Chapter 50 - Leave



Chapter 50: Chapter 50 – Leave

Autumn leaves fell, and another season passed.

Two months had passed, and soon, the effects of Princess Olivia’s return had disappeared.

The Kutu Royal City seemed to have gone back to how it was like before, and it became much more peaceful.

Apart from a minority of people, Princess Olivia’s return did not affect many people’s lives.

For most people, it didn’t matter if the ruler was Princess Olivia or someone else.

What they were focused on was struggling to live each day.

Of course, that was just for the majority of commoners.

For people like Chen Heng, people like Princess Olivia were worth paying attention to.

As such, Chen Heng would pay particular attention to whatever Princess Olivia did, and he thought about the situation in the Kutu Royal City.

However, he was surprised to find that Princess Olivia’s return did not cause very big changes.

How things were before, they were the same now.

It looked like there were no changes, as if Princess Olivia had just come back to see her relatives.

However, Chen Heng felt that the situation was not that simple.

Just because things were peaceful on the surface did not mean they really were like that.

He did not have access to much information, but he knew that there were raging undercurrents under the calmness.

However, currently, Chen Heng did not care about this, as he had sensed something bad.

“Kailin, are you really going to leave?”

Outside the residence, Krudo looked at Chen Heng with surprise, “It’s getting colder, and it’s not very suitable for traveling right now.”

“I don’t have any choice.”

Standing in front of Krudo, Chen Heng had a slight smile as he said, “My father is waiting for me at home. I agreed that I would go back to visit him, and I don’t want to break my promise.”

“I see…” Krudo understood and said, “It’s a pity, after you leave, I won’t have anyone to train with me.”

“You can go and find Kelly and the others,” Chen Heng said, “Even though Kelly isn’t a Knight, his sword skills are not bad. After I leave, you can go to find him.”

“He wouldn’t pay attention to a country bumpkin like me,” a condescending look appeared on Krudo’s face, “Moreover, I’m not interested in weak fellows like him.”

“You…”

Looking at Krudo, Chen Heng shook his head.

“When do you leave? I’ll send you part of the way,” Krudo asked seriously.

“That would be good,” Chen Heng smiled, “Now that it’s getting colder, I’m sure there will be more bandits trying to stock up for winter. Things will be better with you escorting me.”

Hearing this, Krudo could not help but laugh, “Who would dare to try to rob a Knight?”

“You never know…” Chen Heng replied. They chatted for a while before they both left.

After a few moments, Chen Heng looked at Krudo’s leaving figure and thought back to the letter that Kelly had sent over, and he thought to himself.

After Princess Olivia had returned, he had been paying attention to the Kutu Royal City’s situation.

Even though it was not evident on the surface, after Princess Olivia had returned, the situation in the Kutu Royal City had become more tense.

This tension was because of Princess Olivia’s return and the King falling unconscious again.

Recently, there were rumors that the Prince, Grith, was also preparing to return.

This continuous news caused Chen Heng to feel quite wary.

From how things seemed, as time went on, the situation in the Kutu Royal City would become more and more intense.

When that time came, the presently-peaceful status quo would most likely be broken.

After Chen Heng sensed this, he decided to think about retreating.

If he was one of those high-level figures, he might be able to try to see if he could gain any benefits from the present situation.

However, he did not have anything apart from his fighting prowess; he did not have the resources or rights to gain from this.

To him, the current situation was incredibly dangerous.

Moreover, his friend Kelly had also sent him a letter.

The letter was quite ordinary, but it hid a warning to Chen Heng to watch out for his safety.

This letter made Chen Heng decide to leave the Kutu Royal City for now and return to his family.

It also just so happened that he still had some unresolved matters at home, so he could deal with them at the same time.

He did some simple packing and had his servants pack some other things to send to him before leaving.

The place he went after this was Kelly’s residence.

“They’re all not here?”

After reaching Kelly’s residence and hearing the old butler’s reply, Chen Heng could not help but inwardly frown.

He had come to say goodbye to Kelly, as well as to see Verna.

Over the past two months, he had come here many times to visit Verna.

During those times, Verna had always been at the residence, but she was not here today.

“Please convey these things to Miss Verna.”

He turned and looked at the old butler with a courteous smile as he said, “I’m going to leave for some time, and I hope that we will be able to see each other again when I return. This is my letter for her; please make sure you give it to her.”

He was extremely polite and handed the letter to the old butler.

The old butler respectfully received it and stressed to Chen Heng that he would definitely pass it to Miss Venra.

After this, Chen Heng left.

He walked along a narrow and long path and reached the outside road—his carriage was waiting there.

Standing there, Chen Heng’s figure was tall and straight, and he looked incredibly valiant.

He looked to the side in a certain direction for a long time.

“What is it, sir?” The driver of the carriage felt quite confused.

“It’s nothing.” Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he looked away and got on the carriage.

Following this, they quickly left.

After they left, there was some noise from the direction that Chen Heng had been looking in.

A few people wearing leather armor appeared, gasping for breath; their bodies were covered with sweat.

“Damnit, damnit.”

Looking at the departing carriage, some of them felt quite terrified, “He definitely noticed us.”

“Such acute senses just aren’t natural.”

……

“What should we do?”

Someone asked, “Should we give chase?”

“You don’t want to live anymore?”

The leader’s expression was gloomy, “We’ll report of him coming here; everything else has nothing to do with us. Our task list doesn’t include becoming enemies with a quasi-Knight…”

“Those people…”

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng thought to himself, “Were they Princess Olivia’s people?”

Just as he considered this possibility, he rejected it.

Those people contained some hostility towards him. If they were Princess Olivia’s people, they would not have given off such a feeling.

After all, there was no conflict between him and Princess Olivia.

Moreover, even if Knight Mader resented him, he would not go and find a group of people like this to follow him.

Then were they from a different faction?

Who were they targeting? Kelly, Verna, or him?

Chen Heng continued to think to himself.

He now concluded that his decision to leave was correct.

As time passed, who knew what would happen in the Kutu Royal City?

Time gradually passed.

Over the next few days, Chen Heng paid visits to his friends in the Kutu Royal City and told them of his trip.

He did not actually have that many friends, but visiting them each of them took up a lot of his time.

Only after a few days did he set out.
