Celine didn't know who it was, but she hoped from the bottom of her heart that the princess would not hear it.

She bravely looked up at Cecilia, and Cecilia's eyes were fixed on the leader of the other team.

Celine knew this nobleman. He was the little Prince Mel, who was forcibly brought back to the palace by the princess half a year ago.

Is it this colleague?

Celine suddenly began to regret why she agreed to go out with the princess.

"Celine, come on."

Cecilia was smiling. Celine rarely saw the princess smile.

Celine quickened her pace and got into the car quickly.

When Cecilia got into the car, the window was already rolled up.

"Let's go, Captain Valken."

As Cecilia announced the departure, the two teams began to move towards the port of Vila north of Petra.

You can take a boat from Port Vila along the Moslaha River directly to Clifton Port.

When you go, just go downstream to save time and effort.

At the beginning, Celine was extremely nervous about being able to ride in the same car with the princess. Cecilia seemed to notice her worries and took the initiative to tell Celine about the people and customs of the place they were going to.

"The Port of Clifton is the largest shipping center in our Anatolian Kingdom. It is located at the mouth of the Moslaha River, and the people there rely on transportation and fishing for their livelihood."

Celine listened attentively.

"Five hundred years ago, Clifton Harbor was known as the most dangerous place in the world because the Moslaha River was turbulent and flooded when it flowed into the sea, often submerging nearby villages. Over time, the local people abandoned the land on which they depended for survival and sought other places."

Celine was a good listener. "What happened next? How did Clifton Harbour become so prosperous today?"

Celine knelt down immediately after she finished speaking. "I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't mean to interrupt you. I... I was too engrossed in listening."

The road was bumpy, and Cecilia quickly helped Celine up, "You don't need to apologize for these trivial things in the future."

Celine sat back in her original seat, quietly waiting for the princess' next words.

"Some people gave up their hometown, but others were unwilling to give up. They firmly believed that there would be a way for them to survive there. Until the first lord of Clifton Port was born."

"He came up with a way to divert the flow of the river. He dug a channel beside the Moslaha River to divert the flow, which might help alleviate the rapid flow of the Moslaha River."

Celine was a little anxious, "Did he succeed?"

Cecilia shook her head. "Not this time. After the failure, he went back and thought about it again and again. Until one day, when he saw his young son playing with sand and building a house, he had an idea and led the villagers to start building a dam."

"Is it successful this time?"

Cecilia nodded. "Yes, he succeeded this time. Every year when the flood is about to come, the villagers look forward to it. This time the flood did not sweep through their hometown, and they spent the first year in peace."

"Later, the people of that time would reinforce the dam every year to maintain the smooth flow of the other river channel, and people lived in peace year after year."

Celine seemed to like this story very much. "The local residents are also great heroes. They defended their hometown."

Cecilia smiled. "Yes, each of them is very capable. Later, ships were invented, and the people of Clifton Port discovered business opportunities. They can transport goods to the elves on the other side of the sea and the Mermaid Island in the middle of the sea."

“Clifton has become more and more prosperous, but its residents still maintain their innovative, tenacious and kind qualities.”

Celine smiled happily, "I think the place the princess chose is really good."

Seeing that Celine had relaxed, Cecilia began to introduce her to the delicious food of Clifton Harbor.

Celine's rabbit ears perked up as she listened.

Cecilia couldn't stop laughing.

"Speaking of which, the princess has never left the palace since she was a child, so why do you know that place so well?"

Of course it’s because there is system information.

In addition, when Cecilia went to Mermaid Island that year, she departed from Clifton Port and stayed there for two days.

Most of the story I just described to Celine was what you heard in the local tavern, and only a small part was background information provided by the system.

But Cecilia would not answer Celine like that, "I saw it in a book in the study."

Celine showed an expression of understanding, but then she felt a little disappointed, so disappointed that her rabbit ears drooped again.

"what happened?"

Celine was a little embarrassed, "I can't read."

Cecilia understood, "There's nothing to do on the way. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Celine's bunny ears popped up, "Really?"

Cecilia didn't know if all orcs were as easy to read as Celine, who could tell the other person's emotions just by looking at their ears.

When the team took a break for lunch at noon, the food on Cecilia's side was obviously better than Mel's, and the aroma of the freshly cooked food tempted everyone.

In order to travel light, Mel's team brought less appetizing rations, such as milk, bread, and sausages that can be stored for a long time.

This is what Mel himself eats.

Mel's subordinates were well aware of the conflict between their master and the princess, so they were afraid that they would not be able to eat this hot meal.

Cecilia asked someone to send the extra ones to the other party.

Mel was not grateful, "Whoever wants her charity, I will starve to death and will not eat a single bite of her food!"

When the knight returned and relayed Mel's original words, he was afraid that the princess would implicate him.

Cecilia just said she understood, "He said he doesn't want to eat it, have you asked the people under him? It's not easy for everyone. If they are willing to eat it, send it to them."

The knights didn't expect the princess to be so easy to talk to and so considerate of them, the lowly people.

This time, all the food sent by the knight was kept.

Each of Mel's subordinates received the money very carefully, for fear that Mel would get furious if he found out.

In this way, until they arrived in Port Vila, Mel's men ate better than Mel.

Fortunately, Port Vila is not far from the main city of Petra, so Cecilia and Mel stayed in Port Vila that night.

When Mel and Cecilia separated, he was still snorting. Thinking that he would have to stay on the same ship with Cecilia for the next three days, Mel felt extremely annoyed.

Several of Mel's subordinates who had received favors from Cecilia came to express their gratitude and say goodbye to Cecilia when Mel was not paying attention.

Valken suddenly asked, "Does your Highness still have feelings for Prince Mel?"
