The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1115  Broke and Homeless

The roaring sound was getting louder and louder as it get closer causing Zhao Li Xin to become warier he doesn't realize Lory's dumbfounded expression.

'It's…a Jeep!'

The yellow jeep stopped right next to Lory and Zhao Li Xin, the windows were rolled down and an old man who looked sixty was leaning against the window looking at them in surprise "Yo, what are you two doing in the middle of nowhere? are you lost or something?"

Lory and Zhao Li Xin were shocked for a long time neither of them spoke. Zhao Li Xin was still trying to determine if this thing was a beast or not and if this person is dangerous or not, but he did not feel any malice from her.

Meanwhile, Lory is stunned to hear the man speak his old language and the vehicle he owns is a desert Hummer, Lory immediately becomes suspicious.

"Are you all right?" the middle-aged man asked again, he thought the heat must be messing with their heads.

Lory took it back then replied immediately "Yeah...yes can't you help us? Our car broke down somehow and we lost our phones so we've been walking for hours...." Lory opened her hands showing their miserable looks.

The old man watched them carefully and immediately believed even though he felt something happen other than just the car stalling but the old man didn't ask any further questions just guessed they might just through crazy experience "Sounds terrible, come on in, I'll take you to the nearest town!" he gestured for Lory and Zhao Li Xin to get into his Hummer.

road, and instantly the car's movement became smoother and less shaky.

23:11

Coincidently Lory read the road signs that passed her by and several advertising signs on the road. It Lory took Zhao Li Xin to sit in the back seat while Lory sat in the front seat, at the back seat Zhao Li Xin's eyes wandered inside the car with eyes filled with interest.

The old man glanced at Lory and Zhao Li Xin in tatters, "Where are you guys from?" in the end he couldn't contain his curiosity.

Lory smiled wryly and waved her hand casually "Oh, we just got home from the costume party but I think we having too much fun and everything got out of control, and one thing lead to another and our car broke down out of nowhere"

The old man didn't think anything Lory said was weird cause a lot of wild parties were held at the dessert and those young people tended to go crazy.

"It must be crazy parties, huh?" the old man laughs at their foolishness.

Lory smile meaningfully "You had no idea"

The old man laughed out loud at Lory's smart answer and he stepped on the gas in his car and the sound of the jeep engine roaring as the car moved away.

Lory peeked at Zhao Li Xin's condition through the rearview mirror but Zhao Li Xin's attention was absorbed by the car interior, Lory also chuckled seeing Zhao Li Xin's unusual attitude but at least Zhao Li Xin's mood was much better than when she first came to cultivator world.

Lory then glanced at the window next to him with a mixed expression. Never did he think that in millions of years, he would return to his world let alone be with Zhao Li Xin it never appeared even in his craziest dreams, unfortunately, Girsha was not with him.

Lory rested her tired head on the car's headrest, not long after, the car finally reached the asphalt road, and instantly the car's movement became smoother and less shaky.

Coincidently Lory read the road signs that passed her by and several advertising signs on the road. It was then that she realized they weren't in Harland, well, as expected, how could anything be so easy for her?

However, how much time has passed since she's gone, and what happened to Lucas, Fred, and the others? what happened to the kingdom? to the people at L'markieth? Are they all safe?

So many questions crossed her mind and a lot of guilt start to arise as she remembered leaving all her people to fulfill her own wishes and all the lies she made up...will they ever forgive her?

"Sir, do you know anything about Harland?" Lory asked abruptly.

The old man widened his eyes as he stare at Lory as if she was stupid, "Did I know? Miss are you still drunk, no one doesn't know about Harland or the late King Marcus or the young King Lucas moreover The guardian of Harland Kingdom, princess Lorient!" he said the last words with deep awe and respect.

Zhao Li Xin's brows arched when he heard Lorient's name mentioned, on the other hand, Lory's mouth twitched she always felt uncomfortable when she heard people's exaggerated praise like she was a goddess incarnated or something.

Because of that, Lucas and Lory always travel incognito, not only to avoid enemies but also to avoid things like this, people always behave strangely when they meet Lory or Lucas, and one even faints when they just met.

Though it's happened for years both Lory and Lucas could never bring themselves to use to it and it seems it's getting worst cause usually, only the citizens of Harland would react that way but from the old man's words, she was afraid that more people outside would react the same way.

'Tsk, how troublesome!'

"Oh, by the way, miss, judging by the color of your hair and eyes you seem to be a fan of Princess Lorient too huh? you look good" The old man bared his white teeth.

"Huh?" Lory stared at him blankly.

"I mean, I know many young girls like to dye their hair like princesses Lorient they even wear purple contact lenses to mimic the princess but then this behavior even out of respect was forbidden cause it was deemed to be rude for the Lucient family, I mean Lucient trait is not something to be treated lightly like a mere makeup or trendy stuff, right? those traits are means something to the Harland people therefore you better change your hair color cause a lot of countries forbid people from dressing like the heiress of Lucient" said the old man.

"Oh I know that's not allowed in Harland but in other countries too?" Lory was surprised.

"Yeah, many of the countries even give hefty fines to anyone who dares to break the law, I guessed this is a form of respect for the Lucient family who has sacrificed a lot for all of us and I agree one hundred percent with that!" the old man turned the wheel and then entered the gas station parking lot.
