Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Catherine, what's the matter?" Darlene asked in amazement.

"I'd better eat less and save some for the next meal." Catherine put down her chopsticks and forced a smile, "Dalena, are you leaving?"

She is not stupid, but she is usually playful. Darlene came here today, and she could guess that the other party was leaving the capital and was going to the magical Xiyang City.

"Uh..." Darlene was stunned, then nodded, and said, "Well, we're leaving tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

"..." Catherine was silent for a moment, her golden eyes flickered, she shook her head and said bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't go, my father has grounded me."

"Who does the Duke decide to marry you to?" Darlene asked with a serious face.

"I don't know yet." Catherine shook her head and sighed, "Recently the eldest prince and the second prince have come to contact father, and they both want his support."

"That means the Duke hasn't decided who to marry you to?" Darlene was visibly relieved.

"Yes, but it's not far away. At most, next summer, you will know who you are going to marry." Catherine's face was calm, and her golden eyes quietly looked at the meat on the plate, but the veins on the back of the hand holding the chopsticks were bulging. .

"Catherine, you..." Darlene frowned, she didn't know what to say.

"Me? I don't know what to do anymore." Catherine put down her chopsticks, with a helpless tone, "Father will not change his mind, I can't be willful anymore."

"Is there really no other way?" Darlene asked shyly.

"No more." Catherine shook her head and said bitterly, "Father said that if someone is more dazzling than the prince, he can let me marry him, Darlene, do you think it is possible? Is there anyone who is more dazzling than a future prince?" Where is the king's prince?"

"This..." Darlene was at a loss for words. This request was definitely impossible, unless someone rose up to rebel, or some other prince came to propose marriage, or the kind of prince who wanted to be a king.

"Why don't you sneak away?" Darlene lowered her voice and glanced towards the door with her green eyes.

"Impossible." Catherine frowned and sighed, "I've tried it, and I was intercepted by the knights before I even went out of the Duke's mansion."

"This..." Darlene opened her mouth, staring blankly at Catherine, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

"I understand. My fate has been decided a long time ago, and no one can save me." Catherine said indifferently with her golden eyes.

She knew that this day would come. She wanted to struggle and fight before, especially during the time in Xiyang City, which made her think of many things, such as elopement.

But reality is reality, without the willful capital given by her father, she is just a girl who knows a little music, and nothing else.

"If, I said if..." Darlene's blue eyes flickered, and she whispered, "If there is a chance for you to leave the Duke's Mansion, will you leave?"

"Of course, I will." Catherine said firmly, her golden eyes looked forward to Darlene, waiting for her next words.

"I will ask Your Excellency Liu Feng for help." Darlene said with a serious face, she decided to give up the share of the proceeds from this transaction, and use it to ask His Excellency Liu Feng for help.

"But... But, Your Excellency Liu Feng, you may not agree." Catherine clasped her hands tightly, her expression was very complicated, she was worried that His Excellency Liu Feng would not agree, but also hoped that His Excellency Liu Feng would agree, and she agreed but was afraid that the other party would be in danger...

"Give it a try, maybe you will agree." Darlene said calmly, she couldn't watch her good friend's happiness be ruined like this.

Chapter 0475 killer strikes.

"Is this Xiyang City? It's really dilapidated."

Outside Xiyang City, a 1.6-meter-long girl was wrapped in black linen, including her hair and ears.

Her name is Mira, and she is a killer, ranked among the top 100 killers. Her mission today is to kidnap the Lord of Xiyang City. As long as she is tied up and brought to the designated place two days later, she can get 130 gold coins , such a lucrative task, if she hadn't happened to be looking for someone in the west, she really wouldn't be able to take the task.

It's the first time for a killer to do the work of a kidnapper. What experience? Certainly not, but seeing such an earthen city wall, the target nobleman must not be too powerful.

"This city wall is really bad." Mira shook her head, she was a little nervous at first, but she immediately became less nervous.

Mira walked towards the gate of Xiyang City. After seeing a group of knights guarding the gate, especially the excellent armor on the knights, her green pupils shrank slightly and her body collapsed.

She stepped into the city, but no one stopped her in the end, which made her heave a sigh of relief, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't even check her. It seemed that these knights looked like gatekeepers.

"Tch, I thought they would be intercepted and inspected, but I didn't expect to come in so easily." Mira sneered, she walked through the city gate to test the reaction ability of the knights in Xiyang City.

She was ready to do it, killing a few knights to cause riots, and then sneaked in to observe, looking for a chance to win the mission target. But the plan can't keep up with the changes, well, there is no change at all, should she go forward to provoke? She can't do something so stupid.

"Huh... Find a place to rest for a while, and let's talk about it after a full meal." Mira patted her stomach, looked up at the sky, and it was afternoon.

Mira was stunned after entering the city, looking at the scene in front of her, the wide avenue, the snow-free ground, and the tidy houses.

"Did I come to the wrong place?" Mira murmured to herself, she turned around and walked outside Xiyang City.

Under the astonished eyes of the soldiers, she came to the soldiers and asked, "Is this Xiyang City?"

"Yes, this is Xiyang City." The soldier guarding the city gate straightened his back.

"But..." Mira raised her finger in amazement and pointed to the city wall, and then pointed to the direction inside the city.

"The City Lord has issued a notice that Xiyang City will rebuild a city wall next year." The soldier replied skillfully.

These soldiers guarding the city gates are used to being asked this question. Those new businessmen often ask this question. After all, Xiyang City is so prosperous, but the city wall is very dilapidated.

"Rebuild a city wall?" Mira blinked her eyes, her face became a little more serious.

"Miss, are you here for tourism? Or for food?" the soldier asked curiously.

"Ah?" Mira was stunned, tilting her head and asking in confusion, "Why do you ask like this?"

"Because our Xiyang City is very famous in this area, people often come here to watch football games and eat delicious food." The soldier smiled lightly.

"That's it." Mira nodded, understanding why she didn't interrogate her anymore. There were simply too many people like her, and the knights were already used to it.

As for what the game is, she didn't ask, and she didn't want to find out. As for the food, she could give it a try.

Mira turned around and walked towards the city gate, frowning in thought, completely oblivious to the soldiers behind her staring at her steps.

After Mira walked away, the soldier said to the companion next to him, "There is something wrong with this person. You can see that she walks completely silently. She is a formidable person."

"Then pass on the news." The companion said quickly.

"Okay, you stay on guard first." The soldier immediately turned around and walked into the city, as long as there was any suspicious person, he would upload the information.

"Go."

...

Mila didn't know how to ask casually, and the soldiers noticed her. She is now squatting on the side of the street observing the people coming and going, especially observing those orcs. This is what shocked her the most.

"There are orcs living in this city, what's going on?"

Mira's green eyes widened, and she muttered in disbelief, "Why isn't this in the information given?"

She was at a loss as to what to do. Humans and orcs coexisted peacefully. It was such a shock to her that she didn't know what to do.

"Damn it, those bastards actually missed such important information." Mira scolded through gritted teeth.
