Adrian looked at the other person's expression and smiled.

"I know that this journey is indeed a bit presumptuous, and the VIP we are escorting is also on a whim."

VIP.

Mallos frowned upon hearing this.

When the guard captain saw this, he smiled and patted Mallos on the shoulder.

Adrian knew Marius, his former herald, who liked to arrange everything clearly and orderly, and was more accustomed to taking precautions and being prepared for emergencies.

Correspondingly, Mallos doesn't like surprises and hates taking risks. There is no improvisation or improvisation in his dictionary. Any situation that is not planned and planned will make him frown.

In this way, it is really difficult for him to serve Prince Thales.

What a pity. The original purpose of establishing the position of watchman of the royal guard is to deal with accidents and mishaps.

Toledo, Glover, Tang Xin, Piroga, Trifanov... the Star Lake guards greeted their former colleagues in the Fuxing Palace with straight faces. The latter also had solemn expressions, and several royal guards even

He didn't want them to touch his mount, his armor was still on, he didn't know how to use a weapon, and he didn't even want to say anything.

They had only been separated for a few months, and already there was a gap between them.

Only D.D was beaming and waved hello to everyone he knew or wasn't familiar with without any scruples ("Hey, buddy, you look familiar, which wing did you transfer from? Wow, you are so strong, and your helmet is so handsome!"

Hey, we are all the emperor's imperial guards, don't be so cold!"), many people answered no, or didn't answer, which was extremely embarrassing.

Captain Adrian saw all this, but he remained calm and just walked forward with Mallos, looking at the brand new Star Lake Castle.

"I can see that you run this place very well. I haven't seen Xinghu Castle like this for many years..."

Whoosh!

Meow!

Before he finished speaking, a yellow-spotted cat chased a raven and passed in front of them both. The dust raised hit Adrian's boots, and the captain couldn't help but choke on his words.

Mallos's face also looked a little ugly.

"in this way……"

Ouch!

Chasing the cat and bird just now, a little puppy flopped over awkwardly, tripped over itself once, and staggered away after the cat and bird.

"So...enthusiastic."

Captain Adrian finally found an adjective and coughed lowly:

"It's just that there are more small animals."

There are more small animals.

Mallos looked at the far away scene and thought of a certain Duke's genius idea of ​​"using cats to control rats" and "using dogs to limit cats", and couldn't help but rub his hands.

Itchy nose, calm response:

"Please forgive me, Xinghu Castle has been empty for many years, so it is full of wild charm."

"So, you are insinuating that the Fuxing Palace and the Royal Guards have not given you enough financial support?"

"I didn't say that."

"Do you always have the same tone towards Duke Thales?"

"I don't dare," Marius said without any shame, "You can see the setting sun. I have always been courteous and respectful to His Highness Thales."

Before Adrian could reply, the Duke of Star Lake himself had arrived accompanied by his attendants.

"Why do I have such an honor to have the guardian of Fuxing Palace visit me?" Thales said with a smile on his face.

Adrian bowed and was about to reply when Thales interrupted him cheerfully:

"So, Lord Adrian, my old man finally couldn't bear it anymore and wants to send you to get rid of me to avoid future troubles?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways, and Huaiya behind him was even more shocked.

Adrian's face stiffened slightly, and he looked at Mallos.

The watchman smiled politely back at him:

"Sorry, the Duke has been suffering from constipation recently and is in a bad mood."

What?

Now it was Thales' turn to frown fiercely:

"You also know this? Don't you always stand outside the toilet door, smell the smell, and observe the feces?"

"That's not necessary," Mallos was unmoved, "just count the amount of toilet paper you use every time you go to the toilet. It's obvious that you go more often, squat longer, but use less, and I don't

I’d like to guess that you don’t like cleanliness, so there’s only one answer.”

Thales froze.

Well, in the past few days, he did spend a lot of time shutting himself up in the toilet and thinking hard.

but……

He gave Maris a sharp look: Constipation?

real?

Captain Adrian narrowed his eyes and gave Mallos a look that only the two people's tacit understanding could understand:

Respectful?

Mallos gave him an indifferent look:

No more can be added.

"I am a prince after all, but I don't even have privacy to defecate?" Thales was indignant.

"But before the autumn harvest, you can't even pay for one more washermaid." Mallos showed no mercy and dealt a fatal blow.

The prince was short of breath and had nothing to say.

Adrian thought about it and realized, well, they were indeed expressing their dissatisfaction with the financial support of the Fuxing Palace.

Just before Thales racked his brains to come up with words to reply to Mallos, Captain Adrian coughed.

"In short, Your Highness, I am indeed here with a mission," the guard captain said with a smile, "but it is not what you think. Your Majesty has ordered me to escort the kingdom's meritorious heroes back to their hometown to rest."

"Meritorious hero?"

Thales narrowed his eyes: "Ha, there are still people these days who can be..."

But before he finished speaking, a special voice came from behind:

"Wow, you've grown up, kid."

Thales was shocked when he heard this.

As the words fell, another group of people followed the royal guards and entered the gate of the castle.

Their postures are tall and straight, their momentum is majestic, and their movements are crisp and clear. They are obviously soldiers.

And Thales' eyes were fixed on the leader.

The guest in casual clothes got off his stirrup, walked out of the queue with a big smile, and walked towards Thales:

"Looks like an adult."

Behind the prince, Wyatt looked surprised, and Rolf had to remind him impatiently to keep his manners.

Thales controlled his breathing, looked at the old acquaintance in front of him whom he had not seen for many years, and smiled.

The visitor was not tall, but her posture was free and easy. She calmly walked past the Star Lake Guards and Royal Guards and came to Thales.

"Like an adult... In fact, you are the twenty-first person to say this about me, but I am still very happy and thank you for your recognition."

A few seconds later, Duke Xinghu took a step forward. Although it was not etiquette, he sincerely bowed to the guest in front of him, a woman who was extremely conspicuous among the men:

"Long time no see, I miss you so much. Welcome to my castle, my dear lady."

"Sonia Satherley."

Sonya…

D.D in the queue was shocked when he heard this and whispered:

"What? So, that's the fortress."

Glover next to him gave him a hard bump:

"Shut up."

But even the zombie himself was staring at the woman.

In the astonishment of everyone in Star Lake Castle, veteran Gennard came from behind, excitedly took the reins of Sonia's mount, and embraced happily with other old colleagues of the Star Lake Corps.

"You said, your castle," Sonia stretched, ignoring the guards around her, and strode forward, "Your castle?"

Thales nodded happily and followed suit.
