Chapter 891: Chapter 265: Would you two please come with me?
At the boarding gate of the ferry, Selene in a maid outfit had long been waiting.
From a distance, as soon as she saw Aleister, she dashed over and crouched down to embrace him, deeply inhaling that unique fragrance from Aleister’s body, which only she could smell, becoming increasingly intense.
Selene’s figure was a bit taller than Aleister... After she crouched down, they were about the same height. Because of Aleister and Selene’s beauty, this scene became exceptionally noticeable. Passersby who saw it let out friendly laughter.
“Alright, Selene. Stop it now.”
Aleister pointed out the identity and name of the Honey Badger before saying, “Let’s go.”
“Miss Crowley... right?”
...
They had just boarded the ship when they were immediately intercepted by a burly middle-aged man who greeted them with a beaming smile.
Some scales were visible on his skin, clearly indicating that he was a half-breed of Lizardfolk and another race.
The man’s arms were even thicker than Aleister’s waist, and he stood about two meters tall. His ears were slightly pointed, his back hunched, his face replete with fierce flesh, and his chin bore butt-like lobed projections. Both his shoulders and upper arms were tattooed with purple-blue anchor tattoos, giving him the appearance of a ferocious pirate leader.
Just seeing him caused some of the guests to be startled. Others lingered at the bottom of the stairs, hesitant to board the ship.
But Aleister had not the slightest fear in the face of him.
She simply asked in a soft voice, “Captain, sir?”
It wasn’t difficult to recognize this.
On the Elf ferry where everyone was supposed to give up their weapons, only he wore a saber and a revolver at his waist.
“Haha, you recognized me!”
This ugly and fierce-looking captain, someone who could make children cry, revealed a smile that was almost ingratiating: “I am Elvan Lachado. The captain of this ship... You are a distinguished guest, please come with me.”
Saying so, he respectfully performed an Elf bow towards Aleister.
This act was witnessed by those around them.
A black-haired boy with glasses and freckles saw this and hurriedly walked to a room, whispering to a gray-haired youth with messy hair inside.
After hearing about this, the expression of the gray-haired youth immediately turned sour.
They whispered to each other for a while, then jostled one another and quietly left the room.
Once they were out, their voices grew slightly louder.
“They will demand compensation based on the loss of a real item! After all, why would such a noble lady wear an imitation when going out? If you return the item, she will think it’s an insult—mocking her family for falling into ruin, unable to even lose a fake properly!”
“How could this be...”
Dimitri hesitated, then shook his head: “You think too badly of nobility. Isn’t Albert a noble too? And Miss Aurora...”
“...Albert is an exception. And Aurora... Her parents are dead, and her inheritance has been taken by relatives. She can’t be considered a noble.” Paul hesitated for a moment, his voice growing quieter and more gentle.
“Doesn’t that still show that there are exceptions?”
Dimitri tried to convince his friend to join him: “Perhaps that lady is also such a kind person?”
“Unlikely, her surname is Crowley. People from that family all have some mental issues...”
Paul remained firm in his refusal.
But as he spoke, he suddenly realized something: “Are you just trying to chat her up because she’s pretty?”
“...She’s so pretty, so she must have a kind heart too.”
Dimitri didn’t deny it and simply pleaded with his companion: “Come with me... I’m scared to go alone. I don’t know what taboos the nobles have, or what opera they like to watch... I need you to accompany me.”
Hearing this, Paul became furious: “You’re not after the value of the item, you just want her personal belongings! And you want to drag me along with you, I tell you, no way!
“Don’t forget, we are on a mission this sea voyage! If something goes wrong because of you, the teacher will turn us into walking corpses!”
“—I think the two of you should make a trip. Explain clearly what mission you have!”
Suddenly, a pair of hands landed on their shoulders. A calm middle-aged man’s voice came from behind them.
They turned around in horror—only to see the lady’s butler had silently appeared behind them.
Paul’s mind worked fast: “It was that passerby just now!”
That passerby was actually the butler disguised as someone else!
“That’s right, it’s me.”
The butler, expressionless, exerted slight pressure with the hands on their shoulders and repeated, “Gentlemen... please come with me.”
