The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 55. Love Interest's

There were two cities in the northern part of the Kingdom of Liberas that only had a population of over ten thousand people. One is Bacau, the other is Ra'Vella.

Ra'Vella is located east of the city of Bacau, although it is only a small town, but it is much more advanced compared to the city of Bacau.

Since the distance of the two cities was not too far away, usually the troops led by Jasper would patrol between these two cities.

They will secure the main road connecting the two from monster or bandit attacks and protect the traveling travelers.

"However, why did the princess suddenly want to visit Bacau?" ask Jasper

"A, I don't know. When I wanted to ask the reason, I was rejected … "

“Cih..., troublesome problem. ”

Jasper's face became sour after hearing his subordinates' reports.

Previously, he carried out his duties as usual, patrolling, securing the main road commonly passed by travelers.

After completing his daily tasks, he would usually rest in the city of Ra'Vella for a while before returning to the city of Bacau.

But today was a little different, when he wanted to go home, suddenly the princess's personal bodyguard approached him and gave him the task of escorting the princess to the city of Bacau.

Jasper who heard this was of course shocked, usually an important task like this would be carried out by the city defense forces who possessed powerful combat power.

Moreover, the number of soldiers he had at the moment, did not meet the minimum standard.

When guarding a member of the royal family, it should be the number of soldiers escorting at least a minimum of 50 soldiers or the equivalent of a platoon of troops.

But his group currently only numbered 26 people, far from the minimum required.

Feeling that something was strange, Jasper tried to add the soldiers of Ra'Vella city as additional bodyguards to cover the lack of personnel.

However, somehow the princess' personal bodyguard forbade her and said that this was a special request from the princess.

The princess did not want her existence in the city until it was known by the feudal lord, besides the princess also promised to give her abundant benefits if she carried out her duties well.

Since this was a request from the princess herself, inevitably she could only accept it.

In addition, he was also very interested after hearing that he would get a reward.

"Then, what about the condition of the main road? " ask Jasper

"The reconnaissance soldiers have been sent in advance and there are no suspicious signs. Although some wild animals are occasionally seen around the street, we have not seen any signs of monsters or bandits" said his subordinates.

"Huumu... Humu's... "

"Lately the main road conditions have become very safe, usually we will fight against bandits or monsters once or twice every time we patrol, but lately they haven't appeared even once" his subordinates continued

"This may be related to the activities of adventurers who are increasingly active on the edge of the forest.

In addition, the incident on Mount Torli that occurred a few days ago, may also be the reason.

My father has sent old man Hector to investigate the matter, it shouldn't be long before the truth will come out" Jasper said

"To be honest I feel quite grateful with the current situation, thanks to the incident our job has become easier. Hahahahhh "answers his subordinates.

"Yes, things got easier"

Although his intuition said that there was something strange about the matter, he chose to ignore it.

Right now he has more important issues to think about.

'Looking at the current situation, it shouldn't be a problem if it's only us escorting the princess. Besides, I might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to give the princess a good impression.

If things go well, I might be able to form a connection with him and the chances of becoming an heir would be even greater.

Right, I should make the most of this opportunity. '

She still has a chance of becoming an heir as a second child, but her brother makes her desperate.

Her brother is much better than her, she is stronger, smarter, people prefer, besides her father is also more supportive of her brother compared to her.

As long as his brother was still around, with all the advantages he had, it was impossible for him to inherit his father's position as a Feudal Lord.

A strong sense of inferiority would overwhelm him, whenever compared to his older brother.

At the moment, an opportunity appeared before him, as long as everything went according to plan, the possibility of the opportunity to shift his brother as heir would be wide open.

After reassuring himself, he ordered his subordinates to prepare and begin the journey.

Escorted by the expedition, the princess, riding on a horse along with her personal bodyguard, slowly moved towards the western gate of Ra'Vella.

If Jasper was a good general, he would absolutely not let the princess be escorted with such a small number of troops, even if the place he was going to was proven to be safe once.

Supposedly, he made a request to the Feudal Lord despite being forbidden by him, as this was all for the sake of the princess's safety.

However, right now, Jasper was not doing that.

"Mr Jasper, are you leaving now? Not as usual... "

One of the gatekeepers walked up to them after seeing Jasper's army stop in front of a gate filled with people queuing.

"Yes, there are some important matters that I need to settle, can you open the side gate for me? " answered, Jasper seemed to be in a hurry.

While Jasper was talking, the gatekeeper was constantly watching his squad members, as if he was conducting an investigation.

"May I know who the woman in your entourage is? " ask the soldier suspiciously.

When he heard the soldier's question, Jasper turned his brain hard, looking for a reason that could convince the man.

"They are both adventurers from the city of Cervi who want to visit the recently discovered labyrinth near the city of Bacau" Jasper replied confidently.

"...., Adventurer !? Then why are they there... "

"Ahh.., take that as a friendship gift from me" said Jasper.

Before the soldier could finish his words, Jasper's closest subordinate immediately thrust a small pouch toward him as a cover-up charge.

There is no need to open the bag to find out what it contains, from the gurgling sound produced by the bag it already makes people guess what it contains.

The soldier immediately took the bag given by Jasper's subordinate without a single hesitation.

"Haha... It seems like mister Jasper is in a hurry right now, sorry to have hindered you, I will immediately open the gate and make his license" the soldier said

He ran towards the small gate beside the main gate with a big smile on his face.

“Cihh... Fucking leech "Jasper curses while looking at the soldier.

{ket: you are the same as bjirrr.. }

Without thinking of the consequences that would happen to him, if he to fail to protect the princess.

Jasper even dared to bribe the soldiers guarding the gate, to launch his plan.

He has been completely captivated by the advantages and bright future he will have, if he manages to carry out his duties well.

Jeanne, who had been watching their behavior, felt bitter to see the corrupt practices that occurred in front of her own eyes.

To be honest he really did not like this kind of action happening in his kingdom.

But at the same time, he also felt happy because of the stupidity and greed they had.

Because of that, he was able to control them much easier.

After waiting for a while, the side gate finally opened and a license to leave the city was obtained.

Jasper who saw this, ordered his men to move quickly, he did not want to waste any longer.

Jeanne poked down the hood of her robe even deeper, to hide her face as much as possible.

Accompanied by his personal bodyguard, Ingrid, they drove his horse quickly towards the town of Bacau.

"I can't wait for our meeting, after a long time, I can finally see you again"

Ignoring Jasper who was instructing his subordinates in a loud voice.

Jeanne said to herself, holding the beautiful jewel she had on her chest.

He looked very happy at this moment, the person he had originally assumed to be dead was still alive.
