Chapter 4
Next, the translator began to ask Ella's origin under the gesture of the ambassador.
Ella, who had been prepared for a long time, told them that she was the daughter of King Haber III of Farrell Kingdom, Ella Sheril Haber, who was here because of an accident, and said that if they could send her home, she would be happy.My father will definitely thank them again.
These are not lies. Ella is very clear that she is not a good liar, and her acting skills cannot deceive these people whose identities seem to be not simple. Rather than fabricating some clumsy lies and being exposed, it is better to tell the truth.
And it would be great if they could help her find her way home, she misses her mother Roz and her lovely fairy elders.
The ambassador asked the interpreter beside him in a low voice: "Do you know where the country she mentioned is?"
The interpreter said: "My lord, I have never been to the other side of the sea, so I don't know which countries are there."
In fact, so far, the language he has learned has no room for development, and he never thought that it will be useful one day. Learning it is just to make his resume look better.
Ambassador: "Can you guess the approximate range?"
The translator thought for a while and said, "My father said that the language I speak is the northern language of the Mio continent. Although the princess speaks something different, it should also be the northern language."
The Mio continent is another continent on the other side of the sea. On the north side of the Feiluo continent where they are located, the two continents face each other across the sea.The middle part of the African continent is separated from the sea area by Sathya, the most powerful and richest country on the African continent. Most of the merchants from Mio complete their transactions in Sathia and leave rarely going deep into the African continent.Internally, they hardly saw people from the Mio continent in Kata, and what they could see were only some uneducated slaves, and their understanding of that continent was very limited.
But what is certain is that the area of the Miou continent is not smaller than that of Feiluo, but the number of countries on it is several times larger than that of Feiluo, because the desert area on the Feiluo continent is vast, and many areas are not suitable for human habitation, while MiouOn the other side of the mainland, the land is relatively rich, and every inch of land can support people. Therefore, many countries there are much smaller than those on the Feiluo side. Many small countries even have only one city, which is bigger than their Feiluo continent.The tribes that lived at the southern tip were even smaller.
And if the country of Stephen mentioned by Ella is in the north, then it is very far away from the Feiluo continent, and if you haven't heard of it, it means that it is probably a small country.
After thinking about it this way, the ambassador felt more at ease.
——If Ella knew how the ambassador viewed the Kingdom of Farretel, she would probably be speechless for a long time. How could a country with "fairy tales" as its people in the fairy tale world be a small country, even if it was a small country at the beginning?, after several generations of marriages with other countries and mergers, Ferretel is already one of the best big countries in the fairy tale world.
In any case, this girl is now in the hands of their mission, as long as they send her to King Sathya to complete their mission, any troubles after that will have nothing to do with them.
He kept all these thoughts in his heart, and comforted Ella more and more kindly, saying that they would help her find out the news, and before that, she could have a good rest on the boat.
Although only the interpreter can communicate with Ella, but the identity of the other party is obviously not suitable to take care of Ella, so the ambassador kept his maid.
"You can tell her anything, and if you can't communicate, you can also find an interpreter."
Ella readily agreed and thanked the ambassador for his kindness.
After there was no one in the room, Ella put a smile on her face and thought about her situation.
Ella is not really innocent and ignorant, on the contrary, after being reincarnated, she always has to think more about such a stepmother who wants to kill her.
After a short conversation, Ella became more and more sure that the ambassador was suspicious.
Although the Kata ambassador was very friendly, it was a strange thing for an ambassador to be unwarranted by a stranger of unknown origin, but to be more friendly than expected.
Before figuring out the situation, Ayla reminded herself to be more careful.
At the same time, after confirming that she is likely to cross again and it is a strange world again, Ella is indeed a little sad, but not very sad.
The fairy tale world is indeed a good world, but Ella doesn't have a high sense of belonging to it. All she cares about is her mother Ross and fairy elders.
But Ella is sixteen years old, and soon she will leave the Fairy Forest and return to the human world. In the future, she will have less and less contact with the fairies. The separation is already doomed. Now she just left a few days earlier.The fairies may be saddened by her disappearance, but their forgetful nature and long life will make them forget it as soon as her great-grandmother left them.
And leaving the fairy tale world at this time actually made Ella relieved. After all, she didn't need to go back to the dangerous palace to fight wits and courage with the new queen.
And she is almost sixteen years old. According to tradition, her king's father will make a marriage contract and hold a wedding for her soon. Now there is no such thing, and Ella is a little lucky.
After the ambassador came, Ella's door was not locked again.
Her movements are not restricted, but not completely free either.
Regardless of whether Ella was walking around in the cabin or looking around on the deck, the maid who was assigned to take care of her followed her silently, never making a sound to stop her, but never leaving her.
Under this seemingly tolerant treatment, there are some abnormalities hidden.
For example, whenever Ella wants to go out, she has to wrap herself up like an Arab woman, covering her head to toe. The difference is that real Arab women mostly use black gauze, but she is white.
Although the interpreter told her that she did it because she was worried about getting sunburned, Ella felt that it was more like preventing others from seeing her.
What made her doubt this even more was the attitude of the soldiers on board who were in charge of rowing and guarding.
Although those soldiers would not obstruct her actions, they would closely watch her every move when she appeared, especially when she was close to the edge of the ship, they would show vigilance in their eyes.
That expression was not so much to prevent her from doing bad things, but more to say that she was afraid that she would jump into the river and run away.
Secondly, Ella found that they were very repulsed to learn the language here, or to repel her from understanding the current situation.
After Ella expressed that she wanted to learn the language here, the attitude of the translator who was very enthusiastic about Ella changed. He refused her request on the grounds that he was busy with work and could not spare time.Seldom appear in front of Ella.
Ella had no choice but to ask the maid who followed her all the time, but the maid could only speak Katha, and her teaching attitude was not positive. After a few days, even with the learning ability that Ella was blessed by the fairy, she only learned a few sentences.Simple Katha phrases are far from normal communication.
And the strangest thing is that Ella found that except for the ambassador and the interpreter, the rest of the ship were soldiers and servants, and they were all men.It can be seen that it belongs to a young woman, and a woman of high status.
Ella once asked the maid about this, but the other party kept silent about it and even avoided the question in a panic.
According to Ella's observation, there are five ships in this mission, and Ella's ship is in the middle of the fleet, which is very convenient for her to check the situation of other ships.
The configuration of the ship was similar to that of the ship she was on. Each ship had soldiers responsible for rowing and guarding the boat. Two of the ships had obviously more soldiers. One was the one she was on, the other was the one behind them, and the two ships hadThe number of soldiers on the ship is more than 30, and the number of soldiers on the other three ships is a little less.
Obviously, the people on these two ships should be more important.
So under such tight precautions, what happened to the original owner of that room?
Thinking that the fleet she was on was a mission, and that there was a set of extremely luxurious clothes in the room she was living in, Ella quickly had a guess that was close to the truth.
I'm afraid this mission has the task of sending off the bride in addition to being a mission, and something must have happened to the bride who was sent off, which caused the atmosphere of the mission to be very dignified.
Ella had thought that they wanted her to replace the bride, but she dismissed this idea when she thought that her appearance was completely different from the locals, and it was impossible to get away with it.
But Ayla, who is self-aware of how attractive her face is, still thinks they're trying to trick her.
Ella wants to run away.
But these people are really strict. Even if she rests alone in the room, there are people guarding the door, and the windows in the room are not big enough for her to get out.
In fact, even if she can go out, Ella can't swim, and it may be because of the change of the world. Now when she uses magic, the loss of magic power is several times higher than before. Take the flying technique that she has difficulty learning as an example.The best result is that she can fly for half an hour at a time. Now she will fall due to lack of magic power after flying for ten minutes at most, and her flying speed is slower than walking. The river is at least a few hundred meters wide.But she would fall into the river and drown before she flew far.
Ayla regrets that she has not learned underwater breathing.
And she doubts that this is a magic-free world. In order not to expose herself, Ella thinks it's better not to use magic.
Cutting off the idea of escaping directly from the water, Ella planned to find a chance to leave after the ship docked.
The mission stayed in place for several days because of the princess's escape, which caused their scheduled arrival time to be delayed. In order to catch up with the schedule, the mission's fleet accelerated and arrived at Shadia.No more stops were made before the capital.
So after confirming that all actions were futile, Ella no longer bothered to investigate anything. She stayed in the room most of the time, and only occasionally went to the deck to take a look at the scenery. This kind of cooperation made everyone else very satisfied., but the lessons learned from the past made them dare not relax.
