Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Outside the border fortress of the Heisedon Empire, near the Fugan Rift, the dividing line between the Far North Territory and the Empire, there is a post station covering a large area.

Because it is close to the Fugan Rift, it is called the Rift Inn by travelers. This inn was built about eight years ago. It was also since the completion of this inn that caravans began to re-enter the snowfield to sell daily necessities from the empire or other countries.

Xie Wei's carriage stopped at the border gate waiting to be opened, followed by a caravan that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. Because their caravan was so long, Viscount Pritt, who was guarding the city, specifically informed the residents of the city one day in advance that they were prohibited from traveling the next day so that the caravan could pass quickly.

Everyone was waiting for the city gate to open, and they didn't notice a blond knight holding something and slipped into a small door at the corner of the city wall.

He skillfully passed through the small door and entered the lounge inside the city wall, and then was led out of the city through a secret passage inside the city wall by a knight.

The knight closed the exit after he went out. A circle of white light flashed, and the door of the exit merged with the city wall next to it, and it no longer looked like it could be opened.

"Good morning, Kelly. What are you holding in your arms?" Hans was standing in the leeward side outside the city wall. He saw the blond knight sticking his head out and greeted him.

It was his turn to patrol outside the city yesterday. It was not time to return to the city yet, but there was nothing to patrol in this weather, so he came back early and squatted in the corner to smoke a tobacco leaf and wait for the time to go into the city.

Unexpectedly, he saw his colleague in this corner. However, he had a good relationship with Kelly and knew that Kelly was not the kind of person who would tell tales, so he greeted him and chatted with him.

"Good morning, Hans. This is homemade toast with bacon in it. Try it." The blond knight was not surprised to see him. Instead, he took out a leather bag from his cloak and took out a brown-black bread that was only the size of a palm but was made with very solid ingredients.

As the blond knight moved, the cloak in his arms opened a little, revealing a young, fair face.

"Oh! Isn't this your brother Noy?" Hans stared at the blond little guy and thought that this child was so cute.

Without chatting with Hans for a while as usual, Kelly adjusted his cloak, covered his brother tightly, and prepared to leave.

"I knew I would run into you, so I brought you a portion of breakfast. Noi has been ill for a few days, and the doctor we hired is helpless. I heard that the owner of the post station outside the city is very proficient in herbs, so I wanted to ask him for help, but it happened that the Lord of the Snowfield took His Highness Xi Yawei out of retreat and returned to the territory today, so we can only come out through the secret passage first. The child is almost delirious from the fever, and the doctor said we can't delay any longer."

"Oh, Mr. Loran, he is indeed an expert in this. He cured my leg injury before. Go quickly and ride on my horse. It is really too cold. I will give you my cloak as well. You can wrap the little one more warmly."

"Thanks, I'll buy you a drink later."

Kelly took the reins and cloak and didn't bother to be polite with him.

Watching the Kelly brothers walk away, Hans quickly stuffed the still hot bread into his mouth, and his mouth was filled with salty and fragrant taste after taking a bite.

Kelly's brown bread is really delicious, not hard at all, and the bacon is great too!

Kelly rode with his brother in his arms for about an hour before they saw the three-story post station.

There was a wooden fence outside the post station, and inside the fence were two young boys cleaning the stables.

"Are you staying or eating?"

As soon as Kelly entered the yard, the older of the two boys who were cleaning the fence came up to him. However, perhaps because he was a little dirty, he did not come too close. After asking Kelly a question, he shouted something loudly inside.

"Dad! Come quickly! We have guests!"

As soon as the boy finished shouting, a man wrapped in a cloak walked out of the inn. The man was short and thin, and he could be heard coughing faintly. His legs and feet seemed to be injured, and his walking posture was a bit strange.

Kelly was thinking how petite the father was, but he was stunned by the face he revealed when the man approached.

Roland was forced into a thick winter coat. The black cloak had a hood covered with white rabbit fur. His eyebrows and eyes were already very delicate, and against the backdrop of the white rabbit fur, they made him look even sweeter and more lovely.

"It's cold, please come in." Loran didn't mind the young knight's rude behavior of staring at him. He turned his head slightly and motioned the young knight to follow him into the inn.

"Oh oh oh, okay." The young knight came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. His cheeks, which had been numb and cold from the cold, began to heat up.

After lifting the heavy door curtain of the post station, the warmth that hit Kelly's face gradually warmed up his limbs that were almost numb from the cold.

When I first entered the post station, I saw many carriages and horses. There were indeed a lot of guests inside the post station, and almost everywhere I looked was filled with people.

The hall on the first floor was divided into three spaces, with a large counter in the middle and many shelves behind the counter. The shelves were filled with bottles and jars and various wooden signs and boxes whose uses were unknown.

The hall on the left should be a rest area, with many sofas and benches that look very comfortable at first glance. There is also a small counter in the rest area. There is no one behind the counter, but there is a task board there that is also found in other stations.

The hall on the right is the largest, with wooden tables and chairs neatly arranged. Nearly half of the seats are now occupied by guests having meals.

Kelly was still looking around as he followed Roland to the counter to register. The young knight had been to many post stations, but this was his first time entering an inn outside the fortress.

He had just become a knight and had never been out of the city before.

Unlike the previous posthouses, this one was clean, tidy and warm. There was no noise like in other posthouses. After entering this posthouse, the travelers were like wild animals with their fur smoothed, and they were lazy from head to toe.

"Hello, I'm Luo Lan, the owner of this inn. Would you like to stay overnight or eat something?"

The gentle and kind words drew back the knight's attention. Kelly looked at the too-young boss in front of him and somewhat embarrassedly lifted the cloak covering his brother.

"Hello, Roland... Sir, your name is very nice. I am Kelly, an apprentice knight of the Drew Fortress. I came here to ask you to see my brother Noy. He has been ill for many days, and the doctors in the city have not been able to treat him. I heard that you are good at herbal medicine..."

After a long conversation, the young knight carefully looked at the handsome boy in front of him. Seeing that he was still gentle and kind, and did not show any impatience, he felt a little relieved.

"Then please come upstairs with me. Mr. Benji, please keep an eye on the counter. I have to leave for a while."

The tall man who was cleaning the table looked up and shouted back, "Okay, little master!"

After Loran left, Benjy cleaned the table while listening to the noise outside. When he finished cleaning the table, he suddenly heard the sound of a group of horses outside.

The flags with a purple and gold lion totem embroidered on a black background marked the carriages. When the brothers Andy and David, who were tidying the stables in the yard, saw the convoy, they ran excitedly into the post station, shouting as they ran.

"Dad! Dad! Come quickly! The Rhine Mercenaries! It's the Rhine Mercenaries! They're back!"

When the people in the post heard that it was the Rhine Mercenary Group, they all gathered around the window to watch the fun. That was a mercenary group that had grown rapidly after appearing on the continent ten years ago. It is now the third-ranked mercenary group on the Lar continent.

"You'll have to explain to Roland yourself when the time comes if you let those people escape." Aldridge looked at his deputy captain with a bad look, then dismounted and rushed into the post station a little anxiously.

He has been away from Luo Lan for a whole month, and he doesn't know if Luo Lan will miss him so much that she can't sleep.

Benji watched as Aldridge rushed in and skillfully stood at the stairs to block his way.

"You can't go upstairs. The little master is busy. If you go up now, the little master will be angry."

Benji is a member of the Kuk tribe. He has reddish-brown curly hair tied behind his head. He is over two meters tall, and his muscles are bulging and hard like rocks. Once he stands at the stairs, the way is blocked.

Aldridge immediately retracted his move to force his way in, and after standing still, he didn't care how many people were around him, he moved closer to Benjy and asked him in a low voice.

"Will Luo Lan be unable to sleep at night thinking about me?"

Benjie looked at him expressionlessly with a straight face and replied, "Not really. The young master sleeps for ten hours every day. In addition, the lord of the Far North Territory sent a message saying that he has something to entrust you with when he passes by the post station. According to the time calculation, he should arrive today."

As they were talking, there was another noise outside the door. This time the noise was much louder than that of Aldridge and the others. When everyone leaned over to look, they only took a glance and then retracted their heads.

Goddess! This is the first time they have seen a living Parasol Berserker outside of the battlefield!

Excluding the slaves driving the carts, there were probably three to four thousand Parasau warriors.

But this is also scary. After all, the last time the Paraso warriors crossed the Fugang Rift and left the snowfield, no country could resist the angry Paraso people.

That was a race that was even more powerful and terrifying than the monsters. People who participated in that war still feel terrified when they think about it.

Although the Parassian army quickly withdrew to the snowfield and never came out again after the invaders surrendered and promised not to desecrate the snowfield again.

But their powerful fighting power still made the monarchs of various countries uneasy.

They feared the power of the Paraso people, but coveted the treasures of the snowfield. They had not stopped harassing the Paraso people over the years, but they did not dare to go deep into the snowfield to plunder again.

When Thrall led his men to the Empire to pick up Shevi, they took another road that only the Parasos could pass, so most people at the border did not know that the Empire had sent a prince to be a companion to the lord of the Far North Territory.

Outside the post station, Thrall ordered the caravan to cross the rift first, and he and a small group of people entered the post station.

Xie Wei got out of the car again, wrapped tightly, and let Sal hold him without saying a word. After his protests for many days, Sal finally left a gap for his eyes so that he could see the beautiful scenery outside.

Because he wanted to see the overall appearance of the post station, Xie Wei's head moved back and forth in Sal's arms, which led Sal to reach out and press his head on his shoulder.

"Stop moving around."

He actually just wanted Xie Wei to stop stretching his neck so much, worried that he might sprain it, but it was obvious that Xie Wei misunderstood something.

After saying this, Xie Wei became completely quiet.

Sal didn't care. He took Shevi into the inn and saw Aldridge whispering something with Benji.

Benjie was speechless, but when he saw Thrall, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Respected Lord of the Snowfield, welcome."

Aldridge had become serious again. He walked up to Sal and saluted as well.

"I heard that you have something to entrust to me. The Rhine Mercenary Group is deeply honored."

"Aldrich Mesfield?"

"It's me, sir. What can I do for you?" Aldridge noticed the person in Sal's arms early in the morning, but neither he nor Benjy had ever looked at that person.

Judging from the way he holds the person, it is obvious that the Lord of the Snowfield has a strong possessiveness over the person in his arms.

To outsiders, that would seem like excessive possessiveness.

"I want to meet your partner, the owner of this inn." The people of Paraso are not good at beating around the bush, so Sal told them directly why he came.

"See Roland? You have to wait a moment, he is still busy." Aldridge felt that it was a bit strange that the other party wanted to see Roland but sent him a message, but he didn't say much.

Benji, who was standing nearby, quietly clenched his fingers. The Lord of the Snowfields obviously regarded his little master as Aldridge's property, so he left a message to Aldridge instead of sending a message directly to the little master.
