Chapter 44: Forced Detainment_3
"Then please let my friends take the food back first for emergency relief, and I will stay behind alone." This way, no matter what she does later, she will have more freedom.
"Isn't it too lonely to leave you alone? How about leaving half the people here, and I'll have my subordinates escort the others back." The Wolf Blood Queen tapped the armrest with her fingers and smiled. To her, teasing this charming and intelligent girl was far more interesting and entertaining than interacting with those foolish people.
Faced with the Wolf Blood Queen's relentless pressure, Tilan had no choice but to retreat step by step in her words, which made her feel that no matter how eloquent and logical the weaker party is, it's hard to maintain one's interests at the negotiation table.
Clearly, the other side had no intention of letting her go from the beginning. Considering the greedy nature of the Wolf Blood Species, letting such a useful and profitable doctor leave would undoubtedly be an absurd behavior that would make people laugh.
The strong are beyond reproach. As the ruler of the grasslands, any order or decision made by the Wolf Blood Queen is not to be casually commented on or opposed, as these wolf cubs truly would kill.
Well, so-called methods and rhetoric are ultimately limited, especially on this land.
Tilan shook her head, dispelling the thought of continuing to argue.
"The settlement I live in is quite far away, so I kindly ask Her Majesty to send more people to escort me." She bowed her head and did not respond further.
Seeing the girl seemingly submit on the surface, the Wolf Blood Queen wore a satisfied smile, as if she had won a game, and only then did others at the banquet dare to resume speaking. The atmosphere became lively again with bursts of laughter and chatter.
After sipping a few more 'cups' of fine wine, the Wolf Blood Queen stood up and left the banquet scene, leaving it to the crowd to revel. Things like rare fine wines and delicacies had long since ceased to interest her, and there was no fun in staying on.
As the banquet continued in the Wolf Blood King Camp, in an unknown corner of the camp's dungeon, the person originally guarding slowly fell against the wall, unconscious. At this moment, a woman in a purple coat stepped over the guard on the ground and entered it, the quiet holding place.
Soon, she found the target she was looking for. It was a special cell, with a much better environment and space than the others.
"You came, Your Excellency Envoy." Levende heard footsteps and quickly looked up, finally seeing the familiar figure.
"You seem to have anticipated my arrival?" The woman's face was shrouded in a light veil, her steps were light and silent.
"It's just that someone happened to have seen you and told me what might happen."
"Oh, who might that be?" Since there was no ambush here, it showed that the person who saw through this had no malicious intent.
"She is the legendary doctor recently in town, and she was the one who rescued me." Levende stepped to the iron bars.
"Her?" The woman noted from Levende's description that the doctor seemed to be a woman as well.
"That's right, she looks very young, but her knowledge is exceedingly profound, and she warned me about many things." Levende conveyed the instructions the young woman had given him yesterday.
"Her speculations are indeed correct, but I see that she is also hard-pressed now." The woman shook her head.
"Since she has instructed so, I will wait another two days. For now, I must trouble you to remain in the cell."
"If you cannot get out of the city with the caravan in two days, I will come to rescue you."
"Currently, the settlement is short on manpower, and losing you is quite troublesome. Besides, you wouldn't want Bony to be without a father in the future, right?" She mentioned Levende's daughter.
"Is Bony okay?" Levende asked with concern.
"She is fine, just really misses you."
"Please be cautious during this time, and don't underestimate the Wolf Blood Queen. Moreover, I can't stay here too long, or else it will be noticed by the other party." As she finished speaking, the woman's figure gradually disappeared, as if blown away by the wind.
"Such advanced illusion techniques... it seems the envoy has reached Sequence 6." Levende felt somewhat encouraged in his heart and gradually calmed down.
"Let's see if we can leave the city tomorrow."
As night slowly fell, the main tent in the Wolf Blood King Camp remained lively, filled with music and brilliantly lit.
