Volume 1 Chapter 75 (3)
Things are a bit hot, and it is obviously impossible to kill Cletti in the Lord's Palace, otherwise the situation will go directly in a direction that he cannot predict, Thor thought to himself.
As if sensing Thor's concerns, Cletti continued to shake her calf.
"I think we should have a good talk. ”
"But you've taken my grip and threatened me, and the balance of the conversation has been upset, so we can't talk properly. Thor tentatively.
"You're a boy after all, don't be so stingy. Although I know your secrets, I promise that I am a trustworthy person, whether it is to keep your secrets or ...... Be your assistant. Chletty winked playfully at Thor.
Looking at her stunning appearance, as well as her dazzling waist-length long blond hair flying in the breeze, Thor suddenly spoke subconsciously.
"You're an elf?"
Cletti raised her hand to pin the hair from the side of her face behind her ear, revealing her ears that were indistinguishable from those of humans.
"You can't tell if you can't imagine this, I obviously don't have pointed ears. However, my mother was indeed an elf, and for some unknown reason she fell into the hands of Savyne. Then I was born in this territory, and my mother died shortly after I was born. ”
"Aren't the elves said to have a long lifespan?"
That refers to the category of natural growth, and if you have been severely traumatized or seriously ill, you are actually no different from humans. So, I'm half elven, and to put it mildly, I'm half-elf or half-blood, but I'm just a mongrel. ”
Listening to her low tone, Thor opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know how to pick up the words, so he could only look away.
Since you can't hide from it, let's cut to the chase.
"Tell me what you need me to do for you, then?"
"As I mentioned earlier, I want you to set me free. ”
"Freedom, that's the most expensive thing in the world. Thor said, staring at the lights ahead.
"No, the most expensive thing in the world is peace of mind, and of course if you don't live freely, you can't be at peace. ”
Thor tilted his head and raised his chin.
"To be specific, what kind of freedom law?"
"One night when I was thirteen years old, my father, the Lord of Savion, as you call it, climbed into my bed, and I chased him away with a few fireballs. ”
The biological father climbed into his daughter's bed...... The corners of Thor's eyes twitched, although he had already seen the filthy life of the nobles from many books, but he was still a little uncomfortable when he heard it with his own ears.
"Wait, you say fireballs, you're a magician?" Thor reacted suddenly.
"No, I don't have much fighting ability, I only inherited my mother's appearance and a small amount of magical power. Since I was ten years old, I have been studying with the Grand Appraiser, Mr. Denver, and have had the privilege of learning several low-level mantras. ”
"You said you drove away your third-order swordsman's father with a few low-level fireballs?" Thor was a little incredulous.
"Not to be exact, it's not to drive away, the fireball has a limited lethality, but there is a lot of movement. ”
The night woke up many people, and his wife and children came to watch, as his sons seemed to be fighting for the succession of the lord. I don't know if it was out of the lord's decency, or if something else aroused his scruples, so he let me go for the time being. ”
"Am I pitiful that I have to guard against him and face the foul language of my stepmothers all day long?" Chletty stared at Thor with a sad gaze.
Thor squeezed out a wry smile and shrugged helplessly.
"But even if you tell me this, it's useless, my current strength can at best drive away a few wild dogs, and I still have to mingle with Bertha's escort to get to Newtown. And as you must know, I was told by a hot-blooded young man at the banquet just now that I couldn't even lift my head. ”
That sly smile appeared on Chletty's face again.
"Don't talk about yourself so badly, in fact, I know you better than you think, a little frustration is nothing. You have the waves rolling in your chest, so how can you care about the flow of a few small rivers? ”
"In the past, you may have had a difficult life, and there were always many things you couldn't do when you were young. ”
"But my cook has heard from your friend Shogues that not long ago you defeated Loton, the son of the blacksmith, in a duel, and that you have become good friends and have ventured into the wilderness together. It is said that you have also started raising a small animal called the Skull Rat, which is moving towards the first order. ”
Lady Cook?I heard that Thor turned dark, that fool of Shogues, he really has no wisdom in front of the opposite sex.
Chryti gently reached out and cupped Thor's face.
"I'm glad you have new friends and a team of your own, so I want you to take me out of this territory. ”
"It's not that there are no strong people in the lord's mansion, but I will never trust them. But you're different, after all, we're the same age, and we still have a little unsuspecting relationship with each other. ”
Thor's eyes widened, two little unsuspecting feelings?You may have some misunderstanding of this word, right?
Just a few times have you sneaked a peek at me with the mood to watch the trouble?
That's really ...... It's too much of a guess.
After a moment, Cletti put away her joke.
"Lately, Savine seems to have found a new way to deal with me, and he has put my marital problems on the family table. I don't know what he wanted to exchange it for, but it's not hard to foresee that my sad life was about to begin. ”
"For ordinary people, marriage may be just marriage, but the role of marriage is not only to solve desires and reproduce, but also to make families and clans, races and races, and countries more closely connected. ”
"When will it be a foregone conclusion?" asked Thor.
Chryty shook her head.
"You know, I'm weak and I don't have much power to resist in my family. The marriageable age in the territory is the youngest fourteen and the oldest eighteen, I just passed the coming-of-age ceremony not long ago, and now the age is just stepping on the line,"
"But at present, there are already some rumors in the family, and if you are optimistic, there may be two more years, and it will never exceed two years at the latest, and time is really running out. ”
"So, will you help me take me away?" Chletty's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and there was some pleading.
Thor and she looked at each other for a moment, then turned away from Chryti's gaze.
"Think about it. Thor finally spoke.
"Well, you have to walk through the wilderness every time you come to Newtown, you have to be careful. I'll have the maid drop a rope at the edge of the wall, and you can find it by counting between the sixteenth and seventeenth trees to the right hand of the main entrance of the Lord's Palace. ”
"There are no lights in that area, so it should be safe. Once you're in, you'll have to dodge the patrolling guards and follow the path all the way through the low wall at the end to get to where we're now. ”
"Every month on the second and fourth week of the starfall day, I will sit here and wait for you. ”
Perhaps a little tired of speaking, Cletti leaned her head on Thor's shoulder, her eyes were a little red, and she whispered in a gloomy tone:
"In fact, running away from marriage is just one of the reasons, I want to run away from a lot, from this family, from my current life, from this life that I can't help myself. ”
"I ...... Actually, I was lonely, and there was no one around to talk to me. I miss my mother so much, and if it weren't for that nostalgia, I don't know if I would have survived to this day, and I live in despair every day......"
Thor stared at the light in front of him and said indifferently:
"Despair? No, not yet. ”
"In my opinion, there is only the kind of small happiness that belongs to oneself that has been painstakingly created by one's life, but the next moment it instantly falls apart in front of you, leaving only you who are betrayed and separated, alone, and have nothing. ”
"What's even more sad is that the next thing you find is that time no longer favors you, leaving only a decaying body that is dying of old age. ”
"No more starting over, no more possibilities. ”
"That's the real despair. ”
In silence, Thor suddenly realized that these heavy things seemed to have no comforting effect and would have the opposite effect, and he could only speak again.
"I was a real orphan, I had my name picked up from a tombstone, and I never asked if my parents were still alive and who they were. ”
"You may not believe it, but I don't have much envy for those harmonious families. In fact, I consider myself lucky compared to the families who kicked their sons out of the house and sold their daughters as prostitutes. ”
"I'm not very good at comforting, so I thought maybe you'd be better off if I told you about me being worse. ”
Cletti felt that there seemed to be a deep sadness hidden behind Thor's calm tone, which made her feel a little distressed inexplicably.
This distress may have nothing to do with feelings, but only because I heard a sad thing at first glance.
Cletti sat up, pulled at the sleeve of Thor's coat and rubbed her face against it, and her big beautiful eyes flashed.
"But I've never bothered to find a balance in other people. ”
"Well, I grudgingly believe you. Thor smiled slightly.
Interrupted by Saul, Clette felt her original grief suddenly run away, and she yawned a little lazily.
"Hmm~ It's really time to sleep, sleep is a woman's second life, I will try to sleep, beautiful for you. ”
The corners of Thor's mouth twitched twice, and he quickly advised:
"No need, you're already beautiful and make people tremble, and I think I'll be even more pleased if you can live vigorously in the future. ”
"You dream, I will always be beautiful, and I will not give you a reason to abandon me. ”
