Chapter 57 Invitation

 "Good man, your fiancé is really a good man, Lucia. Although at the beginning, he thought he was a pervert, but now it seems that he may be a pretty good pervert."

Legexile blossomed, and things developed more smoothly than he imagined.

In the double act between himself and Lucia, Prince Bachin finally agreed to help lend money to Heimburg to pay taxes.

"Hmph, remember this. You owe me this. Please be more respectful to me in the future. Do you hear me?"

Judging from Lucia's smug look, she doesn't seem to feel any guilt for cheating on her fiancé.

But it's no wonder, Legoshi told her before that the more souls he collects, the faster he can complete the contract and help her resurrect from the dead and become a human again.

After knowing this, Lucia volunteered to participate in this plan.

She even proposed that if the plan failed and Prince Baqin wanted to forcibly collect the blood tax and take the people away, she would turn into a wild hunt again in the middle of the night and kill all the conscripted people before they left.

In short, it doesn’t matter whether people live or die, but they must stay in Heimburg.

Of course, Legoshi would not do this kind of thing of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs.

Let Heimburg develop and attract more people to make it easier for him to collect souls.

"Finally it's okay...just now...it really tickled me to death."

"There is no way, you can't let your fiancé see your true self."

"Then you have to be gentle and don't hurt me like before."

Lucia is talking about her neck problem. As a headless horseman, the joints of her neck seem to be cursed and cannot be glued together no matter what she uses.

Even if Legoshi used a needle and thread to sew up the fracture, the negative energy aura emitted by Lucia would automatically corrode the sutures, requiring Legoshi to sew it up again every half a day.

Outside Legosi's room, a little black cat put its ears against the door, looking shy and uneasy.

"Prince Bachin is so pitiful, he doesn't know that Legoshi and Lucia have..."

"Huh? Did someone call my name just now?"

"Meow!"

Hearing the footsteps and cheerful voice coming from behind, Takari was so frightened that she jumped up with a scream and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

When Legoshi in the room heard the noise, he immediately covered Lucia with a quilt, which had her head sewn in half.

"Who's out there?"

"It's me, the son of the Beast King, Bachin Zid."

Hearing Bachin's voice, Legsi's heart sank, and he carefully opened the door a crack.

I saw Baqin, half of his face still swollen, standing outside the door with a smile.

"Sorry, Prince Bachin, I'm a little busy now. Can you please go to the living room and wait for a moment..."

Bachin saw the human figure wrapped in quilt on Legosi's bed through the crack in the door. At the same time, his nose twitched as if he smelled something, and he immediately showed a meaningful smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have disturbed the lord...but there's no need to go to the living room, I'm just here to say goodbye to you."

Legosi was overjoyed. It was a good thing to send this boy away early to prevent him from discovering Lucia's secret.

"Farewell? Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay here for a few more days?"

Of course, Legosi still tried his best to express regret on his face.

"You're welcome. After all, I still have a mission. Besides Heimburg, I have to go to other places to collect taxes."

Prince Bachin said with a wry smile.

"And I also need to raise funds to auction off some useless things at home. I hope my mother won't be angry because of this."

It seems that even if you are a prince, you don’t have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it.

"Miss Lucia will be very happy to know that you did this for her."

But Legoshi is already thinking about how to get Lucia to squeeze more money out of this kid. After all, even if he avoids paying taxes, Heimburg's problem of lack of money and food has still not been solved.

"I hope so... I haven't been able to find Lucia. It's probably because what I said before hurt her heart, so she keeps avoiding me."

Bachin sighed softly and said with great emotion.

"Lucia is always like this. Although she looks cold and hard on the outside, she is soft and kind on the inside..."

Ah, do you and I know the same Lucia?

Legoshi became curious, saying that he was still very interested in Lucia's past.

"One more question, Prince Bachin, have you and Lucia known each other for a long time?"

"Of course. When I was a child, I was always bullied by my other siblings because of my bloodline and appearance. It was Lucia who was my mother's bodyguard at the time—"

Ba Qin showed a nostalgic expression on his face, but at this moment the human figure wrapped in Legoxi's bed moved slightly.

"It's a long story. Let's talk about it later when we have the chance. I won't disturb your happy time, Lord... By the way, can you do me a favor?"

Baqin blinked and showed a smile that all men knew. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he grabbed it in the air, and a roll of parchment appeared in his hand.

"Next month there will be a competition held in Black Mountain Castle next door. I have a lot of invitations, so I plan to invite Lucia to go shopping together."

Legosi took it and took a look and found that it was an invitation letter.

"I will transfer it to her for you, but it depends on her own choice whether she will go or not..."

To be honest, Legoshi wanted to bring them together. After all, this rich husband might be able to help in some way in the future, but it was fundamentally impossible to let Lucia go on a date with Bachin alone.

After all, Lucia is the undead creature she contracted with, so she cannot leave him too far away. Moreover, if Lucia leaves the territory, the other undead soldiers here will also be unable to move.

But at this moment, Legosi saw clearly what was on the poster, and his pupils shrank instantly.

"I understand, I will convince Lucia to go."

After hearing Legosi's answer, Bachin bowed with satisfaction and left. After Legosi closed the door and locked it, his expression became solemn.

"Legosi, wouldn't it be too much for us to lie to him like this?"

Lucia opened the quilt and rolled her head in front of him on the bed, her expression looking a little lonely.

"His feelings for me should be real, maybe I should keep a little distance from him..."

"No matter who he is, you must go to this competition -"

Legoshi handed the invitation letter to Lucia with a serious expression.

"And I'll go with you, too."

"What? This is too dangerous, you know..."

"Because this is the best hope for you and me to become human again."

Legosi looked at the line of text at the bottom of the invitation.

[This Black Mountain Athletic Conference will be jointly hosted by the Ork Kingdom and the Holy Tarquin Empire.]
