Section 71
Annan came to the Huadu City Lord's Mansion for the first time.
Previously, he was not qualified, and if he said that he was the lord of "Liberty City", he would only be asked by the officials in confusion what kind of place it was.
It's different now. The southern nations already knew what Annan was doing in Hearsi, and spread the news to Huadu. When Annan came to the gate of the city lord's mansion to reveal his identity, he was greeted as a royal knight.
Annan saw the princess.
"We meet again."
She sits in a garden full of flowers, still beautiful...... But it's just a noble girl, and she doesn't have the kind of a real princess...... Mercy and devotion.
In Annan's heart, the princess who lost a left eye, a right arm, and finally lost her soul was countless times more beautiful than her.
"I didn't know you were the princess's person......," the princess stood up reproachfully.
Annan didn't speak, his eyes fell on the butler standing next to him.
"He is my servant." Wang Nu said.
"It's okay, the misunderstanding is cleared." Annan said, "But in front of others, you can call me a knight." ”
"Okay...... Knight. ”
"The princess should have told you all, right?"
"Yes, you...... You meet the real princess in Persona, be awarded the knighthood, and destroy the weirdness of Persona on your own. ”
No wonder the fake princess was nervous because of Annan's arrival, and the crimson princess boasted a lot for Annan.
Annan said directly: "Wang Nu, I still have some tasks in Huadu, and I can't follow you all the time." ”
The fake princess looked relieved: "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”
"Of course."
That's why Annan came here: "Happy water is my property, and I need you to speak for it." Warn me again to the Nine Wine Merchants that I don't want to see them in trouble. I also need a theater, Kinnar is not a problem, but I need to get it done before the celebration, and then introduce me to some nobles who have their own domains......"
The fake princess was at a loss under Annan's string of requests: "Uh...... Are these all princess requests? ”
"I mean princess."
"Okay......
"Then I'll go back, good night Your Highness."
"Good night."
The false princess whispered goodbye and watched as Annan left the garden.
"Did you see that? He doesn't have the slightest respect for you. The 'butler' standing behind him showed a cold smile like a poisonous snake, "They don't believe you at all, and they even sent a 'knight' to spy on you......"
The words of the "butler" came to an abrupt end, and he quickly gathered his coldness and replaced it with a respectful smile.
Annan, who returned, looked at the housekeeper suspiciously, and said to the princess: "I forgot to tell you that the princess lent me the real Persona City ring before, remember not to show it." ”
The Fake Princess's head lowered and looked at the Fake Persona Ring on her delicate fingers like mutton fat.
Annan left again, and the "butler" said to the false princess who bowed his head: "Do you believe that he has seen the real princess?" That useless princess's subordinates can touch the real princess? Maybe it's just like you, just making it up to deceive people, and it's ......."
The laughter of the "butler" disappeared again, as Annan went and returned.
"It's not good to laugh like that." Annan said to the butler, "I heard your treacherous laughter like an old crow in the distance. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency." The "butler" bowed his head.
"Anything else?" The fake princess had to ask.
"No, it was his laughter that drew me." Annan pointed to the silent butler.
……
Did Princess Scarlet also send a weird butler to follow the fake princess?
On the way back, Annan thought.
The reception officer was waiting for him in front of the garden and took Annan to the hall.
The nobles and officials of Huadu rushed over, and they wanted to know what was going on in Persona City.
"I've told you everything I need to say......
After Annan recounted what had happened in Persona, their doubts did not disappear.
One of the lion-like captains of the Order questioned who Annan really was.
"I'll just say it once." Annan looked up, because it was too long, "I am Annan, King of the North, Nezumi Buster, Rat Hunter Champion, Lord of the Floating City, Champion Warlock, Dungeon Keeper, King of Hide and Seek, Strange Goodwill Messenger, King Lady Knight, Reeves......"
"What are you talking about......"
A bunch of big people were stunned, and the head of the knights asked, "I mean, how do you prove your identity!" ”
"I just came out of the princess." Annan gave him a thumbs up.
Everyone could see Annan's self-confidence - no one was closer to the princess than him.
The head of the Order of Knights said angrily, "Are you despising me? ”
"Just to show you my fingers that wore the Rings of Persona."
"Well, he's the hero of Hearsi's purification, not your prisoner." A gentle tone interjected, and the deputy city lord stood between the two and explained to Annan, "We just want to know how the situation is going in Persona City......"
"I don't know more than you do......"
The smell of gunpowder at the banquet was gone, but Annan still had to answer some questions, such as those who were missing......
Annan didn't know if he had any questions, but he told everyone about the end of the Archbishop of Valencia.
Valencia was not a proper father, but his loyalty to the Church and Persona was so beautiful that even the head of the Order bowed his head in respect.
Among the participants of this meeting, which is not a banquet or a council, is an acquaintance, Fatima Saylor.
Because of her relationship with the princess and her acquaintance with Annan, she was also invited over.
"You're actually the knight of the princess...... "Fatima Sayler seems to be still dreaming.
Annan could only deceive the poor girl first: "The princess won't let me tell you." ”
"That ......"
"You want to ask your aunt? She was killed by the Weird. ”
The two princesses didn't tell where the nobles in the front hall went, but the "sister" said that there had been a strange intrusion...... You don't have to guess to know.
Fatima Saylor was woken up by a hammer and froze.
Annan was a little surprised, and looking at her reaction, it seemed that she had a good relationship with her aunt......
He thought that Lady Elisa, who was going to serve her with her niece, did not have a good relationship with her......
"I've told you everything I know, and anyone who has any questions can come to me at the tavern in the Old Town." Annan said goodbye to them and walked outside the city lord's mansion.
He bumped into a figure coming in at the door, a pair of amber eyes that Annan could not forget.
The moment he saw her, Annan suddenly realized that Valencia's real gift was not his own essence, but the memory itself......
Correspondingly, Annan, who inherited the day of January 17 from the Archbishop of Valencia, could hardly stand by and watch after seeing Corlet.
Cunning old fox ......
Corlett was also looking at Annan, who she recognized as the young man she had seen earlier today.
"Have we met anywhere?"
