Chapter 474: The Sacred Mountain That Doesn't Exist
"What book? do you mean, the one on your body?" Richard asked, looking at Princess Ruth, and gave an answer, "I put that book away for you, why, you haven't finished reading it?"
"No, no, no!" Princess Ruth hurriedly shook her hand, "No, no, just put it back." β
Richard looked at Princess Ruth and felt that the other party's behavior seemed to be a little weird, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, sure, very sure. Princess Ruth said.
"Oh well. Richard shrugged.
Princess Ruth looked at Richard again, with a little weakness, and asked in a low voice, "Say...... That Richard, you didn't notice anything wrong in the period before I woke up, did you?"
"What's wrong?" Richard's eyes flashed slightly, and the old man in yellow flashed in his mind, "No, at most- well, I saw something that someone didn't want me to see." β
"You!" Princess Ruth glared at Richard and wanted to say something, but swallowed back in the end.
Richard exclaimed, "Why are you red?"
"I ...... I ...... "Princess Ruth doesn't know how to explain it at all, is it necessary to tell the truth?"
In her opinion, the most humiliating thing she had done at night was obviously noticed, and she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
But there are no cracks in the ground...... I just walked quickly to the side.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Richard, that ...... Let's hurry up, it's dawn, we should leave the library. Princess Ruth said.
Richard had no objection to this, after all, it was agreed between coming to the library, nodding, and following Princess Ruth towards the door of the library.
And as he reached the doorway, Richard slowed his pace slightly, turned his head to look at the realistic metal figures lined up in the corner, and blinked.
"Hey. Richard spoke up and asked Princess Ruth, "Do you think these figures are a little different from when they came in yesterday?" β
"Is there one?" Princess Ruth's face was still red and hot, and she lowered her head and quickly swept towards the wooden statue, not in the mood to answer the question at all, and said vaguely: "I don't think, maybe you are wrong, let's go quickly." β
"Okay. Richard followed Princess Ruth out of the library.
After walking out of the library, Princess Ruth quickly closed the door, looked at Richard, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, Richard, you have finished reading this library, do you want to go to any other library next......
"No need. Richard shook his head, "After reading this library, I've already found what I'm looking for, so I don't need to waste time going to other libraries." Next, I'm ready to leave the Kingdom of Black Sacred Mountain. β
"Leave, really!" said Princess Ruth, overjoyed. In her opinion, maybe the shameful thing was seen by Richard, but after Richard left, it was no different from not being seen.
Richard glanced at Princess Ruth's excited appearance and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, you are so happy to hear me leave?"
"Well, no, no, how could it be?!" said Princess Ruth, then, "but it is indeed a good thing that you are leaving.
You see, our kingdom of Black Sacred Mountain is now at war with the kingdom of Rob. Although, our Black Saint Mountain Kingdom is not afraid of them Rob Kingdom and has an advantage. But there are always surprises in wars. In case that day, the people of Rob Kingdom suddenly broke through the numerous lines of defense and drove straight into Williams City, it would be dangerous. For safety, you are right to leave early.
Also, you seriously injured that genius third-level apprentice in the Rob Kingdom yesterday, you won't forget, right? Well, I instructed you to do this. But, after all, it's you who really make the move! The Rob Mission has been looking for you in the city, and I know you won't be afraid of them, but don't you really like trouble. In order to avoid trouble, it is natural to leave well. β
When Richard heard this, he looked at Princess Ruth meaningfully for a long time, and then said, "Whether you mean it or not, but it is indeed logicalβdon't worry, I will leave." However, before I leave, there is one question that I hope you will answer seriously. β
"What?"
Richard turned his head, glanced at the king's private library that had just come out, thought about the conversation with the old man in yellow before, and asked Princess Ruth quite seriously: "The question I want to ask is, what is the origin of the name of your Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom?"
In other words, why is your country called Black Sacred Mountain? Is there a very big and famous mountain called Black Sacred Mountain? Or is there a very special and very important place or organization called Black Sacred Mountain, Holy Mountain, or something like that. β
"Black Holy Mountain, Holy Mountain?" Princess Ruth was stunned after hearing this, obviously she didn't expect Richard to ask such a question, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with anything, and shook her head apologetically, "I really don't know about this." I kid you not, I really don't know.
My country seems to have been called this name since a long time ago, for no reason, for no reason, everyone takes it for granted. Seriously, I've never heard anyone other than you wonder about the origin of the name.
Most of our Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom is plain, and you should know that the mountainous one is the Rob Kingdom. That's why they occupy our territory and don't return it. In the territory of the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom, there is absolutely no famous mountain called the Black Sacred Mountain, I assure you. As for the organization you're talking about, it's also very unlikely. β
"That's it. Richard thought for a moment and nodded. In his opinion, Princess Ruth should have nothing to hide. Previously, he had not found an explanation for the name 'Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom' in his private library. Maybe there's really no reason to call it that way. Well, maybe. β
"So be it. Richard looked at Princess Ruth and said, "I'm really leaving, you can send me out of the palace." β
"Good. Princess Ruth led the way in front of her with great enthusiasm, almost trotting Richard outside the palace, waving goodbye with a smile on her face, "Goodbye, goodbye!"
Richard gave Princess Ruth a strange look, didn't say anything, left, and in the sight of Princess Ruth, a little bit away, and finally disappeared.
"Whew-"
Princess Ruth watched Richard disappear, let out a long breath, and relaxed in her heart: Richard is gone, then it will be difficult to come back, maybe she will not see her in this life, this is not much different from Richard and death for her. In this case, no one really knows about her shame.
It's a good feeling!
Then again, since that's the case...... So does she want to go back to the library and read the rest of the book? Yesterday I remember seeing the heroine of the book and her twelfth or thirteenth lover's tryst and fell asleep, and there are many more to come.
But in broad daylight, just going into the library and staying for a long time is not what she usually does, will she be suspicious?
Stupid!
Suddenly, Princess Ruth slapped herself on the head, and thought with some hatred: why should she be in the library, she could have quietly entered the library to "take out" the books, and then in her palace bedroom, absolutely safe.
Well, it was decided.
But...... Wouldn't that be a bit depraved......? The angels told her that she was doing the right thing, and that it shouldn't matter. Yes, it doesn't matter......
Princess Ruth thought and walked back to her palace satisfied, ready to go back to sleep, recuperate, and then move.
