Chapter 29: Father's Suicide Note (4)
Barracks of the Duke of Gallo in Venice, in Robert's barracks.
It was vacation time, and Robert was bored, so he was looking for a book in his room, and lay on the bed and flipped through it. Since finding a servant like Luca, Robert has been in a good mood, and with his fighting skills, it is very helpful for himself.
Before, Robert still wanted to return to the village with Nangong Yu, but then he thought about it, after all, he was a knight, and Nangong Yu was just an ordinary civilian soldier. A knight accompanies a civilian home, with an unequal status.
Bang, bang, bang, and then, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Robert frowned, who would come at this time?
"Come in. Robert said impatiently.
When he saw the person who had come in, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, it was none other than Baron Lucius's son, Phoebe.
Phoebe said, "It's pretty quiet, Robert." ”
Although Robert was puzzled, he still put on a respectful look, stood up, and said slowly, "What is the matter with Mr. Phoebe?"
Phoebe said lightly: "I'm here for someone." ”
Robert said, "Who?"
Phoebe looked directly at Robert and said, "Your servant, Luca Rossi." ”
Robert was taken aback and said, "What's wrong with him?"
Phoebe said, "No, I remember you recruited him into the barracks, right?"
Robert nodded and said, "Yes, his fighting skills are very good, so I recruited him into the barracks and became my servant." ”
Phoebe said: "Knight Robert, I doubt your vision, such a person you actually recruited him to the duke's barracks. ”
Robert said, "What do you mean?"
Phoebe said, "Don't you know that he colluded with pirates and almost killed the honorable Miss Anna." ”
Robert was taken aback, with an incredible look on his face, and after a while, he suddenly realized, and he said, "Phoebe, this way, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Phoebe said coldly: "It's not your turn to do what I'm going to do, you have to remember that you are just a knight, unless, you yearn for the life of a commoner." ”
Robert clenched his fists, but finally sighed and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Phoebe said: "Let him leave the barracks, and announce to the public that he colluded with pirates and framed the nobles." ”
Robert said, "But I don't have proof. ”
Phoebe said: "Don't worry about this, you just do it, and I'll do the rest." ”
After saying that, Phoebe ignored Robert and turned to leave.
Bang, the door closed, and Phoebe's footsteps faded away. Looking at the door, Robert stood there for a long time without moving.
After a long time, Robert slowly lowered his head, thinking to himself, Luca, Luka, it seems that you really messed with someone you shouldn't mess with.
......
The salty sea breeze slowly blew Nangong Yu, he quietly looked at the blue sea, and his black eyes seemed to turn a little red under the rays of the setting sun.
Looking at Nangong Yu, Anna wanted to say something, but he suddenly noticed that the black-haired boy in front of him seemed to have changed a little. It seems like something more than just now.
When her black eyes glowed red and pierced the sea, Anna finally realized that there was something more in front of her, and that was determination.
A little fascinated by the determined look in Nangong Yu's eyes, a blush appeared on Anna's pretty cheeks, she smiled lightly, and said, "Looking at Luca's current appearance, it seems that she no longer needs me to comfort her." ”
Nangong Yu had already softened some of the grief and indignation in his heart, and said, "People always have to look forward, don't they?"
Anna said, "Those pirates will definitely be eliminated." ”
Nangong Yu barely squeezed out a smile, straightened his clothes casually, turned around, and came to Anna's side.
Getting closer, looking at the lovely girl in front of him, his eyes swept over her equally firm face, Nangong Yu was in a trance in his heart.
In the previous life, I had no relatives and no friends, but in this life, although my loved ones have left, I still have friends and hope.
Smiling gently, Nangong Yu's eyes were warm, and his palm unceremoniously touched her head in Anna's surprised gaze, and said, "Thank you, Anna." I'll let the pirates know that if they offend me, they'll make them pay. ”
Shocked by Nangong Yu's intimate behavior for a long time, her bright eyes stared at those mysterious dark eyes, Anna smiled lightly, and let Nangong Yu's big hand mess up her hair.
Many times, he likes to stand in front of him, as if he can shield himself from all dangers. From the first time I saw him in the barracks, I was attracted by his mysterious aura, and although it was requested by the same black-haired guards, it did not prevent me from keeping an eye on him at all times. It's just that whether he sends him a precious ruby, or pulls him out to sea at any time, he will be gloomy by his lukewarm attitude.
"He seems to have opened his heart, but he still only treats me as the duke's daughter, what a wood, but I can't blame him, his father is gone, and I can't be happy if it were me. She pouted slightly, and then Anna felt a little greedy again.
"Anna, I'm sorry today, I'm a little confused myself, but it's okay, I have you by my side, just to hang you out, I'm a little bit sorry. Nangong Yu scratched his head a little embarrassed and said apologetically.
Anna smiled sweetly, although she didn't care very much, but being left out for a day was really uncomfortable, in Nangong Yu's jerky apology, some of Anna's small grievances suddenly disappeared.
Standing on the seashore, Nangong Yu faced the sunset, looking at the sea with dark eyes, Nangong Yu had already thought about it, if he wanted to avenge his father and exterminate the pirates, it was absolutely not enough to rely on his own strength, if he relied on the military camp, he didn't know what year and month he could really exterminate the pirates, and Nangong Yu didn't like to be under others.
Seeing Nangong Yu's serious appearance for the first time, Anna suddenly opened her eyes, and she said softly, "Luca, what are you thinking?"
Nangong Yu said: "I want to build my own fleet. ”
Anna was a little surprised, and she asked cautiously, "You... What's the plan?"
Nangong Yu looked at Anna and said, "Of course it's to exterminate the pirates, do you think I'm going to threaten your father?"
Anna blushed and said, "No, that's not what I meant. ”
Nangong Yu suddenly laughed dryly and said, "That, Anna, do you know any way to quickly obtain a large amount of gold coins?"
Anna was stunned and said, "You want to buy something?"
Nangong Yu said: "No, if I want to build a fleet, then I need gold coins, but I ...... it now."
In this world, in addition to his father, only Marco and Anna have the best relationship, and now that his father is gone, Marco is almost the same as himself, and Anna is a nobleman, and she should be more aware of making money, so she can only ask Anna with a cheeky face.
Anna smiled and said, "How much do you need?" ”
Nangong Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Anna, I don't have the habit of reaching out to girls to ask for money. ”
