Today's princess is still cute

The maids who accompanied them had already prepared bath water of the appropriate temperature and clean clothes for them, so they just had to enter the tent.

"I'll go too," Andre stretched, but he looked pretty energetic. He asked Cardinson, "Kaysen, what about you?"

Cardinson declined, "I'll wash it later."

"Then you talk to them here, I'll be there later." Andre waved his hand, found the second largest tent and went in.

This group of nobles can even tell the size of the tents apart.

Angelina's was the eldest, Andre's was the second, Richard's was just a little smaller than Andre's, and the rest of the marquis and earl's children were also of different sizes.

Cardinson was highly respected and was given the same level of status as a marquis's son.

Only Tina had a lonely little tent.

It seemed like they had just returned to the camp. There were four of them, but only Tina was not greeted, as if her existence was deliberately ignored.

She herself was used to it and didn't find it hard at all.

The problem is that Cardinson is uncomfortable.

He pulled over two mats and took Tina to a quiet place, not joining the crowd.

"You don't have to accompany me." Tina touched the soft cushion, sat down, and said this suddenly.

Cardinson did not respond to her words, but said: "Look at you, come, take off this branch and the insole of your shoe. Rub your calves and ankles. You have walked a lot today. I have some recovery potion here. Use it after you recover. Then you won't have sore feet that you can't walk tomorrow."

"Um"

Tina put the branch used as a crutch aside, secretly glanced at Cardinson, and when she found that he was not paying attention to this side, she carefully removed the straw pads on the bottom of her boots that had been almost worn out, then took out a piece of cloth from the small cloth bag, wrapped them up, and put them in the bag.

This was the first time someone other than the old maid had made something for her, and she was reluctant to throw it away.

Cardinson was looking into the distance, silently calculating the time in his mind.

The beast tide planned by the brothers will appear in about half an hour if nothing unexpected happens.

That is my last chance to show myself. Whether I can officially break into this circle depends entirely on this time.

The only thing I’m worried about now is that I might not be able to take care of the little white flower beside me. When that happens, I must keep a close eye on her and not allow her to go anywhere except by my side.

"Kasen, can you come over here for a moment?"

Not far away, Richard suddenly shouted.

Chapter 61 Is She a Gift or a Disaster?

"I'll go over there first, you stay here for a while."

Cardinson took out a bottle of small recovery potion from his storage ring and placed it next to Tina.

"Ah."

Unconsciously, Tina had begun to become receptive to what Cardinson gave her.

Of course, she must be thinking about how to repay him in the future. There are so few people who are good to her, so she needs to be grateful and repay them even more.

Cardinson walked up to Richard and found that there was no other noble sitting next to him, only him.

"What's wrong Richard? Are you alone?" Cardinson greeted.

Richard Witt has regular facial features, but his hairline is a bit worrying, giving him a very precocious look.

"No, I want to talk to you. I don't want to play games with them. Look, what are they playing now? Ah, Lituo cards. I'm not very good at playing it."

Cardinson smiled and said, "I'm not very good at playing, but I can play chess."

Richard also laughed: "Kasen, did you have fun today?"

"Well, I'm very happy. I have met a lot of friends and everyone doesn't mind my civilian identity." Cardinson said.

"Haha, who doesn't know that you, Kaisen, are a rookie in the Church, a genius who was directly accepted as a disciple by Monsignor Mello? Who dares to treat you as a commoner?"

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just an ordinary person who got a little luckier."

Richard patted the corner of his clothes and said, "Humility is one of the virtues that leads to success. It seems to be true for you. What I fear most is those arrogant people who don't know their own weight."

"Oh?"

When Cardinson heard him suddenly say this, the smile on his face became a little playful.

A duke's son and a Vatican knight should not have said such things, especially when the circle of relationships present was basically clear.

Everyone can see that Andre's attitude towards Cardinson is very good, so good that it is a bit outrageous.

"It's nothing, I was just praising you." Richard chuckled and lightly changed the subject.

The two men sat there, looking at the tents of all sizes, watching the guards making fires and setting up stoves, and watching the nobles gathering together to play cards for fun.

Richard said, "Kasen, tell me the truth, did you encounter any bad luck today?"

Cardinson thought about it carefully. Does choking while brushing teeth when getting up in the morning count?

"No."

Richard asked curiously, "Aren't you always with the Seventh Princess?"

When Cardinson was asked this question, he suddenly realized that the prophecy about Tina didn't seem to work on him?

"The guard who was pulling the carriage for the Seventh Princess just now sprained his ankle when he got off the carriage. It's very serious. He will probably need to rest for a long time," Richard said slowly. "Some people didn't believe this prophecy before and wanted to get close to the Seventh Princess. After all, she is a princess, and royal blood represents the greatest benefit. However, the Seventh Princess, who was still an ignorant child at the time, scared them all away."

"doom?"

"Yes, there is no sign of bad luck. As long as you get close to her, bad luck will happen. Like the old maid next to the Seventh Princess, everyone actually admires her. You know? Kaisen, every month this old maid goes to the doctor in the imperial city to get medicine. The injuries on her body make people feel sad. Even she dare not stay next to the Seventh Princess for too long. It's not because of fear, but because she is worried that one day she can't bear it anymore and dies, and no one will take care of the Seventh Princess."

Cardinson felt uncomfortable after hearing these words, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there really no solution?"

"If even His Holiness the Pope and the chief of the Mage Tower can't solve it, who else in this world can? I'm afraid that the strongest man who has only appeared in the world a few times in three hundred years, His Excellency Eagle Eyes, can't solve it. This is God's will. It is God who has abandoned Her Highness the Seventh Princess. As she grows older, the impact of this misfortune will only grow greater and greater." Richard sighed deeply.

Seeing that Cardinson remained silent, Richard said again: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"

"Why?" Cardinson couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, it was just the first time they met and there was no point in them saying such things.

"The mother of the Seventh Princess is my grandfather's illegitimate daughter. If you count carefully, she should be my aunt." Richard directly threw out a piece of news that could be called a secret. "Before my grandfather sent me to the countryside, she was the one who taught me how to paint, from the age of three to eight, for a full five years. She was very kind to me. She was a very gentle and beautiful woman, and she completely inherited the advantages of the Witte family. Otherwise, His Majesty, who was on tour, would not have taken a fancy to her and married her back to the palace."

Richard Witt was twenty-four years old, the oldest person present except Angelina, who was twenty-five.

How could he forget his aunt who had accompanied him for one-fifth of his life and was like a sister to him?

If we calculate the timeline carefully, Richard's aunt should have married the current emperor, who was only the heir to the throne, fifteen years ago when she was nineteen years old. Then her husband ascended the throne the following year, and she gave birth to Tina. Then five years later, she died of depression.

The year before the wedding, which happened to be the time when the Second Templar Crusade ended, the late emperor passed away.

At that time, Richard's sister-in-law, a woman named Sarah Witt, was also said to be a symbol of bad luck by concubines who were jealous of her beauty, just like his daughter.

"I'm very happy to see that you are willing to approach Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, really happy, because she is really like my aunt." Richard's tone was filled with endless disappointment. "After what happened in the Duke's family, it's impossible for me to help her. As her cousin, I don't even dare to inquire too much about her news, for fear that His Majesty would think..."

"But, Kaisen, the prophecy says that after she turns fifteen, the influence of bad luck will become even more terrible. Maybe by then, you are close to her now and will not be affected by bad luck, but have you ever thought about what you would do if one day, this accumulated bad luck suddenly breaks out?"

"Kaysen, I admire you very much, and I feel sorry for my aunt's daughter. I don't want to see any tragedy happen. I will only say these words once today, not for anything, but just to thank my aunt for being so good to me, the third son of the Duke who has no talent and is despised by others."

Richard didn't know how to continue talking at this point.

He patted Cardinson's shoulder vigorously, stood up and walked away.

Only Cardinson was left sitting there, looking at Tina who was sitting alone in a daze not far away.

I watched it for a long, long time.

Chapter 62 Blushing Jealousy (th update, please vote!)

Cardinson walked back to Tina and found that she was a little upset, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Just now, a few guards tried to pick up some dry firewood near me, and then they fell and scratched themselves."

Tina's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that she was in a state of extreme panic.

Even if her own bad luck had affected the people around her before, it was unintentional. She usually locked herself in that small building and didn't contact anyone.

Now that she wants to go out and play on her own and affects others, she will start to feel more guilty.

If it were before, she would never say these words to anyone, but now it is different. She began to want to trust Cardinson and tell him things that she has not said to anyone in these years, and the feeling of doing so makes her feel more comfortable.

When a girl who has had no one to talk to for a long time meets someone she can talk to, the emotions she bursts out with are absolutely uncontrollable.

Cardinson sat down beside her and said calmly, "Don't worry about it, Your Highness. Since some things cannot be changed, shouldn't we look for reasons that can make us live happily?"

"Ok?"

"Your Highness, I wonder if you've noticed today that I've been staying by your side the whole time, and it's all right, isn't it?" Cardinson tried to control his heartbeat and slowed down his breathing. "Perhaps, in this world, there is a conclusion that is correct only when people who are supposed to meet meet each other?"

"The right person?"

Suddenly, the book "The Princess in Distress and the Knight of Justice", which had a profound influence on Tina, popped up in her mind again.

“My princess, please believe that somewhere in this world, there must be someone who was born for you. That is the knight who is destined to protect you.

When you fall into the abyss, don’t lose hope, hold on for a little longer, even for a second, until that person breaks through the thorns and kills the dragon, appears in front of you like a hero, saves you, and takes you out of the dark ocean.

In this world, there must be someone who was born for you. That person is the knight who is destined to protect you.

fate.

knight.

The key words were quickly extracted and filled Tina's little head.

Cardinson realized that he had successfully diverted her attention, and then continued: "If, I mean if, Your Highness, you lose faith in this world, you might as well think about it. You still have a friend like me. Even if I am far away, there is still someone who will not be affected by your bad luck, will not refuse your confession, and will not betray you, leave you, or abandon you."

After saying this, Cardinson himself felt something was wrong.

Oops.

I spoke too quickly and said what was in my heart.

Isn't this just the same as, table table table thing?

It's just that white.

Just when this word appeared in his mind, Cardinson felt a heat rushing up from the bottom of his heart, making his face flush.

however.

But Tina believed it.

No one had ever said anything like that to her, ever.

No one would say such things to her because no one wanted to.

Except for Cardinson.

"Thank you, Mr. Knight." Tina whispered.

She clenched her little fists, then unclenched them, clenched them again, and unclenched them again.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, reached out and touched Cardinson's hair.

Seeing Cardinson's expression changing rapidly, Tina withdrew her hand and stammered, "Grandma, grandma did the same thing, touching my hair. She said that only people with a very good relationship can do this."

I am dead.

I'm really dead.

Even the Pope, three cardinals, and five Morning Star Knights couldn't bring me back even if they performed the resurrection spell together.

Ahhhhhh.

How can she be so cute! Why can she be so cute!

Cardinson had completely forgotten what Richard had said.

She is not a disaster, she is a gift from God to herself, meeting such a little white flower.

Cardinson's last bit of sanity was still struggling, and he kept telling himself - "Brother, you are the one who is going to save the world. You are the one who is going to defeat the devil in twenty years and survive. You can't be so cowardly when you see a beautiful woman now, brother, don't be like this! Women will only slow down your speed in drawing your sword!"

Then, Tina blushed and muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was rude but I don't have gold coins to compensate you, I'm sorry."

listen.

That was the sound of the line of reason being severed.

What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with liking someone?

Whether it was love at first sight or just lust at first sight, I just liked her!
