Ofariel's awakening solved Yuren's last heart problem, and now that the Sith Empire had retreated, he quickly retracted his mind and began to think about solving another problem, that is, a problem within his scope - the trouble with the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment.

This mercenary group seems to be quite honest on the surface, but they are not so honest in private, in fact, Mary also noticed some unstable actions in the mercenary group, but she did not report to Yu Lian for the purpose of protecting her team, but Yu Lian did not need to listen to her report, because Mary definitely did not expect that there were people around her who were following and watching at all times.

According to the information that Yuren obtained, the Blue Feather Mercenary Group originally planned to incite the refugees to do something while they were out to fight against the Sith Empire, but because Yu Lian's actions were too fast, the Blue Feather Mercenary Group had to complete the attack of the Sith Empire before they had time to start an operation, which had to make the Blue Feather Mercenary Group abandon this plan.

However, Yu Lian didn't intend to let them go, the so-called outside first and then inside, now that the outside is quiet, he has to hurry up and clean up the inside. Especially the Blue Feather Mercenary Group, he can't tolerate the other party to do it so unlimitedly, the reason why he put them here is very simple, in Yulian's opinion, this mercenary group is a bait used to fall out of the people behind them, but because there was little time before, Charlotte also had to make a cameo appearance in her position because of O'Fariel's fall, so she could only put this matter aside for a while. Now that Ofariel is back, she's been freed from her temporary assignment and back to her job.

For this mercenary group, Yulian must take it, and his breakthrough is still on Mary. In fact, from Charlotte, he already knew that there were some opinions about Mary within the mercenary group now, after all, not to mention the task of her investigation, and now there is an additional task to protect Shirley, so that Mary has been running to the twilight forest for three days, which can't help but make some people unaccustomed to it, and besides, Yulian is also very richly paid, it is really difficult not to wonder if he is a drunkard who does not mean to drink.

And Yulian did mean this, but Mary didn't think so, her reason was very simple, she accompanied Shirley around the twilight castle all day, she had found that there were more beautiful people in this castle than herself, and when chatting with them, you could detect the deep love of these maids for the lord, some of them showed it directly, and some of them completely pretended to be indifferent, but everyone was a woman's surname, and they didn't need to confirm each other's little surnames, as long as they relied on intuition. So in the eyes of the little mercenary, so many beautiful girls are by the lord's side, he doesn't need to have any thoughts about himself at all, he is a mercenary who comes and goes in the wind and rain all day long, he is not particularly beautiful, and he is not as white and tender as those maids, so she doesn't believe that the lord will put so much effort into getting herself.

Unfortunately, although Mary thinks so, it doesn't mean that her companions see it that way, they haven't been to Twilight Castle, so the only impression they have of it is that there are a lot of beautiful women there, and the lord who has gathered so many beautiful women around him is certainly not a good person. And Mary is also a very cute girl in the group, so it's not surprising that Yulian wants to attack her.

So Mary's argument seemed to them like a young and ignorant child who was completely unaware of the danger she was facing, and instead admonished her even more, which made Mary very troubled, so after explaining several times and finding that it did not work, she asked for no more explanation. To Julien's surprise, the boy who had always been against him was on Mary's side this time, supporting her actions.

"Thank you, Crowk. ”

After arguing with the members of the group again, Mary couldn't help but look at the young man beside her with a wry smile.

It was an old member of the group who quarreled with her just now, but she didn't care about Mary at all, but more of a mockery, it was an old woman, and she didn't have any appearance, so she always looked down on Mary who was liked by everyone because of her good manners and cuteness, so now that there is such an opportunity, of course she will not let go of the opportunity to mock. She even said nakedly that Mary was not going to perform any escort duties at all, but to warm the other party's bed......... No one can't hear that.

If Crowk hadn't intervened, I'm afraid the quarrel between the two would have continued, and now looking at each other's distant backs, Mary looked around with some complicated feelings, they were arguing in the hall, and many people heard them talking, but unlike before, this time those people didn't help her speak, and they didn't try to come up and persuade the two people to separate. This made Mary a little sad and disappointed, she thought that she was not wrong, and in fact she did not have a special relationship with the lord, why did her companion not believe in herself?

"Nothing, Mary, I understand your feelings. ”

Crowk's face was actually not very good-looking, because just before the old woman left, he left him with the sentence "You can only pick up other people's leftovers", which made Crowk very unhappy. But now he still didn't show it in front of Mary, although deep down he was like everyone else, and he didn't really believe that the lord would be a good person, but he and Mary were already special boyfriend and girlfriend after all, and Crocker felt that he should give her more trust.

"Don't take it personally, she's just jealous...... But you do have to pay attention, Mary......"

"I know that, but ...... Crowk, you've also done escort missions, and you should know that we should have been by their side if the other party asked for it. Because of my problem, the lord arranged for me to come back in the evening, but I didn't expect them to have such thoughts even so........."

Saying this, Mary couldn't help frowning.

"Don't think about it so much, the head of the regiment has something to do with you. ”

When Mary heard Crowk's words, she still had a trace of expectation in her heart, after all, the regimental commander had also been with them for a long time, and they had also learned from him how to deal with the work of mercenaries professionally, she believed that this time the regimental commander called her, it must have been to comfort her, after all, Mary knew that she had done nothing wrong, and she should not be treated like this.

"I know what you've been doing lately, Mary, mercenaries really have to prioritize completing their tasks, but they also have to consider the relationship within the group, I have to say that there is something wrong with what you're doing now.........

Mary's mood for the whole day was completely ruined.

This also directly caused the mercenary girl to be a little listless next to Shirley, she didn't expect that even the head of the regiment would not support her approach. This made Mary have to have some suspicions, although she also had a deep affection for this mercenary group, but now, with no one believing in herself, Mary also had to have some resentment. She even wanted to yell at the captain, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing!" But she also knew that if she did, it would be over.

But at the moment, Mary's situation is really uncomfortable for her, she thinks that she has a clear conscience, and whoever asks her can straighten up and answer "yes, I'm just on a mission", but everyone who hears her answer shrugs their shoulders and turns away with a "I understand" look, which makes Mary really disappointed. The girl originally naively thought that everyone was a companion who had fought together for many years, and the least trust was always necessary, but she didn't expect that such an ordinary task would actually arouse their suspicion and ridicule.

If it was just that, then Mary might not be so sad, but after all, she had also participated in the investigation of the refugee stirring before, and knew that it was more or less related to her mercenary group, of course, she didn't say anything to Yulian in order to protect the mercenary group, but looking at her current situation, the girl was really a little aggrieved - I have done so much for you, and you don't trust me so much.

If he was a resolute and experienced mercenary, then he might not be so aggrieved, and for the sake of the team, he would rather endure the misinterpretation of himself. But Mary is just a young girl after all, although she also chooses to be silent with a professional surname, but the unwillingness in her heart is not a lot at all, she is still young after all, and she is not as open as the old man. What's more, it's about her own dignity, she doesn't want to be seen as the kind of debauched woman by the people she has always protected.

Naturally, Shirley also noticed the change in Mary, and in fact when Mary was sent to be Shirley's escort, Her Royal Highness was still very happy, because she finally had a companion who could be by her side all day long. Although Faren also comes to chat with him from time to time, Faren is a member of the Mage Association after all, and she has to pay attention to her side most of the time, and Shirley also knows that she has her own affairs, so she can't be forced.

Well, now this mercenary girl is specially here to protect herself, that is, her personal playmate, which also makes Shirley very happy, you must know that whether it was when she was in Orrut before, or when she came to the twilight forest, no one will always be by her side, they all have their own things, although Shirley has always been very well-behaved and obedient, even if she is under house arrest, there are not too many complaints, but she is also a human after all, and hopes to be able to communicate more with others.

And the appearance of the mercenary girl at the moment naturally fills this vacancy. In fact, after returning from the Mana court, the two quickly became good friends who talked about everything.

For Her Royal Highness the princess, Mary also has a very good impression. Because Shirley herself is the kind of princess that would appear in a perfect fairy tale, beautiful, gentle, kind, and powerless weak woman...... Almost every girl has dreamed of being a princess, and now that Mary is not a princess, she is very happy to have such a dream so close to her. In addition, Shirley is very approachable and does not have the domineering appearance of a nobleman at all, so Mary did not hesitate to respond to her overtures quickly.

And now, looking at Mary's melancholy appearance, Shirley naturally asked curiously. Faced with her inquiry, Mary hesitated, but finally gave an answer.

However, it was clear that Shirley was clearly not very fond of this answer.

"How can they think that! Mr. Julien is a good man! He's not that kind of person, I know that very well, these companions of yours are excessive, Mary. I'm so sad for you, it's going to be painful for you......"

"Uh-huh........."

Finally met someone who could understand herself, and the mercenary girl was almost about to shout long live understanding, she nodded, but still didn't know what to say. At this moment, Shirley clapped her hands.

"Well, how about you just stay, and it's your duty to protect me, so that we can stay together forever and you don't have to go back and face those nasty things, how about it?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Mary was stunned.

In fact, Shirley's mind is very simple, or this princess doesn't have such complicated thoughts, she just thinks that since Mary is unhappy in the mercenary group, then she should not go back at all, and chat with herself, isn't it good?

If it had been before, then Mary would have only hesitated and would have refused the other party's request. But now that Shirley said this, she suddenly found that she had no way to refuse.

The reason is simple, because this princess is very sincere.

In fact, Shirley has a stunt that even You Lian didn't notice, that is, her brainwashing ability is very strong.

On the surface, this princess is very simple, kind, not very smart, and scheming, and there is nothing to worry about when interacting with her, which is an advantage. But on the other hand, that's what makes Shirley special. It is precisely because of her characteristics that many people will quickly accept what Shirley said, and rarely doubt it. It's like Farien, she didn't like Yuren very much before, but in the process of chatting with Shirley, she had to admit that she was also attracted to Yuren. And Mary is the same, she actually doesn't know much about Yuren, but the mercenary girl is also very simple, in her opinion, she is a little mercenary, and it is normal not to know about the nobles, but Princess Shirley is the princess of Orrut, she can't know anything about Yulian. Therefore, for Shirley's words, the mercenary girl accepted them all unconsciously, without any suspicion at all.

The power of brainwashing is very powerful.

And now, hearing Princess Shirley say this, Mary really began to hesitate, she also felt that since everyone in the group was not good to her now, then she would only be treated coldly when she went back, so she should not go back at all, she didn't want to see them anyway. Moreover, Princess Shirley is so good, and the lord is also a good person, so there shouldn't be anything bad. Besides, personal protection is meant to follow the target 24 hours a day, and a person like himself who leaves the target every night and goes back can't be considered a qualified mercenary at all.

"Okay, I'll prepare, Princess Shirley. ”

In the end, Mary made a decision.

Of course she knew what it would make others think, but now the girl didn't care anymore, they used to see the same thing when they came back every day, and now it doesn't make a difference even if she doesn't come back, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Mary didn't care about it anymore, and after nightfall, she said goodbye to Shirley, saying that she was going back to pack her things, and Shirley was also very happy to see her off, which also strengthened Mary's confidence -- the other party was obviously a princess, but he still sent a little mercenary out so warmly and kindly, which was really something that had never been thought of.

Perhaps because of the influence of the day's events, Mary did not choose to enter through the main entrance, because she knew very well that at this time, it was the members of the mercenary group who completed the task and came back to rest...... But now, all that had changed, and every time she returned, the lively scene immediately fell silent, and they looked at themselves as if they were strangers............ Mary shook her head, she didn't even want to think about it, although she was not too old, but she was not young, she really couldn't do it, and after this mission was over, she would always apply for a transfer back. Thinking of this, she sighed, and then walked to the back door of the Mercenary Guild.

Then Mary stopped, and she immediately turned and hid in the shadows. So at this moment, Mary saw a figure with a cloak on her body walking out of there.

This is the back door of the mercenary group, and you can know that the people here are all members of the mercenary group, but why haven't you seen him?

Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help frowning, and then, she subconsciously quietly approached a little. And the man did not leave immediately after walking out the door, but turned around and whispered something to the person inside.

"You want to judge her loyalty, and that's the best way to do it. ”

"I know what she's up to, and if you want to get there, it's a good opportunity. ”

The voice was low and hoarse, and Mary didn't know whose voice it was, but the other voice was all too familiar to her.

"I see, please pass it on, and we'll try to get it done. ”

Crowk.

Mary's heart twitched, she didn't know what the two were talking about, but her instinct felt that it seemed to be related to her.

When he had finished speaking, the man turned away, and Mary took the opportunity to poke her head out and look at the other.

For a split second, she could see the man's face clearly, which made Mary's eyes widen in surprise.

It was a face completely covered in a mask.

She knew who that person was.
