The sudden arrival of the Earl of Windsor made no one notice the change in Sophie's expression, and Sophie then buried her head in Louise's arms, unwilling to raise her head no matter how much Louise persuaded her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Louise had to smile apologetically at the Earl of Windsor, and the Earl of Windsor said in frustration: "It seems that I have scared this child, so I will have someone call you after dinner, and you should take good care of this child first." ”

Seeing the depressed back of the Earl of Windsor, Louise felt a little unbearable, and wanted to talk about Sophie well, but when she saw her big eyes that were about to cry, she could only sigh when she softened.

After the Earl of Windsor left, Ye Chen picked up Sophie and asked gently, "Little Sophie, why did you jump off the city wall?" ”

Speaking of the city wall, Sophie's little face was full of fear, and he grabbed Ye Chen's clothes tightly and said, "Someone is chasing Sophie, Sophie is so scared." ”

"Does little Sophie remember what kind of person she was?"

Sophie shook her head, and Ye Chen continued to ask, "What about Little Sophie's parents and clansmen?" Didn't they help little Sophie? ”

Sophie tilted her little head and thought about it, the expression on her face changed from fear to pain, and the whole person shrank together completely, "Sophie can't remember where they are, and Sophie's head hurts when she thinks about it, Sophie is so uncomfortable." ”

Louise snatched Sophie from Ye Chen's arms, glared at Ye Chen and hurriedly comforted Sophie, while Ye Chen stared at Sophie's face and fell into deep thought.

"Amnesia? Or should it be said that the stimulation is too great and selective amnesia, according to the child's painful face, it should be a great stimulus, it seems that little Sophie has a story. ”

In the evening, everyone came to the restaurant under the leadership of the maid, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the Earl of Windsor smiling and beckoning to everyone, and Sophie, who had been smiling all the way, quickly shrank behind Louise and poked her head out slightly to observe the Earl of Windsor.

Seeing this scene, the Earl of Windsor put down his hand in frustration and ordered the maid to serve the food, Sophie treated the Earl of Windsor like this twice in a row, which made Ye Chen suspicious, and his eyes wandered over the Earl of Windsor and Sophie during the meal, but in addition to seeing the Earl of Windsor dare not speak, he also found that Sophie had never dared to look directly at the Earl of Windsor.

Back in the room where everyone was resting, Ye Chen whispered to Louise, "Don't you think little Sophie is too scared of the Earl of Windsor?" It's not like it's a simple fear of life. ”

Louise glanced at Sophie, who was playing with Hulym, and said angrily, "Are you suspicious of Uncle Windsor?" Little Sophie looks like she's just scared of life, you really think too much! ”

Ye Chen ignored Louise in anger and kept looking at Sophie, "Really?" Judging from the performance of the Earl of Windsor, it seems that little Sophie is afraid of life, perhaps what little Sophie has experienced is related to a certain nobleman. But why do I always feel like that's not the case? ”

"Hey, don't you ignore me, okay? I warn you, if you dare to doubt Uncle Windsor, I'll make you look good, do you hear? Louise crossed her waist and stretched out her hand to grab Ye Chen's ear and twist it hard.

Ye Chen immediately bared his teeth in pain and hurriedly begged Louise for mercy: "Ah, it hurts, it hurts!" I see, Princess, let go! ”

"Hmph, that's right, remember!"

Ye Chen pursed his lips disdainfully, remembering that there are ghosts, there must be something wrong here.

As the night deepened, everyone felt the arrival of sleepiness, and after playing with Sophie for a while, they fell asleep one by one.

In the middle of the night, the sleeping little Sophie seemed to dream of something bad, her little face was full of fear, and her body was trembling incessantly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, "Don't come here!" Mom and Dad! ”

Hearing Sophie's scream, everyone in their sleep woke up instantly, and Louise was the first to hold the frightened Sophie in her arms and whispered comfortingly: "Little Sophie, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

Sophie clutched Louise's clothes with tears in her eyes and whispered: "Sister Louise, Sophie saw a lot of people, and there was a lot of blood, Sophie was so scared!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, if little Sophie is scared, sleep with her sister." Louise patted Sophie on the back and whispered comfort

"Hmm"

Finally put Sophie to sleep again, and everyone fell asleep again, but Ye Chen couldn't sleep anymore, he stared at Sophie in his sleep, and secretly felt in his heart that what happened to Sophie must not be simple, maybe it was the key to solving the problem of the northern province.

Early the next morning, when everyone was sitting in the hall after breakfast and discussing how to investigate the question of the Northern Province, a maid walked into the hall and said, "Lord Earl, there are two people at the door who have asked for a visit, they say that they are the adoptive parents of the Cat People girl, do you want to let them in?" ”

The Earl of Windsor nodded and motioned for the maid to bring the two in, and then a young human couple walked into the hall, and after the couple saluted everyone present, the woman who claimed to be Sophie's adoptive mother said, "Lord Earl, I am little Sophie's adoptive mother, thank you for helping us find her, my husband and I looked for her for a long time when she disappeared." ”

Ye Chen carefully looked at the human couple who came to the door, both of them were dressed as peasants, the man had an honest face and a dark complexion, his hands were full of calluses, and his body was a little rickety, and he always spoke in a slurred manner; The woman is relatively shrewd, fair-skinned, and her hands are white but still have a little calluses, and most of the time she talks to the Earl of Windsor.

After observing the appearance of the two, Ye Chen had a little understanding of the identities of the two, and his eyes when he looked at the two of them also had a hint of playfulness, when Louise suddenly interjected and asked, "How do you prove that you are little Sophie's adoptive parents?" ”

"Our ......, uh, who is this young lady?" The peasant girl (hereinafter referred to as the peasant girl and the peasant man) was just about to answer, but then found out that the person who was asking the question was not the Earl of Windsor, and looked at Louise suspiciously.

Louise looked at the peasant girl and said coldly, "I am Louise Wariel, the third princess of the empire, a commoner, to answer my question. ”

The peasant girl was taken aback, quickly bowed to Louise, and then said in a panic: "Your Royal Highness, we can't prove that little Sophie was picked up by my husband when he went out to work. ”

"Huo~, civilian, where did you pick up little Sophie?" Louise turned to the peasant man again.

A hint of panic flashed across the peasant man's face, but he quickly covered it up, and whispered back, "I, I picked it up in the field where I worked." ”

After listening to the peasant man's words, Louise said with a cold face: "Go back, little Sophie is not your adopted daughter at all." ”

The peasant man said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness, you can't do this, why can you be sure that little Sophie is not our adopted daughter?" ”

Louise sneered: "The fields of Yorkshire are basically within Alan Brooke's territory, do you think the guards of the territory will let an orc clan run in?" Do you think they're all blind, or are we stupid? ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I ......" The peasant man just wanted to speak, but the peasant girl pulled him and shouted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, are you trying to break up our mother and daughter?" Do you aristocrats like to break up other people's families? ”

"Well, since you don't give up, then I'll call little Sophie out and see if she recognizes you?" Louise snorted coldly and beckoned a maid to bring Sophie out.

A few minutes later, Sophie walked into the hall led by the maid, and Louise pointed to the peasant girl and the peasant boy and asked, "Little Sophie, they say they are your adoptive parents, do you know them?" ”

Little Sophie glanced at the two of them, neither shaking her head nor nodding her head, but hiding behind Louise, her eyes full of fear. Seeing Sophie's frightened face, a trace of pain flashed on the peasant girl's face, and she squatted down and gently shouted to Sophie: "Little Sophie, mom is wrong, mom shouldn't have beaten you, come here." ”

The peasant man also persuaded on the side: "Yes, little Sophie come here, Dad has already taught Mom a lesson, don't be afraid." ”

"Humph! It turns out that the injuries on little Sophie's body were all beaten by you, so I can't return her to you, come on! Louise's eyes flashed with rage, and she clapped her hands to summon a few guards.

"Louise, it's alright. Give them back little Sophie, they are indeed little Sophie's adoptive parents. Ye Chen stood up to stop the guards from coming, and turned to Louise and said.

"But ......"

"No, trust me." Ye Chen interrupted Louise's words, squatted down and touched Sophie's head and said, "Little Sophie, you go back with your adoptive parents obediently, if you are bullied there again, my brother will pick you up, do you believe my brother?" ”

"Well, Sophie believes in uncle, uncle should hurry up and pick up Sophie." Sophie nodded obediently and walked over to the peasant girl and the peasant man.

Black lines appeared on Ye Chen's head, and the corners of his mouth twitched and looked at Sophie's back, Nima, can't you call me brother if you call me uncle again? I'm so sad.

The peasant girl happily picked up Sophie and bowed to Ye Chen again and again, "Thank you, thank you for this adult!" ”

Ye Chen waved his hand and said coldly to the peasant girl: "Don't be busy thanking you first, if I find out that you are still abusing little Sophie, you can do it yourself!" ”

"Yes, yes, then we'll take our leave." The peasant man nodded tremblingly, turned around and pulled the peasant girl out of the manor.

Behind the two of them, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Let me follow your line to find out who is behind the orc slaves!" ”
