Chapter 2429 Honor Guard

The so-called sincerity comes first, and response comes later.

Duke Sim stood in front of the door with a penitent look on his face and could not even move. Whether it was his expression, attitude, body posture or temperament, there was a strong sense of sincerity from the inside out.

Regardless of whether Princess Aurora will forgive him or not, I have forgiven him in my heart anyway, and at the same time, I have given him a new label - a sophisticated and scary old man.

Yes, in my opinion, Duke Sim is terrible. This is not in any derogatory sense, but purely a compliment to his flexible character.

If it were me, I wouldn't be able to lower my head.

Especially being able to ignore the crowd and show repentance calmly and calmly. This mental endurance alone is truly terrifying.

The door opened, and Princess Aurora stood quietly at the door. Her beautiful eyes were indifferent, and she was graceful and luxurious. Her temperament, as uncontaminated by the world as a lotus, and as noble and inviolable as a peony, emanated from her bones and was completely natural. , there is no sense of pretentiousness.

Duke Sim was able to conclude almost immediately that the dwarf girl in front of him was definitely that daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wychburg.

Without hesitation, Duke Sim bowed and said solemnly: "I, Duke Sim of Moonlight City, pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess."

"No gift," Princess Aurora said calmly: "I wonder why the Duke is here to visit us?"

"I" hesitated for a moment, then Duke Sim gritted his teeth and said resignedly: "I'm here to apologize!"

Princess Aurora didn't even glance at Marion and his son. She just looked at Duke Sim indifferently and said softly: "I have never met the Duke, so how can I apologize?"

With a plop, Duke Sim knelt down on one knee and performed a prostration ceremony. He burst into tears and said: "Yesterday, at the Adventurers' Guild, my family offended His Highness's power. It is really because of my lax family discipline and tutoring. You are a fool, I beg you to be punished by Your Highness the Princess!"

After saying this, he lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, looking like he was ready to be punished.

Whether it was acting or showing true feelings, Duke Sim's attitude instantly shattered Princess Aurora's resentment.

The princess moved lightly and came to the Duke. She gently supported him with both hands and fancied him. She personally brushed the dust off his knees and sighed softly: "Grandpa, why are you doing this?"

Duke Sim let out a long sigh: "I should have been punished for attacking His Highness, but they are my family after all. I can't bear to have a white-haired person give away a black-haired person."

"How can there be any capital crime?" Princess Aurora shook her head lightly: "Besides, there is no crime for those who don't know. I have no intention of pursuing this matter."

Duke Sim bowed and bowed again, and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, for your kindness."

After he straightened up, he waved his big hand, and a dozen strong and strong men rushed in from outside the onlookers, all carrying shoulder bags, full of gift boxes.

Princess Aurora said in surprise: "Your Excellency, this is"

"Your Highness, please don't blame me. It was the old man who made the initiative without permission. This is just a small gift. It is considered as my apology and my gratitude to the princess. I hope that your highness will never refuse."

With a slight sigh, Princess Aurora returned the gift and said: "The Duke is interested. Since it is your heart, I will accept it."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess." Duke Sim's face full of sorrow finally saw the sunshine.

An insider among the onlookers recounted what happened yesterday from front to back, which caused an uproar among the other onlookers. They turned their angry gazes on Marion and his son and looked at Duke Sim with admiration.

The notoriety of Marion and his son and Duke Sim's generosity were like a stink bomb, spreading instantly. In less than a day, Duke Sim was regarded as someone who knew right from wrong, who was willing to tear off his old face for his family and justice, and came to apologize. The Marion father and son have become typical figures, and the Marion father and son have become detestable figures who look like a bunch of viruses when they walk on the street.

The gifts given by Duke Sim to apologize were truly astonishingly numerous and of astonishingly high value, almost as much as the price of the wall decorations in Phoenix's room.

Don’t get me wrong, when I say this, I am not belittling Duke Sim’s apology ceremony. On the contrary, I greatly praise Duke Sim’s sincerity. You know, the wall decorations in Phoenix and their rooms are almost every painting and every hanging. At first, when decorating the walls, in order to satisfy them, I even spent one-third of the monthly income of the airship base!

If this huge amount of money is invested in urban construction, a small town with high walls and solid cities can be built out of thin air.

Therefore, Duke Sim's sincerity is still full.

But his sincerity is of little use to my family.

Those extremely exquisite-looking jewelry were not welcomed by the family. Instead, they made the four little girls happy, and they used these expensive gadgets like yo-yos.

Especially those necklaces made of pearls the size of thumb caps were torn apart by the little princess Analetta into a pile of pearls, and the one who instigated her to do this was none other than the shady little Lolita, Little Remi.

Some people may raise objections. If little Remi is so good, why is she called a nefarious person?

The answer to this question is actually very simple, because little Remi has always been sullen and mischievous. No matter how much trouble she causes, she never does it herself. Instead, she relies on insinuations and encourages the other three little lolita. When the incident comes to light, she acts like Just like a normal person, she giggled and pretended to be stupid. Unless Phoenix scolded her sternly, she refused to admit her mistakes to anyone else, including me. Even if I spanked her and taught her a lesson, she would still laugh and laugh non-stop.

On weekdays, Fenghuang rarely interferes with things. Most of the time, she just stays by my side, like a vase that has no use other than to look good.

This kind of indifferent attitude directly contributed to Xiao Remi's arrogance.

I don't think it will take long for little Remi to be dubbed the Little Devil, and the other three Lolita will be given the honorary title of Little Devil's accomplices.

The third day after the apology incident.

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

On this day, flowers pave the road and water sprinkles the streets.

On this day, both sides of the wide streets of Moonlight City were filled with fully armed Rose Legion adventurers. They wore bright and mighty dresses, and their swords were well maintained. They stood upright, and the wind blew. They didn't move, even when small flying insects crawled onto their faces, they didn't react at all. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of their chests and abdomen, I would even suspect that this was the most satisfying work of art created by a group of master sculptors.

The Fairy Queen smiled sideways and said, "Haha, Xiaoyi, is this your first time seeing the honor guard of the Rose Legion?"

"It's indeed the first time I've seen one," I confessed truthfully, "I always thought that the Rose Legion only had combat divisions and no flashy honor guard divisions."

"Flashy? Haha." The Fairy Queen shook her head and said, "That's because you don't understand the role of the Honor Guard."
