Chapter 84: The Mysterious Visitor
Sether could not remember how he had stumbled his way out of the Cloud Castle, and he must have met soldiers, servants, tenants, and men and women with blurred faces, none of whom dared to stand in his way.
The memory seemed to have been edited into a glimpse in his mind, and his heart was filled with all kinds of strong emotions, but the only strong desire that dominated his mind was to get out of here at once!
The sun had just risen when Sether stepped out of the gates of Cloudcast, and he squinted for a few moments until his eyes were sore and sore, but he liked the feeling. The warmth and brightness of the morning light made him feel the breath of life, he was like a patient who had just climbed out of bed from a long-term coma, his facial features and mind were reopened, and the whole person had a new sense of rebirth.
He finally felt hungry and extremely tired, and he remembered that he had only drunk a few sips of wine since he had set foot on the Windsor family's domain, and had not eaten anything else. But in the same way, he fell in love with the weakness and deprivation that he could only feel because of life, which just proves that he is still alive in this world. Sether bought a horse without much effort, and he quickly found a tavern.
He still had the human skin mask that Hidden Eyebrow had made for him before, and as long as Sether covered his immaculate face, he wouldn't be in trouble on the road. The meal was served quickly, and it was surprisingly fast, for although his face looked mediocre at the moment, his tall and tall figure and unconcealable imperial aura, coupled with the fatal charm of his generous hand, made him receive a personal reception from the proprietress as soon as he entered the tavern.
Sether knew from this jubilant fat face that as soon as he spoke, the proprietress would tell him everything.
He could adjust his expression to be kind or intimidating at will—a skill that every emperor must master—and this time, Seser behaved very cheerfully, like a young man who had just gone to join the army, and he tossed a few silver coins to the proprietress and said in a cheerful tone, "Kind young lady, could you please tell me what news there is here lately?"
The proprietress liked Seser very much since she first saw him, and seeing that he was so generous, she couldn't wait to marry her unmarried daughter to this aristocratic young man who particularly gave her a good impression. Although his horses are not expensive, they are the brown horses that can be seen everywhere in the local area, but his black velvet hunting suit looks like it is from the hands of the royal master of the court, not to mention his belt and leather boots, the material is more precious than gold dark red rhinoceros leather, if this kind of leather product is not a royal family, ordinary people do not talk about it, I am afraid that they have never heard of it, let alone seen it.
But the proprietress had worked as a valet in the palace of the Golden City for a time in her early years, so she could see at a glance that the young man's boots alone could buy all her belongings, so she poured all her enthusiasm for breakfast into this guest. In addition, he actually opened his mouth to call her Miss, which made the proprietress feel that she was twenty years younger in an instant, and her magnetic and beautiful voice made her heart flutter to the extreme.
"What do you want to hear, my good guest?" the proprietress gushed as soon as she spoke, and before Seser could reply, she continued to herself, "You are asking me the right person, and there is nothing in this radius that my Madame Corn does not know." You are from out of town, you must be a foreign nobleman, don't look at you so low-key, but I can see it at a glance. When I was in the Golden City Palace before—hey, forgive me for opening my mouth, I can't stop when I open my mouth...... Ahem, you just said you want to know what's going on here, don't you? There was a big incident at our inn last night, and guess who I met?"
"Well, kind young lady, how could I have guessed......" Sether had long been impatient with the parents chattering with the proprietress about the short time, but he knew that it was not wise to interrupt her, because many clues that brought important information were unintentionally revealed, and he trusted his instincts, this so-called Madame Corn would definitely give him the information he wanted, "Did you meet the king, or the princess?"
"Ouch, my good guest, you said you couldn't guess, but as soon as you opened your mouth you hit the target," cried the proprietress in surprise, followed by a dejected deplorment, as if she had just been deprived of a delicious meal, "Are you with them?
"Sister Corn, just say it, I'm dying. I'm just guessing, if you make any more detours, I'll be by you. Sether felt his patience running out at the speed of light, and he pleaded with the proprietress with a coquettish rudeness, "Damn, I wish I hadn't been here." ”
His naïve and rude attitude touched the heart of the proprietress more than the previous politeness, and the women were often attracted by this unpretentious tone, although the proprietress liked Seser at first sight, but she was also an old Jianghu, and the reason why she repeatedly did not talk about the point was also a doubt, because the current Jalal was actually not peaceful, what if this noble guest who opened his mouth to inquire about the news was actually a palace agent? Of course, the proprietress knew that this kind of royal conspiracy was completely untouchable to ordinary people like her, and she didn't care who became the king or who succeeded or failed, and she completely avoided this kind of palace conspiracy, as long as she could continue to guard this small hotel and be her Madame Madame.
But she liked the young guest in front of her so much, and her rough and elegant attitude almost fascinated her, and if she hadn't been over half a hundred years old, she thought she would have really been fascinated by this mysterious visitor. So as soon as Sesher threatened him to leave here, Mrs. Corn immediately became anxious, and she immediately dispelled all her previous uneasiness and temptation, and grabbed Sesher's sleeve and hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, I said it's not okay?" She spoke quickly, but her voice was very low, "because the other party strictly demanded my secrecy, but you see, I don't hide anything from you, because your shot is too generous, so I will tell you everything—listen, Princess Luther and a foreign knight came to my inn last night." Oh my God! The princess is so dark, so tall, so strong! I have seen with my own eyes this time, the only princess in our country looks so much like a real man!"
