17. Running horses in the middle of the night

That night, after enjoying dinner noisily, even if there were so many questions about Perry, the "man that my sister brought home", the children who were tired of playing still obediently returned to their rooms one by one to sleep. However, in just this moment, Perry was already loved by all the children, and even finally he hugged the youngest baby and made her laugh for a while.

This is also the result that can be expected, after all, a big brother with a warm smile, who doesn't pick and choose, and doesn't look "scary" at all, no one will hate it. After chatting for a while and confirming tomorrow's itinerary, Alice hurriedly leaned back on the bed to rest.

In Charty's room, the swords in the corner of the wall and the flowers by the window looked so out of place that it was hard to tell if it was a woman's or a man's room. It's like...... Like Charty, who wears armor and helmets, no one can see her true identity.

Charty, who refused to let Alice hit the floor anyway, immediately lay down on the floor after forcefully pushing Alice back to the bed, and not long after blowing out the candlelight, Alice heard a slightly heavy gasp from Charty as she fell asleep. However, she can really sleep, obviously she has been lying on the bridge for an afternoon of rest during the day, and she actually snores again so quickly at night.

"Charty?"

"Hmm...... Well...... Uh-huh......"

Her eyes didn't close at all, and Alice, who didn't feel sleepy, called out Charty's name softly, and the moonlight shone on Charty's body through the window, and she was breathing very evenly, and she only reacted slightly when she was shouted, but soon there was a comfortable snoring sound behind her. At least...... She didn't look like she was going to wake up for a while.

This "calm" state also relieved Alice, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning like a monkey, and from the beginning she had considered the possibility of being forcibly stuffed into the bed to rest, so all the preparations that should be made were already ready when Charty washed the dishes.

"So. Put on your clothes first. ”

She crept to her feet, and although the bed made a creaking sound, it was not enough to do any harm to the sleeping Charty, and this time she even kept her snoring so steady.

The clothes were neatly folded by Alice and placed under the bed, although this will inevitably stain a little dust, but for the next "night walk". This little bit of difficulty can still be endured. Yes, when she heard the news that Aesop had strangely chosen not to rest on the spot, but had rushed to the next town overnight, Alice couldn't help but think of something that she couldn't usually think about when she wanted to break her head.

When Charty talks about the orphans who were abandoned because of some unspeakable things between the nobles, Perry's expression suddenly became very gloomy, and it was easy to know that Perry must have been angry at that time, and the reason why he planned to give Charty a little money to let her lead the way...... I'm afraid there's only one. Angry princes are probably ready to teach the nobles who are indeed very hateful to teach them a lesson.

At that time, it must have been not only himself and Charty who noticed Perry's abnormality, but White, who was familiar with Perry, and Aesop, who must have been very sharp, must have also seen Perry's anger. Naturally, White didn't complain about Perry's ideas. But Aesop's words......

This guy who obtained the position of nobility by doing business must have certain connections with merchants, nobles, and wealthy people in various cities, and may have always had friendly relations in trade. And such an Aesop will rush to the next city overnight without even eating dinner this night, maybe he really plans to "ventilate" those nobles who have done something wrong, and exchange it for some benefits by the way.

If Perry goes to pounce tomorrow, he still has the task of searching for orcs, and he must have no choice but to continue to hurry, and no longer pursue it. It's just a hypothesis, but ...... Even so it can't be ignored. If it's your own, forget it. But since White is also willing to go after Aesop together, there is no reason to hide it anymore.

After a rustling sound. Although a little flustered, Alice still put on her clothes, and after carefully taking the pillow to make a "sleeping self", Alice carefully stepped on the only little gap in the ground to the window.

"Hey, White!"

After confirming once again that Charty was still snoring, Alice, who had opened the window, whispered out the window. Charty was lucky not to have a dog at home.

There was silence for a moment, but soon there was movement by the window.

“...... Ready?" White's head poked out from under the window. Almost scared Alice to sit on the ground, "I guess no one else found out." ”

"Of course not. Alice glanced at Charty, "But on your side, the prince didn't notice anything, did he?"

"I used a bit of a trick, and Perry should be sleeping soundly by now. ”

White gave a wicked smile. But this guy is also like a guy who uses "means" against Perry.

As the fuse of the matter, Perry naturally couldn't follow, otherwise he always felt that the scene would get out of control immediately, so Alice only contacted White tonight, considering Charty's big personality, this "knight" was also tragically abandoned.

"Anyway, give me your hand first, then jump down carefully, and I'll pick you up. ”

White grabbed Alice's arm as he spoke, watching Alice clumsily flip over the window, and then hold her firmly the moment she landed on the ground.

Softly closed the window, and until this moment the action was quite secretive. The biggest "enemy" Perry was also "put down" by White, Charty was still snoring, and the group of imps were probably dreaming early, as long as they didn't make any big noise, they went out secretly like this, and came back at dawn to find an excuse to completely cover up today's action.

"How do we get there?"

"I had already tethered my horse not far away, but I had to sit on it because the carriage was definitely not good. ”

White said and pointed out the courtyard, where there was indeed a horse tethered under a tree in the bright moonlight, "No problem...... Miss Alice? Don't tell Perry, right?"

"No! no, I'm not in that relationship with him!"

"Yes, yes, it's quieter. White hurriedly gagged Alice, "Anyway, that guy Aesop has been gone for a long time, even if we ride horses, we have to hurry, if we don't stop him before he enters the city, things will get very troublesome." (To be continued.) )
