Little Tyrant Doesn’t Want to Meet with a Bad End

On a summer night, the stars were shining brightly over the lightless wilderness. On the road leading to the Rossai Commercial United Nations, a black-haired boy was resting aside. Not far away from him, a group of armored guards were setting up a tent.

It has been three days since St. Freya Academy set off to chase the Sorofia family's convoy. Because the black-haired boy was anxious, Roya and others had almost no rest during the three days, and they were speeding on the road day and night. , however, to Roja's surprise, such a pursuit did not succeed in catching up with Charlotte's gem necklace fleet.

Although they set off two days earlier than Roya and others, Charlotte was riding a carriage, while Roya and others were a group of cavalry. Normally, they should catch up with Zoro around the early morning of the third day at the latest. It was Feia's house, but the fact was that even after chasing him until the evening, there was still no sign of anyone.

Roja, who lived in the Gemstone Necklace Fleet for a while, knew it very well. Normally, a mobile palace created by such a space spell would be slower than an ordinary carriage. The main thing he pursued was In terms of comfort, it is unlikely that a sudden technological breakthrough will make it possible to run faster. If it has disappeared until now, there is only one reason that can be thought of.

That is, Charlotte and others, just like Roja and others, are also on the road day and night.

Thinking of this, the black-haired boy couldn't help but frown. If Roja was still guessing before, now he was sure that something happened to Charlotte and the others.

At the end of the joint meeting of various countries, unlike the troubled Theocracy, Rosse, who has abundant financial resources, has no urgent matters at all. Normally, there is no need to rush like this at all, so the most likely reason is that he is avoiding something.

Enemy? No, it's impossible. After all, this is the official path of the country of scholars. How could someone pursue someone in a place like this? Even a fallen person as powerful as the Treeman Priest had to trick Roja and others into the ravine before taking action.

If it’s not the enemy’s pursuit, then what else is worthy of Charlotte’s violent attack? Could it be that... she’s hiding from me?

After thinking about it for a while, Roja suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and then the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, but at the same time, he felt a lot of confusion.

Why avoid him? Even if something goes wrong in the relationship between two people, running away won't solve the problem, right? You left without saying goodbye before. Was there something you didn't want to tell him?

The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the black-haired boy couldn't help but reach out and pinch his eyebrows. Then he looked at the busy pagan warriors, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down.

In any case, after three days of urgent pursuit, Roja and others were in such a state that they could no longer move forward, and the young man also seized the short time to think carefully about the clues.

Putting aside the girl's thoughts for the moment, if something really happened to Charlotte this time, what was the root cause? There should be no security issues for the eldest lady who just returned from the joint meeting. In other words, is it an internal matter?

After Acate and Rosse restored their previous relationship and engaged in frequent business cooperation, the military represented by Mr. Eugene has always been a die-hard supporter of the two. It is difficult to imagine a combination of Bruce and the military. What chaos will happen in the country... Wait! Bruce!

The moment this name appeared in the boy's mind, the black-haired boy suddenly widened his eyes and remembered the opportunity for him to meet Charlotte, which was the lamp sold to Bruce. At the same time, what also appeared in Roja's mind was There are strange illnesses in men.

Roy had the opportunity to see the immortality of Bruce's body a few years ago. Since most of the items in the system were unique, Roy did not find anything similar to that lamp after that. Fortunately, even After the lamp oil was used up, the effect of the spell did not completely disappear.

Although it has deteriorated, with the help of the oil lamp, Bruce's condition could barely be maintained before. Could it be that something happened this time that caused Charlotte's father to fall ill?

Thinking of this possibility, Roja felt a little better. Although it was a bit bad to say this, in fact, as long as it was not Charlotte who had an accident on Rosse's side, Roja wouldn't be so anxious. Even if Bruce was critically ill, he would still be worried about Ah. The same goes for Carter's tie.

Roja, whose thoughts were almost exclusively involved in an affair, shook his head when he thought of this, looking up at the bright starry sky, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

"Miss, you can't go on like this."

In the gem necklace convoy, the black-haired maid looked at the girl who fell ill after waking up in the early morning, with a sad look on her face. In front of her, Charlotte, whose condition had just improved yesterday, fell ill again. got up.

There are no signs, and there is no way to stop it. The only thing that can be done is to use the golden soul to suppress and share it to a certain extent. The unknown disease that Charlotte suffers from is like this, as difficult to deal with as an uncaptured ghost, and Seeing the girl who was deprived of her health again in a short period of time, Grace could no longer bear it.

"Miss, I have to tell Mr. Roja about this no matter what, and I ask for your forgiveness."

"Grace! Didn't I say not to..."

"Miss, although I am a maid, I am also your guard. One of my jobs is to ensure your safety. I think the current situation is quite unfavorable. I must seek support from our allies, that is, the Akat family. Please also ask Don't continue to be stubborn.

"

Faced with Charlotte's strict prohibition, the black-haired maid interrupted the girl's words for the first time and stated her opinion firmly. Seeing Grace with a serious expression like a warrior, The brown-red-haired girl on the hospital bed couldn't help but be stunned.

"Grace... you are making a fuss out of a molehill. The matter is not as serious as you think. This disease will be aggravated at night, and it will make people look worse than they actually are in the morning. Father This is what adults are like, you should know this."

"..."

Looking at the determined maid, the brown-red-haired girl thought for a moment and then lowered her voice and persuaded Grace softly, hoping to make Grace give up her mind. However, these things were in front of the maid who had been with Charlotte since she was a child. It didn't work.

"Indeed, I have heard that Mr. Bruce is not in good condition in the early morning. But Miss, let's not mention the extent of your illness. Both the frequency and duration of your illness have greatly increased."

"..."

Hearing Grace's direct question, the girl on the hospital bed was speechless and didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

As Grace said, Charlotte's symptoms were actually just a moment of discomfort at the beginning, lasting only a few seconds, and the frequency was about once every half a month. It even made people think it was an illusion caused by fatigue and neurasthenia. , however, as time passed, not only the frequency became once every few days, but the duration also began to gradually increase.

Although the disease does not threaten the girl's life so far, with this development trend, sooner or later the disease will become a stubborn disease that can kill people like Bruce.

The black-haired maid hardened her attitude when she thought of these things, but Charlotte on the bed had no intention of changing her mind. When the two of them looked at each other and refused to give in, the female guard outside the door suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

"Miss, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind us, led by Mr. Roya, the acting lord of Akaat. Look..."

"What!?"

Hearing the guard's words, Charlotte sat up suddenly, her emerald eyes suddenly shrank, and outside the carriage, a black-haired boy quickly approached.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

"Lord Roja, Miss Charlotte is dressing up and it will take some time. Please wait a moment."

"Well, I understand."

On the official road of the Kingdom of Scholars, a row of more than ten beautifully decorated carriages were parked on the side of the road. They had obviously traveled a long distance. Looking at the carriage drivers and guards in the team who started fighting with their upper and lower eyelids after parking, Roya also Basically confirming the guess that Sorofia's family traveled day and night, his eyes became sharp.

Sure enough there is a problem.

The black-haired boy who thought so held the reins and recalled everything that had happened before.

This morning, before the sun rose, Roja and his team started on the road again. After several hours of galloping, they finally succeeded in catching up with Charlotte's gem necklace convoy. However, to Roja's surprise, the convoy discovered them. After that, he did not stop immediately, but chose to continue moving forward.

In the past, no matter when or for whatever reason, as long as Roja accidentally met Charlotte, the girl would definitely ask the convoy to stop immediately. However, this time, the brown-red-haired girl did not do so, leaving Roja full. I followed the convoy for a long time.

And after the motorcade stopped, what happened was even weirder. Charlotte didn't jump out of the car as usual, and the person who came out to greet him was not Grace, who was a girl's personal maid, but a female guard. Although Roja I also have some impressions of her, but as the person who welcomes Roja, she is undoubtedly not qualified.

Is this a show of force? No, it shouldn’t be...

Seeing this situation, Roja couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't think much about it. After all, these are not very important now. Roja's goal is very clear, that is, waiting for Charlotte to come forward and explain everything. However, as time passes, Seconds passed by, but the black-haired boy frowned.

It's too long.

Looking at the drivers who had begun to take a nap due to the long parking, the black-haired boy couldn't help but look heavy.

Although it takes a lot of time for young girls to get up early and tidy up their appearance, Charlotte, the eldest daughter of Sorofia, is not among them. During the days when Roja traveled with her, the girl was very fast every morning. , there may even be extra time to peek at Roja's sleeping face.

It's bright now, and according to Charlotte's habit, she should have gotten up early. Why hasn't the door opened for so long? The boy who didn't know what the brown-red haired girl meant was confused. Just when he was hesitating whether to forcefully enter directly, the car door that had been closed finally opened, and Charlotte's invitation came.

Roja nodded when he heard that Charlotte was already waiting in the reception room. After more than a year, he entered the gem necklace fleet again. After passing through the door and the spacious living room, the black-haired boy came to the familiar reception room. In the guest room, on the bench opposite, the brown-red haired girl had already sat down.

After not seeing each other for a year, Charlotte's appearance has not changed much, and her height has not increased significantly. Her brown-red hair is still as beautiful as floating flames, her white skin is flawless, her upright face and The emerald eyes are intoxicating.

Today's girl is wearing a red and white dress, with exposed shoulders

It has a strong personal design style. It must have been made by the girl herself. The waist is tight and the skirt is not too long. The red leg ring on the exposed slender thigh is particularly conspicuous.

Seductive yet pure, noble yet avant-garde, this is Charlotte’s unique feeling and her unique personal charm.

When he saw the brown-red haired girl, the black-haired boy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment because of the stunning beauty, but then he coughed and adjusted himself.

"Long time no see, Charlotte, how are you doing?"

"...Well, I'm fine, how about you, my dear?"

"I'm not bad either."

Hearing Charlotte's rhetorical question, the black-haired boy couldn't help but speak as he recalled his experiences this year. From the tragedy at Tucker Fortress to the civil war in the church, to the recent investigation team incident, Roja's experience this year The experience is really difficult to describe in a good way, but on the other side, the brown-red haired girl is even more so.

Holding back the weakness in her body, Charlotte put down the teacup and stared at Roja with almost greedy eyes. After meeting again after a year, Charlotte actually had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to express, but now she didn't. A good time.

The brown-red-haired girl has not forgotten her state. Originally, according to the plan, Charlotte should express her dissatisfaction and then find a way to let Roja leave. However, after meeting, the girl found that she overestimated herself. This plan was actually She couldn't do it at all.

The moment she saw the boy, Charlotte's heart beat almost painfully. It was a sudden burst of longing and emotion that had been dormant for a year, making the girl's rusty heart suddenly come to life.

No, we can't drive him away or anything.

The girl who was thinking about this became distressed. Opposite her, Roja returned to reality after a moment of recollection. Looking at Charlotte, she asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Charlotte, what happened recently?"

"Huh? What happened? Honey, what are you talking about?"

"Don't act, it won't work on me."

Hearing Roja's sudden question, Charlotte's emerald eyes flashed with panic for a moment, and then smiled to cover it up. However, seeing such a girl, Roja was completely unmoved.

From the moment he met Charlotte, Roja knew that the girl was a master of acting. Roja was often deceived by her when they got along. However, as time passed and the two became more familiar with each other, this trick gradually became more and more important to Roja. Asia failed.

"You didn't tell me when you returned to St. Freya College before, and then you went back to China without saying goodbye. I don't think this is your normal behavior. Tell me, what happened?"

"...It's nothing, I just feel homesick suddenly."

"homesick?"

"good."

Faced with Roja's questioning, the brown-red-haired girl gave such an answer. This obviously perfunctory answer naturally did not satisfy Roja. However, no matter how the boy asked, Charlotte remained unmoved and persisted. He said that he just traveled too long and wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.

Hearing Charlotte's words, not only did Roja not feel relieved, but his worries increased sharply. Knowing the girl, he had a vague premonition, but he couldn't get the slightest clue from the girl's words. In desperation, Roja could only observe Charlotte, trying to see some clues from other aspects, and soon, an anomaly was discovered by him as a matter of course.

Looking at the lonely girl in front of him, Roja's golden pupils narrowed slightly, and his eyes became as sharp as hawks. After thinking for a while, the young man spoke and asked his question.

"Charlotte, your maid, where is Grace?"
