At that time, he looked into Philip's eyes and said, "The Southern Temple has a big man eyeing you, you have to be careful." ”

But no matter how much Philip asked, Leonardo would never say half a word.

There is also a very important figure, and that is Murphy.

Eventually, he and Alexandra returned to the mountains, and with Philip's help, he set up his own camp, agreeing to follow Philip for the time being, taking care of some of his secret business.

Of course, he will not do such a conscientious thing as child trafficking, but for example, smuggling and other transactions, he can be regarded as familiar with the road, but it is just starting out, and it takes time to accumulate and grow.

At this point, the light and dark lines around Philip are clearly sorted out, and each performs its own duties.

The only thing that surprised him a little was that about fifteen days after the assassination, two people suddenly appeared in front of him.

One was Peter, who had been left behind to study with White, and when he stood in front of him, Philip almost didn't dare to recognize him.

For more than a year, this young man looks a lot calmer, and with the casual dress on his body and the little vicissitudes brought by the journey, he looks more like a scholar who has traveled abroad, which is completely different from the country boy who looked like a gangster back then.

It's just that his face is a little ugly, and there is some blame in his eyes when he looks at Philip.

This is a rare situation in Peter, who has always been kind and cheerful, which shows how dissatisfied Yun'er is with the injury.

Philip touched his nose and didn't defend himself, but hugged his brother, who looked much more mature, and said, "Go and see her, she often thinks of you this year, and the band hasn't been active a few times, saying that there is one less person, it doesn't feel right." ”

When Peter saw the wounds on his chest and neck, he realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said with concern: "You also take care, and mourn and change." ”

"Thank you, go up first, come back this time for a few more days, I have a lot to say to you. Philip nodded, took him by the shoulder, and walked to Yun'er's room.

The appearance of another uninvited guest surprised him a little, and the scene was a little grand.

When he heard Barton's report that the Marquis de Noe and his grandfather Brad had accompanied the distinguished guests, he was quite surprised, and then hurriedly changed into a formal dress and went downstairs to the parlor.

It wasn't until he got closer that the man gracefully put down the teacup in his hand, glared at him fiercely with his beautiful eyes, and said bitterly, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

Philip didn't stupidly ask you why you came to such a question, then you would be too nagging and deserve to be single for the rest of your life.

Ignoring the strange look of the Marquis Nouveau, he gave the woman a warm hug amid Brad's snickering, and in any case, after learning of his assassination, he came from all over the world to see him, and this affection was worthy of this hug.

"Welcome to Gokan City, Sophia. ”

The person who came suddenly was Her Royal Highness Sophia, the princess of the Wardsman Empire, and calculated the time, she must have boarded the train the day after she got the news, which made Philip a little moved.

The travel of an imperial princess, especially to the edge of the empire, is a big event, and it is naturally impossible to carry a bag and go on a journey like Peter.

Sophia was wearing a black dress with a short blue coat on it, which was elegant and noble, and there was no ornament on her head, which showed her intentions.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you're prettier. He hugged the girl's soft body and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Sophia had already stretched out her right hand and waited for him to kiss her, but she didn't expect Philip to hug her directly, until now her face was still red, and her heart was beating fast.

Count Noe is an old man, so he naturally knows what to do at this time, so he gave his old friend a teasing look, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness Sophia, you can rest for a while, and I will pick you up for the welcome banquet in the evening." ”

Sophia let go of her lover and politely refused: "This time Gaokan City suddenly changed, and it is not suitable for a banquet, Grandpa Sean's kindness Sophia understands it, and she can't add trouble to you anymore." ”

Marquis Noh persuaded several more times before he nodded under Sophia's repeated refusals: "That's fine, but the hotel has prepared a suite for you, and Bedrie will be responsible for all your trips in the past few days, and if you need anything, you can directly order him."

In another three days, I hope you can take a walk around the master group.

When the warriors hear that the Imperial Princess is coming, they can't wait to see you. ”

This is the proper meaning of the title, and it can't be declared to the outside world that the princess of the empire traveled across most of the country to visit her lover.

As for Bedri, he is the eldest son of Marquis No, in fact, the division commander of the Rock Division, Old Sean has not been as energetic as before in the past two years, and he has already begun to hand over the shift.

Sophia made a half-squat salute and thanked with a chuckle: "Thank you Uncle Sean, I brought Kalitan and them this time, you can help me train and train them well, and save them from always being proud." ”

Marquis No, Philip also found that behind Sophia stood a tall knight with short dark blond hair and full armor, holding a broadsword with a proud expression.

Originally, he thought it was a guard sent by the Marquis of No, but after a closer look, he found that the other party's armor was completely different from the style of Gaokan City, the material and workmanship were much more luxurious, in addition to the golden edge strip decoration and the bright red cloak, there was also a red rose pattern on the chest.

Looking at her face again, she was actually a woman in her forties, but her figure was not inferior to that of ordinary male warriors, and she was even a little taller and stronger than Philip himself.

As for the appearance, it is surprisingly not ugly, but it is not very good-looking, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, bright teeth and red lips, and a full look of a girl and a man.

At this moment, she was looking down at Philip with a scrutinizing gaze, undisguised her contempt and provocation.

Philip was a little funny, if it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't have an Adam's apple, and the armor on his chest was a piece taller than that of ordinary men, just looking at the surface, he really thought it was his rival in love.

Well, although until now, he has not officially made a lifelong alliance with Sophia.

The Order of the Red Rose, which belongs exclusively to the Royal Order of Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, is special in that all of them, from the regimental commander to the ordinary soldiers, are made up of women.

Moreover, because of its particularity and the scarcity of numbers, the best of the best are selected from the elite of female warriors across the country, and their luxury is so extravagant that every captain and deputy squad leader is an awakened level warrior.

It is far higher than the equipment of the Four Masters of Gaokan City, and it is no wonder that they are proud and empty-eyed.

From Sophia's letter, Philip learned that this knight named Kalitan was a high-level warrior with a fourth-level awakening.

Philip looked at her without showing weakness, and even released the deliberately restrained murderous aura, which suddenly reached a peak of tension between the two, as if a small spark could ignite.

It wasn't until Sophia and Marquis Noe completed a wave of commercial hype and sent them off accompanied by Brad that they noticed their anomaly.

Sophia slapped Philip's arm in disgust, saying it was a slap, more like a caress, and then turned around and glared at Caritan fiercely.

Only then did the two of them put away their momentum at the same time, and said hello without smiling.

Brad naturally found out what happened just now, and invited with a smile: "Calitan, how about a glass of wine in my study, it's rare to come to the south once, and always taste my treasured wine." ”

Although Kalitan is a woman, and her position is only similar to that of the brigade commander, after all, she is a fourth-level awakened powerhouse, and she is also the leader of the Royal Knights, and on the whole, she is even half a level higher than Brad.

So Brad also showed considerable respect, and at the same time created an environment for his grandson to be alone.

Kalitan just wanted to refuse on the grounds of great responsibility, but suddenly saw Sophia's eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.

She also realized that it was no longer rude for her to wear a helmet and a sword in someone's castle, and if she broke into someone's bedroom like this, she was afraid that she would really offend people.

She nodded lightly and said, "Then a cup, trouble." ”

Brad led the way and gave Philip a look of relief as he passed him.

There's still a guy lying upstairs who can't get out of bed, and here is another one, I really don't know how this kid should deal with it for a while.

Anyway, he can't control it, and leave everything to this kid to solve it himself.

Francis and Matthew followed him to the study, and they were also a little curious about the muscular woman, and Bruce hesitated between Philip and Brad, and was pulled by Francis and slapped the back of the head.

Philip also had a headache, and asked Barton next to him about it, and learned that Yun'er was still resting, so he relaxed a little.

However, there are still good people in the family, Brad attracts some of the firepower, and Jane also stands up.

Jane had only heard Catherine mention it twice before, but this time she saw with her own eyes, and the elegant and dignified royal temperament in Sophia's bones conquered the old lady at once.

She took Sophia's hand affectionately, asked long and short questions, asked questions, discussed with her the changes in the literary history of the empire, and then happily exchanged views on the decline of the Astan dynasty, in a harmonious atmosphere and an affectionate attitude.

Philip followed behind the two women, an old man and a young woman, and praised his grandmother, feeling that there was really an old family like a treasure.

Catherine had already been able to get out of bed, but her arm was still bandaged and her face was a little pale.

Sophia insisted on letting Catherine sit on the bed, holding her hand and asking for warmth, and her communication skills were skillful and sophisticated, making people feel like a spring breeze, and she unconsciously developed a good impression of her.

Stephanie on the side looked at the concubine enviously, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, but when she happened to notice Philip's dazed expression behind her, she snickered silently.

Even after a lot of friction, she finally arrived at Yun'er's room, and by this time she had woken up and got the news.

Philip was grinding at the door and didn't want to go in, worried about who he would help in a fight, no matter how wise and decisive his combat strength was, he would have to be blind at this time, and it was useless.

But to his surprise, the two women behaved very affectionately after meeting, holding hands and whispering and laughing, even Yun'er's always cold little face was smiling brightly at the moment.

One sincerely wishes her sister a speedy recovery, and the other sincerely thanks Her Royal Highness the princess for her deep friendship.

Let someone who is silently trying to pretend to be a dog can't help but sigh, women, are born to be actors.

However, Yun'er was seriously injured after all, and it was not suitable to sit for a long time, and after a while, Sophia stood up with interest.

Philip leaned over quietly, trying to soothe his heart and not think too much, but he felt a pain in his waist, but even so, Yun'er still had a kind smile on her little face.

"Hiss"

He let out a low cry, this was still like a wounded person, and the strength of his fingers was surprisingly great.

Hurriedly whispered a few words of mercy before rubbing his waist and walking out, not paying attention to the hidden smiles on the faces of Jane and Catherine.

It wasn't until half an hour later, after a series of trivial aristocratic interactions, that Philip was given the opportunity to spend time alone with Sophia, and the two of them wandered through the castle's gardens, but not hand in hand.

God knows which window wouldn't hide a grudge face.

Philip's exuberant desire to survive saved his life, and after learning that the two were not too close, a certain little brunette girl had a satisfied sneer on her face.

"How's your injury?" In the garden, Sophia looked at the rugged and tough southern scenery in amazement, which was very different from the graceful style of the gardens in the imperial capital.

Philip scratched at his neck, the fleshy wound a little itchy.

"It's fine, it's just a flesh wound. It's you, it's hard work along the way. ”

He didn't really want to mention this in front of Sophia, especially the Desperate Virus.

Sophia glanced at Philip with a smile and suddenly said, "You are a little stronger, although only a little." But your mother and that Lin Yun girl are missing something. ”

Philip was shocked, although he already knew that Sophia's ability was amazing, but he didn't expect to be so sensitive, and such a slight change could be perceived.

He had an idea, and instead of answering, he asked a question: "What is Yun'er's talent?"

Seeing the seriousness and concern in his eyes, Sophia couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but she still replied: "Don't worry, this loss won't affect her."

It's also strange to say, there are thousands of candidate saints in the temple, but the two talents you know are better than the other, and I am a little jealous. ”

"Who are you talking about, Anna?" asked Philip curiously.

He suddenly remembered that on the day of his arrival, he hesitated for a long time between two goals that seemed to be the size, and finally chose the big one.

Anna and his birthday are only a few days apart, it should be the other one, Xiao Nizi's academic performance has always been very good, and two months ago excitedly conveyed the news of the smooth awakening, Xiao Nizi couldn't help crying on the other end of the intercom, but he didn't guess in that direction at that time.

Thinking that he almost became a girl, he couldn't help but shiver and was afraid.

Sophia put her hands behind her back, Shi Shiran walked in front, and Philip followed behind stupidly, unable to see the charming atmosphere at all.

Until turning a corner, they sat down in front of a flower bed.

Winter in Gokan City came a little late this year, and the temperature has not dropped until now, and there are still a few flowers in the flower beds that are stubbornly blooming with their last hints of fragrance.

Sophia reached out and plucked one of them, played with them in her hand, and with the other hand, she took Philip's hand and put her little hand into it, feeling the warmth of being wrapped.

Philip looked behind him weakly, confirmed that this was a dead end, and then boldly held the white and tender little hand, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being a scumbag.

A smile appeared on the corner of Sophia's mouth, and she leaned on his broad chest with satisfaction, and said softly: "That little girl named Anna is very powerful, although she is not as good as you, but she is far better than the rest of the seminary.

It's a pity that her family background, if she can be like you, I'm afraid she won't have to wait until now to awaken. ”

"You didn't do anything to her?" asked Philip suddenly, and according to Sophia's strange desire to collect, it was strange that such a person did not gather around him.

Sophia's face was a little strange, she glared at Philip fiercely, lowered her head and did not speak, only caring about dyeing his nails with colored petals, and having fun.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Philip's curious gaze, and said a little annoyed: "I went to her twice, and once I was molested by your eldest cousin, and I didn't see anyone at all."

Later, I learned that she woke up smoothly, and I wanted to congratulate her, but I was driven away by your little friend, and I was very shameless, and you still asked. ”

"Drove away, she dared to drive you away?" Philip was a little incredulous.

Annoyed, Sophia threw away the petals in her hand, tilted her head with a slender neck, and said, "We just sat in the library for a while, and before we could say a few words, she said that she was going to have dinner, and then sent me to the gate." ”

"Poof, hahahaha!"

Philip leaned back and laughed, this little girl refused to even invite a light meal from the academy, what a lame excuse, not to drive away, but to make people angry.

This is probably the first time that Sophia, who is the princess of the empire, has been treated so coldly in more than ten years, which is a great shame.

Still, he defended Anna: "Maybe she doesn't have the money and doesn't know what to ask you to eat." There are rumors outside, and there are also rumors that your royal family eats more than a dozen dishes at every meal. You know she's not doing well right now. ”

"You're still protecting her!"

Sophia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped him on the back a few times, and even felt disgusted, stood up and tore it on him with her hands and feet.

There is no elegant and noble princess style just now, but like a shrew, it can be seen that she is really stimulated.

Philip let her beating, almost like itching, far worse than Yun'er's gentle crit before.

Strictly speaking, among the three girls I have known in my life, although one is more powerful than the other, relatively speaking, Sophia is the most gentle one.
