Chapter 521

Cecilia retracted her gaze and nodded in appreciation:

"I will report everything you have done to my father truthfully, and you will get the reward you deserve."

"Your Highness is too kind."

Sean calmed down and said respectfully:

"But I really don't deserve the reward. If it is the reward that is deserved and qualified, it should not be me, but Master Muen Campbell!"

"Hmm?"

Cecilia raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect to hear that guy's name here.

"Why?"

"Because the reason I did this was entirely because I took Master Muen's advice. Even my success in lowering grain prices was completely inseparable from the support of the Duke's Mansion!"

Sean puffed out his chest, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes:

"Master Muen is worthy of being the son of the Lion King. He is smart, introverted, low-key, handsome, elegant, brave and resourceful. His every move is full of noble temperament that is completely different from those dirty guys. Although the sinister slander of those dirty guys has slightly stained Master Muen's image with a hint of filth, it is obvious that his deeds deserve to be remembered by more people!"

"..."

Cecilia looked at the man who was talking in front of her silently, and suddenly she had some doubts. Is the Muen Campbell he knew and the guy she knew really the same person?

"But speaking of Master Mu En... he seems to have been out for a while."

Sean then remembered that the princess was Master Mu En's fiancée, that is, his future wife, so he said casually:

"I think your highness is a little worried after being out for so long."

"Worried?"

Sean suddenly shuddered.

Although the expression of the princess in front of him did not change at all from beginning to end, for some reason, at this moment, he felt that the temperature in the carriage seemed to have dropped a lot.

"Why should I worry about that guy who is good at pleasing women, who is nothing to me? Even if he dies outside, what impact will it have on me?"

Cecilia's tone did not change at all, like a thousand-year-old ice.

"No... I mean..."

Sean was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.

It is rumored that the princess doesn't like her fiancé very much. Is this true?

If it weren't too rude, Sean would want to run away now.

Fortunately, this terrifying atmosphere did not last long. A white dove descended from the sky, disturbing the extremely cold air in the carriage.

"A letter from the palace? At this time?"

Cecilia looked puzzled, and opened the letter that only she could read from the letter box of the white dove.

Then... Sean clearly discerned the obvious expression change on the face of this ice princess for the first time.

"Is my father... seriously ill?"

58. Small town

"Ah, beautiful moon, why did you appear from the clouds, through the window, and cast a clear light on my pillow?"

"Ah, beautiful moon, you..."

The dawn had not yet arrived, and the sound of flapping wings disturbed the melodious song.

The robin stayed on the branch, overlooking the singer under the tree.

He was a wandering poet, at least he had the temperament of a wandering poet.

His face, which had not been groomed for a long time and was full of messy beard, showed a bottomless sorrow.

He was dressed in shabby clothes, and the only luggage beside him was a worn-out cloth bag. He sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, looking at the moon that had just risen in the sky and would disappear in the coming dawn. He sang a poem full of melancholy with the xylophone in his hand.

"The council can meet your request."

The robin hid its disgust and contempt deep in its eyes, fluttered its wings, and said indifferently:

"But in return, you must complete the task we assigned you to do."

"Ah, beautiful moon..."

The singing continued, and the poet was alone.

Until the first glimmer of dawn appeared on the outline of the distant ridge, and the impatience in the robin's eyes was about to be suppressed, the wandering poet opened his lifeless eyes.

Those were a pair of gray eyes, as if they could no longer see any light, but he accurately found the robin's position and turned his head in his direction.

"How much?" asked the wandering poet.

"All."

The robin flapped its wings, and a small certificate appeared in the wandering poet's hand:

"This is your new identity, wandering poet Marvin Strymore."

"All? Hey, all!"

The wandering poet stroked the ID card in his hand, raised his head, and recited in a joyful tone with ups and downs:

"Ha, kind noble sir, generous noble sir, how can I praise you, how can I sing praises to you? Please accept Marvin's praise, please accept..."

"Put away your tricks, what we need is for you to complete the task."

The robin spread its wings, turned into an inky shadow, and disappeared into the sky, leaving only the last exhortation:

"Remember, be quick, the guests are coming."

"Of course, of course, what I am best at is entertaining guests, hehe, entertaining guests."

The wandering poet took off his tattered hat and comically performed an inappropriate noble salute to the disappearing robin.

After the robin left, the morning woods returned to silence again, the wandering poet stopped singing, and only the chirping of insects remained, echoing leisurely in the woods.

"Spring is here, it's so good, hehe, it's so good."

The wandering poet carried his dilapidated luggage and held a wooden stick he picked up from nowhere in his hand, walking along the rugged and muddy path towards the newly awakened town in the morning mist.

"Hello, I'm Marvin the Wandering Poet...Marvin Strymo, would any of you want to hear me sing a song?"

…

…

"Hey...Senior, it's broad daylight, isn't this bad?"

With a grimace on her face, Mu En grabbed the long black stocking leg that was constantly teasing her from the opposite side, but she didn't let go in a hurry, but carefully felt the smoothness and warmth brought by the black color.

Sure enough, it's still wonderful. Although Snake Tail does have a little bit of a different taste, it is not within his XP system after all, and can only be used as an occasional adjustment.

It is enough to suppress the snake demon once or twice occasionally. If it is suppressed too many times, it may become bald.

It’s really embarrassing, you have to look at the white silk leopard print...

"Oh, oh, oh, you can still be energetic. That little girl didn't just squeeze you dry before leaving?"

Anna held her chin, with the same naughty smile on her charming face:

"I've obviously deliberately left space for you, but it's a bit ineffective."

"Senior said this."

Mu En suddenly stood up, raised his chest and raised his head and said:

"Isn't it a bit too contemptuous to think that just one person wants to drain me of who I am now?"

"Oh? Is that..."

The slender black silk legs suddenly broke free from the control of the salty hands and drew provocative circles somewhere...

"Cough cough cough cough...forget it, forget it..."

Mu En coughed hard and rejected Anna's teasing with an upright expression:

"I'm on my way. The road is not good... not so good."

Mu En looked out the window.

Outside the swaying curtains, there are fields, woods, and mountains that are constantly receding.

Although most of the bumps have been eliminated by a special magic array, you can still feel the faint vibration while sitting on the soft sofa.

This is a high-speed carriage, and its destination is Belland, the capital of the Leopold Empire.

Of course, even on the carriage, Mu En doesn't mind having such an interesting exchange with her senior sister, but the problem is...

"Lady Anna."

Suddenly, a big bronze face with clear water chestnuts, a solemn expression, and piercing eyes appeared near the window. It looked truly full of righteousness.

His eyes first quickly glanced at Mu En with vigilance, and then quickly changed to a respectful look, looking at Anna:

"I just heard a strange sound. What happened?"

"Nothing happened, you were too alert, Kanazawa."

Anna had already retracted her long legs, smiling and pretending that nothing happened.

"Yeah?"

Kanazawa looked solemn again and said:

"If anything happens, please be sure to call me. As your deputy, I will ensure your safety at all times and will never let you have any accidents!"

"In broad daylight, what could happen to me?"

"It's only in broad daylight that some animals will be aroused..."

"Okay, okay, nothing will happen. You can go down first."

"yes……"

Having achieved his goal, Kanazawa glanced at Mu En proudly, then raised the reins in his hands, and the horses under him accelerated and went directly to the front of the team.

The corner of Mu En's mouth twitched:

"So did this guy do it on purpose?"

This is the real reason why Mu En is so calm at the moment. He is riding not just a carriage, but an entire motorcade. After all, Anna is now the acting leader of the Silence Agency. How is it possible to go to the Holy City for a meeting? Without subordinates.

Kanazawa, who had brief contact with Mu En last time, is also in the team, and he has now been promoted to Anna's deputy, and it seems that he is worthy of being reused.

"What do you think?"

Anna glared at Mu En with a charming look:

"Don't you forget the last time you punched someone for no reason?"

Mu En: "..."

It seems... there is such a thing.

Mu En recalled that after the Silent Moon incident, she was trapped in a three-party desperate situation and could only rely on the external force of Kanazawa to break the situation.

It's a pity that Kanazawa couldn't stand up either. He was threatened by his maid, the future sword bearer, and the imperial princess at the same time. He actually gave up on the spot.

too weak.

"How can such a narrow-minded person with no emotional intelligence stay by your side as your deputy?"

Mu En said seriously to Jin Ze who was disturbing his business:

"I think he should be put in some difficult positions to train him, otherwise he will not be of much use in the future."

"What, are you jealous?"

"Ahem, how can this be called jealousy? This is for the sake of your safety, senior..."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Kanazawa is just temporarily serving as my deputy this time. He has great potential and will soon be in charge of a branch. This is what you call training."

Anna tilted her little head and chuckled: "Besides, emotional intelligence is of no use in the Silent Agency. Here we only focus on will and efficiency."

"That makes sense."

Mu En nodded seriously, "In that case, should I just talk to senior sister about efficiency? As for will, my will has always been..."
