Chris's Faith of Fire

Fami smiled bitterly and picked out some decent clothes from the wardrobe. It would be easier to trick her out while eating.

◆ ◇

The closer a store is to an aristocratic neighborhood, the more high-end the items sold there, whether it's a restaurant or a clothing store.

Chris often goes to street vendors to buy clothes. Although they look ordinary, she still exudes the brilliance of a goddess when she wears them.I really want to see her, I want to see her, I want to hug her, I want to wait for Chris to respond to her hug, I want to kiss her on the lips... Fami often feels that although her fate is bumpy, it is not too bad, if not Garnet had already destroyed the Demon King and attacked Eogard, so he wouldn't have a chance to get close to the Crystal Princess, so he wanted to take his fate back into his hands and go see her quickly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Fami?"

The young man came back to his senses when he heard Ailian's call.

"Mr. Fami has a very cool expression..."

"I always look like this."

"Hmm~ I think Mr. Fami is very charming like this~ So, where should we go to eat now?"

Maybe he just said it unintentionally, or maybe he just said it because he saved her.

"I'll help you pick out some simple clothes first. If they're too conspicuous, you won't be able to move around the city properly."

"I see. No wonder I keep feeling eyes staring at me. It's really like this! Mr. Fami, you are so thoughtful..."

It's all because you haven't thought about anything. Fami knows that he is not a cerebral person. If Neil, the battle wizard, sees that he is taking a noble lady around the city, all his credibility will be lost.

"Well, Ailian, just call me Fami. There is no need to be particularly polite when speaking... I am not that kind of noble person."

"Hey, that's not the case!" The girl suddenly became excited. "Jie La often told me that a real knight refers to someone who can save the princess when she is in crisis, while a noble is someone who can help the emperor solve his problems, is a philanthropic person, and can share his wealth. To the people, someone who takes on the responsibilities of everyone’s parents and makes everyone happy.”

Suddenly hearing such a serious argument, Fami didn't know what to say in response. Of course, he felt that Ailian was right.I don't want to deliberately play devil's advocate and get into an argument with her.

"I'm just that person's knight..."

"who?"

"Huhu~ Look at the clothes here, although they are a bit plain."

Spotting a roadside stall, Fami walked up with Ailian to make sure that he was not exaggerating. The clothes here were indeed nothing special. They were exactly the same as those worn by the girls on the street. About two of the five people there fully clothed

The same style, but Ailian still felt novel, and even forgot what she and Fami were talking about just now.

Since Ailian didn't know which one to choose, the landlady began to ask Fami for her opinion. In her opinion, maybe he and Ailian were in a relationship, and they were not just ordinary lovers. They were the kind of bad boys who were outcasts and... It is not uncommon to see a combination of aristocratic and young lady who are not silent about worldly affairs.

Fami didn't explain much. He chose a brown coat and a skirt that could cover her entire thigh according to his own taste.Ailian walked around happily after putting it on and asked Fami if it looked good.

“Very cute~”

This is not perfunctory, the long blond hair was tied into a bunch on both sides by the shop owner, and the long hair poured down the back.It goes very well with this brown coat. Because it really looks good, Fami picked out a small top hat and put it on her. When Ailian smiled, even the shop owner seemed to melt. Forgot to ask for money.

"Sorry, Auntie~ Thank you too, Fami, ah... I just have to pay for it myself. I still have some common sense!"

As she said that, she handed the shopkeeper a large gold coin... Although it was different from Garnet, Fami still understood that this thing was about 1000 kasili. The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw it, and he hurriedly handed it back to Ailian.

"I can't find so much money..."

"Hey, why do you need change?"

"what?"

Fami hid her face and sighed, and finally paid for Ailian.

Chapter 224 219. Fami and the Girl——6

"Wow! There are so many people. I have never eaten with so many people."

"Now I feel like you will be surprised wherever I take you..."

"People, they are not that ignorant." Ailian puffed up her cheeks angrily.

Although they have only been together for about a day, Fami probably already fully understands the girl in front of her. Her expression is not really angry, but just to hide her shyness. Because she lacks common sense, Ailian often opens her mouth wide in surprise. Kelly Si is also an eldest lady, and it is not such an exaggeration to say that she is a princess of a country.Fami thought to herself and pulled out a chair for the eldest lady in front of her.

"Thank you ~ Hehe."

I used to be a knight's squire in Garnet, so I still understand the basic etiquette, although the ones who usually pull out the chairs for ladies are real knights.

"Actually, there are not many people in this restaurant." Fami corrected Ailian's previous words. This restaurant can be considered to be in the aristocratic area, but businessmen often come here to dine or discuss business.Because of the high price, the seats are always full. The seat fee alone costs 50 kasi. If he hadn't known that Ailian had brought enough money, he wouldn't have chosen this place.

Looking around the interior of the restaurant, the walls and pillars of this restaurant are painted in gold and dark cyan, which makes people think of the southern style of the country of wind. It also seems to make people feel a bit of coolness in this hot country.The table the two of them were sitting on was made of dark sandalwood. It seemed untreated but the corners had been modified. It had a primitive yet elegant sensibility, which Ailian seemed to like very much.Fami took the menu from the waiter's hand and handed it to Ailian. He didn't know many words. The dishes on the menu all had names that looked very elegant and hard to understand, but this young lady should understand. Bar.

"I want this, this, and this~ Ah, there are clams. I also like this. Please add a little white vinegar~"

As expected, the eldest lady Ailian is very good at this.

Looking at the prices at the back of the menu, Fami couldn't help but feel how cheap the clothes she just bought for Ailian were.

"So much, can we finish it?"

"Hey, do you have to finish eating?" The question he threw out was thrown back, and Fami couldn't say a word.After all, common sense was different, which made him even more interested in Ailian's identity.

"Don't worry, Fami. To thank you for saving my life yesterday, I will pay for the meal!"

"Well...I won't refuse this time."

After all, the price of the dishes he had ordered was completely beyond Fami's ability to bear. For a moment, he felt a lot more comfortable. Even though he knew that Ailian was rich, he instinctively felt bad about letting such a petite girl treat him.

Obviously she wouldn't care if the target was Chris herself. Is it because the image of Chris as a mistress has been ingrained subconsciously?Xiaolang feels that his position in her heart should be more special, but sometimes he feels inexplicably unconfident.

"Speaking of which, this is probably the first time Ailian goes out to eat."

"Yeah! Usually the chef at home cooks it for me and the maid brings it to me."

"So do you remember the chef's name?"

"Eh? How can I remember that? In fact, I have never seen their faces..."

It was unusual. Although Fami could deduce that Ailian was a young lady with an extraordinary family background, she would probably only be from a noble family that was very famous in the empire.

A castle in the distance popped up in his mind. Could it be that Ailian lived there?

Which minister's daughter is she?Both her clothes and movements are very consistent, but if this is the case, Fami will be in trouble again.His current identity in the empire is that of an accomplice of the prisoner. If he is accidentally exposed, he will be arrested immediately. The person behind all this is Princess Andrea. Sending Ailian back by himself is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap. .

"Elaine, do you know Andrea?"

"Well..." The girl was shocked when she heard the name and waved her hands quickly. "End, I have no idea what you are talking about."

It was obvious that she was talking about something, and her lying skills were really poor.

Until here, Fami finally understood a few things.First of all, Ailian is undoubtedly someone who lives in the castle, and she knows Princess Andrea. In this case, her status is extremely noble.Fortunately, he didn't do anything to her yesterday, otherwise a few lives wouldn't be enough to compensate him. The young man usually seemed ignorant and fearless, but he didn't lack common sense, let alone the real leader of the army, even if a group of knights aimed at his life. If you hunt him all night long, you will probably end up dead on the street.One person cannot fight against the country. Even a vampire only has one pair of eyes, one pair of hands, and one pair of legs, while the empire has thousands.

After being asked about this information, Ailian also became silent and was no longer willing to answer Fami's questions. They were relatively speechless until the dishes they ordered were brought to the table, but when they saw the same dish being brought to them, they were exuding excitement. Ailian finally couldn't bear it when it was hot. She hadn't eaten for a whole day, let alone such a delicious meal.

Charcoal grilled Alastor beef is a must-have meat for banquets. This dish originates from his hometown of Garnet. The beef grown in the north is tender and juicy.Moreover, the nobles only took the meat of calves, which made the meat even more beautiful and became a delicacy famous in the mainland.

"Fami! You eat first." It looked like she was holding back her saliva, but the girl still said this first.

"Eh? It's not necessary. Isn't there so much? Just eat them together. Could it be that..."

"Well..." Ailian held the fork in her hand and dropped it.

Has this child never eaten by himself?

◆ ◇

"Ah, open your mouth."

"It's delicious! Ah, Fami, it's okay to have clams, it's okay to hold it with your hands."

"right……"

The excitement in the morning has disappeared. It seems that he is not bringing a young girl, but his own daughter. There are guests around who are smiling and looking at the two of them. Fami feels very embarrassed, but she can't just do it just because of face. Ailian left it alone.

He originally thought he could send her home today, but if she lived in the castle, let alone today, as long as the empire regarded her as a prisoner, he would not be able to get close to her.Just thinking about it makes me have more headaches.

(What is that young couple over there doing...)

Due to the vampire's hearing, the voice of the guest sitting in the corner reached Fami's ears.

Are you saying bad things behind your back again? It is indeed because what you are doing now is too eye-catching, and there is nothing you can do about it.It would be a pity not to finish all these dishes. You should know that these can be exchanged for money to support the entire team's expenses for a week.

(They are all wearing very cheap materials. Why are you here? I seem to have seen that girl somewhere...)

The man across from him took a sip of wine.

(Don’t be suspicious, that boy looks like a fledgling adventurer who made some money to please girls. I did this kind of thing when I was young...)

(That’s right, let’s not mention these children. Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness Andrea has been getting more and more excessive recently.)

Fami's ears perked up when he heard this, and he listened carefully to the conversation between the two while feeding Ailian, thinking that there might be some unexpected gains that would make this lunch worthwhile.

Chapter 225 220. Fami and the Girl——7

Fami's spoon stopped, and Aileen's cheek was gently touched by the spoon. She cried a little aggrievedly, but Fami's attention was still focused on the two nobles who were talking.

They seemed to have just talked about Princess Andrea, and they were still continuing this topic.

(Your Highness, she not only blatantly established her own armed force under Lord Rashu, but also wanted to increase her prestige in a short period of time by increasing the intensity of law enforcement. Although the idea was very good, as expected, the little girl still Too naive. Politics is not that simple...)

(She probably wants to escape Rasu's control and divide her own sphere of influence, but those who want to use force to solve everything will only receive a strong response with force.)

The man opposite him took a sip of wine. The two of them spoke very casually and very quietly. They must be in the same camp politically.

(Because I’m young, I think I can do anything. I think we old bones can be easily killed by her... Haha.)

(However, His Majesty the late Emperor just passed away when His Majesty Andrea was young. Since then, she and His Majesty Aaron have lived in the arms of Lord Rashu. I can understand her current character.)

(Although I don’t want Lord Rashu to always be in charge of power, it is undeniable that he is an almost perfect leader. He handles affairs neatly and always for the sake of the country. He is more suitable to be an emperor, but it is a pity that he is not a member of the royal family.)

As he spoke, the man gestured on the table.

(Speaking of the royal family, brother... Her Majesty Andrea and His Majesty Aaron have completely different personalities, but I feel that they have gone further and further away. One is tough and arrogant, and the other has almost no voice at all and only reuses some Villain. Guys like Willard can be promoted.)

(Oh, Willard...forget about that guy, he is addicted to the arena...and has no intention of being loyal to the emperor.)

(However, now, we must deal with internal problems before facing the demon king's army.)

He dipped some wine into the sandalwood table and began to draw.

(His Majesty Aaron and his little men headed by Willard occupy the palace, while His Majesty Andrea occupies the city.)

He smiled and looked at his companion. The two looked at each other, as if expecting the other to finish what he said next.But the last arc came to the corner of the man's mouth opposite him.

(Lord Rashu’s Volante family controls the most fertile land in the empire. They have an army of 5000. Even if they lend [-] to the Holy Sword Princess of the North, they are still able to do it with ease. No fool will fight against him. We are also... brothers.)

(Even his son Sir Lorraine is under the command of His Highness Andrea. Although Her Highness is not that smart, I think she can still notice this.)

(Perhaps she is taking advantage of this... to let Lord Rashu know something she wants him to know.)

(What will happen?) The two looked at each other and smiled, then stopped talking.

Fami immediately turned to look at Ailian beside her, only to see her pouting and her cheeks bulging.

If she could hear the conversation between the two people, she would probably be able to understand one more thing.

"what happened?"

"Fami, the food is almost cold...but you don't eat anything."

The girl's face showed disappointment, probably because she felt that she had been treated coldly.But than comforting her, Fami felt that he had more important things to do.

The man mentioned the arena and also mentioned a name called Willard.There is no doubt that this person can be asked about Chris. Although he doesn’t know what kind of political problems the empire is facing now, Fami doesn’t care at all. He just hopes to take Chris and everyone as soon as possible. leave here.

At this moment, the two people at the table called the waiter to pay the bill and were about to leave.

Fami grabbed a piece of Alastor steak on the plate. It was indeed tender and juicy, and it was still delicious even if it was a little cold.He couldn't help but want to taste the other dishes. After all, he had just noticed how delicious these things were. Maybe he wouldn't be able to eat such a feast for a while.

But there are more important things ahead.

Fami looked at Ailian in front of him, and then put his hands on her shoulders.

"I have something to do. Can you wait here for me? It only takes a moment."

He was convinced that he only needed this little time, and walked down the restaurant silently without waiting for Ailian's consent.The two nobles were walking in completely opposite directions. He remembered that the man who just mentioned that Willard was addicted to the arena was wearing a feather hat and walking towards the noble street.

Walking through the civilian neighborhoods surrounded by merchants, there is a long city wall at the dividing line between here and the nobility. The arena was built at this junction and became part of the city wall. It was built more than 1000 years ago. Although it is an old city, The nobles preferred this style. After the renovation, some wealthy merchants gradually moved into the old city, and it became a place for merchants to prove their status. They transported special products from various places to accumulate wealth. Gradually, merchants They and middle- and lower-level nobles also opened annual markets and large markets here, selling wool from the Kingdom of Wind and wine from the southern plains of the empire.High-priced fabrics and spices came from Anatolia, and local armor and metals were sold around the world.

The canal then divided the city into two. On the other side of the river was the real aristocratic residential area. There were many churches and they had their own high-end shops. The city was divided in this way. The great nobles collected land rent, while the merchants They lived on their purchasing power, while the nobles purchased products from merchants.The empire's population grew due to this prosperous commerce, and the imperial capital became the continent's leading commercial city.

Fami followed the noble and headed to the old city. There were many opportunities to attack here, but you had to seize the opportunity. Because it was close to the market, the number of patrolling guards was obviously different.

He made almost no sound as he walked, because he was usually better at assassination than frontal combat.

When he killed the bandit leader Wasp in Anatolia, he was in a similar situation. He blended in with the crowd but did not lose his target, and then followed him around the corner, chasing his pace.The next step is to find opportunities. After all, no one will live in a downtown area, especially nobility.Fami was sure that he would turn the corner, and then the noble paused for a moment and walked into the alley. Fami also knew that his opportunity had come.
