Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Imperial Foreign Minister Brett and his entourage left the Far North Territory early in the morning on the day of the Paraso people's harvest celebration.

Since it was spring, the roads were easier to travel on than in winter. There was also a magic circle engraved on their carriage to reduce the weight, so they rode at full speed without stopping. At around eight o'clock in the evening, they crossed the Fugan Rift and left the Far North Territory.

Originally, they planned to rest for a night at the Rift Valley Inn, but when they arrived at the inn, they found that it was overcrowded, even the stables were full of people.

"Mr. Loran, can you spare a room for the Earl? There is only one post house outside the fortress. You know that even the royal family cannot enter the Dru Fortress at this time."

As one of the five major military fortresses of the empire, Fort Dru will activate a large-scale defensive magic circle at 7 o'clock in the evening, and all major city gates will be under martial law. The magic circle will be closed at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the city gates will be opened again to allow people to pass.

Unless there are special circumstances, even the imperial prince cannot enter the Dru Fortress after 7 pm.

The black-haired young boss was leaning lazily on the counter. He had obviously just gotten out of bed and was still wearing a bathrobe. There was a hint of displeasure between his delicate eyebrows.

The tall mercenary standing next to him stared coldly at the team of imperial knights in the hall on the first floor. He placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and rubbed the magic crystal inlaid on the hilt impatiently.

"Your Excellency Knight, you have seen that our inn has provided accommodation for everyone, including the restaurant on the first floor and the place for short rest. The place where you are standing now was also full of people, not to mention the upstairs. The rooms where the Rhine Mercenaries live have been rented at a high price. You can't ask me to drive other guests out, right? That doesn't make sense, right?"

Roland's tone was relatively gentle, but the travelers lying or sitting in the halls on both sides could hear that the boss was angry.

But it is reasonable to be angry. Captain Aldridge has only been back for a few days. The boss and the captain are a couple, and a short separation is better than a new marriage. Anyone who is disturbed in the middle of the night will be furious.

Brett's carriage stopped outside the inn. He did not get off the carriage, but sent a team of knights to negotiate. Knight Commander Wade knew that the owner of the Rift Valley Inn should not be offended, and he did not dare to forcefully ask him to drive the others out. He could only speak in a negotiating tone again.

"Of course, it's not reasonable to kick guests out, but maybe someone is willing to give up their room? We can give them a generous reward."

"Please go ahead. The upstairs is occupied by your empire's relic scholars and students from the empire's magic academy. You can go there to negotiate on your own." Roland yawned and made a gesture of invitation in the direction of the stairs.

At this point Wade understood that there was no way they could get a room at the Rift Valley Inn today.

Everyone knew that it was Lord Brett who angered the Lord of the Snowfield, which led to the Far North Territory restricting the entry of imperial people. Most of the people gathered in the post station now were unable to enter the Far North Territory, but were unwilling to return home.

They were all waiting for the Empire to negotiate with the Lord of the Snowfields so that they could travel to the Far North Territory once more before winter.

In this situation, let alone giving them a room, I'm afraid that once they know that Lord Brett wants to stay in the inn, they will all rush out and drive them out of the inn.

The scholars of the empire and the students of the magic academy are not afraid of a count. They are a group of guys who are not afraid of causing trouble.

Just as I was thinking this, the people upstairs might have received the news, and footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.

Sure enough, after a while, an old man with gray hair and gold-rimmed glass glasses came down from the stairs with two assistants.

The old man was very gentle when facing the innkeeper. He said: "Loran, I heard that a count wants to buy a room at a high price. It's really generous. I wonder how much he wants to pay? If it's attractive enough, I'm willing to sell the room."

After saying this, he looked at the Knight Commander who was obviously at a loss when he saw him, and sneered: "In this weather, even camping would be very comfortable, wouldn't it? The yard is also occupied. There is a forest not far away. It would be nice to rest there for a night, and you can also hunt some game to fill your stomach."

Wade never expected that he would meet Dr. Kronro, a very prestigious figure in the empire, up close under such circumstances.

Dr. Kronro himself does not have any real power, but any one of his students is a big shot in an important position. Even Your Majesty was taught by Dr. Kronro for several years.

Although for unknown reasons, Dr. Kronro has become estranged from His Majesty, the Emperor still respects Dr. Kronro very much.

This doctor has a very strange and strict temper. Even the princes can be subdued by him. How could Wade dare to ask this gentleman to vacate the room for Earl Brett?

I could only smile and say, "How can I ask you to vacate your room? I'm just asking. If you really don't have any, I won't bother you anymore."

Kronro went downstairs just because he was afraid that these imperial knights had angered Roland without any reason, so he came down to check. Now seeing that Wade was very sensible, he said no more. After saying good night to Roland, he went back to the room with his assistants.

Luo Lan and Kronluo were close friends regardless of age difference. Kronluo originally wanted to accept Luo Lan as his last disciple, but Luo Lan already had a teacher, so the two became friends despite the large age gap.

After Kronro left, the Imperial Knights left a bag of coins on the counter as an apology, and then left the inn.

Roland stood at the window and watched the knights reporting something beside the carriages. Soon, two teams of knights and five or six carriages went into the woods not far away.

Camping in an open area outside the post station is prone to being attacked by flying monsters. Relatively speaking, the woods are indeed a good place to spend the night, but they are not completely free of danger.

But that has nothing to do with him.

"Send two boxes of paper and a can of snowflake candy to Dr. Kronro to thank him for coming to our rescue. Otherwise, we don't know how long we will have to deal with this group of people." Lying on his partner's shoulder, Roland gave the order with his eyelashes half closed.

After leaving everyone's sight, Aldridge picked up Roland and carried him upstairs, touching his left leg. There was a hideous scar on the smooth left leg under his nightgown, extending from the ankle to Roland's knee.

"Yes, my master." Aldridge gently kneaded Roland's calves to relax his muscles. Although he knew that his master could stand now, he always felt that just standing for a while would add burden to his injured leg.

Luo Lan let him move and closed his eyes comfortably.

The woods not far from the post station was indeed a good place for camping. There were many adventurers stationed there because the post station was full. After Brett's caravan entered the woods, it took them a long time to find an open space. They even had to pay some money to drive away a team of adventurers who occupied the place.

Although Brett's carriage was also engraved with a space magic circle at a great cost, it was not as luxurious and spacious as Xie Wei's royal carriage. It was only slightly larger than an ordinary carriage.

It was not comfortable to stay in the carriage for a whole day, so Brett had the tent set up and assigned the knight to boil water for him to bathe.

Even in such a desolate place, Brett was acting like a noble. When they were heading to the Far North, the knights did not think there was anything wrong with Brett's behavior, after all, they had Conrad's team at their disposal.

Now that Conrad and his team were left in Good City, these tasks fell on other people.

The remaining two teams of knights, who generally came from better backgrounds, went to fetch water and boil water while cursing, and they also had to prepare dinner for Brett.

After setting up the gorgeous tent that was not suitable for the wild, Brett lay comfortably on the couch, looking at the elf kneeling beside his legs to serve him meal. Thinking of the twin elves trapped in the carriage, he felt a little relieved.

Your Majesty likes all kinds of beauties. It is rare to have such rare twin elves. It is most appropriate to give them to Your Majesty as pets.

As long as I can please His Majesty, maybe I can get His Majesty to reduce his guilt.
