Chapter 25: Convergence and Quarrel
"I'm sorry to have you seen such a cruel scene, my princess!" Zenas wiped his hands from the guard's clothes, wiping the foam from the corners of his mouth before he died, "but we can't afford to be small. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I know! I'm not a noble lady who knows how to be a woman. Vivien Leigh held out her hand to him, "Do I need to give you a hand?"
"I'm not weak enough to do that, and I don't want to get your hands dirty. Princess!" Wearing only his trouser pockets, Zenas showed off his perfect abs, which were unkempt and covered with whip marks, but which gave him a wild charm unlike anything he had ever been.
He bent his knees slightly, leaping forward, and his hands easily climbed up to the mouth of the water prison. He saw a pair of aristocratic riding boots in front of him, looked up in surprise, and suddenly saw a young man in a noble winter hunting suit pouting at him.
"You know what, man, I really want to kick you off here!"
Zenas was shocked, he put his hands on the ground and instantly flipped back, squatting on the ground like a cheetah, vigilantly looking at the aristocratic man in front of him.
It was only then that he realized that the man was followed by a few acquaintances.
"Zenas, you're alright!" said Nick, with a bearded face, an excited look in his eyes.
"Nick?!, why are you here?" he asked, surprised.
"It's a long story, knowing that you were arrested, my companions and I went to great lengths to rescue you, and we even got in touch with the Lighthouse. Nick shrugged, "But I'm sorry, I'm overestimating my strength." Count Cecil's doglegs seem to be far more difficult than you think!"
"What? you contacted the lighthouse?" Zenas looked dissatisfied.
"I can't think of rescuing you!" replied Nick helplessly, "Zenas, I owe you my life, it was you who made me from a mercenary who licked blood from a knife to a man who knew how to be polite and shameful. Not to mention the lighthouse, even if it's a deal with a demon, I won't watch you go to the guillotine!"
Zenas shook his head and sighed as he patted Nick on the shoulder.
"So, this man who looks like a great nobleman is a member of the lighthouse?" he looked at Charlotte curiously, "Has the lighthouse infiltrated the upper echelons of the San Lorenzo Empire?"
"Natsu, Charlotte!?"
Before Charlotte could be sarcastic, she saw Vivien Leigh leap out of the water prison. He took a deep breath and looked at his little sister covered in sewage and looking at him with a cute expression.
"You don't sleep in the early hours of the morning just to dress like this and swim in the water prison?" Charlotte was full of resentment and had nowhere to go, "Do you know what you're doing?
"You want me to listen to my heart's voice!" Fei Wenli snorted aggrievedly, "I knew you wouldn't support me, so I planned to act quietly......"
"Quietly?!Please, Miss, now that the whole world knows that someone has kidnapped a prisoner, you still say quietly?"
"It was just an accident, and if it weren't for the gang of men in black, I wouldn't have alarmed anyone!" replied Vivien Leigh.
"Wait! What man in black?" Nick looked at Vivien Leigh suspiciously.
"A bunch of stalkers who came at me without saying a word, if they hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have alarmed the castle guards!"
As soon as Vivien Leigh finished speaking, she saw Nick grab her hair in disbelief.
"Oh my God! They're lighthouses! What about them?"
Charlotte touched her nose with a fluttering look, "It's probably turned into a barbecue, well!"
"You killed them!?" Nick looked at Charlotte frantically.
"Who told them to shoot at me? Do I have to be like a target and let them get a few holes in me?" Charlotte retorted with an unhappy glare, "Hey, bearded! I'm not one of you, I'm here to find my sister, I can't be responsible for you! And I saved you, you should have a minimum of respect for your benefactor!"
Before Nick could say more, he was stopped by Zenas, "It's His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, please forgive me for not recognizing you at first!
He took the half-sword from his partner, moved his wrist, and pointed above the tunnel.
From there, there was a cacophony of footsteps.
Charlotte immediately cast a confusing spell on Vivien Leigh, and he said in a deep voice, "We have to find a way to escape from here, my sister and I will not be recognized!"
He frowned at Nick, who was stunned by Charlotte and Vivien Leigh's status.
"Of course! I swear Nick and his men won't reveal your identities!" Zenas stood at the entrance of the tunnel, "Now we have to put aside dissent and fight the enemy together!"
The footsteps in the dark passage were getting closer and closer, and several people stopped talking and looked up vigilantly.
In the dark passage of the dungeon, three men dressed in black rushed to the water dungeon in embarrassment. Their ragged clothes and masks were long gone, and their blackened faces smelled of boredom.
The three of them were immediately taken aback when they saw Zenas in a defensive posture. Looking at Charlotte and Vivien Leigh in the formation again, the expressions on their faces were suddenly wonderful!
"Ahh
"Who do you say is a stinky!"
"Who are you, uncle!"
Vivien Leigh and Charlotte scolded in unison.
"Be respectful to my sister, you assassin with a normal face!" Charlotte couldn't stop as if she had opened some unknown mechanism, "You look like a boring shrew who is almost middle age!"
"Who do you say is a shrew?!You treacherous arsonist! Do you know what it's like to have to escape from the fire and have to face that unlocked iron fence and have to get rid of hundreds of pursuers behind you?"
Charlotte was furious, and he sneered, "Very good! You guy with a broken mouth than me, I have to make you into a dry corpse and scold your shriveled head a thousand times every day!"
Charlotte and Vivien Leigh took an offensive stance, and the three stalkers on the other side also held short knives, vigilantly confronting the siblings.
"Wait!wait!" Nick's bearded face was full of lovelessness, "You're a lighthouse, aren't you? And you're friends with Zenas, aren't you? aren't we in a gang? Are you crazy? We're followed by at least a hundred pursuers, why are we wasting time here endlessly!"
"Shut up!" the Clayderman siblings scolded in unison with Judson of the Lighthouse.
Judson added, "Who do you think is responsible?"
Nick pointed at himself in disbelief, "Is it because of me?"
"If you had told us you had hired someone else, we wouldn't have been killed like this by these two bastards!" Judson yelled angrily.
"Who did the killing!!" Fei Wene retorted indignantly!
"W-Can I be blamed for this?!" Nick stomped his feet in anger as he looked at Zenas, "Zenas, if you had told me you had these noble friends, I would have ...... too"
Zenas reluctantly interrupted him, "Guys, guys, I'm grateful for what you've done for me, but I think it's imperative to find another exit, or we'll have to face the entire castle's military power!"
Charlotte shrugged, "I can't agree anymore!"
The leader of the Lighthouse Stalkers said, "Agreed! I know that there is a secret passage in the dungeon that leads to the outside of the castle, the one set up by the former Earl of Cecil for his intimate interests. ”
"What? Someone would set up a secret passage in the dungeon? Is he still worried that the prisoner will not be able to escape?" Charlotte looked incredulous.
"And that's not because of the ugly hobbies of you nobles!" a mocking expression appeared on Judson's ordinary face.
"Hey!"
Before Charlotte could go berserk, the lighthouse leader scolded Judson.
The man with the same ordinary face shook his head at the group, "Follow me!"
