Chapter Forty-Four: The Invitation of the Duke of Pomegranate



"Otherwise, the people of Nanjun will think that the Duke is too poor to support you!"

Li Aili: "..." Has her skirt become related to the 'Southwest War'?

At lunchtime, the accompanying knights had already begun to line up and prepare for their meal.

All were dressed in dark mithril armor, adorned with black military banners, and accompanied by a ceremonial guard of 36 silver knights.

The newly formed Blue Agate Knights escort.

Even the royal family doesn't travel this extravagantly.

Sixteen black horses pulling a carriage galloped wildly.

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Li Aili asked, "The South, it must be very far from here. How many days would it take to travel there?"

The Duke still habitually used spare moments to handle official business.

He put down a parchment scroll. "It will take about four days. After arriving at the Cathedral of Light in Erie, you can use the church's teleportation portal to travel directly to the southern part of the kingdom."

Because it was a long journey, the carriage used spatial magic.

It has a bedroom, a bathroom, and everything else you need; it's like a magical RV.

The Duke picked up the new parchment scroll. "After reaching the south, it will be about four or five days' journey to Neuschwanstein Castle."

Li Aili was a little sleepy. "I'm going to take a nap."

Looking at the mountain of parchment documents beside the Duke, she said with pity, "Keep up the good work."

Li Aili lay on the soft bed in the inner room of the magical folding carriage, searching through the original owner's memories.

As far as she could remember, she seemed to have never met this Grand Duke from the south...

When Li Aili woke up, the carriage was still speeding along.

The Duke lay on the other side of the large bed with his eyes closed, which startled her so much that she sat up abruptly and grabbed a large pillow to use as a 'self-defense weapon'.

The man opened his eyes, slowly turned to the side, and quietly watched her 'performance' while supporting his head with one hand.

Li Aili: "...Why are you lying here?"

The Duke slowly and deliberately asked, "Then where do you think I should lie?"

You should lie under the car.

Li Aili politely reminded, "Isn't it inappropriate for us to lie down together given our relationship?"

The Duke nodded thoughtfully. "Therefore, I will generously let it go."

Li Aili: "..."

She had to hold back because she couldn't win.

The Duke dropped his joking tone and said casually, "When we get to Duke Red Pomegranate's castle, do you still want to sleep in separate rooms from me?"

Li Aili asked blankly, "Oh, is there a problem with that?"

The Duke chuckled softly, "Then, the next day, news of our discord will spread throughout the entire kingdom."

"On the third day, the Duke of Pomegranate will be able to put women in my room."

“Our contract clearly states that as long as our marriage is not dissolved, you have a responsibility and obligation to help me avoid this kind of trouble.”

Li Aili: "..."

The Duke watched with satisfaction as she looked on with utter disbelief. “So, my dear, I’m letting you get used to it beforehand, so you won’t get too excited and give yourself away.”

Li Aili: "…………"

After traveling day and night for four days, the Duke's caravan finally arrived in Erie.

When the city lord learned that Duke Cold Jade's knights were at the city gates, he was so frightened that he almost wet his pants.

You should know that Earl McWell, the last one to be besieged by the Cold Emerald Knights, is now so poor that he has to beg for food.
