The Abandoned Princess

A Heart as Fine as Dust

"Team of the prime minister?" Lexie glued, then reacted, "What do you mean the teams that participated in the race were people from the top?"

"Not all, but some were indeed members of the palace officials, some were merchants, showing their faces in this race, first to please the people, secondly it was to increase the family's influence." Dexter.

Lexie was rather surprised, not expecting that the people here were so smart, even having a concept similar to modern marketing techniques.

"People who can think about this race must be smart people." Lexie said praising with a smile.

Dexter listened to Lexie's words, then elegantly said: "Miss Lexie is too complimentary."

"Hey ..." Lexie's eyes widened, unable to resist asking, "Are you the one who thought up the concept?"

Dexter nodded, "New year 5 years ago, I thought about it when I was bored, thankfully supported by the Emperor, so the participation of the officials was very positive."

Five years ago, at that time, it seemed like she was less than 20 years old, it was no wonder she at such a young age could sit in such a high position, Lexie was amazed at her, it was no wonder she was at such a young age, then toast him with a cup of tea.

The two chatted, but suddenly the two heard the noise of the crowd in the teahouse, it turned out that there were already people who started betting in the hall, betting on which team would win the game this time.

"I think this time Wesly's team will win, you see General Wesly this time choosing some very good soldiers on the battlefield, all those soldiers are so great in battle, he said, is it possible not to win this ship racing race?"

"Being able to fight, not necessarily being able to win a ship racing race, ship racing depends on ability and is not a brutal force, I feel the team of Mr. Dexter can win, he said, I heard in particular that Mr. Dexter went south to recruit men to race."

"It's not necessarily, in the last few years, the Victor king's team that won, it should be this year as well. You think the King Victor's ship was made by a silver craftsman who socialized in the manufacture of weapons, much faster and lighter than the others, too difficult to win from the king of Victor!"

"They are all hot topics, the odds are too low, I am today betting on the Chu family who just joined this year, I heard that the Chu family has a relationship with the Heaven pavilion, Heaven said, there might be a magic weapon that can surprisingly win it, this is a dark horse, but few people bet on it, if it wins then it can make a big profit."

In the hall, everyone was listening to the debate in person, it was what made the head who opened the gamble laugh, he said that opening this gamble was the largest gambling house in the city, the owner of the gambling house was also a smart person, he asked people to come to every teahouse to take business, by utilizing this boat racing race, the gambling house was also able to reap profits.

Dexter looked at Lexie seriously listening to the arguments of the people downstairs, unable to help but smile and asked: "Does Miss Lexie also want to try your luck?"

"Try the luck of gambling?" Lexie turned her head and shook her head, "I don't want to risk my money on luck, if I can see the team participating in the competition, maybe I can still bet on tonight."

"It's not hard, if miss is interested, I don't mind taking the lady away to see her." Dexter stood up and gestured.

Lexie didn't expect him to just say with origin, Dexter took it so seriously, but he had already said it and it was not nice to refuse, so Lexie got up, "Then it's troublesome for Mr. Dexter."

"Miss Lexie, we're not the first to know, Mr. Dexter's call seems too ear-piercing, I'm a few years older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Dexter's sister." Dexter said to her like that while leading Lexie down.

When the boys heard that they could go to see the team playing, their eyes were excited, especially Rendi, she immediately screamed, Lexie who saw them so happy, her countenance became softer.

"These children ..." Dexter was still curious about some combination of them.

"Lucas is my younger brother, Ernie is a worker I hire, Rendi is the son of a neighboring family." Lexie introduced him briefly.

Dexter's eyes flickered a little strangely, but quickly covered it up, "You're hiring people? Miss Lexie's parents ..."

"It's gone, it's just me and my sister." Lexie interrupted his words, clearly not wanting to say too much.

Dexter realized it, so no longer asking, just directing some of those people towards the team that was following the race, when it was almost arriving, Dexter stopped the rundown, he said, then she took out a silk handkerchief from under her sleeves and handed it over, "I don't have a veil or anything like that, only this silk handkerchief can replace it temporarily, if Miss Lexie is willing, can you cover your face with this handkerchief?"

Lexie looked at him fixedly, not understanding his sudden action.

"Miss Lexie don't get me wrong, instead I have an opinion with Miss Lexie, but Miss Lexie's face is too striking, there are many people here, can't be avoided Miss will definitely get into trouble."

Lexie instantly understood the intent Dexter said, he as an official, there were definitely a lot of eyes beside him, the people who appeared beside him would definitely attract the people around him, if it falls into the view of the political enemy, it will cause trouble for Lexie, so he wants to stop this way to avoid trouble for Lexie.

A man could be careful at this point, this made Lexie salute him, at the same time also slightly moved.

A man like this, if he was a woman would definitely want to make him her partner, only unfortunately, Lexie ...

Lexie took the handkerchief, then tucked it neatly near her ear and covered most of her face.

Dexter takes him to the riverbank, where the competition will be surrounded by soldiers, only personnel from each participating team can enter, when Dexter takes Lexie and several people into the arena, it immediately catches the attention of the people around.

Being a high-ranking official, at a young age and unmarried, he was an object that the aristocrats were eager to make a couple, but Dexter's grandfather died and had not yet reached a period of consecrated transition, this gave him an excuse to honestly not want to get married.

But he had already reached the age to get married, once he passed the service period, he would definitely become a scramble, therefore, there were many people who paid attention to him.

So, when a masked woman appeared beside Dexter, the people from the extended family noticed her, almost everyone arranged for people to investigate the identity of the woman.

Lexie sensed the eye gaze from everyone around her, Lexie sighed, luckily she had prepared beforehand, otherwise, Lexie sighed, if Lexie were to reveal her face then definitely when she got out of here then all her background would already be investigated by these people.
