They don't want me to try anymore.

At that moment, the widow was awakened by the two princes in her dream. She pulled the covers tighter and looked at Richard, who appeared in front of her, with a look of horror.

"Madam, you just dreamt about me, and you've already forgotten? Oh, by the way, do me a favor. Even if I can't be awarded a medal afterward, I can still purchase watches from your company..."

As Richard spoke, he began to retrieve the knowledge he had recently acquired from the God of Dreams.

Among them are spells that manipulate dreams.

He finished reciting the incantation, then looked directly into the widow's eyes:

“Come, relax, madam, listen to me, you are about to fall asleep again, and then you will dream of two people…”

Under the influence of magic, the widow fell into a deep sleep once again.

An hour later, Alice and Veronica also appeared out of thin air in the house.

Hmm, it seems like the new knowledge is quite useful.

"Finally, fresh air from the real world... cough cough cough, such a strong smell of oil."

As soon as she appeared, Veronica covered her nose, turned around and pressed herself against Richard, saying, "No, my nose can't take this! Could Your Highness please donate a little blood to help me salvage my sense of taste?"

"Don't go crazy as soon as you come out."

Richard reached out and supported Veronica's smooth shoulders, gently pushing the vampire beauty away.

"And this flavor is proof of this lady's hard work!"

Alice, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow: "So, why is it a widow's family? It doesn't sound good if word gets out."

"It's just a coincidence! Who told her to be the only one to dream about me?"

"Haha, I love the expression on your face when you're making excuses, Your Highness~"

Let's leave aside their playful banter and teasing.

The three of them were finally free from the Carefree Corridor and couldn't help but feel happy.

However, staying with a widow is not a long-term solution.

After cleaning up the traces, they left the house and went out onto the street.

Richard was able to confirm, based on the newspapers that no one wanted in the trash can, that this was a small town south of Connaught, and that they had been missing in the real world for twenty-five days.

Compared to four years, this period of time is not long, but considering the identities of the three people, it is still quite troublesome.

...It's easy to imagine that Connaught Palace is in complete chaos right now, and his father might even be questioned by Vanderbilt.

Therefore, the three of them didn't have much time to reminisce about the adventure.

First, Veronica had to leave.

Although she was reluctant to leave, considering the inherently unstable nature of pirates, she had to hurry back to intimidate her men.

"Your Highness Richard, see you again in a week, don't miss me too much~"

Veronica blew Richard a kiss, and red mist rose beneath her, transforming into a swarm of bats that disappeared into the moonlight.

"I have a feeling that something happened between the two of you."

Alice leaned close to Richard's ear and whispered something.

"Ahem... Doesn't Veronica often do this?"

"But you used to look down on her promiscuous behavior, but just now you accepted it as if it were nothing."

"Hmm...right, shouldn't you also hurry up and let the people at Vanderbilt know you're safe?"

Faced with Richard's abrupt attempt to change the subject, Alice rolled her eyes, shook the silver button on her dress, and explained:

“This is a short-range communication tool. As soon as I came out, I sent a message to my entourage, and they already know I'm alright. I also asked them to inform your father that you're alright too.”

Phew, that's convenient.

"But ultimately, it's not as reassuring as meeting them face-to-face, is it? Let's go back quickly."

Richard took Alice's hand and planned to go outside the town to summon Big Black to carry them on their way.

However, Alice was not moved by him.

"what?"

“...Richard, I don’t think we need to rush this, at least not tonight.”

Alice smiled knowingly and pulled Richard along another path.

At the end of the road, you can see a hotel sign.

"Are you tired and want to rest?" Richard asked, somewhat puzzled.

They had just had a good rest thanks to the blessing of the dream god, and frankly, they are in very good spirits now.

Alice nodded, then shook her head.

“I’m in great shape, which is why I want to seize the time to do some things that won’t be convenient to do later.”

"what's up?"

By this time, they had arrived at the inn. Alice did not answer the question immediately, but instead knocked on the door, woke up the innkeeper, and used a gold coin to appease his morning grumpiness, thus obtaining a room.

After the two entered the house, Alice continued:

“I originally only planned to stay in Connaught for two weeks, but now that I’ve stayed for so many more days, I can imagine how many troubles I have to deal with at Vanderbilt.”

"Hmm...shouldn't you be in a hurry to go back?"

"Yes, but once I go back, I won't be able to leave for at least another six months."

Alice sighed softly, took a step forward, gently hugged Richard, and said softly, "That means I won't be able to see you for six months..."

Richard was deeply moved.

"...or to be more specific, for a full six months, we have fallen behind Veronica and Luvia."

Time for touching moments is over!

"Ah?"

“Richard, don’t tell me nothing happened between you and them. Although I didn’t see it directly, there’s just too much evidence in the details.”

A hint of cunning shone in Alice's deep, beautiful eyes.

Richard remained silent.

The future queen of Vandan is not a fool who can be easily fooled.

"Sure enough~"

Alice squinted and gently rested her head against Richard's chest, saying, "Whether it's Luvia or that female pirate, really, what makes me any worse than them?"

"Of course you're not bad..."

"Yes, I know, that's why I'm absolutely not willing to lose this battle... My dear junior, now I only have one question for you... Are you willing to enjoy the same happiness as me?"

Richard's heart rate doubled.
