Chapter 277： Reminiscing about the old days

"Your Highness, why are you in the Northwest Gulf?"

When he saw Irene again, Mond Langdon still had a look of disbelief on his face. He once thought that what happened when he left the Lord's Mansion was his own hallucination.

How could Her Royal Highness, the little princess of the Aldo Kingdom, be in such a remote place, and... and... it seems to be working under the local lord.

Hearing Mond's words, Irene pouted dissatisfiedly: "Why is Your Highness not His Highness? Senior, how many times have I told you that you can just call me by my first name. But...you have to call me Betty here. "

"Uh... well, Betty." Mond called her by her current name awkwardly.

Erin explained to him why she was here: "I was forced to come here!"

"Forced?" What could make a princess run away from home?

Immediately, Irene became furious, and said with her hands on her hips, very unladylike: "That old man Rodney XVII wants to marry his little daughter to the Duke of the East!"

"Uh... His Majesty the King, he actually..."

It turned out that he had run away from home, and he still resisted the marriage arranged by the king.

Mond was very surprised. He had never heard of it when he was in the Gabela Empire. It seems that the news was blocked.

He looked at Irene with more sympathy in his eyes. When studying together, although the status is different, Mond always regards this lively and lovely little princess as his younger sister in his heart.

well! For girls born in the royal family, their marriages will be more or less politically colored.

This junior of mine is really brave, and Mond secretly admired it in his heart.

Having said that, has the Aldo royal family been forced to this point? Thinking of this, Mond felt guilty and asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

"Well, I just want to find an acquaintance to confide in!"

So Irene also sat down and told in detail how she and her guard Liya escaped from the capital, how they went all the way north, and finally they were rescued by Paul Grayman in the woods.

Perhaps it was too embarrassing, but Irene did not say that she originally planned to go to the Gabela Empire, but ended up in the Northwest Gulf because of the road.

Mond heard that the female guard named Liya accompanied Irene, he was relieved and asked: "Looking at the situation in the Lord's Mansion today, Earl Greiman doesn't know your real identity yet, right?"

"Well, my alias is Betty Dias, and I'm staying here as a scholar."

"So that's it...then you...seem to be working in the lord's mansion?"

"Yes, you have also seen that when I came, the Lord's Mansion was recruiting talents, so I applied for it. At first, I was a consultant. Later, Earl Graham appointed me to be in charge of the education work."

"Education? Can't imagine that this young lord would value this so much?"

"Yeah! This is one of the things I admire about him. In the north, or even in the whole of Aldo, there are not many lords who can realize the meaning of this aspect."

"Hehe, Ai...cough! Betty, it's not that they don't realize it, but... It's not a good thing for ordinary people to know too much."

"Okay! Stop it!" Irene pushed forward with both hands: "I have no interest in those so-called [ruling arts]. Let me tell you, the six schools I have established are of course very elementary. My ultimate goal is to make every person in this land literate."

When she said the following words, Irene's face was full of pride.

"That's a daunting task!" Mond said, but he shook his head secretly in his heart. What was the lord thinking? Could it be that the little princess was being dazzled by Irene's beauty?

"By the way, is the teacher in good health? How did Senior Mond come here?"

"The tutor is in good health! I came here to take away a child who was recognized by the tutor a long time ago. Haha, you are about to have an extra student."

A look of surprise appeared on Irene's face: "The teacher has also been here? What a lucky child, what's his name, and which village and town is he from? I already know the place names here like the back of my hand."

Mond then introduced Kevin to him, and how he was almost exiled to the northern forest to reclaim wasteland.

"He is indeed a lucky child," Irene sighed again: "If it was later, maybe the senior would have to go to the big forest to the north to kill him."

Irene asked again: "So...cousin, is he okay?"

"Your Highness... how should I put it, our neighbors in the east are getting restless again, and His Highness led the army to deal with them."

Irene was both surprised and worried, and asked very nervously: "Ah? Cousin, he won't be in danger, right?"

Mond said with a smile: "Haha, don't worry, let's not say that Gabela's army is extremely powerful, just relying on His Highness's talent alone, nothing will happen and nothing will go wrong Sigh..." Ai Lin was still a little worried, "Damn wars are everywhere. The south is fighting, the north is fighting, and the east is fighting."

Mond suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you safe here? I heard that Earl Greyman and several other lords seem to be at war with the current Northwest Duke?"

"It's safe!" Irene said confidently. As a high-ranking member of the Government Affairs Council, she naturally knew the strength of Arda's army, and it was more than enough to protect herself in the northwest.

Mond reminded him: "In short, reveal your true identity when necessary."

"I will."

"Irene..." Mond whispered out the real name of the little princess, with a look of shame on his face.

Seeing the other party like this, Irene was very puzzled: "What's the matter, senior?"

Mond said with some hesitation: "If you use despicable means for a noble goal, what do you think?"

Why did the senior ask such a question out of nowhere?

But Erin quickly replied: "From the perspective of an outsider, this self-heating is a heroic act."

Mond's eyes lit up: "Oh? So you agree?"

"Not exactly. If it is someone who is on the inside, especially the victim of the so-called [despicable means] means, then I am afraid I will be full of hatred."

Mond's face instantly became dull.

"Irene, you may encounter some helpless things in the future, and you can only choose the least worst of those bad methods."

He could only explain it in this way, but these words made Irene more and more confused.

"Senior, what's the matter with you? Suddenly talking about this."

"I... oh~ forget it."

Mond didn't know how to explain Irene's words, so he had to cover it up softly.
