Cecilia walked to the corridor on the second floor and looked at Mel.

Mel still insisted, "You are Cecilia's man, who knows whether what you said is true or false."

The knight wanted to argue a few more words but was stopped. Turning back, he saw that it was the princess and bowed respectfully.

Cecilia exempted him from the ceremony and looked at Mel, "I think it is necessary to write a letter to Uncle Morpheus to let him understand how stupid his son is."

Mel was furious, "You!"

Valken was always three steps away from Cecilia, and when he saw that Mel seemed to be disrespectful to the princess, he stepped forward.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Cecilia walked towards Mel step by step.

"If you weren't careless, how could your subordinates get hurt because of you? You have no memory of being kidnapped, but you blame me instead? If you use your brain, you won't think that a princess of my country would do something that would lower her status like this!"

Meier sneered, "What the princess said is a bit ridiculous. If the princess hadn't often kidnapped boys of the same age to enter the palace, I wouldn't have suspected you."

Cecilia didn't want to quarrel with an elementary school student. She looked at Mel and said, "People change. I used to have poor eyesight and mistook fish eyes for pearls. I won't do that now."

The original owner's arrogance and domineering attitude was quite useful in some places.

Mel obviously couldn't follow Cecilia's words for a while, so he could only listen to Cecilia continue, "If you can calm down and get along with me, please come to the guest room in front to find me. I need to discuss the follow-up travel with you."

Cecilia didn't want to make things difficult for Mel.

Mel's main mission on this trip was not to liquidate the assets of Leonard's territory, but to follow Cecilia and protect her personal safety.

Mel knew it, and Cecilia knew it too.

If Cecilia really wanted to make things difficult for Mel, she could have set off in the afternoon and let the group rest on the boat.

Mel calmed down, looked at Cecilia's back, and then looked at his subordinates who were bandaged in the room.

The people who followed Cecilia disappeared in the hotel corridor in an instant.

Mel looked at the room Cecilia entered and walked towards the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Mel smelled the aroma of food. Mel, who hadn't eaten for a long time, was indeed hungry.

The room is not big, and you can see the entire layout as soon as you enter.

On the table by the window, there was steaming food.

Mel's stomach was rumbling. He was so busy arguing with Cecilia and her knight that he forgot he came out to find food.

"I prepared it for you. It's not poisonous."

Cecilia knew from the look on Mel's face that he must be very hungry.

Mel was no longer picky at this time. No one helped him to sit down, so he found a chair by himself and finished all the food.

As Mel put down the cutlery, he realized how ungraceful his behavior had been.

Fortunately, there were only Cecilia and Valken in the room, so I just let it go.

"What do you want to discuss with me?"

Cecilia glanced at Valken, and Valken understood what she meant and reported to Mel the whole story of his kidnapping.

He told her everything in detail, even the fact that Cecilia climbed through the window was not hidden.

Cecilia didn't understand why he had to go into such detail, but Mel tried to find some mistakes in Valken's description.

Mel didn't find any mistakes, but he did find a blind spot. "So where did the owner of this hotel go?"

Valken laughed, "We just moved. The information from the syndicate hasn't been updated."

After learning the whole story, Mel stopped being arrogant and stood up to apologize to Cecilia, "I'm sorry, I said some unpleasant words because of my subjective assumptions. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Mel's attitude was sincere, and Cecilia accepted his apology, and the matter was over.

Cecilia brought the topic to the point. "Your subordinates will definitely not be able to accompany you immediately. What do you think? Should we go back home now or..."

Although Mel apologized for his previous rudeness, it did not mean that he had completely gotten rid of his grudge against Cecilia.

“Maybe get a few guys in Port Vila.”

Before Cecilia could say anything, Valken kindly reminded her, "People we hire temporarily may not be dedicated, and you may not be able to trust them completely."

Mel naturally knew all this.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Cecilia had no other intentions. "Except for the four injured people, how many people can you dispatch now?"

Mel quoted a number.

"Do you think these people are enough?"

Mel thought about it carefully. "Just barely enough."

"I suggest that if you have enough, you should not hire more people to avoid more trouble."

Cecilia's tone was quite sincere, and it did not sound like a condescending order from a princess.

Mel said he would consider it.

Cecilia stood up and prepared to leave. "Then you should think about it as soon as possible. I hope to set off tomorrow."

Because of Mel's kidnapping, they had been delayed for a day, and Cecilia still hoped to set off for Clifton Port as soon as possible.

"So anxious?"

"Yes, that's right, very urgent."

Mel frowned, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was some new trick of Cecilia's.

Cecilia looked at Valken, and the two left the hotel where Mel was staying.

It was only 9:30 in the evening when we left Mel's place.

Cecilia felt distressed when she thought about being nagged by Celine again when she returned.

Seeing that Cecilia was unhappy, Valken thought that it was Mel's attitude just now that made Cecilia sad.

So Valken took the initiative to ask Cecilia, "I heard that there is a night rally in Port Vila today. Your Highness, do you want to go and see it?"

Nighttime gatherings?

Isn’t that the night market?

Seeing that the princess was moved, Valken immediately led Cecilia.

The night market in the Middle Ages was certainly not as lively as the modern one, but Cecilia found it very novel while walking around.

Valken followed the code of conduct of a personal knight. If Cecilia's eyes lingered on an object for a while, Valken would take out gold coins to pay.

Originally, Valken was the only one following Cecilia to the party, but since some time ago, two knights in plain clothes carrying large and small bags appeared behind Valken.

Cecilia couldn't help feeling embarrassed because she made the other person work overtime because of her momentary playfulness.

Even though there is no concept of overtime in this world.

But Cecilia, a modern person, said—

Let’s refuse to work overtime, starting with me.

So Cecilia immediately said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Seeing that Cecilia's mood had improved, Valken thought that the princess was so easy to please.
