Hearing Jessica's words, Abigail couldn't help but pause for a second to mourn for Buddy. Buddy's road ahead was long and arduous.
As the two continued walking along the street, a car suddenly stopped beside them.
Then the car's rear window opened, and Otto's face appeared in the window.
"My goodness, we've finally found you! Hurry up and get in the car. The city lord sent someone to say that the commander of the Third Mech Regiment is looking for you."
At this moment, Otto noticed Jessica standing next to Abigail and said something with some surprise.
“Jessica? I didn’t expect to see you here. Your father has practically turned the whole of Seko upside down looking for you.”
“I know, Uncle Ultra.”
Jessica said with a smile, looking exactly like a perfect young lady.
"By the way, my son should be with you too, right? He's such a worry, always running around everywhere."
"Uncle Ultra, don't blame Buddy. I'm the one who drags him around everywhere."
"Don't worry, I don't really care about this. It's good for boys to travel and see more of the world. Besides, don't I know what that kid is thinking? Alright, get in the car. You can come with us to the inner city."
"this......"
Jessica hesitated for a moment, but Abigail pulled her into the car.
“Running away from home all the time isn’t a good thing. Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll take care of it for you.”
Chapter 193 Jessica's Persistence
So, sometimes things are just that strange. The city lord tried every possible way to bring Jessica home but couldn't, but Abigail brought her back with just one sentence.
Although their fundamental purposes are different, they are the same in terms of their forms of expression.
“Jessica, act natural. This is your own home.”
Jessica seemed a little nervous as she walked toward the meeting room.
"Ah."
Jessica nodded, calming herself down and trying to appear less nervous.
Led by a servant, the three soon arrived at a door.
Upon entering the room, Abigail found two groups of people she didn't recognize. However, she could easily distinguish which group belonged to the Mech Regiment. After all, everyone in the Mech Regiment wore the same uniform.
"Ultraman, you've arrived."
Upon seeing the three enter, the city lord stood up to greet them.
As he walked over, he glanced at the two people following behind Ultraman, and his gaze lingered for a moment when he saw Jessica.
"My lord, wasn't that matter settled yesterday? So what's going on today...?"
Otto's tone clearly revealed his dissatisfaction, but the city lord didn't seem to mind much, which suggests that the two had a good relationship.
"Brother Ultra, don't worry, everything was settled yesterday. You've gone to such lengths, so we'll naturally keep our promise. Actually, the captain just wanted to meet Miss Abigail today."
Do you know why?
"It seems you don't know yet, but yesterday Miss Abigail defeated the 2nd Squad of the 3rd Mech Regiment. Of course, I don't know the specifics, but it seems that Abigail displayed unparalleled piloting skills at the time."
"Really? I understand now."
After listening to the city lord's story, Ultraman roughly understood the other party's mindset when they came here. However, even he himself hadn't expected that Abigail would possess technology that would impress the main legion. But considering Abigail's mysterious identity, Ultraman understood.
"Alright, please take your seats. Jessica, you should go back to your room first. Eden will be here in two days, so don't make a bad impression on him."
"..."
"Jessica!"
Seeing that Jessica did not do as he had said, the city lord's expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Abigail immediately spoke up:
"Excuse me, Jessica isn't back today to meet with that Eden boy you mentioned. Let me make this clear: I'm here to speak up for Jessica."
"You must be Miss Abigail. This is a family matter, so please don't interfere."
“This is indeed your family matter, but Jessica is my friend. Since we are friends, it doesn’t seem like a hard thing to understand to help your friend solve his troubles.”
"..." After Abigail finished speaking, the city lord stared at her with a blank expression. Anyone could tell from this that the city lord was somewhat angry. However, Abigail didn't seem to care at all.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Ultraman quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, let's talk about it later. Don't keep the commander waiting."
Hearing what Otto said, the city lord finally had a way out. He wasn't someone who couldn't see the situation clearly, and now was indeed not the time to argue about such things.
"Then please come and sit down."
After speaking, the city lord turned around and returned to his previous seat.
Then the three Ultramen went over and sat down in their assigned seats.
Upon seeing the three take their seats, the city lord immediately introduced them to each other, explaining their respective identities.
"You must be Abigail. I am Lionel, the commander of the Third Mech Regiment. I saw your performance yesterday. I am here today for one purpose only: I hope you will join us."
Lionel stated his purpose directly, and Abigail was somewhat surprised by his invitation.
"Uncle, I just want to know what benefits I can get from joining you?"
"To put it simply, with your abilities, you are already at the level to enter His Majesty's personal guard. However, to enter the personal guard, you need to have a certain amount of military merit. Those who enter the personal guard can at least obtain the title of knight. If you work a little harder, obtaining a noble title is not difficult."
"But what does that have to do with me? I can't stand the military system. It's so much better to be free."
It must be said that Lionel's offer might be quite attractive to others, but it held no appeal for Abigail. It wasn't even as enticing as being able to pilot a mech at any time. However, the prospect of going to the front lines was still tempting for Abigail.
"Then how can you persuade me to join us? Just state your conditions."
"Well, how about this, I can join, but I need to ask a few questions first."
"can."
"First of all, you should belong to the front-line troops, and be ready to fight at any time, right?"
"That's right, we are the main force of the Empire. After resting here, we will immediately head to the front line."
"My second question is, I'll bring someone with me. You don't object, do you?"
"Sure, bringing someone along won't have a big impact on us."
"My third question is that I can join you, but I have the right to refuse your orders. I don't want to be controlled by others. If you agree to this, then it's fine for me to go with you."
"......"
Upon hearing this, Lionel was no longer as cheerful as before.
"You disagree? If you don't agree, then forget it."
After a moment of contemplation, Lionel then said:
"I can agree, but you must also promise me one thing. I can ignore things normally, but you must follow orders when fighting against the kingdom's army."
"Okay then. Just leave me alone most of the time."
As for when a real war breaks out, what can you do about it?
Of course, Abigail would never say this aloud, after all, she had to save face for the other party.
"Alright, it's settled then. Let's go. By the way, you said you wanted to bring someone along. Who are you planning to bring?"
"It's her."
Abigail pointed her finger at Jessica beside her.
"Well, yes."
"No! I don't agree!"
Lionel had no objection to Abigail wanting to take Jessica away, since it wasn't really his business anyway, but the city lord standing nearby wouldn't allow it.
"If you don't agree, you don't agree. Jessica has the right to decide. As long as Jessica agrees, that's all that matters."
Faced with the city lord's objection, Abigail calmly replied.
"Jessica!"
The city lord then turned his head and looked at Jessica, who was standing silently to the side.
"Father, I'm sorry."
Jessica's meaning was quite clear. However, the city lord was clearly not prepared to give up.
"I absolutely disagree with you joining the army. Even if I have to tie you up, I'm going to make sure you stay here! Guards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in from outside the door.
"Father..."
"Take the young lady back to her room."
Having received the city lord's order, these people immediately surrounded Jessica.
"None of you come any closer!"
Jessica shouted loudly at these people.
The group immediately stopped.
"What are you doing? Grab her right now!"
The group admin then issued another order.
The servants then looked at each other, nodded, and moved toward Jessica.
"Didn't you hear me tell you not to come over?"
"I'm sorry, young lady, this is the city lord's order. We have no choice."
"hateful......"
However, just as Jessica was about to be captured by the crowd, Abigail suddenly rushed out. Although Abigail looked petite, her strength and speed were beyond the reach of ordinary people. In no time, all the servants were knocked to the ground.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, it's solved now."
