Chapter 30: Laziness
Bertha threw herself into Thor's arms, and the warm breath came from her cheeks, as if it could flow all the way to the girl's heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
How long has it been since I've felt such a warm feeling?, Bertha asked herself.
Since her mother's death, she has faced only the tall, gorgeous, but cold court of the Kingdom of France every day.
No one wanted to come to see her except Sir Morey Trier, whose name had been saved by his mother, not even her father, the "fat fool" who lazily lay on the golden throne every day, to say a word to her at a feast.
Bertha learned to be silent.
She lived carefully in the shadows of the court, and every night in her dreams the terrible queen would break into her boudoir with a dagger in her hand and stab her to death, and Bertha could still feel the chill in her eyes when she thought of it.
However, the caution of the weak does nothing to save life, and there are still people who want to get rid of her, even if she is just a disgraced princess who is not welcomed.
Morey escaped with her, and since then has lived a life of exile, being trafficked to the Wasteland, where being nameless is nothing, the same feeling she felt when she became a thief with a dagger on the streets of Worms.
It's cold.
But the strange thing about life is that when you're in despair, it's often time for hope.
Bertha thought that she would live with a cold mask for the rest of her life, so when facing Kratos, she did not hesitate, and never even thought that she would survive after a blow, she was begging for death.
But that day was the starting point of hope.
From the storm to the dark cave, the revelation of his identity did not seem to surprise Thor, a man who showed no mercy to his enemies, but was usually as amiable as a big brother next door.
At some point, Bertha found that the ice in her heart had been warmed.
"I hope I can ...... here forever," the girl muttered to herself, burying her face in her thick chest.
"What are you talking about?" Thor lowered his head and smiled bitterly as he stroked Bertha's long reddish-brown hair, it looked like he couldn't do his job today.
Bertha raised her head, showed a bright smile and said coquettishly: "Play with us, Brother Sol - let's go to the beach to play!"
Thor sighed and said in a pretended seriousness, "It's not impossible to go to the beach...... But you'll have to help me gather food...... If you agree, I will take you to the beach to grill fish and eat it. ”
Bertha, who was still depressed after listening to the first half of the sentence, suddenly raised her hands and shouted excitedly when she heard the grilled fish: "Yo hoo ~ there is grilled fish to eat~ There is grilled fish to eat~"
As if he could understand human speech, Gray Wind also jumped together and shouted "Oh oh".
Thor stood up and stretched his waist, in fact, he was a little tired of burning tiles and digging soil every day, so he was the leader, so he should take a vacation for himself......
"Do you want to call Diana, Morey, and them......" imagining Morey's disappointed expression, "Lord Nome, it's a critical moment for the project......"
Thinking about Diana's dissatisfied, "Lord Thor, how can you run out to play while everyone is working......
Kratos: "I'm not going. ”
Tula: "There's a lot of tiles to be fired, my lord." ”
Blacktooth: "I want to go to Nome, but there's not enough wood......"
Thor shivered, "Forget it, don't call them." He shook his head involuntarily, grabbed Bertha, who was running around him, and bowed his head and admonished:
"Come with me, Bertha, let's go to the beach quietly, and don't let your Grandpa Morey find out. "Thor is a little aggrieved, he is also Nome anyway, how can he even be careful about giving himself a vacation.
Well, when everyone else is working, it's really not good for a person to be lazy, Thor struggled inwardly, and the road from the cliff corner to the sea seemed to be walking on a tightrope.
Standing in the central square of the design, Morey pondered the distribution of manpower, the progress of the construction, and the material reserves, etc., and the black tooth led everyone to pile the felled logs to the square, and turned his head just to see two people and a wolf who were nodding their feet and acting like thieves.
"Mr. Morey, what is Noem doing?"
Morey didn't raise his head, he had already seen Thor, he didn't know what he was going to do with Bertha, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, "Maybe there's something new to discover." ”
What the old man thought in his heart was: "I'm afraid I didn't sneak out to play......"
Fortunately, he couldn't remember how long it had been since Bertha had smiled, and since she had escaped from the palace, the girl had become more and more gloomy, as if she had never smiled again.
But in the past few days, he has found that Bertha has become more and more lively, and the two of them have become the most comfortable people in the tribe every day, and this new home full of vitality has really become a place of redemption for the two.
"Thank you, Lord Nome," Morey muttered to himself, glad he had chosen to follow the strange leader of the barbarians, for there was probably no second barbarian in the land who could make Bertha smile.
Naturally, Thor didn't know what other people thought, he only knew that he was lying on this soft sand now, and it was really comfortable.
The fine sand is not mixed with a single stone, and it is as soft as a large bed made of water, so that people don't want to get up again when they lie down.
The sun shines gently, and when sprinkled on the body, it can warm up to the bones, like taking a hot bath, but it is much more comfortable than a hot bath.
The waves crashed against the shore, and Bertha's cry rang out from far and near: "There are fish!
"What a fuss...... " Thor closed his eyes leisurely, sometimes there are indeed fish washed ashore by the waves and can't go back, I have to say that the fish in this sea are really stupid.
His arms were shaking violently, one left and one right, and a man and a wolf pushed him hard beside Thor.
"Brother Thor, get up, get up, you see a fish on the beach!" Bertha was anxious, as if she was afraid that they would swim back later.
"Huh...... What's the hurry, let Brother Sol rest for a while, and wait for you to go to the sea to catch a bigger one. Saul, who was enjoying the sun and beach, clearly didn't want to get up now.
"No, there's no bigger one! That one is big! It's going to be a stick!" As soon as she was nervous, Xiao Nizi couldn't speak, and the gray wind next to her was crazy, and when she saw that her master was very excited, she also kept licking Thor's face with her big wet tongue.
"It stinks, it stinks, get out of the way, Grey Wind-" Finally pushing away the big wolf that pounced on him, Thor stood up, and was pulled all the way forward by Bertha, he shook his head helplessly:
"It's really ignorant, there are many big fish in the sea, I said I would catch a bigger one for you...... Uh......"
Turning a corner that was divided by a cliff, Thor was speechless, and then he knew what Bertha meant by the big fish, was it called a big fish, it was clearly a whale!
