Chapter 46: Ups and Downs

  On the edge of a forest far to the south of the Haiyueguan military camp, Julia in her armor looked spirited and heroic, but at this moment her mood was low.

  Laila, dressed in a black robe, expressionless, said coldly: "Yulia, do you have any other questions? Rain is still waiting for me."

  "Rain? Hmph, Layla, you're just a woman given to Rain by my brother, do you think he'll care about you? Haha, what a joke." Julia said with some sarcastic tone, finally cracking a smile on her face, but it was somewhat forced.

  "Hmph, even as a slave or servant, I will still be by his side." Leya retorted fearlessly, wrapping her black cloak tightly around her hands, and then combing through her golden hair, a happy and contented smile falling on her face.

  "Hmph, Layla, you're dreaming! Even if you were to become a slave or servant, you wouldn't be able to stay by Rain's side. Give up on that idea already!" Julia said with malice.

  "Who...?" Leya was also speechless with anger, her blue eyes welling up with tears, crying uncontrollably, her body trembling from time to time, heartbroken to the extreme, the smooth luster of her golden long hair tied in a ponytail seemed to have lost its radiance.

  At this time, Julia's heart was also very uncomfortable. Leila was only a few years older than her, and now she was still crying sadly, so she couldn't bear to continue discussing this topic.

  "Leya, for the sake of your loved ones, for the sake of your friends, I admire your courage. Renn has deeply hurt you and he will be held accountable, but not now, do you know? The military camp is full of stinky men, it's inconvenient for you to be there, if you..." Yulia comforted, unsure whether it was due to Leya's tears or other reasons, but Yulia changed her mind and no longer made things difficult for her, a poor woman who had lost her father and was recently widowed.

  "Join your girls' legion? Julia, you can't be serious, I'm...” When Layla heard Julia's invitation, she was shocked, stopped crying, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and looked at Julia with an incredulous gaze, still unable to conceal her excited emotions.

  "Ah! I'm serious!" Julia smiled and nodded.

  "Thank you! Thank you......" Lai Ya said gratefully.

  Suddenly, Julia's expression changed and she quickly stood in front of Leila, gazing at the low shrubs in the distance.

  "Who's there? Come out quickly, or I won't be polite!" Yulia swiftly drew her sword and shouted loudly.

  "Sister Julia, it's us, don't be angry!" A clear and crisp voice came over, followed by several people emerging from behind the bushes, holding crossbows. They were Julia's personal female bodyguards.

  "Alice, Rosa, Fleuris, how did you end up following me? You actually dare to disobey military orders?" Julia said with some anger.

  "Officer Yulia, we have been ordered to protect you." One of the petite blonde girls said seriously, standing at attention.

  "You guys are getting more and more disobedient, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back. Since you're here, escort this big sister back to the city, I still have some things to take care of at the military camp. I'm warning you, take good care of her." Julia smiled, put away her sword, gave some instructions, said goodbye to Layla, and then rushed off in the direction of the military camp.

  Leya gazed at Julia's receding back, filled with emotion. The past few days had been a rollercoaster of events, but what brought her the most joy was meeting Julia, a woman deeply in love with Rain.

  ??※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

  When Julia hurried back to the barracks, she happened to meet her brother Somat, who was pacing back and forth at the door, sighing from time to time.

  "Big... brother, I want to ask you for a person? It's..." Yulia explained her intention, at this time she was still panting slightly due to rushing on the road.

  "Julia, what are you joking about? She's a thief by origin, she can't stay with you. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Father?" Somat strongly opposed.

  "Big brother, big sister's guards aren't they also from a background of bandits and thieves? How come it doesn't work when it comes to me?" Yulia retorted.

  "Shh! Julia, keep your voice down, do you want... " Somat's face suddenly changed color and he looked around cautiously, warning.

  "Hmph, it's settled then! I've decided on Laya!" Yulia said, and turned to leave.

  "Wait!" Somat hastened his pace and followed, the two of them walking a long way.

  "Julia, what's going on with you and Prince Cardore?" Somarte asked somewhat impatiently when they were alone.

  "Haha, big brother, so you still remember this matter! Let me make it clear to you once again: I... don't... want... to... be... a... queen!" Julia said and walked away with her head held high.

  "Julia, Julia..." Somat shouted for half a day, but she didn't turn back. She paced back and forth, let out a long sigh, shook her head in frustration, and headed towards the military camp.

  In front of his own tent, Somat was still anxiously rubbing his hands, paying close attention to the movements inside the tent. At this moment, he couldn't calm down.

  Dozens of Cardore's guards surrounded the general's tent, Somat even if he wanted to go in was very difficult, these guards were all on high alert, and even for Somat they were disdainful, not putting this border commander in their eyes at all.

  "Ran, I'll settle the score with you sooner or later!" Somat said angrily in his heart. As a border general, he couldn't even return to his own camp, and now all his resentment was directed at Ran.

  "Haha......" bursts of hearty laughter came, followed by Cardore and Rain walking out of the tent.

  "Your Highness!" The soldiers chorused in unison, displaying his illustrious status.

  "Ah!" Cadore didn't say much more, and with a smile, continued talking to Lain as he quickly approached the anxious Somart.

  "Somat, where is your sister Yulia? And that Lay... Ya, why haven't they come back yet? Is it you..." Kadore said thoughtfully, he was quite distrustful of Somat.

  "Alas, Your Highness, Julia and the others..." Somart hastily replied, then recounted the whole story.

  "Ah?!" Both Lain and Cardore were shocked, exclaiming in unison. Before they could regain their composure, a series of rapid footsteps echoed through the air.

  At this time, Su Ma Te hastily turned around, startled and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking: He... how did he also come? Alas...
