Chapter 169: A Voyage of Hope

Queen Isabel is not the only one who thinks this way.

It was late when the dwarven captain Rodkin had prepared for the Liberty airship, as well as the naval fleet of the War Secretary Halbert and the Praetorian Guard of Aven.

Linya, who was so tired that she couldn't do it, could finally rest. Namia carried the cleanly washed little princess to the large round soft bed, covered it with a silky quilt, and then got in.

"Whew, I'm so tired!Ah, I'm going to sleep! There's a lot to do tomorrow!Sister Namiya, hug me!"

"Alright, alright, here I am, my dear little darling. Namia grinned and leaned over and took Linya into her arms like a rag doll.

"Princess, are you going to take this opportunity to run out to play again?" The next morning, when Linya finally woke up, Namiya, who had endured all night, finally couldn't help but ask quietly.

"What! I knew you all thought that, didn't I?" Linya's eyes widened, "Hmph, you all still treat me like a child, but I've grown up!

"Oh, is it true? So I wonder how old our sweet little princess is?

"You, what are you going to do...... No, you can't...... Ah......h

"Mmmm, it looks like I've really grown up!"

"Namia......'s big badass! Let go...... Don't ......"

The two frolicked for a while, and Namia let go of the little princess, who was panting and blushing. Linya sat up, pouting, and grimacing.

"Namia is so bad!"

"Hey, hey. ”

"Hmph, I'm angry!" Linya protested with a wave of her small fist and a vigorous swing of her head.

"Oh, how will our dear little princess punish the abominable Namia?" said Namia with her head shrunk pitifully.

"Punishment is ...... Let me kiss you, not you kiss me...... Don't resist! Also, I should be holding you!"

"Okay, okay, then let's punish Namia like that!"

"Hmm. That's pretty much it...... But before Linya could finish her sentence happily, Namia threw herself on the soft bed.

"Hmm...... Not...... It's not scientific...... It shouldn't be like this......"

When the two were having fun in bed, Susanna, who was guarding the door, shook her head with a wry smile, knocked on the door and said, "Princess, it's not too early, it's time to get up." His Majesty the Herman Emperor is still waiting to talk to you!"

Father, I found out so quickly.

In the hall of the Cohen family's magic palace, Linya stood in the magic circle and saw her father's face that was still a little haggard for state affairs. "Father. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Linya. It's you. My child, I really don't feel at ease!"

"I'll take care of myself! Look, I'm fine. Did the queen tell you all about the vampire?"

"Yes, I know that. Don't blame my father for being too talkative, but I'll still say, Linya, don't be too willful. You're really too young to understand too much. ”

"I know, I'll be careful. I can't live under my father's wing for the rest of my life!"

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will no longer hinder you. But you still have to promise me. Listen more to the people around you, don't be impulsive, think calmly in advance, and don't take risks lightly, can you do this?"

The father is not worse than the queen mother. Linya secretly smiled bitterly in her heart. But these words are full of love, happiness and helplessness.

"I see, Father, don't worry. ”

"Also, Jerich's fleet has already departed from Lane, and it may be two days before it reaches Cohen. If you're going out, you'd better wait two more days. ”

"Then you don't have to. However, Jerich came just in time, and I also made Aven prepare for the departure of the Praetorian Guard, and let them go directly to Luyun first. When the matter of the pirates and the blood clan here is over, I will also go to Lu Yuncheng in person. ”

"You're going to go yourself? There's no need for that. Lu Yuncheng can fight at any time and turn it into a battlefield, and it is not safe for you to go there! ”

"I have to go. We must clearly state the position of the Red Leaf Empire in this civil war of the Caiyun Empire, and it will be more powerful in my capacity. If those neutral lords can see clearly and stand on Sister Alice's side, our side will be stronger and have a greater impact on the situation. Father, although you and I have different intentions in this matter, at least in the current form, our purpose is the same, isn't it?"

"Alas...... Well, I can't talk about you. Linya, I really shouldn't have let you out of Leia. ”

What, hmph, I don't want to be the canary in your cage!" Linya muttered to herself.

On November 8, 4123 A.D., the royal naval port of the Kingdom of Sachnea. A total of three ships of the round-the-world voyage fleet, consisting of the battleship Swordfish and two transports, are moored at the dock, making final preparations for the unknown journey ahead.

Although colorful flags were hung on the wharf, offering the blessing of the two hundred warriors on the ship, the atmosphere on the wharf was exceptionally deserted, and the people who came to see them off on the shore were selfless. It was a secret trip, and not even the soldiers on board could understand and understand the true purpose of the mission.

The titular supreme commander of the fleet, Viscount Kazra, was of course extremely excited at the moment. Yes, the title of viscount canonized by Crown Prince Princess Linya, although it is still only a fictitious title without any fiefdom of property. Having completed the preparation for the trip so quickly, how can the dream that is about to be realized calm down. The experience of this month was like a dream for him, from the death line to the beginning of his dream, the encounters in life were like heaven and hell, and until now, he still finds it difficult to believe that this qiē is a fact.

However, on the contrary, the actual commander of this small fleet, Commodore Viscount Cledor of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Sachnenia, had some worries that could not be concealed. Although Princess Linya herself had explained to him in detail the theories of these ocean voyages around the world for a long time, he was still confused and difficult to understand. However, out of loyalty to the royal family. It was impossible for him to question the idea of this crown princess, who was rumored to be a god, so what he was thinking about now was to bring these soldiers back as safely as possible.

Seeing that his subordinates were busy doing the final checks for the trip, Brigadier General Claydo gradually became a little cranky. Suddenly, a soldier came running out of breath, and shouted without bothering to salute: "Brigadier General, ...... Her Royal Highness Princess Linya came in person. It's almost time to get to the pier!"

Viscount Cledor, who was extremely surprised, hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop what they were doing and lined up on the ship to prepare for them. The first thing that appears is the bright armor. The majestic Imperial Guards of the Red Leaf Empire were soon lined up in two teams on the docks under the command of Legion Commander Aven.

The crowd hurriedly curtsied. Soon it was the fiery red Knights of the Roses, and ten heroic female knights appeared, surrounded by the captain Suzanne and the noble and beautiful little princess Linya, all the way to the battleship Swordfish.

The originally dull atmosphere on the fleet suddenly turned into an extremely high spirit. It was an unexpected surprise for these ordinary soldiers to have the opportunity to meet the rumored beautiful princess at such a close distance. Kazira and Klaydo hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully offered a kiss and salute.

"Huan...... Welcome, Your Highness the Princess!" Khazra was so bad at words that he didn't know what to say.

"Sincerely welcome your presence, beautiful princess, please accept my supreme respect and blessings, our esteemed future queen, your majesty is our supreme honor!" Flattery is much more palatable.

Although it is really unbearable to have a man kiss the back of his hand, and always in a public place like this, that feeling is really ...... Disgusting...... But no matter how uncomfortable it is, there is no way to do it, I can only close my eyes and endure the past, and I can't express any unhappy expressions. What a sin. Maybe when he becomes king in the future, the first law to be promulgated should be to abolish the hand kiss?

"Your Excellency Viscount Claydo, Your Excellency Viscount Kazra, please two of you. Let's all get up. Linya smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still tried to maintain a reserved and arrogant look on her face.

"I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess came in person, do you have any other orders?"

"How's the preparation for the voyage, two adults?"

"It's ready to go, Your Highness. ”

"Good. Thank you very much. Actually, I know people are still confused and don't understand why I'm doing this. I've already said everything that should have been said before, and there's no point in saying more. What I can only tell you here is that what you are doing is an incomparably great heroic feat that will forever go down in history! Once this voyage is successful, you will become the heroes of the whole kingdom and even the whole world! Work together, warriors! Perhaps there will be countless difficulties and dangers waiting for you in the unknown and distant world ahead, but I believe that you will be able to overcome all difficulties and return victoriously! I will always pray and bless you! Warriors, work hard!" The more Linya spoke, the more excited she became, and she didn't feel excited, and her face, which was already so beautiful that it made people lose their souls, was flushed with layers of redness, which was even more delicate and moving, sweet and lovely, and the soldiers were dumbfounded one by one.

"Oh, hooray, hooray, long live the princess!" after Linya's speech, the soldiers who reacted cheered loudly, and even mixed with a few very discordant howls from someone else.

"Dear princess, please rest assured. We will certainly work hard to accomplish this glorious mission that you have given us! I hereby swear to you with all my honors!"

"I believe in you, Lord Viscount Claredo. I chose you to accomplish this difficult task precisely because my mother and I, as well as His Majesty the King, fully believe in your loyalty and courage!" Linya once again lifted Brigadier General Creddo, who was half-kneeling and taking the oath, and said with a long sigh of relief, "But the difficulty and length of this journey may be far beyond your imagination. So something suddenly occurred to me, and luckily it was still in time. ”

Linya beckoned to Susanna behind her, and Susanna took a roll of brocade from the hand of the attendant, stepped forward and unfolded it, and read it with a stern expression.

Sincerely, respects.

Princess Linya Lantis Severia, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Sachania

November 8, 4123 A.D. at Cohen.

Watching the morale-high fleet of hope gradually disappear below the horizon on the edge of the sky, Linya couldn't help but let out another long sigh. In such an age before enlightenment, is it really meaningful to do this? Are the two hundred people on the ship themselves guiding a glorious sunny avenue, or a road of no return to death?

If they die on the voyage, it will be their own sin! But if they don't pay, they don't get anything. Perhaps only half of them made it back safely – not even half of them, but this time, whatever the cost, it was worth it.

Looking at the cute appearance of the little princess beside her looking into the distance, Suzanne suddenly noticed that there was a strange beauty enveloping Linya's body. It is the light of wisdom, revered and faithful.

At lunch, Queen Isabel finally said with some pity: "Linya, I am by no means questioning your wisdom and foresight, but ...... You gave them 10,000 gold coins to finance such a long voyage without even knowing the date of return, is it really worth it? That's really not a small amount!"

Linya shook her head and smiled: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about this money." Don't worry, when they come back from their round-the-world voyage, those 10,000 gold coins will become 100,000 or even a million gold coins! Such an investment is definitely worth it, don't you still believe me? Maybe I'm often willful and naughty, mischievous and mischievous, causing trouble, but I'm not so bored as to throw gold coins into the water!"

Seeing that her daughter said this, Queen Isabel had no choice but to sigh, and tried her best to suppress the doubts in her heart and forget about it, and said nothing more.

Although her mother no longer mentioned this matter, Linya knew that there was a trace of estrangement in her mother's heart because of this. Although such a small rift is insignificant compared to deep family affection, such a rift may become deeper and deeper as time passes.

Linya really didn't want that. But convincing the mother with reason and knowledge is a completely impossible task.

Is this the price of growth?

Seeing her mother's somewhat depressed expression, Linya felt really sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her mother. Do you really want to tell her about the astronomy and geography of the earth, the moon and the sun, and then involve the origin of the formation of the universe to the earth...... Or about being from the Earth and the Arabian Nights?

Because everyone will have their own secrets, even between parents and relatives, there can be no exception.

Perhaps many of his own forms are indeed too incomprehensible. But if it's what you think is right, why shouldn't you do it?

Alas, why is my heart so contradictory?
