In the evening, the unfast convoy stopped in the previous town until they had eaten hot bread, and the suffering women were fully convinced that they were not being taken to execution.

Rafa did not dare to let the convoy move at night, so he had to pay for the girls to live in the town's house, while he himself kept the road with his men to prevent the cavalry of Kosol from catching up.

Sitting around the fire under the tree, the knights were tasting beef, bread, and new wine bought from the town's inn, the wine of the north was very sweet, neither spicy nor too intoxicating, even Audelle, who never drank, could drink some, but she didn't like the new wine, she liked the cellar wine that Philisille had treasured at the last fondue party, and for the other knights, it was not difficult to drink a whole bottle alone, among which Knight Kyle, who was a woman, had the most wine, sitting by the fire, surrounded by scattered clay pots.

Rafa didn't stop them from drinking, after all, it was hard to come out once, and it was not good to be too depressed.

"Those pursuers shouldn't come again, let's all go back to the inn and rest. Rafa set aside the drained clay pot and snorted.

"Yes. ”

The well-fed knights were very obedient, and besides, they did need sleep after a day and a night, and they could not go as sleepless for days on end as Rafa.

"Huh, why are you still here?"

The knights were gone, and Audrey was still sitting next to Rafa, who had to rush her.

"Ahh......h

"Go back to the hotel, you and Kyle sleep in the same room. He urged again.

"Nope. Audrey crossed her knees and stared at the fire.

"Stubborn girl again," Rafa smiled helplessly, moving her ass to give way to a place under a tree, "Come and sit here." ”

"Hmm. ”

Audrey immediately agreed, and sat beside him with her back against the tree.

In the quiet of the night, when no one spoke, Rafa mentally estimated when Audrey would doze off.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the tired Audair to begin to hang her head slightly, and the cool breeze of early spring came out, and she unconsciously leaned towards Rafa.

"Sleep. ”

Rafa gently hugged her and leaned her into his arms.

The tired Audair opened her eyes slightly, and after seeing that it was the familiar person, she rubbed it like a quilt, and then closed her eyes with a faint smile.

Rafa rarely saw her smile, and couldn't help but lower his head and stare at her lovely sleeping face, I really don't know how this stubborn girl became the guardian knight of "Rafa".

As the night deepened and the cool breeze grew stronger, he took off his big hat and draped it over Audrey's body, and Audrey tightened the "quilt" on her body as if she thought she was sleeping on the bed.

"Click"

Rafa was about to carry Audrey back to the inn when the sound of a tree branch in the darkness in the distance caught his attention, like the sound of someone walking and accidentally stepping on a branch.

But after that, there was no movement in the darkness, as if nothing had happened, everything was an illusion.

"Hey, I said...... Are you performing pantomime?"

Rafa had already seen the girl standing in the dark, and the girl had accidentally stepped on a branch, and was so frightened that she could not move, and could only stand in the darkness, thinking that Rafa could not see her.

"Ah......h

"You want to go back to the city of Corsol?" his voice was soft so as not to wake Audrey, but the little girl could hear it clearly in the silence of the night.

"I ......" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl stopped her body and hesitated, it was obvious that she had some difficulties, but some could not speak.

"Come on, talk about it, maybe I can help you. ”

"Oh......"

Perhaps sensing the kindness in Rafa's words, she gritted her teeth and made her way to the fire.

Caught by the firelight, Rafa finally saw some of her face clearly, this is a brown-haired girl, her face is very beautiful, and a pair of dark blue eyes indicate that she may have noble blood, but her noble status does not seem to allow her to avoid being beaten, at this time her body is full of holes, and you can see that the holes are full of wounds.

"She must be in pain. Rafa thought to herself.

"What's your name?" he asked, watching the little girl crouch down by the fire.

"My name is Vina......"

"My name is Rafa, and I'm the lord of Icefield City, if you don't want to go to Icefield City, you can tell me, and I'll ask someone from this town to take you somewhere else. ”

Rafa knew that Renault's army was coming, as long as he was a normal person, he would never be optimistic about Icefield City, let alone this little girl, even the merchants who had recently come to Icefield City were declining sharply, which was also the reason why he couldn't see a few people along the way.

"No... That was not what I meant...... I've been homeless for a long time... Now that you're willing to take us in, of course I'm willing to ......," Vena hurriedly explained.

"Then what are you doing running out in the middle of the night?"

"I ...... You...... Two of my friends are still in prison in the city of Kosol, and I... I want to go back and save them......" she finally spoke, after a long grunt, "I know I can't do it alone...... But... But I just can't let them go......"

"That's the case...... Rafa frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, I was careless at the time and didn't send someone to check the prison." ”

"No, it's not your ......" Vina shook her head.

"Wait for me here. After a moment's thought, he gave Vina a word of advice, and then carefully picked up Audair and returned to the inn, so as not to wake Kyle, he had to put her in his room, and then he quickly came to the fire.

"Let's go. Rafa pinned his sword to his waist and his rifle over his shoulder, and said to Vina.

"Ah...... Are you willing to save Litan and the others?" Vina suddenly became happy, but immediately bowed her head again, "Forget it...... That's too dangerous......"

"Less nonsense. ”

He took a black horse, stepped on it, lifted Litan up, and let the horse walk slowly, leaving the town and galloping completely.

Vina, who had never ridden a horse before, felt particularly excited, and the horse under her crotch seemed to have endless energy, and every leap seemed to throw her out of the horse, and if it weren't for the solid embrace behind her, she felt that she would have fallen long ago.

"Vina, are you a witch?"

In the howling wind, Rafa asked a question that scared her out of the crackles.

Feeling Vina's body tense suddenly, he knew that he was right, "Hey, what are you going to do?"

Having been identified, Vina struggled to jump off her horse, and Rafa deserved to hold on to her.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you!" Vina struggled more and more, and he had to stop the horse.

"You're a liar! You already knew I was a witch and wanted to send me to Kosol for trial!, otherwise how could you be so happy to agree to me to save people?"

In the end, she had no choice but to stretch out her hand, which seemed to be using magic.

The hard ground flowed like quicksand, forcing the horses to adjust their steps in a panic, and then two strands of earth rose from the ground in the shape of sharp cones and stabbed straight at Rafa.

"Earth Witch, you've picked up a treasure again!" and in a split second, Rafa decided that she must not be allowed to escape.

He wielded the Star Concealment, one hand wrapped around Vina's waist, and the other drew his long sword and quickly cut off two soft-looking but extremely hard earth thorns.

But cutting off two thorns wasn't enough, and Vina continued to control more thorns.

"Vina, I really won't hurt you!" Rafa wanted to knock her unconscious with one punch, but she was afraid that she would wake up and go crazy again, so she could only persuade her while cutting off the earth thorns, "There are many witches in Icefield City, and they are doing well!"

Vina didn't believe it, and continued to manipulate the thorns.

The sword struck a semicircle in the darkness of the night, slashing all the thorns of earth that came around it.

"My wife is also a witch!" he had no choice but to ramble out.

"Really!?"

I thought that Vena would struggle for a while, but as soon as she heard this, she immediately stopped the surrounding thorns.

Rafa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course it's true. ”

In Aura, no one will accept the existence of a witch, let alone marry a witch, and Rafa, as the prince of a country, can say that his wife is a witch, unless it is true, no one will admit this kind of behavior in the eyes of others as if it is a union with the devil.

"How are you going to make me believe you?" asked Vina again.

"Uh...... I don't know how to prove it," Rafa thought for a moment, and finally showed her her the ring, "which my wife made herself." ”

"Flame Rose ......" Taking advantage of the moonlight, Vina held his hand and looked at it carefully, "Flame Rose is the name of a magic group from a long time ago......"

"Hehe, I said I didn't lie to you, did I?" Although he didn't know what the Flame Rose meant, Rafa was ready to go downhill.

"Well, I believe you. ”

In this way, the suspicious Vina, after seeing the rose in the ring, was immediately convinced.

Because they were lightly armed, the two of them soon arrived at the giant city that was like a devouring beast, and at this time the city gate was closed, and the corpses hanging upside down on the city wall were particularly dazzling in the moonlight like water.

As time was pressing, they could not wait until dawn for the gates to open before entering the city, so he led the horses into a grassy wasteland, and did not tie them up, but let them graze on their own.

"Hold on to me. ”

"Hmm!"

Picking up Vina and wrapping her around her neck, Rafa gathered a little strength, jumped up, and lightly touched the spot where the fat woman Jiani had hit today, and then jumped several times in succession on the wall, and easily leaped up the city wall, landing firmly behind the dozing guards, without making a sound.

"You're a witch!?"

The astonished Vina had obviously never seen ordinary people do such a thing, and her eyes couldn't help but widen.

He smiled bitterly, "I'm a gentleman!"
