"How can that be?"
You're not in power, and you can't change all of this. The environment is like this, and no one can change it. Even strength shouldn't be used as a weapon in a conflict. Conflict will only make life worse and not better. I don't think there's any problem with Mr. Xiao Ran. You can't think like that. "Xiao Ran nodded his head and said," You're not in power, and you can't change anything. The environment is like this, and no one can change it. Even strength shouldn't be used as a weapon in a conflict.
"Do you think so?" Xiao Ran smiled and said, "But as you said, I'm not in power, and I can't change all of this. The general environment can't be changed, and I shouldn't think that I'm hypocritical. But you, I found that your mood was a little strange after coming here. In fact, all of this wasn't caused by you. Why do you still immerse yourself in such sadness? If you have the heart to help them, there will be a chance to help them sooner or later."
"Mr. Xiao Ran …" You Fei was stunned. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and smiled. She glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "Mr. Xiao Ran, are you saying these words to comfort me?"
Xiao Ran spread his hands and smiled noncommittally, "Maybe."
You Fei looked at Xiao Ran, put down her hand, and bowed solemnly to Xiao Ran, "Mr. Xiao Ran, thank you very much for your company today. You let me see a lot of beautiful things and a lot of not-so-beautiful things. But I believe that those not-so-beautiful things will be slowly changed one day."
"If that's the case, that's great." Xiao Ran walked closer to You Fei and shrugged, "No matter whether this world will become better or not, at least before it becomes worse, I believe that there will be more people standing up to stop all of this. But this has nothing to do with a little girl like you. At your age, your task now should be to study hard and strive to make yourself more valuable. This way, you can use your own way to help those in distress without being affected."
"Well, it's already very late. I think if you don't go back, your family will be worried. Let's go, I'll send you back first."
"Okay." You Fei nodded obediently this time. During the time she escaped today, she had seen everything she wanted to see. The bustling city, the dilapidated ruins, the Britarians living superior lives, and the people of the 11th district living on the edge of death. These strong contrasts had a huge impact on her. After such a long time, You Fei indeed felt tired, not only physically, but mentally as well.
After the two began to return, the atmosphere wasn't as relaxed as before. Perhaps because she had seen too many uncomfortable scenes, although You Fei's face would still smile from time to time, her mood was indeed a lot lower than before.
On the other hand, Xiao Ran didn't console You Fei any further. In Xiao Ran's opinion, it would be great if You Fei could remain as kind as she was now. However, as a royal princess, she should also have her own thoughts and ideals. What she saw today wasn't necessarily a bad thing for You Fei. Instead, it was a necessary and necessary process for her growth.
As for whether Xiao Ran wanted to influence You Fei in any way, at least now wasn't the right time. After all, the two of them had only known each other for less than a day and there was a little bit of trust between them. But it would be wishful thinking to use this little bit of trust to influence her. Besides, even though You Fei was kind, how could she be foolish as a royal princess?
The two slowly made their way back to the city. Along the way, they saw many people hiding behind the ruins, looking at them with fear, hatred, and evil gazes. Fortunately, Xiao Ran was by You Fei's side, so they didn't encounter any danger along the way. But if it were You Fei who dared to come to an extremely chaotic place like the ruins alone, perhaps something bad would have happened. But in fact, the more important reason was that there were other things tailing them.
Xiao Ran glanced at the specially-made truck that appeared before him for the third time. Xiao Ran saw this truck once in the city and again when they arrived at the ruins. This was the third time he saw it since they were about to return to the city. This specially-made truck had been tailing them from afar, neither approaching nor disturbing them as though it was only protecting You Fei from behind.
But Xiao Ran knew very well that apart from the KF prototype called the Lancelot, there were only two people in the huge truck. One of them was a seemingly fragile man with a pair of glasses who was smiling all the time, and the other was a young woman who looked serious but was often at a loss. Therefore, if something happened, neither of them could protect You Fei well.
But there was another problem that Xiao Ran couldn't figure out. In Xiao Ran's mind, these two guys were definitely here for the Pivotal Vermilion Bird. Their purpose was to use You Fei's rights to release the Pivotal Vermilion Bird that was still detained for unknown reasons. But was it necessary to drag the Lancelot along with them all the time?
In Xiao Ran's opinion, the two people in the truck were probably bored out of their wits. They had nothing better to do than to drag such a huge truck around.
Xiao Ran suddenly stopped and pulled You Fei who was about to continue moving forward. When You Fei turned her head to look at Xiao Ran in confusion, Xiao Ran's voice rang in her ears, "Wait a minute, You Fei."
You Fei nodded and glanced around inexplicably. But with her observation ability, it was difficult for her to notice the huge truck that was following them. There were also more unfriendly gazes directed at her.
Xiao Ran pulled You Fei's arm and walked towards the parked truck. He let go of You Fei's hand and jumped to the side of the window. He gently knocked on the window twice until the window opened, revealing the figure of a young man with glasses and a woman in a military uniform. After that, he said in a slightly cold voice, "I say, the two of you, it's not appropriate to drag such a huge truck around from afternoon till now."
"Oh my god." The young man showed a surprised expression when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He tilted his head slightly and said to Xiao Ran with a smile, "Are you looking for the wrong person?"
"Come down, if you don't want to arouse my hostility." Xiao Ran directly opened the door and jumped to the ground. He stood in front of You Fei and said softly, "These two people and this truck have been following us since I met you. This is the third time I have seen this truck. If they are not sent by your family to protect you, then they are probably here for you. But I don't think anyone would send such a special truck to protect you."
Sophie, who was blocked at the back, was puzzled at first, but after hearing Xiao Ran's words, she was surprised. Then, she frowned slightly and looked at the bespectacled man and the young woman who appeared behind him, whom she also didn't recognize.
Looking at the man in the white coat and the woman in the military uniform, You Fei also obediently hid behind Xiao Ran, only revealing her head and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
Xiao Ran's words were not hidden from the two people who got out of the truck, so the man in glasses and the woman in the military uniform could also hear what Xiao Ran said. The excuse that she wanted to blurt out could not be said at this time. The woman was completely in a panic. She didn't know where to put her hands behind her back, and her eyes only looked at the man in glasses.
"Aiya, you actually found out. I thought no one would find out." The man in glasses narrowed his eyes and scratched his hair helplessly. He looked a little lazy, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. After laughing, the man in glasses put his hand on his chest and bowed in the direction of Xiao Ran. To be more precise, he bowed in the direction of You Fei who was behind Xiao Ran.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Third Princess. Lloyd Asprind sends his regards."
"Royal Highness?" Xiao Ran happened to be stunned, then turned his head to look at You Fei behind him, "Royal Highness? Are they talking about you? "
You Fei's big eyes blinked and looked at Xiao Ran. She raised her right index finger and replied with a confused face, "They should be talking about me, right?"
"Uh …" You Fei's cute pretense made Xiao Ran a little speechless, but soon You Fei covered her mouth and smiled. She nodded at Xiao Ran, "Yes, they should be talking about me."
"Britalia … the surname of the royal family?" Xiao Ran said in a somewhat surprised tone, "You Fei? You are a princess? "
You Fei stuck her tongue out at Xiao Ran, then looked at the man in glasses and said with a dissatisfied tone, "Why are you following us?"
The man who called himself Loide didn't have any panic on his face. He bowed and replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I suddenly saw Your Royal Highness on the road, but I found that Your Royal Highness didn't bring any attendants. I was worried that I would disturb Your Royal Highness, so I made the decision to follow Your Royal Highness to protect you."
"To protect me?" You Fei nodded in confusion, seeming to believe what Loide said. The young woman in the military uniform also nodded quickly, "Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Oh, so that's the case. Then I forgive you." You Fei looked at the two of them and nodded in confusion. "But I won't allow this to happen again. But how did you know that I'm a princess?"
Xiao Ran didn't know what to say about You Fei's naivety. If there was a problem with the identity of these two people, wouldn't they directly tie You Fei up? Isn't she too naive?
"Perhaps there is a way to identify me that I don't know?"
Xiao Ran shook his head. He looked at the man in glasses and the woman in uniform, but they didn't relax their vigilance because of You Fei's recognition. Xiao Ran naturally knew the identity of these two people, but he had to maintain a look of disbelief. At the same time, he took the initiative to knock on the window of the other party's car this time to take the initiative to contact this man in glasses.
Xiao Ran decided to join the Empire and use the Empire to help him build a suitable body. Among all the people in the 11th district, only this guy who single-handedly developed Lancelot had the ability to do so. He was also the next person that Xiao Ran must recruit.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in their ears. When they turned their heads to look in the direction of the roar, they saw rising black smoke and flames in an abandoned sports field. Xiao Ran once again pulled You Fei behind him, separating her from Loide and the woman in glasses.
You Fei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xiao Ran's actions, but the other two people who were separated looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. Then, You Fei's voice sounded, "Is that an explosion?"
"Yes, it seems to be an explosion caused by a battle between KF." Loide raised his waist and looked in the direction of the explosion, saying, "It seems to be an internal conflict between the pureblood factions in the military. This place is no longer safe. Princess, please follow us quickly."
"Internal conflict between the pureblood factions? Why? " You Fei didn't dare to believe or understand Loide's words. She directly asked her doubts and said, "How can this kind of thing continue to develop? We are all soldiers of the Empire. Why do we have to fight among ourselves? I want to stop them."
You Fei's words made the smiling Loide stunned. He looked at You Fei with a confused expression and said, "But Princess, this is very dangerous. We don't have a way to stop them. If you are in danger, I won't be able to explain it to the Empire."
You Fei ignored Loide and said firmly, "I'm the solution here. As long as I order them to stop using my identity as the Princess, everything will be fine. So Loide, I order you to take me there immediately."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Ran reached out and stopped You Fei. He looked at You Fei for a moment and asked, "You Fei, are you really the Princess?"
You Fei looked at Xiao Ran and lowered her head apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Xiao Ran. Euphemia Li Britalia is my name. I'm also the Third Princess of the Empire. I'm very sorry for lying to you before."
"No, if you say it out loud, it will make me feel like you lied to me." Xiao Ran shook his head and suddenly said with a smile, "Have you forgotten?"
You Fei looked up again in a daze, "What?"
Xiao Ran smiled, "I said that today I am your guardian and your knight. And I am very powerful. Since you were brought here by me, I have the obligation to ensure your safety. As the Empress, it is your duty to prevent the infighting among your subordinates. However, I will not allow you to fall into a dangerous situation, so leave the matter over there to me. "
With that, Xiao Ran turned to Lloyd and said in a deep voice, "For now, I believe that you're from the Empire. Judging from the load of this car, it should be attached to a KF. Give me the body and I'll stop the battle over there. I don't think you'll wait for Her Majesty's order before giving me the body."
