Chapter 7: The Blockers 2
"Shut !!"
Rebecca clutched her chest and shouted, "Bold maniac, you mean the disappearance of the yeoman has something to do with my Clayderman family?!
Not to mention the officials who came with the sheriff, even the yeoman farmers were so frightened by Rebecca's resoluteness that they turned pale and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
As for the sheriff, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, his mouth was closed, but he could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
It wasn't until the knight came up to take him in custody that he cried out for help like a drowning man.
"Your Highness spares your life! Your Highness spares your life! Your subordinates have no such intention!
"Wait!" Vivien Leigh stopped the knight, and the knight of the family looked at Rebecca's eyes, and when she saw that she didn't say anything further, he quietly stepped aside.
"Then what do you mean?" asked Vivien Leigh, and seeing that he did not answer for a long time, she urged again, "Say it quickly, don't delay your own life!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness, Princess, and your subordinates say that there is still a court minister in charge of the principality in Savoie......"
As soon as these words came out, the accompanying palace officials were in an uproar. The ministers of the palace have spoken one after another - kill this fang to set the record straight.
"Wait!" Vivien Leigh snapped and turned to Rebecca to petition, "Mother, in fact, there have been many cases of disappearances on the way back from my daughter. The daughter also suspects that this matter is very involved, and asks the mother to order that the matter be handed over to the daughter, and the daughter will definitely give an explanation to the mother and the citizens!"
The sheriff and the yeoman farmers breathed a sigh of relief, and they did not dare to come out, and waited for Rebecca to make a decision.
"Nonsense! How do you know about investigating a case? Rebecca pressed her forehead, and she turned her gaze to Charlotte, Edie, Cynthia, and the others, and finally stopped at Evan for a moment.
This slight movement was quickly captured by Charlotte, who looked at Evan with questioning eyes. The latter looked at Vivien Leigh with twinkling eyes, and he was not relieved until he heard Rebecca's "nonsense".
At this moment, Evan noticed Rebecca's gaze resting on him. He was slightly stunned, rubbed his hands and put them to his mouth and sighed.
He naturally turned his gaze, and happened to look at Charlotte who was standing behind him, and he was stunned again, and showed a pale smile at Charlotte.
Charlotte tugged at the corners of her lips and clenched her fists.
At this time, Rebecca said, "You guys go back first, and I will send someone to investigate the serial disappearances." For the sake of the princess's intercession, I spared your life this time, for the sake of the princess's intercession. ”
With that, she tiredly lifted the door and slipped into the carriage.
"Thank you for your mercy! Thank you for your mercy!" the sheriff and the yeoman farmer fell to their knees.
The former wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glared coldly at the bold yeoman farmers. But I heard Vivien Li remind, "Sheriff, if I hear you attack them, I don't need my mother, I will let you taste the bitter fruit!"
"Don't dare!
The yeoman farmers received Rebecca and Vivien Leigh's reply, and each of them left happily as if they had found their loved ones. Vivien Leigh beckoned to the Knight of the Rose behind her, said a few words to him, and when the convoy set off again, Charlotte saw the knight ride away from the group.
Charlotte looked at Evan again, who also noticed the scene and looked thoughtfully at the departing knight.
Evan slowed down and came to an inconspicuous corner of the group, when Charlotte found him.
"It's still so cold in the north, isn't it?"
Evan looked at Charlotte for two seconds, then smiled palely and said, "Who says it's not?"
"Mom made the right decision, and I don't think it was the right choice to let Vivien Leigh investigate the case. Charlotte continued.
Aven's exhaled breath condensed into a white mist in the air, "I agree. ”
The convoy continued on its way, and about an hour later, the knight returned.
He walked with Vivien Leigh for a few minutes before retreating to the Knights of the Rose's array. After that, Vivien Leigh rode alone for a few more minutes, then looked left and right in the convoy for a while, and rode towards Charlotte.
"Hey, I've thought about it, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Vivien Leigh waved at Charlotte, "I just sent the knight to the sheriff to find out, and guess what I found." ”
- I knew it!
"Mom wants you not to meddle in this. Charlotte exhaled, "I don't think that's a wise choice. ”
- Not in every sense of the word. Charlotte thought to Aven's actions just now, and thought secretly.
"Are you really Charlotte, not some underground monster in a cloak of illusion?" Fervien Leigh's eyes widened exaggeratedly, "What did you tell me Mommy? Please, since you were a child, when did you take Mom's words to heart?" ”
Charlotte was actually dumbfounded by her, he was stunned for a while, and said with a smile, "It seems that my brother is really not doing well?"
The little face under Vivien Leigh's hood showed a rare bright smile, which seemed to be able to defeat Charlotte and make her extremely satisfied.
"If only you knew that your brother was incompetent!"
Charlotte shook the reins and gestured to leave. Seeing this, Fei Wenli hurriedly said, "Okay, don't be angry! Let me tell you, although it is not much, but the sheriff did investigate some clues." He thinks it's most likely something to do with the Duchy Chancellor working in the Savoie Castle, and you know that every once in a while the towns outside will be delivering supplies to the castle, right? ”
Charlotte thought for a moment and asked, "Anything else?"
"That's all the sheriff can find, and he can't find out inside Fort Savoie unless he dies. Vivien Leigh replied.
"I see. ”
"You know? That's it?!" Vivien Leigh exclaimed, amazed at Charlotte's attitude.
"Or else?"
"Wait, wait, how can you be so calm? Don't you think it's strange? Charlotte. "Come to think of it, whoever that sinner is, why does he need so many people?" and think of the death of His Majesty Elbert, I have reason to suspect that some ambitious fellows are planning against our family in Fort Savoie. ”
Charlotte sighed and asked, "What do you mean...... Those missing people have been trained by careerists to be dead soldiers?"
"......," said Vivien Leigh, though she felt that it was inappropriate, "yes." ”
"Even a thousand of such dead men are useless, and the defenses of Fort Sava are not so weak. ”
“…… So, what do you say!" Vivien Leigh pulled the reins angrily, and it was only when she faced Charlotte that she probably showed the demeanor of a little girl.
"I think the sheriff misunderstood something. Charlotte said seriously, "So Vivien Leigh, listen to your mother, mother has her own arrangements for this, and we will have to be busy when we return to Savoieburg!"
Vivien Leigh was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Are you serious, blind to a threat that might be imminent? It's not like you." ”
"I'm serious!" Charlotte nodded and left.
- What do you want so many people to do?! I think it's a human experiment!
Charlotte stared at Aven and said the true answer in her heart.
