Today's princess is still cute

Cardinson noticed Harrington's embarrassment and kicked Arthur's heel, who was sitting next to Harrington, and signaled with his eyes.

Arthur immediately understood, put his arm around Harrington's shoulders, and leaned back: "Friend! My friend! Relax, we are now in a time to be happy!"

"Yeah!" After all this torment, Harrington finally relaxed.

The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!

Today, Cardinson finally understood the mentality of those ancient students who were on the list.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the prosperity of the imperial capital outside. He felt that the world was so big and there was no place where he could not be happy and free.

Just as he was about to express his half-baked poetic ideas, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Leonard asked the driver.

"Fourth, Fourth Young Master, yes, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess' carriage." The coachman's voice was somewhat distorted.

"Which princess?"

"The Seventh Princess, Her Highness Tina!"

PS: Six more chapters are here!

Chapter 28 Knight

The moment this name appeared in the carriage, Cardinson could clearly feel that Arthur and Leonard's breathing paused.

"Go around." Leonard ordered without hesitation.

The driver almost cried out, "Fourth Young Master, we can't go around, the road is blocked."

They drew aside the curtains together and looked outside. It was just as the coachman had said. This road, which could accommodate four carriages at a time, was blocked. No fewer than five carriages were lying there. A closer look at the emblems on them showed that they were all carriages of nobles and wealthy businessmen. None of them could pass.

At this time, another carriage came from behind, and the road was completely blocked.

And Leonard's carriage was directly facing a small and broken carriage, just like the contrast between a Wrangler and a Santana 2000.

There were no insignia on the carriage, only an old woman in a court maid's uniform, pulling an inferior horse and shouting at the crowd that surrounded the carriage.

"Get out of here! Do you think commoners like you can offend the princess's carriage? Get out!" The old maid glared and roared.

"Princess? Do you think the royal family recognizes her as a princess?"

"You unfortunate person who brings bad luck! Get out!"

"Leave the imperial capital! Leave the Blue Empire!"

The civilians roared wantonly and threw anything they could at the outer wall of the carriage. The old maid calmed the frightened horse while confronting the crowd.

The nobility, especially the royal family, was a class in the empire that the common people could not offend. They ruled everything and enjoyed everything.

When there is an object in the royal family against whom they can vent their anger at being oppressed, many people are willing to expose their malice and become part of the "group", even if she is not wrong and has not hurt them.

Has His Highness influenced anyone?

No.

Does the presence of His Highness make them eat less?

No.

The more cowardly a person is, the more he will bully those who are weaker than himself. To the beasts, he is like a sheep; and to the sheep, he is like a beast.

For no reason, Cardinson remembered this sentence he had seen in a book.

He glanced around coldly and found that some of the people who were looking out of the carriages were gloating, some were disdainful, some were disgusted, but most of them were like Arthur and Leonard, trying to avoid them as much as possible.

"Your Highness, what is the situation?"

Cardinson asked Arthur.

Arthur spoke with a strange look on his face about the rumors about the Seventh Princess in the imperial capital, how she was abandoned by the gods and how she was the princess with the lowest status.

When Cardinson heard the prophecy made many years ago, "This girl is abandoned by God, and she will suffer great disasters in the near future, and it will be even more dangerous when she grows up," a look of confusion began to appear on his face.

"How old is this prince?"

"fourteen."

"You know it very well."

"How could I not know? The nobles in the imperial capital are all saying that when the princess turns fifteen, they will advise Your Majesty to banish her to a cold and miserable place, preferably as far away from where there are people as possible."

This kind of thing should be considered a royal secret, so how could it become known to everyone?

Moreover, how could the royal family, a place with a weak sense of family affection since ancient times, allow this princess to live to this day and be laughed at by everyone?

These are all trivial matters, and Cardinson doesn't care at all what the royal family thinks.

What he didn't understand the most now was why, twenty years later, after he had completed so many missions in the imperial capital and met many nobles, no one mentioned this "princess abandoned by the gods"?

Even if he died or something happened during this period, there shouldn't be even the slightest trace left.

You see, now that everyone in the city knows about it, how could the royal family possibly keep everyone silent?

The nobles and wealthy businessmen who fanned the flames, the common people who were outraged, if you say there is nothing fishy behind this, Cardinson would not believe it even if you kill him.

"I'll get out of the car and take a look."

Cardinson thought about it and felt that it would be better to find out.

He always felt vaguely that something was wrong, and that feeling of being stuck in his heart was not pleasant.

"do not go."

"Don't get involved in this! We can't have any contact with this princess!"

Leonard and Arthur spoke at the same time, holding Cardinson on the left and right.

My God, if Cardinson were to do something heroic, he would have no chance of survival in the circle of the imperial capital.

When one person, ten people, or a hundred people bully one person, that is called bullying.

When everyone is bullying one person, that is called justice.

Are you openly challenging "justice"?

Cardinson felt helpless. He knew they were doing this for his own good, so he asked, "Won't the Vatican intervene?"

"How can the Holy See have anything to do with the affairs of the royal family? His Holiness the Pope is kindhearted and would like to intervene. He once told His Majesty the Emperor to send the princess to the Holy See to be an ascetic priest, but alas!" Arthur looked like he had a headache. "She has royal blood in her body and inherited the surname Ulysses. Anyone can intervene except the Holy See!"

Leonard also spoke up: "It's all thanks to His Holiness the Pope, otherwise this princess would have been confined to death."

Harrington didn't know what was going on in the imperial capital, but he asked with a pure heart: "Your Highness, did you do something wrong? Why?"

Arthur smiled bitterly and said, "She did nothing wrong, but her existence itself is a mistake."

Outside the carriage, the quarrel continued.

People with status and position are watching coldly and laughing at the joke, while people without status and position are trying to behave well in order to draw a clear line between themselves and others.

There are not many opportunities for them to be on the side of justice in this life, so they need to cherish them even more.

It cannot be said to be the bad nature of human beings, it has not risen to that level yet.

All we can say is that Her Royal Highness the Princess Tina is standing on the opposite side of "justice".

People like Harrington who felt sorry for her dared not speak, nor could they do anything.

Arthur and Leonard were not wrong in feeling sorry for her but were unwilling to stand on her side.

In the fairy tale, she is the dragon, the character who just wants to live a good life but is called the evil dragon by the brave warriors who come to attack her.

He who slays a dragon will become famous.

As for the dragon, who cares?

The noisy sound made Cardinson feel as if there was a boiling anger in his chest, making him feel suffocated.

I fuck

"Let me go, my friends. It's not that I don't listen to your advice. I also know your good intentions," Cardinson said coldly, "but my grandfather has always taught me that humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul are virtues that every knight should abide by and practice throughout their lives. Today, if I don't even help a girl who is being bullied like this, how can I be a knight of the Holy See? How can I be called a knight?"

After saying this, he shook off the hands of the stunned Arthur and Leonard, opened the car door and walked out.

"Sorry, let's go to your house for dinner again when we have the chance, Arthur."

Chapter 29 Princess

Seeing Cardinson resolutely get off the car, the three teenagers in the car immediately went wild.

"I'm going too." Harrington suddenly stood up and wanted to go outside.

Arthur had just been shaken off by Cardinson, and before he could come to his senses, he had to hug him again and hold him tightly. But how could his strength compare to Harrington, who was the second in the knight selection?

Harrington struggled a little and Arthur was taken out of the carriage.

"Come help me! Kaisen is crazy, and I can't have another one going crazy now!"

Unexpectedly, Leonard, who was always cold and taciturn, had a very complicated expression in his eyes and sat there without moving.

He could be said to admire and envy Cardinson, a friend he had only known for half a day.

For young noblemen like them, even if they joined the Holy See and became knights, they only wanted a status. He and Arthur were both sons without inheritance rights. If they had the status of a Holy See knight, they would get a larger share when the family property was divided in the future. When the twenty years of service were over, they could apply to leave the Holy See.

After all, most people are not clear about the concept of knights, and even if they are clear, they don't care.

Cardinson is extremely talented and is destined to be supported by the Holy See. His future is bright. If everything goes well, he will surely become another benchmark figure.

but now

"Knight?"

Leonard lowered his head and muttered to himself, completely ignoring the fact that Arthur and Harrington were about to fight next to him.

"Please let me go, I have to go." In a hurry, Harrington spoke without stuttering.

"What are you going to do? Can you help?" Arthur was really afraid of getting involved with the Seventh Princess. If he was not careful, he would become the target of public criticism in the imperial capital.

For no reason, just because she is Tina Ulysses.

Harrington said stubbornly: "Cardinson is a friend, I can't let my friend fight alone."

"It is precisely because you are my friends that I cannot let you jump into the fire pit! Don't you want to become a respected knight of the Holy See? Don't you want to stand out in the imperial capital and make your father proud? Leonard, Leonard, what are you doing? Come and help me!"

Harrington was about to say something when a muffled sound was heard outside the carriage.

Then all the noisy sounds quieted down.

Cardinson's voice rang out: "Why don't you try throwing it again?"

Clear, warm, and with a sense of awe-inspiring firmness.

Arthur let go, knowing that the situation was irreversible.

Harrington patted him on the shoulder and jumped out of the car as well.

"Did I do something wrong, Leonard?" Arthur covered his face and said in confusion.

"No, you're right, it's just because we are nobles." Leonard looked out of the car, his expression unreadable.

Tina actually didn't want to come out today.

Although she wanted to see the world outside the imperial city, her inferiority complex and introversion were like two shackles that locked her tightly.

To be honest, if her grandma hadn't said that the female scholar didn't mind her identity and was willing to teach her some knowledge of poetry and music theory, she would never have gone out.

Tina has always been aware that she is a person who can cause trouble to others.

Therefore, even though her high and mighty father did not explicitly forbid her to leave the imperial city, Tina still stayed obediently in that small white building.

Only on some special occasions every year, or when she has no other choice, will Tina leave the Little White Building, leave the Imperial City, and see the outside world.

Sometimes she also thought about running away, finding a deserted place, and living with her grandma.

But the imperial capital is so big that even if she could run away, the two women, one old and one young, would be taken back to the Little White Building by the Imperial Guards in less than half a day.

A canary with poisonous feathers?

Tina didn't know.

She didn't want to know either, because she couldn't do anything but cry.

And now-
