Since they were already at the situation, Leo could only helplessly carry the woman in a bridal way as he slowly put her on the top of his horse. They only have four horse at the moment, so he could only put the woman in his horse. He followed soon after aw he rode the horse before he quickly position the woman in front of him.
”In this way, no one would suspect that I'm carrying the Princess of the Crimson Rose Kingdom.” Leo said trying to comfort himself to calm his panic nerves.
Everyone that would looked at them at this moment will only think that Leo was just putting his woman in front of him to protect her easily.
”But, Young Master, you're putting yourself in danger!” Butler Xiao immediately persuaded Leo.
”Then do you expect me to just leave her out in the woods?” Leo replied in annoyance, ”She's also wounded!” He quickly added.
Butler Xiao was left speechless. Of course he knew that his Young Master was a kind man, but he should still know when to be kind or not, right?
Although his reply was like some kind Noble, Leo's thoughts, however, were actually, 'Do you really think I don't know that I'm practically bringing a ticking time bomb with me! Dammit! How the heck am I so unfortunate to get myself into this situation?!'
”Let's just go to the Silver city! Let's just face the problem the moment it comes in our way.” Leo said before urging his horse to move towards Silver city while feeling helpless deep inside.
”Hayssttt...” Butler Xiao and Fatty Ben said in unison as the two of them were feeling helpless, too. But they can't help but just follow it since it was the command of their Young Master, afterall.
”You, return to the Heart city and report to Head Guard Kevin what had happened here, and tell him to prepare some men in case of any emergency. And also, just pretend that this thing didn't happen after completing your mission.” Fatty Ben turned around and ordered the scout while wearing a solemn face.
The scout nodded, understanding how complicated the current situation was. He immediately rushed back towards the Heart city on his horse.
'Since the Young master wants to save the princess, then we just need to prepare for the worst-case scenario as his loyal subordinates! Moreover, our Young Master is already 18 years old, but he has not bought or touch a woman yet.' Fatty Ben though within his mind before urging his horse to follow behind Leo.
.....
Arriving near the Silver city South gate, Leo can't help but to gulped a mouthful of saliva due to the nervousness he was currently feeling deep inside.
Well, who would not, right? Any time the ticking time bomb that Leo was currently carrying might just suddenly explode and cause them endless trouble. But still, he also thought that he can't just abandoned a person in the woods with how kind he was, especially a devilishly beautiful woman, his man's instincts also told him to go and save the woman.
Also, Leo was really curious why the Princess of the Crimson Rose Kingdom was injured and was then left into the woods unconscious. With her status as a princess, no one would ever thought of running away with no deeper reason behind it, right?
There might be something deeper, and Leo's mind was telling himself right now to know it so he can prepare for any possible danger. Though, he still need to solve his current predicament before entertaining other problems.
”Ahhhh! I should have just returned.” Leo was really regretting his decision of going to the Silver city instead of just going back home after saving the unconscious Blood race princess.
”Think Leo, think....” Looking around, Leo's eyes suddenly lit up brightly as he saw a merchant caravan approaching the South gate, ”Bingo!” He quickly thought of a bright idea.
Leo's idea was pretty simple. He thought of; since every merchant caravan only needed its product to be checked, then getting in with the merchant caravan without the Blood race princess getting caught would be possible.
This custom was implemented because it would be troublesome to check every person within a merchant caravan, since most of these merchants came from other places and some were even from other Foreign races allied with the Human. Thinking of checking and making them register every time they visit the Silver city would surely consumed too much time and effort, and might also discourage any merchant to visit such a strict city.
Leo quickly told Butler Xiao and Fatty Ben about his idea before leaving them for awhile. He left them to hold the princess for a moment as he quickly approached the merchant caravan.
As Leo got near the merchant caravan, one of the escorting mercenary approached him and asked, ”May I know what this sir wants?”
”Can I talk to your Boss? I want to discuss some business.” Leo said as he open a large treasure box full of gold coins in front of the mercenary. Fortunately, he had bought the treasure box full of gold coins with him, since it was the only way to go with such plan.
The mercenary was astonished by the treasure box, but he still sized Leo up from head to toe. He was a mercenary after all, his job was to protect the safety of his employer.
After confirming that Leo was harmless, and that the intention was just to discuss business, he then guided the former towards a exquisite designed carriage.
”Madam, someone is here to discuss business with you!” The mercenary said while knocking at the door of the main carriage.
