Cisco smiled as he spoke to Mike.
“Miss Lansi is the ninth princess of the current king. In the early years, she left the palace on her own and came to the Royal City of Romon to run this auction place. Now, it’s time for her to go back!”
Mike looked at Lansi in disbelief and said, “You, you are the princess?”
Lansi smiled and nodded.
“Yes, my father is the king of the Lieluo Empire, Roscolin III.”
Just then, Lansi whispered in Mike’s ear.
“This trip will take you to meet your future father-in-law!”
Lansi held Mike’s hand and said loudly.
“Help me carry my luggage into the carriage!”
The servants at the side did as they were told.
Lansi walked directly into the carriage that Mike had been riding in.
“Let’s go!” Cisco said to the crowd.
“Everyone take a good rest and get ready. We’ll be leaving for the Capital of Rovidius!”
Hearing that, everyone got into the carriage.
Mike walked into the carriage again.
The moment he closed the door, Lansi snuggled into his arms.
Then, she gave him a passionate kiss.
When the two of them separated, Mike looked into Lansi’s eyes and questioned her with deep affection.
“Lansi, why did you leave the palace and come to the Royal City of Romon to be an auctioneer?”
Lansi’s expression became slightly serious as she replied.
“My mother was a young lady from a rich merchant family in the Royal City of Romon and my father fell in love with her when he visited the place when he was young!
“At that time, he was just an ordinary prince. During the few days that he was in the Royal City of Romon, my father made a solemn vow to my mother. However, after I was born, he took me to the Capital of Rovidius and left my mother alone.
“My father never gave my mother a proper title. In the end, my mother died of grief.”
Lansi’s eyes sparkled with tears as she said this.
Mike hugged her and let Lansi lean into his warm embrace.
“My father…” Lansi choked.
“Ever since I could understand, I often heard about these things in the palace. At that time, I had the thought of escaping.
“Besides, my father didn’t care about me. I stayed alone in the palace and with only the company of the palace maids every day.
“In the end, I left the cold palace. Father gave me a large sum of money and I left that day without looking back.”
Hearing this, Mike asked Lansi, “If that’s the case, then why are you going back?”
Hearing Mike’s words, Lansi did not hold back her reply.
“A few days ago, I received a letter from the palace. I’m afraid father does not have much time left. This might be the last time we meet.”
Mike noticed that Lansi’s expression was not that sad. He felt that Lansi did not have any feelings for her father the king.
Mike continued to hold onto Lansi tightly as he listened to her talk about the grievances she had suffered over the years.
The two of them looked at each other affectionately. In a moment, their lips met in a kiss again.
…
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.
Mike and Lansi pulled open the curtains of the carriage and found that they had arrived at a small village.
This was a small village located to the east of the Royal City of Romon.
Although the village was small, it was not shabby at all. It benefited from being close to the Royal City of Romon.
The merchants on the way would come and go to this village before entering the Royal City of Romon.
Although the city walls at the village gate were not as luxurious as the Royal City of Romon, they were not inferior to Lecter City, which Mike had been to before.
A plaque that was not too big but not too small was hung on the village gates. On the plaque, there were three big words, “Fu Shou Village”.
Cisco was showing his identification card to the guard who was stationed at the village gates.
After some negotiation, the carriage team was finally able to enter the village.
The carriages continued to drive until they finally came to a restaurant and stopped.
Everyone got out of their carriages. This restaurant was the biggest restaurant in the Fu Shou Village, the Fu Shou Hotel.
When everyone walked into Fu Shou Hotel, Mike saw a group of people wearing Throne uniforms.
The Throne guys blocked the entrance of Fu Shou Hotel with an arrogant look.
When Mike saw these guys from the Throne, he could not help but think of the night he had killed Caesar.
“Don’t provoke them. I’ll go and ask what happened.”
Cisco said calmly.
Everyone agreed after listening to Cisco.
Cisco walked into the Fu Shou Hotel. Because he was wearing a black cloak, the people of the Throne did not know that he was a teacher of the Adventurer’s Academy.
“Guys, may I ask what are you doing here?”
Cisco asked one of the followers of the Throne.
The lackey glanced at Cisco and said, “The Vice Minister of the Northern Headquarters of the Throne died near the Royal City of Romon. The minister is very angry and sent us to investigate this matter.”
The lackey looked at the people behind Cisco and said, “If you know of or see someone who has used dark magic, please contact us immediately. We will give you a good reward! Do you understand?”
Lansi and Mike immediately understood the purpose of these people from the Throne.
Mike was not flustered at all because even though Caesar had died at his hands, the injuries that the black-robed man had left on Caesar’s body completely covered up his fatal injuries.
No matter who saw Caesar’s body, they could not help but stare at his terrifying jaw.
“If there’s nothing else, you guys should leave quickly!”
The lackey of the Throne said.
“We’ve reserved this shop for today. In a while, Lord Zakaithus will come here personally. Do you understand?”
“Zakaithus?”
Mike exclaimed this name in his heart.
“Isn’t that the name that the black-robed man mentioned that day? Could it be that he’s the old man who stood beside Caesar on the tower of Lecter City that day?”
By now, Cisco had already left.
Although the strength of Adventurer Academy was enough to contend with the Throne, their goal this time was not to oppose the Throne.
So, Cisco led the group to another hotel.
The group boarded their carriages again, and the team of carriages once again headed to a new place.
After traveling for a while, they finally stopped. They had arrived at a restaurant called Elegant Court Hotel.
Although it was not as good as the Fu Shou Hotel, it looked pretty good.
When they arrived at the Elegant Court Hotel, Cisco quickly apologized to Lansi.
“I’m sorry, Princess Lansi. Because of the presence of people from the Throne, we had to come here.”
Lansi replied without putting on airs.
“It’s okay. As long as Mike is here, it’s fine.”
The group walked into the Elegant Court Hotel and was about to book a room at the counter when the sky gradually darkened.
“Mike and I will share a room. You guys can do whatever you want.”
Lansi said.
Everyone who heard this looked at Lansi in shock.
“You guys have this kind of relationship?”
The other teachers said in unison.
