Chapter Twenty-Eight: An Audience with the Princess

"Poofha......"

After listening to Alice's explanation, Leah couldn't help but laugh.

"Uh......h It's not funny. ”

Dietrich crossed her hands on her hips, tilted her head and puffed out her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Even if you say that...... By the way, I've heard that orcs can get hair loss if they are malnourished?"

The thought that the other party had taken her here just to eat meat made Leah laugh.

"It's not like hair loss, but the tail is already starting to blow up. ”

Only then did Leah notice that the tip of the other party's turbulent tail had already exploded fluffy like a small dandelion seed.

"Anyway - meat - roast - stew - even if it's raw meat, anything!"

"I know, I know. ”

Unable to stand the wolf girl's pleading, a certain Lori nodded and took out her wand.

After a few minutes......

The camp is filled with the smell of barbecued meat. The mercenaries gathered in a circle, enjoying the meat they had not seen for a long time, and during this time, they could hear bursts of exclamations from time to time.

"Hmm...... This barbecue is awesome, it tastes so much better than what I've eaten in the Darkfire Tavern. ”

"But the head of the regiment, they got so much meat, aren't they afraid that the elves will make trouble?"

"It's okay, it's said to be all magic. We didn't hunt, so they had no reason to find fault with us. ”

"Magic, hey, I said that mage over there, didn't you tell me two days ago that you can only make bread and water?"

"It's too hard to explain this to you, but remember. Only a very powerful magician can make food other than water and bread, something that even Captain Isardo can't do, do you think I can do it?"

"Oh. So, we've got a big guy here?"

"Not only is it a big man, it is said that she is the daughter of the duke's family. ”

"Poof!! you're kidding!?"

"Hey, don't spew wine all over the place, I'm not kidding!"

"But how could the daughter of the Duke's family ...... You must be lying to me. ”

"He didn't lie to you, I participated in the dark space wurm hunt in the Dark Fire Forest, so I will never be mistaken, and it was Lord Leah Farren, the third lady of Duke Faren's family, who was carried into the tent by Sister Dietrich before. ”

"Hey, hey. That's a great man, the aristocracy would make us barbecue, I must be dreaming. ”

"Not every nobleman is as eye-catching as you think. Let me say that Lord Leah is the most amazing nobleman I have ever met.

Of course, I also want to remind you - don't think that the eldest lady is really easy to bully, and anyone dares to be disrespectful to her. Look at Captain Loka. When the time comes, no one will be able to save you if you become a duck. ”

"Uh...... Got it...... Understand ......"

Around the bonfire, everyone chatted word by word, and most of the topics focused on little Lori.

Leah, who was the subject of the discussion, was sitting in a tent at this time, enjoying a delicious meal with Alice.

"I thought you would refuse the mercenaries' requests, aren't all human nobles like that?"

Taking a sip of ale, Alice asked with some curiosity.

"Well...... Generally speaking, yes, but Mr. Izado and Miss Dietrich are good people. So I don't want to say no to small requests like this. ”

Leah smiled, albeit a small request. But a certain Lori not only provided barbecue meat for everyone in the camp, but even made large vats of ale, and because of this, her mental power was quickly exhausted, and she even drank a few bottles of recovery potions for this.

"Speaking of which, Alice, are you okay with barbecue?"

A certain Lori suddenly realized that the girl in front of her seemed to be from the elf race.

"Actually......"

Alice blinked mysteriously.

"When I was a child, my father used to take me to the forest to barbecue meat. Of course, if you are accidentally found by your mother, you will be reprimanded very badly. ”

She put her index finger to her lips and made a secret gesture.

Although the elves are vegetarians, Alice's father is a true carnivorous pie - have you ever heard of the black dragon who lives on carrots and wild vegetables?

After explaining, her gaze returned to the barbecue in her hand, and unlike before, she seemed to be able to see a trace of nostalgia in Alice's gaze.

"Good luck with you finding your parents soon, Alice. ”

Leah said.

"Thank you. ”

The half-dragon girl smiled.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion in the camp.

"Looks like Alec, they're here. ”

Counting the time, although the speed is not as fast as Alice and Dietrich, the knights have Elena by their side, as Leah's elven language teacher, although Elena's combat ability is not too strong, but her tracking skills are not bad all the time living in the big forest.

Little Lori walked out of the tent and explained to Alec and the others what happened here. After hearing that the other party had captured Leah just to eat meat, everyone's faces had an expression of not knowing what to say.

After calming the knights, Leah thought for a moment and returned to the tent where Dietrich and Isador and the other mercenary captains were.

"All right, dear big brothers and sisters, if you're well fed and drunk, now listen to me - you have a job to do!"

A certain Lori crossed her hands on her waist, held up her super boobs, and announced loudly with a little cuteness.

"Oh! I'll just wait for that!"

Dietrich drank the ale in her hand and jumped up and shouted.

"Well, do you still want to quit now, Loca, Winter?"

Isado looked at his two companions with a smirk.

"No doubt ......"

Loka shrugged.

"You're going to count us!"

Winter Interface......

After some time, under the leadership of Leah and others, the leaders of the three mercenary groups came to the camp where Randall's people were.

"So, we're lucky enough to receive a mission from Miss Leah?"

On the way, Winter asked with a smile. Isado and Dietrich relied on the letter of recommendation left by little Lori before leaving, and the benefits they got made all the mercenaries red...... Thinking of this, he felt his heart speed up a little.

"Oh, no, ladies and gentlemen, it's not my turn to be the publisher of the task this time. ”

Leah turned around and waved her hand.

"Hey!? Who could that be?"

Dietrich's tail stood up.

"First of all, even if I had to issue a mission, it would be my sister, Count Karene Farain. And above that, there is also the princess of our kingdom of Randall, Her Majesty Isabella Randall VII!"

During the conversation, everyone had arrived at the largest tent in the middle of the camp, and at the suggestion of a loli, Alec and Date stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the tent - in which were Karen and Isabella sitting.

So, seeing the princess sitting in the middle of the tent with a golden crown, the mercenaries knelt in unison. (To be continued......)
