"Liszt. ”

Frank said his name: "Baron de Flowertown, Lord Earl's third child, Shirley you must still remember that you always played after him when you were a child. ”

"Is it Brother Liszt, of course I remember. Shirley blinked, and a handsome face with a slight childish nature appeared in her mind.

Liszt, who has been very handsome since he was a child.

However, she has left Coral Island to study at Horn College for a few years.

Because of the inconvenience of the boat, he never returned home even during the New Year's Festival, and his impression of Liszt has gradually faded. At that time, she was not yet old enough to love the opposite sex, so naturally she would not have a clear memory of a certain little friend.

"What do you think of Liszt?" asked Frank.

Shirley shook her head: "Dad, I've only seen twelve-year-old Brother Liszt, he was just a little kid at that time, and now that he's an adult, I don't know what he's become at all." ”

"Yes, I should find a chance for you to meet. ”

At this time, Frank's wife asked, "Liszt does not seem to be valued by the Earl, and his fiefdoms have gone to the most remote flower towns. ”

"Liszt is indeed not valued by the Earl, who relied on his determination to forge ahead and create a coral island line, and he hoped that his children would be brave enough to move forward. "But in any case, he is in the blood of the Tulip family, and he is given a seal when he reaches adulthood, which is not an ordinary treatment that the second son of a nobleman can enjoy." ”

"The Count is only the kindness of an adult, he is a dutiful father, and even Livira has been awarded the baronial title. ”

The wife said enviously.

Li Vera is very influential among the aristocratic ladies of Coral Island, and the hereditary dame is rare in the entire Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

"The reason why the Earl does not pay attention to Liszt is that Liszt has bad talent and a soft personality. From my recent contacts, it seems that Liszt has been reborn, with peace and majesty, and he is becoming more and more mature. The Earl even went to the Flower Town to celebrate the Sailing Festival, which was a sign. ”

"What signs?"

"What could it be, the son had regained his father's trust, the Earl was still in his prime, and of course he hoped to join his sons in gaining more knightly glory. ”

"Yes, but he didn't go to war, Levi was already on the battlefield. ”

"Sooner or later, he has the blood of the Tulip Family and the Taro Family in his body. Frank felt that his wife had the narrow-mindedness of a small nobleman in the countryside, so he simply told his daughter directly, "Shirley, Liszt has already prepared his own knight squad, and he has purchased a batch of equipment for the armed knight squad from Tulip Castle. ”

No compliment, no action is convincing.

The country lord with a knight squad is naturally not ordinary.

Shirley's eyes lit up: "Dad, Mom, when can I see Brother Liszt, I think I have my own judgment." ”

"Our Shirley is smart, beautiful, and of course has an eye of her own, and Dad is quick to look for opportunities for you. ”

......

Staggering.

Tired and hungry.

Ivan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his companions beside him with numb eyes. The clothes were dirty and smelly, the hair was a mess, and the dust on the face could not hide the pale and sallow. The team could not distinguish between men, women and children, and even the crying of babies was weak.

"Hurry up, if you don't want to be whipped, cheer me up and keep up with the team!" shouted the clerk with a leather whip.

Every now and then the whip is thrown in the air, making a crackling sound.

Ivan was shocked, his head was slightly dizzy, and he suddenly woke up, and his heavy steps couldn't help but speed up a little. Just now, the companion beside him was whipped by the clerk, and the clothes on his body were torn, and he was so painful that he burst into tears.

"Boom!"

Another whiplash.

Ivan lowered his head and gritted his teeth to make himself a little faster. He was very afraid of whips, and when he was on the ship, his companion, who slept in the same corner and came from the same town, was beaten to death with a whip by the first mate of the ship. The wails before he died had already given him nightmares for several nights.

Inside the dream is a nightmare.

In reality, it's also a nightmare.

He missed the days of hard work on the island, even though he would not have enough to eat, and there were knights with whips to whip serfs who could not pay their taxes. But most of the time, he is free to move around and chat with others. Even head out into town to catch a glimpse of the beautiful proprietress of the bakery.

One day, however, everything changed.

He heard the knights shouting and killing, and then a group of knights, red with blood, came to his village and drove them away. Some people don't want to go and are killed, and those who don't want to be killed have to follow them. It was on this day that he left his homeland and began a nightmare of constant jolting.

He was taken to a market where serfs like him were sold.

Locked in a cage, eating a little spoiled black bread, muddy. Serfs were constantly being taken away, and new serfs were being brought in.

Then he was taken away.

He followed a group of strangers on the big ship, he couldn't understand the people on the boat, and he didn't dare to talk to others. What I didn't expect was that there was a person on the ship who knew him, and they were from a small town.

"It's the Sapphire Man!" his companion told him.

He instantly thought of the legend of the "barbarians", every year, there will be barbarians from the sea, come to the Eagle Kingdom to burn, kill and plunder, they are all from the Grand Duchy of Sapphire on the sea.

"There are sapphire people on board, and we have been sold to the barbarians! We are captured by mercenaries, and they are more hateful than rats!" said the companion resentfully, "I swear! One day, I will come back, find these mercenaries, and kill them all!"

Ivan did not answer.

He was frightened by his companion's words.

Since he was a child, he has never killed a single chicken - because there are no chickens at home - only the nobles have ever killed serfs, and serfs dare not kill.

Unfortunately, not long after his companion took the oath, he was whipped to death.

Ivan had no one to talk to, and continued to have nightmares that he couldn't wake up from, he had never been on a boat, and he was seasick and almost fainted. Today, a few days later, he finally set foot on land, in a completely unfamiliar place. He couldn't understand a word of what the people here were saying.

I don't know where I'm going to be driven to.

He is confused about tomorrow, he doesn't know what he is holding onto, and he doesn't even know what persistence is. It's just that with the whip in this way, I go wherever I go, and I never think of death, and I don't know what joy life has. He walked so much that he didn't know how numb his legs were the first time.

I heard the clerk waving his whip again, shouting something.

He didn't understand, but the team slowly stopped, and when others stopped, he stopped, and finally could rest his legs for a while.

See others start to sit down.

He sat down again.

No one spoke, everyone on board was forbidden to communicate, and now they are accustomed to silence. He looked up, and his eyes fell on a female serf not far ahead, who was preparing to nurse the baby, lifting the tattered clothes, revealing the shriveled breasts, and stuffing them into the baby's mouth.

The baby sucks hard, not knowing if it can suck a little milk.

If before, Ivan would have swallowed his saliva and peeked greedily at a woman's breasts, he was still young and had never touched a woman's hands, let alone bulging breasts.

But at the moment, his breasts were unattractive, and he didn't have the slightest thought to think about it—his already hungry intestines were about to stir together.

The sun moved overhead, and it was noon.
