Princess' personal painter

"You still have nosebleeds, Erin, you are so cute!"

These words made Erin's face start to burn again, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Erica... I saved your life yesterday, right?"

"Eh... yes, yes."

"Erica, have you figured out how to repay me?"

Erica looked at her curiously: "Hey, repay? What do you want?"

"Take off your clothes!" A sudden shout made Erica startled, but she found that the girl's face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye after she finished speaking, and her momentum completely withered. The voice added: "I, I will paint your portrait for you!"

"Hey, do you want me to be a model for painting? Of course...but why do you want to take off your clothes?" Erica blinked and asked inexplicably.

**Sketch or something...Although Irene is so yearning, but seeing Erica's innocent appearance, the courage she finally mustered disappeared in an instant, and she looked away and said:

"Well, that...you don't need to take off your clothes."

Next, Erin hid in the bathroom and changed out of the thin princess dress. After putting on the plain and warm clothes, she took the drawing board and took Erica to the yard.She selected a suitable scene, sat Erika there, and began to sketch.

This was obviously a fresh attempt for Erica, and she asked curiously, "Has Erin painted for other people?"

Eileen, who had entered a state of concentration, replied softly: "Well... once."

During this period of time, apart from studying together with Mia and Erica in the studio, Irene is learning about the world on the one hand, and on the other hand helping to take care of some trivial matters of the chamber of commerce, but rarely takes the initiative to touch paintbrush again.However, because the "experience" accumulated in the previous life is rich enough, the movements of her hands at this time are not unfamiliar at all.

In the clear blue sky, the gray and white mansion, and the empty small square, a demure girl is sitting in such a scene, her long golden hair is smooth and dazzling.

The current atmosphere has long existed in Irene's vision.Draw a picture for the girl she likes, copy the appearance of the other party on the drawing paper, and keep it as a treasure—although during this time, all kinds of girls keep appearing around, which almost dazzled her eyes and made her lose sight of it. You can't figure out who you really like.

Sitting here quietly right now, painting for Erica, this kind of leisurely and pleasant "daily life" made Erin unable to help but indulge in it.

Among the girls Erin came into contact with, the mysterious black-haired girl is still a mystery.

Mia Stefan, who is a vampire and regards Irene as a "prey", has two contrasting temperaments of "indifference" and "charm".

The first person I met was Ruolin's princess Sisyana. I heard that she will marry the prince soon... But there is always a chance to meet her, right?

As for the fallen noble girl in front of her, Erica Jacobs, is the girl whose relationship with Irene is closest to a "friend".

Next, how will my relationship with them develop?

The sketch in hand is almost at the end.Perhaps because the atmosphere was too comfortable, Erin lost her mind without authorization.At this moment, Irene, whose mind was full of beautiful girls, completely forgot about some hidden crises—according to Mia's evaluation, Irene was indeed a guy with "no sense of crisis".

As soon as the words fell, the rustling wind blew on her face, and the fine sand and gravel made Irene unable to open her eyes for a while.She managed to squeeze out tears and expel the sand from her eyes—when she opened her eyes, she looked at the world again through the tears and found that something was distorted.

What's wrong?

Some strange intuition, ahead of what she saw, or heard, alarmed her.Just when Erin was in doubt, she found that this "intuition" had become a reality.

The expression of the blond girl in the picture froze for a moment, then her eyes widened in horror, and she moved her lips vigorously, as if she wanted to convey something to Irene.

The alarm in my heart was raised to the highest level in an instant.

Putting down the paintbrush without thinking, Irene quickly took out the magic gun from her arms, turned around and pointed at the person behind her.

The ugly mask is slowly approaching with a playful look.

——The person who came was the culprit of yesterday's incident. He assassinated Yorick Swain in a brutal way, the "Bloody Clown" who was on the run.

Chapter 41 The Inescapable Disaster

"I accidentally smelled His Highness's scent. I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance from yesterday."

The "clown" in a pure black dress stopped, and said a word from under the mask.His voice had been deliberately concealed, and he had a hoarse feeling that was neither masculine nor feminine.

Erin didn't answer, but silently pointed the gun at the other party.

The "clown" glanced at Erica in the distance, bowed slightly, and said to Irene: "It seems that we are destined to be close, and we meet again today!" After a pause, a subtle expression appeared on his mask. The expression on her face: "Oh, I can't afford such a welcome ceremony."

While speaking, "Joker" quickly moved two steps aside.Hearing only a few "srusting" sounds, several crossbow arrows shot at the place where he was originally standing.Immediately afterwards, a huge figure jumped to Irene's side and said to her, "Irene, step back first."

This man was none other than Mr. Weiss, who was in charge of the store's security.

A few guys in the distance also pointed at the invading "clown" with crossbows.

Irene breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated in the direction of Erica, only to see Mr. Weiss pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency 'Joker''s brutal methods are now known to everyone. Xiao, we naturally dare not neglect!"

The "clown" shrugged, and an "innocent" expression appeared on the mask and said: "Obviously I only killed one person, but I didn't know that group of lunatics would kill anyone they saw, and made me bear such a big blame."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice broke in:

"Dare to assassinate Yorick Swain, who is a nobleman and has a rank in the army. This alone, according to the kingdom's laws, is enough to condemn you to death."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a woman with red hair and purple pupils in armor walking slowly, with one hand on the long sword, her eyes were firmly locked on the "clown", maintaining a posture of being ready to strike at any time.She glanced at the few people in the field from the corner of her eye, and said to Weiss:

"I was ordered to hunt down the 'clown' who is at large, please cooperate!"

This magic swordsman, code-named "Blood Sparrow", is one of the famous strongmen in Anluer. Naturally, Weiss did not dare to neglect, and quickly responded: "Of course."

As for the "clown" standing over there, he didn't seem to expect "Blood Sparrow" to catch up with him so quickly, he quietly took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "I am really flattered by this lady's kindness... ...It's a pity that I have no luck, little girl, and see you next time."

As he said that, "Joker" suddenly twisted his body and rolled backwards.The "Blood Sparrow" who had been locking on to him also saw the momentum and followed, cutting out the magic flame visible to the naked eye, blocking the opponent's way.

He took out the dagger, and blocked the attack of the magic swordsman with his dexterous figure. In the gap, the clown gave Irene a meaningful look, and said, "Your appearance is very similar to a person I have seen... I probably guessed why His Highness cares about you so much. Maybe we will meet again in the future!"

After all, he and the magic swordsman who was chasing behind quickly disappeared from Irene's sight.

This change happened so quickly, the few people who were still in the square didn't react for a while.Erin stood in a daze in the distance, feeling very bad in her heart.

Then, she immediately figured out what the last sentence of "Joker" meant.

On the surface, those few words were addressed to Irene, but they were actually addressed to "Blood Sparrow" - he wanted to confuse his sight and drag himself into the water... himself, Erica, and Mia yesterday It was indeed at the scene of the assassination. Although no one has noticed it yet, once it is investigated, it will definitely not be concealed.

What's more, I really have an inexplicable relationship with that mysterious black-haired girl.

The city is currently under lockdown. For the "clowns" who want to escape, or want to cover their accomplices to escape, it is natural to disturb the muddy water as much as possible.

Being called by the "clown" like this, I can't stay out of it now.

Then Yannis arrived in a hurry.Irene told him what happened just now, and Yannis had the same thoughts as her, and said with a wry smile, "This time I really got into big trouble."

……

In the north of Karenin City, a huge lighthouse on the edge of the harbor.

The eternal sound of the tide slaps in the ears, and the slight smog that permeates the old port area has a somewhat chilling atmosphere.Under the line of sight, teams of guards are searching from house to house. Although there is no clue of any "murderer", it is true that in this filthy area, many people of various religions and ranks have been found out.

Sitting a bit lonely on the top of the lighthouse, the black-haired girl whose body was mostly covered under the black robe, with a slight red glow on her face, was sipping a pot of liquid in her hand.

Judging from the smell, the liquid in the pot is indeed "wine".

If Irene were to see the girl's appearance, she would definitely be surprised by the contrast. The black-haired girl's expression at this time was not only obviously troubled, but also somewhat helpless—the same as in Irene's impression. , her usual expressionless appearance is very different.

Only when she is alone can she reveal her own "truth".

"Miss Yan Lingshi, it seems that you have encountered trouble again?"

As usual, a fly-like, irresistible creature spoke to her.This has been the case for several days, and the other party knew that she would not pay any attention to him, but he persevered in striking up a conversation.

The black-haired girl raised her head, and glanced at the "uncle" in front of her with cold eyes.

This lighthouse standing tall on the edge of the harbor, as one of Karenin's symbols, has been the tallest building in the city for a long time in the past.She chose this place as a temporary shelter because it was high enough without being too noticeable, so that she could take action when necessary.

Generally speaking, this kind of remote place should not be noticed by people.But the sloppy uncle in front of her came to him when she had just drawn a magic circle on the top of the tower and used it as a "base" a few days ago.

A terrifying giant sword was tied behind the uncle's back. When talking to her, his body did not touch any entity, and he "stands" firmly in the sky nearly [-] meters above the ground, and his breath has not leaked at all—— If the opponent is a pure martial artist, to be able to do this to this extent, the strength of this person may be beyond her imagination.

"It's been several days, and you still haven't made any progress in your affairs. Are you unwilling to tell me your reason for coming? Since we are not enemies, maybe we have the possibility of cooperation." The uncle sighed, and in front of her "Sit" down, as if planning to have a long talk.

She knew very well that this seemingly kind-hearted uncle approached her only to monitor her.

But even she, at the cost of a part of her body, exchanged her long-term practice for the strength of a powerful word-speaking mage who "pretends herself to be a god, and everything she says is the truth", and she is confident that if she conflicts with him, there is nothing wrong with her. The sureness of winning.

Compared with the vampire, this "uncle" is even more obscure.

"The assassination of that little thief yesterday caused quite a commotion, but in my opinion, it was nothing more than a small disturbance. I don't bother to care about it." The temperament above everyone, "I have to be on guard against things that are really harmful to this country... Alas, it seems that the days of peace are coming to an end soon. Miss Yan Lingshi, you are the same Do you think so?"

The black-haired girl frowned, remaining silent.

For her as a spiritual mage, silence has long been a habit.

On the other hand, in her conception all along, if Ruolin is the greatest enemy, the mighty Anruel is the second enemy, an obstacle that her "country" must overcome.There is no basis for cooperation, or "negotiation".

She completely ignored the uncle's words. She thought that she had wasted three days and caused unnecessary trouble, so she unconsciously clenched her fists.

The situation here is getting worse and worse, and we can't stay any longer.

The day after tomorrow, no matter what, I must take Irene away!

Chapter 42 Prince Guidinis

When he learned that there was a clue to the incident, as the future heir of the Kingdom of Anruel, Prince Guidinis Ludwig was still practicing archery in the school yard.

At first, he was not interested in the reports of his subordinates, so he simply responded with an "oh".

However, when he heard that what was involved was a "Kuroshio Chamber of Commerce" with a long history, he couldn't help changing his tone: "Oh?"

In his memory, the name "Kuroshio" did not belong to the Chamber of Commerce at first, but an old knight order with great military exploits.The knight order was disbanded due to some historical reasons, and then it evolved into a chamber of commerce.It inherited the title of "Kuroshio" and enjoyed some privileges granted by the royal family. It has a history of 50 years.

Therefore, as a product left over from the special era, the Kuroshio Chamber of Commerce, which enjoys privileges but does not fulfill its obligations, and earns a lot of money independently, has become the "maggot" of the kingdom in the eyes of Guidinis, and it is the object he plans to clean up after he succeeds. one.

Unexpectedly, the Kuroshio Chamber of Commerce has always acted in a low-key manner, but this time it was involved in such a big incident.

So, Guidinis, who was interested, decided to go and see the situation in person.He put down the standard longbow in his hand, put on his military jacket, and set off for the Kuroshio Chamber of Commerce.

When they arrived at the scene, a large group of soldiers had already controlled the Chamber of Commerce, but they were still in the inquiry stage and no compulsory action was taken.The arrival of Guidinis caused the officer in charge to panic for a moment, and hurried forward to report the information he had learned so far.

Soon, he met the so-called "suspect" in the square.

One of them was Erika, the younger sister of Lucas Jacobs, the missing senior investigator who was in charge of ensuring the safety of Yorick Swain at the time; Auerbach, it is said that she is a distant relative of the chairman of the chamber of commerce, and the origin is still under investigation.

Knowing these things, Guidinis couldn't help scolding his incompetent subordinates.

The whole city has been searched for a whole day, and now except for the "clown" who is elusive, no other criminals can be found. Now they even regard two girls without any force as suspects and do such a ridiculous thing , Do you want everyone to laugh at my incompetence?

With the annoyed Guidinis, he wished to leave here immediately.

Immediately, he noticed the eyes of the chestnut-haired girl looking towards him—curiosity, anxiety, and...hidden, some kind of strange hostility.

This girl, it seems that it is really not that simple?

Slightly taken aback, Guidinis made a judgment in his heart, and then walked over calmly.

Staring at the handsome young man in military uniform who appeared out of nowhere, Irene was still muttering in her heart, "Which second-generation official is this again, he is so handsome..." until the other party suddenly turned his head and looked at him. Taking a look at herself, when she was walking towards this side, Erin realized that she seemed to have caused even greater trouble inadvertently.She panicked and quickly lowered her head, but it was too late.
