"Sophia, how is it? Can you continue to hold on?" Sidney asked with concern, holding the limping Sophia hard.

Hearing Sidney's gentle question, Princess Sophia's nose was sour, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. This pampered aristocratic daughter, the princess of a dignified country, could never have imagined that she would have such an embarrassing day, and Sidney's concern at this time made Princess Sophia's heart feel more aggrieved.

"Sister Sidney~, I'm tired again, will we never be able to go back to Paris?" Princess Sophia, who had faded away from her nobility and squeamishness, looked very simple, as if she really showed her age-appropriate behavior at this time, and Princess Sophia really made people realize that this was just a teenage girl in the flower season.

"What a fool's errand! We can't walk as fast as a carriage on our feet, but if we keep going step by step, we'll always come back to Paris. "Maybe it's the long years of military service, or maybe it's the years of being ignored by Emperor Paris that have made Sidney far more mature than Princess Sophia, and she really encourages and supports Sophia like a sister.

Princess Sophia's delicate feet were already covered with blisters, her soft sheepskin boots were covered with dust and mud, and her body was covered with mud and grass juice after several falls, and her beautiful face was also covered by dust. Seeing Sophia's embarrassed appearance and pitiful eyes, Sidney's heart ached.

I can't blame anyone else for the fact that this field has fallen to this point, and I can only blame myself and Sophia for not resisting the great temptation brought by the emptiness of Pritz City. If only I could endure it at that time, at least I would have stayed in Pritz City with dignity and would not have fallen into the field of being hunted down.

But all this is really unexpected, who would have thought that Leo, who was simple and kind in front of him, would reserve so many back-hands? Sidney thought about it, and Leo's simple and shy appearance seemed to appear in front of him, like a big boy who was just beginning to fall in love, but he unexpectedly had a delicate mind and complex scheming.

If the appearance of the Dark Council and Achilles was unexpected, then the obsidian goyles, two-headed wyverns, and thunder unicorns were usually shown in front of Sidney's eyes, but Sidney never saw them as obstacles, but he didn't know that Leo had left a hundred ways to lurk in Pritz City, who could command these magical beasts.

And the mercenaries, it was really Sidney's mistake. Obviously, Sidney was present when Leo recruited, managed, and formulated a policy of preferential treatment for mercenaries, but due to the mainland's inherent understanding of mercenaries, Sidney did not take mercenaries who saw money in his eyes, and did not think that mercenaries would fight for Prydz City. Moreover, with the prestige of the Paris Empire, it should be enough to make the mercenaries defect by spilling money offensive.

The fact gave Sidney a slap in the face, and even the personal solicitation of the Dark Speaker did not have a mercenary who chose to turn his back on Pritz City, which is enough to show what Leo and Pritz mean in the minds of the mercenaries. Thinking of this, Sidney couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, he still looked away, Leo was able to go from a family outcast to today, and he really has his unique ability and charm, even if Sidney warned himself not to underestimate him from the beginning, but in the end he still didn't guess his hole cards.

Just as Sidney and Sophia sat on a dead tree stump, each in their own thoughts, the sound of stamping on fallen leaves was heard in the desolate woods. Sidney snapped open his eyes and glanced at Princess Sophia, who was full of panic, and Sidney quietly waved her hand to Sophia, motioning for her to hide behind a large tree.

"No need to hide, Her Royal Highness the princess should come out!" As an old and cold voice sounded, Sidney was shocked to find that it was the old man Feng Xifan Feng who she didn't want to see the most.

has been by Leo's side for so long, and he has also faced Feng Xifan head-on back then, Sidney naturally knows something about this old man. Don't look at Feng Xifan's great respect for Leo, and he is also kind and kind to Sidney, but Sidney knows that if someone dares to go against this old man's mind, the strange and unpredictable internal force will make people unable to survive and die.

I don't know how many times, Sidney saw the enemy who fell into the hands of Feng Xifan die silently, and even Sidney personally examined several corpses, but could not find any fatal injuries at all. If he hadn't known that Feng Xifan was a swordsman, Sidney really thought that he would capture people's souls, otherwise how could he have let people die so unexplained.

An unnatural look flashed on his handsome face, Sidney quickly stood up, and shouted a little helplessly: "Master Feng, you...... Why are you here?"

"Hmph, how could I be here?" Feng Xifan snorted coldly, ironically repeating Sidney's question.

Just as I didn't think you would betray Pritz and Leo, you must not have imagined that I didn't leave Pritz from the beginning, and my mission was to keep an eye on you and Sophia!"

What came out of Feng Xifan's mouth made Sidney stand there in shock like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he vaguely heard a scream from Princess Sophia: "That's impossible! How could you know about our plan in advance!"

With Leo's trust and affection for him, how could he have arranged to guard himself in advance? What was the place where the horse's feet were exposed? Or was it ...... Leo didn't really trust himself in the first place?

Sidney felt as if his sky was about to collapse, even if Sidney made the decision to betray Leo under Princess Sophia's repeated coquettishness and family calling, but in Sidney's heart, he still felt that his feelings for Leo were sincere, and Leo must have loved him equally.

Now Feng Xifan's words have shattered all Sidney's illusions, it turns out that in Leo's eyes, he is not trustworthy?

Looking at Sidney's sluggish appearance, Feng Xifan's eyes showed too much happiness and at the same time, there was also a trace of unbearability. Although it is happy to be able to hit Sidney verbally, and let this woman who betrayed Leo be punished, after all, he was extremely optimistic about Sidney and Leo, and even Feng Xifan once fantasized about what would happen after Leo had an heir. Now Sidney's appearance made Feng Xifan's heart a little unbearable.

But in the end, it was Feng Xifan, who had no sword and no blood, and with a flick of his kung fu, he let go of all his feelings, and his face returned to a cold and stern appearance.
