They don't want me to try anymore.

"Mmm-hmm!"

Ram did not disappoint Richard; he did not display the arrogance common among nobles, but instead listened attentively.

They even took out a small notebook...

He even wrote down every single word Richard said, including punctuation...

Oh no, there's no need to be so meticulous!

That's a bit extreme!

Richard sighed again, then slowed his speech and led the group forward.

Midway through, they smelled an unusually enticing sweet aroma.

"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to try my special honey-glazed baked apples?"

Around the corner, a voluptuous, scantily clad, long-haired woman suddenly emerged pushing a small food cart. Upon seeing Richard and his group, she feigned surprise, covering her mouth and whispering:

"Excuse me, are you... are you His Highness the Targaryen?"

The Crown Prince and his wife, along with Ryan, looked over in surprise.

Who is this? How did they see through your disguise?

Richard was completely dumbfounded.

He did recognize who the woman was...

Veronica!

She just changed her hair color and wore colored contact lenses; I could tell at a glance.

But the question is, what are you doing in my Connaught Royal City?

Do you think my operation to eliminate the pirates was not entirely successful and want to turn yourself in?

Veronica smiled slightly at her partner's skeptical look.

"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you all. My name is Vicky, and I'm a traveling merchant. Last time I went out to sea to sell my goods, I encountered pirates. Fortunately, Your Highness saved me, and I was able to return alive... I didn't expect to see Your Highness again so soon~"

Chapter 109 You're trying to cause trouble right from the start of a simulation, aren't you?

Well, you came prepared!

When Richard heard that Veronica had even prepared a pseudonym and a fake identity, he naturally went along with it, nodding repeatedly and signaling to Katyusha behind him not to expose her.

Veronica added, "Because my family is in the spice business, I'm very confident in my sense of smell. Although Your Highness has changed your appearance, the perfume you're wearing has a very unique scent, and I can recognize it immediately."

The Crown Prince and his wife, along with Ryan, suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

They quickly greeted them with smiles.

"By the way..."

At this moment, Veronica looked a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, are you and your friends disguised and going out on some secret mission? Oh, then haven't I ruined your plans..."

"No no……"

Richard picked up the conversation: "I just wanted to take... take my classmates from St. Goethe out to see the sights of Connaught..."

Instead of immediately introducing the identities of the Crown Prince and his wife, he first secretly used a telepathic spell to ask Veronica:

What exactly do you want to do here?

Veronica quickly replied: Joseph brought the remnants of the Evil Wind Pirates ashore, and most likely they have come to Connaught.

hiss……

They abandoned that super-powerful pirate ship and went ashore? What for, to experience life as a landlubber?

When Richard expressed his doubt, Veronica continued:

So I also infiltrated Connaught, hoping to cooperate with you to investigate them, but... even if that's not the case, couldn't they just simply want to visit their dear partner?

The partner himself said it wasn't a good fit.

Richard's lips twitched slightly: You're making it easy for us to expose our relationship.

Veronica kept laughing during the telepathic communication, clearly...

This woman didn't care at all.

Fine, let the vampires do whatever they want.

on the surface.

The not-so-young vampire woman clapped her hands in a very girlish way and said with a coquettish smile, "Since you all want to tour the sights of Connaught, would you like me to be your tour guide?"

"I know this land very well!"

Richard blinked: Are you sure? Don't mess this up!

Veronica replied telepathically: Trust me, I've investigated Connaught very thoroughly; after all, I once considered looting this place...

Richard: ?

Veronica: Don't worry about it, it happened many years ago~

Richard: So how old are you, vampire?

Veronica: The girl's age is a secret~ Anyway, she's no more than 17!

17 years and over a thousand months, right? I understand.

Seeing that Richard did not object, the Crown Prince and his wife naturally agreed, and the sightseeing group was expanded to six people.

Veronica proved with her achievements that she indeed had an amazing understanding of the port of Connaught.

They're all food stalls, but she can pick out the one that's the tastiest and cleanest; they're all handicraft stalls, but she can pick out the one that's the most affordable and has the best quality.

When everyone left the port and wanted to see the beach, she led them for several hours, heading south through a small grove of low trees, until they reached a narrow beach in a mountain valley.

This place is only thirty meters long and wide, with damp and steep cliffs on both sides, and the sea in front is full of reefs. Ordinary people cannot come down, and large ships cannot get close, so no one will disturb it.

Even Richard didn't know this place.

But it cannot be denied that the sand here is of very good quality.

Moreover, deep within the cliffs behind, amidst the rushing seawater flowing through underground caves, there was a faint, melodious sound.

Veronica twitched her nose slightly and explained directly, "There are mermaids inside."

"what?"

"It must be a secluded place where they rest or trade human goods. Anyway, there are always seven or eight of them gathered there, and they sing from time to time."

Richard recalled the knowledge about mermaids.

These are intelligent beings with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. They have a relatively primitive civilization, worship the sea god, and are more friendly to humans than sirens and fish-men. Occasionally, they use transformation magic to grow legs and sneak into human cities. Their songs are said to have the power to soothe the souls of the dead.

Although they do not reject humans, they also dislike having their identities discovered by humans, so they are very secretive in their comings and goings, and are rarely seen by ordinary people.

So Veronica said, "Everyone can just listen to the music outside. If we go into the cave to look for them, they'll run away."

The trio from the Kingdom of Saiga readily agreed, sitting quietly on the beach, listening to the symphony of the waves and the mermaids, breathing in the sea breeze, and finally closing their eyes to watch the sun's halo slowly sink below the horizon...

It really is very relaxing...

Richard took a deep breath, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Veronica take off her boots and stockings, revealing her fair and smooth bare feet, and run into the waves.

The waves crashed against the girl's delicate, white legs, splashing water droplets that dampened her clothes.

"Your Highness, would you like to come and play in the water?"

Richard shook his head at Veronica's enthusiastic invitation.

I've seen the sea before, and I don't want to say anything like "the enemy is on the other side of the sea," so there's no need for me to go into the water.

In this situation, the best approach is to simply appreciate it quietly.

That's what elegance is!

And what if the Crown Prince and Princess of the Kingdom of Sagar think I have no morals if I just casually go into the water with you?

Seeing that Richard didn't move, Veronica simply transmitted her voice:

Are you sure you don't want to come? My clothes will be quite see-through when they get wet! And if we're fooling around and accidentally trip, we might end up making some close contact!

Hey, woman.

I knew you had ill intentions!

Since that's the case, I absolutely cannot go down!

Honestly, if you keep being this overly proactive, it's ruining your original persona! If I didn't know about the simulation, I'd definitely have a bad impression of you! Look at Alice, how reserved she was at first…

Veronica's words continued: "Tch, I never imagined Prince Connaught would be such a coward, afraid to swim with women. Why bother? Come on, let's play! They're not going to eat you!"

Who says you can't? Have you been eating less of my spicy blood curd?

His pirate nature was truly incorrigible.

In short, I'm not going to go into business!

Seeing that the little prince wouldn't listen to reason, Veronica pouted, feeling rather bored. After showing off her slender figure in the sunset, she turned around and chatted with Katyusha. Finally, with Richard's helplessness, he successfully persuaded the little girl to go seashell collecting.
