Chapter XXXV. Arrangement
"Your Royal Highness. "When I came to the restaurant, Emma was already waiting here, her posture was a bit stiff, but it was a common gesture for aristocratic ladies to be different from the way of a maid.www.biquge.info
Leon never asked Emma about her previous life background, what was her family like before she hid in the woods, was there anyone else in the family, would you like to see them again, these questions were too personal for Leon to take the liberty of asking, but he had to find a chance to ask.
From her movements, it can be seen that the living conditions in the past should be good, but in the end, she hid and lived alone, and there must have been a lot of hardships in it.
While eating, Leon thought about it and decided to knock on the side.
"Riley, your last name seems to be Hornnoby. Leon deliberately made a mistake in order to set the stage for the next sentence.
"Your Highness, it's Hornsby. Riley didn't know what the prince was thinking, and thought he had forgotten, after all, he had only said it once, or when they first met, and it was good that he could still remember most of it after so long.
"Oh, I remembered. Emma, what about you?" Leon's purpose was to know her surname, and if it was a noble lady, then it would be good to find out who she was.
"Your Highness, I don't have a surname. Emma's answer was beyond Leon's expectations. There are two possibilities for not having a surname, one is an illegitimate child, and the other is a slave who is deprived of his life freedom.
There are also several cases of illegitimate children, one is the bastard son of a nobleman like York, and his father is willing to recognize him, so he can take his father's surname, and if he is not recognized, he will follow the surname of the god in the Holy See.
The second type is those who are sold into slavery in other people's homes, they must serve their masters all their lives, they have no wages and no freedom in life, they are similar to slaves in the Strait City-States, except that they will not be resold and spend their lives in one family.
"And who are you?" Leon didn't know which situation she belonged to.
"Maid. Emma replied briskly, and most people would mind if someone asked such a question, but there was no displeasure on Emma's face.
Leon thought about it, generally only aristocratic families have maids, if this is the case, she has seen many aristocratic ladies salute, and it is not a problem to be able to learn it.
"If you want to get me back, you can do it. Emma stopped her knife and fork with an aggrieved expression on her face. The servants of the house fled, and if anyone caught and sent back, they received a bounty from their master's family.
"No, I don't like that money. When Leon heard her words, he felt funny in his heart, how much money did he get when he caught it, and her ability was priceless in a small town. It's a pity that the words in my heart were said unconsciously.
"Ah, if you have a lot of money, you're really going to get me back. Emma's eyes widened, she just joked, she couldn't believe that she was still sitting here, maybe she would be sold one day.
"Your Highness is laughing, don't worry. Riley hurried out of the round.
Leon also quickly shook his head: "Of course not." ”
Emma saw the prince's sincerity and believed it, and it was not easy to get her back. Besides, if the prince was such a person, he would have asked it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now.
"By the way, Emma, you're going to train tomorrow, right?" Riley interjected into a new topic, the atmosphere just now was too awkward. He knew that the prince didn't have a heart, and it was better to distract everyone at this time.
"Hmm. The injuries on my body have been completely healed, and I am almost suffocated when I have nothing to do every day. Emma said as she picked up her knife and fork again.
I have lived in the mountains and forests for so long, and I have been running around for food every day, but now that the situation is better, I suddenly find that I am a little idle and panicked. If you want to change, you can't do it in a day or two, just go to training early, and you can't be lazy with the prince's salary.
"It just so happens that I'm off tomorrow, so I'll go with you. "Riley has been busy for a week and has just had a break tomorrow. Emma's first training, the archer was also the first to use enchanted arrows, the kind of enchanted things are not small, and accidents will inevitably occur during training, and she can help there.
Leon also said it was a good idea.
Usually Riley is on the side of the lumberyard, and the people in the town are injured, and if they are serious, they will rush to the lumberyard, and if they are not serious, they will not be treated until Riley returns. Witches are also human beings, and those who scratch a little skin are directly rejected by Leon, and they also need to rest.
In this first training, although the arrows were all shooting in one direction, who knows if there will be an accident, having Riley present can at least ensure that everyone is alive. Now is an era of scarcity, and no one is missing.
"Is Your Highness going too?" asked Emma, turning her head.
"Of course, I'm going to introduce you to each other, and I'm going to explain the rules to you. "Now York is not in the town and he's in charge of training. The archers didn't know Emma, and Emma didn't know them, and of course it was through the prince to coordinate.
Secondly, Emma's abilities are not possessed by ordinary people, but they are not possessed by legendary witches, and for this, Leon can't put a veil on her and say that she is a craftsman from the royal capital, and anyone can make such a weapon by touching it.
Emma appeared in the eyes of the people in such a bright light, her identity Leon had already been thought of, an alchemist from the royal capital, and the mysterious powder she created could increase the lethality. Whether they believe it or not, Leon said so anyway, they have to believe it if they don't believe it.
"Is there a woman among the alchemists?" Emma was a little puzzled, she had never seen a female alchemist, and she had never heard of it.
"Look, you don't know, and they certainly don't either. As long as I say it, they will believe it. "Leon still believes in his own authority, and the people of the town will not suspect that the prince will tell a lie, because it is meaningless.
The prince is right, this is the unanimous opinion of the townspeople at present, but not everything, such as the matter of witches, has to change slowly, they have long believed that witches can bewitch people, and the prince suddenly stands up and says that witches are good people, they can only think that the prince is bewitched. Only by letting them slowly get in touch with witches, and finally relying on themselves to break the cognition in their hearts is the most important.
"Shall I wear a military uniform as well?" Emma remembered the guards at the gate and the archers on patrol, all of whom were wearing military uniforms, and she would probably have to wear them when she went to training now.
"Don't use this for the time being, just keep your body flexible. "Leon didn't think about this, the uniforms are all men's. So far, there have been no female soldiers, let alone women's uniforms. Her role is not to fight, but to provide resources, so the requirements for clothing can't be too high, right? Leon didn't know it in his heart, so he decided it for now.
