Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Journey
In the harsh winter, only a small number of ships anchored in the port of Anatoly. The only freshwater port near the imperial capital ushered in its most sluggish season of the year, and experienced captains did not dare to deliver supplies in this frozen river. Even those aristocrats who like to play on weekdays are reluctant to sail their luxury yachts at this time.
The heavy snow has covered the surface of the harbor with a thin layer of ice, and the water may be completely frozen in two days.
At 9:50 a.m., the Rhea sounded a long whistle in the harbor, making its final warm-up for its voyage.
In the elegant and restrained cabin, the thermostat keeps the temperature in late spring, insulating the cold outside. The Gemini sisters are now accompanying the two highnesses to enjoy the hot tea time after breakfast, discussing some fashionable topics among women.
The two Highnesses had a surprise visit last night, and after they explained why, Veronica couldn't even believe it. Who would have thought that they would want to visit Rhea Island and ask Sister Veronica to be their guides. Since you are ready to go, why did you all turn down when you were invited, is this the so-called reserve of the royal family?
Early this morning, they personally drove the maglev truck to welcome the two nobles to rest on the Rhea. Irina was about to send someone to receive Mochen, but was stopped by Flora. The reason is to wait for him to sleep a little longer! Irina couldn't help but feel a gossip soul rise in her heart, and secretly sighed that you and Mo Chen's relationship is really good. Seeing a hint of ambiguity flashing in Irina's eyes, Flora didn't explain too much. After all, if you say so, anyone will be rippling with some charming thoughts.
Flora, with a slightly tired look on her face, stopped discussing the topic she was talking about and leaned back lazily on the sofa. Picking up the hot teacup on the coffee table, listening to the whistle of the Rhea coming from his ears again, looking out the window at the lonely white world, his face inadvertently showing a bored expression.
"Now, Natalia. Did you say that idiot had overslept on the ship? Why didn't he board the ship so late? Besides, did he know where the harbor was?"
A smile flashed in Natalia's burgundy eyes, "Just to prevent him from oversleeping, I asked Margaret to pick him up in person early in the morning." ”
"What kind of expression do you think the idiot will show when he sees us on the boat?" Placing the teacup in her hand lightly on the coffee table, Flora stacked her slender legs, her slender hands held her perfect chin, and a seductive smile floated on the corner of her mouth.
The twin flower sisters glanced at each other and secretly said to each other, it turns out that you just went to Rhea Island to surprise Mo Chen?! These thoughts of the nobles are really incomprehensible!
Perhaps the tiredness of getting up in the morning has not yet faded, and the two Royal Highnesses close their eyes in the warm and quiet cabin, as if they are resting. Veronica quietly motioned to her sister with her eyes to go outside to observe the situation, while she stayed with the two crown princes.
Knowing what Veronica meant, Irina stood up and quietly walked to the door of the cabin, gently opened the hatch and withdrew.
She knew that her personality was more introverted and shy, and Irina would rather be an intermediate person than talk to people aimlessly. Leave this kind of thing to talk to others, just leave it to your sister Veronica!
Irina stood on the deck of the Rhea, looking at the situation in the direction of the imperial capital through the heavy snow, and her luxurious snow-white tight-fitting coat wrapped her graceful curves, like poppies blooming on the snow of the Far North.
It's past the time to set off, and the brunette kid hasn't been seen yet. Could it be that he overslept as the two highnesses inside said?
When she raised her head for the third time, a wave of snow suddenly broke off on the Empire's road to the port of Anatoly, and there seemed to be a faint sound of breaking through the air. Moments later, the snow waves and the sound of rapid brakes stopped not far from the harbor. The initiator of the snow wave turned out to be a blue maglev truck, and the driver drove it out of the snow to the sea sailboat.
The car door was kicked open, and such a sharp appearance made Irina feel a compelling momentum. Margaret, who appeared on the stage, stepped on a pair of black high-heeled boots, her beautiful legs had already stepped into the snow, she threw the sunglasses on her face in the car with one hand, and carried some unknown organism in the other hand, and quickly walked towards the Rhea.
When Irina was still shocked by such a different way of appearance, Margaret had already stepped onto the deck in 5 cm high-heeled boots, smiled at Irina who had not yet come to her senses, and strode to the cabin with the unknown creature in her hand. That's when Irina saw what the creature in her hand was...... It was a human with a swarthy head, a pair of black dead fish eyes, a red face mixed with fright and dementia, two frozen snots hanging from the nostrils, and thick light gray cotton pajamas.
This is what Mo Chen looks like at this time, a lewd and sloppy young man who is carried by a beautiful woman!
The dull whistle sounded again not long after Mo Chen was lifted onto the Rhea. Powered by powerful steam, the hard bow easily cut through the thin layer of ice and sailed to its destination with the sound of the ice cracking.
The warm temperature in the cabin made Mo Chen, who had been frozen, come back to his senses for a while. recalled that after Margaret rescued herself like a carrot, when he was still trembling, she carried Mo Chen into the blue maglev car. The rushing car streaked through an afterimage, causing the driver to let out a burst of excited shouts, and the people in the passenger seat also screamed loudly. Mo Chen dared to swear that this woman must have wanted to get the favor of death, and he seemed to have seen the man in black with a black scythe around him.
When his eyes regained their long-lost focus, Mo Chen found himself slumped on the ground like a pile of mud, wearing half-soaked pajamas, like a snot kid noisily seeking a toy without success.
"Hey, scrap wood, have you come to your senses?" Flora sipped black tea elegantly, squinting at Mo Chen, who was squatting on the board, with a witty smile on her pretty face that could not be concealed.
"......" Mo Chen wiped his snot with his cuffs and looked around. "Where is this? I remember as if I was supposed to go to Rhea Island. ”
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Irina on the side said timidly: "Now we are on our way to Rhea Island, Mo Chen's classmate ......"
He turned his head to look at Irina with pure and grateful eyes, and answered in a low voice. "Oh!" As if frightened by Mo Chen's stupidity, Irina immediately hid behind her sister and looked at her suspicious-looking man with vigilant eyes, for fear that he would jump up from the ground in the next moment and transform directly from a human into a beast.
Margaret walked over and patted her on the shoulder, telling her not to worry. If this thing dares to have that kind of dirty mind, then he will definitely be punished by his iron fist of justice!
"......" Irina's defensive appearance made Mo Chen feel very hurt. Am I just grateful for your reply and a little more look at you? Do you look at me with such a defensive beast eye, though you are indeed beautiful......
Getting up from the board, Mo Chen drooped his hairy head, and didn't know what to say or do. A sudden thought occurred to him in his heart, maybe he shouldn't go to that Rhea Island, this cold weather is the best choice to nest in his bed...... Otherwise, there would not be such a stupid situation as it is now. Grabbing his hair, he consciously stood in a corner and looked at his palms.
"Aren't you surprised to see us?" Unexpectedly, Mo Chen was not surprised at all when he saw them here, but calmly spread out his palm and counted his palm prints, and Flora was very surprised when she leaned her head.
Mo Chen said in his heart, who has the leisure to take care of your group of eight women. The legs are long on you, and where you yearn to go is not in your way. Do you have to make me look like a young mentally handicapped patient, with a crystal of saliva flowing from the corners of my mouth and exclaiming, "Ah! why are you here?" Ignoring Flora's surprise, he still looked at his palm prints, a statue of me, please ignore me.
In fact, what he didn't know was that before he wiped off his snot just now, he was indeed the same as a mentally retarded patient with cerebral palsy.
Unexpectedly, he was ignored by Mo Chen, and Flora was not angry, still smiling and drinking the hot tea in her hand. Veronica, who was born as a master, felt a little uncomfortable. "Mochen, your clothes are already soaked, why don't you go to the room we prepared for you first to change your clothes, do you think this is okay?"
"Well, okay! Thank you. "Although I don't really want to go, I can't resist the host's hospitality and the feeling of being cold. After thanking Veronica for her kindness, he was led by a middle-aged maid to the cabin bedroom on the second floor.
It has to be said that Veronica was careful in her observations. Mo Chen took a hot bath, wore a dry and comfortable men's robe, and when he opened the door and was about to go to the first cabin, the middle-aged maid who had led the way by Mo Chen had already pushed the dining cart and was waiting outside the door. "Miss Veronica has instructed that it is not too late to invite your distinguished guests to breakfast before going out. Hearing this, Mo Chen's stomach honked twice consciously, reminding someone who was careless that he hadn't eaten breakfast. Mo Chen laughed awkwardly when he heard the screams in his stomach.
After the maid pushed the dining cart into the room, she bowed to Mo Chen, and before Mo Chen could say thank you, the maid turned around and closed the door lightly and left.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the dining car, he threw away all his previous unhappiness and hid in the room to concentrate on enjoying his own food.
The full stomach had just been filled with hunger, and the ignorant head was greeted with a strong sense of sleep. Since it's your own time, you're going to be teased by that group of people anyway, so it's better to hide here and sleep comfortably.
With this thought, Mo Chen fell asleep, and this time his sleepiness seemed to be more fierce and deep than ever.
Not long after Mo Chen fell asleep, the door was pushed open again. The middle-aged maid slowed down her pace and walked to the bed, and the quilt was gently covered by Mo Chen. Pushing the dining cart, he quickly left Mo Chen's room.
"Have you collected it?" a cold voice came from the microphone in the middle-aged maid's ear, "haven't you been found!"
"Miss Hui, the blood has been collected. The subject is still asleep and has not noticed my movements. ”
"That's good! when the ship reaches the Star Ocean, you get out of here and get back to the island early!"
"Understood!" The middle-aged maid gently opened her right hand, and a miniature blood collection device appeared in the palm of her hand. The bright red blood reflected a strange red under the glass material.
