There is an inn called 'Roman' near the east gate of the town of Tyre.

Because of the martial law in the town, and the guards patrolling back and forth, the inn has been out of business for several days. Passing caravans no longer stop at inns, but head straight to the nearby town of Hattis.

The proprietress was cleaning the hall, the proprietor Roman II was dozing off at the bar, and as for the guys in the shop, they had long been dismissed.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the wooden door of the hotel was violently opened, and a loud bang was made, and several rays of light carried a figure into the dark hall of the hotel.

Roman II had a very short temper, he thought it was his wife who made the noise, and casually scolded: "Damn, can you be lighter, do you want me to sell you to human traffickers?"

However, when Roman II's hazy eyes followed the prestige, the angry expression on his face turned into a smiling face like turning a book.

Entering the inn was a young man, dressed in a gray cloak with a new leather ring looming under it, and a short sword on his belt at his waist that made Roman II frown, but only frowned.

The young man walked into the hotel and walked straight through the dark hall to the bar.

If any of the town government officials were present now, they would have recognized him right away... Tabor, the tax collector, the young man who raped the daughter of the clerk of the village of Byansey.

"Is there still a room? Tarber said, pulling out a cup of silver from his bosom and tossing it on the bar.

"Bang Bang

The rattle of silver coins on the bar attracted the attention of Roman II. He looked at Tabor suspiciously, then he picked up the coin and put it to his mouth and bit it again, then put it under the lamp and looked closely.

"Let the lights in the hall be turned on, don't you see any guests?"

After confirming the authenticity of the money, the innkeeper immediately asked his wife to light the oil lamp in the hall.

"No!" Taber declined his boss's kindness, "you just need to take me to my room." ”

"Please come with me, honored guest. Roman II smiled even more, and immediately glanced at his wife, signaling that there was no need to light the lamp.

The room that Roman II led Tabor to see was very good... Spacious, and airy, and best of all, he didn't ask for Tabor's name.

"Distinguished guest, would you like some food, my wife's barbecue is unique in the town of Tyre. The innkeeper grinned, a mouth full of yellow teeth exposed to the air.

Tabor nodded, "Of course, it's better to be faster." ”

As he spoke, he took out another silver coin and handed it to Roman II.

"Half an hour at most, you wait!"

Roman II bowed as he quickly exited the room.

Tabor watched the boss leave, and when he was the only one left in the room, he quickly closed the door.

When he turned to look around the room, he subconsciously grabbed the short sword at his waist, which made him feel a little safe.

Tabor was tired, he walked here from his sister Kara's manor outside the imperial capital, he walked for three whole days, tired he lay on the wooden table, his eyes looked through the gap in the window to the dome of the town hall in the distance, his eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

"Janice!" he whispered his lover's name.

However, no one is destined to respond.

Tarber and Janice grew up together in the village of Bernse, and their parents knew each other well, so it was natural for the two to fall in love.

If there are no accidents, they are destined to be combined.

However, all this changed because of the development of Janice's family.

Three years ago, Janice's father became wealthy after earning a farm thanks to an investment.

Two years ago, Janice's father became the village clerk.

A year ago, Taber's marriage proposal was rejected by Janice's father, because he was trying to improve his family's status, and finding a husband with status for his daughter Janice was naturally the fastest way.

Moreover, he already has a crush on one person, a declining aristocratic young master.

And the noble young master's family also took a fancy to Janice's father's wealth.

The families hit it off and even held an engagement banquet.

Later, Tarbor's normal meeting with Janice was forbidden by Janice's father.

...

Tabor thought he was going to lose Janice, and for the first time he hated and envied the nobles from the bottom of his heart. He began to be depressed, and every day he only knew lying under a big plane tree at the head of the village and staring at the sky in a daze.

This continued until one day half a year ago.

On that day, Sir Andrew, Marquis Fett's bodyguard, passed by the village of Bernse, and he spotted Tarbor's sister Carla, who was immediately attracted to her.

Because this woman looks so much like another woman.

A woman who made Marquis Fett banished from his family, a woman who made Marquis Fett prefer to give his life for it.

But this Carla was married, much to Sir Andrew's dismay.

However, when Sir André heard the villagers' ridicule of Tabor hear it, he instantly imagined a perfect plan in his mind.

...

Tabor will always remember the scene at that time: he was sitting under a plane tree at the head of the village, and the cold chill of the ground was still fresh in his memory, when suddenly, a well-dressed man condescendingly asked: "If you want to marry your clerk's daughter, listen to me, I promise to let you get your wish!"

When Tarber looked up at the man, the sun's rays shining through the treetops shone on the other's body, like the legendary paladin's holy power.

Without thinking, he agreed to the man.

Immediately after, a terrible conspiracy befell Kara's family.

Three days later, Tabor's brother-in-law ran away because of 'gambling debts', and his sister Carla was sold to traffickers.

A month later, his sister became the lover of the Marquis of Fett, and assumed the title of baron, known as Baroness Cara.

...

Three months ago, when Tarber approached Janice's father with a group of soldiers from the Imperial Capital City Defenses, the other party immediately agreed to Tarbor's marriage proposal.

The two people who love each other seem to have finally stayed together, and they are even planning a wedding.

But...

That has all changed again.

Tabor's dear sister personally chose another bride for him, the daughter of Viscount Lance, and it is rumored that all the eastern part of Fort Iruk is the family domain of this Viscount Lance.

Moreover, Viscount Lance had only one daughter.

In other words, as long as Tabor marries the daughter of Viscount Lance, then in a few decades, he will have a vast hereditary domain.

Tabor's parents, like Janice's parents, stopped the two from communicating and canceled the wedding they were planning.

Tabor is so angry about this that he goes to his sister Carla and tells her, "My wife can only be Janice!".

Kara is not angry and even wishes Tarber and Janice for their love.

However, when Tarber happily found Janice and wanted to tell her the good news, he saw Janice's cold corpse.

Moreover, he inexplicably became the murderer of Janice.

Tarber didn't know how he had left the room, and by the time he came to his senses, he was in a manor near Elok Castle.

His sister's messenger told him that he had to marry Viscount Lance's daughter, and that it was next month.

Tabor finally realized that his sister had planned all this, and he returned to the imperial capital that night to ask his sister why she did it.

It was a terrible night!
