"Rufia Ogurides? Isn't this the ......" Rogers snapped the book shut, frowning slightly, and cast a puzzled look at Alina.

On the day she went to the Scarlo Market to look for Alice, Alina had mentioned to herself that the princess Lufia was hiding at the scene.

"Yes, that's her." Alina bowed, and she slowly got up by holding on to the armrest of her seat: "In the morning, my parents suddenly wanted to go to the green valley to enjoy the scenery, and they also sent me to the stargazing tower, and ordered me not to return to the mansion today.

"When I came to the Tower, I saw that Earl Braid's dress was unusually formal, and the servants of the mansion had been in a hurry to clean the Earl's House.

"It turns out that it's all because Her Royal Highness Princess Rufia is coming."

Rogers looked at Alina's suddenly realized look, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyes: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" ”

"You didn't ask me." Alina tilted her head slightly, revealing a confused look, and a smile and cunning that could not be concealed flowed in her eyes.

"It's not just Her Royal Highness the Princess, Prince Rheed is also here, and now he's being accompanied by the Earl himself!" Hans clutched his chest to calm his rapid breath and hurriedly added.

Rogers instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, members of the royal family who went to other nobles' territories had to hand in a letter of visit a week in advance.

This is not just etiquette, but there are also many political considerations.

Especially in this world of extraordinary power, no nobleman would be happy to have a royal family quietly appear in his domain.

Even the nobles who belonged to the imperial power would never tolerate such a situation as disgusting as swallowing slugs raw.

However, a week ago, Rutgers reported that Princess Rufia was hiding in his own territory, so his father must have made some deal with the prince about this matter.

Hans seemed to hear a noise in the stairwell behind him, and after turning his head to look at it, he immediately stood up straight, hurried to the side of the staircase, and stared down at his toes, as if transformed into a sculpture.

Immediately afterward, two figures stepped up the stairs and gradually appeared in the tower.

The maiden in front of her wears a delicate silver crown and an ornate gown adorned with silk pleats and glittering jewels.

It's just that she doesn't seem to be used to such an outfit, and her walking posture reveals a subtle awkwardness.

And her fluffy, slightly curly blonde hair was much shorter than that of a normal girl, and a little longer than Rogers's hair.

The temperament of the whole body is more elegant and dignified than that of a princess, but it is more inclined to the sassy of a young man.

The feminine femininity and the handsomeness of the man are perfectly blended on her neat pretty face.

Rogers only felt that if the other party was wearing men's clothes, it would definitely be the type of male and female who could not distinguish between male and female.

"Shameless white-haired ghost! When you see Her Royal Highness the Princess, don't you hurry up and salute? ”

The young man who was following Rufia yelled at Rogers.

He wore long, curly brown hair, the standard robe of a boy knight, and the hilt of his sword at his waist in his palms.

This dress should be the heir of the nobles sent to the royal family for young knightly education.

Rogers glanced at the boy knight with an inexplicable expression, slowly got up and bowed to Rufia's chest, and then pointed at the boy knight and said to Alina, "He's humiliating you." ”

White-haired ghost is an insulting term commonly used by silver-haired people, and it has connotations such as rudeness, barbarism, debauchery, and so on.

"No, he's humiliating you." Alina, who had just finished the dress ceremony, replied with a smile: "As we all know, the white-haired ghost has nothing to do with the white hair. ”

"Then why not call it a silver-haired ghost? What is the origin of this word? Rogers withdrew his hand and touched his chin in confusion, and continued to speculate:

"In any case, as a princess, the boy knight, he actually humiliated the two noble earl families just after they met, did he want to provoke a dispute between the royal family and the nobles of the Eastern Realm?

"Could this be at the behest of Prince Rayald? The royal family doesn't want the East to grow stronger because of the prosperity of the trading coast, and wants an excuse to use the knife on us. ”

"Probably unlikely." Alina shook her head slightly, cooperating with Rogess's slippery slope fallacy: "This boy knight's name is Caspar DeMonte, and the Demont family is also a nobleman in the East.

"Several generations of the heads of his family also served in the emperor's court and were staunch supporters of the emperor.

"However, because you can't always take care of the relationship between the territory, the development share of the green valley has been quietly divided by the aristocratic group led by your father, and the Demont family has not enjoyed any benefits.

"I guess he just wants to borrow the princess's hand to get some benefits for his family."

Rogers heard that he clenched his fist into the palm of his hand, and looked at Caspar with a sudden realization: "I can't imagine that he has such a sinister mind at such a young age!" ”

"He's a year older than you, and he's already promoted to the bronze rank." Alina reminded speechlessly: "You don't usually remember the portraits of the noble genealogy, you don't even know the eldest son of the Demont family." ”

Caspar watched as the two in front of him sang and harmonized, wondering why he had suddenly been guilty of so many heinous crimes.

"You white ...... who have defiled the saint for two years every day without interruption Bastard! Don't want to slander the glory of the Demont family! I'm named after Caspar de Monte! A duel is proposed to you! Caspar's face turned red and he roared through gritted teeth.

If he was really forced to commit these crimes, his father would probably take off his surname in a fit of rage, regardless of whether the prince would forgive him.

Obviously, at first, he purely wanted to show his justice against the notorious Rogers.

"Among the nobles, the high-ranking ones are not allowed to propose a duel to the low-ranking ones, you are already bronze, is it the glory of the Demont family to rely on the strong and bully?" Rogers looked at him incredulously.

Caspar was stunned, and then said hatefully: "I have heard that you will go to St. Herte soon, and when you are promoted to bronze, I hope you will not expose your timid and cowardly nature!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no need to be polite to this kind of filthy fellow, let's go back to the Prince."

He turned to Rufia and made a suggestion to keep the noble princess away from the source of the pollution at once.

"I don't know why your relationship is so bad, but if Caspar doesn't like it, you can leave first." Rufia blinked her eyes and said to Caspar with a simple gaze.

"Your Highness Princess, I ......" Caspar gripped the hilt of his sword twice, bowed in apology, turned his head and walked down the stairs, it was impossible for him to stay here any longer.

After seeing Caspar leave, Rufia turned her head and looked at Rogers with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to find some inhuman trait in him: "Lord Rutgers, you really ......"

"Fake!" Rogers directly interrupted the question, and said with no ambiguity: "I am such a kind, sincere, and benevolent ...... Why should a righteous boy who is enough to bear all the words that describe good qualities bear these stupid rumors?

"Not to mention that I was only eleven years old two years ago! What can I do? Can't do it! You don't know what? ”
