62 The man with the dagger

There isn't much prey on the mountain in the middle of winter, and it's not always possible to encounter such a thing as a pheasant.

Weken sighed helplessly and began to think about the fish in the stream.

"I hope we can find something, otherwise the brother and sister may starve to death in this ruined village. ”

Weken walked in the direction of a burned and collapsed waterwheel not far away.

Are you doing something meaningless? Even if you help this time, what about the next time?

With some boredom in his heart, Wicken came to the stream.

The downstream of the stream is so wide that it seems to be fed by an underground river, allowing waterwheels to irrigate the fields.

"But unfortunately, there are no weeds in the fields now. Weken glanced into the distance where the irrigation canal stretched, where there should have been a large field.

It seems that the harvest has been brutalized, and the fields still have the remnants of the harvest residue. The earth was dug up haphazardly, the fences were rudely smashed, and the trellises in the fields were pushed up.

Snow covered the wreckage of the fields, but there was no way to erase the tragedy that had happened here.

"As long as those two children are alive, what happened here will always be there. Weken withdrew his gaze and began to focus on finding the fish in the water.

It was cold, and the fish sank under the riverbank.

"Come on, let's see if the hidden weapon throw can work against the 'spear'. Weken looked around, and from outside the broken wooden hut next to the waterwheel, he retrieved a roll of snow-soaked hemp rope and tied it to a throwing gun.

Look into the river and look for some of the "silver light" that is revealed.

"Drink!"

Whoosh——!

The spear was shot, and a burst of red blood appeared on the silver light......

"Very good......

Retracting his spear and putting the fish away, Weken began to search for a second piece of "silver light".

And during the hunting in Weken, the old wooden house was ......

"Sister, why are you tied up?" said Gnay, sitting beside Shane, casting a curious glance at Reaya from time to time.

She had never seen such a beautiful person as Raya as white as ice and snow. Why is such a beautiful person so brutally bound? Is she doing something wrong? Is she a bad person?

Gurnay's eyes flashed with a yearning for beautiful things, and she didn't know if she would be able to grow up like the beautiful sister in front of her in the future.

After all, the other party's face, even if it is a little dusty and tired, is completely beautiful...... It's simply the blessing of the gods.

When Reaya heard Gnay's inquiry, the originally leisurely expression on her face was instantly replaced by embarrassment......

You can't say you're a prisoner of war, and you've been caught by that vulgar soldier, right? That would be a shame to be a princess! And besides, in front of these two little children! No, you have to make them worship you!

Reaya coughed twice, "Of course it is—because it's fun!"

Shane on the side glanced at Leiaya, and then shook his head: "Gnay, don't ...... each other"

Before the word "believe" in "believe" was spoken, Gnay looked like this.

"I see, it's like a house game, right? my brother used to play with me!" Gnay thought for a moment, and then smiled at Shane.

Shane nodded silently, he couldn't bear to break his sister's beautiful illusions, so he had to add: "My sister is very powerful." ”

Reaya saw that her clever words worked, and she was overjoyed for a while. It's been a while since she's been caught, and she hasn't enjoyed the praise of those around her.

"Hmph, sister, I'm going on a trip to the kingdom of Rieldo! I'm bored on the way, just having some fun!" "Leiaya raised her noble head, and her face was haughty, "It's just that Wei guy is too stupid and always doesn't listen to my commands!"

"Well, that big brother, is he your lover? I've heard that some married couples will go on wedding trips together!" Gnay looked at Reaya with adoration.

"Uh...... This, where is he the lover of this princess!" Rayaya's face fell, "The husband of this princess must be a prince on a white horse! must be a knight with countless military exploits! Where will it be, where will it be...... That kind of weird guy...... Unless...... No, at least a knight! a valiant knight!"

As she spoke, Reaya recalled the inhuman treatment she had suffered, and she was angry.

"Princess, sister, are you a princess?" Gurnay was a little surprised, "That strange sister can be so beautiful! I heard that princesses are the most beautiful people in the world!"

"Uh-huh!" Raya heard Gnay's words, her heart was overjoyed, and she generously accepted the other party's praise, "That's it! The princess is the most beautiful person in the world! I, Leiaya Vichy, as the fourth princess of the Vichy Empire, must reward you! Gnay, let's say, do you want a manor? Or do you want the title of nobleman? Hmph! Today the princess is happy, reward!"

However, the atmosphere fell silent in an instant......

"Huh?" Reaya blinked, feeling that something wasn't quite right.

Did you say the wrong thing? No, no, I really wanted to reward Gnai!

The adoration in Gnay's eyes just now was replaced by endless fear, and her hand tightened Shane's sleeve.

Shane, on the other hand, stared at Reaya coldly, with undisguised hatred and hostility on his face.

"Wait!what's going on!?" Reaya looked at the two of them blankly.

Shane stood up and pulled Gnay to the side, and the figure disappeared behind the door.

"What? I didn't say the wrong thing, did I? I was so happy just now......" Reaya hung her head in disbelief and sighed.

She put her legs away and looked dissatisfied: "I also want to give a set of rose manors to Gnay!"

Boom - ding!

Outside the door, there was the sound of a blade coming out of its sheath......

"Huh?" Reaya was stunned and looked towards the door.

Shane, who exuded murderous intent, held a short dagger in his hand. At this time, he was glaring at Reaya angrily.

"Wait! What are you going to do!?" Reaya was so frightened that she stood up and shrank towards the corner of the bed, "Don't come here!"

"It's you, ransack our village, kill our family!!! you" Shane gritted his teeth, "I'll never forget what you Vichy did to us! I'm going to kill you, princess of the Vichy Empire! Damn war criminal!"

With a roar, Shane rushed straight towards Reaya. He held a short dagger aloft, aiming at Rayaya's throat.

"Help!Guard!a

"Brother!

Whoosh——!

Boom!

"Wow!" Shane felt a pain in his back, and he was kicked to the ground.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Ken retracted his foot, glanced at Reaya calmly, and lightly untied the rope from her body, "Reaya, you go and pick up the fish outside the house." ”

"Good ......" Reaya hurriedly stood up, bypassed Shane, and grabbed the door.

"Brother!" Gnay hurriedly ran to Shane and hurriedly helped the other party up, "No injuries, right?"

"Ahem......" Shane coughed and shook his head.

As Wiken watched Reaya walk out the door, he drew his sword and looked at Shane, "What do you want to do to my captive?"

Shane sat up and stubbornly glared back at Weken: "Kill her, avenge all the villages invaded by the Vichy Empire, and all those who died tragically at the hands of the Vichy Empire soldiers! If it weren't for them, our parents would not have died, and our village would not have been destroyed! We don't have to bury all the corpses of the two hundred and thirty-one people in the village in the mass grave at the head of the village!"

"It's her, it's their nobles! It's them! They started the war, just to ......"

After a moment of silence, Shane's eyes welled up with tears.

"Just for the food we can barely survive the winter...... Just, just ......"

Outside, the sound of objects falling to the ground rang out.

Weken took a deep breath and pointed his sword at Shane, "Throw the dagger away." ”

Shane was silent.

"Brother!" Gurnay hurriedly went to grab the dagger from Shane's hand, "Please don't kill my brother! Gnay, I'm willing to do anything! Brother is my last, last family...... Please......"

Outside, there was a long silence.

The girl felt the cold around her and lowered her head. At her feet were three spears skewered with fish......

Why, that's the case......

"War is obviously full of glory...... Why, since that day, all I've seen is ...... A tragic scene of despair and hatred?"

For the first time, Leaya wondered if everything she had seen in the past was wrong.

The scene of the knight returning triumphantly on his horse, the army entering through the triumphal arch of the royal capital, and the civilians on both sides cheering and shouting praises to the warriors, is it not false?

On the battlefield, there was no cheering at all, there was no praise at all. These people are all cursing war and hating the nobles who take war as their glory.
