The days when I was a maid in another world

Originally, every year after the New Year, the king would hold a meeting of lords, but this year the meeting was canceled because the king was ill.

It is said that the king was very ill this time, and in addition to his advanced age, many people secretly speculated that he might not survive this test.If the king really has any troubles, then who will inherit the throne will be a very serious problem.

The king has two sons and two daughters, but the two sons and the eldest daughter were born to the previous princess, and only the youngest daughter is born to the current princess.Therefore, it is hard to say which child the king will pass on the throne to.

Sterling received the king's letter and went to the king's city to meet the king and his wife.

I don't know why Sterling took me with him, but I didn't want to stay alone, considering that I had suffered a disadvantage from Buck, so I happily followed him to take the train to Wangcheng.

This time, it was not captain William who was in charge of guarding, but vice-captain Alger.

After afternoon tea with Sterling, I got up to use the toilet.As a result, after coming out of the toilet, he saw Alger standing at the door.

"Do you need me?" My intuition told me that he came here specially to wait for me.

He nodded and pulled me aside.Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he opened his mouth, but didn't even say a word.

I knew he must not know how to speak, so I waited quietly and patiently.

Finally, he had to pull out a cigarette and light it.After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know what your lord is doing in Wangcheng?"

"I don't know." I said honestly.

It must be of great importance that Sterling was summoned by the king at this time.But if Sterling doesn't tell, I won't ask.Moreover, when it comes to politics and the military, I don't know much even if he said it, and this is not a country I am familiar with.

Alger took a deep look at me, hesitated for a while before speaking again: "Do you like your lord?"

My cheeks were burning uncontrollably, and I felt a little embarrassed to be asked so bluntly by him.But as a man, you can't be as shy and coy as a woman, right?So, I replied bluntly, "That's right."

He frowned slightly imperceptibly, smoked the remaining half of the cigarette vigorously, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his feet, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Tang, if your lord marries a wife, What are you going to do?"

I couldn't help but startled, his question stumped me for a while.

Although I like him very much, I never thought of monopolizing him for the rest of my life.Instead, I hope he finds someone he likes to spend the rest of his life with after I'm gone.It's good to have it once, it doesn't have to last forever.His status determines that he will marry a suitable wife, and my special status also determines that I cannot stay with him forever.

All this is taken for granted.However, when I wanted to answer this question calmly and truthfully, I found that I couldn't open my mouth at all, only my throat moved slightly.

"The king and his wife summoned him to talk to him about his marriage to Princess Fiona." Argel looked directly at me with deep eyes.

Princess Orfina?I remember that when I went to Wangcheng with Sterling last year, I heard him talk about this matter with his subordinates.At that time, it seemed that the princess was opposed to this matter, so does she agree now?

If Sterling does marry the princess, it will definitely help him a lot...

I took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in my heart, raised my head and asked with a smile: "Alger, why did you tell me this? Isn't it great that your lord can marry a princess?"

"What about you? What do you do?" He locked my eyes firmly, as if he didn't allow me to avoid this question.

I turned around to avoid his gaze, then looked out of the window and replied flatly: "I will leave."

He put his hand on my shoulder lightly, I thought he had something to say to me, but after a while, he withdrew his hand but didn't say anything.I turned around to look at him, only to see that he was already walking towards another carriage.

I guess he wanted to say something to me, otherwise he wouldn't have told me these things.But he couldn't say it after all. After all, he is Sterling's subordinate, and he can't make irresponsible remarks about his boss's affairs; , he couldn't continue to persuade.

After all, he really treats me as a friend, he doesn't want to see me sad.

Thank you, Alger.

Looking at the back that was getting further and further away, I said to myself.

***

The Tride region is located in the southeast of the country, while the king's domain is located in the east, but the two territories do not border each other, separated by a small piece of Robito's territory.

At this time, the place where the train stops is a small town in Robito.

Steam-powered trains need to add coal and water in time, otherwise they will easily break down halfway.

At this time, it was approaching dusk, and the sun was slanting to the west, making the clouds on the horizon slightly reddish and inlaid with gold.

"Are you hungry?" Sterling, who sat across from him, asked with a smile.

"Yeah." I nodded honestly.

"I've ordered people to prepare dinner." He replied, "When you arrive at Wangcheng at night, don't you just stay in your room and don't know where?"

I was amused by his words, and deliberately replied: "It's midnight, where can I go wild?"

"I mean," he stretched out his hand to hold my hand, "I'm going to the palace after I get off the bus. If you don't come back very late, don't worry, sleep peacefully or wait patiently. Just stay with me."

I couldn't help but thumped in my heart, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, it doesn't mean that you will be in danger when you go this time?"

"It's not that dangerous," he smiled and patted the back of my hand, "it's just that it might make the king and his wife unhappy."

Damn, what did I hear?He actually wants to make the king and his wife unhappy?

"Why?" I blurted out, because it's not wise to listen to it.

"Because I don't want to marry their daughter." He replied indifferently.

I wanted to ask "why" again, but I held back.I have thought about whether he is for me, but I feel that it is a bit embarrassing for me to think so.Since it's not for me, I can't ask any further.

"As you please," I thought about the words for a while, "In short, you must be safe and sound."

Sterling and I were talking, when a guard soldier came over and saluted Sterling, saying, "My lord, I have your telegram."

"Read." Sterling directly ordered without avoiding me.

"Five words in total—Robito, danger." The soldier said seriously.

Sterling suddenly stood up, pulled me up, and shouted at the same time: "Alger!"

Alger hurried over from another compartment, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, did you call me?"

Sterling pushed me to Alger's side, and ordered: "You and Don disguise yourself and get out of here immediately!"

"Yes!" Alger answered simply, and immediately gave a military salute.

I was stunned for a while, and immediately came back to my senses, and asked Sterling, "Aren't you going with us?"

"Honey, let's go separately." He smiled softly at me and said.

I know that the enemy must be coming for Sterling, and it is safest for me to separate from him, but I am very afraid that after we separate, I will never see him again...

"No, Sterling, I want to go with you!" I said stubbornly.

"Be obedient!" He suddenly pulled me into his arms and kissed my mouth forcefully, "Let's go separately and then go back to Terai City to meet up."

"But..." I saw that he was about to open his mouth to continue to object, when a guard next to him had already walked over under the signal of his eyes, and then put a top hat on my head.

"Time is tight, Tang, listen to my arrangement." He reached out and unbuttoned my clothes as he said, and then took a suit handed over by the guard next to him, intending to help me put it on.

After I took the suit and changed it myself, I looked at him again, and after thinking about it, I could only say one sentence: "Promise me, you will be fine!"

"Okay," he nodded with a smile, "I'll see you in Terai City!"

Alger had already changed his general uniform into ordinary clothes at this time. Seeing that the time was almost up, he pulled my arm and reminded: "Let's go, Don."

I had no choice but to look at Sterling reluctantly, and then followed Alger to the compartment for ordinary passengers.
