Today's princess is still cute

Chapter 54 I Do (Seventh update, please vote!)

The Royal Forest should not actually be called a forest.

Any emperor with any sense would not leave an overly lush forest or an open pasture next to his capital, as that would be a hindrance to the enemy.

This place connects the imperial capital and the left secondary capital, with farms on both sides.

This enclosed area is approximately 6,000 acres. If based on the reference objects of the previous life, it is roughly the size of four Forbidden Cities.

It is a little small, but it is also a good place for the nobles in the imperial capital to have fun.

In order to truly restore the hunting scene, the royal family also built several small hills here, planted tall trees on them, and then dug a lake and took great pains to raise a group of fish.

With all the facilities in place, it has basically developed into this: you draw your bow and arrow, close your eyes and shoot into the woods, and as long as you don't hit a tree, you can basically hit a prey. You don't need to put any bait on, just throw it into the water and you can catch a fish.

Are you afraid of emptying the things?

Don’t worry, the royal family will replenish resources here in spring and autumn every year. Even if people come here to hunt and fish every day, you can still have fun until you don’t want to play anymore.

This move can be said to be a waste of money and time, and the Holy See, which could not stand it, proposed to allow residents of nearby farms to come in and hunt every month to balance the excess biological resources.

Then the situation got better. In the end, the royal forest had developed to the point where anyone who was a noble could pay to go in and have some fun. Anyway, those nobles who went in for fun could not kill many prey, so somehow a balance was achieved between income and expenditure.

Today is of course different.

When the prince and princess arrived, the place was cleared early, and the royal guards were sent in in the morning to sweep the area in circles, and no suspicious people were allowed to stay.

"Kaysen, is this your first time here?" Andre never forgot his new friend and always took the initiative to talk to him.

Cardinson looked at the scenery and nodded in praise, "It's really thoughtful. It's great to have a place like this near the imperial capital."

He looked at it from another angle.

Players who have played Piss Holding 5 and 6 know the importance of entertainment facilities and wonders. Blindly developing business can easily reduce livability. As for those who are obsessed with war and military expansion, it goes without saying that they don't care what livability is.

As soon as the group moved to the center of the hunting ground, the guards came up to help them set up camp. Tents that looked beautiful but were of poor practicality were quickly erected.

"Today we don't need servants. We'll rely on ourselves and see who can catch more prey!"

A young master from a marquis's family shouted like this.

The Eighth Princess, a thirteen-year-old girl who was traveling with us, shouted crisply, "Isn't that bullying us?"

Look at those white and tender little hands, typical of those who have never touched water before. And you want her to draw a bow and shoot an arrow? It's doubtful whether she can string a hand crossbow.

"We work in pairs. It's not like you have to go hunting by yourself." When the second princess Angelina said this, her eyes were all on Cardinson, as if she wanted to stick to him.

Cardinson was about to say something when he heard Andrei beside him clapping his hands and laughing, "Second sister, this is a good suggestion. Let's start drawing lots to divide the groups."

There happened to be fourteen people present, an even number.

"Drawing lots is meaningless, just choose the person you want to partner with." The Duke's son Richard saw what Angelina meant and said quickly.

At this time, the girls got off the carriage, and the boys also got off the horses and stood together. Only Tina stood alone outside the circle, not knowing how to fit in.

Cardinson naturally became a popular target among the girls.

Everyone was extremely jealous, but they didn't dare to speak before Angelina.

The second princess was very satisfied with this feeling of hierarchy. She slowly stretched out her hand and was about to choose Cardinson.

"Let me team up with Her Highness Tina."

Unexpectedly, Cardinson spoke before anyone else and looked at Tina who was counting ants with her head down.

"what?"

Tina heard someone calling her name, and when she looked up, she found that everyone was looking at her.

What, what's happening?

"Um, Tina," the fifth prince Andre called his sister for the first time, and he almost didn't know what to say, "Kaysen wants to partner with you, are you willing to team up with him?"

Refuse.

Refuse!

If you don’t want to die, refuse me!

Angelina stared at Tina, and anyone could probably read the warning in her eyes.

However, Tina said softly: "Well, I do."

All right.

Now there is nothing to talk about.

Angelina was going crazy.

Just when she was about to explode, the quick-witted Andre grabbed his second sister and whispered, "Second sister! Calm down, second sister, do you remember what we talked about before? It was to let Kaisen tease her. Kaisen must have the same idea! Otherwise, how could he choose her?"

Angelina thought about it carefully and felt that what her brother said made sense.

Her mother and Andre's mother were good friends and they were allies in the harem, so naturally they had a better relationship as siblings, and she could listen to Andre's words.

Well, it's true. When the second prince slashed with his sword, they died one after the other. Given the second princess's unscrupulous personality in the palace, it would be impossible for the second prince to tolerate her.

Cardinson walked in front of Tina under everyone's gaze, maintaining a suitable but not too distant distance, and whispered: "Your Highness, we meet again."

"Ah."

Although there was no expression on Tina's face, a hint of excitement could be seen in her eyes.

If it wasn't him, it would be torture to partner with anyone else.

"Just follow me later. I will protect you."

Cardinson felt that as a princess, Tina certainly had no hunting experience, so he said this subconsciously, hoping that Tina would feel that he was more reliable and not be in a hurry when she saw the prey later, otherwise it would hurt both of them.

But it was these words that struck Tina's heart.

protect me

The previous thoughts and the current situation suddenly combined together, and little fireworks rose in my mind.

"Thank you, Mr. Knight."

"Ah? No need to thank me. Isn't it our knights' duty to protect the princess?" Cardinson laughed and stood firmly beside Tina, watching the rest of the people choosing their partners.

"Ah."

Tina's eyes sparkled. It was the first time there was light in her eyes.

It turns out that not all the stories in fairy tales are lies.

PS: I recommend a book, "I Really Don't Want to Be the King of the Moon".

As a time traveler, the ten-year-old Hakuno Kishinami is well aware of his ill-fated future self.

"Six years from now, I will be frozen for thirty years due to a terminal illness, and then my soul will float to the moon to become a Master, leading my Servants to punch the savior, kick the evil of mankind, appease the wandering star vanguard, and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the civilization of the solar system... Is this a job that a human can do?"

Thinking about the terrible future, Hakuno Kishinami decided to take action in advance and change the future in order to have a peaceful daily life.

He learns magic from a shotacon magician, fights against a war maniac who can attract the awakened, saves the evil cult's daughter who has not yet been possessed by the devil, and strangles his father's fate in the cradle.

However, after finally changing the future and preventing trouble, fate would not let him go -

[Hello, Shirano Kishinami]

[Mooncell will provide you with assistance. Please work hard to grow, unlock skills, improve your strength, go to the moon to set up a terminal, and become the new king of the moon]

"Ah... what skills are you going to give me? Let me see..."

Hakuno Kishinami opened the panel, looked at the [Self-Transformation], [Crown of Ten], [Single Manifestation], [Stagnation of Ten Thousand Colors], [Demon Wave Jun], [Star Emblem] that he was given... and closed the menu silently.

His face was filled with joy: "This is wishing me death."

Chapter 55 Chapter 55 The third round of additional activities

Here is the seventh update. I wrote about 40,000 words in three days, which is not bad.

If I hadn't been sick, I would have solved it long ago. It's quite annoying.

But in the final analysis, the Christmas and New Year's Day extra update activities have been successfully concluded, and the next one is the happy Laba extra update activity (until January 1th, starting from the 20th).

It's not easy to find a holiday to add more chapters

3000 recommendation votes plus one more update,

300 monthly tickets plus one more chapter,

200 blades plus one more,

Tipping is not encouraged, as I said before, just read the book.

As for razor blades, the system provides them for free every month. Just invest in them, it’s free.

There is no upper limit as per convention, and everyone knows that I can work hard.

So, please continue to vote for me. I will write as much as you give me, and I will ensure the quality and quantity. It’s that simple.

Chapter 56: Upgraded to Hateful

Let’s dissect Cardinson’s layout today and take a first look into the inner world of this old coin.

In his imagination, this hunting trip would definitely be a good opportunity to get in touch with the upper-class aristocratic circle. With his performance, it would not be difficult to become familiar to them.

Andre gave him 100,000 gold coins in the name of "donation", and Cardinson took 5,000 from it. The remaining 95,000 were all handed over to the Holy See through Rong Ke. This was necessary because without the intervention of the Holy See, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the Marquis of Shusterly so quickly. Everyone knew that if Cardinson swallowed this huge sum of money himself, it would be tantamount to breaking the rules of the game.

No matter how selfless the Holy See is, it still has a large family to support. What Cardinson did was to generate income for the Holy See, so the 5,000 gold coins could be considered his performance bonus. When His Holiness the Pope learned about this, he just laughed it off, and others naturally did not dare to find fault.

He did not use the five thousand gold coins to fill his pockets. Good steel should be used on the blade. He went to the Evening Song Tavern to issue a four-star task for two thousand gold coins, requiring some masters who were good at creating "accidents" to go to the Royal Forest and do some tricks.

Roye was given two hundred gold coins as a reward and asked to contact people overnight. The underground world has its own set of communication channels, and the speed is much faster than expected.

It was expected that the Royal Guards would clear the area in the morning, and it was beyond description that they dared to attack the princes and princesses and these noble children. But there must be brave men under a big reward. Cardinson's two thousand gold coins directly attracted more than a dozen travelers, and even a few professional brothers from the Eternal Night Brotherhood to help. They retreated at dawn, and the Royal Guards could not even see their shadows. The matter was done beautifully.

According to a senior traveler, unless the most skilled hunter came here, no one would be able to discover what they had done.

Roye, who was responsible for delivering the message, also said that the guys there were very satisfied with the remuneration and that they would contact him at any time if there was such work in the future, guaranteeing that every gold coin would be worth it.

In Cardinson's plan, he must use some words to stimulate these young and energetic guys a little before hunting, let them hunt on their own, and just let the guards follow behind them.

In this way, he could cleverly solve problems one by one, and after capturing the most prey, he would quietly give some to the royal child with the highest status present, thereby gaining the other party's favor.

Soon after, the brothers' arrangements will be put into action. At that time, a small-scale beast tide will come from the forest in the south, and then Cardinson will quickly organize the nobles to retreat to the predetermined safe location. He has a certain say in the circle, and people will think he is very reliable.

There are various plans, and before coming, Cardinson was full of confidence and felt that it was foolproof.

However, these plans were disrupted by the little white flower that was not supposed to be here.

"Your Highness, be careful. The bushes here may scratch your legs, which will leave ugly scars. I will lead the way, and Your Highness, follow behind me."

"Ah."

"This is a 50-year-old incense tree. It emits a very sweet scent in this season, but animals don't like the smell. Your Highness, don't get too close. Inhaling too much can make you dizzy."

"Ah."

"Your Highness, do you know how to use a crossbow? If not, it's okay. I'll shoot the prey..."

"No, use honorifics."

Cardinson turned around and looked at Tina, who was standing there, clutching the straps of her small backpack with both hands, and was a little surprised.

This was the conversation with the most words in the history between Her Royal Highness the Princess and me.

As soon as they looked at each other, Tina lowered her head again and whispered, "I don't like this word of yours."

Cardinson felt his heart beat faster for no apparent reason.

"Ah, ha ha, ha, that's fine. I will address Your Highness on a equal footing from now on. I hope you won't blame me for being rude." Cardinson didn't dare to look at her. He turned his head away and said dryly.

"Ah."

Tina drew small circles on the ground with her toes. She was like a little rabbit that had just poked its head out of a hole, feeling curious and timid about everything.

Behind the two of them, a small group of guards followed in the distance. People like Angelina and Andre could ignore Tina, but they couldn't, at least not on the surface.

So, the necessary protection is still there.

However, when the Vatican Knights, who are the most hated by the Guards, and the Seventh Princess, who is hated by everyone, are combined together, one can imagine how serious this team is.
