Among the cheering crowd, there was a beautiful girl in yellow dress, jumping excitedly and laughing along with the people. The equally young female companion next to her seemed to be in a panic, looking around.
The girl's arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. She didn't have time to see who it was and wanted to resist. But the man who caught him had bones as hard as iron and was extremely strong. She couldn't move at all and had to give up resistance. Everyone around them was busy cheering for the final winner, and no one could notice them at all.
Therefore, she felt that even her efforts to shout were in vain, so she had no choice but to follow the man obediently.
Turning to the sparsely populated alley next to the square, the girl struggled and refused to go any further. She asked angrily: "What are you doing? Do you always have this kind of etiquette when meeting the princess? Who gave you such power?"
The man let her go. Apparently he believed that the princess was already under his control and protection and that there would be no further problems. Otherwise he won't let go easily.
"Captain Green, when did you become a criminal who kidnapped young girls? You must know how severely this kind of crime will be punished in our country?" The princess stared, her cute little mouth curled up. But she didn't look scary at all.
Glenn left Althea, but in the blink of an eye, Princess Imaya could no longer be seen. Thousands of people were now pouring into the streets, and it was not easy to find the two girls who had disappeared into the crowd.
But Glenn was worried, and besides, he wouldn't be able to find Althea even if he turned around. He could only find the princess with difficulty in the huge crowd.
Every place was crowded with people, which made him even more worried about the princess' safety. The most crowded and noisy place is the Municipal Square. While he was patrolling back and forth in the square, the arrogant Hercules Turai happened to be inviting a fight. He didn't want to take this opportunity to show off his skills in front of everyone. Besides, he also knew that professional soldiers could not compete on stage.
While he was hesitating, he saw people surrounding Trinville on the high platform, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Trinville's skills only too well. They had competed countless times in the military camp. He also taught Trinville many fighting skills, some of which were suitable for a tall and strong warrior like him, so they could be used more easily.
He watched with cold eyes, knowing that Trinville would win without a doubt. Although Turrai was born with divine power, Trinville would not necessarily lose to him in a competition of strength alone. What's more, Trinville's skill is not comparable to Turai's.
He looked for the princess with peace of mind, hoping that it would be great if the princess could return to the palace on her own. Hearing the cheers like a tsunami, he knew that Trinville had won, and in a short time, which was beyond his expectation.
He smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to turn around and continue searching, the delicate laughter not far away made his eyes light up. His keen ears were sure to hear correctly. It must be Princess Imaya cheering for his friend's victory.
Sure enough, he saw the kingdom's little princess and her female attendants at a glance. While the princess was still cheering for joy, he quietly approached her, grabbed her arm, and took her to a quiet alley with few pedestrians.
The princess already knew who the person who caught her was, so she followed him aggrievedly but quietly.
If she normally ran out to play secretly and relied on her parents' favor, she wouldn't be afraid of being severely punished. However, today is a special day, but I can't help but feel a little worried. "Maybe his mother sent him to look for her." She thought to herself and couldn't help but worry.
Therefore, as soon as Glenn let go of her hand, she immediately blamed him, hoping that he would retreat. "But the man in front of me doesn't look like someone who can be repelled with words." She thought, muttering in her heart.
"Your Highness, I took the liberty of catching you. If I offended you, please forgive me. But I did it entirely for the safety of the princess. It is very inappropriate for you to appear here at this time."
"What do you mean?" the princess raised her little face and said loudly, "I am the princess of Apodoli, I love my subjects, and they all love me. Could it be that there are people on the bustling streets of Barbukle? Are you plotting against me secretly? I don’t think anyone would dare to kidnap the princess of the kingdom like you."
Facing the beloved but willful and unruly little princess of the kingdom, Grayne still replied calmly: "I am not the kind of person who is scared out of his wits when he hears the news, and I have no doubt about the people of Apodoli. My love for you. But a little caution never goes amiss."
Princess Imaya is still arguing. Her face turned red and she said, "It is not imprudent for me to rejoice with my subjects. No one can stop me!"
Glenn didn't want to get too involved with this young princess. He politely and without question ordered the princess to follow him. "No one can stop me!" he said.
The young maid also persuaded the princess to listen to Captain Glenn. "Princess, we have been out for too long. I cannot bear such a responsibility. I should be happy to participate in such a grand event, but I am not happy at all."
"Miss Smidl, are you unhappy with me? Haven't you been looking forward to attending this event as long as I have?"
"Yes. But when I think of the princess of the kingdom standing next to me, I tremble with fear. I have been thinking wildly in my heart, how can I be happy?"
The princess looked at her, restrained her bravado and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Miss Smidle. I didn't take care of you, and I didn't know you were always worried about me."
Glenn said: "The one who is really worried about you is actually Her Majesty the Queen. I think you have been away from her for too long."
The princess knew that Gray would not be intimidated by her and give in. "He is a person who will never give up until he reaches his goal." When I think about it, if I am stubborn and don't follow his advice, I will never be able to get rid of him no matter where I go. If you are always followed by a majestic Guards captain, it will definitely be boring to play.
She had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "As the princess of Apodoli, I can't enjoy all this freely like ordinary Barbukele citizens. Well, I'll go back with you."
Glenn and Miss Smidl finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the princess was willing to go back. As soon as he let one thing go, he began to worry about Althea again. He left her in a hurry, wondering where she is now? If it weren't for his company, Alshia would not have left that small courtyard. To her, what was the difference between the bustling bustle of Barbuckle and the desolate and dangerous savage land?
Thinking of this, Glenn became more and more uneasy. He remembered the words of his teacher Mr. Astral: "You must protect Althea. No matter what happens, don't leave her."
Facing his mentor who was about to leave this world, he swore to his most beloved teacher in the name of his beloved parents: he would protect Althea and would rather give up his life than betray his oath.
He thought: "No one here knows her, what can happen? Even if someone knows her, what can happen?"
The husband never mentioned her life experience. So, he didn't know who would hurt a simple and kind girl? He tried his best to protect Althea, even though he couldn't see what kind of danger she would face.
However, once Althea left home and entered the bustling and chaotic city, Grayne's heart really couldn't calm down. He felt guilty that he had not settled Althea before running out to look for the princess. He was restless and walked faster.
Princess Imaya saw his worried look and thought to herself: "What a weirdo. He was so humble and calm just now. I agreed to go back with him, but he became depressed instead." She secretly stuck out her tongue and looked at each other with the waitress. laugh.
Glenn was worried about Althea, but Althea was enjoying the same happiness as the citizens of Barbuckle. She had received too many warnings and protections since she was a child. Walking alone on a street filled with crazy people like this did not scare her, but instead made her heart soothed and peaceful.
There were no bright flowers or green trees in the streets and alleys of Babklei, but the sunshine, breeze and happy people made her happy.
She strolled along the wide and straight streets and the narrow and long alleys, filled with smiling pedestrians everywhere. She would stop from time to time to watch the wonderful performances of the floats and entertainers.
Before she knew it, she was already in the City Hall Square. At the same time, on the high platform of the square, two god-like men were performing a drama that made the people of Babkole depressed at first, then elated, devastated, and then ecstatic.
But all she saw were their happy smiles. No need to know why they were laughing.
Because she feels that every happiness is worth cherishing.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. When a parade float passed through the square, someone played a prank on someone, maybe drunk, and took the garland from the float and put it on the head of the cow pulling the float. Before the driver could stop them, the two docile bulls went crazy at the same time. They crashed around the square, and the carnival crowd began to scatter to avoid the speeding bullock cart. Some busybodies regard this as a carnival show and follow the floats, shouting and making noises.
The driver had already fallen off the bumpy bullock cart. He climbed up and joined the pursuit regardless of the pain. He shouted loudly, trying to make the crazy bull stop its crazy steps. The people on the float were so frightened that their faces changed. They clung to the arms or clothes of their companions and cried out.
Althea stood in the crowd. Before she could tell where the cry came from, the people around her were like a group of sparrows vying for food. Suddenly a malicious stone was thrown into it, and they dispersed with a "hoo". Come.
Her figure suddenly appeared alone in the center. She stood there calmly, letting the exclamations rise.
Two galloping cows had already rushed in front of her, and the wind from the float had even lifted her dress. But there was still a smile on her lips. She didn't see someone in the stunned crowd holding a big flag and running toward her.
He was still shouting. She heard nothing.
She raised her hands to her chest, smiling and lowering her head. The irrationally sharp horns were about to hit her delicate body, but she remained motionless. Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned. At this time, who would still believe in miracles? Even if there was, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to save this young woman's life.
Trinville's heart suddenly tightened. He knew he could not prevent the tragedy before the float ran over Althea.
He shouted in agony. It was a futile cry of despair.
But what happened? Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
The crazy running bulls stopped there. Althea stroked the horns decorated with colorful brocades with her hands. Both bulls lowered their heads tamely, as if they had seen their masters.
Trinville rushed to Althea's side, unable to believe what he saw. He looked at Althea blankly.
The driver was panting and caught up. He grabbed the two cows that almost caused a disaster and looked at her with surprised eyes. He even forgot to say some words of comfort or thanks.
Althea gave Trinville a faint smile. Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, lifting a corner of the hood that Althea had been covering on her head, and she turned her head to avoid the gust of wind.
Her face faced the auditorium, and she saw the big blue flag on the auditorium.
Thick black clouds gathered in the originally clear sky without warning, and the sun was instantly blocked and disappeared. Before people had time to escape the sudden lightning and thunder, heavy rain was already pouring down.
Trinville took Althea and took her to a place where the rain could not reach her. In front of them was a running crowd. Trinville saw Althea's face turned pale.
Glenn and his team just had time to avoid the downpour. At that moment, Princess Imaya was secretly grateful that Grayen had found and brought her back. If she escaped or didn't follow his advice, Gray couldn't force her. But in that case, he would definitely not be able to escape this sudden heavy rain.
How embarrassed a noble princess would be if she got wet in the rain on the street, her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. That would be detrimental to the dignity and dignity of the royal family, so she should stop expecting to be forgiven by her parents.
There was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, and Glenn suddenly thought of Althea, who might be running helplessly in the heavy rain. He wanted to find her right away, protect her from the wind and rain, and take her back to his home.
He couldn't wait to say goodbye to the princess. The princess smiled and said: "Are you leaving like this? It seems that you haven't sent me to the king and queen yet. Captain Glenn, do you always give up halfway when performing your duties?"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. If there was no special reason, I would not have left before handing you over to the queen. In this palace, you will not be harmed. I have nothing to worry about. "
The princess smiled and said: "Of course. If the queen thinks the same as you, then I really have nothing to worry about. Although I can't guess why you can't go with me to see the queen, I am still very grateful to you for bringing me back. .You go ahead, Captain Glenn."
Grenn said goodbye and came out. The heavy rain had stopped as suddenly as it came. The dark clouds have long since dispersed, and the sun shines again on the walls, towers, palaces and streets of Babklei, with a clear blue sky.
The squares and streets were crowded with people again, which did not affect their mood at all. They talked about the strange wind and heavy rain just now, which they had never encountered before. At first, some people were worried that the heavy rain would ruin the joyful atmosphere of the Harvest Festival, but it seemed that they were completely unreasonable. In the eyes of many people, this rainstorm added a lot of fun. They mocked each other, their legs trembled under the thunder and lightning, and they fled in embarrassment, but they still couldn't avoid being soaked in the water. The joyful atmosphere pervades the Harvest Festival again.
Glenn's thoughts were entirely on Althea. He didn't realize there was anything strange about the rain just now. He just wanted to see Althea and see that she was safe and sound.
But in vain he walked through the streets, searching wherever there were crowds of people. I searched everywhere, but there was no sign of Alsia. He was distraught.
Maybe Althea has returned home long ago? Maybe waiting for him in a warm home. Thinking of this, he ran away without stopping.
