deceased

It's time to camp again.

In order not to let the city lord's hospitality slow down the pace of returning to Van Riel, Hayden's return route bypassed major cities as much as possible, so every time he camped, he camped in the wilderness near the water source.

Mundra woke up in a daze and found himself being held in Gregory's arms.The other party was moving forward without saying a word, as if feeling his gaze, Gregory lowered his head, "Are you awake?"

Mundra blinked, adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, and closed her eyes again.

Rhodes, who was following step by step, almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

Does he consider it a tourist?Gregory is the enemy, the enemy!Hayden is also an enemy, an enemy!They are going to the enemy's base camp now!Only a pig would sleep so comfortably in the arms of an enemy!

Rhodes' eyes stared fiercely at the top of Mundra's head.From Hayden's point of view, he is an evil servant with fierce eyes.

Hansen followed his gaze and whispered, "Uh, I also think there's something wrong with this servant."

Hayden said: "Although he doesn't say much, his eyes express a lot."

Hansen said: "Oh, he is a person who can speak with his eyes."

Hayden said: "If you like it, I will give it to you."

The corner of Hansen's mouth twitched, "I'd rather have a pet." He watched them enter the tent, looked at Hayden suspiciously, and said, "The marshal really decided to hand Miss Monica to these two people?"

Hayden hugged his chest and said, "Well, I always respect the choices of beauties."

Hansen said: "But I think your beauty seems a little..." He hesitated whether to tell the truth.

Hayden was curious about his evaluation and looked sideways at him with interest.

It took Hansen a long time to spit out, "No brains."

Hayden couldn't help laughing, "I think it's cute."

Hansen: "..." Marshal's aesthetics has always been...to learn from others' strengths!

Mundra opened his eyes only after Gregory put him on the bed.

Rhodes coughed dryly and said, "I've been running all the way, Miss needs to tidy up, please ask Mr. Gregory to wait outside."

Gregory nodded, took a few steps outside, stopped suddenly and looked at Rhodes: "What about you?"

"Me?" Rhodes said confidently, "Of course I will stay and serve the young lady." This guy, he can't do without serving!

Gregory frowned and said, "You are also a man."

Rhodes said: "I have always served Miss like this."

Gregory said: "From now on, we must change."

Rhode suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said, "What to change?"

Gregory said: "She is my fiancée, I don't want other men to touch her."

"..." Rhodes looked at him in surprise.He wouldn't really be in love with Mundra within a short day of waking up, would he?God knows, the guy Mundra didn't do anything but sleep all the way.Love is indeed the most inexplicable thing in the world.

Mundella said suddenly, "I want him to stay with me."

Rhodes shed tears of emotion.Having known each other for so long, the number of times that Mundra said a decent sentence is less than the number of times that Castaron II and Queen Samantha fell in love.

Gregory said, "I can also stay with you."

Rhodes said: "Although you are Miss Monica's fiancé, you are not yet an official couple. I don't think this is appropriate."

Gregory looked at Mundella silently.

If he and Rhodes were alone in the tent, the other party would chatter endlessly until his ears became cocooned.For the sake of clean ears, Mundra said: "Let's stay together."

Rhodes: "..." How can I pry open this guy's head and get in rationally?dagger?shovel?Or a leg bone?He had imagined countless bloody scenarios in his mind.

The three of them stayed in the tent like this.

Mundra continued to sleep, while Rhodes was full of thoughts about how to leave.Gregory remained silent, but when Rhodes was not paying attention, his eyes would stay on Rhodes and Mundra from time to time, as if thinking about something.

When it was time to eat, Hayden didn't invite them over to eat, but sent Hansen to deliver the food.Probably afraid that Miss Monica would not be used to the food in the military camp, Hayden specially hunted a sheep and brought it back. After the chef cooked it carefully, it turned into a delicious grilled lamb chop.Both Gregory and Rhodes enjoyed their food and had a big meal.

After they finished eating, Hayden came over with a smile, ready to be grateful.

Rhodes really praised it, even Gregory said that the roast lamb tasted very good, only Mundra said nothing.

Hayden blinked and asked, "Is the roast lamb not to Miss Monica's taste?"

Mundra said: "Food is only used to maintain life, as long as it doesn't get poisoned."

Rhodes clutched his forehead.Mundra has traveled too far on the road of whimsy to feel his way back.

Hayden smiled and said, "You are probably the most noble lady I have ever seen who is suitable for a career in the military camp."

Is this a compliment or a sarcasm?

Rhodes couldn't tell from Hayden's face.But one thing is for sure, he has given up saving the image of Mundella's noble lady, which is more difficult than learning the light magic.And that might not necessarily be a bad thing.Thinking of what Hayden did to Mundra when he was in a coma, Rhodes felt that his makeup skills were still too clever, and he should have made Mundra look a little rougher.

"Your tolerance and generosity have eased my guilt a little bit." Hayden said, "In order to be able to attend the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time, we will be traveling day and night in the next few days. But please rest assured, I have prepared a comfortable carriage, you just need to rest in it."

Rhodes turned pale and said, "Does it have to travel day and night?" Doesn't that cut the time required for the return journey in half?

Hayden said: "I think Miss Monica will definitely not want to miss this feast."

Speaking of feasting, Mundra's eyes lit up slightly.He reconfirmed: "Will Heidein really go?"

Hayden was curious that he singled out Hyde's name, "You know him?"

Mundra said, "I'd love to see him."

Hayden glanced at Gregory.I always thought that Rhodes was a person who needed to be observed, but now it seems that this Miss Monica is not simple.Plus the heir to the Danya family who has lost his memory...his catch this time is so much fun.

After one night, Hayden really implemented his day and night plan.

During this period, Rhodes was always looking for opportunities to leave.In the middle of the night, early in the morning, after dinner, before breakfast... He used almost all the time he could, but he couldn't find a gap.That Hansen just wanted to be like a fart, following him like a shadow.Even after hitting the road, he rode behind him.

Rhode couldn't help but said, "Don't you need to follow Marshal Hayden?"

Hansen shrugged and said, "I'm very relieved to have Miss Monica accompanying Mr. Marshal."

Rhodes looked back at the carriage in the middle of the team.

Yep, only two of them -- Hayden and Mundella.

Even Gregory, who bears the title of heir to the Danya family, can only ride a horse alone and follow behind Dinant.

Rhodes felt that he was too worried.Since he has to worry about Hayden stretching out his wolf claws to Mundra, he also has to worry about Mundra taking off the armband on his arm, and he also has to worry about Mundra accidentally saying the wrong thing and shaking them all out.

"..." When will this kind of day end?He silently glanced at Hansen beside him, and sighed silently.

The scene in the carriage was obviously not as sinister as Rhodes imagined.In fact, he had been sleeping since Mundra got into the carriage.Sleeping by the window, sleeping on the cushion behind him, and finally found that sleeping on Hayden's shoulder is the most comfortable.

Hayden hugged his shoulders very generously, and even patted his shoulders rhythmically with his palms to help him fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took.

Mundra woke up slowly, his eyes first looked at the surrounding environment, and then he checked the spirit of the undead in his body, and then drooped his head depressedly.Not seeing his skeleton and witch corpse for so long made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Hayden was keenly aware of his emotional changes, and asked softly, "Is the carriage uncomfortable?"

Mundra shook his head, still lost in his own thoughts.The latest witch corpse has not been named yet, and his fingernails have not been painted yet. I really don't know when I will see him again.He suddenly regretted his impulsiveness, even if he saw Hydein in Van Riel, what could he do?There was nothing to do except watch him drooling.Hydein would never give himself to him.

Thinking of this, he became even more depressed.

The fluctuations in his mood indirectly affected Hayden's mood.He thought for a while, then took out an exquisite ruby ​​bracelet from the space bag, handed it to him and said, "This is a gift I bought at the Santu Auction. I was attracted by its dazzling appearance at first sight , but at that time there was no one who would wear it until I met you."

Mundra looked up.

Hayden's heart throbbed violently.Those were a pair of eyes that were so dark that they glowed. When they looked straight at a person, it was believed that that person would never be able to refuse their invitation.Thinking this way in his heart, he leaned his head involuntarily.

Mundra blinked. "I like bones."

Hayden paused and said, "What?"

"Bones," Mundra said.

Only then did Hayden realize that he was talking about his own gift.This was the first time he had heard a noble girl say that she preferred bones to gems.He thought for a while, took the ruby ​​back, and then took out a thick necklace made of animal teeth.This gift is the veteran of his interspatial bag. Since it was laid down, no one has paid attention to it until now. This is the first time it has seen the sun again, but it is unexpected that the recipient is not a knight but a girl.

Hayden just wanted to try it out, but Mundella was really happy.He took the necklace with both hands, stroked each tooth seriously and reverently, and whispered: "Their death must be very beautiful."

Hayden propped his chin and said, "The autumn wind blew, and the sweet-scented osmanthus on the tree fell to the ground. The fragrance filled the air, covering the breath of the death of the beast."

Mundella frowned. "That's too bad."

Hayden was taken aback.

Mundra said: "Death is the end of life, and it is the proof that life once existed. Why cover the breath of death?"

Hayden readjusted and came up with a new version——

"A dense mass of arrows were planted next to the beast's corpse, there was blood all over the mountains, and there was an almost frozen, lingering smell of blood in the air."

Mundella raised his head and said, "That's really beautiful."

……

Hayden once again confirmed what he said before.Monica is indeed the most suitable noble lady in the world for a military career.

After driving day and night for five days, Rhodes finally found a chance to leave.

They encounter Hussein, who was sent by Ciro to arrest Mundra.

Finding a necromancer is definitely not an easy task.Although the aura of undead on their bodies is easy to identify, they know how to hide because they have been fighting alone all year round.So when Hayden saw Hussey, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights. He looked very decadent, and he couldn't connect him with the rose knight who was famous for protecting Mrs. Rachel back then.

Hayden felt refreshed.He got out of the carriage, accepted Hussey's salute frankly, and embraced him with open arms.

Hussey was flattered.Back then, they were their own masters, and he and Hayden really couldn't talk about friendship, so his warm greeting was beyond his expectation.

Hayden let go of his hand and asked, "Still looking for Mundra?" He and Ciro have been keeping in touch with each other, so they know what's going on in the empire like the back of their hands.

Hou Saidao: "Yes."

Hayden said: "I just came from the west, and I didn't see any suspicious characters."

Hussein's expression darkened.Since joining Ciro, he has been looking for a chance to prove himself.This was the first important task Ciro entrusted to him, and he didn't want to mess it up.

Hayden patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't we go back to Van Riel to attend the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hussein shook his head and said, "I can't delay any time."

Thinking of Otis who was in danger, Hayden swallowed his words of persuasion. It is true that there is no time to waste a second at such a time.He thought for a while and said, "I'll let Dinan go with you. One more person, one more effort."

At such a time, of course Hussein would not refuse his kindness, he readily agreed, and then found a familiar figure in the team, surprised: "That's not..."

Hayden followed his gaze back.
