It was only a momentary eye contact that Alice understood what White wanted to do next, after all, in this position, it was very clear what she should do and what she could do. White's "play" is enough, and the rest depends on his own efforts.

This is not a "play" that can be reversed, or there is any room for compromise, once the identity is revealed, with the temperament of these knights who are still kneeling, they always feel that even Perry's identity cannot protect their own safety and his safety, and the rigid knight hates deception very much, and White is just one of the special cases and freaks.

However, it's really difficult, and the temperament and figure are estimated to be completely substandard to forcibly play a "princess" by yourself. Let's take it one step at a time.

"Do as he says. ”

Alice tries her best to show "maturity" and "calmness", in the general understanding of this should be the idea of "princess", yes, after all, the kind of unreasonable and unreasonable "princess" only exists in the apocryphal literature of bards, and if a prince really marries such a rude princess, it is tantamount to discrediting his own bloodline.

The rows of knights in front of them are kneeling very religiously, which is also their deep-rooted concept, after all, to be able to become a knight in charge, the loyalty to the "monarch" must be studied carefully and engraved in the mind. Of course, if they found out that such piety had been deceived, then they would probably tear up the fake princess in front of them.

Resisting the pressure slightly, Alice pretended to cough lightly twice, and whispered to the knights, who were kneeling respectfully but secretly glancing at themselves, "Also, you guys get up." ”

"Yes!"

Now the knights stood up in unison. Although White's status is higher than theirs, it is only a comparison between knights after all, and it can't convince everyone, but if it is a character who is not in the same dimension as the knights at all, or is completely at the "top", then it is no longer a question of whether to be convinced or not. Rather, it must be obeyed.

In other words, White is now ...... It's basically useless, and the objects of these knights' orders have changed from "more advanced knights" to "princesses".

"It's business as usual, but ...... I need a knight who knows what's going on in the city to answer my questions. ”

"This, this, this...... Let the lowly come here, the lowly is the captain here!"

I don't know if I was really frightened by the "calm and elegant" that Alice pretended, and the knight captain, who was a little overwhelmed before, simply stammered this time.

"Then please, ah...... The horse under the city was guarded by one man, and he could not be let go at the moment. ”

"Yes, yes!"

After a moment of dancing and gesturing. The young knight finally remembered what he had to do, "Go on your vigil! Go down and watch the princess's horse alone! If you dare to doze off and have a good look, take the fodder by the way!"

Good command, although there was a brief confusion because of surprise, but in normal times, this team of knights defending the city should be considered a very "dedicated" type. But it's because of this that it becomes even stranger where Aesop is. After all, although Aesop can be regarded as a nobleman, he ...... He certainly couldn't get the knight to treat the "princess" with the same attitude he had now.

The young knight, who had done all this, turned around and once again fell to one knee on the ground, unlike the previous "meeting etiquette". This time it was in response to the princess's question, and serious knights were often a little too rigid in these places.

“...... Take it easy. ”

"Humility. Humble as much as possible. ”

It seems that it's not just rigid, it's all rigid and cute.

"I ask you, when does this gate usually close?" and after a moment's silence, Alice asked, "Also." How many ways are there to get out of town?"

"Although there may be a slight delay in the time, the gates are closed three hours after the sun has completely set. There are two gates to get out of the city, but they are closed at a fixed time. ”

After a pause, the young knight replied, "On the other side is a brother whom he trusts very much. Therefore, lowly office can be guaranteed. ”

"I'm not suspicious of you, but...... Are there only two ways to get into town?"

"Yes, if the gates are closed, there is no second way to enter the city other than the soft ladder. The surrounding walls are guarded by personnel, and ...... There are no conditions to 'climb' in those places. ”

“......”

If you calculate the time a little, it can be clear that the time when Isolt left is almost the time to close the city gate, and it took a while to come here from Charti's house even if it was a horseback, unless Isolt could teleport, otherwise it would be completely impossible to enter the city gate when he arrived here. The knights were confident that no one would be able to "climb" through the walls of the city elsewhere, and Aesop didn't look like someone who would do such a "dirty" thing, either in terms of his body, character, or preparation.

Well, it's a little weird, I didn't see Aesop all the way, and he's not the kind of guy who gives up easily, but ...... Where is he?

"Did anyone pass through here in the time before I came?"

Taking a deep breath, Alice stared at the young knight's eyes, although it was unlikely that the other party would be "accommodating", she couldn't let go of this slight possibility.

"I hope you don't lie. ”

As if he had received some order, White, who understood it, "made up for it", and he quickly drew his sword, invisibly threatening the unlucky guy in front of him.

If...... If you really want to be bribed with a little money, you won't have the courage to continue to hold on at such a time. After all, a businessman is still too far away from the "princess".

"No, no one!"

Of course, the young knight was naturally frightened, but he still reacted quickly, "Absolutely no one has passed through here!

Not lying, this guy doesn't look like a liar. That...... There's only one possibility!

"Authentic ......"

"Your Excellency. Just as Alice was remorseful at the last possible she had thought of, White whispered in her ear. Of course...... This is also helpless, after all, he can't shout loudly at the "princess" when he needs to act now.

"That kind of thing, it's too late to look for it. As long as the aftermath is taken care of, that method is feasible. ”

“...... Well, thanks. ”

Alice took a deep breath, and the words of sending a large army to find Aesop were too eye-catching, and it would not be easy to deal with if there was an oolong. The best thing to do now is to ......

"You're familiar with the city, so I'll entrust it to someone else for the time being, come with me. (To be continued.) )
