Chapter 73: The Visitor (3)

Today's snowy avenue was crowded with people and vehicles, not ordinary people, but groups of lords and messengers preparing to leave the royal capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info A group of people have left early in the morning, otherwise they would not even be able to walk on this avenue.

Duke O'Dohono's team was already waiting outside the inn.

On the first day of the duke's arrival, he had ordered the Knight of Conan to be transported back to Canyon City for burial, and now the team was only half the size when they came, and it looked a lot less imposing than the large army of the other lords around him.

Although the size of the team is small, it does not affect the status of the Duke in the hearts of everyone in the slightest. The lords who left first would stop to say hello and chat a few words before continuing on the road after seeing the duke, which caused the convoy on the road to stop and go, delaying a lot of time.

The Duke stood at the front of the procession, and as soon as the princess arrived, they would set off at once.

"Father, when are we leaving?" asked the duke's youngest daughter, Irene, who had been sitting in the car for a while before the convoy started, and wondered why her father was delaying time.

"Princess Amy arrives, and we'll go. The Duke smiled lovingly, and such a smile could only be revealed when facing Irene, for she was the Duke's only daughter. His sons will not be treated like this, and they will always face a serious face.

"Why wait for Her Highness the Princess?" Irene was only nine years old and didn't know something.

"Because she's going to Canyon with us. The Duke explained simply, and he didn't intend to say why, because he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

That night, after crying, Princess Amy begged the Duke to take her away from the castle, away from the royal capital, to start a new life in Vale.

The Duke didn't know what was going on, but he could see the despair and loss in Amy's eyes, and taking her away might not be the best option, but at least it would calm her down.

Soon the princess's motorcade came from the direction of the castle, and in addition to the salute, there were several personal maids and a team of guards, all of whom were the princess's entourage.

Amy stepped out of the carriage and was greeted by the Duke.

"Amy, if you've calmed down now, you should know that going to Valley City isn't a good choice for you, and it's not too late to give up. "The Duke had never thought of marrying Amy, and even if he had agreed to her request at the time, his mind had not changed now, and she should not go.

"No, maybe that's the best option. Amy smiled and said, at least the Duke was telling the truth, thinking about her, and that alone was better than staying in the royal capital.

The Duke didn't know why, and asked her why she did it, but she didn't say it, and now he asked her, and the result should be similar, so the Duke had to keep the words in his heart, and let her go to Valley City to relax, maybe she would think it through.

"Then get in the car, it's time for us to go. "The Duke was not accustomed to riding in carriages, but preferred to walk in the ranks on horseback himself.

Amy nodded and went back to her car.

Amy didn't tell the Duke why she did it because it was useless to say it. The opposition of the two of them was no match for the king's order, and the duke had already had a rift with the royal family, and he could not contradict the royal family because of such a thing, unless it was against the king's will, the duke's situation would become very difficult, and she did not want to see such a thing happen.

In addition, she really doesn't want to stay in the royal capital, everything she once knew has changed, she can't feel the usual warmth, and she will be relieved as soon as she leaves early.

The convoy finally moved and slowly headed towards the city gate.

Amy lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window, she didn't have a chance to take a good look at it when she was so big, and this last chance should be grasped well.

When a princess marries, unless she encounters something as important as a celebration, it is generally impossible to have the opportunity to return to the royal capital. If she is like Leon's second sister, she is squeezed out by the royal capital, and it is impossible to marry out, even if the king dies last year, only her husband will come to the royal capital, she is really helpless but has no choice.

Amy's mind is a little foggy right now, and she doesn't know if she wants to come back again, and it seems that only time will tell.

"Lord Nord, how long will it take to get to Valley City?" Amy saw the duke on horseback not far ahead. She had never traveled far yet, and the furthest she had been to a summer palace outside the city, and the rest of the place could only be known from other people's mouths, and sometimes she was very envious of the daughters of merchants who could follow their father around the country.

"According to the current itinerary, it will take about ten days to arrive. The Duke slowed down his horse's pace and kept the horse's speed with the cart. From Snowman to Valley City, there was a wide avenue between the two places more than a decade ago, so the schedule will be shortened, but it will still take ten days.

"Ten days. Amy repeated, this was the first time she had traveled so far, and ten days might be a long time, but for her, it was an opportunity to gain knowledge, and she would pass through several territories on the way, some of which were famous, and if she had the chance, Amy planned to experience them. Her identity determines that she has few opportunities to go out, and once she arrives in Vale City, it will be difficult to go out again.

"Is there a problem?" the Duke asked, tilting his head.

"Nope. Amy shook her head and told a lie. She actually wanted to say what was in her heart, but she couldn't help but think that the Duke was still in a hurry to go back to deal with the Knight of Conan. This selfishness of oneself should not embarrass others, let alone for the sake of the Knight of Conan.

The Duke didn't speak again, he heard what others were saying about politics and military affairs clearly, and Amy didn't understand anything like that, knowing that she had something to say, but he just didn't know what it would be.

Amy was sitting in the car and suddenly felt the car stop.

She looked outside, thinking something had happened.

"Your Highness the Princess. Soon a girl appeared in front of the princess's car, and that was Miss Irene.

"Princess, Irene should be in the same car with you, there should be no problem, right?" It turned out that the convoy stopped, it was the Duke who wanted Irene to sit in the princess's car, and the princess was reluctant to say something to him, but at least she would reveal some news to Irene, and besides, it was boring all the way, and someone had to accompany her to talk and relieve her boredom.

"Absolutely. Amy couldn't find a reason to say no, and she didn't want to. Taking advantage of this time to get acquainted with Irindo, in the future, when I go to Valley City, there is also someone to talk to, she is several years younger than herself, but she can still find topics to talk about in a similar lifestyle.

The Duke nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the convoy continued on its way.
