Chapter 34: Himan Suffered a Soul-Searching Question

Ye Wangxue looked at Hall’s back as he walked in front of her. He didn’t stop, nor did he look back.

It seemed that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

‘What’s he so proud of? Do I, the princess, care about his identity?’

She just wanted to know someone in advance on the Western Continent.

Yes, if she was to escape her marriage and flee to the Western Continent, she would be in an unfamiliar place. It would be great to know someone in advance.

The black-haired young man had given her a pretty good impression.

“You’ll regret it later. After I join your Salvation Order, I’ll definitely be promoted to one of the Seven Sages in the future. You’re so talented, you’ll definitely be one of the Seven Sages in the future too, right? Even if you’re not, I’ll have your back. Don’t you understand? This is only good for you, with a hundred benefits and no harm.”

Ye Wangxue continued to emphasize.

“Forget it, forget it, don’t say any more. We’re almost there. After you go out, just walk east and don’t look back. I’ll go check on Mandosha Flower for you.”

“Heh, in a hurry to see your old lover, right?”

“I’ve already said I don’t know her.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Believe it or not.”

Seeing that Hall was impervious to persuasion, Ye Wangxue thought to herself, “What’s wrong with him?”

So she took off her veil directly, revealing her small, beautiful face, which was still a bit angry.

Hall was not too surprised by her sudden reveal. He had mainly seen it in the game’s portrait. But after seeing the real person, he could only say.

She was more beautiful than in the game’s portrait. That extraordinary sense of reality was something he could never experience when playing the game.

Ye Wangxue was indeed very beautiful. She had a bewitching and cold plum blossom mark on her forehead. Every time she frowned, it would make one think of the phrase “a beauty in the north”.

“I’m not ugly, what’s wrong with asking about your identity?”

“What kind of logic is that?”

Hall’s counter-question made Ye Wangxue stunned.

In fact, she had subconsciously thought of her teacher’s words just now.

That Thousand Blade Sword Ghost was known as a master who had mastered a thousand kinds of weapons in the world. In the old man’s eyes, everything could be a sword.

And when she left her apprenticeship and planned to go to Saint Louis to do something big, the old man told her one more thing at their parting.

“My dear disciple, remember that you can use a woman’s sword when necessary. If a woman’s sword is used properly against a man, it can make him dazed for a while, and if it is used heavily, it can break his soul for a lifetime.”

In fact, she didn’t know it when she first left, until she heard a house servant say that the Thousand Blade Sword Ghost was not bloodthirsty in his early years, but it was said that a very beautiful woman had died in his arms thirty years ago.

—Princess, your appearance, your beauty is your weapon. I think you also know your imperial father’s intentions, right?

—It’s all the same.

Ye Wangxue was very angry. She was going to use her ultimate move. Since she was born, no one had ever said that the little princess of the Great Xia was not as beautiful as ice and jade, and did not have the appearance of a beauty that could make the moon hide.

And in order for her to marry into the Papal State smoothly, those ministers in the court had even hired some famous Western women to be her teachers, to teach her Western noble etiquette, to teach her how to wear an evening dress elegantly, to wear it in a way that could crush all other women at the party.

In the words of her etiquette teacher, “When you appear, all other women should bow their heads for you.”

But now she couldn’t find any special clothes, so she could only do this.

“I see you’re not wearing a veil. If you get caught by someone when you go out later, it’s not my business.”

“Hmph, you just wait!”

Ye Wangxue had originally wanted to point her sword at Hall, but she remembered that “Moonbound” was still in Hall’s hands.

So she pointed at him with her finger.

The black-clad young man was not interested in this and just wanted to send this princess away as soon as possible.

Not to ever see each other again in this life.

At the same time.

Saint Louis, the underground street of the sixth district.

Leticia and Moyel successfully rendezvoused with the Judgment Bureau. Seeing that there was no opportunity, several elite swordsmen from the Great Xia chose to retreat.

But their rendezvous with the Judgment Bureau was a bit awkward.

The person in charge of this area was Himan, and the investigator Yafman who had been to Hall’s place before.

“Why are you here, and you’re still being chased by spies from the Xia Kingdom?”

Seeing those swordsmen retreat, Himan also asked the doubts in her heart.

“Miss Himan doesn’t need to ask. The young lady came here to buy some items, but she didn’t expect to be targeted by spies from the Xia Kingdom who had infiltrated Saint Louis.”

Moyel answered calmly.

A tactful person should be like Yafman next to Himan, who said nothing.

Obviously, that investigator understood the unwritten rules.

And Himan’s expression was obviously doubting that Leticia and Moyel came to the underground street to buy contraband.

So in order to avoid further trouble.

Moyel added before Himan asked: “Because of the sudden appearance of the Xia Kingdom spies, the young lady did not buy what she wanted.”

Now Himan didn’t pursue the matter further, but just muttered, “There are many swindlers in the underground street, it’s not safe.”

Leticia, on the other hand, was looking back from time to time at this moment, with a worried look on her face.

She was worried about Hall. Hall had stayed there alone, and she didn’t know how many enemies were still there.

And the three elite swordsmen who had just chased them would undoubtedly add to Hall’s burden when they returned.

She signaled to Moyel. Moyel had originally thought that it would be good if something happened to Hall, so the young lady wouldn’t be distracted.

But then she thought that he had stayed there to protect her and the young lady.

But he…

could he really be a spy from the Xia Kingdom?

Moyel didn’t dare to completely rule out her suspicion of Hall, because his arrival was too coincidental.

It was just right, so right that it was as if he knew the script in advance, and even pointed out the way for them.

As he had predicted, besides the swordsmen who had been chasing them from the beginning, no other enemies came along the way.

At this time, a specialist from the Judgment Bureau came to this place and suddenly submitted a report to Yafman.

After Yafman briefly scanned it, he suddenly looked at Himan: “By the way, Miss Himan, it seems that someone has witnessed your cousin Hall Faxtius. We have now confirmed that Hall Faxtius is not in the Faxtius family’s mansion. He should have also come to the underground street.”

Now Himan was stunned. She remembered the information she had seen in the emergency magic document before they parted.

Hall’s name was marked in red in it.

Could he really be a Western spy?

Yafman’s mention of Hall at this moment was very obvious. He was indeed highly suspected.

So Himan said: “If the Faxtius family really has a traitor, I will personally send him to prison to reflect.”

When she said this, she felt a little difficult, because if the crime of espionage was serious, he might be sentenced to death for heresy.

At the very least, Hall’s noble title would be stripped.

Why him, why didn’t he listen to her advice?

He did whatever he wanted every day. Were the female spies from the Xia Kingdom that good?

It was useless for her to defend him.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, Moyel also wanted to guard the young lady.

She said: “Just now, the young lady and I were attacked by spies from the Xia Kingdom. Those people intended to capture the young lady. It was Hall who helped us, but his timing was too coincidental…”

“Moyel, don’t say any more. Hall can’t possibly be a traitor!”

The usually frail Leticia cut off her female knight’s words decisively.

Himan could see trust in those rose-colored pupils.

An unparalleled, unshakable trust.

So she said: “Duchess Leticia, we can’t make a conclusion yet. You can’t completely believe…”

“Why can’t I believe him? And why don’t you believe him, Miss Himan?”

The rose-colored princess interrupted Himan just as she had interrupted Moyel.

Himan was asked to the point where she didn’t know what to say.

She felt like she was being suppressed by this girl who was younger than her.
