Chapter 172

The leader of the Kadi Tribe Brali, came to the Desinia Territory with the intention of capturing Cyrus.

However, before he could visit Par Mountain, he met the other party first in Komoy Fort.

At that time, Brali heard that the Rose Clock Tower in Komoy Fort was a famous landmark in the area, so he couldn't resist going to take a look after entering the city.

His carriage stopped not far from the clock tower.

From here you can see the overall appearance of the Rose Clock, which stands tall and imposing, with the top clock slowly ticking on a rose-shaped dial, surrounded by a profusion of flowers.

A melodious female voice came from inside the carriage. "I heard that the rose gardens around this clock were all planted by the people of the city themselves for the Lord of Desinia."

"Not only that, but all the roses in Komoy Fort and Visas are too... I've wanted to see a city in full bloom for a long time, but..."

"It's not too late to look now," Brali said. "Shall we move closer?"

"."

As soon as the voice faded, a slender, fair hand lifted the curtain, and Shamir stepped down from the carriage.

She wore a wide-brimmed hat that shielded her from the gaze of others, a soft silk scarf around her neck that partially covered her face, and long, flowing silver-white hair cascading down her back. Her pink eyes gazed at the Rose Clock Tower.

Even with her face slightly obscured, her rare fair complexion and shapely figure still attracted a lot of attention.

Shortly afterward, Brali, accompanied by Black Panther Sachi, approached the clock.

The Kadi Tribe and the Desinia Territory are two completely different places.

In Brali's view, their Cardy was probably the hottest place on the entire Western Continent, with more than half the year being extremely hot, followed by three or four months of mild weather, after which the temperature would drop and become cold, but this would pass quickly.

Furthermore, the Kadi Tribe is situated in a vast mountainous and hilly area, surrounded by forests and rivers. Although their houses are of varying heights, they have never had a building as tall as the Rose Clock.

Even setting aside their architecture, the lifestyle of the Kadi Tribe is vastly different from that of the Desinia Territory or the Saint Airo Empire.

Their primary source of food is hunting, as there are abundant resources, plump game, and seasonal vegetation around Cardy.

[Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has multiple reading sources, various voice options, and works on both Android Apple.]

Their hunting partners are leopards, and among them, the black leopard is the most revered.

Before reaching adulthood, the tribal chief must possess his own black panther and maintain a close bond with it.

As Brali thought of this, he couldn't help but pat Sachi, who was standing obediently beside him, but his mind was on the furry creatures that the Lord of Desinia owned.

That's so enviable!

How could the Lord of Desinia possess so many furry beasts, each one more powerful and enormous than the last, and more importantly, incredibly intelligent?

This inevitably made Brali a little envious.

He thought that if Lord Desinia had been born in the Kadi Tribe, he would undoubtedly be the tribal chief, and even if he went to Cardy now, he would certainly receive the highest honors from Cardy.

In Cardy, the brave are the most respected.

The sudden appearance of a black panther within the city of Komoy Fort naturally attracted some attention.

The people were not alarmed because they sometimes encountered the lord's furry companions.

However, the person beside this black panther was clearly not the lord, and their clothing and appearance were quite different from those in the Desinia Territory... They were obviously from the north.

So the passersby told the soldiers patrolling the city about it, and the soldiers then reported it to Cyrus's carriage.

When Cyrus brought Judas to the Rose Clock, they heard the words of praise from the heroine of the original book.

"I've heard that there are special orphanages, schools, and hospitals in this city... I'd love to see them all."

"Brali, the Lord of Desinia is truly a kind and capable person." Shamir bit her lip lightly, her pink eyes revealing admiration and affection.

Cyrus coughed lightly and walked over.

The two turned around at the sound; Brali looked surprised, Shamir's eyes lit up with delight.

"Lord of Desinia, what are you doing here...?" Brali assumed the lord was on Par Mountain.

Cyrus briefly explained that he had left Par Mountain to see Prince Cavendish off, and that he had stopped to check on the black panther he encountered while passing through Komoy Fort.

As expected, the leader of the Kadi Tribe arrived.

He glanced at Brali, then subtly swept his gaze over Shamir Phoebe.

It's unclear where Shamir Phoebe hid after running away on the eve of her wedding, but she somehow ran into Brali, the chief of the Kadi Tribe, who then escorted her to Desinia...

Could it be that Brali, the third male supporting character in the original book, has become mentally impaired due to the female lead's halo?!

Doesn't Brali foresee the consequences of bringing Shamir to the Desinia Territory?!

Putting aside the fact that Warner. is still sending people to search for Shamir's whereabouts.

After encountering the stranger, Brali should have immediately sent Shamir to King Warner, instead of taking her away from the Saint Airo Empire.

Shamir Phoebe is now, in name and in reality, the King's fiancée. The engagement ceremony has already taken place, and she will one day become the Queen of the Empire.

Despite his extraordinary background, Brali brought this man to the Desinia Territory without his knowledge...

This has caused Cyrus some trouble.

So, before the two could speak, he said, "So, the leader has found Miss Phoebe's whereabouts, but couldn't contact King Warner in time, which is why you came to Par Mountain to seek my help?"

"As you know, I have a Gyrfalcon with extremely fast flight speed, which can travel back and forth between the Desinia Territory and the Saint Airo Empire in a single day."

"I can help the leader send a message to King Warner and dispatch a fleet to escort Miss Phoebe back to the Saint Airo Empire."

"..."

Brali was stunned.

No, that's not what he meant.

He hasn't said a word yet.

Before leaving the Saint Airo Empire, Brali accidentally discovered that Miss Phoebe was secretly hiding on his ship. He wanted to send her away, but he couldn't resist Shamir's persistent pleas.

She hoped that Brali could send her to the Desinia Territory.

Brali, a young girl, was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face as she agreed.

Now, upon arriving at the Lord of Desinia, Brali recounted the events to him.

"And then?" Cyrus asked calmly.

Brali: "What, and then..."

Ignoring Shamir lip, Cyrus asked, "You sent Miss Phoebe to my territory, and then what do you plan to do?"

"Just leaving? Going back to your tribe?!"

"You should know Miss Phoebe's identity, and you also know that she ran away before her wedding ceremony with King Warner."

"She is now on my territory..."

"If this matter cannot be clearly explained, and some misunderstanding arises... Chief Brali, may I then take you to King Warner and ask you to explain things to me?"

Not to mention, before the wedding of the male and female protagonists in the original book, the female protagonist and he had a little "rumor" circulating in the capital of the empire.

Those in the Saint Airo Empire, unaware that Shamir was within the Desinia Territory, would be unsure how to fabricate a story.

Upon hearing this, Brali's expression changed, and then he looked guilty.

Shamir's eyes were filled with tears; her initial joy had turned into resentment.

She couldn't help but whisper, "I'm sorry, I... I just wanted to come and take a look... I didn't think much of it."

"My lord, please don't blame Chief Brali. I begged him to come..."

The female protagonist in the original book is kind, innocent, and cute, but Cyrus always thinks that the opposite of being innocent and cute is being naive.

Although it's not a serious illness, it's still a headache.

Especially when her clueless boyfriend is herself...

Shamir started crying, Brali frantically tried to comfort her.

Cyrus suppressed the urge to sigh and said, "Miss Phoebe, have you considered what your father, Marquis Galli, will do after you run away before the wedding?"

"He might very well take the blame for the king's wrath on your behalf."

Moreover, this wedding not only invited the empire's royal family and nobles, but also distinguished guests from other countries and territories.

The male protagonist in the original book has probably lost all face to the point that everyone knows about it...

Anyone would be furious.

Of course, if Warner, the male protagonist in the original book, were magnanimous enough, he could have acted as if nothing had happened after finding Shamir and still held a wedding with her.

Hmm... that's quite possible.

Shamir lowered her head in shame at Cyrus's words.

She really acted on impulse; she didn't think much of it at all...

Before the wedding, she was very unwilling to become the king's queen.

This wedding was not the outcome she wanted.

So, Shamir couldn't help but run away.

After escaping, she began to immerse herself in a small sense of excitement and exhilaration at finally breaking free from etiquette and rebelling against the shackles imposed upon her by her father and the king...

Her heart was filled with the joy of being able to come to the Desinia Territory, and it still is now...

Brali apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't think this through."

Cyrus nodded. "Alright, since everyone knows they were wrong, I will immediately send a letter to King Warner explaining the whole story, and promptly dispatch a fleet to escort Miss Phoebe away..."

Before he could finish speaking, tears began to fall from Shamir's face again.

Shamir sobbed, "I... I really don't want to marry the king. Even if the lord doesn't want me to stay here, please don't tell the king about me..."

She understood—her father was a marquis, and now he was of great use to the king; the king would not hold a grudge against her father.

"No." Cyrus said coldly and ruthlessly.

Is there something wrong with you?

The female lead in the original book actually doesn't want to marry the male lead anymore...

No, not getting married is even worse.

Cyrus glanced at the Plot Deviation Value in the upper right corner of the system interface and thought to herself, "As long as the male and female protagonists in the original book don't get married, the deviation value might immediately increase a little."

He then said, "I must now return to Par Mountain to write a letter, but you may leave on your own. The fleet that traveled from the Saint Airo Empire to here will take at least half a month."

"During this period... it's up to you."

Brali's expression brightened.

Shamir hadn't even realized what was happening when she was immediately pulled away by Brali.

"Sachi, come quick, we're leaving!"

Black Panther Sachi lazily swung its tail and followed. When it passed Cyrus, the big black panther stopped and looked at him with its golden eyes, just like Black Sugar's. The tip of its tail quietly circled Cyrus's ankle.

"Ouch."

"..."

Cyrus couldn't resist stroking the fur on the head of the black panther, Sachi.
