Chapter 2: Dedicated System Facilitator: 7
Horn slept lightly, dagger pressed under her pillow - she couldn't sleep comfortably like a pig in this harsh environment.
The nobles and lords lived in castles or large estates, while the common peasants, after paying the rent and taxes, had long since lost the money to improve their lives, and had to live in cramped, low, wooden houses with only thatched roofs.
On the continent of Valoran, it is said that in some backward countries, the lord also has the right to the first night of all the maidens in his territory.
The lives of the peasants at the bottom were dark and miserable.
......
Early in the morning, the maid came to pack her things for her and prepare to leave, looked at Horn's dress, and reminded in a low voice: "Dear Your Highness, you should not wear bright clothes. β
Horn looked down to make sure that she had just changed into a long dark green dress, and there was no extravagant decoration on the skirt...... There is no talk of being targeted and robbed by robbers at all.
Wait a minute...... Could it be said?
Sure enough, the maid Nolan said with grief on her face: "You are going to mourn Your Majesty, and you can only wear black clothes." β
"Poor Highness......!"
Sure enough.
It's not like she didn't have doubts. But it's so remote that the villagers don't know yet that their dear Maje Moore VIII has died!
For no reason, why was an unfavored princess whose mother died and was fostered in her uncle's house in a small border town for many years?
There is only one reason to mourn!
Through the conversation with 7 last night, she learned about her two older brothers, one is 31 years old and the other is 25 years old, and the younger brother is only two years old this year.
A two-year-old can just ignore the ......
Now that Moore VIII is dead, then, if her two brothers die again, she will be the rightful heir!
Horn felt that things were getting easier with the death of her cheap dad......
But on her face, she still showed a confused and sad expression: "Why? Who killed my father!
She sat down sadly on the ground, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
In his previous life, Horn was a big man, and he managed a huge underground kingdom in an orderly manner. When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense.
casually squeezing out a little tears and making a heartbroken appearance is completely pediatric for her.
Nolan picked up the "sad" princess and comforted: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the princes will definitely avenge Your Majesty!
The western part of the Sikaya Empire is now being invaded by the Andus Empire, and the death of Moore VIII is most likely caused by the Andos, but it is not ruled out that her brothers want to sit on the throne early.
Seeing that Horn was still in a daze, Nolan whispered, "Your Highness, we have to hurry." This territory is only allowed to leave the country in the morning and enter the country in the evening. Before it gets dark, we have to get to the next place......"
I have to go down the stairs, and the ground is a little dirty......
Horn "obediently" got up with the maid, changed into a black skirt, and the group walked down the muddy country road again, heading towards the imperial capital.
The Sikaya Empire was vast, with 70% of the territory in the south and 30% in the north. Before the sixth generation of the Moorish Emperor, each emperor was a famous monarch on the Valoran continent, leading the Sikaya Empire to stand at the peak of the Valoran continent. Six generations later, under the mediocrity and profligacy of unscrupulous descendants, Sikaya began to decline.
It is said that when Horn's father, Moore VIII, ascended the throne, he was also in a conscientious mood. He studied hard and tried to govern the country, but the reality was often different from the ideal, and under his rule, Sikaya did not become stronger, but gradually declined. When Sikaya was in the sixth generation, he did not stabilize the development of his ancestors, and under the absurd rule of the seventh generation of emperors, he made a lot of messes.
Moore VIII has no ability to reach the sky, nor does he have any talent for Mingjun, his qualifications are mediocre, and his heart is weak, and this mess can no longer be cleaned up. Every time there is news of border frictions, and the diplomatic flaunting of other countries, and then compared with the previous glory of the empire, the gap in my heart is like a knife. So he finally chose to go with the flow, and before he officially threw the mess to the next heir, he lay down forever.
Horn sat in the carriage and was tossed by the carriage, and it had been 9 days since the departure, and there were no assassinations or robberies on the road, and it was very safe.
There are two older brothers in front of her, and everyone is staring at the two most likely successors, and it is not her turn to be an unfavored princess.
But Horn still hasn't let his guard down...... Since the mission is to reach the imperial capital alive, before entering the city gate, you must not be careless.
Halfway through, a gang of robbers suddenly appeared and cut her beyond recognition, or a group of bandits jumped out and kidnapped her...... All of this is highly likely.
Without ruling out the possibility that the mission was foreseen, she chose the tyrant route and was freed, and the greatest sacrifice in exchange for it was the unknown road ahead.
Horn's uncle was a lord on the southwestern frontier, and the imperial capital was in the center of the entire south, Wangcheng.
At this rate, they still have 5 days to arrive.
The driver was still coughing, and Horn seriously suspected that he had pneumonia. Therefore, in the carriage, even if the weather outside is good, she never opens the curtain of the carriage, and usually does not talk to the coachman to avoid contact with him.
This princess's body is actually very delicate, although she is not favored, but in her uncle's territory, her mother had a good relationship with her brother before her death, so she is also doing well.
Horn looked in the blurred mirror, a gentle face, a little good in the eyes of her countless beauty, well, in her opinion, just a little.
Her long, shiny black hair was not dry and frizzy even after a long journeyβyes, her whole body looked black from a distance.
Deep green eyes, small eyes, a little narrow.
According to the description of the maid Nolan, he is quite smiling, an optimistic and cute child, and his eyes are long and crooked when he laughs, which is very pleasing.
And now, Horn glanced coldly, and his narrow eyes were a little gloomy.
The maid Nolan automatically imagined a reason for her: "Your Highness, you don't like to smile since Your Majesty died, please don't be too sad, everything will pass! Do you know? You used to laugh as warm as the sun in winter!"
"Woooooooooo......oo My poor father!"
At this time, Horn looked at her sadly, and seemed even more lonely.
This greatly stimulates Nolan's motherhood, and Nolan takes care of Horn more nuancedly.
As Horn's reciprocation, Horn felt (strong) and forced Nolan to eat first in the first bite of his three meals a day.
Princess Horn Moore, a member of the Sikaya Empire.
The skin is white and soft, and a gentle pinch can pinch out the water - if you are lightly touched by something, it will also be bruised.
That's right, just now the carriage jolted again, and her arm hit the carriage, and she rolled up her sleeves - and sure enough, it was blue again.
This body is very delicate and sensitive, which means that the ability to suffer pain is also very poor, so in the past 9 days, although there is no danger to her life, due to the bumps in the road, she has almost not shed her skin.
Horn lowered her sleeves with a blank face, and she asked the guards why they didn't go the official way......
At that time, Robert, the chief of the guard, immediately asked her with some contempt: "Take the official road, do you want to take the official road to the distant territory of Lord Hera?"
"By the time you arrive at the imperial capital, Your Majesty's body will already be decomposed!"
"Put away your stupid and ignorant thoughts!"
......
Horn felt that it made sense.
7 appeared next to her without a trace, reminding: "If you punish him now, it may increase the tyrant value." β
Horn got into the carriage without looking back, and said in his heart, "7, this should be what the maid said." β
It's like the little brother around her in her previous life who instigated her:
"Boss, XX is unruly, you go and kill him to vent his anger for the brothers. β
- Horn killed the little brother with a backhand.
"What are you? and dare to sway my thoughts?"
In a high position, the last thing Horn can see is that his subordinates are pointing fingers at him.
......
Extinguishing 7 well, unlikely.
She still has a lot of things she doesn't understand, and she still needs this guide.
......
7 Standing still, the guard easily passed through his body and mounted his horse. A black light emerges, and 7 prepares to disappear.
Horn said to himself, "Wait. β
7 Looking over from afar in a smiley mask, Horn guessed that he must have been expressionless underneath the maskβif he had a face.
"7, will you protect me?"
7 replied, "I'm your exclusive system facilitator, codenamed '7'. β
Laugh at...... Horn smiled dismissively.
What a ghost, others already look down on her and are not favored, and they dare to punish others, but after punishment, who will protect her?
Now the situation is: are you worthy?
β......β
"In the outside world, if you don't deliberately hide it, I know what you think in your heart. β
Horn glanced at him and said without shame, "Oh, that's even better." In the future, please don't talk nonsense. β
7: "I'm sorry, but that's my duty. β
Horn was unimpressed. Don't look at 7 all day long to her, you, you, you, but she can perceive that 7 has no sincere respect for her, like a boring machine, mechanically saying emotionless words. Once as a superior, she was sensitive to such emotions.
7 went on to retort, "No, I have great respect for you. β
Horn squinted at him with dark green eyes, as if through that smiling mask, she said slowly: "Ao~ Then you have made up your mind to do your duty as a maid? As a maid, I think you can do your duty to warm your master's bed. It has rained recently, and I always feel very cold in the bed. β
7 The voice said calmly: "Your heart rate is normal at this time, which means that you don't want to do this, and normal women will have a rapid heartbeat when they say such frivolous words." β
Horn withdrew his gaze: "Ah, you found out." β
7 asked her, "Why did you feel so happy after being debunked?"
"Ah, really?" said Horn casually, "because your dull appearance is so cute and pleasing to me." β
7 Wondered: "How did you manage to say anything without real feelings?"
Horn suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he put away his thoughts and closed his eyes: "Shut up, I'll kill you if you talk again......"
7 Honestly: "You can't kill ......"
Forget it, guide the person and the host, just get along the next day, it's better not to turn against each other.
7 thought about it, and finally fell silent: "......"
The black light flashed, and the white smiling masked man immediately disappeared in place.
