Chapter 365

As a result, Orson was promoted to the seventh level quietly, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

"Then I would like to thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Orson said, showing a smile.

"It's nothing, it should be. After all, Orson, you are the pillar of the country." Elsa also smiled.

Then, she continued: "By the way, I can help you with this incident. How about it? Do you need my help?"

Of course, Orson could hear the implication of Elsa's words, but he still pretended not to understand and looked at Elsa: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Please forgive me for not knowing."

"Isn't it a rule set by the royal family to enforce the law impartially? As a member of the royal family and the direct heir to the royal family, your Royal Highness, Princess, should implement this concept.

right. "

"Whether it helps or not..."

"Knight Commander Langdon, can you please leave for a while? I have something I want to talk to Mr. Orson alone about." At this time, Elsa suddenly said.

"Okay." Langdon nodded and left.

Elsa kept looking at Orson.

It wasn't until the door closed as Langdon left that Elsa spoke:

"Orson, now that there are only two of us left here, there is no need for you to pretend."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Saying this, Orson lowered his head.

"There's a lot of your influence in this matter, right?"

"I can help you smooth these things over so that others can't trace you."

Elsa stated her request bluntly.

"You know, my father values ​​the emperor's brother very much now, so he leaves the affairs of the army to him."

"I can only deal with inconsequential things like justice, but even so, I want you to know that investing in me will not go wrong."

"Just pretend it's not to protect you, but also for the sake of your brother Li Teuk. If this matter is handled well, Li Teuk's future will not be affected. On the contrary, if it is publicized in a big way, even if Li Teuk is the rightful party, , and his reputation will be ruined in the future.”

"What's more, you should also know who a new gang has appeared in the underground recently, and the core member of the gang, Mr. Oson, right?"

"..." Orson looked at Elsa's actions and frowned.

Then, he stood up and looked down at Elsa.

"Your Highness, now, I hope I am speaking to you on a relatively equal footing."

As he said this, Orson's tone was slightly angry.

After all, what the other party just said could be said to be threatening him with Li Te.

"As your Royal Highness, there are many ways to get help. Do you have to use this method?"

"Or, is my support that important to you, so important that you risk the breakdown of our relationship as classmates and colleagues?"

"Um... Orson, that's not what I meant..." Elsa said, realizing that she might have said something wrong and touched Orson's reverse scale, making Orson feel unhappy.

Then, for the first time, she, a princess, apologized to the son of a duke whose status was lower than hers.

"I'm sorry, Orson, I just want to tell you that I can help you a lot, and I don't mean to threaten you..."

Looking at Elsa who was in panic in front of him, Orson sighed.

"Your Highness, you must make your own decisions when doing things. You don't need to consider others."

"They say seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I believe that Princess, you must know this truth better than me after growing up in the royal family for so many years."

Then, Orson turned around and left the interrogation room, leaving Elsa sitting there in a daze.

…

"Okay, let's go." As soon as Orson went out, he found that the three people under interrogation were still sitting outside waiting for him.

He could understand Leeteuk and Virgil, but what surprised him the most was that the lion stayed here.

"Um, thank you very much for what happened today, Master Orson." The orange-haired half-orc girl stepped forward, looked at Orson, bowed to him, and said thank you.

"When I go back today, I will tell the boss that you helped me. As for this favor, if you need to trouble me in the future, just come to Youlan Tavern to find me."

Saying this, the lion turned around and left here.

Orson looked at the lion's leaving figure and sighed.

"Orson, what are you regretting?" Li Te's voice came to his ears at this moment.

I just don’t know why, but this voice makes people feel a little chilly.

Chapter 103: It’s early

"Of course." The guard nodded after hearing this. "To be honest, Lord Drizzt can be said to be one of the best city lords in the empire."

"Oh? Why did you say that?" The doctor looked at the guard with interest.

"Well..." the guard paused, and then said: "Before Lord Drizzt fell ill, he basically worked in the office for more than twelve hours every day. The entire city was in order under his governance."

"Furthermore, Lord Drizzt himself is also very simple in life, except for this time

In addition to the high cost of medical treatment, even the permanent servants have been laid off, and only some hourly workers are hired to clean the room and cook. "

"If you think this is just my one-sided statement, you can ask others and see what they think of Lord Drizzt."

"Okay." The doctor nodded.

He walked to the door with the guard, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked: "By the way, Mr. Guard, what did you do before?"

"Ah..." The guard paused after hearing this question, and then said: "To be honest, my family was actually quite well-off before."

"My family does business in Constant City, and it is also well-known here."

"Oh?" The doctor was a little interested in the guard's life experience after hearing this.

"Then why did you come here to be a guard?"

"This..." The guard hesitated, but still said: "Actually, a few years ago, my sister Susie disappeared inexplicably."

"My father couldn't find Susie no matter how hard he looked. You know, Susie is like a jewel in our family. She is young, beautiful, well-educated, and our whole family likes her very much."

"But she just disappeared suddenly."

"After Susie disappeared, my father couldn't focus on business. Every time he made a little money, he would ask the detective to collect information about Susie, but there was no news for several years."

"My father fell ill a year ago, and the family owed a lot of debts because of looking for Susie. In the end, we had to sell all our property to barely pay off the debts..."

"But my father still didn't make it to the day he saw Susie." The guard said this and sighed. "After that, because our two families have a good relationship and I have some brute force, Lord Drizzt asked me to be his guard and guard the gate for him."

"Is that so?" Hearing this, the doctor also felt sympathy for the guard's experience. "Look at it more open-mindedly, Mr. Guard."

"Yes, I have already looked at it open-mindedly." The guard said with a forced smile.

"Besides, Lord Drizzt has promised that he will help me find Susie."

"That's good." The doctor nodded. "At least, with the help of the Baron Mayor, it is definitely one step closer to finding your sister."

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go back to the inn first, and I'll come again when Lord Baron wakes up at night."

"Okay, thank you, doctor," the guard said, bowing to the doctor.

The doctor left the Baron's mansion, and he did not return to his inn immediately, but wandered around the city.

After finishing all his previous things, he could relax and observe the city carefully.

Although the population is less than 50,000 and it can only be regarded as a small city, the streets of Constant City are clean and the citizens' spirits look good.

Most importantly, the doctor did not see any slums in the city along the way.

Thinking of this, the doctor randomly found residents on the street and asked them about Drizzt's character.

"Mayor Drizzt? He is very good." A middle-aged woman said. "During the festival last year, he sang to the children in the square and gave gifts to the citizens."

"Baron?" In the tavern, a middle-aged man heard this name, and his eyes, which were originally a little hazy, suddenly brightened, and there was a hint of respect in his tone.

"Baron is someone I respect very much."

"Uncle Drizzt?" A little girl smiled when she heard Drizzt's name downstairs of a residential building. "I still remember that my parents and I were still living in the slums of the city two years ago, but it was demolished last year. We moved into a new home, and my parents both got decent jobs. We are living a happy life!"

In this city, everyone smiled involuntarily when they heard the name of Trist, which surprised the doctor.

He has been to many cities, but it is rare to see a lord like Constant City where the residents have such a unified voice.

It can be said that he is a good lord who practices benevolent governance.

When the doctor thought about what he was going to do in the evening, his heart fell into a contradiction.

…

On the other side, Orson, Litt, Virgil and Elsa returned to the academy in the same carriage.

In the carriage, the atmosphere was quite awkward.

After all, Elsa is the princess of the empire. Although she is now a classmate of the people present, it is obvious that the other three are still quite uncomfortable with being squeezed in this small space with Elsa.

After considering the seats, Virgil and Orson sat on one side of the carriage, while Elsa and Litt sat on the other side of the carriage.

Along the way, the four of them didn't say a word.

I just scolded Elsa in the interrogation room in a serious tone.

If Orson spoke again, he wouldn't be able to find any topic.

And Virgil was originally Orson's subordinate. If Orson didn't speak, he wouldn't take the initiative to speak.

As for Litt, who was sitting next to Elsa...

She had been ignoring the princess beside her, but stared at Orson, which made Orson a little uncomfortable.

The four people didn't get off the carriage until the carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy.

Just as the four entered the academy and were about to go their separate ways, Elsa suddenly called Orson.

"Um, Orson..."

"Just now, I'm sorry..." As she said this, as a princess, she actually bowed to Orson.

If there were no other people around at the moment, this matter would definitely be a hot topic in the academy tomorrow.

"I... I apologize to you as a classmate, don't get me wrong." With that, without waiting for Orson to reply, Elsa turned around and walked towards Afro who was waiting for her not far away.

Lit narrowed his eyes, stood on tiptoe, and sniffed at Orson's cheek.

"What are you doing, Lit!" Orson was startled by this action, and quickly dodged to the side, looking at her in surprise.

"I just want to smell whether Orson has the smell of another woman." Lit said.

"How could there be!" Orson said this, and couldn't help but gently tapped Lit's little head.

"Be more careful in the future, don't get so close to me all the time..."

"Are you...shy, Orson?"

"No!" Orson shook his head, looked around, and after making sure there was no one else, he said, "You little girl, you still want me to be shy, it's too early!"

Chapter 104: Happy Cooperation

Orson and Lit returned to the dormitory. Lit closed the door, and then, impatiently hugged Orson's waist at the entrance.

Her little cheek was tightly pressed against Orson's back, feeling Orson's body temperature and familiar smell, and she felt very relieved.

Feeling Lit's movements, Orson paused, and then said helplessly:

"Lit, although this is at home, we are just brothers and sisters, please restrain yourself a little."

"I restrained myself very much." Lit said, and buried his face deep again.

"I was busy outside before, and I didn't talk to you, Orson, when I came back. I really missed you, Orson."

"Just think of it as a sister missing her brother after not seeing him for a long time, Orson." Lit said this to justify Orson's actions.
