Tang En and his companions left Haier Zorm in the dragon carriage.
The Earth Dragon was indeed a special magical beast restricted by the Ryan Empire. It was not only fast, but also very stable. Of course, the most important reason was the shock-absorbing technology on the body of the carriage. At least, the passengers' buttocks would not suffer anymore.
On the plains, if the roads were good, a horse carriage could reach a speed of 20-30 kilometers per hour, and a land dragon could reach a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour, which was comparable to a small car. Of course, a small car was not as cool as a dragon carriage.
Olina could not help saying, "Earl Tang En, the road is very flat and empty now. You don't have to drive. Come in, it's windy outside …"
In order to act secretly, Tang En did not ask for a coachman. Instead, he acted as the coachman himself.
Queen Olina felt very sorry. Now, the only person she and her daughter could rely on was Tang En. It was too much to ask him to be the coachman.
Tang En said indifferently, "Your Highness, do you think I care about the wind? Compared to me, you need to pay more attention. After all, it's still very cold outside. "
When the dragon carriage was driving at high speed, the wind was very cold. Of course, Tang En did not care about it. But if it was Olina, it would be terrible.
Olina opened her mouth. She wanted to ask Aurelia to drive the dragon carriage instead of Tang En. But in her mind, Tang En did not know about Aurelia's strength. If it was exposed, it would be more troublesome.
Olina closed her mouth with guilt. She and Aurelia each took a seat on one side. The graceful queen could only take off her shoes and curl up in the corner of the sofa with a gloomy face, staring at her red toes in a daze.
Aurelia stared blankly at Tang En's back. At this moment, her feelings were even more complicated. He had clearly done all kinds of things to her and left her with such a humiliating past, but now she had no choice but to rely on him and trust him.
Aurelia did not know what kind of feelings she had for Tang En now. Especially after the death of her father and the announcement of Girard's coronation, Aurelia subconsciously relied on him because of her emotional collapse and her need to vent her feelings for Tang En.
She was resisting this feeling, but her instincts were still yearning for Tang En's protection. Only here, only by being by his side, could she obtain some sense of security.
After traveling east from Haer Zorm for half a day, they would enter the Matar Forest. The roads there were very troublesome, so they chose to turn north along the official road.
They did not stop along the way. Along the way, they only restocked on water in the passing villages and let the Earth Dragon rest for a while. Then they continued their journey. They did not stop until late at night when the Earth Dragon began to gasp for breath. At this time, there were no villages nearby, so they could only choose to camp.
Fortunately, they had Tang En with them, so they did not have to worry about sleeping in the wilderness. On the side of the official road, Tang En cast a spell and made a square stone house in minutes.
The cold air was blocked by the stone house. After a bonfire was lit, the stone house quickly warmed up. Tang En quickly took out the tableware and began to cook.
Staring at Tang En's movements, Olina and Aurelia were a little embarrassed. Although Irus had declined, they were born in the royal family, so they had never done this kind of thing before.
Now they were no longer the queen and princess, but they were still taken care of like this. The embarrassment made Olina restless. She could not help but get up and say, "Let me help."
"Hmm? Okay. "
Tang En nodded quickly and said, "After the water is boiled, put the oatmeal in and boil it. These are the vegetables and meat to be fried in the evening. Just cut them a little. I'll feed the Earth Dragon and cook when I come back."
After that, Tang En went out, leaving the mother and daughter in a daze.
"… Olina, do you know how to cut vegetables?"
Aurelia turned her stiff neck to look at her mother and said, "… No, it should be like cutting a person, right?"
"Don't talk about such a terrible topic!"
Olina could not help but tremble. Then she picked up the kitchen knife with trembling hands and said, "I remember that the maids seemed to do this …"
Tang En, who was feeding the Earth Dragon outside, did not consider that they could not cook at all. He subconsciously felt that women more or less knew how to cook, and since Olina asked for help, she must be confident, so he did not take it to heart.
"Eat, and run as fast as you can tomorrow."
Tang En touched the Earth Dragon's head. The Earth Dragon hummed comfortably and rubbed against him.
Tang En could not help laughing, "We just met today, but you are so close to me. Is it because of this body? But * * * … please forgive me. "
While he was talking, a scream suddenly came from the stone house. Tang En was stunned and rushed into the house instantly, "What's wrong!?"
Then he saw Olina covering her hand with tears in her eyes, and Aurelia fumbling for herbs in the luggage.
"Cut your hand? Let me see. "
Tang En was very surprised. He opened her hand and saw a deep wound. Then he looked at the vegetables that were cut crookedly. Tang En silently withdrew his sight, "Is it possible that … Her Highness doesn't know how to cook?"
After saying that, Tang En could not help knocking his head. Although they were both women, she was a pampered queen. It was natural that she did not know how to cook.
"Sorry, it's my fault."
Tang En sighed. He did not need to bother Nola with such a small wound. He took out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to Olina, "Take a sip."
Olina only hesitated for a moment before taking a sip. Then she felt a warm flow spreading rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it gathered on the wound, and then the wound healed quickly.
Aurelia then let out a sigh of relief.
"Sit down and have a rest. Leave it to me."
Tang En pointed to the chair beside him. Olina blushed and sat back silently.
Only now did she realize how useless she was if she was stripped of her status as the Empress.
Watching Tang En swiftly cutting, stir-frying and cooking the porridge, Olina and her daughter fell into an unspeakable silence once again.
"Let's eat."
Twain scooped out the dishes and called the two of them over. Then, he began to eat.
Olina and her daughter looked at the delicious dishes in front of them and then looked at the two small sticks, and they were confused again.
"Eat, why … Don't tell me you haven't learned how to use chopsticks …"
They shook their heads.
"I'm really … Forget it, forget it."
Tang En sighed. He had everything in his portable space, except for knives and forks.
He took out an iron ingot. Transparent alchemy flame spurted out from his palm, and the iron ingot was kneaded into two sets of knives and forks.
Only then did Olina and her daughter start to eat.
While eating, Tang En said, "According to today's speed, we still have four to five days to travel, which is earlier than expected. I hope your grandpa won't have any accident in the next few days."
"Grandpa Nitro is a nice person. If he hears the news from us, he won't take a stand."
Aurelia was very confident about this.
Olina swallowed the food in her mouth and wiped her mouth very demurely. Then she said, "Uncle Nitro is not a person who is easily fooled. I believe he cares more about the truth than I do."
Tang En nodded. "If he can join Ellington's camp, we will have the capital to fight against Girard."
Hearing Tang En's words, Olina hesitated for a moment and whispered, "How about … I ask my brother for help?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "The Queen's brother?"
Olina's brother was King Oscar of Ronicante. He used to dote on his sister very much. If it was Olina's request, there might be a chance.
But …
"Let's forget it."
Tang En shook his head. "Although it's reasonable, politically, Girard's matter is an internal problem of Irus. Once an internal problem is interfered with by other countries, the situation will be a lot more troublesome. I believe the Queen knew this very well when she married Victor. I believe your brother might be looking forward to your request for help. This is a legitimate opportunity to strengthen himself."
Ronicante had always existed as a commercial kingdom and was in a weak position militarily. However, if there was a chance to gain more territory, Tang En believed that Oscar wouldn't mind preparing more troops and taking advantage of the situation.
Not to mention the affection between siblings, in politics, there was only interest, cold and ruthless interest. Even if Oscar supported Olina to be the Queen of Irus again, it was also for Ronicante to gain more benefits.
"Don't think about that. Let us solve the internal problem of Irus ourselves, and we must solve it as soon as possible."
Tang En finished the oatmeal in one breath and said, "If the chaos continues, it will eventually evolve into a large-scale war. I don't want that to happen."
A large-scale war meant that a large number of people would die. The reduction of the population was very disadvantageous for Tang En to complete his ultimate task. He had to do his best to avoid this situation.
After gaining the support of the Lord of Nitro, he could gain more recognition among the people of the Irus Empire. The Princess, the Queen, and even the uncle of the late King were all on Ellington's side. Even those who believed in Girard's words would subconsciously doubt the truth of the coronation day.
As long as this goal was achieved, when the real truth was announced, there would be no resistance from the people.
Olina nodded silently as she gave up her naive idea.
After dinner, Tang En took out a set of bedding and threw himself on the stone bed. "Sleep. Although it's not as good as the velvet of the palace, it's the best conditions in the wild."
"What about you?"
Aurelia shrank her neck. Tang En only took out a set of bedding. Did he want to …
