deceased

Although it was a dark night ahead, both Gregory and Hayden could see vigilance and consideration in each other's eyes.

"Marshal." Gregory pretended to be confused, "Has His Majesty the Emperor issued a new mission? I hope I didn't disturb anything."

Hayden said generously, "I'm planning to go to Mar City for vacation. I remembered that you and Miss Monica are also planning to go in this direction, so I want to try my luck and see if I can bump into you."

The hit was really precise.

Gregory only wanted to avoid Mrs. Demi before, but he didn't expect that Hayden would come to intervene.Did Hayden really fall in love with this fake Monica?This thought flashed through his mind, but was firmly rejected.He could see that Hayden was interested in the Necromancer's women's attire, but it was definitely not to the point where he dropped all his affairs and followed to the city of Mar when the imperial capital was in disarray. There must be something he didn't know about it.

An uneasiness welled up in him.With the relationship between Hayden and Frank, if he knew that there was a necromancer sitting in the carriage, he would definitely do everything possible to send him back to save Otis.Gregory didn't know if the necromancer would be useful in reviving Otis, but what was certain was that he was not willing to take the risk at all.

In just a short moment, he thought a lot, but he didn't show it on the surface. "That's such a coincidence." Gregory noticed the movement of Hayden's gaze and couldn't help turning his head.

Mundra got out of the carriage.He was wearing the black cloak that Gregory had borrowed from Mrs. Lillian before he left.The cloak covered his entire body except for his small head, making him appear to be buried under the cloak, moving like a small mound of dirt as he walked.

Hayden rolled his eyes and showed his first genuinely happy smile of the night, "It's nice to see you again so soon, Monica."

Mundra tilted his head and gave him a look.Because of the strange things Hayden did to him this morning, he is still wary of him now.He knew in his heart that the other party seemed to be interested in him like the opposite sex, but he didn't take it too seriously.

When Gregory saw Mundra walking over, his heart tightened, and he stretched out his hand to hold his palm very naturally, and said softly, "Is it cold?"

Mundra paused, "It's not cold."

Gregory gently stroked the bangs on his forehead with his fingers, revealing his smooth forehead.

Such an intimate gesture made Mundra feel very uncomfortable.Every necromancer has a serious sense of territory. Although his sense of territory has weakened due to the weakening of the spirit of the undead, it does not mean that he has no sense of territory.From Hayden to Mrs. Nicole to Gregory, everyone seemed to like to move around on him, and he began to consider whether to stay away from this group of offenders and return to Mar City on his own.

Fortunately, just to express their intimacy in front of Hayden, Gregory quickly withdrew his hand back, and the somewhat sleepy Mundra quickly dismissed the idea just now.

"I have prepared some snacks, would you like to come to my carriage?" Hayden asked.Since Mundella personally denied Gregory's fiancé relationship, his attempt to "Monica" is no longer as vague as before—even in front of Gregory.

Gregory put his arms around Mundra's shoulders, "It's Monica's bedtime now, I think she needs more rest."

If Gregory hadn't put his arms around his shoulders, maybe Mundra would have hesitated. Although Hayden is a very rare material, his penchant for encroaching on other people's territory makes people feel difficult to get along with.But when Gregory made the same mistake, Mundella chose without hesitation the one who liked to touch himself, but he also liked to touch him.

Mundella shrugged, and then slowly walked towards Hayden under Gregory's surprised eyes.

Hayden grinned, showing his neat and white teeth, and his bright smile almost drove away the chill and haze of the night.

Mundella's eyes involuntarily averted his smile.His smile seemed to have thorns, which made his eyes hurt a little, and his heart was churning with an indescribable feeling, as if a dead thing suffered from the power of light.

Seeing that he stopped, Hayden took the initiative to take two steps forward. Before Gregory could say anything, he hugged him and gently touched his cheek with his hand, "You should wear a mask. That way you won't get frostbite on your face."

Mundra said: "There will be no frostbite." The temperature at night in Xiguimo can form a layer of frost on the face. Dealing with heat and cold is a compulsory course for every necromancer living in Xiguimo.

Hayden pulled him into the carriage, and took out the snacks that Mrs. Nicole had prepared before leaving.

Mundra was not very interested in eating, he just glanced at it lightly, and had no intention of reaching out.

Hayden put it away wisely.He knew from a long time ago that the taciturn Miss Monica was not easy to please, but because of this, it was very interesting.He smiled and looked at Mundella's drowsy look without feeling impatient at all.

The carriage was much roomier and more comfortable than Gregory's.Mundra adjusted a comfortable posture, tilted his head and pressed his forehead against the window, closed his eyes and planned to sleep.But he soon woke up again.The unrepaired road was full of all kinds of stones, and the carriage kept bumping up and down, knocking his forehead against the window one after another, making a soft thumping sound.

Hayden covered his lips and seemed to be smiling, but his body was already in position for him to lean over.

Mundella rubbed his forehead, thought for a while, and simply curled up his knees, wrapped them with his arms, and then rested his head on his knees.

Hayden, who was ignored, could only sigh and put his arms on his side, forming a protective circle.

Mundella fell asleep for a while, and his body swayed from side to side as the carriage shook.Several times, his shoulders were almost touching Hayden's chest, and Hayden was ready to donate, but at the critical moment, the carriage turned him back again.

"..."

After a few times, Hayden took his hand back.He was pretty sure that, despite the seemingly shaky appearance of the pose, it actually had a unique balance.

When the carriage approached the edge of Van Riel, it encountered soldiers standing guard like this, and the cold and sharp voice came through the door panel.

Hayden reached out to gently comfort the awakened Mundra, and listened quietly to Hansen's explanation.

The soldiers still seemed to have doubts about their identities.In fact, their suspicions were well-founded.In order to get rid of Mrs. Demi's entanglement, Gregory deliberately gave up the city of Misai, the teleportation magic circle closest to Fanriel, and chose the city of Katla, which is in the opposite direction but far away. From the common sense, it is a detour. Coupled with such a dark night, such two carriages looked suspicious no matter how they looked.

Hansen watched helplessly as the soldiers ignored the pass in their hands and walked to the carriage.The moon finally revealed a small half of its face behind the clouds, and the thin light lingered around the carriage.

The searching eyes of the soldiers stopped suddenly when they touched the simple and elegant family crest on the carriage.As if in disbelief, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.Beautiful purple tulips in bud are more alluring than gems.

"That Feist..." Another soldier behind the soldier exclaimed.

Hansen smiled and put away the pass in his hand.

"Please get out of the car." The soldier standing at the front shouted cautiously and anxiously, revealing a deep guilty conscience in his tone.

The door was pushed open gently.

Hayden stepped down, his dazzling blond hair was coated with a mysterious paleness under the moonlight.He looked at the two soldiers who were even more frightened, and said with a smile: "I am Hayden Nafist, and Gregory Danya is sitting in the car behind. For personal reasons, we want to use Katla The magic circle in the city is sent to the city of Mal. I hope you can let it go."

"Yes, of course." The soldier in front looked up at Hayden, so excited that he almost wanted to break the spear in his hand with one hand.The man standing in front of him is not only the marshal of the empire, but also the most noble example of every soldier of the empire!They respect Ciro because Ciro is the master of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor.They respect Hayden, but because he is the youngest marshal in the history of the empire, and he is currently the most accomplished soldier in the empire!

Hayden stretched out his hand to straighten his uniform, "General Bessa once said that night is the time when soldiers are most sleepy, but the time when the enemy is most awake. But your performance strongly refuted his words. Keep a clearer mind than the enemy at all times."

"Yes!" The soldiers puffed up their chests and proudly looked at the smiling young man in front of them.

Hayden held out his hand to Hansen.

Hansen took out the pass and handed it to him.

Hayden said: "But I hope that next time you will let it go because of this pass, not because of this carriage."

The soldiers blushed and nodded dully, watching Hayden re-board the carriage, spontaneously stood in two rows, raised their spears, and sent them away with the highest and most respectful etiquette known.

Van Riel City is about three days away from Katla City.Mundra was asleep most of the time on the road, and Gregory tried to get close to him several times, but Hayden dismissed them lightly.

Later, Gregory also gave up.He thought very clearly, if Hayden really knew the identity of Mundra, then they should not move forward now, but retreat.Since Hayden was still happily heading towards Katla City, it meant that the identity of the little necromancer had not been revealed yet.

Perhaps, Hayden really wanted to please him by sending him home?

Gregory decided to stand still and wait and see what happened.

Three days passed quickly.

When Hansen saw an old but majestic city wall appearing at the end of the road, he quickly dropped the dry food in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "Meat, meat... I can finally eat meat. "

The soldiers in Katla City were not as rigorous as the soldiers in Van Riel, and they let them in after a cursory review of the passing order.

The noisy sounds and mixed aromas on the street made Hansen couldn't help but take a deep breath.He has not seen such a lively scene for a long time. The Van Riel who is being restored is silent, like a sleeping giant. Everyone knows that it is very powerful, and everyone knows that it will wake up one day, but now, it Still asleep.

They found an ordinary hotel to stay.

When the innkeeper and the staff saw the purple tulip family crest on the carriage, Qiqi gasped and stared at the door of the carriage without blinking until Hayden and Mundra got out of the carriage before swallowing Drooled.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and straight body, handsome face...

Is it Marshal Pfister?

The boss and the guy looked at each other.

There were many sharp-eyed travelers in the hotel, and they all started whispering.

But when Hayden, Mundella, and Gregory walked through the door, those voices died away immediately.Everyone lowered their heads, desperately trying to pretend nothing had happened, but the corner of their eyes always involuntarily swept towards Hayden.

Hayden asked for five rooms, one for each of them, and took Mundra upstairs.

As soon as their figures disappeared on the stairs, there were chattering voices from below.Since Hayden and the others hadn't walked far enough, the voices of the loudest voices reached their ears without obstruction——

"The one next to Marshal Pfister should be Miss Donna, right?"

"Isn't Miss Donna red-haired? It should be Duchess Dorothy."

"No, no, I feel like Princess Elena."

……

Hayden coughed dryly and said, "I'm sure there is no one named Donna among the people I know, and I'm even more sure that there is no Duchess Doros and Princess Elena in the Cedar Empire."

Mundra gave him a puzzled look, "Oh."

Hayden looked at his indifferent face, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, and reached out to stroke his hair.

Mundella subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his movements were very gentle, too much like the comfort of his sick master when he was young, so he only turned slightly to one side and did not move again.

Hayden seemed to feel his acceptance, and his hands became more gentle.

Gregory watched their interaction from behind, feeling a vengeful schadenfreude in his heart.If it wasn't for Otis, he was actually looking forward to Hayden's expression when he knew that Mundra was a male necromancer.

The three-day and three-night journey was nothing to Hayden and Hansen, but considering Mundra and Gregory who were traveling with them, they still rested in the hotel for a day and a half to rest. just set off.

At lunchtime, the small dining room of the hotel was full of people. In fact, they had been around the hotel since last night.Whether it was a man or a woman, their eyes were fixed on Hayden without exception.

Hayden took care of Mundra as if no one else was there, turning a blind eye to sight.

Mundra seemed to be unaware of these gazes, and ate the food Hayden handed over with peace of mind until he was full.

Seeing that they had finished their lunch and were ready to leave, the crowd of onlookers stood up nervously and looked at them expectantly.The women tried their best to put on their best side, hoping to attract Hayden's attention.Although they were very impatient, no one dared to come forward.In the empire, there is still a deep gap between the nobles and the common people. Even though they obey the unified imperial code, the code is obviously more tolerant towards the nobles. There is even a crime called offense, which refers to the disrespect of the common people to the nobles.

Hansen and the driver of Danya's family drove the carriage out of the shed. After Hayden helped Mundra into the carriage, he suddenly turned around and waved to those eyes staring at him with a smile.

"Oh!"

The crowd burst into cheers of excitement.

The cheers continued until the carriage disappeared from sight.
