The dock area of Niceburg is still as busy as ever. At the berth of the South, the crew members are moving up and down the gangplank to carry things to the ship. They are about to set sail and return to Northwest Bay.
Several business representatives strolled slowly nearby, taking advantage of their last moments to feel the business atmosphere of this southern metropolis.
Mrs. Female Advisor Laddie, Mrs. Setia and Lisa, who was temporarily serving as a maid, walked over slowly carrying suitcases.
Next to the springboard, Captain Quirk is talking to Quiller Foster.
"Captain, my father is busy with official duties, so he had to send me to say goodbye to you. I apologize for not being able to come in person."
"No, no, Master Marquis treats us so warmly, I can't thank you enough."
Quirk knew that the other party was just being polite. He was a dignified Marquis, a big shot in the Council. How could he come to the dock to give him a small shrimp.
They took off their hats and greeted the Female Advisor family when they saw them arriving.
"Good morning, madam. Good morning, Miss Laddie, Miss Lisa."
Shelah responded with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Captain. We are finally setting sail."
"Yes, everyone is having a great time here, but once the return date is confirmed, everyone is eager to return home."
Quirk on the side also greeted them, and then stared at Laddie in wonder.
"I heard from Mr. Captain that Miss Laddie disguised herself as a man and went south on the ship. It's really unbelievable. How did such a delicate beauty dress up as a man?"
Facing this handsome young man, Laddie just smiled at him and walked onto the springboard.
Queller shrugged awkwardly. This Miss Laddie was relatively "silent" when she was in Lichman Adventurer Group. She had been in contact with the adventure group twice and hadn't said a word to him yet. Such a cold beauty actually took the initiative to stay in a place like the northwest as a consultant. My brother Paul is so lucky.
Quirk ordered several sailors to help the Laddie family place their luggage into the cabin. The three women came to the deck and looked at the sea under the sea breeze.
Lisa suddenly pointed to the shore. "There are many people coming over there."
Laddie Looking back, I saw a group of gorgeous carriages slowly approaching the South, surrounded by a large number of knights in armor.
"It's Eton Duchy. I'll go down and have a look."
She immediately returned to the shore, and soon the convoy was in front of her.
First, a group of guards quickly sealed off the surrounding area, and then an attendant opened the car door, and a tall man got out. He was handsome, with curly brown hair, and exuded a luxurious temperament.
Quiller Foster's mouth on the side almost turned into an O-shape in surprise, and his face was full of incredible expressions.
Then he quickly grabbed Quirk's clothes with an expression of betrayal and anger.
"Captain Quirk, can you explain to me? Is Arda going to ignore the contract with the Foster Family and change its agent in Jiaowan?"
"No, no, no, how could it be? I did not do such a thing, and the lord did not authorize me to do so."
Quirk hurriedly explained, but Queller said to the man who just got off the car, "Then why did Eton Duchy's Grand Duke Your Majesty come to you?"
"What? He is Eton Grand Duke? No wonder he is so impressive."
Quirk immediately understood what was going on and whispered to Queller, "Master Foster, you misunderstood. They are here to find Miss Laddie. His wife is Miss Laddie's senior or someone else."
"His wife? Oh... you mean Helen Grand Duchess?"
The second young master of the Foster family is even more incredible. The taciturn Female Advisor is actually related to Eton Grand Duchess?
"However, we did meet Grand Duchess. Do you remember that night when the wolf howled?"
"Remember, you could hear it even at our house, and it disturbed me so much that I couldn't sleep well all night."
"That night, Miss Laddie and Grand Duchess were walking at night outside the city, and they happened to encounter a pack of wolves. I led people to pick them up. I have to say that these two people are so beautiful, but they have a lot of skills. They killed several wolves before we arrived.. Oh, I heard that Miss Laddie was an adventurer before, so it must not be difficult to kill a few wolves. It was really thrilling that night. The wolves howling around us made our mouths dry. If we didn't have fire... well, if we didn't bring a lot of torches, we would be in trouble."
"What, you didn't call me for such an exciting thing? You guys are really not friends enough!"
Queller complained with a look of sorrow and anger.
The captain was speechless for a while. What was going on in this young master's mind? Others would be afraid to avoid this kind of thing.
While the two were talking, Eton Grand Duke helped his wife - Helen Grand Duchess out of the carriage.
Laddie bowed slightly to greet them.
"Your Majesty, good day, senior sister."
The Grand Duke raised his hand. "Miss Gerard, I remember that the last time we met was at Finnie's birthday party, right? There is no need to be polite between us. Although we don't meet often, based on the relationship between you and Helen, you can be said to be one of our own."
Helen stepped forward and Laddie gave him a hug.
"That's right, you just treat him as a brother."
The Grand Duke said slightly apologetically, "I came here this time to express my gratitude to you. Without you, Finnie, I and my country would be in huge trouble. I have been busy with various meetings in the past few days, and I am really sorry that I did not express my gratitude in person at the first time."
Laddie shook his head. "The Grand Duke's words are serious. Finnie is like my biological sister. It is natural for me to do my best."
The Grand Duke said some words of thanks again, then raised his head and said loudly in Aldo Language: "I have another purpose for coming here this time - to thank Aldo all the warriors who came, thank you for rescuing my family from the evil wolf."
The sailors watching the excitement on and off the ship all turned their attention to Captain Quirk, waiting for his decision.
"Damn! Why are you looking at me?"
Quirk suddenly panicked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
A Grand Duchess had already made him unable to speak well, and he was caught off guard by another grand duke. This was the true head of a country, a figure comparable to a king, and his temperament did not seem to be as talkative as the old man from the Foster family.
Laddie whispered to the Grand Duke:
"Ahem, Your Majesty. They have never seen someone with your status before, so they don't know how to deal with it. Please forgive me. The one with the beard over there is Captain Quirk. Please follow me."
The Grand Duke smiled and nodded, "Haha, is that so? I understand, let's go over."
He and his wife followed Laddie towards Quirk.
Helen held her husband's arm, pinched his arm hard, covered her face with a fan and whispered, "Be more approachable!"
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly, "I know, my dear."
