Chapter 194: Identity Exposed
Before Winnie landed, Angelica flew quickly from below on her Pegasus and reached out to catch her.
Then, Angelica controlled the Pegasus to climb higher and flew with Winnie to find a place to land.
After an unknown amount of time, Winnie drowsily opened her eyes and found Angelica sitting beside her, watching over her, and the Pegasus was peacefully eating grass in the back.
“Oh, you’re finally awake.”
Angelica said lightly.
“Whoa—it’s over!”
Winnie sat up suddenly, covering her face and crying bitterly.
“I’m going to be caught and sold again. This time I may never see the Lord again. Wuwuwu——”
“Is it okay to slander the person who saved you like this?”
Angelica frowned and said unhappily.
“If I really intended to capture you and sell you, you should be tied up by now.”
Hearing this, Winnie stopped crying immediately and looked at her hands and feet. They were indeed not tied up. Perhaps the other party really didn’t mean that.
Moreover, apart from the dull pain in her forehead, there was no other injury anywhere on his body.
Winnie still remembered that she had hit a huge tree. It was impossible to fall from such a height without getting hurt.
“Did you… save me?”
She asked.
“Of course.”
Angelica spread her hands.
“Who else could have saved you besides me?”
“Isn’t there still the horse behind?”
Angelica reached out and flicked Winnie’s forehead, saying.
“It’s my Pegasus mount, and it only obeys my orders.”
“Ah! It hurts!”
Raising her hand to cover her forehead that was hit, Winnie glared at the other person resentfully.
“Bad guy.”
She muttered softly.
Even so, Angelica heard this and pretended to be angry.
“What did you say?”
Seeing this, Winnie quickly closed her mouth, shook her head continuously, and made “hmmmm” sounds, as if to say “I didn’t say anything.”
“Never mind.”
Let this little matter pass. Angelica was a little concerned about another thing, which was the “Lord” that Winnie mentioned.
“I remember you just said, ‘I can’t see the Lord anymore.’ What’s going on? Are you a pet kept by a human lord?”
“I’m not a pet!”
Hearing this, Winnie angrily retorted.
“I’m employed by the Lord. I have flight training and work to do, and I get paid every month!”
“Oh? Working under a human lord is interesting.”
Angelica couldn’t help but curl her lips as she asked curiously.
“Could the lord you’re talking about be the lord of Bianshu Town—Marquis Owen Eisen?”
“So you know the Lord?!”
Winnie’s eyes widened in shock at first, and then she was delighted. Since the other party knew the lord, it meant that she should not be a bad person.
“Well, sort of.”
Angelica had heard of Owen’s deeds a long time ago. Thanks to his efforts, the people of Bianshu Town accepted the Lizardmen and lived in harmony with them.
Now it seems that it is not just the Lizardmen, but even this sub-human race that has never been seen before can work under humans.
No wonder the Holy Church of Caleb attaches so much importance to Bianshu Town. Angelica finally understood.
Come to think of it, I haven’t asked the other person’s name or ethnicity yet.
Thinking of this, Angelica asked.
“My name is Angelica Shia, and I’m a Pegasus Knight from the Holy Kingdom of Caleb. Can you tell me your name and race?”
“My name is Winnie, from the Winged Tribe.”
Winnie answered honestly.
“Oh, I’llI remember that.”
Next, Angelica stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust behind her, and looked down at Winnie.
“It’s getting late. Are you planning to return to Bianshu Town? I also have a mission to see Marquis Eisen. Why don’t we go together?”
“Okay, let’s fly back together.”
Winnie quickly stood up and stretched the wings behind her.
…
After arriving at Bianshu Town, Angelica did not find a place to stay directly in the castle courtyard like Winnie did, but landed in front of the castle gate in an orderly manner.
Trespassing into someone else’s yard without permission would damage the reputation of the Pegasus Knight, and she would never do such a thing.
That being said, the castle’s gate guards had never seen a flying horse.
When Pegasus just landed, they were so frightened that they stood there in a daze, and even forgot to ask each other’s purpose. It was only after Angelica reminded them that they reacted.
Owen first learned from Winnie that a Pegasus Knight had flown from the Holy Kingdom of Caleb to find him, and quickly ordered the person to be brought to the hall.
After a while, Angelica was brought into the hall.
Stopping in front of Owen, she gave a chivalric salute.
“Marquis Owen Eisen, I, Angelica Shia, send my greetings to you on behalf of His Holiness the Pope.”
When he first saw Angelica, Owen was also stunned by her beauty. Her face seemed to be carefully carved, extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and her figure was perfect and well-proportioned.
Mapel and Theresa were both rare beauties, but in front of Angelica, they could only sigh in inferiority.
“Ahem, Lord Owen.”
Mapel on the side pretended to cough, and seemed to be very jealous.
“Oh!”
Owen quickly put on a solemn face to cover up his distraction and replied.
“Thank you for the Pope’s greetings. Angelica Shia, why did you come to Bianshu Town to see me this time?”
“By order of His Holiness the Pope, I am here to protect your safety, Marquis Eisen, and prevent you from being assassinated.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present became serious.
Especially Mapel, she had subconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of the sword. Someone wanted to assassinate Owen? She would never allow this to happen.
“Huh?!”
Winnie was also surprised and asked.
“Why kill the Lord? The Lord is obviously a good man.”
“Assassination…”
Owen frowned slightly.
“Who wants to kill me? Could it be… the new King White Wells, who just held his coronation ceremony recently?”
“Yes, His Holiness the Pope also heard the rumors circulating in the kingdom. After high-level discussions, he decided to send me here,” Angelica said.
The rumor actually spread to the Holy Kingdom of Caleb, and Owen didn’t know what to say.
However, the church actually sent the Pegasus Knight here, which shows how much they value me.
Just as he was about to speak, Owen caught a glimpse of a small figure running excitedly into the hall not far away, followed closely by another person.
“Brother Owen, I’m back!”
“Euchina, don’t run around. Lord Owen seems to be meeting a guest.”
It turned out that Euchina had returned from school, and the person following behind her was Theresa.
But it was this scene that made Owen’s heart suddenly rise to his throat.
Angelica glanced back, suddenly alert, drew the long sword at her waist, and rushed towards Euchina.
“Wait!”
Owen shouted, standing up suddenly.
Mapel immediately drew her sword, but she was too far away from Euchina to stop Angelica in time.
“Ah——”
Winnie screamed.
“Don’t!”
In a hurry, Theresa could only speed up and run over.
Bang——
Fortunately, Angelica did not kill her directly, but rushed to Euchina and pointed the sword at her.
Although Euchina had been living comfortably in the castle recently, once she sensed danger, she subconsciously assumed a fighting stance, sprouting her fangs and rapidly extending her nails.
Staring at Euchina who had revealed her true form, Angelica said.
“You really are a vampire.”
