Chapter 597: I will give you an honorable and difficult task

Hearing the Queen’s words, Madeleine couldn’t help but frown. Indeed, this was unusual. How could a princess escape from the pirate ship for no reason? There might be a big plot, which made the queen vigilant.

She had once suffered the loss of being betrayed. Except for her subordinates and Madeleine, she didn’t believe anyone else. In such a case, if she sent her subordinates to deal with it, it would be inconvenient to deal with it because their identities were not equal to that of the princess. But Madeleine was no problem. As a Duke, it was absolutely enough for her to communicate with a princess.

Madeleine said pitifully, “Elizabeth, after hearing what you said, I also think I’m the best choice, but… Look at me…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it for you,” said the queen. “Rotate your crystal ball and let me see Robb Smith.”

Madeleine did as what she said. The crystal ball circled around, and then Robb appeared in front of the queen. This time, Madeleine could only see her image.

With his current identity, Robb couldn’t talk to her like Godfather, so he had to use the standard noble etiquette. “Your Majesty, what can I do for you?”

The queen said expressionlessly, “Robb Smith, Baron…”

She stressed the two words “Baron” and then prolonged the tone. Of course, she wanted Robb to understand why she called him “Baron” here.

Robb immediately understood. By mentioning his title, she implied that you were a minister of the Kingdom of Gran and should follow the orders of the queen. Otherwise, you would be returned to a civilian in minutes.

The queen said, “now the queen has an honorable and difficult task for you to do. Duke Madeleine is ordered to go to Lost City to solve the problem of the princess of Big Tang. However, she doesn’t have enough people around her. The Black Earth Knights have returned to Bright Road, and she only has five Black Earth Knights by her side, which is not enough to guarantee her safety. I want you to go with her. Be her guard, and make sure she can come back safely.”

Robb cursed in his heart, [this task is too far fetched, isn’t it?]

Of course, even though he thought so, he couldn’t say anything. He had no choice but to put one hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly. “Yes, your majesty. Robb Smith, a wind magician, is willing to work for the queen. He will try his best to ensure the safety of the duke.”

The queen clapped her hands and said, “well, Madeleine, the problem is solved. You don’t have to take a vacation.”

Madeleine shrugged helplessly and turned to Robb, “I’m sorry. Thank you.”

It was really tiring and boring. In the past, Robb often received similar tasks in Dark Blade, which were to protect an NPC to a certain place. This kind of task was very troublesome, because the NPC always walked slowly, and their HP are low, so If they were not careful enough, they would be killed by the enemy, and the task would fail.

Damn it!

However, if the NPC task was replaced by the lovely Madeleine, the disgusting degree of this task would instantly disappear and become not so difficult to accept. What’s more, it was said that the target of the meeting was the princess of Big Tang, which aroused Robb’s great interest.

It had been two years since he came to this world. Robb had never come into contact with anything related to “home” except for some things he made use of “science” to recall his hometown. However, the word “Tang” makes him feel “home”. (TL: The Tang Dynasty)

I really want to see her!

The Eastern people in this world!

Madeleine said to the crystal ball, “Elizabeth, when I arrive at Stone Canyon, I’ll hurry to Lost City.”

“It won’t be fast enough,” the queen said. “The nobles in Lost City were almost fooled around by that rabbit princess, so you must hurry up as soon as possible. I’ve sent the air force to arrive at Stone Canyon with the manticores. After you get off the train, just wait for a while, the manticore knights will come. You can directly fly to Lost CIty.”

The manticore’s flying speed could reach one hundred and eighty kilometers per hour, much faster than Robb’s steam train. The only drawback was that its gravity was very bad, and a heavily armored knight was too heavy for it.

“Got it!”

After hanging up the phone, the train had driven for more than half a way. It didn’t take long for it to arrive at Stone Canyon.

Robb and Madeleine got out of the train, followed by five Black Knights.

Madeleine said, “let’s go shopping before the manticores arrive.”

“Okay!” Robb smiled and accompanied her. The two of them strolled around, looking at the beautiful Stone Canyon.

Madeleine was very happy. “It’s so beautiful here. It’s great, but I always feel that something is missing.”

“What’s missing?” Robb asked.

“What’s missing?” Madeleine didn’t remember for a while. After a long time, when the two of them walked near the chapel, Madeleine suddenly woke up. “Eh? The leader’s house? This is your territory. Why isn’t there your mansion? There isn’t even a castle or manor.”

Robb was speechless

He really forgot it!

Even if he pretended, he had to build a leader’s mansion here for himself. Otherwise, he would expose it sooner or later.

Right, Madeleine was really strange. No one else had thought of this. How could she think of it so easily? All of a sudden, Robb’s head was awakened. RIght, she was considering where to live if she married him

Robb had no choice but to say, “about the mansion, here is the thing. I used to live in Westwind Town, learning wind magic from Godfather. I didn’t move to Stone Canyon in a hurry, so I didn’t live here. Besides, when I saw cement, I didn’t want to build a shabby stone house. I wanted to build a beautiful big mansion with cement, so there was no hurry. When I am free, I would build a beautiful cement house.”

“I heard that cement houses are very expensive,” said Madeleine.

“It seems to be a little expensive.”

“Well… If you don’t have enough money,” Madeleine blushed and said, “I can give you… No, I can lend you some.”

She wanted to say something, but when she thought of the man’s pride and that he might not be willing to use the money of a women, she quickly changed it to lend. In this way, she considered the man’s pride. As long as she did not ask for it, the other party did not need to pay it back. How wonderful it was.
