Working Prophet

Although it has been almost a year and a half since he came to Lionheart Castle, Thomas is still not very accustomed to life here.

There are nearly 400,000 people living in this largest city on the continent of Bratis, not counting the merchants who come to do business, the travelers who come here for its reputation, and the mercenaries and refugees who come to make a living.

This also made the personnel composition in Lionheart Castle very complicated. In addition, there had been several wars before, and the security situation here was not optimistic when Ilea first entered the city.

Vicious cases such as theft, robbery and even murder occur frequently. Thomas was then appointed Sheriff, and through his vigorous efforts, order was soon restored to the city.

Especially after Ilea regained the New World, business groups from outside the continent were able to arrive at Lionheart Castle for trade, which also made the city lively again.

But crime has not disappeared under this prosperity and peace. Whether it is the dirty deeds of the nobles in private or the evil hidden in the intricate maze-like slums, Thomas has a headache.

Although the Queen has decided to rectify the three major slums in the city, it is estimated that it will not be completed until two years at the earliest.

In addition, with the arrival of Shuangxiujiao, the nobles in the city have also restrained themselves a lot, but they have not completely become honest, but some small actions have become more subtle.

For example, Thomas got the intelligence last week and led the garrison to destroy a high-end court that specialized in providing private services to nobles.

It is said that many people died there, because rich people often have very strange hobbies.

Thomas also followed the clues and captured several nobles. What made him even more angry was that among them was a lord of the West who had fought alongside him.

In addition to the troubles at work, Thomas was even more uncomfortable with the communication and entertainment in the royal capital.

Going to those noble dinners was more uncomfortable for him than going to the battlefield. Fortunately, all this is coming to an end, and Ilea has found his successor a while ago.

Next Thomas can finally leave the city, but instead of going back to the west, he will set off to the east.

As one of the vassals who has followed Ilea for the longest time, Thomas and the girl have experienced almost all wars, large and small, and have always guarded Ilea loyally.

Naturally, Miss Rabbit would not treat such a confidant and veteran badly. After regaining the New World, she named him the Duke of the New World and gave him the rule to rule this small land with numerous ports and extremely prosperous maritime trade. .

In another half month, when Thomas has handed over all the work at hand, he will leave Lionheart Castle.

In effect Thomas had now transferred command of the garrison to Silverpine.

He came to the market today mainly to buy some things, but Thomas became alert after shopping for a while.

He always felt like someone was following him secretly, but every time he turned around, he didn't see any suspicious guy.

Thomas frowned. Since he became the Sheriff, he has arrested many people and offended many people, especially the nobles. It would not be surprising if some of them want to take revenge on him.

Thomas did not panic. He pretended not to notice anything and turned around and walked into a shoe store on the corner.

After a while, a petite figure wearing a cloak also came outside the shoe store, but he did not go in. He just peeked inside, and then planned to hide behind a stall selling smoked fish.

But before he could take a step, something cold hit his lower back.

"Who hired you?" Thomas said as he came back from the back door. "Tell me the name of your employer and I can consider letting you go."

"No one hired me," the man chuckled, "I just heard that the Sheriff appeared in the market and wanted to come and admire his heroic appearance. Oh, maybe now I should call you the Duke of Xinlu."

Thomas recognized the person from the voice, put away the duel pistol, and said helplessly, "Why is it you? Why did you come to me?"

"What do you think?" Selina took off her hood, looked at Thomas, and said quietly, "I was badly hurt by you in the Golden Valley before."

"You provoked us first," Thomas said. "You and your companions poisoned the wine and cursed us."

"I saved you and took great risks to sneak into your tent and prevent you from drinking that glass of wine."

"It won't matter even if I drink it. Prophet Merlin will remove the curse for me, just like he did for others." Thomas said disapprovingly.

Selina put her hand on her forehead, "Why didn't I find you so boring and boring before? Of course I know how powerful the Prophet Merlin is. Have you ever thought that the point of what I said is just to emphasize that I have risked a lot for you. It’s a big risk.”

Thomas finally nodded this time, "I do want to thank you."

"That's right." The two pointed ears on Selina's head stood up, and her eyes were bright when she looked at Thomas.

Unexpectedly, the latter went on to say, "If you hadn't been exposed, I don't know when I would have discovered your curse."

"…………"

"It's not fair!" Selena protested, "Every time I sacrifice for love, you will never think about me."

"Is this why you avoided me for more than a year and refused to see me?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, I want to know how much weight I hold in your heart." Selena was a little sad. "It turns out that you don't care about me at all. You haven't come to see me in the past year and a half."

"With your concealment skills, if you deliberately hide from someone, it's impossible for that person to find you."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you find her forever. If you look for her, it will make me happy, and I will come out to see you." Selena became more and more sad as she spoke, and looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, I did have a lot of work to do at that time and couldn't get out of it." Thomas said apologetically, "But I have not forgotten you."

"How are you going to prove it?"

Thomas thought for a while and said, "As long as you are willing, we can find a monk to hold the wedding for us now."

"Really, really?" Selena was stunned this time, "But aren't you going to the New World? At this time, according to the tradition of the empire, you should not marry a woman from a local noble family. Is it convenient for you to rule that land?"

"Queen Victoria did help me designate a marriage to a female member of the Wetting family, but I declined. I told her that I already had a sweetheart," Thomas said.

"Yeah!" Selina didn't expect that the piece of wood in front of her would be able to awaken one day and say such sweet words, which actually made her unable to resist for a moment.

But Thomas, as if that wasn't exciting enough, continued, "Will you be my wife and go to the New World with me?"

"Ah?! Are you serious!"

"Of course." Thomas looked serious.

"That, that, that, that..." Selena didn't expect that one day she would stutter, and she used all her strength to say the next half of the sentence.

"That's okay. Since the goddess of life is also an incarnation of Saturday, and Priest Cornelia has become a monk of the Shuangxiu Cult, it seems that it is not impossible for us to be together."

Selena's voice became softer as she spoke. After saying the last word, she simply turned her head, covering her face and dove into the crowd. She used her stealth technique and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
