18. The king's preference
Walking at night, and riding a horse, is a big burden for both people and horses, and the bumpy journey will fall off the horse if you are not careful, but you have to speed up in order to find the traces of Aesop as soon as possible.
If you step on some stone and fall off your horse, the injury will be small, and tonight's actions will be exposed. So White was very cautious, at least completely devoid of the usual feeling that she would inevitably call a "sissy" in Charty's mouth.
Of course, sitting on the back of a galloping horse will definitely feel very bumpy, and the whole body is trembling because of the ups and downs, as if even the heart, liver and spleen are about to be turned upside down. Just as Alice was almost thrown off by the "naughty" pony because she didn't hold it steady, White suddenly tightened the reins.
"It's okay, I feel like you're a little uncomfortable. ”
Compared to Alice, White seemed much more relaxed, and he must have been trained to ride a horse as "walking", and at the moment he only had the anxiety of wanting to catch up with Aesop immediately.
"It's a bit upside down, so leave me alone. ”
Alice shook her head, although the dizziness caused by the fatigue of staying up late and the jolting on the horse did not completely subside because of the slowdown, "How far is it?"
"It's not far away, and you can already see the outline. White turned around, "I'm sorry, there's no better way." ”
"Nothing, I'm more worried about how we're going to get into town if we don't find Aesop along the way. Or do you need to continue to go into the city to look for it. ”
"Don't worry about going into the city, although it's a low-key trip, but I still have the necessary things with me. ”
White tightened the reins as he spoke. "So. Miss Alice endured it a little longer. Of course...... Don't go to ......"
"It's not that kind of relationship!"
Maybe it's because White is talking from time to time, this time Alice didn't almost vomit out all her internal organs as before, although the sore whole body is still so unbearable, but White's "death" from time to time has attracted her attention.
"Didn't you think about it at all? As far as I know, the families who want to marry Periti are already able to form a long line. Among them, there are some girls who are really good, and there are many who have good conditions. ”
"I'm not that kind of person anymore. ”
Sighing, Alice tugged at the back of White's dress tightly to prevent it from falling. Thankfully, the moon was bright tonight, and there were no surprises along the way. Bear with me a little longer, and you'll be able to get to the city gate.
"Of course. If it was really for the crown, I would have told Perry from the beginning. ”
It was only at this time that White showed a "heroic spirit" that was not in line with his usual state: "Although Perry and I are courtiers and monarchs, we have practiced together since childhood, and I don't want to see him coaxed by a guy who is only interested in power." He's so innocent in his feelings, and luckily so far, I haven't found a woman who fits his liking perfectly. ”
...... Perry, it turns out that it's really not that he has zero emotional intelligence, but he just hasn't met the opposite sex who really makes him tempted? This is not information that can be brought in a hurry.
"Hey!?...... He, that...... What kind of opposite sex is he interested in?"
"You have this 'Perry actually likes women' attitude. It's rude to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Sighing, White slowed down slightly, the gates of the next city were clearly visible, and if he still kept galloping, he might be taken for something suspicious.
"I grew up with Perry, and I still know a lot about what kind of opposite sex he likes. Haven't you noticed Miss Alice? Although it is difficult to see, Perry's attitude these days is obviously abnormal. ”
Indeed, I have to say that Perry was obviously not in the right state after communicating with Charty for a while. If as a superior person, it is his responsibility to take the rights that the weak have to have, then Perry's responsibility to Charty is really too much. The anger that Perry showed this evening can be fully explained by the anger of Chong Guan.
"Do you mean...... What Perry likes is ......"
"No, there is such a thing as appearance, if Perry really had a specific preference, someone would have 'won the lottery' a long time ago. Perry is more ...... Deep quality bar. White shook his head, "I should say...... Is it the kind of person who is strong but waiting for help? I can probably see a little bit of that feeling in the man's wife. ......Shh That soul fades. ”
White obviously still has a very "deep" prejudice against Charty, but I have to say that Perry's attitude towards Charty is indeed unusual. Strong but waiting for help? But do strong people still need help from others?
Something is difficult to understand, but what is certain is...... Perry's treatment of Miradoro was not as emotional as it is today. To put it mildly, it's all about the friendly attitude shown when facing a 'classmate'. Miradoro ...... Suddenly, there was a little sympathy for this foreign princess.
"So, Miss Alice, it's too late for a change? I'm not telling anyone this secret. ”
"We're not in that relationship!"
"Okay, okay, let it be like this. ”
White said as he rolled over and dismounted, then gestured to stop Alice. White, who was leading the horse, clenched his sword and walked slowly to the city gate.
At midnight, in order to prevent some unnecessary hidden dangers, the city gates are naturally closed. The surrounding moat blocked all other ways to enter the city, and it can be said that the only way to enter the city was to take one of the two gates.
Naturally, it was unlikely that Isolt would walk around the city to get to another one, he didn't have the physical strength to do so...... I won't be alert to that point. So since there was no shadow of Aesop along the way, it only means that he had already entered the city early?
Looks like we're going to have to pick up the pace, at least before this guy does something out of the ordinary......
"What people!"
Soon, as White approached the gates, torches shone on the tower, and at the same time seemed to hide the harsh friction of the bowstring being taut. It's really a heavily guarded city, although ...... At this time, I don't know whether I should be relieved or helpless.
Then the only thing left is to pin everything on White. This knight, who is usually casual and like a playboy, is ...... at this time It's time to get serious. (To be continued.) )
