Chapter 68: Returning to the City (3)
Count Atlas paused, and his expression suddenly became a little serious: "Jokes are jokes, and the reward is still yours." According to the original agreement, you will be rewarded with 150 dinars for each bandit killed, and 50 dinars for beheading or capturing. According to what I have received, you have eliminated a total of five bandits near the town in one month, beheaded one hundred and twelve, and captured two prisoners. Hey, it looks like we're going to have to bleed once, 6,450 dinars in total, and you dare to call yourself poor? You're richer than I am! ”
In fact, Charles had long known that this "hunt" must have been fruitful, and his heart did not fluctuate much about this number, but in order to cater to Count Atlas, he still made an ecstatic appearance as much as possible. Seeing this, Count Atlas really became a lot more happy.
"Okay, you've been out there for a month this time, and you've suffered a lot, so I won't bother you. Hull, you lead the Charles and them to fetch six thousand five hundred dinars, and then don't bother them with the nearest city defense, give these awesome boys a week's leave! Let them have a good rest, but I mean, you have to be on duty for me after a week, or I'll deduct your wages!" Hahaha, go for it! ”
With that, Count Atlas stopped paying attention to the Charles, and he casually picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the liquid inside. Then he said coldly to the merchants: "Now, after solving my housework, it's your turn." You say, 'What shall I do with you?' ”
Seeing this, Charles and his party also said goodbye and left very interestingly, and followed the butler Hull towards the vault behind the castle. In a short time, they came to the beautiful dreamlike garden behind the castle, and the vault was hidden in the deepest part of the garden.
"Charles, uh...... Mr. Charles! Can you come over for a moment, my brother has something to look for you! ”
Just as Charles and the others were lining up, waiting for the guards waiting for the vault to negotiate with the butler Hull, a young woman's delicate voice came from the side. Charles' eyes lit up at the sound of her voice. He replied casually: "Okay, Miss Elena, I'll go over here." Bill, you can get the money for me first, and I'll go and see what Mr. Dewey is doing with me. When you're done, go and wait for me at the Drunken Hunter, and I'll be here in a moment." ”
The cavalry did not suspect him, and casually agreed. However, when the cavalry only had a bounty of 400 dinars each, while the Shire, as a commander, had a bounty of 900 dinars, it became necessary to coax the charr to entertain them. In order to appease them and maintain the relationship, Charles had to make a defeated appearance and agreed in distress. But at the same time, he also noticed that the butler Hull looked at him with a strange gaze, and he didn't know if he knew something to look at himself like this, which also made Charles start to suffer a little bit from gain and loss.
However, these doubts are so insignificant compared to the upcoming date with the lover.
"Charles, you're finally back! How did you lose weight, do you know how worried I was about you during this time! I'll tell you not to go, don't go, how dangerous it must be to exterminate the bandits, you don't listen, I have to pray for you every day, you are really necrotic! But it's okay, God bless you, I heard Amanda and them say that I'm waiting for you here when you're back, I thought I couldn't wait for you, but I didn't expect to let me wait! I'll tell you, during the time you left, I learned to embroider tulips with my mother, and I'll give it to you after I've embroidered this wallet in a few days, isn't it amazing! Also, in order to learn this, my hands have been pricked several times, and you don't say anything to comfort me! You know how to be a hero, and go out on an adventure! Is...... It's really a bad guy, I don't want to see you, I won't give you my wallet, and I'll throw it away when it's done, so I won't give it to you! ”
Listening to Elena's words, Charles's heart welled up with endless tenderness, and he looked at her with love in his eyes.
"There are some things that I haven't had time to tell you yet, I was injured during the time I went out to fight bandits, and the doctor said that I may die soon......"
Before he could finish speaking, Elena cried and took his hand: 'No! No! I don't want you to die, tell me you're lying to me! You're lying to me, right, please! Don't leave me! “
Seeing that she was serious, Charles said with a very bad taste, "Yes, the doctor said that if I can get Miss Elena's gift and a sweet kiss, maybe I can save it, or ......"
Elena listened to him talking nonsense, and suddenly understood that he was teasing himself, so she was very angry and pulled her hand out of his hand: "Then you go, hmph, I don't want to save you anyway, you know that I am worried about you and bullying me, so I don't want to save you!" ”
Charles smiled and lowered his head, and couldn't help but lean over to those clear and pure eyes. Looking at the slowly approaching Charles, Elena's eyes suddenly flashed, and her face flushed.
Charles was also a little stunned, regretting his audacity, and deeply intoxicated by the beauty of his lover. He stared blankly at the shy dark-eyed lover across from him, watching her roll her eyes like a restless little rabbit.
After a long time, he wiped his palm on the corner of his clothes, and mustered up the courage to stretch it out. Elena struggled slightly, and let him take her hand.
Charles took her hand and said tenderly: "Actually, I can't bear you, you know, I love you so much!" In this world, except for me, anyone else who says a word to you will arouse my jealousy! But I had to do it, even though I was also a nobleman, and I had my own fiefdom on another continent. But I am so small compared to your family, your father, and their status. If I don't behave better, how can your father agree to let you be with me? Listen to Elena, I love you, I swear to God, I will marry you in this life, and let you be my Bourbon wife. Whenever people mention you, they must say that you are happy Mrs. Charles. I promise you! Trust me, okay! ”
Elena listened to his explicit words and the love in them, and unconsciously became intoxicated, and just as she wanted to pour out her heart like her lover, her maid Amanda whispered from behind the grass, "Miss! You can't stay here any longer, young master, he's here! ”
