I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 1067 The Mighty Crown Princess

The sun lazily climbed over the highest point, looking down at the wild animals running back and forth under the hills on the south side of Sasha Zoo, and casually cast a lot of light.

"Oh, God!" Mrs. Nasseri looked at the brown bear licking its mouth behind the double fence, her face turned pale with fear, and she stepped back repeatedly, "No, no, we have to leave here! It's too dangerous!"

Just now, the zoo staff told the Naseri family that the lions, brown bears and other animals here are not kept in cages.

They need to sit on a rail car and pass through the habitat of these wild beasts.

Mrs. Nasseri already suspected that the zoo was using this method to save feed.

The youngest son of the Nasseri family was excitedly making faces at the big bear.

After a while, Naseri returned from the entrance to the wild animal area, put his arm around his wife's shoulders and consoled her: "My dear, I have seen that the rail car is very strong and does not leave any gaps for the wild animals.

"I swear, it's perfectly safe to sit in there."

Seeing that his wife still shook her head, he had to use his ultimate trick and whispered in her ear: "We spent 4 francs and 5 sous on the tickets. If you don't go in, it's equivalent to wasting 1 franc and 5 sous."

The woman's legs stopped shaking immediately.

1 franc 5 sous was enough for the whole family to have two meals of beef, or to buy Anna a new dress.

No, so much money must not be wasted!

She immediately lifted up the hem of her skirt and strode towards the railway car with a look of ready death.

The ticket collector poked holes in the ticket stub handed to him by Nasseri and signaled them to sit down in order.

This bus is very similar to the common buses in Paris, but it is more than half the size and can accommodate 30 tourists.

Mrs. Nasseri knocked cautiously on the wall of the carriage, and only felt relieved when she confirmed that it was a hardwood board about the same thickness as a horizontal soup spoon.

Just as they sat down next to two people dressed as nobles, they saw a sturdy man get on the car. He glanced sharply at every passenger and then nodded behind him.

A dozen young people in various clothes immediately rushed in and filled all the remaining seats.

Then, Mrs. Nasseri saw a well-proportioned young man with his hat pulled down low walk into the carriage.

Next to him was a young woman wearing a light blue Bonnet hat. Although her face was covered with tulle, her delicate features could still be vaguely seen, as if carefully outlined by a painter.

The two young men did not sit down in order, but sat down in the empty seat to the left of the muscular man, which was in the front middle of the carriage and was obviously reserved for this purpose.

In contrast to Mrs. Nasseri's nervousness, the girl who had just gotten in was very excited. She leaned her head out of the car window to look at the beast and even tried to open the glass window.

Fortunately, the glass window was fixed, and Mrs. Nasseri breathed a sigh of relief.

The staff at the front of the carriage blew a whistle. The people on the wooden tower next to it immediately waved a flag to the east. Then, black smoke began to rise in the distance, and the rope in front of the rail car gradually straightened and began to move forward slowly.

The staff member shouted, "Please sit tight. The tour bus we are riding is towed by a steam engine over 200 meters away, so these beasts cannot cause any harm to us."

The rail car drove through two fence gates and entered the wild animal area.

Several brown bears immediately surrounded the car, looking at the people on the car curiously. One of them even stood up on its hind legs and roared at the car in a protest.

The passengers on the train had never seen such a scene before, and exclamations and screams instantly filled the entire carriage.

The noble girl in the light blue hat pointed at the roaring brown bear and said excitedly to the young man next to her: "Vassily! It's Vasily, I know it!" Yes, she is the owner of this zoo, Ms. Alexandra.

And that brown bear was the dowry she brought from St. Petersburg.

Joseph smiled and pulled her arm, signaling her to speak more quietly.

Kesood also looked around nervously. Fortunately, the tourists in the car were paying attention to the brown bear and no one heard what the Crown Princess said.

He had originally wanted to charter a tour bus for the Crown Prince, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that the bus was quite empty, he got in directly.

He had no choice but to let his guards, who had changed into casual clothes, fill up most of the carriage.

In fact, the ones who suffered the most were the dozens of guards who were secretly protecting him from the outside. They watched helplessly as the crown prince entered the beast area, but they were unable to continue to set up a cordon around him.

The tour bus continued to move forward and passed through one fence gate after another. Various giant beasts showed their cold teeth to the tourists from time to time.

The zoo staff also got busy: "These are crocodiles... That's a jaguar over there... Oh, this is an Amur tiger from Siberia, they can easily eat human bones as French fries."

Well, this kind of "scare culture" is very popular in this era. Even in children's fairy tales, there are often plots of dismemberment or cannibalism.

The screams in the carriage were getting louder and louder, never stopping for a moment.

In this era without television, the tourists on the bus, including the nobles, were seeing these ferocious beasts for the first time. Their adrenaline was rushing and they felt that the tickets were well worth it.

When the tour bus entered an area with dense grass, several sturdy lions slowly surrounded it.

"Oh, this is a lion from the West African savannah..."

The staff member had just said half of his words when a huge brown shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes behind the tour bus, leaped high, and grabbed the wooden side wall of the bus with its front paws.

It is a huge lion.

This time even the staff were so frightened that they screamed out loud.

The lion seemed very dissatisfied with the "monster" that broke into its territory. It grabbed it hard a few times, but seeing no effect, it had to jump away in disappointment.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the lion turned around and saw the sharp eyes of Ksode. Its mane stood up, and it growled and pounced again.

The beast had obviously never seen glass before and thought there was nothing there, so it slammed its huge head against the car window with a bang.

The thick glass shattered instantly. The captain of the guards jumped back reflexively, thus avoiding being hurt by the glass shards.

The bloodstained Xiong Shi became more and more angry. He caught up with the tour bus in a few steps, squatted down, jumped up, and grabbed the car with his claws. He poked his huge head in through the broken window and roared: "Ugh—"

Ksode was shocked and reached for the pistols at his waist at the same time as his bodyguards.

Joseph frowned and was about to comfort Alexandra not to be afraid, but he saw the little girl suddenly stand up and stand between him and the lion without hesitation.

"Be careful……"

As soon as Joseph uttered a word, the Crown Princess glared at the bared lion and yelled at him like she was scolding a puppy: "Get out! You rude fellow, or I'll smash your nose!"
