Chapter 29 Bragging
The news that His Royal Highness's troops had returned triumphantly spread throughout the town in no time.

In the morning, they had been talking about the murder that had occurred in the town.

Knowing that His Royal Highness the Prince actually believed the drunkard's words, they thought that His Royal Highness the Prince might really be crazy.

How could there be a rat that big standing upright, and not only steal things, but also kill people and kidnap a child?

The townspeople chatted all morning and concluded that someone must be in disguise.

They are still waiting to see His Royal Highness the Prince make a fool of himself.

As a result, in less than half a day, the team returned with the news of victory.

Such a big rat head, and there was also a white rat captive. Many people saw it, and they couldn't help but believe it.

After all, this town is so small, and most of the people there are families of knight soldiers.

Khanna did not stop them from telling their stories.

So as soon as they returned to the town, the soldiers and hunters started bragging.

In this age with almost no entertainment, their experience today following His Royal Highness the Prince is enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

"Haha, you didn't see that the forest was pitch black and full of traps.

His Highness took a liking to me at first sight and asked me to go on an investigation. As soon as I entered the woods, I caught the mouse in one go.

You know, I used to go hunting in those woods, and coming back there was like coming home."

George boasted to the townspeople in the small square.

An old hunter who had been with them walked by, glanced at George and said sarcastically, "You almost fell into a trap at home?"

The townspeople immediately knew what was going on.

"Hahaha, it turns out there are prey at Little George's house."

"Maybe I should put a trap at George's door tomorrow. Maybe I can get some meat."

"And then? Did you fall into the trap?"

George, who was bragging, looked at the hunter helplessly. Not only did he interrupt his boasting, but he also exposed his past.

"Well, I almost fell into a trap, but I meant well. I was just trying to scout. Who knew those rats were so clever?

Can you imagine? Those rats dig traps, and they dig them very secretly. The traps are very vicious.

It was just a little bit short, otherwise you might have to call me Lame George or Dead George from now on."

To be honest, George felt a little scared when he thought about it later.

A little kid looked at George puzzledly and said, "But you're not injured, and you don't have the armor of those knights."

"Hehe." George suddenly became a little cocky.

"That's because His Royal Highness the Prince saved me. He knew there were traps in the forest and knew how to avoid them.

He deliberately let the last remaining mouse go and told us to follow it. This way we could avoid it, because after all, the mice wouldn't step into the traps they set themselves.

Since bragging about myself failed, I'll brag about His Royal Highness the Prince. If I can follow His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't that mean I'm pretty good too?

George couldn't help but think so.

"So clever, you're worthy of being a prince."

George continued to boast, “And His Royal Highness’s archery skills are very good. This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such good archery skills. He’s even better than me.

In the woods, about twenty or thirty meters away, there was a rat this big, running around very fast.

His Royal Highness took the bow from my hand and shot it straight through the rat's head. He used this bow, my bow!

As he spoke, George shook the bow on his back a few times to show off.

A few children came over and wanted to touch it, but George drove them away. This was a treasure and he couldn't let these children damage it. He had to find a way to sacrifice this bow.

He also secretly pulled out the arrow that hit the mouse's head and kept it safely.

Some soldiers who had fought with them also came over to brag together, and many people started chatting here.

What His Highness is wise and brave, humble, very easy to get along with, and very knowledgeable.

"To be honest, this is a little different from what I thought." Ryan said from a distance, looking at the crowds of people in the square.

Kecha next to him couldn't help but nodded, only Blake looked a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"I thought His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was just an ordinary noble, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

The three were asked by the Earl to follow His Royal Highness the Prince to protect his safety and keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything excessive in the town.

The three of them had only heard some rumors about the prince in the royal capital from time to time, and did not have much impression of Kana.

When they heard the Earl's order, they thought that His Royal Highness the Prince was some kind of aristocratic playboy. They had seen too many of him, and there were quite a few in the Earl's territory.

But today's battle to exterminate rats in the forest completely changed their impression of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

I feel that he must be a true aristocrat who has been carefully cultivated.

……

In the courtyard where Kana rested.

"Aunt Sheena, please clean up the empty room on the right and let Miss Popot live there."

The woman called Aunt Hina was now very nervous, her eyes wandering, and she glanced at Popot beside Kana's legs from time to time.

A big upright white rat, even if it doesn't look ugly, is still too stimulating for a woman living in a small town.

"Don't be nervous, she's a civilized rat."

Popot also bowed slightly and said, "Good day, ma'am."

"You, you too, miss." Aunt Sheena stammered.

He quickly said goodbye and went to clean up the house.

Popot sighed helplessly.

Kana came to the hall, found a chair and sat on it, rubbing his eyebrows.

Aliris also sat next to her.

Kana looked at Popot and said, "Now we can have a good chat."

Popot nodded and spoke directly: "Before I was arrested, I was traveling on a merchant ship, recording the local customs and history of various places.

Finally, the merchant ship I took will pass through a kingdom called Saffro, which is your country.

"But it seems your country is a bit... well, cautious. Foreign merchants are not allowed to leave the port city at will, let alone our obviously non-human race. We can't even land at the port and can only stay on the ship."

It can be seen that when he said this, Popot had some complaints.

She has traveled to many regions and countries, but this is the first time she has seen such a xenophobic country.
