The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1391: The First Road Trip

Unbeknownst to Fredhardt, the two troublemakers plus one indifferent adherent had already hit the road after mercilessly emptying the Cestine palace’s armory. One can only imagine what Fredhardt’s face looked like when he found out about this.

Meanwhile, in the SUV Lory, Fargo and Zhao Li Xin were excited for their first new trip after a very long time. Not only did she take weapons and gadgets for their upcoming adventure, she also sneaked into the kitchen and took a lot of snacks, dessert, drinks, and everything that looked tasty.

She knew that when the kitchen staff knew about this, they might think someone had robbed their kitchen.

But Lory was quite curious about how the head chef reported this to the palace security chief. Dare they say that perhaps a thief managed to get through the layered defenses of the Cestine palace, but instead of taking valuable objects such as precious relics, important documents, and whatnot, the thief wiped off all the food in the kitchen.

Lory shook her head. She decided not to worry about it and focused more on enjoying the remaining bento box in her spatial ring. Such exotic taste could not be found anywhere else in her world.

This taste reminded her of the cultivator world and all her friends there. "I forgot how delicious Chef Hei Shen’s cooking is. This is so delicious, try this!" Lory fed the crystal dumpling to Zho Li Xin, who happily accepted it.

The fragrant smell filled the entire car, making Fargo, who was driving, lose his focus. "Hey Lory, is your food that delicious? Come on, give me some..." he asked curiously.

"You drive Fargy," Lory annoyed that Fargo ruined her lovey-dovey time with her handsome husband.

"Come on, just a little bit, pleasee...." he begged coyly.

"Don’t act cute, don’t you feel ashamed of your age!" Lory said in disgust.

Fargo felt like his heart was being stabbed by a needle. "Why are you so mean to me?" Fargo felt hurt, Unfortunately, Lory didn’t care about him and continued to flirt with Zhao Li Xin

Annoyed, Fargo clicked his tongue and muttered, "No wonder people say, the older you get, the worse your temper is."

Lory could hear him clearly, her anger instantly flared, "Hey, you think I’m old now?"

Fargo quickly defended himself, "It wasn’t me, you were the one who said that."

"I did not!" Lory argued in a high-pitched voice.

"Yes, you did," Fargo replied.

"Did not"

"Did too."

Lory huffed angrily while Fargo turned on the music and sang while pretending not to notice Lory’s annoyed expression.

Zhao Li Xin was watching Fargo and Lory bicker back and forth with amusement. He thought their interactions were endearing, and they looked like siblings. Furthermore, because they both changed their hair to the same blonde color, they really did look like siblings.

Lory’s relationship with Fargo and the others was much closer than any imperial family he knew. In fact, if it weren’t for Lory, he wouldn’t have believed that the relationship between the royal family and their subordinates could be as close as a real family. Lory really opened his view of the world.

Suddenly, their car slowed down, and Fargo grinned as he turned his head over his shoulder, "Lory, I think there’s someone who can’t wait to meet you."

Lory had just finished her meal Lory stored the food box back in her ring. After that, she peeked from behind the driver’s seat, "Who is it?"

On the side of the road, a jeep was parked, and a middle-aged man with slicked-back gray hair and a full gray beard was leaning with his hands folded on his chest against the back of his jeep. Fargo was momentarily stunned, for he had never seen Leon look so...trendy.

Fargo knew the old man must have tidied up his appearance beforehand because he had never seen Leon this neat, even his clothes looked fashionable with a black T-shirt, jeans, and a dark blue coat. Fargo was curious who bought that dark blue wool coat.

Why is Fargo so curious? Because for so many years he had only seen Leon wearing military clothes, whether training clothes, combat clothes, or formal clothes, they were all military uniforms.

Fargo saw Leon straighten his back the moment he saw Fargo’s car slowing down. The old man looked very nervous yet excited at the same time.

Fargo shook his head and smiled. He knew exactly how it felt. Leon stood with his hands resting behind his back, his eyes were sharp and intimidating, but if one looked closely, they would see how tensed his body was.

The SUV car stopped, then the door at the back seat opened, soon after a blonde woman wearing a hoodie got out of the car, even though she had changed her hair and eyes, even so, Leon could recognize her immediately cause it’s impossible mistaken that face, that smile and that warm gaze radiated from her eyes.

"General Leon," Lory tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

The tears at the corner of his eyes threatened to fall, so Leon reflected and raised his head, then took a deep breath to control his emotions.

After he managed to control his emotions, Leon took a deep breath, then lowered his head. He fixed his posture and then gave a deep bow, "Welcome back, Your Highness," his voice filled with longing, joy, and relief.

Lory chuckled, then opened her arms and hugged the big old man. "It’s been a long time, Leon."

This time Leon cannot stop his tears from rolling down his face, he presses his hand on Lory’s shoulder to assure him this is not a dream cause he had this kind of dream before.

Lory let go of her hug, then Leon turned around to wipe the tears on his cheeks. A moment later, he collected himself and smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Did you cry, old man?" Fargo would not let this chance to tease Leon.

Leon turned around with a sullen face. "Shut up, I’m just sweating, it’s so hot today, why did you take so long and make me wait?" He took out his anger on Fargo.

"How should I know, you were waiting!" Fargo protest.

"I don’t care, it’s your fault!" Leon adamantly put the blame on Fargo like a stubborn child.

Fargo rolled his eyes, knowing it’s no use to fight this stubborn old man. Leon snorted, then his eyes caught at one of the most beautiful men he had ever seen in his life.

The man’s expression was cold, but there was a hint of warmth in his eyes as he looked at Lory. Although he described him as a beautiful man but he didn’t look feminine, but more like an exquisite Adonis statue he saw in a museum, but more than that...why did he look familiar.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, that man—"

Lory’s face beamed, she stretched out her hand to call the man, "That’s my husband, his name is Zhao Li Xin. Honey, come here!"

Leon saw the cold man’s expression melt instantly, and his eyes sparkled like stars in the midnight sky as he walked towards Lory with long strides.

It didn’t take a genius to know that this man was head over heels at Lory, which is good. Lory wrapped her hand on Zhao Li Xin’s arm, then turned to Leon.

"Let me introduce you, this is one of our best generals, he is also one of the commanders who accompanied me to defend L’markiet, his name is General Leon Blackburn." Lory excitedly introduced Leon to Zhao Li Xin.

Knowing that this man had accompanied Lory in one of her most difficult times, Zhao Li Xin’s attitude naturally softened. Zhao Li Xin even generously extended his hand first, "Nice to meet you, General."

Leon shook his hand firmly, then he felt Zhao Lin’s grip, and he looked at him curiously. "Strong grip, calloused hands, nice posture, you seem well-trained."

"He does, we already exchanged a few blows on the training ground, so I can vouch for that," Fargo affirms it.

Leon’s interest was immediately aroused when he found out that Zhao Li Xin managed to spar with Fargo and earned his praise.

Well, that wasn’t easy, especially with his position as Lory’s husband. Leon imagined Fargo must have higher expectations about Zhao Li Xin.

"Really..." Leon gives a brief assessment to Zhao Li Xin before he speaks with anticipation, "I hope you will grant me the honor of sparring with this old man sometime."

Zhao Li Xin replied, "It will be my pleasure."

The confidence and calmness that radiated from Zhao Li Xin made him feel satisfied. The man looked strong and intelligent.

Leon looked at Lory with an approving look, "You found a good one here, Your Highness, honestly, I was worried you might pick a crude-frivolous type of man like a certain someone over here..." He threw a disapproving look at Fargo.

"Hey, what’s wrong with me?!" Fargo felt wronged. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Leon gave him a bad look, "You change women like girls change their clothes, and you flirt with any girl you see!"

Fargo opened his mouth, but no words came out. After a brief moment, he gave in and nodded, "Okay, you’re right..."

"Of course, I am!" Leon quipped.

Lory squeezed Zhao Li Xin’s arm affectionately the proudly said, "Don’t worry Leon, my Li Xin has never been involved with any woman, before or after we got together, he doesn’t even let a woman get closer than two meters, he is the most loyal, faithful and honest man I have ever met,"

Zhao Li Xin’s smile grew wider like a blooming flower as he heard Lory praise him excessively in front of her people. Zhao Li Xin felt relieved because even though he did many wrong things in the past, he did one thing right, which was not getting involved with any woman before he met Lory.

He was glad that all his efforts to keep women away as far as he can finally paid off.

Leon was stunned, someone with Zhao Li Xin’s appearance had never been involved with other women before he met Lory. Honestly, if he didn’t know Lory better, he might have thought Zhao Li Xin was lying.

On the other hand, Fargo might not know the details, but he could guess from the way Zhao Li Xin behaved towards people other than Lory. It was not an exaggeration to describe Zhao Li Xin’s temperament as colder than an iceberg.

"Well, that’s good to hear, maybe someone can learned something from Mr. Zhao here," he threw sarcastic remarks at Fargo.

Fargo shrugged nonchalantly, "Sorry, old man, I like women too much."
