Chapter 57 Transactions
Whether it's an honor or not, to be with Kate and them, Edge's experience is far different from that of ordinary civilians. Whether this is good or bad, it is a thing worth talking about for a commoner to stand in Princess Kate's palace.
However, Edge did not pretend to think that he had really been valued by Princess Kate, and the circle of these noble children was not so easy to get into. Whether it is in terms of etiquette, temperament or background, he has a gap with Kate.
Not expecting to get mixed in with the aristocratic circle, Aggie calmly told himself that he should be a follower next to Kate.
But he is not presumptuous. Even if he knew that he could not compare with the aristocracy in terms of temperament, etiquette, background, etc., he would not be Kate's follower in vain. He doesn't see himself as doing chores for Kate, but collaborating. Kate asks him to help find out the truth about the assassination of her by the Saint Grace Killer, and he can do everything he can to help, but at the same time, Kate must give him some favor, otherwise he won't do it.
He treats it as if he was making a deal with Kate and needs to be negotiated.
After some conversation, he learned a lot about Kate and them. Including Orwell and Tuckerley, there is also a new understanding.
Orwell was called a "nerd" by Tuckerley because he always acted according to the etiquette class and was too gentlemanly. And Tuckery is passionate about strengthening the body, treating the body as a shield, and firmly believing that the body is indestructible, so Orwell called him a "muscular man". Kate and Lisa take them for not being able to do anything, and at the same time accept the nickname they have for "revenge" against each other.
Aegie thinks it's good, and the nickname is a testament to the friendship between them. To be honest, he was a little surprised that when he first met Tuckerley, Orwell and Tuckerley had a very poor relationship. This almost made him think that they were mortal enemies, but the truth was that they were mortal enemies.
Thinking of Orwell's serious expression at the beginning, Edge felt like he had been deceived.
When he and Kate became familiar with each other, Aegie officially told them about the Saint Grace Killer. He carefully recalled the conversation he had heard under the clock tower and the backs of the two men in black he had seen, and told Kate in detail what he had seen and heard that night.
It is already certain that the Divine Grace Killer who came to assassinate Kate was Red Lotus, and the person who hired Red Lotus was one of Kate's several older brothers. Kate is the third princess of the kingdom of Relia, not that she is the third child of the king, but that she is the third of the king's daughters.
The king had a dozen children, and before Kate, there were four older brothers and two sisters, which means that she was the seventh child of the king. The person who hired Red Lotus to kill her was her brother, so four people could be targeted: the king's first four princes. And the eldest prince is studying abroad, and the third prince likes to play and has already left the royal capital, so the eldest prince and the third prince can be excluded first.
The only ones left are the second prince Sain and the fourth prince Sain.
Although Sain and Sain are the most suspicious, it does not fully mean that the eldest prince and the third prince are no longer suspicious. After all, 'Divine Grace' is a killer organization all over the Eastern Continent, so even if people are not in Caanster City, they can still ask Divine Grace's killers to assassinate Kate.
Since we can't be 100% sure, we can't jump to conclusions. This matter is important, it is related to the dispute of the royal family, and it cannot be careless. After some consideration, Kate decided to use Red Lotus as a breakthrough. If you can catch the red lotus, maybe you can ask something. Even if he's a killer, there must be a way to get him to speak.
Even if you can't get him to speak, killing him is a hidden danger.
Edge, Kate, and they consulted together for nearly two hours, and finally decided to pursue Red Lotus while investigating Kate's enemies. Towards noon, the group dispersed. Before leaving, Kate asked Ageie to stay first, and she had something to say to Edge.
When Tuckerley, Orwell, and Lisa were gone, she and Age were the only ones left in Kate's palace.
Edge was less wary of her. If the conflict between him and Kate is not resolved, he will guard against Kate. But now, all he has to do with Kai is a commoner's deference to a princess. A kind of reverence based on the level of power.
"What's the matter? Princess Kate. He asked Kate.
Kate looked at him and saw that he was looking at herself as well. This guy still doesn't understand the etiquette of "courtesy" so naturally, and looks directly at a noble princess without scruples. It's okay in front of him, if he meets another princess outside, he will stare like this and sooner or later he will suffer.
She felt the need to remind Aegie and said, "You can't look at me like that in the future, after all, you are a commoner, and it is offensive to stare at a princess like this." ”
"Oh......" Edgie thought she was going to say something, but she didn't expect to say it. He was a little speechless, but Kate was a princess, and since it was raised by the princess, it must be right for ordinary etiquette issues. So he nodded to indicate that he already knew and would pay attention to it later.
However, when he talks to Kate next, he follows Kate's reminder and doesn't look at Kate all the time, but Kate is annoyed by this. Kate snorted at him: "You really don't know each other, the princess speaks, you don't even look at it." It's so disrespectful, it's a gaffe!
Suddenly, he was really speechless to Kate, and glanced at him: "Then Your Royal Highness Princess, you mean that whether I look at you or not, it's a sin, right?"
Kate was stunned, as if too.
"In that case, I'd rather choose to look at you. Aiji didn't wait for her to reply.
Curious, she asked, "Why?"
"In order not to make yourself uncomfortable. Aiji didn't hide it, and said directly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, to be honest, you are really beautiful and sexy. As a man, it's hard to refuse your beauty. I think even if you don't let me look at you, I subconsciously want to peek at you all the time. If that's the case, it's really tormenting. ”
Kate suddenly glared at him, a chill, and said after a long time, "Are you being frivolous with me?"
Edge chuckled and said, "Even so, it's because of you. ”
"Your existence is a crime. He then quickly added.
This is what he has always wanted to complain about. This is indeed the case, Kate is too beautiful, and I believe that as long as it is a normal man, he will have fantasies about her. And once this fantasy is revealed, it is undoubtedly a crime. Because that's disrespectful to Kate, disrespectful to the princess, not what a crime is. So Kate, the source of all this, is a crime!
Kate had long understood Age's audacity, and this commoner ...... But he's funny, and it's surprising that life isn't so boring at all. Kate didn't mean to blame him for that.
At this time, Edge didn't want to stay in the palace for too long, and it was conceivable that it would be very embarrassing to wait for Kate to have nothing to say to him. For this reason, he said to Kate: "Then Your Royal Highness, what are you asking me to stay for?"
"Deal. Kate didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and said, "The deal you told me earlier. You said I had to give you some benefits, and you would do your best to help me. I like this style of doing things, and I don't owe each other. So what are your conditions?"
"A scroll to learn combat skills. Edgie admired Kate's cheerfulness and said, "I need some scrolls of combat skills to learn, including martial arts and magic." If you can give me ......."
"Yes. Before he could finish speaking, Kate directly interrupted him and said, "But I have a better deal, do you want to do it with me?"
"Tell me about it. "Aegie is happy.
"You are my guard, and I will give you the right to enter the combat skills library to read, what do you think?"
"Combat Skill Library?"
"A library of various combat techniques from the past, including martial arts and magic. Kate explained.
"No problem. "Age is still making decisions as quickly as ever.
The two were happy to finalize the deal. Until Kate finds out who is the real mastermind who wants to kill her, the deal is valid. But correspondingly, Aegie must be effective. He must first catch the Red Lotus or find useful information before he can obtain the right to enter the Combat Skill Database and consult the Combat Skill Scroll.
Now he has a goal again. If you can enter the combat skills collection library to consult, it is equivalent to learning various combat skills for free, of course, it is independent learning. How much he can learn depends on how good he is.
He felt the deal was worth it, so he readily agreed to Kate. Kate, on the other hand, is interested in his strength and believes that he is a commoner and more loyal than others.
