When the Great Disaster struck, the entire Fitoa territory was affected, and the Boreas family was no exception.
After all, transfer magic cannot tell whether the other party is a commoner or a noble.
When the transfer disaster struck, Philip and Hilda were drinking afternoon tea in the Boreas mansion.
Philip was still thinking about whether, for his own ambition, it would be better to betroth his daughter Alice to Wood, or whether it would be better to betrothed to Rudy.
Because Hilda is also Alice's mother, Philip naturally wants to listen to Hilda's opinion as Alice's mother regarding her daughter's marriage.
Hilda has always been quite dissatisfied with her husband because Philip failed to compete for the head of the family and her children were taken away by the head of the family.
However, Hilda was indeed quite satisfied with Philip's approach when it came to Alice's marriage.
Paul and Senise may have been born into nobility before, but now they have given up their aristocratic status, which means that Wood and Rudy are now commoners.
As the most beloved granddaughter of Lord Saulos of Fitoya and the daughter of the city lord Philip, Alice's status is undoubtedly that of a wealthy lady.
According to normal circumstances, Alice's engagement partner could only be a noble of the same rank, and it would definitely not be someone like Wood or Rudy.
But this time, Philip was unusually tough, saying that he should make the decision on his daughter's marriage, and decided on two candidates, Wood and Rudy.
As for asking about his wife Hilda, Philip felt that he was asking too much.
Philip is optimistic about both Wood and Rudy, simply because their minds and talents are far beyond their peers.
But compared to Rudy, Hilda obviously liked Wood as her younger brother, which can be seen from the extremely careful care she took of the flower named "Morning Light".
For Hilda, she has always regretted that a child as warm-hearted, obedient and polite as Wood was not her own child.
But if Alice could become his wife, wouldn't this regret be completely made up for?
It was also while the two were discussing Alice's marriage that the great disaster struck...
At that time, Hilda was still pruning the branches and leaves of "Light of Morning" carefully, and Philip only had time to catch his wife who was still in a dazed state.
And when the two of them woke up after a period of coma, they found that they were no longer in the Boreas mansion, but in a wilderness.
Although he is the lord of a city, Philip's own strength is mediocre, he does not know magic, and even his swordsmanship is only slightly better than ordinary people.
As for Hilda, it goes without saying. Before marrying into the Boreas family, she was a noble lady, and then she continued to be a noble lady in the Boreas family.
There were neither maids nor guards to protect them, and now they were in an unfamiliar wilderness. This was quite dangerous for Philip and Hilda, who were already pampered.
The two of them didn't have much strength themselves, and they were wearing very expensive-looking clothes. It was obvious that they were quickly targeted by thieves and gangsters wandering outside.
When encountering this group of desperadoes, Philip actually tried to use his identity as the Lord of Loya City to threaten these people.
Unfortunately, Philip did not know that under the influence of transfer magic, they had been transported to the illegal area of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
Not to mention that these desperadoes have no idea where the Fitoya territory is, even if the prince of Asra Kingdom is here, they don't care at all.
Just when these thieves wanted to simply kill Philip and Hilda and plunder their belongings.
Hilda, who had always been timid in the past, now took the initiative to negotiate: "If you kill us here, you will only get some of our property, and you will also be charged with killing the nobles.
Why don't you take us back to a nearby town, I guarantee that with our status, you can get a considerable ransom."
"That's right, I am the heir to the Fitoa territory of the Kingdom of Asra.
Although I don’t know where this place is, as long as I write a letter home, someone from the family will definitely pay us a ransom.”
Philip was originally the Lord of Roja City and was extremely good at negotiating. At this moment, under his wife's reminder, he obviously reacted and tried to negotiate with these desperadoes.
"It's ridiculous. This is a war-torn place in the Holy Kingdom of Miris. It's of no use to a lord of the Kingdom of Asra.
Besides, if you say you are the heir to the lord, then you are the heir, why don’t you say you are a prince?”
For the exiled thieves, although Philip's proposal was very tempting, they were still hesitant.
On the one hand, this is the southern part of the Central Continent and is far away from the Kingdom of Asra. On the other hand, the thieves do not believe that Philip and the others are prominent nobles.
Regarding the questions raised by the thieves, Philip was extremely helpless because he and Hilda were at home before, so they wore relatively ordinary casual clothes and did not bring anything with them to prove their identity.
If they can prove that they are nobles, then these thieves may still be afraid. After all, killing nobles is a serious crime that will not be tolerated in any kingdom.
"Although the things we have on us are not enough to prove that we are nobles, the flowers in my hands should be enough to prove that even if we are not nobles, we are not short of money."
Seeing the desperadoes in front of them constantly approaching them, and planning to kill people and steal goods, the panicked Hilda looked at the flowers in her hands that exuded the light of morning light, and suddenly reacted and said.
They were obviously flowers, but the flowers emitted light on their own, which obviously attracted the attention of these thieves at this moment.
Among the thieves wandering around the war-torn land, there were obviously some knowledgeable people who recognized the magical flower in Hilda's hand.
"Boss, this flower is called 'Light of Morning'. I saw it before when I was a guard in a noble family.
It is said that this thing can only be found in deep forests where there are many monsters. Because monsters are often surrounded and the picking conditions are harsh, the price is very expensive.
Even for an ordinary nobleman, his family simply cannot afford such a thing.
To put it bluntly, just a handful of these in this girl's hands is equivalent to a month since our brothers opened the business."
After hearing his subordinate's explanation, the thief leader looked at the Dawn Light in Hilda's hand and couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "In addition to being pretty, is this piece of shit so valuable?"
Obviously, in the end, the lives of Philip and Hilda were temporarily saved.
Because the thieves believed that those who could be so corrupt and reward such expensive things, even if Hilda and others were not nobles, they were probably wealthy owners.
Facing such big fat sheep, it is indeed more cost-effective to extort a large ransom from them than to kill them directly.
