Chapter Fifty-Eight: Found Again
It's no wonder that Custer asks this question, in fact, both he and Offariel, after knowing the identity of the person they are guarding, think that Yulian will definitely adopt a "low-key" approach to avoid attracting the attention and suspicion of the Zack family, until everyone is safely delivered to their destination. But now, they finally understood that the lord hadn't thought about any low-key actions at all, and then again......... He really didn't say that to himself.
O'Faryl was used to Julien's style of doing things, so he didn't say much after the thought turned, but Custer was a little depressed inside, and he finally figured out the lord's surnameβbut judging by the results, maybe he could be a little more relieved if he didn't know. In the face of such a lord who likes to play with words and languages, he really has no idea where to start.
Considering the strong strength of the other party, its threat surname can also be imagined.
But now that Custer has no regret pills to take, he knows very well that Yulian has shown his strength, and a considerable part of it is to warn them not to act rashly. And now, Custer has already dispelled those stupid ideas in his head, he doesn't have the courage to fight against high-level swordsmen, although he is a soldier, but he can't talk about dying allegiance for the Bird family, naturally he won't make brain-dead moves like the guards of the Zack family.
In fact, the reason why Custer made such a decision has something to do with Viscount Juventus, as early as when Yulian showed his strength before, Custer was doubting, with the eyes of Viscount Juventus, how could he not see the strength of the young lord in front of him. After all, Viscount Juventus is not some incompetent nobleman, but a core figure in the Bird family, and he doesn't believe that he knows anything about the strength of this lord. Then there is only one explanation, he and the others were sent here to send them to death. Maybe the Viscount of Juventus had already seen through the strength of this lord, but he couldn't find an excuse to deal with him, so he let himself provoke this lord.
Custer has been working in the Bird family all year round, and he has seen a lot of transactions between the upper nobles, but this does not mean that he will be willing to let himself be a part of the transaction, what are you kidding, your life is your own.
Thinking of this, Custer didn't have any good feelings for the Bird family, and as for what the Viscount of Juventus said to him before, "take the opportunity to disturb the twilight forest", it also has a little sinister flavor in his current recall. Caster is not an idiot, of course he understands that if he really does what Viscount Juventus says, then he will definitely die in the end. He didn't believe that if there was an emergency, the Bird family would risk offending the high-ranking swordsman to protect him, who was he? He was just the leader of the garrison, although his strength was outstanding, but such a character was not unique in the Bird family, and he had no relationship with the Bird family, and the Bird family would protect him? This is just a dream.
After drawing this inference in his mind, Custer suddenly became angry, since this lord showed his strength in front of them and told him to do it himself, then it was very likely that he wanted to accept their group. Anyway, the Bird family has already sold them, and they also let the Bird family take a good look at it, they are not soft persimmons to be kneaded by others! Don't you want to sacrifice us? Okay, then I will become a subordinate of this lord, and take a good look at you, the Bird family will be great, the great nobles will be great, can we sell people at will? We are not slaves, we are swordsmen!
If Viscount Juventus hears Caster's inner monologue here, I am afraid that he will want to cry without tears. But now, alas, others are not here, and it is naturally impossible to read Custer's thoughts.
"My lord, if you have any use for us, please feel free to speak, and you're welcome. β
At this moment, Custer no longer had the slightest hint of disrespect, he bowed his head respectfully and spoke.
"I don't need you to do anything for me yet. β
Sensing the change in Custer's attitude, the corners of Yulian's mouth curled slightly, of course he didn't know how to read minds, but the gloomy expression when Custer was thinking just now fell in his eyes, although I don't know if this guy is acting, but at least judging from the current situation, he should know how to choose.
"You just have to do your thing, don't you?"
"Yes, we'll do it right away. β
Of course, Custer heard the prevarication in Yulian's tone, and was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, he and the others were also sent by the Bird family after all, and it was normal for the other party to distrust, but this mission was also their opportunity, if they could complete the task excellently, then it must have changed in the eyes of this lord. Thinking of this, Custer didn't say anything more, took the order happily, and then turned to leave.
"What an interesting development. β
Looking at Custer's back, Yulian showed a hint of an interesting smile, and from Custer's tone, he could feel that this originally ill-intentioned guy seemed to have made some decision at the moment, but it was okay, if these guys were really willing to follow him, he wouldn't mind taking it. But unfortunately, the dinner that was originally planned for Judy and her sisters will be postponed.
Anyway, there is time in the future.
Thinking of this, Yu Lian didn't think much about it, pushed the door open, and walked into the room.
"My lord, do you really believe what they say?"
O'Faryl looked out the door with some curiosity, she naturally heard the conversation between Custer and Julien just now, O'Faryl was not surprised by the change in Custer's attitude, people are all interested in advantages and disadvantages, just like her, if she is just pretending to be an ordinary wandering scholar, although she will be noticed, but it is not respected. But once the identity of his princess is revealed, those who have kept his distance from him in the past will immediately put on another face and enthusiastically come up. At first, O'Faryl didn't feel comfortable either, but she accepted it. After all, sometimes, it is not just enthusiasm and care that can be done for people, if there is no strength and status, then it is completely insufficient. During her lifetime, she once helped a village as a wandering scholar, but the village chief was always a little lukewarm in the face of her help, which caused O'Faryl to hit several soft nails. And when she later resumed her status as a princess and came to inspect again, the village chief was unusually enthusiastic, and the previous requests to Ofaril that had never been made clear were also clearly stated. It was only then that Offariel realized that if she was really a wandering scholar, she would not be able to solve the problems faced by the village, and that only with her status and power as a princess could she solve these difficulties. It was only after that incident that Offariel matured so much that she began to learn to distinguish between those who asked for something and those who had bad intentions, and as to which one Caster belonged to, Her Highness had no way of determining for sure.
After all, people change.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, he doesn't expect us to believe him right away. β
Yuren shrugged his shoulders.
"Sometimes, it's good for them to be suspicious of others. β
Hearing this, O'Faryl sighed helplessly, this kind of inexplicable and unreasonable speech is not the first time she has heard it from the mouth of this lord, O'Faril used to argue with him for a few words, and now she has given up this boring practice, as for whether Yuren's speech is correct, only God knows.
"So, my lord, you are ready to face the nobles, and although this is a small city, I think the nobles will come to you soon. β
"Let them come, I have nothing to worry about, and ........."
Speaking of this, Yulian suddenly paused imperceptibly, because at this moment in front of him, Offariel had already turned around and took off the cloak on her body, revealing her slender and slender figure inside, and looking at her hands, it seemed that she had no intention of stopping at all.
β......... I've shown my true strength, and no matter how suspicious these people may be, they won't believe me for who I really am. β
Of course, Yuren's pause was only for a moment, and the next moment he regained his original composure and indifference, and while answering Ofariel's inquiry, Yuren pulled a chair and sat down, looking at the girl in front of him with interest.
"That's true. β
Ofaril didn't seem to react at all, she took off her coat and responded calmly.
"Even the Bird family, after getting information about your true strength, must have retreated a lot......... But, my lord, do you really know Master Larry Bod?"
"There are some ......... between me and him A small connection. β
Yulian squinted his eyes, admiring the skin of Ofaryl in front of him, the white, delicate and radiant arms, round and petite shoulders and slender waist looked so perfect, and against the backdrop of the long violet hair, it was even more dazzling, making people linger.
"However, we don't need to worry about these boring things for the time being, Miss O'Faryl, would you be interested in going out shopping with me? β
"If it's your invitation, then I certainly have no reason to decline. β
Saying this, Ofariel nodded and replied with a wry smile.
"Then please wait a moment until I'm done changing....................."
Saying this, Offariel suddenly stopped, she stood there, as if she had only realized the situation at this time, her hands that had been stiff in the air began to tremble, and a beautiful pink appeared on that beautiful face.
"Your Lord, ........."
"Don't worry, I don't mind..............."
"But I mind! Now, please get out!!"
"Okay. β
In the face of Ofariel's words, Yulian spread his hands helplessly, then stood up and walked out of the room.
I really didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would have such an unexpected side, which was really eye-opening for him. Although as early as the previous "uniform turmoil", Yu Lian had noticed that under Offariel's shrewd and capable appearance, there was probably another self hidden, but he did not expect that Offariel's hidden essence would be like this...............
Still, the figure is really good.
"Phew!"
Just as Yuren was reminiscing about the scenery he had just admired, the door of the room that had been closed opened again, and unlike before, Ofariel, dressed in full costume, stood there, looking at Yuren with a shy and annoyed look on his face. But unlike before, she had changed out of the outfit of a wandering scholar that she usually wore, and instead uncharacteristically changed into the beautiful skirt that aristocratic women often wore. This is the clothes that Ofaril "scavenged" in the wardrobe of the castle, although the style is a little older, but it is unusually beautiful and moving when worn by Ofaril.
"It's just going out for dinner, is it necessary to exaggerate that?"
Yulian's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the girl in front of him.
"This is to cooperate with your performance, my lord......... I don't think you're a noble lord, so you don't just wear this outfit to show up in front of those nobles. β
O'Faryl gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth in response.
"It's not my lieutenant. β
Compared to Ofariel, Yulian still had a calm face, as if nothing embarrassing had happened between the two of them.
"If you understand my thoughts so well, please wait a while, and I'll come when I go. β
"Lord Yuren!"
Seeing that Yulian was really going to turn around and slip away like this, Ofaril was a little unhappy, although it was not his fault in the first place, but recalling the playful smile in Yulian's eyes just now, Ofaril still asked a little depressedly.
"Why didn't you remind me just now?"
"Remind you?"
In the face of Ofariel's inquiry, Yulian tilted his head with some curiosity, as if he did not understand her statement at all.
"That's what I just ............... ......... when I changed my clothes."
Speaking of this, Ofariel's voice became smaller and smaller, and she also knew that it was not the first time that she had made a fool of herself in front of Yulian, but this hateful lord, couldn't he react like a gentleman?
"It is very rude to speak while a lady is changing clothes. β
But O'Fariel didn't expect that Yulian would give such an answer immediately.
"This is especially true when a beautiful lady like you is changing clothes, and as a man, all I can do to be polite is to watch quietly. β
And you were still talking to me at the time, weren't you.........?
Thinking of this, Offariel's face turned red, and she was about to say something more, but at this moment Yulian was already in debt, performed a perfect aristocratic etiquette, and quickly slipped into her room.
"Lord Yuren!"
Ofaril was angry and annoyed to see Yuren's voice disappear, but in the end she let out a long sigh and lowered her head.
Although she occasionally has a vague habit, and O'Faryl knows it, she has always been very aware of this. Except in front of those close to him, Ofariel has never shown this "unexpected" side of himself to outsiders. But why, why do you always fall into it unconsciously when facing this young man?
Thinking of this, O'Faryl shook his head vigorously, leaving his doubts and uneasiness behind.
Now, just do what you can.
