Chapter 48： runaway princess

After a short shock, the two beauties quickly regained their composure.

The blond girl raised her head, "Hmph, the Northwest Bay is the Northwest Bay, as long as they can't find it."

This demeanor, this tone, how do you say it? Paul suddenly had a familiar feeling. After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized, Aojiao, isn't this just Aojiao? Before time travel, I thought it would only exist in the second dimension, but I didn't expect to see it in reality after time travel, I was a little excited for no reason.

"Where are you two from?" He asked again. The tone was extremely polite, because the decoration on the clothes under the blond girl's cloak could be seen at a glance that it was not something that ordinary people could wear, or even ordinary nobles could wear. This is not something that can be bought with money, at least in Paul's As far as he could remember, he hadn't seen any nobles in the northwest wearing them. But it would be wrong to say that I have no impression at all. Oh! By the way, when he was a child, he had seen a similar style of decoration in a certain painting collected by Old Gleiman.

He vaguely remembered that it was a portrait, which depicted important figures in a certain country. This little girl's identity is not simple.

"We are from the Gabela Empire. My name is Betty Dias, and I am a wandering scholar. This is my guard Mary."

Scholars, and scholars? Paul complained, is there any scholar dressed like this? It's too suspicious. It's normal to dress like Miss Ladi.

However, he doesn't intend to meddle in other people's business. No matter if the other party is a noble lady who ran away from home or a descendant of the royal family in exile, she is free to come and go. If family members or enemies come to the door, let them handle it themselves. He doesn't care as long as he doesn't break the law, but if there are vicious incidents such as kidnapping and murder in his territory, he will definitely take care of it-provided that the opponent's fist is not as big as his.

Speaking of which, shouldn't a public security department be established to be responsible for managing security matters in the territory?

"Who are these?" Just when Paul was thinking about this, the blond girl asked out loud.

"Oh, I'm sorry, the horsemen are all my subordinates, and the others are from the Lichman Adventure Group from the south. By the way, it was this green-haired Miss Ladi who shot the black-spotted tiger to death with a bow and arrow, saying Looks like she's a scholar like you."

Feeling ashamed for a while, Paul forgot to introduce the person who contributed the most.

The two beauties bowed to thank Miss Scholar with perfect etiquette, and Paul was sure that they came from aristocratic families.

Miss Scholar returned the salute, and her gaze paused for a while on the blond girl who claimed to be a scholar.

The tall beauty asked: "Is there any place to stay nearby?"

Paul raised his horsewhip and pointed in the direction of Huxin Town, "A half-day's journey east will be Huxin Town, where my residence is located. If you don't mind, you can come with us on the road."

"Then trouble the Earl."

…

Everyone returned to the resting place, and Quiller, who was waiting on the spot, stared wide-eyed: This kid brought back two beauties after going out for a trip. Could it be that a **** plot of a hero saving the beauties happened?

Paul let the two beauties sit in the carriage with everyone from the Leachman Adventure Group, and ordered the entire army to gather and continue marching towards Lake Town without saying a word.

…

Near the evening, the team arrived at Huxin Town, the soldiers were disbanded, and they returned to the barracks to rest after free activities for two hours. Quiller Foster and everyone in the adventure group were arranged by Paul to rest in the lord's castle. The two who joined on the way The other girl asked him about the location of the hotel, and after saying goodbye, she went to the hotel to stay overnight.

"Really, wouldn't it be good to just live in my castle? It's so safe." Paul shook his head, thinking with a little regret in his heart.

He entered the gates of the Lord's Palace, where Philip, the Castle Steward, and Ford, the Master Seal, were already standing there to greet him.

Paul happily said to them: "Ah, you two, I have missed you a little bit during this time, but we have won a big victory."

The two quickly complimented, "Congratulations to the Earl", "Your Earl uses soldiers like a god".

"Is everything normal in Huxin Town during my absence?"

Manager Ford replied: "Everything is normal, my lord. It's just that the royal commissioner who left some time ago is back?"

"Royal commissioner?" Paul was taken aback, and then he realized: "Oh! That's Baron Hansel Abbott. I thought the baron was scared back to the capital by pirates, hahaha! He's here again What are you doing?"

"Mr. Baron was originally here as a representative of the royal family, but it seems that he came back this time to discuss important matters with you."

Paul crooked his mouth: "I'm angry when I think of his appearance last time. Forget it, my lord doesn't remember villains. Let's meet him tomorrow."

Manager Ford reported to Paul a series of matters such as the sales of new paper and the expansion of the paper workshop. The situation is quite gratifying. It can be sold so well in the culturally and educationally backward Northwest region, and it will be no problem if it can be shipped to those affluent regions.

Afterwards, the three of them talked about the affairs of Port Fuland, including the public trial conference, the establishment of the navy, the construction of ocean-going ships, and the opening of trade. After hearing this, Mr. Steward's eyes lit up, and he strongly suggested that the earl should establish a good relationship with this young Master Foster. As long as he can connect with the Foster family, Ardaling will be able to sell the goods to the commercially developed south. up.

"Then, I will invite Master Foster to come to dinner tonight, and Manager Ford will also stay with us to enhance the friendship between the two families."

Lord Earl decided so.

…

In a first-class room in the only hotel in Huxin Town, the two beauties rescued by Ladi live here.

"Your Highness, shall we set off for the east tomorrow?"

"Why don't we stay here for a while, what do you think, Liya?"

That's right, these two are the second princess Irene of the Kingdom of Aldo who ran out from the capital privately and her female guard Liya. After Princess Irene learned that her father was going to marry him to Veblen, the Duke of the East, she ran to the king and made a fuss, but she still didn't change the king's mind. The little princess didn't do anything else, and ran away from home with her personal female guard.

The two originally wanted to detour to the northeast region and go to the Gabela Empire to join their mother's family. But the two seem to be a bit lacking in talent in finding their way They even ran to the Northwest Bay while walking. Fortunately, the princess brought her private money and jewelry with her before she left home. The two of them did not lack clothes or food along the way, and what they saw was that the aristocratic dress and Liya's swordsmanship shocked a lot of unruly intentions. people. Even so, for Her Royal Highness, who grew up in a deep palace and was well-clothed and well-fed, this long-distance journey of more than half a month has reached the limit of her patience.

This morning, they suspected that someone was following them, so they rode their horses into the forest. When they got off their horses to rest, they encountered a black-spotted tiger. Paul and his party rescued them.

Although the experience of growing up in the palace environment allowed the little princess to maintain a minimum level of calm on the surface, her already exhausted heart was about to collapse at last. This incident of encountering a tiger left her with a lot of psychological shadow. , It is estimated that he and Liya have become the belly of the beast. Going on, I don't know how many dangers I will encounter along the way, but just returning to the capital to obey my father's arrangement, the little princess will not do it even if she is beaten to death.

"Let's stay in Huxin Town first. The lord here doesn't look like a bad guy, and the place is remote and the news is blocked. As long as it is well hidden, it may not be easy for the guys from the capital to find this place."

Liya thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "That's it, Your Highness. In this case, living in a hotel is not a long-term solution, and there are many contacts with travelers in the past. I will walk around the town tomorrow to see if I can Buy a house to live in."

"Well! Thank you for your hard work, Liya."

In fact, there is another reason why the little princess decided to stay in Huxin Town for the time being: with their sense of direction, it may take years of monkeys to reach the Gabela Empire...
