Chapter 10: The Visitor
On the rugged path from the castle to the forest, Freya walked out with a fat pheasant in her hand.
Grimm Castle was like a stone beast lying on the border of the neighboring country, but the castle gates were wide open compared to the moment when they left.
Three ornate carriages drawn by pure white war horses were parked at the castle gate, and a redbud-shaped object was carved on the side of the carriage, and several unfamiliar faces in the shape of horsemen were sitting beside the carriage and chatting.
'By the war horse-drawn carriage?' Who is so generous. ’
Freya looked at the handsome horses in front of the carriage and was a little surprised.
"Whose carriage is this?" Freya asked as she walked over to the grooms.
Perhaps seeing Freya's aristocratic attire, several chatting grooms were suddenly silenced, and one of the grooms stepped forward and said respectfully.
"This young lady, this is Viscount Berta's carriage."
'Viscount Berta? Freya frowned slightly.
She knew that this viscount was the nominal baron's top boss, and the territory was also next door to the Green family, but because of the baron's private soldiers and his own strong strength, the two families had a tacit understanding that the well water did not interfere with the river water, and they usually did not interact.
'What is Bertha doing at this time?' ’
Confused and ignoring the groom, Freya walked straight into the castle.
Inside the castle, in Freya's field of vision, it was obvious that it had been cleaned, and a lot of messy things had also been cleaned up.
She looked at the clean-up surroundings as she slowly walked towards the castle hall.
As the distance approached, staccato words came out of it.
"Why hasn't Baron Green been here for so long?" An impatient, unfamiliar voice
"Lord Baron went to the iron mine at noon, I have already informed you, the distance is not very far, I believe you will be back soon." It was Mary's familiar voice.
"Isn't there anyone in this castle who can talk to now? It's really a country place, there is not even decent tea, and the maids are not of high grade. ”
"I'm so sorry, it's only Master Eric in the castle right now, if..."
"That's the piece of crap you're talking about?" The unfamiliar voice interrupted Mary's words, "What is he?" ”
Freya, who had just walked up the steps, frowned slightly when she heard this, it was obvious that her brother Eric was in the hall in addition to Mary.
"What's going on?" A cold voice came out of her mouth.
With frost on her face, Freya strode to the castle hall, her blonde hair raised slightly.
Coming into view was a frivolous young man sitting on a couch in the lobby, dressed in pure white aristocratic attire, and behind this man stood four strong guards in full compound armor.
Mary and Eric stood next to her, Mary was fine, and Eric was pale and kept his head down without saying a word.
"Who are you? Could it be that the people of Grimm Castle are so ignorant of the rules? The young man frowned slightly, and looked Freya up and down with the look of picking an object.
"This is the second daughter of Lord Baron, Miss Freya." When Mary saw Freya coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to introduce her.
Ignoring Mary's introduction, Freya handed the prey in her hand to the maid next to her, then turned her head.
"Who are you? Could it be that Green Castle is also a cat and a dog casually entered? ”
"You!! … I am Olysses, the second son of Viscount Berta! You are a lowly woman who insults me, even if you are the daughter of Baron Green......" The young man almost jumped to his feet when he heard Freya's provocation, but the guards behind him quickly stopped.
You must know that this is Grimm Castle, the base camp of the Grimm family, even if the baron is a subordinate of the viscount according to the title, but anyone understands that this is only the surface, and the real fight is still their own strength.
Perhaps startled by Freya's words, both Mary and Eric looked at Freya in disbelief.
Ignoring the red-faced Viscount who was stopped by his own guards, Freya's cold gaze turned to Eric next to Mary.
"Eric, I don't care how you usually give up on yourself, but you are my younger brother, my father is not here now, you are the only man in the Green family at this moment, but today I am really disappointed in you, I don't care what you usually do, I want you to know that if a person doesn't even have the courage to resist when he tramples on people's dignity, what is the difference between that and a carrion corpse?"
Facing the aristocratic young man with heavy dark circles in front of him, a cold tone spit out from her mouth.
And Eric looked at his sister, who had never spoken to him a few times, and his strict eyes gradually overlapped with the former baron.
Even if the words spoken were extremely cold, they were like a fountain of warm water to this teenager at this time.
If you don't care about a person, then even criticism won't give charity.
Scenes flashed through his eyes, and Eric's dull eyes gradually filled with tears, and his flabby palms slowly clenched.
"I... I know! Sister! A hoarse voice burst out of his throat, and Eric wiped away tears from the back of his hand and turned to his bedroom.
Looking at the back of the young man in the distance, Freya sighed secretly in her heart, even though she knew the reason for her brother's inferiority, but the shackles in his heart were still with the baron, and now he only opened a crack with words, and the rest could only depend on himself.
It wasn't until Eric's back disappeared from her field of vision that Freya turned her head to face the second son of the viscount, who was still scolding, and said lightly.
"Aunt Mary, I see that Young Master Olisses is very tired, take him to rest first, father should be here soon."
Mary, who had not recovered from the shock just now, suddenly came back to her senses.
"Ahh Oh yes, miss. ”
The second son of the viscount, who looked like a madman, was carried to the next guest room by his guards.
Freya watched the few people leave with an indifferent expression, and she didn't really care about her behavior of offending the second son of the viscount.
Although the baron and the viscount are adjacent to each other, the so-called title is simply a pretense, this place is far away from Emperor Byron, and what you see is still the power in your hands.
And the Green family itself belongs to a family similar to the army, and for Viscount Berta, who is in the form of business, it is not at all that he provokes.
And the fundamental reason why Freya did this was that she didn't want her half-brother to be so depraved, it didn't matter if the waste didn't have a trace of aggressiveness, then it would be a big mistake, after all, he had the blood of the Baron in his body.
Recalling Eric's appearance just now, she sighed slightly, and her cold eyes gradually eased.
"Hopefully, this lesson will cheer him up."
Touching the hilt of the sword at her waist, it was still early at this time, and she planned to go to the practice room again to practice her swordsmanship.
In the past two days, although she is still practicing, Freya feels that her recent physical growth is not as fierce as it was at the beginning, and she has vaguely entered a state of stagnation.
However, at the age of fourteen, her physical qualities and other aspects will continue to grow even if she does not exercise, so the reason may be that the basic swordsmanship has reached the limit.
"Isn't it time to think about a higher swordsmanship?" As she walked, Freya thought about her next steps: "Do you want to ask your father?" ”……
The reception room at Castle Green.
The gorgeous room was in shambles.
"No one!! No one had ever dared to speak to me like that, not even my father! That lowly woman, how dare she...! A low roar came out of the mouth of the hideous Olisses, and his eyes were filled with great grievances in addition to anger, and there were faint tears shining with crystalline tears.
