Chapter 409 Escort (5)

The butler gave a bow and said, "There was a pond found not far from here. I'm sure that will be the perfect place for an after meal rest."

The princess gave a nod and then turned to me to say, "Count Zwein, shall we go and walk around the pond?"

I shook my head as I said, "Young miss, shouldn't we finish his highness' request? If we keep wasting time like this, I'm afraid that it'll be dark soon."

The princess just casually said with a smile, "There's no need to rush for this matter. Fourth…His highness will understand if there is some delay."

The tone that she said this with made it clear that she was absolutely certain of this.

Of course, she was qualified to say that since she was the princess.

If there was anyone that could say that about the king and the fourth prince, it was her.

But of course this wasn't what I wanted…

I was about to say something, but before I could say anything, the butler suddenly turned to look at me.

He was positioned behind the princess so that she wasn't able to see him.

The way that he was looking at me…was just like the way that the black clothed figure had looked at me before.

It was as if he was threatening me to go along with this…

If I had to guess, it was most likely this butler who had called that blacked clothed person just now to stop me from going to search for the herbs.

It was clear that the princess was well guarded, so why did she need me as an escort?

The more that I learned about this, the more confused I became.

But it also wasn't the time to be thinking about that.

The butler was still looking at me, waiting for my response.

I could feel the sense of danger coming from this butler, showing that he wasn't a normal person.

If I had to guess…he was most likely some kind of secret assassin that had been trained by the fourth prince.

That was usually what the secret identities of butlers like this in novels were.

And he had been trusted to guard the princess, so there was no doubt that he was capable.

Since he was threatening me…there was nothing that I could do.

I gave a sigh and said, "Young miss, how about we go and check out that pond?"

The princess suddenly looked up at me and said, "Really? You really want to go?"

I gave a bitter laugh deep down.

Even if I said that I didn't want to go, was there such a choice for me?

With the way that the butler was looking at me, there was only one real answer for me.

I just gave a slow nod without saying anything.

There was a moment of hesitation as the princess seemed to doubt something. She also turned around to look at the butler, but he had already turned away and was taking care of his own business.

It was only when she turned away that he turned back to glare at me once more to put pressure on me.

The princess gave a happy clap and said, "Let's go then."

She stood up and grabbed my hand, pulling me up with her before running forward.

Then she suddenly came to a stop as she realized something.

Judging by the way that she looked around, it was most likely that she didn't know which direction the pond was.

She turned back to look at the butler and he just calmly pointed in a direction.

With that, she ran off into the forest.

It took us five minutes of walking to reach the pond and it really was as the butler said, this really was a beautiful place for an after meal walk.

When the princess saw the pond, her eyes immediately lit up and she didn't hesitate to run forward to the edge of it.

She lifted up the bottom of her cloak and revealed her fair legs. Then she took off her fancy shoes to reveal her fair white feet as well.

As she pranced around in the pond, it really was a beautiful sight even if I wasn't able to see her face.

The way that she kicked the water around as she pranced in the pond, it really was like watching a fairy play in the water.

Then the princess suddenly turned around and came to the edge of the pond to pull me in as well.

I could only reveal a bitter smile as I stopped her so that I could take off my shoes as well.

But I still went into the pond with her after taking off my shoes.

It really was a pleasant feeling standing in the cool water. This was definitely the highlight of this long and chaotic day.

Then all of a sudden, I was splashed with some water.

I turned to see that it was the princess who had splashed me with this water.

If I could see her face, I was sure that there would have been a smile on her face.

Since it had already come this far, then I wouldn't hold back anymore.

I did the same thing as her and splashed her with the water.

She dodged out of the way and then started splashing me even more.

I could also hear a giggle that was like a beautiful bell ringing as she splashed me.

The two of us just let go of everything and had a small water fight like this.

When it was over, I found that the butler was waiting there on the shore with towels in his hand for us.

It was as if he was already prepared for everything…
