But before the two could talk for long, there was a sudden magic wave in the air. Lady Vasaki's figure suddenly appeared in the room. She frowned and looked around. After making sure it was safe, she let out a sigh of relief.
"You are?"
Vasaki immediately saw the Princess Royal Highness who stood up. She really couldn't recognize her.
"Flora Myers Bodinar. Many have come to visit the baron."
Lady Vasaki raised her eyebrows in a strange way. Then she suddenly laughed.
"Hehe, princess of the empire. It's nice to see you again."
The lady did not hold back at all. She pointed at the door elegantly and said, "Your sweetheart is coming."
Hearing this, the captain of the guards who was tending to his wounds wanted to say something, but he felt that his identity was not suitable. In the end, he hesitated and shut his mouth.
Flora's heart skipped a beat. She knew who the lady was talking about, but it was uncomfortable to let a stranger see through her thoughts.
The princess's expression did not change. She only smiled and followed the lady's words. "Greetings, Lady Vasaki."
It was necessary to have tolerance. Flora would not lose her composure because of a few words.
Lady Vasaki's lips curled up. She looked at the door.
"Thud — Thud —"
A rhythmic knocking sound came. Many figures appeared at the door of the hotel. He was frowning slightly, obviously confused by the scene outside. But the moment he entered the room, he saw Princess Flora looking at him. He also saw Yuna, whose armor was still stained with blood. He quickly understood what was going on.
On this trip back, not only did he and the lady build the teleportation circle, he also accepted the lady's suggestion and bought a suitable staff to use as a support. Although the artificial leg was perfectly made, it would still make many of his movements unnatural. A suitable staff could help him walk more steadily.
The top of the staff was smooth and suitable for holding. It was made of metal, and the bottom was made of wood. There was a metal tip at the bottom that prevented abrasion. The sound when walking on the stone road was very clear.
"Long time no see, Your Highness."
Many of them held their canes in the other hand, and bowed in a gesture of salute.
Princess Flora looked at the baron, who seemed to have changed a little. She didn't know what to say for a while.
"Princess?"
Zaliya had been walking beside Many. Her little hand was holding onto Many's hand, taking care of him like a considerate little maid. At this moment, when she saw him suddenly salute a princess — this made her a little nervous, and she quickly saluted as well.
The little girl was not interested in nobles, but she was afraid that Many would think she was rude. Her attitude made her seem more like Many's … lover.
Of course, many people didn't notice this. After all, this little girl had been with him for so long, and she had always been like this. Now that he had lost a leg, this little girl always wanted to use these actions to make up for her "mistakes". Many people didn't want to disobey her, and simply followed her wishes.
Princess Flora's words were stuck in her throat when she saw Salia. However, she had trained for a long time, so she quickly adjusted herself. "Many, I don't need to call you Baron, right?"
"Of course. Your Highness looks much better recently."
Many was very calm in front of Flora. Seeing the princess change so much, Many did not look surprised, but he sighed in his heart.
Princess Flora sighed, as if she was adjusting her emotions. "I will tell father about what happened today. Yuna and his warriors were very brave."
"Thank you very much."
Flora took a few steps forward and sat down casually. She still didn't seem to care about the princess at all. Her behavior reminded Flora of the days when she and Flora were still in the Sistine Chapel. She couldn't help but smirk and sit down as well.
"Why are you here?
Don't tell me it's for assassination? "
Many lightly played with his newly bought cane. His tone was so casual that it could even be called presumptuous.
"It's mainly about the Noble Parliament's matter with Oditore." Flora smiled carelessly. "In a few days, as the Baron of the Empire, you need to report everything you've done to the Noble Parliament."
"I'll be there on time."
Many of them sat up straight. Their frivolous expressions were all gone, because they could clearly feel the change in Flora. Many of them would change their attitude towards the person they were talking to.
"Of course, try not to use any ordinary methods to convince those fellows." The princess sat very straight, but did not appear stiff. That kind of bearing that had been cultivated for a long time was not something that an ordinary person could learn. "Father has put the decision in my hands. Although the outcome is already decided, you still need to show something convincing."
Many looked outside the hotel. The stench of blood mixed with the stench of excrement after the intestines were cut open. It was very pungent in the air. "Does this count as?"
"If I'm a noble in the Parliament, I'll come up with two hundred reasons to tell you that it's not, even though it is."
Princess Flora quietly placed her hands in front of her abdomen. Her eyes glanced at the wooden cane between Many's fingers. Her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Since when did he use a wooden cane?
Many was not old at all. Flora believed that he was definitely not older than thirty years old. This was because Many looked much older than his actual age due to the long years of exposure to the sun and living in the wild.
The princess's impression of people who used a wooden cane were only those old nobles who were old enough to be her grandfather. These people were usually very powerful, and their auras were much stronger than normal nobles.
When Many walked into the room, Flora had never noticed the domineering aura that made the princess feel like she was not facing an insignificant baron. Instead, she felt like she was facing a Count or even a Marquis. That kind of domineering aura made the princess feel that she had not misjudged him.
"Ahem."
Lady Vasaki was also sitting leisurely at the side. She seemed to be annoyed that Many did not speak to her after entering the room. She coughed slightly.
Many snapped out of his thoughts. "My apologies, Lady Vasaki. I'm the leader of another tribe in Oditori's territory. Let me reintroduce myself. The reason is … I need to talk to you about this problem."
"We've just met. My lady's beauty is unforgettable."
Flora nodded and leaned forward slightly.
"Err …" Many wanted to bring up the problem of Medusa's tribe. However, a group of soldiers appeared outside the door. It seemed like they were ordered to deal with the battlefield. The area outside the hotel suddenly became lively. This made him swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Let's talk about it another day. I'm very sorry about what happened today."
Many said a few polite words. After all, what happened in front of him was too sudden. He did not expect it. If the princess was like this in Sirius, it was no wonder that she was in so much danger the last time she left the city!
Of course, he was not interested in the reason behind it. Yuna and his troll warriors had killed so many people. Even if it was to protect the princess, as a foreign race, they would still be in a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Many felt that the goal of the person who planned the assassination was not just to assassinate the princess. It seemed that the real goal was to target himself and the trolls.
No matter what they did, it was still up to the Inquisition. Or rather, Flora's word.
"If there's anything, the Sisyphean Palace will allow you to pass through at any time."
Her Royal Highness understood that today's conversation between her and Many had come to an end. She sensibly stood up and saluted. After Many saluted the same, she turned around and walked back to the carriage. The newly replenished guards lined up again. Her Royal Highness looked back at Many. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end. She turned around and left.
Many bowed and saluted. They also did not say anything. They watched as the princess' caravan passed through the bloody road and gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Hmph hmph …"
Before many of them could turn around, they felt that their ears were being pulled. Needless to say, Madam Vasaki was the only one who could do this. However, Madam Vasaki did not use much strength. Many of them turned around with a bitter smile and said, "Madam … she …"
"I don't want to listen to explanations."
Letting go of her hand, Lady Vasaki did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she looked at the bloody scene outside the room and said, "It seems that someone is targeting you."
"Yes. I can see that he wants to kill two birds with one stone. If Her Highness died here today, there's really nothing I can do."
Fortunately, Yuna's timely and correct judgment saved the lives of him and his tribe. Otherwise, who killed the princess would immediately become a mystery. After that, the murderer would definitely be blamed on Yuna.
"Looks like we still have to be careful these few days."
Many sighed. They waved their hands and ordered the manager of the hotel to change to another place. The smell of blood would not go away for a few days. The bloody scene was not something a normal person could bear to look at. Although many people did not care, there was no need to sleep and eat in front of a pile of rotten meat. As a baron, he had the right to do so.
