Chapter 187 - 187 104 Gift_3

187: Chapter 104: Gift_3 187: Chapter 104: Gift_3 “I plan to go to Farolis City for business, but I’ll be back tomorrow,” Leon said as he stepped onto the horse and answered the girl.

Olivia’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “What a coincidence, I was just thinking of going to the city too.

How about we go together?”

“Sure, pack your luggage and I’ll wait for you at the entrance,” Leon nodded.

The girl happily turned around, putting back the item she had measured for a long time onto the warehouse shelf, then lifting her skirt, she ran back to the house with light steps.

Leon was about to leave the backyard, but after walking a few steps, he realized Kovis was not following.

He turned his head back, puzzled, and looked at the blond young man, “What’s wrong?

Did you forget something?”

Kovis sat on horseback, arms crossed, as if deep in thought.

Thinking of how Olivia had asked him for the warehouse key that morning, the clever youth suddenly raised an eyebrow.

His mind raced, and then he naturally made a frowning expression.

“…My lord, I feel a bit unwell, maybe because I spent too much magic power a few days ago.

You see, since Miss Olivia is accompanying you today, could I…

stay at home and rest?”

A wave of concern rose inside Leon; this was the first time his companion had reacted like this since their training began.

He turned his horse back and approached, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?

Is it serious?

Should I get a doctor from the city to come look at you?”

Although Miss Lola assured that this training wouldn’t affect Kovis’s health, Leon was still worried.

The blond youth quickly smirked and waved his hand, knowing he had overacted.

“It’s not that serious, and moreover, doctors on the Western Continent are rather horrifying…

I’ve seen them in Kantadar.

Better not bother, it’s just lack of sleep.”

Leon could only nod his head; after all, Kovis’s own knowledge of Athias Medical Skill was probably better than those quack doctors in Farolis City.

Getting a local physician would end up with them not knowing who was treating whom.

“You stay home and rest well, go back to sleep.

Don’t do any chores today, take care of your health.”

Leon felt a bit embarrassed, considering what kind of environments this young man had slept in before?

Now, under his own modest living conditions, it indeed seemed unfair to the other.

“You can sleep in my room; my mattress is thick.

After this trip, I’ll ask the camp’s carpenter to make new big beds for everyone at home.”

Leon really didn’t know whether it was the custom or something else, but at least from what he had seen, the beds in ordinary households were pitifully small, barely enough for one person to lie down.

Unable to roll around in bed every day made even Leon himself uncomfortable.

“Alright~ alright~…

It’s not that exaggerated, I’m not so pampered.

Let’s set off, my lord; Miss Olivia is probably waiting outside,” Kovis dismounted and urged his lord, who was overly concerned about him.

Leon reluctantly gave a few more instructions to rest more before spurring his horse to leave.

Outside the yard, Olivia was already waiting on horseback.

The girl had packed surprisingly quickly, seemingly having prepared her luggage in advance for a trip to the city.

“Let’s go,” Leon spurred his mount to trot.

Olivia also rode forward, side by side.

Heading out on the journey brought a pleased look on her face.

Both were not wearing armor, just their casual clothes with long swords strapped to their waists.

Leon, confident in his greatly improved martial arts and normally having Kovis as a bodyguard, saw no need to don plate armor for such a short distance.

He only wore a cloak over his clothes.

Now, even though Kovis had stayed behind,

having a little Sword Saint by his side meant he wasn’t worried about the safety on the road.

Olivia, in contrast, had changed out of her usual corseted skirt.

Sitting on the saddle, she wore a simple peasant-style corset blouse in earth tones, loose black cloth trousers cinched at the ankles, and short boots tied tightly—the attire completely suitable for a male’s active movement.

But her delicate features and pretty, blonde ponytail blatantly marked her as a young woman.

The obvious rise and fall of her chest, just as one could see, allowed any sighted person to determine her gender.

Leon glanced at Olivia’s travel attire out of the corner of his eye and suddenly thought of something amusing, bursting into a silly laugh.

Olivia looked at him, puzzled.

“What’s wrong?

You’re laughing so weirdly, is there something on my face?” asked the young girl, touching her cheek.

“No, I was just thinking that in some distant world, perhaps non-existent, in a place called Britain, the people there must all be blind,” Leon shook his head, joking.

“?” Olivia was even more confused now.

Despite the laughter, Leon became alert inside.

After their long talk that evening, he understood that Mr.

Brian Sr.’s concerns were not unfounded.

It was one thing for other people, but for a few in the Kingdom, like Count Trolsa, seeing Olivia could inevitably lead to unnecessary associations.

Moreover, if they discovered that this beautiful, blond and blue-eyed girl also possessed extraordinary martial skills, things would become more troublesome.

Clearly, he couldn’t disguise the girl as a man.

Orland people definitely weren’t as blind as those in some world called Britain.

Mistaking a handsome and beautiful youth like Kovis for a girl was quite normal.
