Chapter 324: Duke Maguire
"Hehe, I don't know you yet, little tiger!"
I ran my fingers at Yani's chin and rubbed my face against it.
"Hmph, that's not the case!" Yani quickly dodged and puffed out her mouth.
Hikari smiled and said, "Hehe, you two are really interesting, Yani has been sleeping alone for the past few days, and it is inevitable that she will feel lonely, Randy, you should spend more time with her!"
I grabbed her hand and said gently, "No, I want to accompany you, we are about to get married, and you are injured again, I will give you a warm bed at night!"
"What a pervert!" Hikari leaned over and said over my shoulder.
After spending the afternoon in the hospital, Yani had already gone out for activities, and I stayed by the bedside to accompany Shikali.
She fell asleep and woke up with her hand up to touch my face.
"Randy?" Shikari called softly.
"Here, Shikari!" I said as I stroked the back of her hand.
"Shikali, do you want a hand ornament?" I asked.
"What, you want to give it to me, or rather, you buy it now?" Shikari asked.
I nodded and said to her, "Yes, I want to send you, I went to the gambling stone field during the day, and gambled on a fine white star crystal, and I plan to find someone to polish it into a beautiful diamond ring to use as a wedding ring for you!"
Hikari smiled and said, "Leave it to Yani, she needs it very much, by the way, buy her a few necklaces, earrings and whatever, girls like this, she can see it."
I felt a touch of sadness, caressed her cheek, looked into her bandaged eyes, and said, "Don't worry, Shikali, I'll find someone to heal your eyes, this world can do so many things with magic, even more than you can imagine!"
"Don't worry about it, Randy, I just hope you're okay, my eyes...... Actually, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, and I know that it's probably not going to get better, and the therapist said that my eyeballs are gone, how can I be cured?"
"It's just that I can no longer see your face, nor can I see Shikali's face, nor can I see Mom and Dad's face, I ...... Woo, I don't want that, Woo, Randy!"
As she spoke, Hikari suddenly let out a cry and her nose was red.
I hugged her and comforted her, "It's all right, Shikali, even if I run to the ends of the earth, I will find a cure for your eyes, trust me!"
"Uh-huh......" Shikari sniffed and nodded slightly.
She is always so gentle, but a little stubborn, she does not learn to think about her own things, but cares about others vigorously.
Gentle people are not just gentle with themselves, and Shikari is like that.
Although I would like to have her tenderness and let her care only about me, it is impossible.
I will not fail her, I will take care of her and give her the best I can give, even if it is my life!
After we had dinner, I chose to stay in the ward and sleep with Shikari.
Although the bed was not too big and even a little cramped, Shikari took my arm around me and quickly fell asleep, making a faint snort.
After three days, Mia decided to set off and lobby.
I arranged for Yani and told her to take care of Hikari and prepare to leave with Mia and the others.
In the hospital room, Yani brought the Rottweiler from Hikari's house to visit him.
She gave me a firm look, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Randy, Xiao Cha and I will definitely take care of Shikari!"
"Xiao Cha, that dog is called Xiao Cha...... Wait, why are you patting my chest instead of your own?" I asked.
Yani stuck out her tongue and pushed me out of the room, "Okay, okay, you go quickly, quickly find the divine doctor and come back to heal Shikali, we are waiting for you!"
"Uh-huh, got it, my little beauty!"
I kissed her on the cheek, and it made her blush.
Leaving the infirmary, I stepped into the convoy.
This time, I was the only one in the carriage
people, the next trip will be a little lonely.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
The taming ball in his arms moved.
The same goes for the Frost Dragon Sword beside him.
Storm and Jenata appeared next to me and sat on both of my laps.
I looked at them with a smile, touched their little heads and said, "Then you two little ones will accompany me, right?"
The road to the main city is relatively long, and in the middle of the year, it is still in time for the change of seasons, and the sun overhead is very hot, and the time has entered summer.
I shrank my head out of the window, and after half a month, I finally came to the main city.
Outside the window, there was a wide moat, and I saw a flock of ducks swimming on it, and a few children playing on the bank.
The carriage got onto the drawbridge and drove smoothly into the main city.
Soon, there was a cacophony outside.
Rows of tall buildings come into view, followed by crowds of people walking around the streets and alleys, which can be described as a sea of people and bustling.
The prosperity of this place is second only to the royal city I have seen, and it is worthy of being the main city of an entire territory, gathering the deepest resources and a huge population.
After walking for a long time, the convoy finally arrived at its destination.
To be honest, I'm a little unhappy.
Even when I arrived in the most prosperous main city, I was not happy at all.
Why?
Because, the whole process of Mia's convoy walked over, and no one came to greet him when he entered the city.
After getting out of the car and arriving at the Duke's Palace, two decent servants came out to greet them.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Duke is waiting for you, please come with us, besides, it's better for these attendants to stay outside, you only need to bring a personal guard!" A servant bent down and said.
I was very upset, and stood beside Mia and whispered, "This duke is so big, he didn't even come out to greet us!"
Mia shook her head slightly and said to me, "Don't worry about this, Duke Maguire is from the eldest sister's side, and he hasn't had any contact with me, and he hasn't turned me away, which is enough to give me face!"
"But Your Highness, this is too ......."
"Shall we go in, Randy?"
I was about to complain, but Mia cut me off.
I was silent, nodded and followed her into the Duke's Palace.
Mia's legs were slightly better enough to walk on crutches, and I held her up as I watched the Duke's Palace.
The Duke's Palace is very luxurious, but it is much inferior to the Royal Palace, and the courtyard is very large.
Mia and I walked around for a full ten minutes before we made it down the hall.
Inside the hall, next to the throne above, stood a red-haired man.
He must have been the Duke of Maguire, much younger than I had imagined, and very handsome.
He looked at Mia, smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to gesture, "Please be seated, Your Highness Princess!"
On the left and right were guards with swords, all wearing armor and moving like mountains.
Mia nodded slightly, bowed, and sat down with my support, while I stood on the side.
Wait a minute...... The princess actually gave a gift to the duke?
This is a bit outrageous, it seems that this duke is not small, or is Mia's status relatively low?
"Hehe, Princess Mia, I really feel honored that you have traveled thousands of miles to come to my place!"
Duke Maguire sat down and straightened out his white aristocratic gown.
Mia smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Maguire has gone a little too far, it's only been a nearly month's journey, and I don't feel that it's the contrary, I'm glad to be able to chat with such a handsome minister as you."
"Hahaha, Your Highness is really good at complimenting, I'm so happy." Maguire laughed.
Mia said, "You are the youngest duke appointed by your father, and you have great power and control over an entire territory, presumably
You must have something special about you and deserve my respect.
I'm here, in addition to completing the assessment tasks assigned to me by my father, I still want to be friends with you, and I will have a lot of exchanges in the future!"
Maguire shook his head slightly and said, "Your Highness thinks too highly of me, I don't have many advantages, it's just that Your Majesty likes me more.
I am a person close to Your Majesty, so I should always pay attention to my identity and think more about Your Majesty!"
After saying this, I observed that Mia's face changed slightly, presumably what is the deep meaning of Maguire's words?
Mia opened her mouth and said, "I know this, you and I have different identities, if you get too close to me, you will inevitably be suspected by my father, but Mr. Maguire don't worry, I am here just to prove my sincerity, and by the way, I can help you, hoping to win your personal favor."
"Huh, favor? I already owe Her Highness Diana a favor, oh no...... I owe it right away, and I don't want to owe anyone else any favors!" Maguire smiled and shook his head again.
Mia looked very shocked, stood up and said, "What, second sister, she has ......."
"That's right, you're late, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess has been here for a week, and she has had a good chat with me!"
"For your left leg, I regret it, after all, it is a matter in my territory, I will personally write a letter to Your Majesty and explain the matter to him, and whether you will be punished or not depends on Your Majesty's mood."
Maguire pointed to Mia's injured left leg and crossed Erlang's leg with a calm expression.
I helped Mia to sit still, and said dissatisfiedly, "Duke Maguire, is your attitude a little unreasonable?"
"Oh, my attitude? This must be the magician who is causing trouble in my territory, Mia's personal bodyguard, Randy!" Maguire looked at me playfully.
I narrowed my eyes and said, "You know me a lot, huh?"
Maguire said: "I have always been more protective, so my own people have been bullied, I am very unhappy, Your Highness should not be surprised, if you connive at your subordinates, the matter of indiscriminate killing in my territory is known by Your Majesty, he will not blame me, I can promise!"
After saying that, his gaze became serious, his brow furrowed deeply, and he stared at Mia.
