"Gulp gulp~"
Lola gulped down all the milk in the wooden cup in one go.
Although she felt a bit full, she still ordered another large drink.
After the milk was served, Lola immediately picked up the glass and started drinking.
But this time, she could only drink a third of it before she couldn't drink any more.
I accidentally burped, and the air I exhaled smelled entirely of milk.
Not long ago, Lola met with Anne again, and Anne told Lola that the secret to growing taller was to drink more milk.
Aaron made Annie drink milk every day since she was little, which is why Annie grew up to be so beautiful.
In Lola's tribe, babies are weaned after one year of age and never have the opportunity to come into contact with breast milk again.
Lola firmly believes that this must be the reason why she is short!
So after that day, Lola drank milk every day.
But she's already fifteen; is it really too late?
After Lola put down her glass, she noticed the three men opposite her staring intently at her.
"A little girl?"
"She herself said she's an adult."
"Come on, my ten-year-old sister is about the same height as her!"
These comments made Lola both angry and sad.
But Lola understood that there was only one reason why these words were hurtful: they were all telling the truth.
She cleared her mind, trying not to think about those words.
Lola looked across and recognized the only person sitting in the middle a few times.
This man's name was Draco Carson, and he claimed to be a knight.
Lola and Draco had met several times, most recently when she was investigating why Lola was being targeted by the Unsworn Knights in Nailport under Draco's protection.
However, Lola is not good at solving cases, so Draco basically has to collect and analyze clues all by himself.
Finally, he told Lola that all the evidence indicated that Brownie was investigating the disappearance of slave king Valentine.
However, there seems to be no sign of any members of the Unsworn Knights at the moment, so Draco speculates that they may have found other clues about Valen, or they may have gone to deal with other matters first.
But now that Lola has killed Valen, the Unsworn Knights are unable to complete their mission, and since the Unsworn Knights are bound to fulfill their duty, they will eventually return to Zhishen Port.
Therefore, Nailport remains quite dangerous for Laura.
Lola told Anne the results, and Anne asked for more details and learned about the seal ring.
She suggested that Laura use the ring to order Valen's men to withdraw their commission from the Unsworn Knights.
The Unsworn Knights would then cease their investigation into the case, and the threat facing Lola would disappear.
Before meeting the three, Lola had already stamped the document Anne had written for her and sent it to the slave king's lair.
Lola's reason for meeting with these three people was at Draco's request.
After all, Draco had not only saved Lola's life, but had also provided her with a lot of help afterward, so she did not refuse.
Perhaps realizing that continuing to criticize Lola's height was pointless, Draco said:
"Then, let me introduce you. This is the person in charge of the first incident, Miss Laura Booker, and these two beside me are my friends, Sir Barton Richmond and mercenary captain Ajax Schmidt."
Lola nodded to the two people opposite her.
The bearded Button, his broad face contorted with distrust, scrutinized Lola:
"Hey, little girl, did you really kill someone yourself and leave behind an act of righteousness?"
"Don't underestimate this girl, brother. I've seen her abilities; she's no ordinary person," Draco said with a smile. "Therefore, I can also be certain that the case in Nailport was indeed her doing."
"We trust your judgment, Sir Draco. Indeed, appearances can be deceiving. We've both heard the legend of the Duchess of Lorraine, 'The Servant of Evil,' and Fiddler, 'Little Giant,' is even a dwarf. I've never heard of a short woman like that before, but this little girl sitting across from us might just be the first legend of her kind."
Ajax had dark skin, likely from prolonged sun exposure; the red spots on his face were proof. He paused mid-sentence, then suddenly turned to Lola, raising an eyebrow.
"But is she really that mysterious man's representative? If that man is as wise as you say, why would he choose a child as his agent?"
"I'm not a child," Lola thought, "and Anne is a young lady, not a gentleman."
However, Lola was too lazy to voice these thoughts.
"I've spoken with Little Lola a few times, and judging from those interactions, she's definitely not a meticulous girl. So, the things she says to me must have been guided by someone knowledgeable, and—"
As he spoke, Draco pulled out the note Lola had torn up for him last time.
"The code name 'Righteousness' was given to me by Little Lola; her own code name was 'Hero.'"
Patton also pulled out his own note: "This is mine, 'Boom.'"
"It is 'loyalty',"
Draco corrected her, then turned back to Lola and gestured to Ajax beside him, "Little Lola, Captain Ajax is absolutely trustworthy, I can vouch for that. After I told him what we're doing, he's also interested in joining. According to that gentleman, are there any spots still available?"
Lola simply nodded, then tore off another Chinese character, handed it out, and read:
"Courage".
Ajax took the paper and nodded slightly:
"I'll remember, 'Yong,' little girl. Please tell that gentleman I will cherish it."
"Um."
"Well then, Annie, let's get straight to the point," Draco said. "What exactly is our goal?"
"Target?"
"Yes, for the past two months, Sir Barton and I have been operating according to the previous pattern, if anyone requests it."
We would kill for them and leave behind our own unique code names,
Draco said,
"And these actions have indeed yielded some results. Our deeds have spread widely around us, and many people have even inquired about our existence, wanting us to seek justice for them."
"Of course, the investigators have begun investigating the matter, but the chances of finding evidence and arresting us are slim. However,..."
"And then what? We can't just keep doing this forever, can we?"
"That's right!"
Upon hearing this, Patton suddenly slammed his fist on the table.
"What's the difference between killing some scoundrels and my usual work of suppressing bandits? I only joined because I was tired of that kind of life."
"But if we keep going like this, isn't it just another way to get by? I've had enough of prostitutes and village women; I want to sleep with noblewomen, I want to fuck princesses!"
Draco patted Barton on the shoulder, signaling him to control his emotions, but also raised an eyebrow at Lola:
"Although Patton's words were a bit rude, 'fucking the princess' is indeed a target, but what is our target? Little Lola, what are your thoughts on this?"
Lola doesn't have any grand ambitions; she simply wants to help her fellow countrymen when they suffer and, incidentally, respond to the requests of the vulnerable.
As for what kind of goals these people need to pursue, Lola simply cannot draw a conclusion for them.
Therefore, Lola simply shook her head in silence.
Draco frowned. "Didn't you even tell him what that gentleman was thinking?"
Lola shook her head again.
Draco's expression turned solemn: "Lola, we want to see that gentleman."
“I told you, that person isn’t around here,” Lola replied, “and he didn’t have time to come over.”
"Then let's go find him," Draco said without hesitation. "We need to know why we're doing this."
“No one forced you to do this,” Laura said, her eyebrows raised.
“Indeed, no one forced us, little girl,” Ajax said, “but even if we did it voluntarily, even if that gentleman felt it necessary to conceal the plan, he should have let us know—our ideals, oh yes, what our ideals are.”
"There is no such thing as a product; you're just overthinking it," Lola told the truth.
"You just don't know it," Barton said. "If it were me, I wouldn't tell everything to a little girl."
"I'm a grown woman!" Lola said angrily.
Barton scoffed, "Then prove it to me in bed, little girl."
"That's enough!"
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, but Draco intervened in time to stop it. After a sigh, he then spoke to Lola.
"Little Lola, tell me how I can see that gentleman. Since you can't explain it clearly, I'd like to talk to him in person."
"That's very far from here," Laura replied reluctantly.
“It’s alright,” Draco said. “Even if it’s far, I believe it will be a meaningful trip, so little Lola, tell us the address.”
Lola couldn't possibly tell Draco where Annie was. While Annie was intelligent, she was no match for these towering warriors.
There was no room for resistance; Lola could not allow danger to approach Anne so easily.
These people clearly wouldn't give up just because Lola refused.
But Lola had no idea how to deal with the situation at hand.
She pondered for a long time with a serious expression, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
Lola realized that she was indeed not good at handling this situation, but if it were Anne, she should be able to find a solution quickly.
"I understand. I will tell that man what you said today, and if he agrees to see you,"
I'll give you the address, is that alright?
Barton snorted, and Ajax raised an eyebrow.
Draco, looking equally reluctant, said, "I want to know now, but—well, I'll wait for your news."
They made an appointment with Lola for their next meeting and then left.
Only Lola remained on the table.
She felt a little guilty; now she would have to trouble Annie again.
Lola also got up, intending to leave Nailport.
But then I noticed the glass of milk on the table, which was still two-thirds full.
So full.
Lola touched her soft little belly.
But in order to grow taller, "glug glug~"
