Chapter 8 Missing Girl! Druid girl was injured.

When Meji arrived at the slum, it was completely dark. The circus is located in a square in the slum, surrounded by fences and more than a dozen tents. After looking for someone to inquire, someone took him in directly.

When he saw Zi Ya, he knew how much she was injured. She lay **, her chest wrapped in gauze, full of blood. Several teenage girls guarded her anxiously, and there was a middle-aged man with an uneasy face next to her. The little fairy is also here, and she seems to be familiar with these girls and does not hide her figure.

"Who hurt Qi Ya like this?" Megy clenched her fist.

"It's a magician." The little fairy replied, "Qiya and a girl named Jiajia in the circus ran out to play. As a result, several people kidnapped Jiajia. Zi Ya chased after her, but she didn't expect that the other party secretly hid a magician and stabbed her with an icicle. Fortunately, she had become a strong black bear and was not pierced. By the time the people in the circus arrived, she had fallen to the ground and Jiajia was gone.

"Who have you offended?" Meiji asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "We are just eating here. How dare we offend anyone? If I really offended anyone, I would not have been able to get along in the royal city. However, several girls have disappeared in Wangcheng recently. We have been careful enough not to let the girls go out alone. Because there was no such thing these days, we were a little relaxed and asked Jiajia to go out with Qi Ya, but we still didn't expect that those people would dare to tie people on the street before it was dark.

Meggie's heart tightened. Princess Sophia has been a headache because of the serial disappearance of a young girl during this period, and he hasn't asked her about it since he told Sophia that the girls whose bodies had been found should have been killed by Medusa. Unexpectedly, even Zi Ya became a victim of this incident.

At this time, Qi Ya moved and opened her eyes with difficulty. Meiji quickly grabbed her hand.

"Jiajia is missing," Qi Ya's voice sounded like crying, "Someone took Jiajia away..."

"You're fine..."

"Someone arrested Jiajia." Zia struggled to get up.

"Don't move." Meiji quickly stopped her. He doesn't care so much about what will happen to the girl named Jiajia. After all, she is not his friend, is she? But Ziya is different.

"Meggie, help me find Jiajia." Zia held his hand tightly.

"Okay, okay...Ziya, what's wrong with you? Zia..."

The girl closed her eyes again and fell on **, scaring Meggie into a cold sweat. The little fairy quickly flew over to check.

"It's okay, I just fainted." She said.

"I have to send her back to Rose Dew Manor." Meiji stood up and said, "Sofia can find the best doctor and priest to treat her."

"Rose Dew Manor? Isn't that where Her Royal Highness lives? The middle-aged man was shocked. During this period, Zia always came to play with the circus girls and asked her where she lived. She only said it was in a "beautiful place", but she couldn't name the place. Unexpectedly, this strange but lively and cheerful girl lived in the princess's manor.

Soon, the middle-aged man arranged a carriage for Megsy to send Zia to Rose Dew Manor.

When Meiji came back with Zia, Princess Sophia had not slept yet. In fact, something has been bothering her. After hearing about Ziya, she quickly sent someone to find a priest who was good at healing to heal Ziya. Fortunately, although Ziya was seriously injured, she was not fatal. She quickly stabilized under the effect of the priest's magic and fell asleep.

The night became deeper, and the lights lit in every corner shook dimly. Meiji sat by Zia's bed and was in a bad mood. Anyway, he brought Qi Ya out. Now, before Joshua can find her, she almost died.

"Mage, don't worry," Sophia walked behind him. "Ziya will be fine."

Mage suddenly stood up and looked at her angrily: "Why haven't you found the snake-haired banshee yet? It's been so many days, why hasn't even been caught?

Sofia's face was a little stiff, as if she didn't know how to explain it.

"Qia's friend was also caught, and she was very worried." Meiji said hatefully, "I won't forgive those who hurt Zia. No matter who they are, I won't let them go."

Princess Sophia did not answer. She walked slowly for a few steps and was very irritable. She had put pressure on the man, and the man also hinted that this would not happen again. She hadn't heard about the disappearance of the girl in the past few days, but she didn't expect it to start again now. What on earth does that adult think? Isn't it a headache for himself to make Wangcheng full of wind and rain?

"Sofia, are you hiding something?" Meiji stared at her and didn't even notice that she was calling the princess's name.

Sofia suddenly stood and asked, "Meggie, do you want to save the girl named Jiajia?"

"Think," Meji said, "she is a friend of Ziya. If she dies, Ziya will be sad."

"Well," Sophia calmed down, as if she had made up her mind, "Come with me."

Meggie didn't know where she was going with her, but he believed in Sophia. He saw Sophia wave her hand and asked a servant to arrange the carriage. The carriage is black without any decoration. He followed Sophia into the carriage and drove out from the back of the manor. The carriage was driven by a wagon with a numb face, and behind them, two identical carriages followed closely, obviously protecting Princess Sophia in secret.

The carriage drove past the drip mouth stone statue group, passed the bell tower, and then turned around, and couldn't tell where to go. After passing an alley, he saw the numb driver get out of the car, and someone else took his place, and the people in the two carriages behind him seemed to have changed. After another round, the carriage entered a yard close to the city wall. Princess Sophia got out of the carriage, and Meji followed her. They entered the yard, but came out from the back of the yard, passed through a simple but solid tunnel, and came to a big simple house.

Along the way, there were people hiding in secret, and Meiji believed that magic devices for vigilance were set up in that yard or in that tunnel. If it was not brought by Sophia, but by a person who sneaked here, I'm afraid that as soon as I stepped into the yard, there would suddenly be more than a dozen holes on my body.

This house has three floors, and this height is not noticeable at all in the royal city. It looks dark from the outside, but as soon as you enter it, you can see the light balls used for lighting hanging in every corner, and the whole room is illuminated. Several people were busy in the room. When they saw Princess Sophia, they just bent down with respect and did not delay too much.

Sofia took Meji to the second floor and entered a room. A man was sitting at her desk looking at various reports page by page. The man's face was gloomy, and one of his eyes was covered by a blindfold. He should be blind. His hair is neatly combed, and even at work, his clothes can't afford to wrinkle at all.

He looked up at the princess and was not surprised. He just left his desk and knelt down on one knee to the princess with knightly etiquette. Sophia stretched out a hand and asked him to kiss the crystal ring on his hand.

"Your Highness, you came suddenly, but for the disappearance of the girl who appeared again tonight?" The one-eyed man asked.

"How many people are missing this time?"

"Only one reported the case to the public security office," the one-eyed man replied coldly. "However, at least two girls were sent to the place we had been paying attention to. Because they are all civilians or girls who enter the city from other places with low status, not all of them choose to report the case immediately. According to my estimation, there should be about four to five people missing tonight.

"It's like making up the number of the previous days." Sophia frowned.

"That's true." The one-eyed man lowered his head.

"Since that's the case," Sophia's tone turned cold, "I don't want to drag it any longer. I want you to gather people immediately. I want to save those girls before dawn.

The one-eyed man was stunned and said carefully, "Your Highness, it doesn't seem very wise to conflict with that adult at this time."

"I know," Sophia said lightly, "but I can no longer sit back and watch those innocent girls die tragically in the hands of the snake-haired banshee. I have let go of my mother's hatred. Now, if I continue to pretend not see anything, I will never dare to face my conscience."

"We should wait a little longer," the one-eyed man lowered his head. "Although we don't know why the adult indulges the evil deeds of Medusa, we have reason to believe that his headache is no less than ours."

"I've been waiting long enough, but it's obvious that he can't do anything about the snake-haired banshee," Sophia said coldly. "Since we can't expect him to deal with this matter, let's just do it."

"But..."

"Are you questioning my decision?" Sophia looked at him.

"No," the one-eyed man lowered his head restrainedly, "I'm just giving you advice. If you have made up your mind, then no matter what, I will stand firmly on your side without any reason.

"Your support is very important to me," Sophia whispered, "I'm grateful for that."

"Please don't shame me with your gratitude, Your Highness." The one-eyed man said slowly, "My loyalty to you is not enough to repay your kindness to me."

After saying that, he kissed the back of the princess's hand again, stood up, bent down to leave the room, and summoned people.

"Is this man awesome?" Meiji couldn't help asking coldly.

"Are you asking General Leot?" The princess sighed gently, "He is more terrible than powerful. He was once known as the Kingdom's Double Pillar together with General Dan Meishi, the lone Wolf Leot and the eagle Dan Meishi, which once frightened every enemy of the Fair Kingdom. He has participated in the suppression of the three northern counties, and countless nobles and civilians died in his hands. In the battle with the orcs in the cold wind hills, he washed dozens of orc villages in blood, so that even the orc babies in the cold wind hills would cry when they heard his name.

Meggie listened in amazement. Is this man just now such a powerful person? And it's really impossible to see that Dan Meishi can be as famous as such a powerful guy. However, recall carefully, on the first day of training, when Dan Meishi said his name, not only did Molly and Will look admiring, but also the rigid face of Greenrace showed admiration. It seemed that the guy was really promising.

"His position must be very high, right?" Meiji asked.

"No," the beautiful princess shook her head. "In fact, he is dead for both the royal family and the church. Only a few people here know that he is still alive.

Meggie didn't understand: "At least your two brothers and your father know that he is still alive, right? Isn't this the secret department of the royal family?

"No," Princess Sophia said lightly, "everyone here is only responsible for me, and General Leot is only loyal to me. Even my father doesn't know this place.

Isn't it? Meiji looked at her with a tongue-tied...

About half an hour later, Leot came in again. This time, he didn't say anything more, but simply nodded to Princess Sophia.

"How many people have been arranged?" Sophia asked.

"There are eight direct personnel sent from here, and 30 non-direct combatants, all of whom are good at absolutely obeying orders without asking more words. I also mobilized the Knights of the Roses to stay nearby just in case. Leot replied.

"Very good," Sophia smiled. "If possible, arrange Meggie among his direct subordinates."

Leo nodded and didn't ask too much.

"Wait a minute," Meiji hesitated for a moment. "Well, can I talk to Sophia... Well, can I say a word with Your Highness?"

The one-eyed man looked at him faintly, turned around and walked out, and closed the door.

"What do you want to ask me?" Sophia asked.

Meggie scratched her head, "I just think... it's a little too strange."

"What's strange?" Sophia looked at him inexplicably.

"Why do you trust me so much?" Meiji asked very puzzledly, "Since this place can't even reveal your brother, and since the lone wolf Leot has become your subordinate and even your father has to hide it, why do you still bring me here?"

"Do you think it's unreasonable for me to trust you?" Sophia looked at him indifferently.

"It's a little..." Because I don't trust myself very much.

"Actually, I think so too."

"What do you think?"

"I think it's unreasonable for me to trust you." Sophia looked at him and smiled slightly, but seemed to be a little helpless. "It's just... I'm really a little tired. There are always a lot of things on me, and I feel that maybe one day I really can't hold on any longer. Therefore, I hope that there will be someone by my side to support me and understand me.

"Do you think that person will be me?"

"I can only say... I hope it's you."

"...I still don't understand." Meiji smiled bitterly.

"You will understand in the future."

"Okay," Meiji opened the door and was ready to go out, but turned around and asked, "If it comes to the so-called future, I still don't understand. Will you explain it to me?"

"I will," Sophia looked at him, "although you don't need me to explain by then."

"So, what if at that time, you find that you actually misread me? Maybe I'm not the one who can support and understand you, so what?

"If that's the case," Sophia pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Then I can only accept it. No matter how painful or desperate it will become, I will make myself stick to it... Because that's my life."

"Well," Meggie thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. "Although I don't know if I can really do it, at least I will try not to let you down."

Sofia looked at him silently.

"Because I used to think that no one would really need me." Meiji said slowly, "Suli and I are together to help her cross the fog forest. Zia is with me and ask me to help her find Joshua. They don't really need me... but you seem to be a little different..."

After saying that, Meggie went out.

Suffia quietly looked at the closed door and sighed gently. However, this sigh is not heavy, and there is even a sense of peace of mind. In fact, she doesn't know whether it's right or wrong to bring Meggie here, but since he will become her future husband, why not try to trust him from now on?

Will he let himself down?
