A strange world

Chapter 674 Chapter 71. The fake princess

Annan came to Huadu City Lord's Mansion for the first time.

Previously, he had no qualifications, and even if he said that he was the city lord of "Free City", officials would only ask confused questions about where that place was.

It's different now. The southern countries already knew what Annan was doing in Yiwen City and spread the news to Huadu. When Annan came to the door of the city lord's palace and revealed his identity, he was welcomed in as the queen's knight.

Annan saw the princess.

"We meet again."

She was sitting in a garden full of flowers, still beautiful...but she was just a girl of noble status, without the compassion and devotion of a real princess.

In Annan's heart, the princess who lost her left eye, her right arm, and finally her soul was countless times more beautiful than her.

"I didn't know you were the princess's wife..." The princess stood up and blamed herself.

Annan said nothing, and his eyes fell on the housekeeper standing next to him.

"He is my servant," said the princess.

"It doesn't matter, the misunderstanding has been resolved." Annan said, "But in front of other people, you can just call me knight."

"Okay...Knight."

"The princess should have told you everything, right?"

"Yes, you...you met the real princess in Lost City, were awarded a knight, and single-handedly eliminated the weird things in Lost City."

No wonder the fake princess was nervous about Annan's arrival. The Scarlet Princess boasted a lot for Annan.

Annan said directly: "Prince, I still have some tasks in Huadu, so I can't stay with you all the time."

The fake princess looked relieved: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"certainly."

Annan came here for this: "Happy water is my industry, and I need you to speak for it. Help me warn the nine major wine merchants, I don't want to see them coming to trouble. I also need a theater, Jinna I am not a problem, but it needs to be settled before the celebration, and then introduce me to some nobles who have their own territories..."

The fake princess looked confused at Annan's list of requests: "Uh...are these all the princess's requests?"

"I mean it exactly as a princess."

"OK……"

"Then I will go back. Good night, Your Highness."

"Good night."

The fake princess said goodbye softly and watched Annan leave the garden.

"Have you seen it? He doesn't have any respect for you." The 'butler' standing behind him showed a snake-like smile, "They don't believe you at all, and they even sent a 'knight' to monitor you..."

The "butler" stopped speaking abruptly, quickly regained his coldness, and put on a respectful smile.

Annan, who returned, glanced at the housekeeper suspiciously and said to the princess, "I forgot to tell you that the princess lent me the real Ring of Lost City before. Remember not to expose the secret."

The fake princess lowered her head and looked at the fake Lost City ring on her fingers as delicate as suet.

Annan left again, and the "butler" said to the fake princess who bowed her head: "Do you believe he has seen the real princess? Can the subordinates of that useless princess get in touch with the real princess? Maybe he is just like you, just making it up to deceive others. Jie Jie Jie…”

The "butler's" laughter disappeared again, because Annan left and returned.

"It's not good to laugh like that." Annan said to the housekeeper, "I can hear your cunning laughter like an old crow in the distance."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency Knight." The "Butler" lowered his head.

"Is there anything else?" The fake princess had to ask.

"No, it was his laughter that attracted me." Annan pointed at the silent butler.

…

Did the Crimson Princess send a weird butler to follow the fake princess?

Annan thought on the way back.

The reception official was waiting for him in front of the garden and took Annan to the hall.

The nobles and officials from Huadu rushed over. They wanted to know what happened in Wenwen City.

"I've told you everything you need to say..."

After Annan told what happened in Lost City, their doubts did not disappear.

One of the knights, a lion-like leader, questioned who Annan really was.

"I'll only say it once." Annan raised his head, because it was too long, "I am Annan, King of the North, Rat Man Bane, Rat Hunting Champion, Lord of the Floating City, Champion Warlock, Dungeon Warden, Hide and Seek King, Strange Goodwill Messenger, Queen Knight, Reeves..."

"what are you saying……"

A bunch of big shots were stunned, and the leader of the Knights asked: "I mean how do you prove your identity!"

"I just came out from the princess's place." Annan gave him a little thumbs up.

Everyone could see Annan's confidence - no one was closer to the princess than him.

The leader of the Knights said angrily: "Are you contemptuous of me?"

"I just want to show you my finger that has the Ring of Lost City on it."

"Okay, he is the hero who purified Wenwen City, not your prisoner." A gentle tone intervened. The deputy city lord stood between the two of them and explained to Annan: "We just want to know what happened in Wenwen City." How is the situation..."

"I actually don't know more than you do..."

The smell of gunpowder at the banquet disappeared, but Annan still had to answer some questions, such as those missing people...

Annan didn't know what he wanted to know, but he told everyone about the outcome of the Archbishop of Valencia.

Valencia was not a competent father, but his loyalty to the church and Lost City was breathtaking. Even the head of the Knights lowered his head to show respect.

There was also an acquaintance among the participants in this party, which was neither a banquet nor a parliament, Fatima Sailer.

Because of her relationship with the princess and her acquaintance with Annan, she was also invited.

"You are actually the princess's knight..." Fatima Sailor seemed to still be dreaming.

Annan could only deceive the poor girl first: "The princess won't let me tell you."

"That……"

"You want to ask your aunt? She was killed by Weird."

Neither of the two princesses told them where the nobles in the front hall had gone, but their "sister" said that something strange had come in... and they knew it without guessing.

Fatima Sailer was struck awake by a hammer and stood there stunned.

Annan was a little surprised. Judging from her reaction, it seemed that she had a good relationship with her aunt...

He thought that Ms. Alyssa, who was bringing her niece to serve him, did not have a good relationship with her...

"I've told you everything I know. If you have any questions, you can come to me in the Old City Tavern." Annan said goodbye to them and walked outside the city lord's mansion.

He bumped into a figure coming in at the door. It was a pair of amber eyes that Annan could not forget.

The moment he saw her, Annan suddenly realized that Valencia's real gift was not his own body, but the memory itself...

Correspondingly, it is difficult for Annan, who succeeded the Archbishop of Valencia on January 17th, to stand idly by when he saw Colette.

Cunning old fox...

Colette was also looking at Annan, and she recognized him as the young man she had seen earlier today.

"Have we met somewhere?"
