"Please don't overthink my identity!"

"Really? If I'm overthinking it, then I apologize."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." After saying this insincerely, Zhenming made a stop gesture.

"Look, those two knights are back. Let's hurry up and get dinner ready so Bubble doesn't go hungry."

"kindness"

Joan responded sullenly, feeling that she and Hirano Mana simply didn't get along.

..............................................................................

With two knights escorting them all the way, Bubble and her friends were not harassed by the bandits.

As for the assassination attempt that the head of the Sixth Agency branch had worried about, it never happened.

The little girl arrived safely at Baron House's territory. After Valo's negotiations, the Baron arranged to meet Bubble at his own manor.

"..."

"........."

"Hello, I'm Bubble!"

When the young girl saw that the man in front of her didn't speak, she greeted him first.

"Bubble..."

Baron House's expression was unpredictable. He stared at the little girl for a long time before finally adopting a cold expression.

"I've never heard of any bubbles. What do you want with me?"

"Uncle, you know perfectly well about Bubble, it's not good to lie."

The little girl's words made Baron House's face darken. "Hmph, I was as close as brothers with the former Viscount Yog, and I know that he had two missing daughters."

"but!"

"None of his daughters are named Bubble!"

"Huh?"

"Go back and don't bother me anymore," Baron House said impatiently.

"Hey! We've come all this way, you can choose not to help us, but what's with the way you treat us like we're scammers?"

Joan glared at him angrily: "Aren't you going to find out the truth first?"

"Where did you come from, you lowly commoner? Do you even have a place to speak?"

Baron House shouted angrily, "Get them out of here! Talking to these liars is a waste of my life!"

Several guards immediately stepped forward and separated Bubble and his group from Baron House.

"Didn't you hear what the master said? Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Qiong flew into a rage, and as the Heavenly Maiden Sect's cultivation technique circulated, the temperature around her plummeted.

Just as she was about to make her move, Zhenming grabbed her arm.

"Things are still unclear, let's not make enemies right away!" Zhenming said in a low voice.

"What's unclear? It was a huge mistake of us to come looking for this guy!"

"Joan, let's go."

At that moment, Bubble tugged at her sleeve.

Fighting is bad.

"..."

She could ignore the real name, but she dared not disobey Bubble.

"Bubble, are we just... just leaving like this?"

According to Joan's idea, they should teach those arrogant guards a lesson now and make Baron House kneel down and beg for mercy!

"Bubble knows that Uncle doesn't really want to be like this either, so let's not put him in a difficult position."

Upon hearing this, Baron House's eyes immediately reddened.

He quickly turned his head away, not daring to let the little girl see his expression.

"..."

"Since you've said so, Bubble, well then! Let's go, let's go!"

Holding the little girl's hand, Qiong turned and left.

Zhenming, on the other hand, looked thoughtful. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and discovered that the baron was secretly watching the little girl's departing figure.

'So, there's more to it than meets the eye?'

Section 349, Chapter 348: Duties

After being kicked out by Baron House, he naturally could no longer live in his manor.

Left with no other choice, Zhenming suggested that they find a hotel in a nearby town to make do for now.

"A lot has happened today, and everyone is tired. Let's rest well and then discuss things further later."

"Ms. Real Name, let's part ways here."

Knight Valo suddenly spoke up: "Now that you have arrived safely, it is time for me to go back and take care of my own affairs."

He looked at Bubble and the others calmly, even though what he was doing at this moment was somewhat dishonest, but...

He had no connection with Bubble and the others to begin with, and escorting them all the way to the baron's territory was already more than enough.

Of course, if Baron House had a different attitude today, Vallo would definitely have held on tightly to Bubble, such a promising stock.

Pity.

Even if this young lady is indeed a descendant of a viscount, without outside help, she won't be able to maintain the family business in the future.

"If there's nothing else, everyone, farewell!"

"Okay, thank you for your help, goodbye." The little girl waved to him.

"You must be tired from your journey, goodbye," Zhenming said in return.

Knight Dewey nodded to him, but the man remained silent.

"Humph!"

Only Joan looked grim; she seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held back.

"Take care!" she said curtly.

After Vallo left, Dewey spoke up, which was unusual for him.

“I know Baron House’s territory better than you do; I’m here to find a place to stay.”

'At least there's someone somewhat reliable, although he's just on a mission.'

Joan glanced at Bubble silently, her mood rather heavy.

Before setting off, she had oversimplified things. In her mind, Bubble inheriting the title was just the first step.

Next, she will help Bubble make the territory even more prosperous, so that the little girl can stay in Sein and be her lord with peace of mind and happiness.

'Everything is difficult at the beginning.'

Joan comforted herself, believing that once she got through this hurdle, everything would be alright.

For the next few days, Bubble and her friends stayed in the hotel and didn't go anywhere else.

I wanted to quietly wait for the experts from the Sixth Agency to come and determine the blood source, but unexpectedly, trouble came knocking on my door even though I didn't go looking for it.

"boom blah blah"

"boom blah blah"

Before dawn, the hotel door was pounded on loudly.

"Is this ever going to end?! It's not even dawn yet, we don't do business at this hour!"

The boss opened the door cursing, but when he saw the stern-faced soldiers standing in front of him, he swallowed all the profanities.

"Oh dear, everyone..."

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over those swindlers!" the team leader shouted.

"A swindler? Sir, please explain yourself clearly. Where would we find a swindler here?" the shopkeeper said with a mournful face.

"Hmph, a little girl, two maids, and a knight—don't you know where they are?!"

"...I know, I know, I'll call those swindlers down right now."

With such a commotion downstairs, the tenants have been unable to sleep for a long time.

Some people went outside to watch the commotion, but many more, upon seeing the menacing soldiers, retreated back to their rooms.

"Were you sent by Baron House?"

Joan walked over with a cold face, followed by the composed Zhenming and Bubble who kept yawning.

"The Baron orders you liars to get out of here. If you know what's good for you, leave on your own."

The leader shouted fiercely, but he didn't make a move right away.

Why should we leave?!

“The land beneath your feet is the sacred and inviolable private property of the Baron. If he tells you to leave, you must leave.”

"Hey!"

Just as Joan was about to lose her temper, Sir Dewey, who had just arrived, spoke up: "I'm sorry, but we are afraid we cannot obey the Baron's orders."

“...This is, Sir Knight.”

The captain looked at Dewey's attire, and his tone softened considerably: "You are a knight, you should know that on this land, the Baron's orders are absolute."
