() The reason why Prince Leona decided to leave the kingdom was because he was worried that his reputation in the royal city would be too high. If the third prince's reputation was above the crown prince, it would definitely plant the root of disaster for the future.

The clever Prince Leona knew that he was likely to bring disaster to the Kingdom of Kano, so he left his motherland.

Kasson felt very sorry for his identity as a third prince, and at the same time felt a little sad that he did not take him with him.

Therefore, Kasson refused to serve as the escort of the crown prince, and came to this border village as if he was about to escape from the royal city to serve as the lord.

It has been ten years since then.

"what's on your mind?"

The female lord asked in confusion. Kasson shook his head and threw this thought behind his head, as if he was afraid that others would read out his own thoughts.

"Nothing. What's wrong with asking me to come this time?"

When the female lord heard this, his expression darkened, and then he raised his chest and walked to Kasson as if he was about to regain his majesty.

"Because the tax revenue in this village is much less than that in other places, the above orders to double the tax revenue this year."

"asshole!"

Kasson forgot his position and scolded loudly.

The female lord just frowned and did not mean to blame him.

"This is an order."

She just repeated this.

"Now we have almost all the crops on it, how can we double the price!"

"I know this."

The female lord tried to calm the excited Kasson in a gentle tone.

"The current taxes are a huge burden to the villagers. In fact, other lords are more cruel to squeeze their people in order to make the Council pay attention to them or to enrich their personal pockets."

"Since you know, why not talk to the Council?"

"I said it. But the Council was indifferent and said that I would deprive me of my lord status. The lord who wanted to replace me seemed to have been sent by the Council, and I should have come here soon..."

Kasson's expression calmed down a little when he heard this.

Seeing the change in his expression, the female lord breathed a little relieved.

"But there is room for this order to be turned back."

“Turn back?”

"That's right. Recently, there seems to be a group of bandits nearby that only attacked Mamo merchants and soldiers. They claim to be the Kanozi you army. As long as they can successfully attack them, they can cancel my removal order and the order to double taxes.

.”

Then the female lord asked Kasson what to do.

"Do you mean I'll help you?"

The female lord nodded.

Kasson also heard rumors that bandits claimed to be the Kano-zi you army. They always attacked and killed Mamo's soldiers and robbed the materials and property they carried.

This is a thorn in the eyes for Mamo, and it also bothers Kasson and the villagers.

Because the supplies they took away would eventually be returned from the people of Kano.

"What kind of person is the new lord?"

"The subordinates of the Grand Priest Hudilu, probably also the Dark Priest, serve the great Dark God Ferraris."

Kasson's face gradually pales. This is the worst situation. Law and morality are not universal to believers of this dark god. They will only be faithful to their own wishes.

Just thinking about the consequences of such a person as a lord would be terrifying.

"It seems that there is no choice..."

Kasson decided to help the female lord fight against the bandits together. Although he didn't want to do it, he had to avoid the Dark God Priest coming to this village no matter what.

"Did you help me because of the village..."

Shana sighed and sat on the chair, her slightly lonely eyes staring at Kasson.

"This is also impossible. I am the knight of Kano and I must obey the king's orders..."

"I am also Mamo's knight!" The female lord shouted as he wanted to interrupt Kasson's words.

"But I'm a woman too..."

The female lord Shana said this and stared into Kasson's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, she had already pounced on Kasson's chest, and Kasson caught her steadily.

Shana's cheeks were pressed against the metal bracelet. Her face was filled with relief and distress.

"Shana..."

Kasson whispered a little sadly, putting her hands on her shoulders. Although she is relatively strong among women, her shoulders still seem so weak. In an instant, Kasson's heart surged violently

The whirlpool of emotions was almost undepressed.

I don't know when he fell in love with this female knight of Mamo.

When she came here as a lord three years ago, they were just a relationship between the dominant and the dominant. But as young as she was always hoping to be a good lord, except for honestly admitting that she was not experienced enough

In addition, I was also disappointed in learning from Kasson what he should do and experience as a lord.

For the future of this village, Kasson taught her various knowledge without reservation and discussed with her various problems she faced.

The two were alone for longer and longer, and they fell in love without realizing it.

They all knew that this road would be very difficult, but they could not suppress the feelings that had already taken root in their hearts.

Kasson pulled back his trembling hands that were placed on the female lord with force.

“…When will we fight against the bandits?”

Kasson asked Shana as he suppressed his feelings.

Shana's eyes became moist in an instant, but immediately returned to the expression that the female lord should have.

"In three days, I plan to ask nearby villages to support us."

Shana slowly turned around to face the window and ordered Kasson to leave the room.

Kasson bowed behind her and then left the lord's room.

In the valley, I always feel that the sky is getting darker quickly. Although the sky above my head is still slightly bright, the mountain path that Bill is walking on is already a little dim.

It has been more than two weeks since they left Adam. They walked south first and then went east along the mountain road, heading towards Kano as their destination, and two days ago they had already crossed the highest mountain.

This nearby is a mountainous area called Nazar, which is exactly the natural border between Wallis and Kano. Therefore, you should enter Kano after walking down the mountain. The slope that was still very steep until yesterday

Now it has become much easier to walk, and everyone feels that they will arrive at a popular place soon.

But this also means that they have entered Mamo's sphere of influence and must act carefully from now on.

If they encounter Ma Mo's patrol troops, they plan to pretend to join Ma Mo's army voluntarily.

Although it doesn't work if you encounter an enemy who knows you, the probability should be very small.

After the battle of Adam, the retreating Mamo army was led by Ashuram and fled to a fortress connecting Adam and Kano's capital.

Therefore, they decided to work hard to cross mountains and hills. Bill and his friends came to Kano not to fight, but to confirm the current situation. If they do not pay attention to the danger, they will easily die in this place.

Even Mamo doesn’t want to spend much effort to manage the southwest Kano, so it can be said to be a border area.

"It's time to prepare to camp."

Seeing a small plain appearing by the river next to the mountain road, Bill said to everyone.

Everyone made a voice in favor, it seemed that they had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

However, although it was camping, it was not really a tent. They just found appropriate places to lay cloaks and then covered them with a thin quilt to sleep.

Winter is coming, and it will probably be very cold at night. Bill thought it would be better not to let the campfires go out, anyway, there is no danger of wild wolves or bears attacking this season.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated to prepare for camping. Some people started to pick up dead branches, some people were preparing to start a group, and Bill decided to patrol around the camp first.

Tidlit immediately followed after discovering his actions.

Bill and her quickly walked down the hillside side by side. After walking for a while, it should be flat ground, there would be villages there, and there would be Mamo soldiers who would stay there.

They were a little thinking about replenishing some food in the village, but it would be better not to take this risk.

However, if you don’t contact the villagers, you will have no way to know Kano’s current situation, so Bill felt very conflicted.

"There is nothing to do if you are upset."

Seeing the distressed Bill, Tidlit said softly to him.

Bill nodded.

"Well. Although I have reached this point, I am still a little sorry for them when I think of Slide being involved in so many things because of my will..."

"You are really sorry to Slien. He should really hope that you will be the king of Yarania, but you don't want to come forward, right?"
