Chapter 254

From this day on, Liz began to frequently appear in the arena outside the gate of Franzel's villa, challenging Li Ge time and time again.

Even if Li Ge doesn't give up the right of first move, doesn't show mercy, and defeats him with a flash of thunder, this little princess will continue to appear the next day, attacking Li Ge firmly and tenaciously.

This made Liz start to accumulate a lot of popularity.

Originally, as Her Royal Highness who lived in seclusion on weekdays, although Liz became famous after becoming a true swordsman, there were very few people who had seen her, even her brothers and sisters rarely saw her, let alone outsiders up.

Therefore, Liz's aboveboard appearance did not reveal her identity. Except for some well-informed nobles who knew through various channels that this girl swordsman was the kingdom's nine princesses, the rest only regarded Liz as a fledgling swordsman. scholar.

However, Liz's display and performance in the ring changed many people's views on this weak-looking girl swordsman.

Her superior swordsmanship, dreamlike beauty, and incongruous figure made many swordsmen and even civilians completely become her supporters and fans.

As a result, in just a few days, Liz achieved a popularity and reputation comparable to Li Ge, the youngest swordsman ever, and attracted countless people to come to see her appearance, which indirectly promoted Li Ge Ge's arena has become two or three times more lively than before.

This is a development that Li Ge did not expect, and it is also probably a development that Liz did not expect.

Sometimes, when she failed in the challenge, she just wanted to leave dejectedly, but just after she got off the ring, she was suddenly surrounded by countless people, which frightened the little princess very much.

Some noble children even had bright eyes after seeing Liz, and they did not hide the desire in their eyes at all. When Liz left, they even led people to follow. It is well known what the plan was, but these The people disappeared completely the next day, and even their families were suppressed inexplicably. They were either demoted from their titles or paid a high price. What's more, some were charged with some crimes overnight and sent to prison , causing quite a disturbance in the capital.

Some nobles who were not aware of Liz's identity realized that the girl swordsman's origins might not be simple, so they strictly restrained their bohemian second-generation ancestors, not allowing them to offend Liz casually.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Li Ge.

Li Ge only felt a headache.

The little princess relentlessly challenged her every day, and after she was defeated, she left dejectedly, and then came back tenaciously and resolutely the next day. Li Ge naturally knew exactly what her intention was.

Obviously, the little princess has not given up yet, or the royal family has not taken back their orders from her, and still wants her to be their attendant.

However, this little princess seemed to be at a loss. She neither harassed Li Ge nor begged aloud. Instead, she challenged silently, and left silently after failing. Depressed and left, this time twice is okay, Li Ge can still be ruthless, but after more times, he really can't bear it.

Once, Li Ge even found that the little princess's hands were bleeding out, as if she had undergone very intensive sword training.

Obviously, every time Liz fails to challenge and leaves, she will go back to practice hard, and the training level is too high.

This made Li Ge frown, only to feel more headache.

After half a month like this, Li Ge finally couldn't bear it, and stopped Liz after a challenge.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Ge said that to Liz.

Regarding this, Liz just held the sword, lowered her head, and said something in a very low voice.

"I only know how to swing a sword, and I can only swing a sword."

With just this one sentence, Li Ge was speechless.

Undoubtedly, the royal family did not take back their orders, allowing Liz to continue to work hard to become Rieger's attendant.

But Liz didn't know what to do to succeed, and she was not good at speaking. Feeling helpless, she could only choose to work hard in the way she was best at and most familiar with.

She only knows how to wield a sword, and she only knows how to wield a sword.

Therefore, she can only be like this, insisting on challenging Li Ge every day, going back to continue practicing swords if she loses, and continuing to come back to challenge after practicing, going round and round, persevering, tenacious and tenacious.

Undoubtedly, it's clumsy.

There is no doubt that this is stupid.

But there was only so much she could do, and only so much she could think of.

Li Ge couldn't describe his mood at this moment, so he could only sigh and directly ended today's challenge in the arena.

After returning to the mansion, Li Ge walked in the corridor, frowning all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, he bumped into someone at the corner of the corridor.

"Mr. Rieger."

Marilyn, pushing the tea trolley, appeared from the corner, and saluted slightly to Li Ge.

"Marilyn?" Li Ge came back to his senses, saw Marilyn, nodded, and said, "Did you come out of the office?"

"Yes." Marilyn said flatly: "The tea is running out, and the eldest lady is just concentrating on her work. I want to wash all the tea sets, so I came out."

Rieger understands.

Just when Li Ge thought the topic was over and the two should separate, Marilyn suddenly said something.

"Do you have time now?"

Li Ge was slightly taken aback by Marilyn's sudden question.

"Yes, yes." Li Ge said, "Why? Is there something I need to do?"

"No." Marilyn shook her head and said, "I just want to say, if you have time, would you like to accompany me?"

Li Ge's expression became weird.

What does it mean?

Is this woman trying to tease me?

Li Ge had no choice but to be so skeptical.

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Ge knew that this maid didn't seem to like him very much.

The evidence is that this maid will often stare at herself behind Yuli's back. Although it can't be said that she looks bitter and bitter, the unhappiness in her eyes can be seen.

This maid was usually taciturn, and she was as cold as ice to everyone except Yuli.

Now, when the other party suddenly said such a thing, Li Ge couldn't help but think about it.

Perhaps Marilyn also realized that, after seeing Li Ge's strange expression, she finally glared at him again.

"I just want to talk to you about Her Royal Highness Liz."

Marilyn explained why.

"she?"

Li Ge showed a dazed expression, and even the eyes he looked at Marilyn became meaningful.

Would you actually talk to yourself alone about the matter of the princess?

It seems that this maid is really...

"Are you still not going to accept Her Highness Liz as an attendant?"

When Li Ge confirmed a certain fact, Marilyn asked him this question.

Li Ge looked up at Marilyn, and found that she was still expressionless, as if she was talking about a stranger.

This made Li Ge ponder for a while, and then he spoke.

"I've already said that I don't have any plans to accept attendants, and I don't want to be bound by some inexplicable constraints."

Li Ge has always said so, and has always thought so.

In fact, the main reason is the latter.

"I don't like the feeling of using a contract to enforce what I should do and what I shouldn't do." Li Ge shook his head and said, "So, I don't plan to talk to that young man. The princess concludes a servant contract."

Originally, in this life, Li Ge had already made up his mind that he would no longer live by the rules, but would walk freely on the path he had decided on.

Under such circumstances, the royal family wanted to restrain him with a contract, preventing him from doing anything, which made Li Ge instinctively resist.

Marilyn didn't quite understand Li Ge's thoughts.

"The royal family probably just wants you to make a promise like 'not to harm the kingdom', this shouldn't be such a harsh condition, right? Marilyn said: "Does Mr. Li Ge think that he will become an enemy of the kingdom in the future?" "

"Who knows?" Li Ge didn't deny it, and said, "At least, these so-called royal nobles haven't done anything that I like so far. Who knows if they will do something to eat in the future? ?”

At that time, Li Ge might really become an enemy of this country.

And if someone thinks that with the existence of the contract, they will not be disadvantageous to the kingdom, they can test their bottom line crazily, and do things they shouldn't do to themselves, then Li Ge will definitely not bear it.

In view of this, for Li Ge, such a contract is just a thing that restricts personal freedom and gives others the right to act recklessly against him.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to agree to such a contract, let alone that the other party still uses a clumsy and poor princess as a bargaining chip.

They probably felt that they had paid a high price, and that even their own princess was offered to serve as Li Ge's attendant, which was enough sincerity.

But, have they considered Liz's feelings?

What they are selling is Liz's freedom, and what they are selling is others, not themselves. This kind of behavior of buying and selling others as their own property does not want Li Ge to have a good impression of them.

Therefore, although Li Ge couldn't bear Liz's tenacity and hard work, he still didn't think about accepting her. He just thought about whether he should warn the royal family face to face and make them give up.

"..."

Knowing Li Ge's thoughts, Marilyn seemed to have nothing to say.

Seeing this, Li Ge asked instead.

"In your opinion, is this an acceptable thing?" Li Ge looked at Marilyn and said, "If you were the princess, the royal family asked you to be someone else's attendant to achieve their goals , would you be willing?"

Li Ge's inquiry made Marilyn silent for a long time.

After a long time, Marilyn said something indifferently.

"If it were me, I would wish for it."
