Chapter 315: The Sickly Illegitimate Daughter Who Everyone Dislikes vs. the Elegant and Crazy Housekeeper (10)
The next day.
Lu Cha asked the maid to pack her luggage and prepare to go to the suburbs to meet up with Mia's team.
Although it only takes two days to travel from the South District to the Bright Empire, Rhodes gave Lu Cha a team of knights to protect her in order to show his respect for her.
Agusts did not show up because of what happened last night.
When Lu Cha walked out of the castle, he saw a European-style carriage that was even more luxurious and huge than the last time.
The only difference is that the windows are replaced with tinted glass, which provides more privacy than ordinary horse-drawn carriages.
A dozen fully armed knights were divided into two rows and waiting behind the carriage.
Xizel stood at the car door and stretched out his arm towards Lucha:
"Desserts and tea are ready."
"We will arrive at the suburbs in about an hour. Miss An can rest for a while."
Lu Cha hummed softly.
Seeing that there were no scars on Xizel's right hand, it was obvious that it had been healed with magic. Lu Cha took his arm and got on the carriage, asking knowingly:
"Why aren't you wearing the sapphire ring I gave you yesterday?"
Xizel smiled and explained:
"This is the first gift Miss An gave me. It means a lot. I want to treasure it."
Noticing that his gaze was evasive, Lu Cha curled her lips.
Little liar!
-
Not long after Lucha's team arrived at the outskirts of the southern district, a large group of people came over and stopped not far away.
A woman in a gorgeous dress walked down from the largest carriage. Her bright red hair made her skin look even whiter.
It was Count Karen's eldest daughter, Karen Mia.
She was accompanied by several other noble ladies who were traveling to the empire together, each holding an exquisite lace folding fan in her hand.
Lu Cha, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, had his eyes lit up.
Oh no!
A group of beautiful young ladies!
Compared to Lucha's happiness, Mia's beautiful eyes were burning with anger:
"You were the one who knocked my brother unconscious at Holy Light Hospital?!"
Lu Cha suddenly realized.
No wonder Agus was so abnormal yesterday. It turned out that he wanted Mia to teach her a lesson.
Lucha is usually very patient with young ladies:
"At that time, Master Karen was holding a knife and trying to kill someone. He even used the dangerous fireball technique, so I knocked him out."
"You hurt my brother, it's your fault!"
Mia didn't listen to Lu Cha's explanation at all and acted rudely.
Not only did he rely on his noble status, but also because Lu Cha's black hair and black eyes symbolized humbleness in the Bright Continent.
"However." Mia's tone suddenly paused, and she glanced at Lu Cha:
"As long as you kneel down now and kowtow to repent for your mistakes, I can consider not pursuing this matter."
Master Agus said that she could humiliate the illegitimate daughter to her heart's content.
Otherwise, why would she agree to travel with such a person?
Seeing that Lu Cha had no intention of moving, Mia's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "I think you are not willing to accept my toast and will be punished!"
"Drag her out of the carriage!"
Mia called her knight and was about to force Lucha to do as she asked when suddenly a brilliant golden light enveloped Mia and the others.
It was as if an invisible rope tightly bound their bodies, making them unable to move.
And in the center of the light.
A sharp sword condensed from the golden light element hovered in front of Mia.
The tip of the sword was pointed at her throat.
Mia unconsciously held her breath, fearing that if she relaxed, she would be stabbed by the lightsaber.
"You're so noisy."
Lu Cha yawned lazily and glanced at the people who were afraid to speak and were frightened.
Finally, the focus returned to Mia:
"I am the daughter of Duke Rhodes and a magician of light. When you see me, you must salute according to the rules."
"Is this the Karen family's tutor?"
"You're yelling and shouting indiscriminately, and you're trying to use force to coerce people?"
Mia subconsciously wanted to retort, but when she caught a glimpse of the lightsaber in front of her, she pursed her lips in anger.
Master Argus never told her that this illegitimate daughter had light magic!
Fortunately, An Lucha has not yet been recognized by the temple and is not an official magician of light.
Otherwise, given her previous attitude, she would definitely be caught by the temple and her father would be implicated.
After all, people on the continent, regardless of their status, must respect the Light Magician.
But when Mia thought about having to pay her respects to an illegitimate daughter who represented bad luck and death, she felt extremely upset, but she had to do it.
After making sure the lightsaber didn't move forward, Mia cautiously took a half step back, bent her knees, nodded, and lifted her skirt:
"Karen Mia, nice to meet Miss An Lucha."
Lu Cha waved his hand perfunctorily, signaling Mia to stand up, and at the same time dispersed the light element.
Everyone returned to normal, and their moods were somewhat complicated.
How did Miss Anlucha manage to use magic without chanting?
Lu Cha ignored people's inquiring gazes, put his arm around Xizel's shoulder, and walked back into the carriage from the wooden board in front of the carriage.
"I'm going to take a nap. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"Okay." César gently closed the car door, his eyes full of amusement.
Miss An's growth rate was much faster than he expected.
In fact, her talent for light magic is almost the same as that of the hypocritical God of Light.
A strange light shone in Xizel's deep blue eyes.
He was a little excited that the God of Light had awakened.
Mia reluctantly took the noble lady and the knight back to the carriage in the team.
"Sister Mia, An Lucha is a light magician. Will she use the temple to retaliate against us?"
A timid noble lady asked nervously.
"What are you afraid of?! Even the temple doesn't know she exists!"
Mia glared at the noble lady angrily and threw the lace folding fan hard on the floor of the carriage.
In her entire life, she had never felt as aggrieved as she did today!
Isn’t An Lucha going to run for the Saint position?
Then she would make sure that this lowly illegitimate daughter would never be able to enter the empire!
-
Because they didn't want to be outshined by Lu Cha, Mia's team always walked in the front.
It was getting close to evening.
The two teams arrived outside a canyon.
The two sides of the canyon are steep, forming a V shape.
The valley is dark and deep, and nothing can be seen clearly, which makes people feel inexplicably depressed and panicked.
Noticing the carriage had stopped, Mia pushed open the window impatiently and asked the knight, "Why did it stop?"
"Miss, there is a dark canyon ahead. There are many dangerous monsters. It is not advisable to cross it at night. We must wait until daybreak before setting off."
"And we have to retreat to a safe place to prevent a surprise attack from the monsters..."
Mia, who didn't want to ride in the carriage any longer, interrupted the knight and said, "Just rest where you are."
"I brought so much powder to repel monsters, what are you worried about?"
Knowing Mia's bad temper, the knight had no choice but to obey the order.
Meanwhile, in the rear.
Lucha, who had been sleeping the entire journey, got out of the carriage with sleepy eyes and only then noticed that it was César who was driving the carriage.
"Why are you driving?"
"I was afraid the groom might get unsteady and wake you, so I asked him to ride behind and I'll drive."
Lu Cha was slightly surprised.
The little villain can do a lot.
I watched as César took out a palm-sized bottle and sprinkled the powder inside on the ground around the carriage.
Mia's men also sprinkled animal-repellent powder near the team.
Lucha blinked: "Why is the color of our powder different from Mia's?"
Xizel paused, and the smile on his lips turned helpless:
"The powder Miss Mia uses is the most effective."
"And our animal repellent powder was given to us by Master Agus. It's the lowest quality."
"The temperature here is low, Miss An, please be careful not to catch a cold." Xizel naturally changed the subject, took out a cloak and put it on Lu Cha.
And put the special kettle into her hand:
"This is hot milk."
Lu Cha always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Then, a quarrel sounded from afar.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?!"
