Chapter 688 The Princess Is Captured

After Anne left with a look of doubt on her face, Avis was about to continue drinking tea and reading the newspaper, but at this moment, his movements suddenly paused.

Along with Avis's movements, Fiona's figure quietly appeared in front of the tall arched window of the study.

Today, the girl was wearing a dark blue layered dress with a white ruffled base. The gorgeous fabric had a texture that sparkled like thousands of stars, but the hem of the dress had a piece of white fabric similar to an apron, and the chest was decorated with a black bow ribbon.

The light golden sunlight shrouded her through the stone window, making her small body glow with a hazy and beautiful halo, like a little princess from a fairy tale.

However, the girl's big lake blue eyes were a little hesitant at this moment, as if she was worried about something.

"Dear Lord, what can I do for you?"

Glancing at Fiona's hesitant look, Avis closed the newspaper and asked at the same time.

"Um... Is it really okay for us to treat Annie like this?"

With a light breath, Fiona decided to muster up the courage to mention this to Anvis.

In fact, Anvis didn't have that many documents to deal with on a daily basis. He recently just specifically told his subordinates to reduce some of the work, gather those troublesome events that needed to be dealt with together, and give them to Annie to "learn".

Fiona was also aware of this, but since it was specially arranged by Anvis, considering that there might be some deep meaning, the girl decided to observe for a while.

It's just that recently, Annie's daytime trance has become more and more serious, and Fiona feels a little bit sorry.

After all, many things look simple on the surface, but they are not easy to deal with in reality, such as the renovation and expansion of the territory's infrastructure, interest disputes among the people, and the management of foreign affairs.

If you just want to get by and be a salary thief, then it doesn't matter if you deal with it casually. But Annie's original intention was to help Fiona govern the city, so she had to distinguish carefully, and the result was that the workload instantly increased countless times.

She is not like Avis, who looks like a fifth-level but is actually an eighth-level. Her daily work consumes a lot of her energy.

As a true fifth-level professional, she has been working hard for a month without sleep. Even if Avis provides recovery potions, her physical fitness can withstand it, but her spirit will be tired.

"I understand your thoughts, Lord, but this is a process that Adjutant Annie will have to go through sooner or later."

Hearing Fiona's question, Avis raised his eyebrows slightly and his expression became serious.

"I can't stay with you forever. When I leave, Miss Anne will take my place and help you govern the territory as the new adjutant of the city lord.

Ms. Anne is loyal enough to you, but her personal qualities need to be improved. So, before leaving, I will try my best to let Miss Anne learn and master enough experience in managing the city.

This process may be a little painful, but I can ensure that it will not cause any permanent damage to her."

"I know, brother... Adjutant Boli, are you leaving?"

However, after listening to Avis's explanation, Fiona's first focus was not on Anne, but on the intention to leave revealed in Avis' words, and her eyes instantly showed reluctance.

"I'm not going to leave for the time being, but who can be sure of what will happen in the future."

Shaking his head, Avis comforted the girl with a smile and successfully diverted her attention.

When Fiona left, Avis casually took out a few documents from the pile of documents that Anne had processed, glanced at them roughly, and felt that there was no big problem. So he waved his hand and sent these documents to his subordinates according to categories, letting them execute them on their own.

After all, it was to "train" Anne's ability. Even if she did make some mistakes, she had to bear the consequences and find a way to solve them herself.

"Well... has it started?"

After sending Anne and Fiona away, Avis, who was about to continue fishing, suddenly felt something and stopped for the second time.

The thread of fate that he had been paying attention to suddenly fluctuated, which meant that the opportunity for the "Yellow Book" to leave Landon that he had been waiting for finally arrived.

.

….….

"What did you say? Paola is missing?!"

At the same time, Landon, who was communicating with someone using a crystal ball, suddenly heard the bad news and couldn't help but exclaimed.

In the past, with the help of Dark Crow, he disguised himself as the seventh-level spellcaster White Crow and had an ambiguous cooperative relationship with Princess Paola of the Black Feather Kingdom.

At that time, when Landon secretly sneaked into the restricted area of ​​the Black Feather Palace to search for a treasure, his identity was accidentally exposed by Her Royal Highness the Princess. But Princess Paola did not expose him. Instead, she covered for him, allowing him to succeed without any danger and leave safely.

In return for helping him, Landon served as Princess Paola's personal guard for a period of time.

Princess Paola is the youngest princess of King Black Feather. Although the king loves her very much, she is young and weak. And because the old King Black Feather's physical condition has been getting worse recently, many brothers are eyeing her covetously, and her situation is very bad.

During his time as a personal guard, Landon helped her resolve several crises, and as a bridge, helped her secretly establish contact with the rebels, allowing her to gain the power to protect herself.

Paola was very grateful for Landon's help, and Landon also took good care of her as if she were his own sister.

The news of Paola's disappearance came from the members of the resistance army who stayed in the Black Feather Kingdom. They were specially ordered by Landon to keep an eye on Paola's situation for him.

After receiving this news, Landon immediately contacted the resistance forces of the Federation and commissioned them to investigate Paola's whereabouts.

According to the results of the emergency investigation of the resistance army, many clues point to the seventeenth prince, Ao Temo Black Feather.

Unlike Paola, Prince Ao Temo is one of the most powerful princes, and his own talent is also very outstanding. He is regarded by many nobles as the next candidate for the King of Black Feather.

It just so happens that the old King of Black Feather is seriously ill recently, and many princes and princesses are busy fighting for power. No one cares about the disappearance of the youngest princess. After all, this saves them the effort of doing it themselves.

Just when Landon was thinking about how to save people, he unexpectedly received a letter from Prince Ao Temo.

The general idea of ​​the letter is that Princess Paola is in my hands. If you want her to be safe, exchange her with the book in your hand. At the end of the letter is the specific location and exchange method.

After receiving the letter, Landon immediately prepared to leave for the Black Feather Kingdom.

"Are you crazy? Landon, do you know what the book in your hand means? That is your real hope for rise! Now you are risking losing it just to save a woman!?"

The unbelievable roar of the Dark Crow sounded in Landon's mind. It could not understand Landon's decision.

But after listening to Landon's words, the Dark Crow finally fell silent.

"I will not give up anyone around me, Lord Dark Crow. If you encounter similar dangerous situations in the future, no matter how great the price is, I will also choose to save you without hesitation."

There was an inexplicable light flashing in his dark eyes. Facing the light golden sunlight, Landon grinned, and his smile was so bright that it even made the Dark Crow feel a little dazzling.
