Chapter 32: Farewell to the Dragon Slayer

On the other side, as soon as he left the castle, Lawrence ordered the team to leave the official road quickly and take the country road instead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Highness, we must get out of Cecil as soon as possible!" Lawrence was far less calm than he had shown in Cecil Castle, and he advised Sylvia, "Although you and I are not worried about the Count's power, if he does not think of going to a dead end, we will fall into great passivity!"

Sylvia's indifferent voice floated out of the carriage, "Whatever you want." ”

Lawrence bowed his head and left the carriage, and soon he stepped onto his horse and gave a series of orders to evacuate.

The hanging team quickly changed its route and chose a path away from the official road.

Along the way, Lawrence asked the Knights to stay on guard and watch out for every movement. Vivien Leigh followed Lawrence in a gloomy manner, looking as pitiful as a little girl who had done something wrong.

But Lawrence never criticized him, he only led the team vigilantly, occasionally bowing his head and frowning in contemplation.

"Teacher, what's wrong with the princess?"

Lolita and Vivien, two little mages, also felt the heaviness of the atmosphere, the former no longer dared to swing around and sell cuteness, while the latter, after a long struggle, pulled the corners of Charlotte's clothes.

"Nothing. Charlotte was also in a bad mood, and he forced a smile, "Something special happened, your teacher and I have done something stupid again." Anyway, why don't you sit in the carriage with Lolita? Honestly, I don't want you to see me being taught a bad face. ”

Vivien and Lolita looked at Charlotte worriedly for a moment, and then walked back to the carriage. As they passed Claire, their uncle handed them the uneasy Leonard, and the three boys and girls held hands and opened the wooden door to Sylvia's car.

However, until the group left the county of Cecil and arrived at a small town called Loca, Charlotte's expected storm did not arrive.

In order not to cause a riot, Lawrence ordered the knights to keep watch around the town, and then took advantage of the darkness to enter the town in a low-key manner, knocking on the door of an inn that was still open.

But it was clear that even the most low-key innkeeper realized that these people were a group of noble people, and when he nodded and cautiously asked Lawrence what he wanted, Archduke Erosa waved his hand.

"Don't worry, we're just a bunch of regular travelers. He handed the mink jacket to his squire, "Arrange for us a few clean rooms, and serve the best dishes." By the way, there has to be a hot broth, my family is about to freeze. ”

"Yes, sir!" the innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned and walked into the kitchen, personally supervising the cooks in arranging the food and drinks.

The hotels in San Lorenzo are all a mix of taverns and accommodations, and the bustling taverns are instantly quiet when the group enters. They looked at the group of uninvited guests with wary and worried eyes, and they didn't seem to be at ease with Lawrence and his party.

"Let's go upstairs and talk. In just a few moments, the innkeeper had tidied up several spacious rooms with an unprecedented service attitude, and Lawrence bowed slightly to Sylvia, signaling the other party to go first, "Your Highness, please!"

Sylvia was the first to go.

About a quarter of an hour later, the food was served, and the two central characters had a dull dinner together, during which no one tried to liven up the conversation.

Needless to say, the cold Sylvia and the taciturn Claire are on their minds, while Lawrence and Lady Rebecca are on their minds. Dinah served her master wholeheartedly, Vivien Leigh was as cautious as a little girl who had made a mistake, and Charlotte was always a little frightened when she saw Lawrence's silent expression.

Even Lolita, sensing the anomaly of the atmosphere, focused her attention on the not-so-exquisite food, eating mechanically like a robot with Vivien and Leonard.

A meal tastes the same as jue wax. After the meal, Lawrence wiped his mouth and said to Vivienne, "Children, it's time to rest. I wish you all the best dreams!"

Claire stood up playfully and planned to call the three children to leave, but Charlotte had an idea and hurriedly pretended to be a good teacher who cared for her disciples.

"Wait!" But his plan clearly didn't succeed, and Lawrence immediately held him down, "I have something to tell you. ”

Charlotte sat down with a bitter face, and Claire shrugged helplessly and walked out of the room with her three children.

Lawrence glanced at Sylvia, but the other party tasted the black tea as if she hadn't heard it. He coughed lightly, and when he realized that the other party meant to do so, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Charlotte and Vivien Leigh sat upright in their chairs like children who had made mistakes as children, and they didn't dare to look at their father's gloomy face with their heads bowed.

Minutes and seconds passed, and just as Vivien Leigh felt more and more nervous, Lawrence spoke, "Charlotte, remember what I said to you?"

Charlotte felt that he had said too much to himself since he was a child, but at this moment, as a bear child who often made mistakes, he nodded very sensibly.

"You didn't pay attention to it!" Lawrence's voice rose an octave, "I want you to take care of your sister, and you! stupidly take her to the prisoner!"

"It's not Charlotte's fault......" Vivien Leigh tried to defend Charlotte and took the initiative, but was held down by Mrs. Rebecca.

She looked at her mother, only to see Rebecca smile and shake her head.

"I'm sorry......" Charlotte bowed her head, "I did something stupid, I'm sorry, father!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Lawrence took a sip of the inferior ale in his glass in annoyance, "Charlotte, how many times have you said you're sorry since you were a child?

He slammed the cup on the table, and poked his head out against the table with his right hand, "Because I think a mischievous child is far more adaptable to the world than a child who follows the rules, and you remind me of myself when I was a child!

"But Charlotte, you're no longer that little boy, you're no longer the dragon slayer who played a game of Dragon Quest in Fort Savoie......!

"It's time to say goodbye to the former dragon slayer!" Lawrence, with affection on his lion-like face, shook Charlotte's hand.

Charlotte looked up slightly, his lips twitching, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

He thought about it, and just as his muscles tensed and he was about to nod, he heard Vivien Leigh's sad voice.

"Does the so-called brave really not exist?Father!" Fei Wenli had tears in her eyes, "When I was a child, I liked to hear you tell me the stories of knights, they are righteous, great, and dare to challenge the powerful and evil! They slay dragons, they hunt demons, they protect the weak, they defend the truth!"

"They...... Does it really not exist in reality?"

Vivien Leigh's almost pleading question made Lawrence's eyes waver.
