A Coincidence-I Know a Caesar Too!

As the Fourth Princess of the Eastern Kingdom, Evelyn Caesar should clearly not be present in the grain transport convoy.

According to most intelligence from the North, she should be stationed in Icewind Territory right now, worrying about the demon army's attack.

Only a handful of people knew that the princess of the Rhine Kingdom had been in good spirits lately. The crisis in Icewind Territory was not as terrible as in previous years, and the territory was thriving under the guidance of the advanced Earth concepts brought by Changfeng Tuo.

A few days ago, she used magic to contact her teacher, who was Court Magician, and secretly returned to the Royal Capital in the south.

Although she wasn't entirely satisfied with her trip to the Royal Capital, Evelyn was still in a good mood.

Good things keep happening: because of her merit in poisoning the demons, her father's attitude towards her has become more favorable; her teacher has also promised to give her more support; and some lords in the south have begun to place their bets on her...

Although it's not obvious, the trend is always improving, isn't it?

At least this time when she went to Snowfield City, she disguised herself as an ordinary person and hid in the grain transport caravan, instead of like before, when she was alone with only a few close confidants traveling through the cold snow-covered mountains.

"I still think what you did was very inappropriate and irresponsible towards your own life."

A hoarse voice came from the shadows of the carriage. "We can't keep our southward journey a secret for long. The other three nobles' spies in the palace will find out sooner or later."

"This trip to Snowfield City may be even more dangerous."

Evelyn watched Xu Nan's figure gradually disappear, her tone still cheerful. "I know."

"But avoiding one long-distance teleportation will save fifty more households in Icewind Territory. We don't have much money left."

"Besides, those three are fighting fiercely among themselves, so they probably don't have the energy to deal with me."

The hoarse voice said coldly, "It seems the recent good fortune has made you lose your head."

"Do you really think there was no reason behind those orcs attacking the supply lines?"

Evelyn's face looked a little unpleasant, but she still nodded slightly:

"Indeed, we should be more careful."

"Please go see Sir Melinda later; I have important business to discuss with her."

She slowly lowered the curtains, closed her eyes, and those worries returned—

The struggle for the Rhine throne has reached a fever pitch. It's clear to everyone that the Old King won't last much longer. With the help of the court apothecary and the church, he can barely get through this winter, but next year will likely be a tough time.

The power struggles among the four heirs have made the internal situation of the kingdom complex and intricate.

The Fourth Princess was the least favored one. In the eyes of others, she should have been the first to be eliminated in the struggle for the throne, even though she bore the surname Caesar.

But she still held onto hope and persevered until now, just like the people of the coldest of the Icewind Territory to whom she was assigned in the struggle for the throne—weak, but tenacious.

Everything will be alright.

She was with herself.

Night fell.

Xu Nan paced back and forth in the camp. He was quite adept at living off women... but the problem was, he had a hard time finding the right balance!

How can he make everyone believe that he is an excellent gigolo, but in reality, nothing like that happens?

Melinda certainly wouldn't let him off so easily; if Xu Nan offered himself up, she would definitely accept it with a smile.

"Looks like we still have to take the risk."

Xu Nan pondered for a long time and decided to try a roundabout approach. For example, he could go to Melinda's carriage to discuss topics like hairstyling.

As long as others know that she spent one night in her carriage, she can openly jump out and deliberately be seen, right?

With this thought in mind, Xu Nan had a sudden inspiration. He left Qin Lele a note saying that he wouldn't be coming back tonight and that she should take care of her own meals and not kick off the covers anymore. Then, he sneakily made his way to Melinda Knight's carriage!

Xu Nan's Stealth ability is terrible, but luckily he still has the Invisibility Orb.

He seized an opportunity while Melinda was in the main tent discussing some matters of the journey with the other knights, and sneaked in!

Although Melinda is a strong woman, her carriage is actually quite Wen Xin. Xu Nan's carriage is much better; it not only has good wind protection but also exudes a sweet charm unique to mature women.

Xu Nan thought for a moment, then ran to a corner at the back of the carriage and hid.

He planned to hide here for the night.

Xu Nan soon got bored, but luckily he still had the system, so he could chat with others on the forum.

Right now, he's chatting with an honest guy he met on the forum.

The honest man named Sean kept complaining to Xu Nan that he had encountered a devil who was making him restless every day.

Xu Nan felt it was necessary to encourage her fellow countrymen to be optimistic and positive, and not to face life with pessimism.

So, like a priest, he fed Sean a lot of earthly platitudes, and Sean, after listening, indeed said he would not give up the fight against the devil.

When he logged off, he thanked Xu Nan profusely and asked her to add him as a real friend, since Xu Nan was anonymous.

Xu Nan thought about it and chose to decline. After all, he had done too many bad things in Lost Paradise and his reputation was not good. What if people found out and looked at him with prejudice?

Sean is a really good guy, and he doesn't want to lose such a friend.

As for why the name Sean sounds so familiar?

Hmm, is Xu Nan the kind of person who would casually remember the name of some random passerby?

After sending Sean offline, Xu Nan started playing with the unstable portal and message in a bottle out of boredom.

He made a surprising discovery while playing!

It seems that once you enter the Pro World, the message in a bottle becomes unlimited!

"Wow, that's amazing... I wonder if Prince Caesar is asleep yet. I might as well bother him a bit, since I have no one to play with anyway."

Xu Nan hid in the corner, occasionally browsing the forum, and sometimes chatting with Caesar about interesting things happening in his territory.

Not long after, there was some movement near the carriage, Xu Nan immediately put away the teleportation portal!

Melinda the Knight is coming back!

What if she finds out? Knowing her personality, I'd probably need to take a whole bottle of Liuwei Dihuang Pills to keep up, right?

Thinking about it, Xu Nan felt a little expectant... no, more nervous!

Footsteps could be heard faintly, the carriage door was opened, and a cold wind rushed in, making Xu Nan shiver!

"Melinda so much, Knight Melinda..."

"Yes, I understand. I will protect myself."

"I'm counting on you tonight."

A gentle voice drifted over, but Xu Nan sensed something was off. This wasn't Melinda's voice! Could it be someone else?

Is tonight's situation a bit complicated?

The next second, the candles in the carriage were lit, the doors were closed, and a young girl with a face red from the cold carefully lifted her skirt and gracefully sat cross-legged on the edge of the carriage bed.

Xu Nan was now in a state of panic.

Who is this girl?

He had painstakingly crawled in, all ready to warm Melinda's bed, only to find himself replaced by an inconspicuous young girl.

Well, although she's prettier than Melinda, her status is definitely not as high as Melinda's!

Wouldn't that be going against my mission?

This is intolerable!

Xu Nan was about to make a run for it.

Before he could find a chance to leave the carriage, a fierce howling sound suddenly came from the dark snow-covered mountains!

To the soldiers' astonishment, the shadows of several ferocious beasts darted toward a carriage with lightning speed!

"Oh no! That's Knight Melinda's carriage!"

"Get out of the way! A griffin is attacking!"

"A large number of Long-haired Snow Monster have been discovered at the outer camp!"

The camp was immediately thrown into chaos.

The griffins charged ahead and, catching everyone off guard, lifted Melinda's carriage up. The two poor horses were torn in two by another griffin!

"Stop those griffins!"

A woman in a black cloak brandished a black sword, trying to stop the griffins from lifting the carriage.

However, it was all too late. Besides the seamless coordination of the griffins, a powerful enemy appeared before her.

Whoosh!

A ghostly shadow flashed past her.

The woman's voice sounded even hoarser, "The Ghost Lantern Society? You've actually made a comeback..."

Shadow chuckled and said no more.

The camp was in complete chaos.

Half-asleep, Qin Lele was startled awake. She opened the window and saw an empty carriage.

The carriage curtains were flung open, and a familiar face flashed by.

"Waaaaah!"

"What did Xu Nan do to you!?"

Qin Lele exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the carriage, the violent shaking rendered Xu Nan's invisibility spell ineffective!

He revealed himself immediately.

The girl screamed, but Xu Nan quickly covered her mouth!

She was a mage, but lacked combat experience and was very vulnerable when Xu Nan got close.

"No, Jiang... What's going on? Why are they attacking this carriage?"

As the two griffins slowly took off, the carriage, though distorted, at least stabilized.

Xu Nan forced herself to calm down.

The girl's body was trembling.

Looking down from the car window, the camp was in complete chaos, with a large number of Long-haired Snow Monster joining the battle, seemingly targeting the food; but Xu Nan could see clearly that the griffins, which were the main attacking force, had begun to quietly retreat!

This is an organized attack plot!

"I'm not with them." Seeing that the girl seemed to have calmed down a bit, Xu Nan released his hand from her mouth.

Because the carriage was tilted, the two were squeezed together. The girl's fragrance filled Xu Nan's nose, and he... just wanted to sneeze!

"You're Cheng Song... how did you end up in Knight Melinda's carriage?"

Evelyn was in a state of turmoil, but she managed to calm herself down and leaned against Xu Nan, her cheeks flushed.

"... Let's change the subject; this matter is a long story."

Xu Nan felt very embarrassed.

Evelyn looked at him intently, then suddenly realized something. "Cheng.Song? A name like that, are you from Earth?"

Xu Nan was somewhat surprised. This girl was quite knowledgeable; she even knew about Earth!

"I know a lot of people on Earth!"

Evelyn seemed to understand Xu Nan's gaze. "Are you Song Ying Elder Sister's friend?"

Xu Nan nodded slightly. "I guess so."

"These two griffins are here to capture you, aren't they?"

At this moment, Xu Nan's IQ also came online. Since this girl knew about Earth, her status must be quite high.

The enemy's feigned attack on the grain transport team was actually aimed at her!

Evelyn bit her lip. "That's true."

"It's actually Berserk Species griffin... It seems they really went to great lengths."

Xu Nan asked, "Why did they arrest you?"

Evelyn gave a bitter smile, "Simply because my name is Caesar..."

Upon hearing the name, Xu Nan chuckled:

"Your name is Caesar? What a coincidence, I know someone named Caesar too!"

"But the Caesar I know isn't a beautiful girl like you; he's a pathetic bald guy..."

...!
