Chapter 186: On the Way

"Oh, Les." Aurora smiled. "Sit down and enjoy the food. It’s not every time you can eat seafood."

Les looked at Aurora speechlessly. "Miss, these fishes didn’t come from the sea but from the river."

The Yellow Kingdom didn’t border with the sea, so it was difficult for them to get seafood. Thankfully, there were also some small rivers aside from the big one that crossed four kingdom’s territory. From these small rivers, there would be fishes, prawn, and others caught every month.

This were the supplies for the so called seafood.

Unfortunately, the distance to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City was still a bit far. Because of this, there were not many fishes supplied to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. Even if there were some, it wouldn’t be very fresh.

The small city where they stopped were not that far from a nearby lake. Thanks to this, they were able to eat some fishes.

"They’re still called as seafood," Aurora replied with a smile.

"That’s..." Les thought for a moment and felt that it was right. Even if they didn’t come from the sea, the fishes and so on were still called as seafood.

She could only look at Aurora helplessly and said nothing else.

Aurora only smiled and looked around her. This time, she was no longer dressed as lavish as she used to be when she still has the identity of the duke’s daughter. Her current dress could only be said to be pretty good but it was nothing special.

Of course, it was still far better than many other people who were commoners.

It was easy to see that she has some status, which made other people didn’t dare to get close to her.

"Miss, are we going to stay in the inn?" Les gave up and asked another question.

Aurora nodded. "It’ll still take some time to reach the territory. It’ll be better to stay in the inn for the time being."

Les nodded.

She looked around and felt a bit afraid. This was a small city and also the first time Aurora went out on her own to stay with only a few people. There were only William and Prince Lester.

Would it be enough for Aurora’s protection?

Les was honestly worried.

Aurora knew that Les was worried about her, but Aurora smiled at Les. "The security in this city is not that bad. There wouldn’t be any strange unwanted thing happening, Les."

"Really?" Les was surprised.

Aurora nodded.

When she planned her route, she had specifically selected the cities that had better reputation to stay. It was not like her escape plan was done in a hurried manner. So even if there were only four people in Aurora’s team, Aurora was sure that nothing would happen to her.

The people who would chase her were already busy with other things.

After all, Aurora didn’t only set up one trap.

"Then I can be rest assured." Les heaved a sigh of relief. After talking, she seemed to realize something and turned to look at Aurora. For some reasons, she felt that Aurora’s speech was a bit strange.

Aurora saw Les’s look and smiled faintly.

Of course, she could use the polite speech that was taught to her for almost her entire life. But if she were to do that, she would not be able to hide her identity in this small city.

It was not like Aurora couldn’t speak informally.

But her education didn’t allow her to do that when she was in the academy and in her home. So even if Aurora wanted to, she would restrain herself and made sure that her speech would not sound weird.

Now that she was no longer restrained by her identity and environment, what was wrong with her changing her speech a bit?

This would also help to conceal her identity.

She would not be so rigid in her conduct since it would not be beneficial for her.

Besides, it was not that difficult for Aurora. She just had to make sure that her speech would not reveal her identity.

"It’s time to rest." Aurora had finished her meal and nodded at Les.

"Yes, Miss."

Prince Lester and William would take turn guarding once again. For the two of them, this kind of job was really easy. It was nothing compared to the training they have received over the years.

The night passed by quietly.

The next morning, they have only prepared their carriage when they saw commotion on the side.

A young woman was screaming while running away. There were several big men chasing behind her.

"Miss, can I...?" William frowned when he saw this. His knight’s conduct couldn’t stand such a scene and he wanted to step forward to help. Besides, it was his teaching ever since he was young to protect the weak.

"No." Aurora shook her head and glanced at Prince Lester. "Call the knights on duty."

"Yes, Miss."

Prince Lester bowed and then jogged to find the knights who were in duty to patrol the area. For every city, there were people who were responsible for the security and others. It was really easy to find them since their clothing were quite eye catching.

William frowned but he didn’t step forward and followed Aurora’s order.

After all, he is Aurora’s personal knight and not a knight without master. So even if his chivalry made him want to step forward, he would not do anything reckless.

Aurora’s order and safety is his priority first and foremost.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Before the knights could arrive, there was already someone who stepped forward to stop the men, but he was beaten up all over.

William watched this scene with a frown.

Before long, the men left after looting the man’s belonging.

He looked around and found the other people in the city remained motionless as if such a scene would not disturb them in the slightest bit.

William could understand the women and children since they were weaker, but why the men didn’t try to do anything?
