Chapter 1225: Useless to the point of howling
Goss led Su Xiao through the courtyard and directly into a slightly dilapidated two-story house. The interior was obviously very carefully cleaned, but the general condition of the building made it obvious that it had not been repaired for a long time.
After bringing the guests into the living room, he stopped and said — "Her Highness is currently resting, please wait a moment," and with that, he started walking up the stairs.
Su Xiao didn't wait in the living room and followed him up the stairs.
— Iron hand, please give...
*Boom!*
Su Xiao immediately kicked Goss's stomach. He didn't expect Su Xiao to attack him at such a moment, so he didn't have time to block this attack.
*Bang,bang...*
Goss stopped in a half-crouch after punching through two walls. He had one hand covering his stomach and his face was pale.
— Do you think I came here to ask for a meeting? If you dare to stand in my way again, I will kill both you and Elise, " after saying that, Su Xiao glanced at Goss and continued up the stairs.
Goss crouched down. His expression started to change constantly, but Amu and Bubtni immediately got in his way. If he dares to step forward, he will die. Su Xiao's patience was at its limit, and although he wanted to use this guy as cannon fodder, he didn't want to hear anything from him.
Goss's face darkened. Yes, he was supposed to protect Eliza Herbert, but was it really that simple?
He had protected her for so many years, causing his loyalty to the royal family to falter. At one point, he began to view the weak princess as his personal property. Of course, he didn't have the guts to take action, but he did his best to keep outsiders away from Eliza.
Su Xiao's visit wasn't private, but rather official. When it came to such visits, no one asked for the other party's opinion, the conversation had to take place no matter what.
In an office on the second floor, a girl with long blonde hair and a white dress was leafing through a book. She was startled when she heard a loud noise from below, and the book fell out of her hands.
The door creaked open. Eliza Herbert turned her head and saw a strange man standing in the doorway of the study.
This man's eyes made her feel an instinctive fear.
— Hi, " Elise said softly, and her voice was so low that Su Xiao couldn't hear her greeting.
Su Xiao stepped forward and was only a meter away from Elise. Her breathing became a little faster. Apart from her father and Guardian Knight Goss, no other man had ever stood so close to her. As for touching her, no man had touched her since she was a baby, mostly because of Goss's vigilant security detail.
— You... what's wrong with you? Elise's right hand, which was holding a thick book, was hidden behind her. It was her "weapon" for self-defense.
However, Eliza Herbert's expression wasn't cold-blooded. After looking at her just once, Su Xiao immediately knew that this princess would burst into tears because of any of his actions.
Today, he seemed to have discovered a new kind of princess. He had seen many princes and princesses. They were usually either elegant or generous. Princesses like Eliza Herbert were really quite rare.
She was like this because she spent all her time at home reading books, because in her opinion, the outside world was too dangerous, and all these strange men seemed to be looking at her too closely. With their gazes, they seemed to want to eat her, and her brothers looked at her as their worst enemy.
Elise didn't want to die, so she protected herself by refusing to fight for the throne, and yet she didn't go out in public.
When the third prince found out that Su Xiao had decided to take Eliza Herbert with him, it was obvious from his face that he was very happy with this choice. He also thought that her knight, a good Holy Warrior, would eventually die, and that Elise, this beautiful little rabbit, would just have a not-so-pleasant fate..
Yes, the princes and princesses thought Eliza Herbert was a little rabbit, beautiful, but the most useless princess in the history of the kingdom.
She didn't even have a fiefdom, and not because the king hadn't given it to her. According to the rules, Elise was given control of a territory that wasn't very rich, but it was located in a good location.
However, a few months later, the king was surprised that rebels appeared on the territory of her fiefdom. Even the calm and wise king was stunned by this news for a few seconds. After learning about this, the king drank some wine that evening and gave orders that Eliza Herbert should be returned to the capital and receive a mansion with a territory in her possession, and it would be undesirable for her to leave this mansion in the near future, unless of course she wanted to harm the reputation of the royal family.
In fact, when the king gave this order, the castle that Eliza Herbert was in was surrounded by rebels, and she herself was trembling with fear in the castle.
That night, the commander of the Khuslet Kingdom's army arrived at her fiefdom and destroyed all the rebels. After Khuslet learned the reason for the rebellion, he was speechless for a long time and finally could only say — " Your Majesty is very wise.
As a result, Eliza Herbert returned to the capital with a managerial talent below the baseboard. The king really didn't want to see her, so he put her up on the outskirts of the capital.
But since Eliza Herbert was an outstanding princess in terms of beauty, if any cheeky drunks broke into her house, it would definitely create a huge scandal for the royal family. Because of this, the King assigned her a Holy Warrior, Goss.
According to the seventh prince, Goss was very strong, but he had a very high opinion of himself. In addition, his heart was very callous. Among the Holy Warriors, Goss was an outcast due to his extreme arrogance and the fact that he almost always looked down on everyone.
And just like that, two weirdos settled in the kingdom's capital, the mistress and her servant. The mistress was ridiculously useless, and the servant was very arrogant.
However, all the princes and princesses considered Eliza Herbert a harmless little rabbit.
Usually, when this happened, the result was that the person was either very secretive or very smart. At first, the princes and princesses thought the same, but a few years later, they were surprised to find that they thought too much about her.
It was really useless.
In fact, the king had no particular reason to single out Eliza Herbert for the campaign to the throne, mainly because of her uselessness. He knew that the prince or princess would end up badly if he went there with Iron Hand, so he decided to choose a relatively useless princess so that more capable descendants would be left alive.
— It's ... it's lunch time, can I go have lunch? Eliza Herbert asked in a weak voice, which caused Su Xiao to raise his eyebrows. Right now, in this situation, she was still thinking about lunch?
— You... say something, maybe- " Elise seemed to have thought of something terrible. Seeing her expression, Su Xiao felt that he finally understood.
— Are you ... are you here for my body? Eliza Herbert asked in a very serious tone, causing Su Xiao to immediately toss his guesses in the trash.
She was as smart as Bubtney was when he committed his insidious crimes.
— Come with me, " Su Xiao just said, turning around and walking out of the office.
— I — I don't want to, " said Eliza Herbert, in a very confident tone, which would have seemed quite convincing if she hadn't been trembling.
— Stop talking nonsense, " Su Xiao replied and narrowed his eyes.
— Help!!! Even if I die... Wait, don't, don't kill me, I'll go!
Su Xiao just picked up Eliza Herbert and started walking down the stairs. There was no doubt in his mind now that this princess was the best person to go to the throne.
If she decided to compete with Bubtni in terms of intelligence, Bubtni would easily surpass her.
