The eunuch waited for Nathalia to continue his sentence, but he did not say anything.
That made the eunuch break out in a sweat.
Then, the eunuch gathered his courage and secretly took a peek at Joe.
However, he was not even looking at him.
Instead, Nathalia looked at the tower in the distance.
“Tell her that if she does this again, and if she’s within ten kilometers of me, I’ll chop off her head.” Nathalia let out cold laughter, turned around, and got into the carriage.
He did not show himself anymore after that.
“Yes! Surely, Your Highness!” The eunuch was shaking like a leaf in the hurricane.
He instantly knelt and repeatedly kowtowed.
Then, after getting Nathalia’s permission, he hurriedly rode on his horse and left.
At this moment, on the tower opposite Leonardo, a pale yellow silhouette hid behind a pilaster, secretly glancing in his direction.
The silhouette had a curvy outline with an alluring grace.
Her fine black hair fell on her side, emitting light luster.
Even though the lady was covering her face with a thin piece of cloth, one could still see the almost perfect lips.
Her eyes were full of affection.
It was as if there were ripples in them, and anyone who saw them could not help but drown in them.
“Nathalia’s so mean! He’s still threatening me at such a time.
Nonetheless, since he had accepted the Meteorite Sword, it proves that he still cares about me.” Camille Montgomery lightly bit her lower lip behind the veil as she uttered words that sounded annoyed but happy.
Her voice was charming, and anyone that heard it would be melted.
Once again, she turned around and watched in the direction of the carriage which had long started its journey.
At this moment, the light yellow silhouette appeared lonely and frail as it stood among the tall walls.
“God knows when we can meet again after this parting.
Leonardo, you must stay alive.
When I have the chance, I’ll surely visit you, and you‘ll be surprised!” Camille turned around and disappeared among the walls as if she was never there.
***
The whole group headed west for more than a month.
The group consisted of two carriages.
One of them provided Nathalia and Penny a place to rest, and the other was loaded with rations and valuables.
Other than that, 17 cavalries were escorting them.
The town guards provided the supplies needed by these cavalries along the way.
Even for a regular merchant transport of goods, the troop looked pathetic, let alone for the royal intermarriage between two countries.
Nonetheless, Nathalia was aware that the guards‘ feelings were complicated.
Firstly, Nathalia used to be Salleria’s gifted prince, and he was the youngest and most prestigious general in the military.
Not only did he get rid of the traitors and bandits within their country, but he also fended off the enemy outside the country, and the war fought brought Salleria to the peak of its reputation since it was founded.
However, Nathalia was also the same prince trying to usurp the throne and killed his father.
There was even a rumor spreading that he was a beast that wanted to defile his sister.
If one encountered such a messy situation, they would usually be slashed thousands of times and executed.
Due to these complicated emotions, the guards were neither respectful nor disgusted at Nathalia during their journey so far.
It was just as if they only had an employment relationship.
Whenever they communicated, it would only be for official matters such as where they arrived and where they were heading next.
Usually, while they were resting midway, Nathalia would stroll around nearby, and these guards could not be bothered about it either.
