"It's a kid indeed!"

I stood up and stroked the boy's furry head, and he ducked away in disgust, his eyes spewing out of resentful flames.

"You won't understand, child, what kind of humanoid monster revenge will turn you into, and the moment you decide to put the yoke of revenge on your back, the devil will be with you for the rest of your life, and God will no longer care for you, and he will never hear your prayers again."

"Even if I can't ascend to heaven after death, I'm willing to bear the fire of hell, as long as I can kill you!" The boy named Hills cursed through gritted teeth.

"Funny little guy."

I smiled tastelessly, waved my hand and motioned for my subordinates to let them go: "Let's go, go and fulfill your vows, I want to see how long you can hold on." ”

The soldier slowly untied the rope that bound the captive, still not believing that the Duke had let the enemy go so easily.

"May God bless you, merciful sir, and I will pray to God every day for you!"

The mother who had been pardoned hurriedly pulled a pair of children, and staggered back while incoherently grateful, for fear that the fierce Duke had temporarily changed his mind.

After the hiccup of entering the city, the square of the castle was piled up with all sorts of things that had been removed from the cellar, and Owen and a few others were directing the soldiers to pack and transport them in an orderly manner.

"My lord, the fire is ready, it's cold outside, please go in and warm up." A soldier said cautiously.

The castle hall near the fire was full of wounded, some of them had died along the way, some were in a coma, some were still holding on, but everyone's desire to return home was hot and strong, which was also the belief that supported everyone to continue walking.

"How many died?" I turned my face away from the painful wounded, as if it would make me feel better, but I couldn't stop the sound*.

"Seven!" Including those who died before, a total of one hundred and nineteen people! ”

I nodded silently, carefully dodging the outstretched arm of a wounded man:

"Find a clean place to cremate them all, since they fought side by side in life, they have to be inseparable from each other after death, remember that the ashes must be packed well, I promised my warriors that I would take each of them home."

"I see, sir." The soldier choked up.

Night soon fell, and the warriors, who had been hungry all day, were busy filling their stomachs, and I was holding a plate full of broth, and I could not eat with a strong appetite.

Owen sat in a circle, stuffing food and making a wolfing sound, just like a few shell pigs grabbing food, as a knight, he only thought about carrying out the order to destroy the enemy, as for how to destroy the enemy, that was something that the Duke had to consider.

"Sir, don't you have an appetite?"

I'm so used to Codename Four's ever-mysterious appearance that I can't get used to anymore, as if she has a gimbal door and can always easily appear near me.

"Isn't the broth tasty tonight?"

With a mouthful of hot soup in my mouth, I swallowed slowly with my Adam's apple, and said unhurriedly: "The appetite is okay, but it scares you enough, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal."

Owen and the others were quite afraid of this woman who was always wrapped in black and smelled of death, and when they saw her standing beside them, they immediately fled in embarrassment, lest they avoid it, and even threw their food plates in place.

"If you're done, I've got something for you to see."

Code Name Four said, and as if by magic, he took out a tightly tied cloth bag from his back, the size of an enamel washbasin.

As a person who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, even if there is a trace of blood, I can sensitively capture it, and my brows can't help frowning.

"What's in your hand?"

What to take? There was a voice in the darkness that told me the answer, but I didn't want to pay attention to it.

Codename Four silently unfastened the dead button of his pocket, and with each layer opened, the smell of blood became stronger until the people in the hall were all looking at it.

"You are so merciful, so I have done the wicked for you."

Three blood-blurred human heads lay quietly in the package, their faces unrecognizable, but I knew that this was the Shills mother and son, the angry vengeful teenager who could no longer fulfill his vow.

"I personally promised to release them, and you are not doing this to share my worries, but to create more souls that curse me."

The stomach was tumbling in the sea, I endured the nausea and got up, paced a few steps to the door, but the young man's resentful eyes always swirled in my mind, lingering for a long time.

"When a man dies, the curse loses its effect."

Code Name Four was back to the cold Enides, the heroic knight on the battlefield, the daughter of the duke, not the helpless little girl in the Nijmegen Tower, hugging her shoulders and sobbing.

"I've done it, I've seen it, let people take it out and bury it, don't delay everyone's appetite."

The moon is round, illuminating the earth shrouded in night, but it does not illuminate a gray heart:

"After the heavy mountain ahead, you should be able to see the rippling waters of the Rhine, right?"

"There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the way home is difficult......"

Codename Four really carries the corrupt smell of death, which makes people shudder from the bottom of their hearts, and such a gorgeous female god of death, anyone who sees it will be terrified.

The night was long, I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep, as if there was something lingering in the darkness, was it the grumbling young Hills? Or the dead Baron Otto? Or the countless souls who died under the iron hooves of Nijmegen? I opened my eyes wide and looked at the deep ceiling, and my thoughts wandered at random, it was too noisy! I covered my ears, and the spirits whispered around my ears, laughing at me, mocking me, cursing me......

The road ahead, there is no end in sight, and the road behind me is even darker and uncomfortable.

"Afraid of nightmares, sir?"

It's code name four, since the last assassination, she has been inseparable, although most of the time I can't see anyone, but she hides in a corner close to me, always ready to deal with sudden danger, so, when she speaks, I don't feel strange at all.

"I'm not afraid of nightmares, it's that I can't afford to dream."

Following the direction of the voice, I folded my legs and rested my chin on my knees:

"There is always a time to wake up from nightmares, and when you come back to reality, you won't remember the things that scared you anymore, but my nightmares, from dreams to reality, ring after ring, no end, no hope, no answer, are they in dreams, are we now?"

"According to this, everyone is accompanying you to dream that you can't wake up, with faith, with blood, with life, but you have given up the idea of giving up and continuing to do it."

The voice of code name four changed to the other side, moving very quickly: "How to go tomorrow, hundreds of people are waiting for your orders!" ”

"Tomorrow's road, can you rely on these hundreds of people to go on?"

Day and night, the strong Duke of Nijmegen and the timid crossing man switch roles with each other, one yearning for glory, the other yearning for warmth, doubting and self-confidence alternately fighting, tearing at my split personality, sometimes I really don't know - I, who is it?

"My lord, my lord, someone is asking to see me."

Codename Four shook my shoulders and whispered softly in my ear, the heat caressing my skin and tickling.

"It was the first young man to eat crabs in Martini, and he brought a girl over, as if something was important."

"Huh?"

I had just fallen asleep for a long time, and my mind was distracted and I couldn't get it back, and her words went into my left ear and my right ear, and I didn't remember anything in a trance.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Rabbit...... Or badgers? Probably something like that, Martini, the young man whose house was ruined, was outside the door. ”

The voice of Codename Four grew quieter and quieter, and then it jumped in another direction:

"Do you want him to come in? It took too long to wake you up, and they've been waiting for a while. ”

"Oh, that young man, I remember."

Rubbing the remaining debris from the corners of my eyes, I forced myself to wake up quickly: "Tell him to go to the outside room." ”

Wrapped in thick skin, still unable to withstand the biting cold of the mountain night, I moved my chair to the fire, and picked up a stick to make the firewood burn more vigorously.

The next hall was full of soldiers sleeping on the floor, and the sound of thunderous snoring, even through such a thick stone wall, still shook people to think that there was a train rumbling through it.

"It's horrible!" I muttered to myself as I pressed my throbbing temples.

"Your Excellency."

The moment the door opened, the roar of the train turned into the scream of the plane, and a cool air quickly hit in, looking for the cuffs to drill in, I couldn't help but shiver, the whole person immediately sobered up, the rabbit bent down respectfully, and his eyes drifted behind him, and he should have brought someone.

"Come in, it's okay, the Duke is quite kind." He whispered persuasion, smiled at me in fear, and reached out to pull his companion in.

It turned out to be a girl! The rabbit smiled shyly at me, but the girl stared at the floor and did not dare to look up, as if there was a bewitching Medusa in front of her, which would turn into stone at a glance, and she looked obviously cramped and uneasy.

She is not tall, and will reach the shoulders of her male companions, but she has a large skeleton, looks strong and healthy, and is a good worker, a woman of this stature can endure hardships and be good at birth, and is quite sought-after in the countryside, and her dark chestnut hair is washed cleanly and tied into a beautiful braid, which is more than a grade fresher than those women who are tired by housework.

With the unique vitality and sunshine of a girl, the baby's fat face is red, the small nose bridge is cute and protruding, dotted with a few playful freckles, the two eyes are hooked into a charming moon bend, and the thick lips are lighter in color, which should be the sequelae of long-term malnutrition.

All in all, this childish little girl still retains the precious temperament of a girl, and her youth allows her to radiate a different kind of eye-catching light even if she does nothing, just standing simply, that kind of refreshing warm sunshine.

"Ahem!"

Seeing me staring at the little girl in a daze, Codename Four coughed twice and reminded that the dignified duke's squinting old rascal expression in public was really unseemly.

I glared at her with disgust, the brain of Codename Four, who wanted everything to the extreme, had to understand it as a complaint that something bad had happened, and instead looked at the rabbit with a slightly nervous face, he also fell into the same confusion as Codename Four, and misunderstood the change in my expression before and after.

"Uh-huh."

I pretended to be calm and cleared my throat and decided to take the initiative on the court:

"You came in the middle of the night to ask for a meeting, do you have something to say?"

"Yes, sir."

The rabbit bit his lip and spat out a few words:

"I do have something I want to ask for your forgiveness."

Forgive? These two words are too heavy, I can't help frowning, subconsciously twisting my beard, the majesty of the superior is naturally revealed, and the powerful aura makes the temperature of the room close to freezing.

"Your Excellency?"

The rabbit's voice trembled, and now it confirmed their speculation that I was going to take over the people's daughter.

"You...... I...... Her name is Sanny, and she's mine......" he said in a rambling voice, and the two secretly exchanged panicked glances, their little hands hooked together.

I see! The holding hand seemed to give each other great comfort, and the rabbit raised her voice: "Sunny is my love, I want to marry her!" ”

"Married?"

In the darkness, Codename Four's pupils shrank, and he locked on to me, as if he was afraid that the Duke would really see the color and do something terrible, and that feeling made me quite unhappy.

"That's a good thing, I agree and bless you two who love each other."

My answer was unexpected, and Codename Four simply opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Are you telling the truth, sir?"

The rabbit was excited in disbelief, and his face flushed again: "Thank you, my lord, and may God bless you!" ”

"Since you like it, you must be together, how much you like it, show it happily, don't wait until things are wrong, and then regret your own lack of effort, if I was like this, what would happen if I was like that, God only gives everyone a chance to truly love, missed, you have to guard the wounded heart and die alone, young man, love hard!"

I wanted to say a word of encouragement, but I blurted out so much, and the men and women in love listened sincerely hand in hand, and the room was filled with the pink smell of happiness.

"This girl...... Sanny, is she the maid of the castle? "Like a kind elder, I pull up the warmth of the home.

"Sanny's mother is the cook of the castle, and his father ......"

The rabbit carefully observed the beloved girl, hesitated for a long time before continuing: "She doesn't know who her father is, her mother raised her alone, she usually does some chores in the kitchen, and has never been to the kitchen and the back garden other than the place, those nobles who live above, you know, live under the noses of beasts is quite hard, when entering the city, the soldiers are scavenging everywhere, there are a few old ruffians who want to take the opportunity to do bad things, just let me bump into her, so I saved her unevenly, and their mother and daughter are very grateful, Willing to entrust me with the future. ”

The Martini boy blushes and gazes tenderly at the girl he has met for less than a day, believing in love at first sight.

"And I love her very, very much."
