Here's how it happened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The depressed Vivien Leigh rode her horse on a country road, and the ignorant little girl suddenly rushed out of the field, which startled Vivien Leigh.
Because of this fault, Baron Salik decided to hang the little girl. Well, with her poor mother.
The woman looked at Vivien Leigh with pleading eyes. It was obviously winter, but she was only wearing a tattered cloth shirt on her body, her frozen purple arm skin was exposed, and she kept kowtowing to Fei Wenli while holding the little girl who was still neatly dressed.
She probably understood that Vivien Leigh was the only hope for their mother and daughter.
Salik looked at the speechless Vivien Leigh and asked with a sneer, "Your Highness the Princess, or is it that in Erossa, all the land belongs to these pariahs?"
Vivien Leigh gritted her teeth angrily, "But they are unintentional!"
"Heartless!heartless!" Salik pointed to the mother and daughter, "Can you run into the nobles without heart? Let me tell you, Your Highness!
"I said I don't need your maintenance!That's your rule of nobility!Not mine!" Vivien Leigh didn't back down, "The true noble man should be humble, tolerant, faithful, and reliable!
"So!" Fei Wenli said firmly, "This is the biggest difference between me and you! This difference comes from the concept of you and me, not the rank and blood of high or low!"
The negotiations reached an impasse. Salik was furious, he felt that the people of the North really couldn't communicate, one by one, like a barrel of dynamite that had eaten black powder, no matter what he did, it would explode at a moment!
Charlotte stepped forward, patted Vivien Leigh on the shoulder, and said to Salik with disgust, "How much?"
Salik was stunned, he looked at Charlotte with a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice, "What?"
Charlotte said the key, and he reached out and pulled it into the void. There seemed to be ripples in the air, and his hand passed through the void, and when he pulled it back, he had two more sets of cotton clothes and a bulging bag in his hand.
He draped the cotton garment over the mother and daughter, and threw the bag at Salik under the woman's incredulous gaze.
"You just said that the mother and daughter are the Earl's private property!" Charlotte shrugged, "So, let's do things in a rare aristocratic way." A hundred universal gold coins, I think it's more than enough as their ransom money!"
Charlotte looked at Salik's bald goose egg head and asked in a deep voice, "Why?
There is indeed this law in the empire, and if a nobleman is willing to guarantee and pay ransom money, he can indeed pardon sins other than assassination of nobles, rebellion and other serious crimes.
Fei Wen Liru took a dose of heart booster, and a happy smile bloomed on her beautiful face, "If it's not enough, I still have it in the carriage!"
Salik sneered, and stomped the woman with the sole of his shoe, and scolded in a deep voice, "Get out of here, two pigs! Remember, don't do it to me next time!"
He tossed his purse and bowed slightly to Charlotte, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness, Grand Duke! ”
"Don't bother, Baron. Charlotte spread her hands, "Everyone in the north knows that Charlotte has a big tree on her back, and she is stupid and has a lot of money!"
A storm cleared invisibly, and Salik led the way with his private men. He tossed his money bag and said loudly to the left and right in an undisguised voice.
"The people of the north are really incomprehensible! I thought that the famous silver dragon princess would be any different! Now it seems that there is no difference between it and those eldest ladies who have been raised in the boudoir and have never seen the world!
"The world's No. 1 knight hime!"
His undisguised sarcasm completely infuriated Vivien Leigh!
Princess Silver Dragon pulled the holy sword out of its scabbard with a bang, and made up her mind to let him see what the real world's number one knight Ji was!
However, a large hand clenched her wrist firmly, and the angry Vivien Leigh tilted her head, seeing Archduke Lawrence frowning and shaking her head at her.
"Calm down, Vivien Leigh!" Lawrence's voice was deep and powerful, "Don't let anger dominate you, the Holy Sword shouldn't be bloody!"
Qiang - the holy sword is unsheathed!
Fei Wenli bit her lower lip, her full chest rising and falling, "I didn't plan to let the Holy Sword get bloody, I just wanted to teach them a lesson!"
"I know. Lawrence shook his head, "But this is not the North, you have to be responsible for your words and actions! Don't let them grab the handle, or I'll have a hard time protecting you." ”
Vivien Leigh saw concern and worry in Lawrence's eyes, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When I opened it again, there was no anger in the blue lake, and there was calm again.
"I understand this is not the North!" she turned her horse's head, "after all, there are no men in the North like that!"
She dismounts in front of the Clayderman family's carriage, then hugs Rebecca, who is watching her with concern, and slips into the carriage.
There were only a dozen or so riders left, and Lawrence looked at Charlotte and sighed.
"Take an eye on your sister, Charlotte. Don't let her do anything stupid!" he slapped his forehead, and now Claire probably knew where Charlotte's penchant for forehead patting came from, "Forget it! I shouldn't be stupid enough to give you this task!"
He looked at Claire, who had a flat expression, "Can I trust you?" Help me keep an eye on your princess. ”
Claire could no longer keep that poker face, and he replied loudly, his voice trembling, "My honor!
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead. Lawrence and the three looked at the sound, only to see a guard of honor with a clear flag marching high.
The first nobleman was short and stocky, and his round face and eyes were slit, and he looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
Charlotte, confused, saw the ball of meat approaching Lawrence and dismounted, kicking Baron Salik and knocking him to the ground.
"Grand Duke, Grand Duke!" he spread his stubby hands, as warm as a long-lost friend, "Oh, my great good neighbor, the uncrowned king of the North, I have been waiting for your arrival, but I don't want to ......."
He slapped Salik on the head and said, "Let this fool spoil a good thing! Salik is a good man at war, but when it comes to hospitality, he is a stupid fat pig!"
Charlotte pouted, I really don't know where he got the confidence to say that other people are fat pigs.
Now, he knew who this Maitreya Buddha really was. He is the lord of the county of Cecil, Count Grote Cecil!
"I apologize for my subordinate's offense!I hope he didn't hurt your good mood!" He bowed deeply to Lawrence and patted Charlotte on the shoulder enthusiastically, "And you!Future Kings of the North, I apologize for hearing that my stupid vassals have offended you!
"Where, I also have faux pas. The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling man, Charlotte accepted his apology with a smile.
"Aha! and you!" Grout nodded with a smile, his fat body turned to look at Claire, "Claire Knight, one of the twin stars of Icewind Castle! If that day does, don't forget your friends!"
He bowed slightly to the three of them, "Grote Cecil!"
Grote is like a cheerful bird, speaking the unique style of the imperial court tone, and just a few words make people feel good.
However, at this moment, in Lawrence's eyes, there is a deep jealousy.
