When Livia arrived, Caius was already waiting against the wall at the door of the hotel.
Today he was different from the last time Livia saw him in the hotel room. He was wearing full armor and dressed like a proper knight. The sword at his waist made Livia take a few more glances. It was not because it was so good, because it was not a magic item or the system showed that Livia could not tell whether it was good or not, but the rubies inlaid on it and the patterns engraved on the hilt were so eye-catching.
Seeing this, Livia slowed down and walked slowly to the opposite side of him.
"Are you ready?"
Caius asked while crossing his arms as he looked at Livia approaching.
"Um."
Livia nodded. In fact, he didn't need to prepare anything else. Not to mention that he had already prepared the basic things when he left Kovag, and now he didn't have enough money to prepare anything good, so it was better to just leave it like this.
"Okay then, let's go."
Caius put his hand down on the hilt of the sword and walked past him towards the inner city gate. Livia turned around and waited for a moment, then followed him two steps behind.
The inner city gate was very deserted in the early morning, with few people coming in and out.
"Stop, please show your ID!"
The guards in front of the inner city gate crossed their halberds and stopped Livia and the other man.
Livia stood aside and watched quietly. Caius glanced at the two guards who were blocking him with their halberds raised, then took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to them.
The guard on the right slowly put away his halberd and leaned it against his shoulder. He took the rolled parchment with his right hand and opened it carefully. He looked at it carefully for a few times to confirm it, nodded and handed the parchment back.
"No problem, Sir Knight, you may go in."
It looks like a certificate of title.
Livia, who was watching from the side, guessed silently in her heart.
Caius took the parchment expressionlessly, rolled it up again and put it back in his arms. The other guard in front of him also put away his halberd.
Caius continued to move forward in silence, and Livia followed closely, ping!
As Caius walked past, the two guards at the gate stretched out their halberds again to stop Livia.
"Um?"
Livia narrowed her eyes at the two guards who stopped her.
"Please show me your identification."
The guard on the right repeated what he had just said somewhat mechanically.
Tsk, this is really troublesome. I don’t know if Kovag’s identity certificate can be used.
Livia frowned and thought.
At this time, Caius, who had already walked over, turned around and took a quick look at Livia's face and understood.
"We are here to do something for Viscount Natalia Luz Kinlaska Rambardia. Are you responsible if we delay things?"
Caius's face suddenly darkened and he spoke sternly to the guard.
"Uh..." Hearing his words, the two guards turned around and looked at him, then looked at each other hesitantly.
It seems that they also know about the female duke hiring people. But think about it, since she is hiring people, the news will definitely be leaked to a certain extent, otherwise how can she hire people.
"Are you worried that a knight with a title like me would bring people to the inner city to cause trouble?"
Seeing that the guard was still hesitating, Caius spoke again, his tone seeming to be somewhat dissatisfied.
"No, no."
Upon hearing this, the two guards hurriedly withdrew the halberds that were blocking Livia and made way to both sides.
Caius quickly winked at Livia, who nodded slightly and walked inside, past the guards.
After a while, the two arrived at the streets of the inner city.
"My knighthood does not belong to this territory, and it is a lost lord. It is of little use here."
Caius, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke in a low voice, his tone sounding somewhat lonely and sad.
Livia followed behind silently, he didn't say anything. It was difficult for him to comfort her in this kind of situation. After all, they had only known each other for a few days. Silence was the best way to deal with it.
"You don't have any identification?"
They walked in silence for a few more minutes before Caius spoke again, only this time he changed the subject and asked him about something else.
“…
I have some trouble with my certificate..." Livia said after a moment of silence, glancing at the surrounding streets from the corner of her eye. It seemed that the inner city was actually no different from the outer city. At most, the buildings on both sides of the street looked better and more gorgeous, probably because they were made of better materials and workmanship.
"oh?
Are you some big shot?"
Caius, who was walking in front, asked curiously.
"That's not the case. It's because the place where the ID cards are issued has been a bit chaotic lately."
Hearing this, Caius guessed something. This kind of thing is very common in today's world. When a territory changes its lord, or is destroyed, the previous identity proof will lose most of its effectiveness.
The two of them didn't say anything else and walked along the street in silence.
After a while, the road became wider and wider, there were fewer and fewer buildings on both sides, and even farmland and some houses with yards appeared.
It looks just like a village, except that the houses are nicer.
Livia thought as she looked around.
"Okay, we're almost there. Just do what I say and do what I do."
Caius paused and spoke softly.
"Um."
After walking a little further, we saw manor-like buildings gradually appearing on both sides of the road.
"arrive."
Caius said as they stopped at the gate of a large manor.
Livia looked up at the manor in front of her, which had a modern British style from her previous life, and for a moment she thought she had traveled back in time.
"As expected, no matter which world, there are always similarities in aesthetics."
He murmured softly as he looked at the manor in front of him.
"Um?
What are you talking about?
Caius heard his very low murmur behind him and turned around in confusion and asked.
"nothing."
Hearing his question, Livia retracted her gaze from the manor and said with a smile.
Caius looked at him with some confusion, then turned around and saw an old man dressed as a butler walking out of the manor's big iron gate.
"By the way, it seems that the nobles in this world like to use older people as butlers."
Livia secretly complained in her heart as she watched the old butler coming out of the manor.
"Knight Caius, you are welcome, but...
It seems that it is still quite early for our agreed time.”
The old butler came over, opened the gate of the manor, bowed to Caius first, then looked at him and said, as if he was a little puzzled that he came so early.
"Sorry, I brought someone else with me, so I wanted to come over and say hello first."
Caius nodded slightly to express his apology, then moved a step to the left to let Livia behind him pass.
Livia also imitated Caius and nodded slightly to the old butler in front of her.
