"Kid, why are you so impulsive?"

These were the first words the old man said yesterday when he saw Charles.

Charles looked at him puzzled, waiting for his next step.

He shook his head, sighed, and said, "Hank's kid is a bit of a problem, but haven't you thought about why we can keep him working here?" “

Charles instantly felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over his head, cold from his head to his bones. How could he not understand it, if someone like Hank could work here, then he must have something to rely on, and he humiliated him in front of so many people today, he and the people behind him would definitely not give up.

"You go, kid, go as far as you can. Hank's father is Count Macariu, his uncle is Count Wood, and his mother is His Majesty's cousin, and their family will certainly not settle down with you. I admire your children, but you mess with people you shouldn't mess with, and with what I know about them, they will definitely not let you go. The old man held his forehead in a look of extreme pain. Seeing this, the white-hatted child hurriedly stepped forward to massage it, and it took a while for the old man's face to slowly improve.

Charles raised his right hand angrily: "I am also a nobleman of the empire, I defeated him in a fair duel, why should they trouble me!" Are they not ashamed, and are they not afraid of being ridiculed? “

The old man turned his head, his expression was extremely serious at the moment: "Child, I can still count on you to be a little smarter." Alas, you're just a kid after all. But you have to remember that there is no absolute fairness and justice in this world, and the so-called fairness and justice are only revealed when they are deliberately needed. And if a noble family wants to find trouble with you, there is no need to go straight to the door, as long as they reveal a little wind, countless people will come to the door to help them deal with you. “

"Then am I going to hide like this for the rest of my life? My home is still occupied by northerners, and I have to avenge my friends! “

"Listen to the child, not only are you useless here, they will keep making trouble for you to do everything you want to do, do you want your hard-earned results to be such a consequence? These families, there is no doubt that they hold grudges, but in a sense they are forgetful, as long as you hide outside for two or three years and then come back, and don't appear in their field of vision again, they will never do anything to you again. “

A great sense of shame flooded Charles's mind, but he had to admit that the old man was right.

"Sorry sir, may I think about it?"

The old man gave Charles one last look, and Charles could see that there was disappointment and approval in his eyes, and Charles didn't understand what the old man was thinking, he just left there in a daze, and then returned to the hotel in a daze.

He lay in the inn for a day, and thought about many things, the promises he had made, the family honors he was proud of, the people he had loved and loved him, he did not know where he was going, he did not know what to do next, he looked at the long sword hanging by the table, and suddenly had a strange impulse.

Since you don't want me to have a good time, I'm going to fight you and see who is the coward!"

The hatred and anger in Charles' chest almost overflowed, and he wiped the sword in his hand, imagining what it would look like after drinking blood. Just then, there was a knock on his door outside.

Charles immediately became alert, picked up his sword, and pretended to have just woken up and asked, "Who's outside?" “

"It's me, William. Boston, the city's greatest businessman! “

Charles remembered this man, he had taught him a whole lot of life philosophy in the tavern yesterday, could he have been sent by those families to deal with him?

Charles didn't know, but he hid his sword under his quilt so he could pull it out at any time if something happened. He opened the door, and the man in front of him was the drunkard of the night, but at the moment he did not have the slightest smell of alcohol, and his clothes were neat, as if he were also some kind of nobleman.

Charles let him in and asked curiously, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

He immediately said in an extremely cheerful tone: "You are really powerful, you have provoked such a big family in just a few days after coming here, what are you going to do now?" ”

Charles frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you're here to see my jokes, then please, I'm busy." ”

He saw that Charles was a little angry, and hurriedly said in an almost flattering tone: "Relax, I have no malicious intentions, I know the faces of those families better than you, if you continue to stay here, nothing good will come of you." What are you going to do? Don't say it yet, let me guess, are you planning to kill a few members of their family before they do it, so that you don't feel like you're at a loss? ”

Charles looked at him in shock, wondering how he had guessed his thoughts.

"Confused! Do you think they won't guard against your thoughts, as long as you dare to go now, you will definitely not be arrested by them if you don't see anyone! His tone suddenly became stern: "At that time, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to be interrogated!" Compared with a small viscount who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, in the eyes of most nobles, the earl is the one who should be more supported! ”

Charles was awakened by his words, yes, how could a family as big as them have no security measures, even if he wanted to fight to the death, I'm afraid they wouldn't give him a chance. Thinking of this, Charles fell into a deep depression.

Am I really going to do nothing? Of course, it's impossible to sit still, but where do I go in the world?

The merchant looked at Charles playfully, but Charles was lost in thought and didn't even notice his eyes.

Do you want me to disguise myself as a fleeing civilian? Charles thought.

No, I can't stand it, so the only option is to continue to maintain my aristocracy and hide in other countries for a while, but I don't have anyone I know well in other countries.

Wait, there's a merchant in front of me, maybe he can take me to another country, thinking of this, Charles looked at the merchant with a look of hope.

He couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed: "That's right, I can let you mix in the caravan and take you out of this country, but you can appear as my assistant, after all, a caravan with a nobleman as a guarantor will be much more convenient in many cases." ”

Charles didn't know what to say to him, but his instincts told him it was the best option at the moment.

William the merchant paused, and suddenly said with a serious face: "I know what happened to your hometown, you can't pin your hopes on others, follow me you can at least learn how to make money, so that even if no one helps you, you can hire a group of mercenaries with your wealth to help you retake your home." Now it's time for you to decide, come with me or not? ”

"Okay, I'll go with you." Hearing this, Charles agreed without hesitation.
