His tone was brusque.He was prepared to fight the moment this conversation took a negative turn.Captain Himmel was sure that the young man in front of him was a spy sent by robbers, which was why he was so unfriendly.David, who was standing in the middle of the route, began complaining in his mind.If it was not for him, their Madam and Young Master would have gone to Hades. How dare they shout so rudely at him.However, David was not a petty man.He had decided to hide his identity, and it was unfair to blame the other party for acting rude toward him.“Hey, good sir! I’m just looking for a ride. It would be nice if I could have some help,” David replied politely.“Ho! You really don’t know when to give up, do you? Are you trying to get something out of us now that we’ve just experienced a big battle and are all wounded? Do you think I’m stupid? How about if I send you off your way with one swing of my blade?” Captain Himmel sneered as he said.He took out his huge saber a
“Captain Himmel, I said to bring along this young man,” the voice spoke once more from the carriage.He could tell that the Madam was determined about this.Captain Himmel knew she would not listen no matter what he said.In the end, he could only reply, “Yes, Madam!!!”After that, he turned to stare sternly at David.His eyes spoke volumes.It seemed to be warning David not to do anything stupid or he would suffer the consequences.“Young man! Be on your best behavior now that the Madam has allowed you to stay out of the kindness of her heart. You can’t afford to suffer the consequences if I find out you did something wrong.”“Don’t worry, Sir! I, David Lidell, have always been an upright person. I won’t admit to anything I haven’t done,” David replied with a smile.“Hmph!!!”Captain Himmel grunted loudly to express his unhappiness. He later said, “Follow behind the convoy! I’ll get someone to watch over you. If we find out anything wrong with you, you’ll get kicked out of t
The Madam had never stepped out of the carriage and should not have seen what that rascal looked like.Besides, one needed to take her status into account.She was the woman of the Emperor of the Great Quinn Empire.Even if the Emperor was now seriously ill and did not have long to live, his closest aides would not allow anyone to take his woman away.What Captain Himmel did not know was that Leticia was not Zion’s biological mother. She was his mother’s twin sister.Both of them looked too much alike.When Captain Himmel looked at the portrait that His Majesty had created from memory, he recognized Leticia immediately as the woman His Majesty had acquainted with.Leticia did not deny that identity so that she could accompany Zion to the Imperial Capital and care of him.This was the same reason why Captain Himmel respected Leticia and accepted her as the Madam, even obeying her orders throughout the journey.If Captain Himmel found out Leticia was Zion’s aunt, but not his mot
David entered the carriage only to see the beautiful woman hugging a boy of about ten looking curiously back at him!“How do you do, Madam?” David greeted her with a smile.“Please have a seat, Master David,” Leticia nodded and replied.“Thank you, Madam!”David did not stand on ceremony as he sat opposite both of them.Before he could speak, the beautiful Leticia spoke up first, “Where are you headed to, Master David?”Urm…This question stumped David.Where was he headed?He was headed to the level 9 civilization Leila.However, he could not tell her that.The answer would be frightening to others.“I don’t actually have anywhere to go. I’m just a traveler who has the sky as a roof and the earth as my bed. Anywhere is home,” David replied as he put up a noble look on his face.“What a carefree life you lead, Master David! I’m quite envious of you,” Leticia exclaimed.“What is there to be envious about? At the end of the day, I’m just a homeless wanderer who can’t be com
He had no idea that the places David was telling him about could not be found anywhere on this planet.David was talking about other civilizations in the Universe.David patiently answered each of the numerous questions posed by Zion.After all, the reason he was here was to find someone to chat with and while away his boredom.He was almost going crazy from not being able to speak to anyone for more than half a year.The question and answer session between them passed quickly, and it was soon evening.Under Captain Himmel’s lead, the team stopped and began setting up camp.The maids in the other two carriages came out to make dinner. Their responsibility was to take care of their masters’ daily lives.David and Zion had a lot of fun with their questions and answers. They had so much to talk about.Even beautiful Leticia was enjoying the session. She would interrupt once in a while, but most of the time was left to David and Zion.It was not long before they heard Captain Him
”Zion, I’d like to accompany you longer too, but there’s a lot waiting for me to do. I can’t help but leave. Listen to your mother and don’t be so stubborn, alright, Zion? You’re a really smart kid. You’ll definitely do great things in the future,” David consoled him.David thought they were mother and son after spending the last two to three days with them.Only mother and son could have such a close relationship.When there was an outsider, Zion would not refer to her as Aunt Leticia for fear that people would find out the truth.“I’ll be so bored once you’re gone, Dave!” Zion was reluctant for him to go.“Don’t you have your mother with you? How would you be bored? Besides, you’ve endured this on your own for so long, you can’t be unable to go back to your normal routine just because I showed up. I’ll be leaving soon, after all.”David finally convinced the little guy.He was done saying goodbye and was about to leave.Leticia suddenly knelt before David, accompanied by Zion
Where exactly did he go wrong?Did she guess it?Or was she trying to trick him?David could not figure it out.However, since she had already put this out in the open, he did not want to continue hiding anything.There was no reason to do so.So what if he hid this?What could happen even if he decided to reveal it?Who would be able to control his actions?David was now in a high position.He decided to go with the flow.If he was found out, he would just admit it readily.Keeping it a secret longer would not be appropriate for him.“I’m quite curious, Madam Chandler. How are you so sure that it was me?” David asked curiously.Leticia was delighted when she heard David’s reply.It was just as she suspected!!!She did not guess wrong.The person who had saved them was the young man in front of her.She was mentally prepared for this.Yet, Leticia was so excited that she could not help trembling.“Master David, if I told you I guessed it, would you believe me?” Leti
David gave this some thought.It would definitely not work out for him if he spent too much time escorting them to the Imperial Capital.Considering the speed of the convoy, if they encounter any difficulties along the way and are delayed, they may not be able to reach within three or five days, perhaps even eight or ten days.This would mean months. Who could guarantee nothing would happen in Leila during this time?Emperor Lufian was a ticking time bomb that could go off at any time. He had to rush back as soon as possible.“Madam Chandler, since you’ve discovered my identity, there is no need for me to hide it any longer. I was the one who saved you the last time you were in danger. I came here merely to find someone to have a chat with and cure my boredom. That is all. I currently have something very important to attend to and I don’t have the extra time to escort you to the Imperial Capital,” David rejected her as gently as he could.David was rejecting Leticia again.Letic
