Chapter 75 What I saw on the Road

The carriage drove neither fast nor slowly. It drove from the road next to the farm, passed through Dawn Town, and then continued through Duck City. The scenery along the way became more and more prosperous.

"Your Highness, do you remember Dark City? We have now reached the territory of Duke Dark." the messenger said.

"After Daybreak Town, you will reach Dark City. Of course I know this." Witte was a little surprised as to why the messenger would ask this.

"As you know, when I talked to you before, I felt like you had amnesia." The messenger sighed.

Amnesia! Werther exclaimed in his heart, how did the messenger see it! Was there something wrong with what he said or was his demeanor suspicious? However, he did not have amnesia, but traveled through time. Of course, he could not tell him this now.

The messenger added: "His Royal Highness seems confused, not about the future, but because he is confused about the past."

"Well, I guess so. I did forget something. If you find anything strange, please tell me."

"I will remind you, but why you lost your memory is really curious."

Werther wanted to end the topic as soon as possible, but the messenger seemed to be becoming more and more interested in the matter.

"Your Highness, what happened after you arrived in Daybreak Town made you look completely different from when you were in the palace before. Although I have not spoken to you before, when I went to the palace half a year ago, I was in the courtyard.

When I see you standing in front of your bedroom window looking out, you look like two different people then and now."

"Well, people always change. Maybe after experiencing some things, my demeanor and temperament also changed."

"So your memory has also been lost?" The messenger returned to this question.

"Uh, probably so."

"It's really strange."

The courier sighed with emotion, stopped talking, and concentrated on driving. Werther felt a little guilty when he asked him like this. He was so nervous that he was almost sweating just now for fear of revealing his secret. I have to say that this courier has really strong powers of observation.

Soon at noon, the messenger slowly stopped the carriage. He turned back to Werther and said: "Your Highness, look at the clock in the distance. It's already twelve o'clock. There happens to be a tavern nearby. Why don't we go in and have something to eat. Return.

It only takes two days to get to the palace, and we can't keep eating the food in the carriage, otherwise we will get tired of it."

"I was just about to tell you that I've been hungry for a long time." Werther smiled and touched his abdomen.

"However, Your Highness, the king only asked me to deliver the letter and pick you up. He does not intend to help you pay for the food you have on the road. He said that the money you spend on the road must come from your own hands." The messenger emerged from the carriage.

He jumped down and stopped the carriage by the roadside, "If you ask me, the king is really partial. He is very generous to the second prince and the third princess, but he is careless to you."

"Well, actually this is good..."

Werther curled his lips helplessly, thinking that it seemed that his father's attitude towards him had only warmed up a little, and not to the same level as towards his younger brothers and sisters. And the messenger even dared to say such a thing, he

It's also quite courageous.

Entering the tavern, Werther quickly ordered meat pie, lettuce and grape juice. The messenger thought for a long time, then looked at the food in front of Werther and said to the tavern owner: "I want the same food as him, but the pie."

Just half, plus half a loaf."

The messenger's food was quickly brought to the table. He smiled and said: "I just ate meat pie yesterday. I was afraid that I would get tired of it, so I only ordered half of it today and ate it with half of the bread."

"Well, speaking of bread." Witte's eyes suddenly lit up, "We are selling a new kind of bread in Daybreak Town recently, and it tastes quite good. I forgot to give it to you to try."

"Next time, there will definitely be a chance." The messenger smiled, "I believe that the king will gradually change his prejudice against you, and you will have more and more opportunities to go to the palace. I will come to pick you up then.

.”

Werther also smiled. Although this messenger was not very good at talking and sometimes his words made people feel uncomfortable, he did not look like a bad person and his demeanor was a bit simple.

After the two had lunch, they continued on their way.

When it was time for dinner, they were in a sparsely populated area, so they planned to eat the food in the carriage.

"Your Highness, can I have a meal with you in the carriage? It's a little cold outside after all." The messenger stood under the carriage window holding a piece of bread and dried fish and asked cautiously.

"Of course." Werther opened the car door for him.

After eating, the two rested for a while, and then the messenger began to drive on his way again. In the carriage, accompanied by the sound of the wheels turning, Werther fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he found that it was pitch black outside, and

The messenger is still driving on his way.

"Well, you should rest for a while."

"No, Your Highness, if I rest, I won't be able to send you to the palace in time. The king said that I must send you to the palace before two o'clock in the afternoon the day before the palace banquet."

"However, you will tire your body out like this. If you are too tired and lose your mind later, you will be in danger." Witte thought for a while and suggested, "I should have slept for a few hours just now, and I am still a little bit tired now."

Be careful, or you can sleep in the carriage and I will drive for you."

The messenger suddenly stopped the carriage and said in a happy voice: "Your Highness, you are so kind. I am very sleepy now. Let's change seats. Looking at the current sky, it should be around two o'clock in the morning. I will probably be there in the early morning.

When you wake up, Your Highness will return to the car and I will drive."

Werther narrowed his eyes helplessly, thinking, I didn't expect him to agree so quickly~ I thought he was going to give in to me for a while, Werther twitched his lips in surprise and helplessness.

Werther opened the door and walked out. The messenger also got off the ground, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned, then patted Werther on the shoulder, squinted his eyes and said vaguely: "Your Highness, I believe you can drive the carriage

Drive well."

"It's not difficult. I often use carriages in Daybreak Town. Sometimes my servant drives, and sometimes I drive."

"That's good. If His Highness encounters difficulties, remember to shake me awake."

"I got it."

After they exchanged positions, the messenger collapsed on the seat inside, quickly fell asleep, and began to snore. After hearing the snoring, Werther smiled, his eyebrows turned into an inverted figure, and said to himself: "It's like

A person like him must have no worries at all, and he can be regarded as a fool who is blessed, haha."

In the early morning, they changed positions again. The messenger yawned again and said: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was confused last night and actually let you drive. It's really rude."

"It's nothing. It depends on your state last night. If it's true

If you keep driving the carriage, we might end up in the river."

"Haha, Your Highness is such a good person." The messenger scratched the back of his head and laughed for a while.

The carriage drove for about half an hour before arriving at Peony City. Peony City is located above and west of Duck City, and its area is about a quarter of the size of Duck City.

When entering Peony City, the scenery became particularly beautiful, and Werther could not help but be attracted by the scenery.

In the evening, they arrived at the most beautiful town in Shaoyao City. The sunset in the distance was still dazzling. It had just snowed here, and the warm and beautiful buildings were covered in snow. Coupled with the setting sun in the distance, it looked more like a fairy tale.

, with full nobility, luxury and low-key, making people look very comfortable.

Many people had smiles on their faces and wore warm cloaks or cloaks. They were walking in the same direction on the street, talking constantly.

"Well, this town is so lively today, is there anything interesting going on?" Witte raised the curtains and asked the messenger while looking at the pedestrians in front of him.

"What did you say, Your Highness?" Perhaps because of the strong wind at this time, the messenger did not hear clearly what he just said.

He continued to drive the carriage smoothly on the road in the town, turned his head slightly, paid attention to the road ahead, and pointed his ears in the direction of Werther.

Werther had no choice but to ask again loudly: "I want to know why they are so happy. Is there something that makes people happy?"

"It turns out that His Highness wanted to ask about this." The messenger loudly replied, "I see that a clothing store has opened in front, and everyone is celebrating."

"It's just a clothing store, why is everyone's reaction so strong?" Witte asked doubtfully.

"I want to know too, Your Highness."

The messenger seemed to be very curious. At this time, the carriage had already driven in front of the clothing store. He slowly stopped the carriage and looked at the store with Werther. The store was beautifully decorated, with white walls, transparent glass, and a high-quality roof.

The tiles are quite large, and there are all kinds of beautiful clothes hanging in the windows.

Many people walked into the store in groups or alone and happily selected clothes. When they went out, they also received a small gift.

The messenger suddenly realized: "Your Highness, you see, this store seems to sell the most popular clothing at the moment, and the prices are affordable. On the first day of opening, it will randomly give out gifts to the people."

"So that's it." Witte looked at the small sign outside the store in surprise, "I saw it. It said on the outside of the store that beauty cream, cakes and cookies will be delivered immediately."

"It's a really nice shop." The messenger smiled. "I even want to buy a dress from there to bring to my sister. A dress made of good material here only sells for ten silver coins. It's really cheap."

In Notland, one silver coin is five copper coins, which is also fifty iron coins. Clothing that costs ten silver coins may be considered normal in Peony City, but it is considered very expensive in Daybreak Town. Witte thought about himself in Daybreak Town

The most expensive clothes in the tailor shops I saw in the town were only four silver coins, and most of them were priced from five iron coins to two silver coins.

Witte looked at the customers coming in and out, all holding gifts in their hands. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would cost a lot of money to give away so many things on the first day of opening. I have to say that Peony City

It's really prosperous, even better than the city of France in my impression.
