Chapter 257 Escape

At noon the next day, Claudia left the hotel alone. François was worried and hurriedly put on his coat and followed her out.

The girl walked down the streets of the town with her head down, her short hair drooped down and her face covered half of her face. A piece of annoying stone was kicked away by her leather shoes, and she was spinning and jumping on the road.

Suddenly a small water shield rose from the ground. After the stone drilled into the water shield, the water shield condensed into ice, and the stone was embedded on the ice and stopped moving.

"Yeah, is the little beauty angry?" A slutty voice came from the side.

"No!"

"Then why don't you turn around to see me?"

"The famous second prince, the little girl dare not scare you."

"Claudia, don't be angry, okay, listen to mine. I know you want to go with your friends, but it's not safe. You forgot to come out this time, your father told you to listen to me in everything."

"Yes, I listened to you. I had already told Jacques yesterday, so I definitely didn't go along with them. I just came out to relax, and... and I don't like the scene of separation, I really don't like it."

"Hey, that's right, it may be difficult to meet them this time."

“Um…”

"If...if we parted, would you..."

...

In the grocery store opposite the hotel, Swindon's legs were placed on a table, leaned against a chair, covered with a hat on his face, and was resting with his eyes closed.

"Boss! They come out! Boss..."

"Speak softly, you're afraid they won't hear it!"

Swinton immediately sat up, leaned against the grocery store window and slowly looked out, and happened to see Marian wearing a wide-brimmed hat and hunting outfit coming out of the hotel door.

Jacques and Fabian came out of the backyard with seven horses, took the girls' bags and tied them one by one on the horse's back.

"The hotel owner said that Claudia and Fran had just left, maybe they were going to have lunch. Don't we say goodbye to them before leaving?" Lily said.

Jacques shook his head, "Forget it, Claudia probably doesn't want to say goodbye to us. I've said goodbye to them in the morning, so let's go by ourselves."

Seven people rode on horseback and quickly left Orange Town.

The target left, and the conscientious detective Swinton followed one of his subordinates far behind, and the other one went to inform the mayor.

Claudia and François were indeed having lunch. The second prince tried his best to finally make the tantrum Claudia feel relieved, so they ate under the table in the small restaurant on the street.

There are many people having lunch in a small restaurant, and the seats in the house are already full. The restaurant owner enthusiastically raised a folding table and two small stools on the street, asking them what they wanted to eat with a smile on their faces.

Claudia raised her neck provocatively and looked at François, "Do you dare to try it? Food for civilians."

François pulled out the stool and sat down, "Haha, I lived outside when I was in the college. These are all small things. When I returned to the imperial capital, I will take you to Chuanhutong for delicious food."

The two sat down, ordered a few small shop owners, and had a quiet meal.

A group of dusty knights came from the other end of the street. One of the two leaders covered with iron armor, and the other one was dressed in a typical gentleman. The horse was very slow, which dragged the entire cavalry team slowly.

François glanced at such a group of people at the corner of his eyes. He immediately turned his face and pulled his hat down. He walked around Claudia's slender neck with his other hand, turned her head towards him, blocked her face with his brim, and said softly: "Don't move, don't let those people see it."

Claudia, who turned her head, also saw the team of knights and asked in confusion: "Your people?"

"Definitely not. I asked the post office yesterday that my letter will only arrive in York City tomorrow, and my people will arrive here tomorrow night as soon as possible. I am worried that the wreckage of the airship will be exposed."

"They won't chase after you so soon, are they?"

"Be careful, don't talk, they are here..."

“Um…”

François blocked Claudia's little mouth with his mouth. Claudia waved his hands in a panic and immediately hugged his strong body.

The knight wearing armor and only exposed his eyes, turned his head and looked at the couple sitting on the roadside kissing diagonally in front of him. His eyes stayed for two seconds, identified the woman's short golden hair, turned back in disappointment and said to the fat man beside him: "Mr. Mayor, are you sure the men and women in the hotel are them?"

The fat man said, "I'm sure, my son has seen that woman at the event."

"That's good, it's better not to make a mistake."

"I arranged for people to monitor them at the hotel entrance, but they couldn't escape."

François, who was kissing, was shocked when he heard their conversation, and his tongue in his mouth became dull and tasteless.

Could it be that someone recognized Claudia?

The mayor of the empire actually colluded with the Stuarts and colluded. There was indeed no good person in the New World!

The wilderness is full of troublemakers!

As soon as the cavalry team walked past, François pulled Claudia and entered the alley between the two houses on the street, and looked out vigilantly to observe the whereabouts of the team of knights.

It's indeed towards the hotel!

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, François found a young man waving his hand to run towards the riding team. He seemed to have seen this person. Yes, when he left the hotel just now, the young man was squatting at the door of the hotel smoking, staring at Claudia with that kind of gaze.

After the young man said a few words to the fat man, the entire riding team suddenly accelerated and ran on the street, leaving only the fat man riding a horse and the helpless young man.

François turned around and said to Claudia, who was blushing, "They were coming for us, and the man was monitoring us at the entrance of the hotel."

"What should I do now? Ah! Jacques and the others are still in the hotel, right? We must notify them!" Claudia acted and wanted to leave.

"No!" François grabbed her, "It's too late, they probably left too. What's more important now is how to escape."

"But……"

François pulled Claudia to flee in the opposite direction of the hotel. The two of them stayed in the hotel only a few pieces of clothing, and the silver coins and money tickets supported by Marian were carried by Fran.

After purchasing two horses, the two hurriedly left the town.

Initially, François led the road westward, and then turned sharply south.

"Why not go to York City?" Claudia asked.
