364. Huh! You're not robbing men? Boring!
This place in Translancia is actually quite evil.
Maybe it's because of bad feng shui, just when Murphy was saying that Miss Pinkie was a procrastinator, the eldest lady of the Sivier family was taking her bodyguard and young and good friend Ms. Liwen to block Miriam, who was about to get off work.
Because of Miriam's role as the Scarlet Archon, her "security level" in the Crimson Keep has long been filled by Murphy.
Not only is there a special "bulletproof carriage" escort, but also at least three elite witch hunters will be by your side at all times, and when you travel at night, Trissy's personal guard captain "Mad Woman" Bonnie will specially arrange vampires to protect you in the shadows.
But Miriam didn't really need these measures, as the Psionic Lord and Lady Tris, the Grand Duke of the Vulture kept a psychic sense of the entire city.
Once something really happened, the Blood Vulture Grand Duke teleported over more effectively than any other measures.
However, as a local consul, there must still be pomp and circumstance, and you can't wait for Tracey to come out of everything you encounter.
After all, security is often more symbolic than practical, and on this point, His Excellency the former prime minister, the strongest bloodline of Xiao Yaga, who was reincarnated in another world because of his open-mindedness, has a great right to speak.
He practiced it himself, at the cost of his own life, and proved to everyone that no matter what kind of security immortal or what kind of beautiful bodyguard who is deeply hidden, it is not as good as exercising his identity and staying alert, and the most important thing is that he usually does less bad things and does not provoke so many enemies, which is more useful than anything else.
Let's go back to the interesting story that is happening in Transnesia.
As soon as the Scarlet Archon's carriage drove out of the administrative office, it was blocked by the two girls in front of her, and Miss Pinkie was still in front of the car with a big grin, and put on a posture of "I won't let you pass unless you hit me" with her hands outstretched.
The evening wind blew through the street at this time, blowing Miss Becky's long blond hair, and causing the curtain of the carriage to sway, revealing Miriam, who was napping in it.
She was really tired and didn't notice the movement in front of her in the first place.
However, the three witch hunter guards on the side of the carriage were very dutiful, and they immediately drew their weapons, and the last guard who drove the car also pinched a red oak seed and prepared to release protective psionic energy, fully demonstrating their strong strength in this area of protection.
The crowd did not attack immediately, but exchanged glances with each other.
Because they all knew the good-looking blonde girl in front of them, for the past two days, Becky Pie had been walking the streets of the city with His Excellency Kudel, the tribune, and because of the high reputation of Lord Kudel among the common people, this "enemy lady" from the Anjou region was also known to many people.
"Lady Becky, what are you doing here?"
Miriam's captain of the bodyguard, Norman, a former veteran of Natalie's squad, withdrew his weapon, and with an iron mask, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"If it's official business, please come to visit the Archon tomorrow morning, for Miriam, who has worked for Transnesia, is tired now.
She desperately needed to go back to her lodgings and rest. ”
"It's because it's a private matter, so I can't talk about it until Miss Consul gets off work, and I can't use my own business to take up her work time."
Miss Pinkie said with a big grin:
"I just want to talk to her about my fiancé, you don't have to worry, you see that Liwen and I don't even have weapons."
When these words were spoken, the four witch hunters on the side of the carriage were stunned at the same time.
The veteran Norman wears a mask so he can't see his true expression, but in fact, Norman is also shocked in his heart.
After all, this kind of eldest lady stopped another noble lady in front of her, and said by name that she wanted to talk to her about her fiancé, no matter what country, what background, or what era, it is an extremely hot and exciting topic!
Isn't this summed up in the three words "robbing men"?
No way!
I have long heard that these nobles play with flowers, and today I saw it really extraordinary.
Of course, Norman and Miriam didn't know each other for the first day, and he didn't believe that the Scarlet Archon would do such a disorderly thing, not to mention that she didn't even have enough time to sleep and rest at the intensity of her work every day, so how could she have time to play this kind of tune?
So after a brief moment of shock, Norman immediately replied in his cold, hoarse tone:
"Are you kidding, as a Black Iron Knight, do you still need a weapon if you want to hurt an ordinary person?
We are not in a position to allow you to approach the Archon on such occasions, so if you must speak with her, please make an appointment with the Secretariat in advance.
Perhaps tomorrow, Miss Miriam will find time to talk to you. ”
"But I'm leaving tomorrow."
Miss Pinky sighed and said:
"It's really exciting to watch you guys boxing with the North guys in the Scarlet Keep these days, but I didn't get anything serious, I just wanted to say a few words to Miss Miriam before I left.
I know that my status as a nobleman of the Plantagenet Kingdom will hardly make you trust me, or else? Can you bring me a letter to Miss Miriam?
I'll come back when I find an opportunity in the future. ”
"This one does."
Norman nodded, and Miss Pinkie was about to write a letter on the spot, but at that moment, Miriam's confused voice came from the carriage:
"Why stop here? Is something wrong? Hey, isn't this Miss Pinkie? What are you doing here? ”
Miriam, who had just taken a nap, lifted the curtain and looked out, just in time to see Pinkie and Liwen blocking the way in front of her.
She had already learned from Adele and Sharon about the relationship between the two girls and Lord Kudell, and she took them for granted that she regarded them as "her own people", and did not hostile them just because they were from the Plantagenet Kingdom.
"You want to talk to me about your fiancé? Is it Fraser Senior? ”
The archon had heard from the female escort in the car what had just happened, and she had never imagined that such a plot would happen to her.
She rubbed her brows with anger and laughter, and said in a tired tone:
"Get in the car, we can talk about it."
"But won't it affect your rest?"
Miss Becky looked at Miriam's dark circles and the tiredness in her eyes that were so heavy that she needed to hide them with aristocratic glasses, and she tilted her head and said:
"I thought you might be prevaricating, but I'm sure you really don't have time to waste on this kind of thing, why don't you wait until I come over next time?"
"After you go back to Anjou this time, if you want to come to Transcia, you will have to wait at least until the Black Plague is over."
Miriam said softly:
"Even if you don't consider your family's factors, just consider that the scale of the Black Plague is still unknown, so this is most likely the last time we will meet.
I don't know what you think.
But if I'm in your position and face this kind of life-related problem, then I'm not going to save it for later.
Come on.
It's still a bit of a distance from here to where I live, and if it's just about Fraser, then we won't have much time. ”
At Miriam's insistent invitation, Miss Pinkie stepped into the carriage.
Lady Liwen stayed outside as her bodyguard and sat with the female witch hunter who was driving, while pricking up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation in the carriage.
This was immediately noticed by the witch hunter who was driving.
But she didn't stop because she was eavesdropping too.
Not only her, but the other three witch hunters in the convoy, including Norman, were inadvertently maximizing their perceptions, even the Governor Murphy, who was hiding in the shadows by the side of the street and pretending to go out for a walk.
He flew over as soon as he learned through Refno's eyes in the Blood Vulture Corridor that Becky and Miriam were about to start the "Man Snatching War", intending to "eat melons on the spot and watch from the sidelines".
In the current matter of catching horses, he must be on Miriam's side.
But Miss Becky's peculiar personality and her background with the Blood Vulture Clan are really annoying, if the two girls really fight, Murphy must show up as soon as possible to stop it so as not to "hurt the harmony", but before it develops to the point of pulling his hair and slapping him, Murphy still eats this melon beautifully.
The days of being a governor in Transencia were boring, and the daily life trajectory was fixed and boring.
In addition to fencing with the necessary evil, all that's left is to attack and defend with Tris, wipe the butts of the little players, and spend the day thinking about what the future of Transncia should be, and the only entertainment left is to watch others blow it on the forum.
I can't wait until there is such a "hot" incident, and I, Lord Murphy, will definitely eat this melon!
But to Murphy's disappointment and the other eavesdroppers, after Becky got into the carriage, there was no much-pleasing tear between the two girls.
On the contrary, the main focus of the conversation between the two of them is to "lay out facts and reason".
Because of Translasia's current shortage of supplies, even the carriage in which the Archon rode was not very luxurious, at least in Becky's opinion, the six of her butlers were better than Miriam's.
But the outside doesn't tell the inside.
Especially when it comes to power!
Pinky knew very well that the red-haired girl in front of her, who was two years younger than her and had a tired face, was currently in the power system of Translasia equivalent to the prime minister of the Plantagenet Kingdom.
Even her own father had to lower his attitude when faced with such a character, so she didn't speak immediately, but waited for Miriam's initiative.
"First of all, I want to clarify one thing."
Miriam picked up her glass.
This is the "thermos cup" that one of the best blacksmiths among the young players has given to her by hand, and there is hot water in it all year round.
The Transians don't have a habit of drinking hot water, but Murphy thinks it's easy and that this kind of small detail, once discovered, is the best way to bring Miriam closer to the younger players.
The Archon twisted the lid of the water glass, took a sip of hot tea to dissipate some of her exhaustion, and said to Becky with an approachable smile:
"I don't have any relationship with Fraser that is more than a friend, in fact, I'm more wary of him than anyone else.
Because my senior has grown into a brilliant intelligence collector in the ten years of war.
I am well aware that at the time when he was ordered to come to Transcia to record the story of Sallokdal's death, his approach to me was purposeful.
In that case, I don't think you have to worry about me sparking something different with him.
And personally, I do admire him.
However, that's all there is to it. ”
"But he's to you"
Miss Pinkie said with a strange look in her eyes:
"Well, you don't think of any of what he said about you, but I can only say that you two senses are very different from each other in this matter.
You don't even know what he's done for you during this time.
Also, I'm not here to pick up this matter with you and ask you to leave Fraser, Lord Miriam, I'm not that careful.
Actually, I haven't been running around with my grandfather in the Crimson Keep for the past few days, and I have my own plans to get news about you from other people.
I want to see what other people think of you.
I have to say that the news I heard is also very different from the impression I had of you before I left.
I never imagined that a woman younger than my age would be so highly praised in a place with such a strong folk scene.
I have seen more than one mother encouraging her daughter by saying that she wants her to learn from you and become a noble and distinguished woman like you in the future.
The people you have sheltered seem to have come to see you as a symbol of the land, and I even have a feeling that the natives love you even more than they fear Governor Murphy!
Maybe it's because you were born in Transncia and are more 'rooted' than Master Murphy in this regard? ”
"Really? It seems that my hard work during this time has paid off, which is enough to make me feel gratified. ”
Miriam smiled.
This time she smiled very happily and drank the hot tea, then relaxed and stretched her body, and then said to Miss Becky:
"So what kind of image do you think I am? Becky Pie, can I call you Becky? Or do you still want to call you Ms. Sivir? ”
"Whatever you want, my grandfather still calls me 'Little Peach', it's really a homophonic bad taste for the elderly."
Miss Pinkie rolled her eyes.
As a powerful knight who has inherited the prowess of the Nantes Ranger, she doesn't care what others will call her.
However, in the face of Miriam's question, she still thought for a moment with her smooth brain, which she didn't use often, before frowning and saying:
"You're the kind of person who never appeared in my plans for my life."
"Huh?"
This answer was characteristic enough that Miriam's eyes widened, and then she heard Becky explain:
"Ever since I was a child, I had heard my dad tell me stories about my grandfather's adventures, and maybe it was because I heard too many stories about knights when I was a kid, which caused me to grow up very different from other girls.
I don't like dresses, I don't like jewelry, I don't like makeup, I don't like the guys going around me.
But I'm interested in beating them.
I like war horses, I like to collect weapons and armor, and I like to go out on adventures with Liwen in disguise.
Even just listening to the down-and-out travelers in the tavern tell the stories they spent a few minutes making up would make me happy all day.
Before I came to Transnesia, my biggest dream was to be a brave knight like my grandfather who left a legend in history.
I don't actually like Fraser either.
I prefer to call him my good brother."
"Poof"
Miriam didn't hold back, and laughed out loud on the spot.
Becky laughed too.
The slight tension in her heart was completely released at this moment, and she even changed her sitting posture, from a nasty ladylike posture to a more comfortable and relaxed but somewhat overly swaggering unseemly warrior posture.
She leaned back in the saddle across from Miriam, shrugged her shoulders and said:
"I'm not kidding~
In the city of Nantes, Frazier and I have already agreed that if fate pushes us to that point, then I don't mind having a baby for him.
After all, this is a marriage between two families, and although I don't like it, I have to make the necessary sacrifices and sacrifices for my family.
Who made me a girl?
I was destined to not be able to choose my own destiny the moment I was born, but in these few days in Transencia my mind has been shaken, and the reason for the shake is you, Miss Miriam.
I see in you another possibility of being a woman!
That's another possibility that is more powerful than becoming a famous female knight in history, and I can't help but wonder if I would have done better than you if I had been from your background, if I had been in your position.
But every time I think about it, I end up disappointed.
My brain and my heart, as well as the disdainful look in my friend Liwen, were telling me that I wasn't the material. ”
She paused and said earnestly to Miriam:
"Miriam can be a better Becky, but it's hard for Becky to be a great Miriam, and I have to admit that Fraser's pursuit of you doesn't just stem from a man's desire for a woman.
You are indeed a very attractive lady.
It's not just because of your amazing face, your story is just beginning, but it's already more exciting than the last twenty years of my life.
We are not at all an opponent at all.
I lost.
It's the first time I've been so willing to throw in the towel to another woman on something since I was a kid, and I'll quit with dignity if you want to."
"Exit what? Lift your head up and look me in the eye! ”
Miriam took a sip of tea.
Assuming the majesty of an archon, she stared at Pinkie sternly, her eyes as sharp as knives.
Under the gaze of the superior who had already accumulated momentum, Miss Pinky moved her body a little uncomfortably, and even changed her sitting posture slightly to make herself nervous again.
"Are you going to treat yourself and me as commodities that can be picked up at the will of Senior Fraser? Becky, is the value of your existence just the decoration and trophy of some man's life?
I have heard that you have also studied history on the Chardo Peninsula, but Professor Malcolm would have been very disappointed if he had heard what you had just said.
I told you at the beginning, Becky, I don't like Fraser.
Even if I like him, I will not ask you to quit to fulfill us, a person's happiness should not be built on the basis of destroying the happiness of others, and now you are his fiancée!
So, show some momentum and don't act like a kitten who admits defeat.
Such a style is not for you. ”
She put down her glass and reached out to take Becky's hand.
She said very seriously:
"You're not anyone's foil, you're not anyone's cake, and you're wrong, no matter how good Miriam is, she can't be a brave Becky Pie.
In my eyes, you are also what I would never have imagined in my life.
Also, you may be underestimating my intelligence network as a Crimson Archon, but I knew there would be a conversation between you and me when you were attacked on the border of Translasia.
But you were more honest than I expected.
It's even a little silly cute.
I've confirmed it now, and they're going to love you!
You might even take Lady Triss in their place as the most sought-after 'Knight Queen' in Translancia. ”
"Them?"
Becky asked suspiciously:
"Who?"
"Warriors of Transancia."
Miriam's eyes narrowed, looking up and down at Becky as if she were a remarkable work of art, and she said:
"Your grandfather led them to defeat the entrenched gnolls of Translasia, and now he's just stepped down as Warrior Commander, but I think you'll probably be the most suitable successor.
So I'm here to invite you in the name of the Scarlet Archon of Translasia, Becky, and I want you to stay here, stay in the Crimson Keep.
Don't you want to be a knight as great as the Nantes Ranger?
Believe me!
You won't find a place on the continent where you can start as fantastically like ours, and the most imposing and fearless warriors you can think of are longing for a true knightly leader.
I also believe that one day, you will be the outstanding woman that men like Fraser look up to, and I am absolutely sure of that!
Stay, Becky.
Full of darkness and danger but destined to rise, Transcia is the most suitable stage for you. ”
Bikie's response to Miriam's gracious invitation was
"Huh?"
"Huh? That's it? ”
At the same time, Murphy, who was listening in the shadows by the carriage, also looked disappointed.
I was really excited to come but only heard these failures, in front of Miriam, who had grown up, Becky's rank was too low, and she was simply crushed all the way.
The rhythm of the conversation was completely mastered by the cunning consul from the beginning, and there was an anti-guest twist at the end.
Although Miriam's proposal made Murphy quite excited, although this royal story of "a blonde beautiful girl voluntarily debuted to become a knight idol in order to save the common people" is also very emotional, this is by no means the "man robbery war" that Murphy hopes to hear tonight!
