Chapter 520: Preparations Before Departure (I)
After an afternoon of deliberating with the stewards about how the Hakoku Comptoir would cooperate, it was not until late evening that Luna escaped from Samuel's house.
But when she got into the beast cart, she didn't go back to the royal court, but went straight to her manor.
This time, although Silas will allocate an entourage for Luna from civil to military, politicians are politicians, and over the years, Luna has already seen how many times those people turn their faces faster than they turn books.
What's more, the capital of the Feather Kingdom is far away from the Snow Wolf King City, even if those entourages can be remotely controlled by Silas, but in case of emergencies, they can only test the situation, and if they want to rely on those people to get Samuel back, Luna feels that it is as if she is relying on her own fists.
Coupled with the shortcoming of not having the right to inherit without going through the trial, Luna knows that she has to guard against not only the people of the Feather Country, but also her own people.
Although the chance of his own people rebelling is very small, it is inevitable that some people will speculate on Silas's intention to let her go to Yu Country, and have the intention of replacing her uncle with her.
In order to put an end to the brainstorming of the accompanying officials, Luna felt that it was better to bring her own people and arm herself to the teeth for insurance.
She rushed back to the manor in the middle of the night, even if she was as low-key as possible, but if she wanted to enter the gate of the manor, she would inevitably make some noise.
So, by the time Luna's cart stopped at the door of her mansion, the three old wolves and her teacher were already waiting at the door.
"Teacher, why did you come out. As soon as Luna got out of the car, she saw Gotte in a dressing gown and hurried him into the house, where the doors had been opened.
Although it is not autumn yet, the temperature outside the city is not high at night, and Gou Tet is old, Luna is really afraid that he will run out of the bed to blow the night breeze and blow it well.
"What's wrong with you coming back so late?" Gotte asked, patting Luna's hand on his shoulder.
"Grandpa Adolf, come in and sit down. Luna turned her head to greet her, and then told her about Gote's questioning, Samuel's detention in the Feather Kingdom, and some of her own concerns about the trip.
Samuel was detained by Prince Yu to marry him, not to mention that Silas and Luna, who received Samuel's distress note at that time, were stunned for a moment, and even Gote, a person who claims to be knowledgeable and has traveled a lot of mainland landscapes and read the cold and warm, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words.
Andrew's eyes widened even more, and he used that extremely vivid foggy grass expression to express his disbelief.
This also led to the entire living room for a while, only Luna echoed in a slightly cool voice, as for the other four people are basically petrified, and it is the most calm situation to leave an ear to listen to Luna when they are full of "fog grass".
It wasn't until Luna had finished talking for a long time that Gotte smacked his lips, bent over the armrest, and laughed unkindly at Samuel's bad experience.
Gotte's laughter was still quite contagious, at least since he laughed, even Adolf, who rarely laughed on weekdays, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and Luna's nerves, which had been tense all afternoon, were even more soothed.
When Gotte had laughed enough, he patted the back of Luna's head and reassured:
"Don't worry, Samuel is not stupid, he can't say that he is more nourished than you in the country now! This crown prince, well, although it is difficult for people to agree with the approach, as long as the Eagle Clan is still in the stage of pursuit, there will not be too many problems.
Although, as you say, Samuel has lost his freedom for now, there is nothing else to worry about. ”
"So I don't have to rush too much on the road?" Luna raised an eyebrow and looked at Gotte, if she didn't have to rush too much, she could wait until she was in heat before entering the territory of the Feather Kingdom, which would be in her best interest.
Gote thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"You can wait in the border city for the estrus period to pass before leaving. This can also give the illusion that there is an illusion on the side of Yuguo that we have already arranged it. ”
"You mean ......," Luna frowned.
"It is unlikely that a single crown prince, or a crown prince at such a young age, wants to stop all the messengers of Samuel Comptoir, and this is indispensable to the hand of the Eagle King. Gotte sighed.
Although people's abilities cannot be calculated by age, but in the context of the Yu royal family, where each generation can only live one, and every crown prince needs to start fighting in order to survive from the beginning of his life and sensibility, Gote knows that being young and not having enough background is the biggest shortcoming.
And the crown prince who was young but dared to detain Samuel could not be said to be a nail planted by the Eagle King in order to survive for a few more years.
"You're saying that the Eagle King deliberately let us go over to lead people?" Luna scratched her head, and although Silas warned her that the Eagle King was not easy to get along with, for Luna, who had never seen a real royal rivalry, she didn't really have any specific idea of how the Eagle King was not easy to get along with.
"To live is always the unchanging subject of the Yu royal family. You must keep in mind. Gotte stroked Luna's back and admonished.
"I see, teacher. Luna nodded earnestly.
The three words of survival alone are enough to make Luna cautious and cautious about this trip to Yukuni.
"On this trip, you take your parrot with you. Bring Thorpe with you. Gotte thought for a moment and said.
"Thorpe?" Luna glared.
She can still understand with Parrot Xiang, after all, she has learned foreign languages and foreign etiquette with Parrot Xiang for many years, and she is somewhat aware of it, Parrot Xiang is afraid that he is not an ordinary person before he is rescued by Gote, but Thorpe ......
After all five of Locke moved to Luna's manor with their families, she also gave them the corresponding adjacent land as promised, and arranged for all five of them to do things that were in line with their own abilities.
Through all these years of understanding, Luna is actually most optimistic about Locke, responsible, brainy, and more mercenary's unique righteousness and ruthlessness, although there are not many words, but then he is a guy who is "as warm as a spring breeze to his own people and as ruthless as a harsh winter to the enemy".
If it weren't for the fact that his wife's illness prevented him from getting involved in missions that were too dangerous and uncertain, Luna felt that she might not have had the opportunity to bring Locke, who could only make a living by helping escorts in relative safety.
On the other hand, Locke is Thorpe, who really has a headache for Luna, who is obviously a fox clan, but he does not have the shrewdness of a fox clan at all.
Maybe it's not accurate to say this, in fact, Thorpe is not stupid or stupid, but I don't know why, this thing always drops a chain from time to time, and the IQ is high and low and makes people have a headache to watch.
Luna had to change Thorpe several times in a row before finally settling in the tent, which could not only give full play to his advantages in financial management of the fox clan, but also not let him get off the line from time to time and cause trouble for himself as an employer.
So, forgive her for a while, I really couldn't understand why Gote wanted her to bring such an unstable factor as Thorpe by her side.
