Indescribable tarot cards

In the Iris Trading House, amidst the smoke of precious incense from the lower reaches of the Scalesin River in the Western Kingdom of Lenofica, Alice sat quietly on her seat and took a sip of unsweetened black tea.

Dagos, the president of the Iris Trading Company branch in Layden City, was quietly communicating with Ed on the sidelines.

He was born with a kind and friendly face, his eyes were almost narrowed to a slit, and he always had a smile on his face, which always made people like him inadvertently.

Because of Layden City's geographical location, he, as branch president, has made a lot of money, and the silk robe he wears is even brighter than Alice's.

"It would be great if Ellie can come back." Dagus said with a smile, while playing with the bone ring on his finger, "But you seem to be looking a little bad?"

Alice glanced at Dagus silently, shook her head, and said nothing.

Ellie is her nickname. Not many people in this world know it, but her uncle Dagos naturally knows it.

"Miss Alice may have dealt with cultists, right?" Ed took over.

"Haha, in Layden City, the most indispensable thing is cultists. Little Aili, I told you that in Layden City, you must have a few guards around you, otherwise you will always encounter some unexpected events."

Dagos didn't seem to take this matter to heart, but laughed.

His laughter was so contagious that even Alice, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but curl up her lips. However, she quickly put away her smile and said, "I don't want anyone to follow me."

"Why?" Dagus casually pulled out a long cigarette from the table nearby. Just as he was about to light a fire, he realized that Alice was sitting in front of him, so he naturally put the long cigarette away.

Although this is the best tobacco from the lower reaches of the Scalesin River, some unscrupulous alchemists have improved the varieties and added hallucinogenic ingredients to it, which is enough to make people forget all their troubles.

But he still didn't want little Ellie to get involved with these, or in other words, according to aristocratic etiquette, a qualified gentleman should not take out these toys that are barely considered bad habits in front of ladies.

"Ed, Uncle Daggs, you should know why." Her voice was calm, but her tone revealed determination, "As a member of the Iris family, I know my tasks and missions, and I also know my responsibilities and Right, I won’t do anything stupid, so you don’t need to send someone to monitor me.”

As the two closest people to Alice, Ed and Dagus looked at each other silently, carefully hiding the sighs and regrets in their eyes, and did not speak.

They knew that Alice would still have something to say.

"The family tried to send someone to protect me, but I refused because I knew they were not here to protect me, but to monitor me." Alice paused, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which could not be explained as sarcasm. Still sad, "After all, they are still afraid of me running away."

Only in unpopular chivalry novels would the plot of a noble lady eloping with a down-and-out knight appear.

In the real world, a down-and-out knight cannot support a noble lady who escapes privately, and the noble lady will soon be disappointed with the knight's grinding of teeth at night and his smelly feet.

However, for the Iris family, this contract is really too important, so important that it must be executed.

Alice still remembered how the patriarch, the current Grand Duke of Iris, Karajan, cordially called her into his study, and how he analyzed the interests to her in a serious and thoughtful manner.

She can understand, understand, and accept these.

If she really doesn't want to accept it, or doesn't want to bear the family's reputation and glory, like her fiancé, she can run away midway and live a short or eternal wandering life.

After all, only in unpopular chivalry novels does the aristocratic lady appear to be a helpless vase waiting for the righteous and heroic knight to come to rescue her.

In reality, Alice is a young and energetic girl who can kill a strong man with one sword.

"We are just worried about you, little Ellie." Dagus cleared his throat and showed a bitter smile, "You should know that if we really want to monitor you, we can send more people secretly. But you also saw that I really didn’t send anyone.”

Alice took another sip of black tea and took a deep breath.

She knew that Dagos was telling the truth, but she didn't know why, but she always felt a little depressed.

She said she didn't want anyone to follow her, but she always wavered a little when facing the Silver-level cultists and even the "him" she didn't know until now.

Maybe it would be nice if someone could stand in front of her, right?

Of course, except for that lazy guy!

She thought of him eating and drinking like crazy at the dinner party at the City Lord's Mansion, and thought viciously.

However, she began to worry for no reason. Even with the so-called "Blazing Sun Potion", could he really be saved?

If he dies at the hands of cultists, does that mean he can...

For a moment, she was lost in thought.

"Miss Alice?" Ed looked at Alice, whose eyes were wandering, and asked in a low voice.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Alice came back to her senses and took another quick sip of black tea to cover up her embarrassment of being distracted.

"I just think you may need to rest. After all, you haven't slept for almost a day and a night because of this matter. If you just rely on black tea to refresh yourself..." Ed carefully arranged his words.

"Uncle Ed, it's okay." Alice forced a smile, but she was obviously a little distracted.

Don’t you know if that guy is dead?

That is something that affects her whole life...

As a sword-type transcendent, her physique is obviously much better than ordinary people, and the occasional late night is nothing.

Besides, she had just fought with the cultists, and even met the indescribable Him. His body was tainted with a strong aura of the cult. If she fell asleep, she would probably have a nightmare.

Rather than experiencing a nightmare in her sleep, Alice would rather stay awake until some of the cult atmosphere dissipates.

Seeing Alice's expression, Dagus unconsciously had a narrow smile on his face, "Oh, my dear little Alice, you must have fallen in love with that person, right?"

Although Alice was absent-minded, she still jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Dagus, don't talk nonsense!"

In her anger, she even ignored etiquette and called her uncle by his first name.

"I'm just wondering if this marriage can go ahead. After all, he was seriously injured. If he dies..." Alice subconsciously said what was in her heart, but then she forced herself to swallow the second half of the sentence. His face became unnatural, and then a bit of annoyance appeared.

Fortunately, she was facing the people closest to her now. If there were others, the consequences would be disastrous.

Naturally, she lost her composure and did not see the wry smiles in the eyes of Dagos and Ed.

Ellie, how wonderful it would be if you could put aside this heavy family honor...

Well, thank you all for your support~

Testing the waters, I guess there is no round trip~

La la la la la~

However, new problems emerged, the workload increased dramatically, and we could only maintain two updates a day...

It may still be a little watery afterwards, emmmmm...
