The setting sun left its last afterglow on the mountains. The campfire in the camp on the hillside was lit up, and people were talking and laughing loudly around the fire.
In the mountains northwest of the Holy City, Ai Lisi Akat was passing the time like a year.
The atmosphere in the camp was very cheerful. Although this New Year's Winter Hunt was a last-minute idea, because of the addition of Ka Diya Akat, the strength of the participants had increased.
When they had reached the village at the foot of the mountain last night and heard that there was a giant poison-spitting bird dominating the mountain, driving other animals down the mountain to cause harm, the noble hunting party had been overjoyed. They had set off early this morning, with Prince Kane and the Marquis of Katya in the lead. The party had slaughtered the bird before noon, and they had even brought back many bird eggs along the way.
Working all the way until nightfall, the poisonous bird was burned to ashes. The rest of the feathers, head, meat, and eggs were all removed. Even the poison sac was prepared to be transported back to be used as a research material for spells.
Such a big victory, such a successful removal of a pest for the people, naturally there was a celebration. The open environment in the wilderness made the atmosphere more lively, but there was a clear difference in the mood of the silver-haired girl.
At this moment, Alisa was frowning. Her beautifully curved eyebrows were gently lowered. Her large eyes were filled with worry and sorrow that couldn't be erased. Her pitiful appearance was exceptionally lovable.
Although the girl was in the mountains, her heart had always been in the Holy City. Originally, she and Luo Ya should have attended the palace banquet together, and the Winter Hunt should have become a memory for the two of them. However, Luo Ya received an invitation from the Holy See.
It was sad that she couldn't spend the New Year with her brother. She didn't expect that Kai Yin and the others would send Nuo Aier, who was also alone, to the Labyrinth Pavilion. This was simply rubbing salt on Ai Lisi's wound.
Ai Lisi didn't hate Nuo Aier, and even looked forward to it. After all, the charm of the Princess was real. It was a strange feeling that made people want to follow and obey. If it wasn't for Luo Ya, Ai Lisi might really follow the Princess. Unfortunately, there was no 'if' …
When Ai Lisi met Luo Ya, it was like a withered flower meeting dew. Even if there were other water sources in the world that could make her grow more beautiful, she wouldn't choose anymore, because it was enough.
However, this gentle and kind brother of hers, who had limited talent, had actually become the target of the Princess Royal Highness! And now the two of them were under the same roof!
Danger! Luo Ya, danger!
Ai Lisi, who smelled the scent of a defeated dog, was very uneasy, but she couldn't do anything about it. The idea of rushing back was just a thought. The reality was that she could only sit on the log and taste the fresh bird meat, and then watch the uncles who were drinking heartily and singing loudly.
Unknowingly, it was late at night. Although the adults' revelry was still going on, it was time for children like Ai Lisi to sleep. In fact, the maids did tidy up the tent and soundproof curse vessel for Ai Lisi. This time, Anna, who was temporarily promoted to the head maid, followed. As the president of the fan club, she naturally had to take care of the future lady in her eyes.
"Miss, it's time to rest."
After a soft reminder, the maid led the silver-haired girl back to the tent, but she didn't expect to suddenly hear the voice of Marquis Ka Diya halfway.
"En? Emergency contact from the Labyrinth Pavilion? "
Bishop Philip felt that his life had encountered a small problem.
In the study of the Labyrinth Pavilion, the bishop, who was wearing a white robe and chain mail armor with a staff in his hand, was ready for battle. He stared at the boy and girl hugging on the ground in front of him and fell into deep thought for a while.
There was no doubt that the people on the ground were the targets he was ordered to save this time. The young master of the Akkat family, Luo Ya Akkat, and the beloved little princess of the Vatican, Nuo Aier Heathcliff. Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Philip should have been happy, but the problem was that the way these two children appeared was a bit strange.
They appeared out of thin air. It was not an exaggeration at all. They really appeared out of thin air after a flash of light.
In fact, when Philip received the order from John of the Holy See, he was scared out of his wits. When he heard that the little princess of Heathcliff was among the people to be rescued, he didn't dare to delay. Nuo Aier was the treasure of the Vatican and was supported by everyone. Therefore, as soon as he left the Holy Palace, Philip immediately set off.
A team of hundreds of judges, each of them experienced in battle, rushed to the Akkat family's Labyrinth Pavilion on horseback in a quarter of an hour. When Philip said that Luo Ya and Nuo Aier were in danger, the palace guards and the private army of the Akkat family didn't believe him.
What followed was chaos. The team of a hundred people, including the bishop of the Vatican, the senior judges, the commander of the guards, and the officers of the private army, rushed madly into the study like a hundred-meter race. Their faces were as white as paper, and the maid Mi Ya, who was outside the study, was so scared that she almost screamed.
Then, the door opened, and the men and women who were gasping for breath were dumbfounded. The study was empty, and there was no one in sight.
Looking at the empty study, not only did they not feel relieved, but they also panicked. The commander of the private army of the Akkat family immediately contacted the marquis, and the chief of the palace guards also began to report Kai Yin. Philip leaned on his stick and stared, wondering if the bishop of the Holy See had a bad memory due to old age and accidentally pointed at the wrong place.
In the midst of the chaos, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the study. Everyone present was an expert, and when they saw this scene, they all thought that it was an enemy attack. In an instant, the sound of swords being drawn filled the room. In a second, more than forty swords were drawn out of the room.
"Who is it? Where is the enemy? "
"What's going on?"
"Wait, there's someone in the light!"
"It's … It's His Highness!"
This was how Philip and the others discovered Luo Ya and Nuo Aier. However, the bishop didn't have the time to think about this. He didn't care how Luo Ya and Nuo Aier came or went, and he was focused on something else.
The bishop, who had been single for more than 40 years, looked at the children hugging each other, and fixed his gaze on their lips. If he guessed correctly, the little princess of the Vatican, the hope of the younger generation of the Theocracy, the chosen one, Nuo Aier, was actually kissing this stinking brat of the Akkat family before she fainted!
