"Has it been cleaned up?"

Charlotte turned to Albert, who was following her.

Cleaned up, the princess standing in a cloud of blood and stumps was certainly not referring to dirt.

"Yes, although there was a slight resistance, it didn't last long with the knights joining forces. ”

Albert stepped forward quickly, holding the candlestick in his hand with his arm, and then removing the sword from his waist along with the scabbard, and using it as a stick to remove the pieces of meat and clear the way for the princess for a relatively clean day.

"yes, that's good. ”

Charlotte smiled and glanced at Albert, but didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward, which also made Albert only speed up the cleanup.

"Because it's called the 'strongest prison', I thought there would be a big ball. ”

Albert opened the way for the princess without saying a word, as if he had not heard the princess's words. It's not that Albert wants to do it, but he doesn't dare to answer.

Albert, who has been with the princess for many years, knows better than anyone how terrible this princess-looking princess is, and Albert is also famous for his genius in the city where he was born, but even so, he has served the princess for so many years, and he has not been able to guess the princess's thoughts.

Since you can't guess, don't show it and replace 'can't do' with 'didn't do'.

Albert has his own rules of doing things, it doesn't matter what the princess is thinking, it's important to know what the princess likes and hates.

This is not flattery, nor is it ignorance, but can correct one's position.

Albert knows. The reason why he was chosen as the princess's knight because of his lack of background and combat ability was because of his agility and knowledge of current affairs.

Albert's choice proved to be the right one.

"I just like that. Never say what you are not sure about, and ask what you don't know. I don't know how to pretend to understand, and I won't be good at making claims. ”

Charlotte said casually.

Of course, this is not flattery or ignorance, but knowledge of current affairs. ”

It was obviously a sweet girlish voice, but it made Albert feel as if he was being choked by a huge python.

Just using words, you can completely play with other people's minds like marionettes, and this is the power of the second princess of Heberis, Charlotte Heberis.

-- Perhaps the princess has reached the highest point of human intelligence, has Albert thought so more than once.

The apex of human intelligence, which really fits the title of Charlotte Herberry.

Albert had never seen anyone match the princess in wit and ruthlessness, not even the supposedly virtuous and wise ministers.

Every time he watched everyone being deceived by the princess's harmless gesture of being deceived and then unknowingly cannibalized, Albert felt a sense of superiority. At least I'm smarter than these stupid ordinary people.

As he spoke, Albert had led the princess to a large steel-cast door.

"This is the entrance to the prison. ”

With that, Albert hung his sword back at his waist and set the candlestick aside.

The cast steel door was commensurate with its appearance, and Albert had to push it open with all his strength, and when he opened it, it was a different scene inside.

The vast passageway made of massive rocks was reinforced again with steel supports, and the ceiling hung upside down with skull-like candlesticks, each of which glowed slightly greenish. It gives an eerie feeling.

The eerie passage spirals downward, and the walls are covered with weapons of all kinds, some new and rusty and rotten from being left unattended.

"Please watch your step. ”

Albert just made a false gesture. Didn't really touch the princess, because the princess hated physical contact with others.

"It's a prison, but there are so many weapons. Do you know what's going on, Albert. ”

Charlotte held out her hand. Fingers ran across the spine of a large sword with a mutilated blade.

Princess Charlotte always likes to ask questions like this, albeit out of interest. But there is often a deep meaning in it, so Albert never dares to slack off.

Albert is tall and straight, belongs to the kind of hard-core handsome guy, and is a knight, so many people will think that he is the kind of person who is physically fit in junior high school, but the reality is the opposite.

Albert is not a weak man who is helpless, but he is not a brave man who can ride a thousand horses, and when it comes to force alone, he is probably only a little better than the average soldier, and he is a squadron leader at most in the army.

Having said all this, it actually means that Albert is a knight, but he is not good at fighting.

Magic aside, swords and the like are really not Albert's area of expertise, let alone judging the thoughts of those muscular with weapons.

However, Albert was sure that the princess would not make things difficult for him with questions that he could not possibly know, so he had common sense and let his mind go.

"It's ...... Booty. ”

Albert's tone was affirmative, whether he guessed right or wrong, and gave credit to his guess before he disagreed, or even before the answer was confirmed.

Charlotte turned and walked down, not saying whether Albert had guessed right or wrong.

But Albert saw the princess's movements and knew that he had guessed correctly.

And within a few steps, Charlotte's voice came from the front.

"Even if you can't show it, display the loot. ”

Like mockery, like pity, Charlotte's short sentence can make people think of many things.

"It's like a hunter whose life is so comfortable that he forgets his duties and slacks off his skills. ”

Albert understood the princess's words.

A hunter who forgets his duty has no point in existence, and a hunter who slacks off his skills has no value in existence.

Meaningless and worthless, that's Charlotte's assessment of being in this prison.

Albert involuntarily lowered his head. He thought of one thing, that is, not long ago, when the order of Princess Charlotte to be sent to the fortress city on the border was just announced, the first prince secretly sent a letter because he valued himself, the purpose was very simple, that is, he hoped that he could go over to help the first prince, for which the first prince even prescribed.

Albert's shirt was soaked with cold sweat at that time, and he completely rejected the first prince in a resolute tone, and completely covered up the past.

This is a bad move, Albert has always known, but he does not dare to bet, as long as Princess Charlotte has a little distrust of him because of this matter, then everything he has will be wiped out in an instant.

Did the princess mean to 'beat Albert the knight'? Albert couldn't guess.

Just as Albert was in shock, Charlotte's voice came again.

"Now that you've made your own inferences, you have to be confident before others disagree, or even before the answer is confirmed, right?"

When Albert was distracted, Princess Charlotte leaned back slightly, turned her face sideways, and stared straight into Albert's eyes.

"It's not an easy task, especially when the stakes are high. ”

Lined with green candlelight, Princess Charlotte's calm gaze is terrifying. (To be continued.) )
