Chapter 14 Trapped
"What should we do now?" Hiding in the fruit forest, Caroline and Leo were both worried.I don't know what happened to the Lost Forest tonight. All the beasts ran away. Not long after they arrived in the fruit forest, they were surrounded by a group of wild bears. If it wasn't for the things Caroline carried to hide their breath, Now the two of them must have been smashed into meat by the Earth Violent Bear.

Leo looked at Caroline who was leaning beside him with a headache, and didn't know what was wrong with him. He followed her in even though he knew that the Lost Forest was dangerous.It's really not good to be too curious. If I knew it would happen, I might as well go home and leave it to Grandpa to handle it.

Caroline rolled her eyes at Leo, and said impatiently: "What else can I do, just wait until they leave by themselves." It's really bad luck, it was supposed to plot against Leo, but she didn't expect that now she was also caught. Trapped here unable to move, if you stay here for a few days, who knows how long it will be outside, months or years will be terrible.

"You..." Leo looked at Caroline speechlessly, and didn't know what to say. Now he could see clearly that Caroline brought him in because she wanted to take the opportunity to solve herself. The most poisonous woman's heart, it seems that I have to be careful in the future, don't offend women, or I will be sold out at some point.

"What about me, aren't you a knight? If you have the ability, you can rush out by yourself, or just wait obediently. Anyway, I am unarmed, little girl, so I am afraid that I will do nothing to you?" Caroline sneered unceremoniously: " Or are you scared, Sir Knight? You were so bullish before you came in, why are you so timid now?"

Knowing that Leo didn't dare to go alone, Caroline's words were not polite at all. As long as Leo left her side, those violent earth bears promised to have a close contact with him immediately.

But this Leo is not bad, at least when he first met the unknown beast, this very chivalrous person hugged himself and ran away instead of abandoning himself.Seeing that he saved his life, I didn't care so much about him.After the beast is quiet, as long as he promises not to embarrass himself and the count, then he can take him out of the Lost Forest safely.

Leo shook his head without saying a word.He really can't do anything to Caroline now, because he still doesn't know what Caroline used to hide the aura of the two of them.If she hurt Caroline, she might die.It can be seen from Caroline who cruelly tricked him into the Lost Forest to settle accounts with him that this girl is not easy to get along with.

"Hello." Caroline moved her sore legs slightly, and asked, "Didn't your family send you to divorce the engagement? Why didn't you talk to the count? Could it be that you pity us?" She didn't understand What is Leo's plan? Does he want to annex their family?But there is nothing worthy of the coveted heir of a duke.

Knowing that Caroline was weak, Leo patted the moss on the ground, motioned for Caroline to sit down, then sat down slowly himself, and replied slowly: "That is their decision, not mine. .Who I want to marry is up to them to decide, but I will not just throw away a woman who is useful to me. Because I can see the part that can help me from your performance, so I want to observe and observe. "Leo Said half-truthfully.

Although Caroline is very smart, it is not enough to make Leo disobey his grandpa Duke.But if Caroline is really capable, marrying her will also help him control the family to a certain extent.The most important thing is that there is also an earl who is a brave knight. With the help of the earl, I believe that I can save a lot of time to advance to the brave knight.

Caroline smiled slightly, her eyes full of loneliness.Sure enough, there is a need for useful people to exist, no matter in the past life or in this life.In my previous life, I was able to become the number one killer because I was obedient, but for a man, I betrayed the organization, and was forced to jump into the sea in the end.I don't know what happened to that gentle man now.He should listen to his own words to get married and have children now. I don't know if he will remember this little girl.

Leo was taken aback by Caroline's lonely smile, did his words hurt her?That's right, with the earl's love for Caroline, he would definitely not let her come into contact with so many dark things.The news I brought must have hit her hard. No girl can bear the pressure of being divorced.If it wasn't for this matter, the two wouldn't be so tit-for-tat.

"Hehe, it's not all like that." Leo smiled awkwardly, trying to explain something, but didn't know how to say it.

A roar came from the depths of the forest, interrupting their conversation.The voice sounded angry and unwilling.

It has been a day since the two entered the forest. When the two came to the fruit forest, they did not see anyone from the Earl's Mansion at all. They must have gone out after picking the fruit, because there were only unripe green fruits left on the tree. .Fortunately, there are still these fruits, otherwise the earth storm bears surrounding them will starve to death if they don't attack them.

But judging by the appearance of those big earth storm bears, it seems that this piece of fruit forest has not been found at all. Why is this?Caroline looked around strangely.She couldn't figure out why all the animals in the Lost Forest ran away.Did something break in in the forest, or something happened in the forest itself.

Caroline stood up slowly, waved her hand to Leo who was full of guilt, and said, "Okay, don't explain, I understand. Are you hungry?" Caroline licked her dry lips, Looking at the fruit on the tree, he said, "Can Mr. Knight climb trees? Go up and pick the fruit. Anyway, those violent bears don't seem to be able to see us, let's move around and eat something, or I won't be able to wait until they leave." I can’t move anymore. Mr. Knight wouldn’t want to carry me out, would he?”

"Can these things be eaten?" Leo asked curiously, why has he never seen this thing before, could this be the count's hidden secret?It seems that the violent bear meat did come from the Lost Forest, so the thing called juice was also obtained from here, right?

Contemptuous of the backwardness of this world, Caroline said: "Didn't you drink the juice of this fruit yesterday? Why, are you scared now? If you don't want to eat it, please pick it for me, I'm thirsty." , I really miss potato chips and cola hamburgers.It's fast and easy, and the taste is not bad. It's not like now. Even drinking some juice is a luxury. It's really annoying. Which fairy sister made her travel to this place? Curse you for a lifetime of eating instant noodles without seasoning packets.Maybe it was suppressed for too long, Caroline couldn't help but began to complain in her heart.

After getting the answer, Leo stood up resignedly, and Caroline noticed that Leo didn't need to climb the tree at all, and he could pick it with just reaching out.Height is flawed, bullying her is not healthy, and Caroline can’t understand Leo even more. She gritted her teeth and took the dragon fruit that Leo handed over, and peeled off the skin in two or three times. Caroline gulped He took a big bite, without any ladylike image, and Leo was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen a beautiful woman, eat quickly, and stare at the bears outside after eating, the Earl will worry about me if I go back late." Caroline's mouth was dripping with red juice at this time, as if she had just As if drinking blood, he opened and closed his mouth and spoke viciously.In her previous life, Caroline was very concerned about her height, because she was always much shorter than her peers, and her heart was unbalanced, so whenever she met someone who was much taller than herself, Caroline would become angry.

"Hehe." Leo shook his head funny, followed Caroline's example and peeled off the dragon fruit, chewing and eating slowly.Now he finally discovered that women are indeed fickle, and what grandpa said was right.But grandpa seems to have forgotten to tell him that the daughter of a noble family also has such a side that does not care about the image, but maybe she is special.

Waving her fist at Leo, Caroline slowly calmed down. For some reason, when she faced Leo, she always became irritable for no reason, especially when the two of them were alone now. .In my previous life, no matter how much I hated someone, I would endure my anger and take revenge in the future.

Although the dragon fruit is not yet ripe, it still tastes very sweet. After a while, there are already a lot of dragon fruit peels piled up in front of Leo.This is the first time he eats this kind of fruit, and it tastes good.Now Leo suddenly has an idea in his heart to take these fruits for himself, but it is impossible with his current ability, so he can only give up.

Perhaps this is the secret that Count Flory wanted to hide. If the royal family knew about these things, Count Flory and Caroline would both be assassinated, and the things would be appropriated by the royal family.Such rare things, the royal family will not let foreign ministers know of their existence.

After thinking about this, Leo had already made a faint decision in his heart.Slowly taking out his handkerchief and handing it to Caroline, Leo said: "We don't have much hatred at first, don't fight. I will persuade Grandpa to give up the idea of ​​retiring the engagement, so you just wait quietly for me to marry you Come on. Although you are not very beautiful, I will not despise you."

"Who cares? If you want to quit the engagement, you can quit the engagement. Anyway, I never thought about marrying you. Do you think you are handsome?" Caroline shrugged her shoulders and retorted.

"Well, then pretend I didn't say it." Leo shook his head with a smile, and continued: "But I hope you think about it, after all, marrying me is of great benefit to the Earl. For example, leaving here Going back to the imperial capital, with my grandfather’s ability, it’s not a big deal.” No one would want to spend their entire lives in such a remote place with a shortage of resources, Leo firmly believed.

"Are the young couple arguing?" An abrupt female voice came over, interrupting their conversation.

Leo and Caroline hurriedly searched around. Besides them, is there anyone else in this forest?Caroline was worried for a while, if the secret here was discovered by outsiders, the Earl would be in trouble.
