Chapter 1461: 1460 out of the palace
“Yes,” Samiyi said helplessly, “My foolish nephew is only fit to be a carefree Prince, not suitable to be the King of a nation. So I won’t trouble him anymore. Just co at if there’s any issue.”
She asked, “Rou, if you were in this situation, how would you handle it?”
Tan Rou replied, “I would choose to face the difficulties myself so that my family can live a peaceful life.”
“Good,” Samiyi said. “Since that’s the case, I have another favor to ask of you.”
“Just say it, as long as it’s sothing I can do, I will help you,” Tan Rou said.
“I want to make a trip out of the palace, but I haven’t been out for many years and am unfamiliar with the outside situation so I need a trustworthy person to accompany ,” Samiyi said. “And this person must possess strong martial capabilities.”
...
Since Samiyi required martial strength, it indicated that her going out wasn’t for leisure; she had important matters to attend to.
“Okay, I can go with you,” Tan Rou agreed, “but I feel it won’t be safe enough on my own, so you’ll need to prepare sothing for .”
Samiyi promised, “Don’t worry, I will arrange weapons for you.”
As long as the King was alert, Samiyi had always lived under his surveillance; the King did not allow her to leave the royal city, so she couldn’t go out. But now it was different; the King couldn’t control Samiyi, and she could go wherever she wanted.
Samiyi chose to leave at night because, during the night, people weren’t allowed to roam the streets of the royal city, so the possibility of Samiyi being seen was lower. As long as they could evade the patrol, they would be safe.
At ten o’clock at night, Samiyi and Tan Rou changed into black clothes and quietly left the palace. Without the King’s restrictions, it was relatively easy for Samiyi to leave.
After leaving, Samiyi headed directly east.
Tan Rou was surprised; she thought Samiyi had co out to et Kas and Agira, but Samiyi didn’t head towards Kas’s place on West Street; instead, she kept walking eastward. Could it be that Kas’s residence was now in the east?
Regardless, Tan Rou only needed to follow Samiyi and ensure her safety; she didn’t need to concern herself with other matters.
They shuffled through the dark night and to Tan Rou’s surprise, Samiyi’s pace wasn’t slow; her ability to scale walls was also very strong — she easily climbed over a two-ter-high wall.
“Your skills are very good,” Tan Rou said softly.
Samiyi replied quietly, “Being royal, we must practice self-defense techniques. Otherwise, we’d die horribly.”
“What about Laka?” Tan Rou felt that Laka didn’t seem like soone who would practice self-defense techniques.
“He’s quite dull and can’t learn anything,” Samiyi said regretfully. “No matter how much the teacher taught him, Laka just couldn’t learn. Eventually, my brother stopped hiring teachers for him and rely arranged more bodyguards to ensure his safety.”
Now wasn’t the ti for chatting; after Tan Rou asked her questions, she didn’t inquire further. The remaining doubts would have to wait until they had ti to discuss them later.
Samiyi led Tan Rou a long way; they saw many patrolling soldiers along the way. If they couldn’t avoid them, they would squat in hiding until the soldiers left. Sotis, they could also hear the soldiers complaining about patrolling.
“When will these days ever end?” Soldier A said impatiently, “I don’t want to patrol here; I want to go back and be with my wife and child.”
Soldier B added, “Yeah, my mom wants to leave the army; she says night patrolling is too hard. From dusk till dawn, we’re just standing around, and it’s unbearable!”
The leader scolded, “Enough talking!”
The complaining soldiers imdiately fell silent.
After they left, Tan Rou and Samiyi erged from their hiding place, and Tan Rou asked, “Will you abolish the patrol system when you beco Queen?”
“Once the situation stabilizes, I will abolish the nightti patrol system,” Samiyi said. “It’s a huge waste of money and human resources.”
Tan Rou suggested, “Day or night are both good tis for doing business. If you want to boost the economy of the country, you might support the nightti economy.”
Samiyi nodded, “Hmm, I’ll consider it.”
