"I'm getting married."
Although it sounded like congratulatory words, Angelietta's tone was filled with sadness, and Louise seemed to understand this.
"Congratulations …"
Although she said that, Louise did not smile at all.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing, it's just … I'm sorry, I can't tell you this …"
"Please tell me, Your Highness. It must be something very troubling to make you sigh like this."
"No, I can't tell you. Please forget what I said just now, Louise."
Angelietta shook her head, and Louise became visibly unhappy.
"No! Didn't you say anything before? You're the one who treats me as a friend, Your Highness. Don't you even want to tell your friend your troubles? "
"…"
At the same time, the red ponytail pulled a chair by the wall and sat down. She took out half a watermelon and ate it while watching the scene in front of her with dead fish eyes. She did not say a word.
Hearing Louise's answer, Angelietta laughed.
"You finally treat me as a friend, Louise … Okay, but you must not tell anyone what I'm going to say next."
"I swear, I swear in the name of Valliel!"
Louise clasped the princess's hands tightly with a serious expression.
The red ponytail continued to eat the watermelon silently.
"In fact … I'm going to marry the Emperor of Grumania."
"What? Grumania?! "
Louise was shocked to hear this.
"That barbaric country?"
"Yes, but there's no other way. Albion's rebellion is about to succeed. Once the royal family is overthrown, Albion will definitely attack Torristine. We're just a small country, and we don't have enough power to fight against Albion. Therefore, in order to resist Albion's invasion, Grumania's alliance is indispensable."
"Of course I know, but …"
Hearing this, Louise could not help but remember what the red ponytail had said to her before. She shook her head and forced herself to forget about it.
"But, Your Highness …"
"The problem now is that Albion doesn't want to see us form an alliance with Grumania, so they're looking for the key to stop the alliance. If they find it, then the situation will become very bad. "
"Could it be that they found it?"
"Yes!"
Angelietta nodded sorrowfully, sat on the bed, and covered her face with her hands.
"Ahhh, ancestor, please have mercy on this poor princess …!"
The red ponytail was still eating her melon silently.
"Your Highness, please tell me, what did Albion find?"
However, Louise did not notice the look in the red ponytail's eyes. Instead, she sat next to the princess and held her hands tightly.
"It's a letter I wrote in the past …"
"Do you … believe it?"
"That's right. If the nobles of Albion find out, all they have to do is hand it over to the emperor of Grumania, and everything will be over. The emperor will definitely fly into a rage and cancel the marriage. When that happens, the Torristine Alliance will be nothing but a bubble …."
"Then, where is the letter?"
"The letter is in Albion, but not in the hands of the nobles of Albion, but in the hands of the Crown Prince of Wales."
"The Crown Prince of Wales?"
"Yes … Ahhh, it's over, everything is over. The Crown Prince will definitely be caught by the rebels. When that happens, they will naturally find the letter, and everything will be over! If we can't form an alliance, it's impossible to resist Albion with Torristine's power alone! "
The red ponytail was eating the remaining melon.
At this moment, Louise had already made up her mind.
"Then, Your Highness, you must want me to do something."
Hearing this, Angelietta shook her head frantically.
"No, this is too messy. Louise, I'm sorry, what am I saying? Think about it, it's very dangerous to go to Albion where the nobles and the Royal Party are fighting! How can I ask you to do it? "
"What are you talking about? Whether it's hell or the dragon's lair, as long as it's your command, I'll go! As the third daughter of the Duke of Valliere, how can I, Louise de Valliere, ignore the crisis Your Highness and Torristine are in?! "
Having said this, Louise half-knelt in front of the princess and looked up at her.
"Please leave this task to me."
"Really? Louise? "
"Of course, Your Highness, Louise will always be your friend and confidant!"
"Ahhh, I'll never forget your friendship and loyalty! Louise! "
The red ponytail finished eating the melon and burped.
"Then, please give this secretary and the ruby ring to the Crown Prince. He'll know why I'm here when he sees it … I sincerely hope that you can return safely, Louise. I'll take my leave now."
After hastily writing a secret letter and handing the ring in her hand to Louise, the cloaked Princess was about to leave. But at that moment ….
"Ah, Your Highness."
The red ponytail, who had been sitting and watching the show, suddenly spoke. She threw a bottle of water to Louise.
"This is …?"
"Green tea. I think you'll like this, Your Highness."
"… Thank you, Miss Tamed Demon."
Angelietta smiled at the red ponytail, then took the green tea she threw and turned to leave.
Only then did Louise let out a sigh of relief and sat on the bed.
"I say, Louise …"
The red ponytail yawned and narrowed her eyes at Louise.
"It's a good thing to be naive and upright, but it's not good to be fooled."
"What are you talking about!"
Hearing this, Louise immediately sat up and stared at the red ponytail with dissatisfaction.
"Don't tell me you didn't see it. That princess was just pretending to be pitiful in front of you, hoping that you'd take the initiative to die for her. And you really cooperated … If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that you two had discussed it beforehand to put on an act in front of me."
"Act … Act?"
"That's right. Although the princess stuttered, you can guess it with your brain. She's the princess of Torristine, and the letter she wrote is in the hands of the Crown Prince of Albion. If the Emperor sees the letter, he'll cancel the engagement. There's only one conclusion, and that is, that letter must be a love letter. If I were a noble of Albion, I would bring that letter to the king's wedding, read it in public, and let all the guests hear the princess' love for the crown prince. In such a way, the two countries would definitely be doomed. "
At this point, the red ponytail yawned out of boredom, while Louise's face turned pale.
"But it's not good to leave this kind of thing to others, so using friendship is the best way to win you over. After all, since you're volunteering to die, you won't reveal anything. If anything happens, you won't know what the letter is. You'll die for nothing, and the secret won't be leaked. "
The red ponytail looked at Louise again and shook her head.
"That's why I said you should be more careful. Being fooled by someone isn't something to be proud of."
"No, it's not like that!"
It was only then that Louise reacted and hurriedly retorted.
"Her Royal Highness and I have been friends for many years. She wouldn't do that …"
"Then why did she come to see you at this time? You haven't seen each other for many years. Didn't she have time to look for you before? Did she only come to talk to you now that she's on fire? "
"But … but … but … but …"
Faced with the red ponytail's questioning, Louise didn't know what to say for a while. Her voice became softer and softer.
"But … we're good friends after all …"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I'm here anyway. It's just Albion. It's not a problem for me to go back and forth. I just want to tell you to be more careful when you encounter people and things in the future. Don't get carried away just because someone praises you. Girls should learn to protect themselves. Maybe they're just lusting after your body. "
"What … what are you talking about!"
Hearing this, Louise's face suddenly turned red. She covered her head with the quilt.
"Sleep, sleep. We still have to leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay."
The red ponytail shrugged. Of course, she also knew that with Louise's status, there was no way she could refuse the princess's request. But at the very least, she had to understand her own situation. It was one thing to agree after knowing everything, but it was another thing to be tricked into nodding without knowing anything.
Just like that, the night passed.
But the next day …
"Hurry up, Saber! Let's go when you're ready! "
"It's not dawn yet. Let me sleep a little longer."
Red Ponytail yawned as she walked out. When she saw Louise and the horse beside her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you doing?"
"Riding a horse, of course! We're not close to Albion. If we don't speed up, we won't be able to reach our destination in time! "
"… Oh right, this is a low-magic world. I forgot."
The red ponytail patted her head. Only then did she remember that this world was a low-magic world. No one could even fly, let alone teleportation spells. In contrast, there were many people in Amelia's world who could fly. As for the mages here, even flying was a luxury for them …
"There's no need to ride a horse, Louise."
The red ponytail looked at Louise, who had packed her luggage and was about to mount the horse. The red ponytail hurriedly grabbed her.
"I have better transportation."
As she said that, the red ponytail rummaged through her inventory. Well … there were naturally a lot of transportation that could be used, but it depended on the situation. Generally speaking, in order to avoid trouble, the red ponytail would not use anything that Fangzheng had used before. After all, if someone saw it, it would be troublesome to ask about the relationship between the two.
In that case … Just then, Red Ponytail stopped her hand.
