Although there were some twists and turns, Lulunaka and the rest still managed to leave the pier safely.
Although the official who inspected the documents and the carriage had an expression of disbelief in the end, he seemed to have accepted such a shocking matter — at least on the surface.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he had to believe that this was a fact — whether it was Lulunaka's words, Julius's response and attitude, or even Romuona's laughter, it all seemed too real. There was no sign of hypocrisy. The impression and feeling that Lulunaka gave him was actually a little like a 'mother'. Of course, it could also be his misconception; Julius's reaction and slightly angry expression also seemed like a son. At least, the children of officials also had such a rebellious attitude in their youth.
As for Romuona, that loud laughter did not make people suspect that they could not continue with their acting, but more like they were enjoying it.
No matter whether Lulunaka and the rest were a family of three, the official had already confirmed one thing, and there was no need to keep them for inspection.
This huge carriage did not contain anything suspicious, and with the permission of the merchant, this was the main reason why the official allowed them to pass. Lulunaka's appearance and age was just a coincidence that made him understand that there were still all kinds of strange things in this world.
No matter what the official thought, he still had his own work to do. Although it was winter now, but the fleets, caravans and merchants going back and forth between the King's Castle and this place would not decrease because of this. No matter what time it was, he was always busy.
The official threw the strange carriage and the strange family of three to the back of his mind.
And this strange family of three was now sitting in the carriage and walking around this town.
A town with a harbor and pier would not appear to be dilapidated. It was the same here. The wheels of the carriage turned on the stone road, constantly rubbing and colliding with the gaps between the bricks.
Julius who was driving the carriage still had a bitter expression on his face, without a hint of a smile. As for the other two ladies, they were laughing happily. Even after leaving the pier, they still had smiles on their faces.
"Is it really that funny?"
Julius could not help but ask. It was not clear whether he was asking about Lulunaka or Romuona.
Lulunaka was lying on the roof, her head looking down, staring at Julius's head. "This is not funny, but it is very interesting."
"This kind of lie that can be seen at a glance, only makes oneself look very ridiculous!"
Julius was still unable to accept Lulunaka's sudden fabrication of this ridiculous and absurd relationship — even if Lulunaka was indeed old enough to be his mother, or even his ancestor, there was no problem..
"Mother is not good?"
Lurunaka's voice was very clear, like a child's. Because of this, the words coming out of her mouth didn't match her appearance. It was very strange.
"Children without mothers are like weeds on the grassland. No one will cherish them."
"That's not what I care about." Julius sighed helplessly.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Romuona from the corner of his eyes.
Romuona was still laughing, as if she had heard a very funny joke.
"Is it that funny?" Julius could not help but ask.
Romuona laughed until some tears came out. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked, "Is it always like this?"
Julius did not immediately respond. After a while, he realized that Romuona was asking if they were always like this when they went out.
Thinking of the matter of him and Pasta pretending to be uncle and nephew, Julius's face still did not change for the better.
Pasta probably did not care, but Julius was not so free and easy. It took a long time for him to adapt to this role — at least he remembered to call Pasta uncle in front of others.
But now, there was a big change in the situation.
It was not easy for him to adapt to this role, but just now, because of Lulunaka's words, it was all ruined.
His cousin became his mother, this was not something that could be accepted with a smile. Moreover, it was a girl who looked younger than him who became his mother … Julius never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
Thinking back to what happened just now, Julius realized that he felt angry because there seemed to be no problem with this matter. Not to mention whether he could resist Lulunaka, Lulunaka could indeed be his mother.
This fact was a little unacceptable to Julius.
Julius did not answer Romuona's question. Romuona was also very patient and did not continue to ask.
Until Julius was finally willing to speak, "She always plays with others like this. I'm used to it."
Julius did not lie. He was indeed used to Lulunaka's various unreasonable and absurd requests. Or, since he was hung under the sea corner and was hit by the waves for more than a month, he did not have such a temper.
Romuona looked thoughtful, "Is it usually like this?"
Julius nodded.
Romuona turned her head and looked at the surrounding streets. She did not continue to look at Julius, "I'm a little envious."
Julius thought that he had heard wrongly. He turned his head to look at Romuona, only to see Romuona's side profile.
He immediately turned his head and continued to look straight ahead. He did not dare to look for a moment longer.
"What's there to be envious about?"
Romuona said, "I'm envious that you can always follow Lulunaka to all kinds of places, and then … I'm also envious that you can see different kinds of Lulunaka."
After listening to Romuona's words, Julius felt that he could not understand at all. What was there to be envious about? "Is this something to be envious about?"
He did not feel that going out with Lulunaka was something to be happy about. There were only hard memories and painful … Thinking of painful things, Julius thought of Olga, which made him feel depressed.
"It may be something you are used to, but for me, being with Lulunaka is a very new experience," Romuona continued, "So I'm very happy … and then I'm even more envious of you."
Romuona had been saying that she was envious of him. Before Julius could figure out what Romuona was thinking, Lulunaka's voice came from above again.
"By the way, do you think it's better to go to Nisia first or Busa first?"
