At that moment, Louis sat inside the carriage feeling incredibly distressed.
He ended up unable to resist the little swan and took her with him.
Conveniently, he had some matters to attend to at the Adventurer Guild and Mayer Commerce Association today.
"Elbow, I'll take you to try some of the specialty foods of the Mayer Commerce Association."
The little swan snorted lightly and said:
"Humph, with that commerce association of yours, what's there to eat?!"
Louis emphasized: "It's not mine; it's Mr. Mayer's. It's not the same."
…Twenty minutes later…
Glug glug glug glug~
The little swan drank the milk tea in one go, emptying the cup.
A light white foam clung to her upper lip, and Lumi took out a tissue to wipe it clean for her.
"Well, it's just that!"
Olivia snorted, then looked at Lumi:
"Lumi, you can make this too, right?"
Lumi didn't say a word, just poked the little swan's forehead with her finger and shook her head:
"Your Highness, if you want to drink this, you'd better let His Highness Louis help."
She had no intention of adding to her workload.
Lately, her little swan had been giving her a headache.
Olivia pouted unhappily.
"Damn, it must be because they developed a new product after acquiring large pastures in Dragonbone Prairie."
"Boo-hoo, but the association's teas and milk teas are so delicious."
The stubborn little swan wouldn't admit to that.
But she quickly realized her purpose today was not just to eat.
She shouted:
"Sister Lumi, let's go see if there's anything we need in the shop and buy some to keep in stock."
The head maid nodded, thinking Olivia wanted to support her brother-in-law's business.
However, she didn't notice that when she turned around, Olivia started shaking her magic staff lightly.
With the gentle jingle of the bell hanging from the staff, a purple-black magic covered the two of them.
Louis, curious, said:
"What magic did you use? It doesn't seem like it has any beneficial effects, huh?"
The little swan raised her neck high upon hearing that:
"Humph, you don't know, do you? It's magic I came up with myself, called [Presence Diminish]."
"Bet you didn't expect this magic to prevent Lumi from realizing I sneaked out first!"
"When I saved you at Dragonbone Prairie before, it was through this magic."
Louis nodded somewhat surprised.
To block the perception of an LV20 professional, the little swan's magic was indeed impressive.
However, he was a bit puzzled:
"Why didn't you use this magic when we were at the ruins outside the city last time?"
"It could have saved us some trouble when killing the creatures."
Then, Louis saw the little swan's face freeze.
Louis: …
He seemed to understand something, nervously saying:
"Don't tell me, you forgot."
Little Swan: "Eh hey?"
Louis showed no mercy, giving the little swan a punch:
"Eh hey, my foot! Don't you even know how many spells you can use?"
The little swan exclaimed:
"There's nothing to do about it. I already know over forty spells."
"Besides the spells I use frequently, how can I think of all of them right away?"
Louis was stunned for a moment: "Young Master Duo?"
The little swan puffed out her chest: "Over forty!"
In fact, if it weren't for her professional level limits, the mainstream spells and their variations she knew would have already exceeded 150.
I, Olivia, am a magic genius!
Then she saw Louis's eyes begin to turn red.
"Olivia, are we friends?"
The little swan originally wanted to say "Hey, traitor," but instead said:
"Barely."
——I think you've turned over a new leaf in this lifetime, so we can be friends, but it doesn't mean I'll trust Sister Wang with you!
Upon hearing this, Louis's face showed a hopeful expression.
The little swan suddenly felt nervous, covering her body with her hands.
"How about teaching me magic when you have time?"
"Huh?"
The little swan suddenly felt a bit defeated.
She instinctively lowered her head, clearly seeing her toes.
Then she blushed a bit.
"You traitorous countryman!"
She said, looking somewhat frustrated:
"We'll talk about it later. While my magic still works, let's go find something tasty to eat."
After saying that, without another word, she pulled Louis and turned to run.
Louis, laughing and crying:
"What kind of delicacy makes you risk Lumi's wrath just to try it?"
The little swan said not a word.
"I can't possibly tell you that at this time in a previous life, Captain Jino's eldest son was in the Charming Street behind the commercial street, drinking poison with a beauty and then fell into a coma, can I?"
This incident once stirred quite a commotion in the past.
Jino, as the head of the Royal Guard, was someone of high status and power in the Imperial Capital.
Yet perhaps it was the Devil Instructor who applied his own military training methods to his first son, Rein Kaichen.
Resulting in more awe and fear than love for Captain Jino.
Especially in the past two years, perhaps due to the adverse effects of strict education, Rein fast-tracked into a mode of lax behavior.
With a focus on brothel visits, music, and indulgence.
After all, the soft-spoken words from a lady are more comforting than the Devil Instructor's iron fist.
Unexpectedly, on this day, Rein, after some unknown stimulus, decided against common sense to drink poison with a lady planning suicide.
By the time the issue was discovered, Rein went from lying down chilling to just lying down.
Olivia believed that as a qualified royal lady, it was necessary to lend a hand to loyal and righteous people like Jino.
But she was too embarrassed to go to Charming Street alone.
——She heard from Lumi that Charming Street has many traffickers dealing in [black households].
She knew she was pretty and cute, and feared being targeted without someone with her.
So she dragged Louis along.
After all, she knew that the Iron Guard named William could protect him at any time while in the Imperial Capital.
Heh heh heh, that way, even if Lumi isn't around, she wouldn't worry about her safety.
The little swan's hands were soft and small, and Louis was afraid of hurting her, so he let her lead without rushing.
However, as they walked, he suddenly realized that this wasn't the direction to the food street.
Louis' gaze swept over a red-clad fox lady in the pavilion.
Yikes, that's one big and white.
In this cold winter, weren't those sitting in the pavilion afraid of the cold?
"Young man, why not come in and sit for a while? If it's you, the first soup today is free!"
Louis widened his eyes:
"Olivia, this doesn't seem like a place where you can eat peacefully."
He wasn't a fool.
If he hadn't been led in this direction, it would have been okay.
Now, seeing this, this place seems quite improper.
Indeed, in this cold winter, many people would rather stay home than head out.
Where did the beauties who grant such open benefits for survival come from…
Louis silently gnashed his teeth.
Silly girl, did your brain get flooded pulling me here?
Just when he paused for a moment, ready to sternly tell the little swan "No," a scream suddenly came from afar.
"Not good, Young Master Rein has drunk poison wine!"
