Chapter 15: The County of Cecil

Early the next morning, the audience went around the grove of bones and followed the official road to the county of Cecil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ahead, Salik, who had vented his anger, seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday. He sat on a tall horse, leading the private soldiers who were discussing how much loot they had won, and he was as proud as a victorious general.

"I don't understand!" Fei Wene Leigh snapped her fingers indignantly, "why did our father accept that bastard's invitation!"

"You figured it out, right!" Charlotte spat into the air with a pop of grass stalks, and turned to look at Vivien Leigh, "and now it dawns on me that a civil war might be a good thing." ”

He looked at the surrounding dilapidated farmhouses and barren land, and the serfs with numb expressions, wearing only tattered single clothes and playing barefoot, and said softly.

"At least it's a good thing for the people of Counts' County of Peters. Charlotte looked back, "And seeing the look of that grandson, I don't expect much from the county of Cecil." ”

"You mean...... Father is going to investigate the situation in the county of Cecil himself?" asked Vivien Leigh in a slightly trembling voice.

Charlotte spread her hands, "I didn't say anything!"

He tugged at the reins and slowed down the horse under his crotch, "I can see it now, no wonder people say that San Lorenzo is dying." The air here makes me feel sick, so I don't get into any unnecessary trouble in the heat of the moment......"

He rolled over and dismounted, and got into the lavish carriage carved with the Icewind Castle crest.

Self-deprecating words came out of the crack in the door, "I'm still obediently a good otaku!"

Vivien Leigh tightened the reins of the nightmare.

"Charlotte, you're reminding me...... Out of sight and out of mind?"

"Teacher!"

As soon as Charlotte got into the carriage, Lolita's energetic voice was heard.

Vivien, on the other hand, bowed timidly to Charlotte and nodded.

Charlotte smiled and patted Lolita's head, "Oh, what made our energetic girls stop splashing endlessly and obediently sit in the carriage to study?"

"Hmph, because the air here smells of decay!" Lolita shook her fist in displeasure.

Hearing this plausible answer, Charlotte gave a thumbs up approvingly.

It looked like it was only five meters long and three meters wide, but the interior was surprisingly spacious, presumably because Sylvia had cast a space spell on it.

On the innermost side of the carriage, Sylvia sat in a comfortable soft chair, her slender fingers pinching the teacup, the steaming white mist making her as charming as a fairy. She held a thick book in her hand and looked intently at its contents.

Dinah stood behind Sylvia in a black and white maid outfit with a tray in her hand.

When she heard Charlotte's words, Dinah smiled sarcastically, "Where did you get the confidence to teach Lolita a lesson? You fraudster who takes pleasure in running away from home! I don't bother to step on the abominable wolfdog even if I'm lying on the ground!"

"After all, you don't want to make personal attacks!" Charlotte sat down in the soft chair dissatisfied, "As the second seat of Icewind Castle, your belly is inevitably too small! It was half a year ago, and you are still haunted?"

Dema's eyes widened, waiting to be retorted.

However, Sylvia, who was holding a book, suddenly interjected, "Quiet. ”

Everyone shut up immediately.

Sylvia looked at Charlotte, "How? ”

Charlotte thought for a moment and replied, "It's terrible! The people here are like the walking dead! Unlike the thriving Icewind Castle, I don't see any life in this empire." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're happy or not. Anyway, in the end, everyone will die. Sylvia put down the tea and replied in a tone that didn't contain a hint of emotion, "I'm not asking about your feelings. Rather, through this empire, do you see the future?"

Charlotte was dumbfounded, stammering.

After a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile, "What you said is quite reasonable, I can't refute it!"

"As for the future......" He opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the crows hovering over the dead trees pecking at a highly decomposed hanged man, and a ragged boy looking at the corpse from afar with a sad expression of longing and fear in his eyes.

That's probably the corpse's child.

"I saw the flames of war burning on the land. He jerked at Sylvia, "Sister planning to go to war?"

"I'm not interested in being involved in mortal warfare. Sylvia picked up her tea, the steaming mist making Charlotte unable to see her expression, "But I'm only afraid that I won't be able to help myself." ”

Dinah bowed her head in agro, and Lolita and Vivien looked at Sylvia as if they didn't understand.

And Charlotte, with an ugly expression, said with a haha, "No kidding, Sister Sylvia! If you don't want to, who can force you to go to war?"

Sylvia's blue eyes like a lake of ice looked at Charlotte for a moment, and just when the latter was about to lose the atmosphere, she said faintly, "The human heart is ......"

"W-what?" Charlotte was about to ask, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the carriage.

He heard Vivien Leigh's angry rebuke, so he opened the car door without saying a word.

"Charlotte, watch out. Winter is coming......" Behind her, Charlotte didn't hear Sylvia's faint sigh.

Charlotte pushed the car door open and looked ahead, only to see Vivien Leigh glaring angrily at Salik, Claire standing beside her, her right fingertips dancing quietly and quickly.

Salik, on the other hand, had a mocking smile, and the noble private soldiers behind him looked nervous.

They were surrounded by a handful of frightened-looking serfs, and the two sides looked tense!

Charlotte cursed and trotted to the point of the incident.

"What's going on?" Charlotte patted Claire's leg on the nightmare, who grimaced and pointed ahead.

Charlotte looked in the direction of his finger and saw a woman on a muddy country road with wide eyes and a look of fear at both sides on a tall horse. In her arms, a little girl of about six years old was crying.

Salik's two privates tried to pull them away, but were hesitant by Vivien Leigh's anger.

"Your Highness the Princess. Salik stroked his beard, "I can't figure out why you're so unkind to me, you know, I'm asserting your authority!"

Vivien Leigh grimaced, "Thank you for your kindness, Baron Salik, but I don't think I need it!"

"Hah! that's funny, is that how you Northerners treat your friends?" Salik laughed angrily, "They, these two ignorant untouchables, pigs, almost ran into your horses, and they deserved to be hanged on a dead tree for such a big mistake?"

"She's just a child! she's not having a heart!" Vivien Leigh's voice was eight tones higher, "and, I think the fault is on my side, it was my nightmare that scared her, and this road belongs to the villagers!"

"You're wrong!" Salik said in a deep voice, "this is the county of Cecil, the villages, the roads, the forests, the game, including these pariahs!

Charlotte finally understood what was happening.
