There was a subtle change in the countess's eyes, "But everyone saw that Amanda was choked by Odya and had a difficult birth." ”

"Amanda was choked by the neck of Odia, who had been seduced by a witch. Owen's eyes grew darker and darker, and he shuddered to see it. "And because of the witch's witchcraft, it was difficult to give birth. My honorable mother. ”

The Countess looked at her son for a long time.

As if in a dream, the Marquis of Chris, a neighboring nation, ordered the arrest of the witch named "Margaret" who had cursed and killed his daughter. The head of the Ivero family, Count Ivero, said that he would get the witch to confess her crimes and give an account to the Marquis of Chris.

"Take out the witch's heart, and I want to see the witch's broken limbs, Count Ivro. The Marquis of Chris left the city with these words, and the Ivero family began to track down Margaret's whereabouts in their fiefdom, and searched for women who resembled Margaret, and if they were caught, they were treated as witches and tortured to extract confessions.

Many men, in order to cover up their mistakes and weaknesses, have begun to hand in whistleblowing letters, blaming women for all their misdeeds. There are even rumors that a condemned prisoner can be spared death as long as he can hand over a list of a hundred witches. For a time, the persecution of "witches" in the fiefdom ruled by the Ivero family reached an almost insane level. However, after nearly a month, no one has ever seen the witch named "Margaret", who is said to have caused this tragedy.

They didn't find Yan Fei as "Margaret", but Yan Fei did keep a close eye on this qiē.

"Hua Xi......" Yan Fei grabbed Hua Xi's sleeve tightly and stopped talking, attracting a clear look from the latter.

"Go ahead. Hua Xi promised softly.

There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, but once Yan Fei appears and takes all the crimes on herself, then the women in the entire fiefdom and some men who have been falsely accused of being "witches" will be at peace. Even if this peace is only temporary, it will not last long. But for those poor people who are powerless and are falling in the sea of swords and fires at the moment, this long-lost peace is better than nothing.

"Hmm!" Yan Fei's nose suddenly became sore, and he hugged Hua Xi for the first time. Hua Xi let her hold it like this, slowly stretched out her hand, and stroked the soft hair of the person in her arms.

It is said that people with soft hair have soft hearts. Yan Fei is such a girl. Hua Xi stroked her hair one by one, and her heart hurt one by one. This girl originally had a carefree life, although she was poor, she still had a good vision for the future, and she deserved a bright life. But the magnetic field reversed, fate rotated, and in the vast sea of people, the Night Villa chose her.

I also took a fancy to her.

After the girl came to the villa and knew the whole story, although she complained, she did not run away. She is a small person, but she can have an ignorant but pure heart, and is willing to do all her best to help those tenants who are confused, desperate, or crazy.

The heart of a child is precious. In the face of such a person, he was so ruthless that he restrained her and used her......

Hua Xi, Hua Xi, thousands of years have passed, isn't it the original heart, which has also been worn out by you?

hugged Yan Fei, who was trembling in her arms, tightly hugged her palm that was already in a cold sweat with her backhand, and said very solemnly: "I will accompany you." ”

The wind and the sea are raining, I will protect you by your side.

Sure enough, the appearance of "Margaret" did temporarily stop the crazy atrocities in the Ivero family's fiefdom, because everyone in the family focused on her at this time.

Without the Qiluo Mon Holy Grail, Yan Fei was irresistibly captured and imprisoned in the dungeon of the castle where the Ivero family was located.

How ridiculous it is that such things as intentional homicide and death in childbirth can be blamed on witches. But it wasn't because of a dog eating his brainchild that a man as shrewd and vicious as Owen Ivero used this excuse to exonerate his stupid and reckless brother.

As early as ancient times, people's productivity was relatively low, and most of the happiness and misfortune in life were determined by natural factors. At that time, people feared nature more than they respected it, and when famine, poverty, epidemics, earthquakes and tsunamis and other disasters arose, and people needed an explanation, it was easy to blame them all on the action of an unnatural or supernatural force. For example, youkai, spirits, demon kings, and witches.

Part of the darkness of the European Middle Ages was the fearsome "witch hunt" in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, in which about 100,000 "witches" were executed over three centuries. Among them, most of them are unarmed women from good families. Even a woman who has no evil deeds can be inexplicably accused of being a witch and tortured to death, not to mention a poor woman like Margaret who is directly involved in aristocratic disputes.

The air in the castle dungeon is dark, damp, and there are all kinds of torture instruments. Scattered human bones are buried where the thatch is piled up. These...... It's all written in novels, hey!

Yan Fei rolled her eyes depressedly, looked at the gorgeous bed curtain that she was very familiar with and used as a necessary prop in her nightmare, and sighed in her heart. After all, they were locked up here again...... You can guess what is going to happen on your knees. The reason why Margaret has changed from a cute girl to what she is now is that Yan Fei feels that she seems to understand a little.

"Hua Xi. Yan Fei was a little stunned and wanted to pull Hua Xi who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains, and she could only move a small range, but Hua Xi noticed it as soon as she moved.

"Huh?" Hua Xi sat down in the middle of the bed and looked at Yan Fei.

Looking at Hua Xi, who was suddenly approaching, Yan Fei suddenly felt his heart beat faster. I couldn't help but stutter when I opened my mouth, "You, won't others notice anything strange if you stay like this?"

Hua Xi looked at her and shook her head.

Yan Fei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you must be much better than me! They definitely won't have a chance to see you, haha! But I really want to see their expressions after seeing you..."Yan Fei said that he didn't know what he was talking about later, half because of nervousness, and the other half because of embarrassment.

Embarrassment?Nervousness?Or - shy??

Yan Fei felt that she was not very good at the moment, and the iron chains inlaid with gems bound her hands and feet, locking her to the gorgeous bed. The position next to her was slightly sagging, and the beauty dressed in retro was just looking at her up close with her head down, her silver hair hanging down her cheeks, and the light touch of nothingness provoked the sleeping love thread in her heart......

"That Hua Xi ......" Yan Fei was about to open his mouth to break the silence, but was startled by the loud sound of the iron door suddenly opening. Together with Hua Xi, he turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

Five people came, and the one headed by was the young master of the Ivero family, Owen Ivero.

"My little lamb, do you look at me like this because you miss me too much?"

"......" Yan Fei felt the nausea rising from the depths of his heart for the first time.

Owen let out a string of greasy laughs like a poisonous snake swimming around his body, "No matter how many gems are set, these are still chains." It will wear down your delicate skin and bleed out fascinating blood. He walked to the side of the bed and propped one hand on Yan Fei's pillow, and slowly leaned down to gaze at Yan Fei.

Strange to say, the same action was made by Hua Xi, and Yan Fei would feel a trace of sweetness coming out of the tip of his heart. At this time, Owen did it, but it only made her feel happy to lie on the edge of the bed and vomit all her internal organs.

"What do you want to do?!" Yan Fei glared angrily.

"I don't understand your strange language, Miss Margaret. Owen smiled with a very charming but extremely sinister smile, "Does Miss Margaret not admit that she is a witch and wants to be redeemed?"

Yan Fei's eyes widened when she heard this, she didn't expect that there were people in this world who had more brains than her!

"It seems that Miss Margaret is not going to admit it. Owen stood up and clapped his hands gracefully. The four burly men who came in with him immediately got the order, and walked over and surrounded Yan Fei in one corner. One of them placed the bucket containing boiling hot water in his hand beside Yan Fei, and the height of the bucket could be visually measured to fit into a hand. Yan Fei estimated the depth of the bucket, and there was probably a vague shadow in her heart, and she looked at Aowen nervously. I saw Owen take off a sapphire ring on his finger and throw it into the water with a "bang".

"Miss Margaret, I don't want to believe that you are a witch, the real murderer who bewitched Odea and killed Amanda. In order to prove your innocence, I asked for several methods from the priest of the church of St. Roth. ”

Owen said as he put his hands on the bucket and rubbed his hands gracefully against the steam. "As long as you can remove the Holy Ring I have dropped from this freshly boiling water, and wrap your hand in a bandage to seal it. After three days, if there is no trace after three days, then it will be immediately proven that you are not a witch. ”

"How is that possible!" Yan Fei said angrily: "A normal person's hand is burned, no matter what, it is impossible to recover in three days! Not to mention you-"

"Tut-tut. Owen shook his head and let go of the hand that was covering Yan Fei's mouth just now, "Miss Margaret, is this starting to chant a spell? "Then let's give it a try, and after that, Miss Margaret will be able to go back to her garden and be with your little Tyre. ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly grabbed Yan Fei's wrist that was chained and let out a sinister laugh.
