had a little admiration between her eyebrows.
As a maid who has served Sissi since childhood. Rena knew Sissi too well, and when she thought about it, the men she met were all cautious and fearful of angering her, and Downton was the first to take advantage of her.
Sissi's character refuses to admit defeat, so Downton's actions have aroused her competitive spirit, and she wants to fight him and regain face.
"Scorching Nightmares, Sherman War Bears, Void Rays, Pure-Blood Wolves, these people's mounts are truly rare. β
The royal guards in charge of the avant-garde looked at the mounts of Downton and his party, and their saliva of envy was about to flow to the ground, their own war horses did not dare to approach in front of these powerful monsters, and besides, these monsters could sell one at will, and they would not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.
"Look at that sick horse, what breed is it, and even a nightmare dares to bite?"
Speaking of cherishing, Twilight's sick horse is not on the list, but it is the most eye-catching, this guy seems to be dying, but the most arrogant, the nightmare just wants to pass from the side, and is intimidated by it baring its teeth and threatening to bite.
"You're too embarrassed, aren't you?"
Seeing the Green Goblin detour, Downton covered his face.
"There's definitely something wrong with that sick horse. The Green Goblin cried, probably thinking that this excuse would not work, and quickly changed his words, "No, I'm actually afraid of Twilight." β
Downton didn't want to listen to this guy's poor mouth, and was just about to stop it, when a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and the whole team immediately stopped, and the guards all went into a state of alert.
"Quick, support!"
The captain of the guard roared, whipped his horse fiercely, and rushed out in the direction of the whistle.
"Oh yes, there's a good show. β
The Green Goblin was so idle that his eggs hurt, and he spread his hooves and ran all the way, this guy likes to play pranks, deliberately blowing dust everywhere, making the guards behind him choke and cough.
"My Dibolo, this native is crazy, why don't you run away when you hit someone?"
The Green Goblin rushed to the site of the conflict as fast as he could, and saw that the three scouts had been defeated, and a middle-aged uncle with braided hair had stacked them on top of each other, and then sat on top of them, smoking a pipe leisurely. (To be continued......)
