A few days later, an ordinary-looking black four-winged carriage, escorted by a team of seemingly ordinary mercenaries, silently passed through the territory of the Asrex family.

The convoy headed south, skirting Hutton's Marr until it entered the territory of the Hamilton family.

The Hamilton family, the leader of the Queen's faction, is the largest veteran family in the principality.

Its territory is conveniently located in the southern part of the Duchy of Belmar, and its territory is extremely extensive, bordering the territory of the Seth family to the north and the Sea of Storms to the south, with a large port that echoes the Faroe Bay in the east.

Backed by mountains and the sea, with a vast territory, rich land and a large population, this was the territory of the most illustrious and wealthy families of the Principality.

Not only that, but the journey from the Hamilton family to the capital city of Hutton Marr is only half a day. Most of the time, the Iron and Blood Grand Duke will directly direct the country in Hutton Maar, so there are many people who believe that the so-called capital of the Duchy is just in the hands of the Hamilton family.

And in the center of this vast and noble territory, there is a city that is not too prosperous, but with a certain ancient elegance -

Rose Hill City.

This is the heart of the Hamilton family.

This is the birthplace of Fina Hamilton.

"Ever since I defeated my self-esteemed magic teacher by a landslide at the age of seven, and was appointed by my grandfather as the family's first in line, the city of Rose Hill has become my enemy. Looking at the distant horizon, the ancient city walls that were gradually revealing their outlines, Fina's voice sounded faintly in the carriage.

Although it was only a short sentence, Midi could easily imagine the pressure it would be for a child who was only ten years old to be appointed as the first in line of succession in such a large and intertwined family.

Perhaps the majesty of the Iron and Blood Grand Duke is enough to suppress all opposition. Perhaps the Iron Lord was strong enough to protect Fina from all kinds of ambushes and assassinations. However, that's about it.

Gossip, indifference, isolation, hostility, verbal violence and attitude attacks, these Fina must bear by herself, even the strongest shield, no matter how towering the wall, can not resist the attack of these invisible things.

Even Fina's parents may not have a good face.

After all, inheriting the family directly from the Iron Will Grand Duke meant that Fina had skipped an entire generation of them, all of her parents' generation, and had destroyed all their hopes and ambitions.

It's just that in the tone of the red-haired girl, there is neither anger, nor sadness, or even loneliness.

On the contrary, for some reason, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "However, this is also a good thing." After all, a genius is a genius, a strong man is a strong man, and if there is not so much pressure, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach such a level now, and in that case, it will be ...... I can't stand with you......"

The girl, who has always been heroic, rarely showed a little greenness and weakness, and a faint faint flush floated on her fair face.

This is a confession, right?

This is definitely a confession!

Looking at the girl's slightly embarrassed expression, Midi was a little stupid for a moment. He wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his throat became extremely dry, and a thousand words were held in his chest, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"After all, if you can't catch up, let alone the black guy. The girl added this sentence at the very right time, as if a large bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, and she had poured out the mood that Midi had just ignited.

The black guy is, naturally, referring to Alice.

In this operation, Alice stayed behind in the Eagle's Nest.

Midi suddenly understood that if it weren't for the absence of the rival she was fighting with, Fina would not have spit out such emotional words.

Although this is indeed a confession, I am afraid it is not at the level of love. Moreover, Fina was more suspicious of Alice, which also made Midi a little apprehensive.

Am I not a man to be shy of in your eyes, and when did your relationship with Alice become so good that you started saying good things instead of bad things behind your back?

Midi sneered in her heart.

However, looking at Fina's smile that turned from shy to mischievous, Midi felt that after so many common battles and so many common memories, now, she and Fina should at least be friends and lovers, right?

Otherwise, why deliberately take the words apart and play a prank on yourself?

Otherwise, how could such a seductive girlish expression be revealed?

Midi was in a reverie, wondering if he would test it when the carriage shook suddenly, and then stopped suddenly.

"Everyone get out of the car at once and be examined!

A high-pitched, shrill voice rang out and entered the carriage, mercilessly shattering the ambiguous atmosphere and the realm of the two of them that Midi had dreamed of.

The bright red banner as bright as Fina's long hair is embroidered with three majestic golden lions, which is the coat of arms of the famous Hamilton family in the Duchy of Belmar.

It's just that this menacing team is not a soldier, but more like a fun party for the children of the nobility who go out hunting. Among them, the most conspicuous are not people, but those spotted cheetahs that follow the knights galloping.

For the aristocracy, anything can be compared, fame, poetry, mansions, money, women, etc., but in these hundreds of years of comparison, many things have long been out of fashion. In the last decade, all kinds of things that are difficult to get with money in a short period of time have become the main trend of comparison.

For example, thoroughbred horses, purebred hounds, and more noble and rarer - purebred cheetahs.

Looking through the window of the car and glancing at the graceful cheetah, Midi immediately understood.

The people who came were a bunch of gentlemen.

"This is the territory of the Hamilton family, who is so bold as to dare to play mysteries in front of me?" The high-pitched and piercing voice sounded again, and he didn't even bother to put his name on it.

The owner of the voice was a young man who looked a little handsome, about twenty years old, and his face was obviously very pale from overindulgence, but under the delicate hunting costume and military equipment, he looked like a dog.

And his narrowed eyes swirled around Audrey and Erin, and the lust was obvious. For a moment, the sensitive half-elves couldn't help but sink their faces.

At the same time, Fina, who was in the carriage, also sank her face.

It's not because of the ridiculously simple mind, but because of something deeper behind it.

The Iron and Blood Grand Duke is critically ill, this is an extremely secret event, not to mention most of the nobles of the Duchy of Belmar, even the Hamilton family, there are not many people who know about this matter. Only the Grand Duke's close confidants, as well as the first heir in line to the throne like Fina, can learn this information at the first time.

This time difference is an advantage, a means used to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, even the Queen of Magic Bullets, who has always traveled in a high-profile manner and likes to break through head-on, chose to keep a low profile this time very quietly, and did a lot of cover-up work before leaving the Eagle's Nest.

Not only did he beg Alice to stay in charge of the Falcon, but he also didn't bring any items or retinues that might reveal his identity - including the victorious Nightblade Panther Cavalry. The only people who followed the convoy that didn't even have a mark were the adventurers handpicked by Midi.

In a sense, escorting Fina, the leader of the Falcon Regiment, back to Rose Mountain City can be regarded as the first mission of the Hayabusa Regiment.

Once it is likely to determine the important tasks to the future of the principality.

This matter is so important that along the way, the adventurers, who are extremely sensitive to the difference in status and status, instead play the role of noble guards seriously, not only without complaints, but even with extreme dedication.

Therefore, the low-key along the way, coupled with the strong strength, made the team go all the way extremely smoothly, whether it was a mutated monster or a rampant bandit, it could not slow down in any way.

Even if they are real nobles, they are now having a headache for the chaotic security in the territory, how dare they provoke such a mysterious convoy guarded by a large group of high-level adventurers at will?

But what about now?

As soon as he arrived at the territory of the Hamilton family, he happened to encounter a provocation so coincidentally, and Fina vaguely remembered that the one outside the carriage was still the most difficult one, although it was only a side branch, but the power behind it was also inextricably linked.

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it inevitable?

Fina couldn't help but start to reason.

"There are people behind this, at least, someone instigating it. Looking at the red-haired girl's slightly frowning brows, Midi said lightly, "I'm afraid that from the moment we entered the territory, we were targeted." ”

"Why do you say that?" Fina couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't see them with their prey, and most importantly, the leopards were running so happily that they didn't look like they had participated in the hunt. Midino pursed his lips and said very simply.

When the prey is too small, these gentlemen don't bother to pick it up at all. After all, they don't hunt to make a living, but to be able to have a game big enough to show off, so even if a hunting party returns empty-handed, it doesn't mean anything.

However, the state of the leopard is enough to deduce everything.

Fina, who patronized and paid attention to people, but ignored the details, couldn't help but blush - this was in her hometown, her home field, but she didn't see it.

But in any case, now that you know where the other party came from, it's easy to do what to do next.

"Let's get out of the woods. Fina decided.

"If you show up now, the news of the 'Queen of the Magic Bullet returning to the territory' will spread throughout the principality immediately. Midi reminded.

"It doesn't matter, since someone is behind the scenes, then the news of Grandpa's critical illness is probably not a secret to our enemies, in that case, what are you hiding?" Fina stood up, her voice as confident and sassy as ever, "And don't forget, I'm the leader of the Falcon Regiment, of course I have to stand on the front line and fight with my regiments!"
