Section 47: Harvey's Revenge (2nd Update)

Harvey was originally the youngest daughter of a peasant family living in the southern provinces, his father and brother cultivated the collective public farmland and a small plot of private land in the village, his mother was a traditional peasant woman, and her beautiful sister often took little Harvey to the forest to pick mushrooms, although the memory has been blurred by time, but Harvey can still remember that his mother shook off her clothes and put them on the wooden pole outside the small hut, and his father and brother were always silently waving the pitchfork in the field, the scene was calm and nostalgic warmth.

But when Harvey was six years old, Henry the Bird Catcher had a dispute with the king, and the two sides encouraged their vassals to fight for royal power, and the nobles chanted honor and justice to recruit the peasants from the fields, and Harvey's family, as farmers, could only watch the father and brother who were taken away, and the mother stood at the head of the village and hugged her daughters and wept bitterly, and since then Harvey has no news of his father and brother, and his mother and sister have to work hard in the fields and pay taxes to the lord, Until which day.

"Honorable lord, we have nothing left, my husband and son are still fighting for the king, and we women alone cannot pay enough taxes, please be merciful for God's sake." The mother knelt before the nobleman on his horse, stretched out her hand to him and begged.

"Shut up, it is God's duty to fulfill your taxes, and if you fail to complete them, you will all be driven out of my land." The nobleman, on his horse, crossed his left hand at his waist, shouted at Harvey's mother.

"No, no. We've lived here for generations, and we're going to die if we leave here. Harvey's mother's hair was disheveled, and she stretched out her withered hands to grab the nobleman's clothes, but her action was devastating.

"Huh~~~." The nobleman's mount in the crotch, perhaps not trained enough, was frightened by Harvey's mother to stand up and threw the nobleman off his horse.

"Sir, sir." The nobles' attendants hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, the nobles covered in dirt were embarrassed, and the villagers who were watching the excitement around laughed, and the nobles who paid attention to face were annoyed and angry.

"Brush." The nobleman drew his sword from his waist. Stabbed Harvey's mother in the abdomen. The sharp sword pierced through the peasant woman's body, and Harvey's mother looked at the nobleman in front of her in disbelief, she couldn't imagine that the nobleman would actually stab the people she was supposed to protect with his sword.

"Wow~~~." The surrounding villagers all let out exclamations, they did not expect the nobles to suddenly kill people. The terrified villagers ran in all directions for escape.

"She tried to attack the nobility. I punished her according to the law. The nobleman drew his sword. Holding the blood-stained sword, he loudly announced to the surrounding villagers.

"Mother~~~ woo." That's when Harvey's sister gets the news that her mother has been killed. She threw herself on her mother's body and wept bitterly.

"Who is she?" The nobleman looked at the girl who fell on the corpse and wept, with long blond hair, fair skin, blue eyes and ruddy lips, who was a hundred times more beautiful than his hunchbacked wife, and his heart was full of greed.

"Yes, her daughter." The village elder resignedly pointed to the corpse on the ground and reported it truthfully to the nobles.

"Well, woman, come with me to my manor and be my maid, and I will be exempt from your taxes and your mother's crimes." The nobleman stepped forward and grabbed Harvey's sister's arm, and his hand was as smooth as mutton cream, which made him feel annoyed that he did not know that there was such a beautiful woman in his territory.

"Phew~~~." Harvey's sister was angry and annoyed, and spat a mouthful of saliva in the nobleman's face, which made the nobleman furious.

"Oh, stinking bitch, let me teach you how to behave with the nobility." The nobleman scolded angrily, he slapped Harvey's sister in the face a few times, and knocked Harvey's sister to the ground, looking at the woman whose long skirt was lifted to reveal her plump and white calves, the nobleman's eyes were red, he dragged Harvey's sister to the well in the middle of the village, tore the girl's dress in front of the villagers, and raped/defiled Harvey's sister, and Harvey, who was only about six years old at that time, already had a memory, she looked at her sister's helpless stretching legs next to the well, and her ears were the sister's hissing and cries for help, as well as the beastly gasps of the nobles, the villagers could not bear to bow their heads and remain silent, they did nothing under the authority of the nobles.

That night, Harvey's sister hanged herself from a tree in a tattered dress, and her body hung from the tree and floated all night, and the wind was really strong that day. The next day Harvey begged the village elders to bury his mother and sister, but the village priest said that his sister had died by suicide, and that a woman who had committed suicide in the teachings of Christ could not be buried in the earth, but had to die in the wilderness.

"I must take revenge." Little Harvey, who was only six years old, looked at the mound and said loudly in a childish voice.

"No, don't say that, the nobility is something that people like us can't mess with, Harvey come with me, I'll treat you as family, may God bless us through this difficult time." The young farmer, who admired Harvey's sister Mune, stretched out her hand to Harvey, but Harvey did not move, and she still looked at the grave in front of her and was silent.

"Hey." The peasant sighed and turned away, and Harvey lived in the village until she was about ten years old, but the vengeful anger never quenched in her heart, and the peaceful village life made it impossible for her to be calm, and one morning she packed her bags and left the unknown little village full of joy and suffering.

Many years later, she became the leader of the villains in the town of Masonburg, mobilized all her strength and connections to finally investigate the whereabouts of the nobles who killed her mother and sister, when she got the news, Harvey trembled with excitement, and since then the nobles' families seem to be shrouded in a terrible curse, and the members of the family continue to die due to various accidents, starting from the most distant relatives to the blood relatives of the nobles. The revenge lasted for a whole year or so, and in the last few days the nobles' estates were as dead as graves, and the servants had long since fled.

"Squeak, squeak." The wooden door made a sour tooth sound, and the wind swayed, and the nobleman, who could not get up in the gloomy room, lay on the cedar bed, and for a whole year he watched his relatives die one by one, and this great pain made him unbearable and finally paralyzed on the sickbed, but God did not let him die.

"Well, there's no one. Is there anyone? The nobleman lay on the bed and groaned helplessly. His throat was parched as if it was bursting into flames, the hunger in his stomach made him almost crazy, and his sunken eyes stared blankly at the roof.

"When, when. While. There was a sound of footsteps walking up the wooden ladder. When the door opened, a maid appeared in the doorway. She walked in, picked up a piece of linen and wiped the nobleman's forehead.

"Oh, oh, are you a servant on my estate? That's great. I want to reward you, those abominable servants have looted the contents of my room, and they have taken away my wife's jewelry box, and I am going to the king's royal court to complain and hang them all, and where are my attendants? Seeing the maid appear, the nobleman's body seemed to have regained his strength, and he roared as hard as he could, but the lack of food for several days made him weak, and his words were intermittent.

"Your squires are gone, and it is said that they have joined the ranks of mercenaries because you haven't paid them food and pay for a long time." The maid's voice was magnetic, and her face was very delicate, and the nobleman felt strange when he looked at the beautiful maid in front of him, he did not remember that there was such a beautiful maid in his manor.

"Who are you, I don't remember you." The nobleman asked curiously.

"Do you really remember?" The maid walked a little towards the nobleman, and the light shone through the window on the maid's face, allowing the nobleman to see the beautiful face clearly.

"I seem like I saw it a long time ago, but I can't remember it."

"Let me think for you, many years ago in your territory, a woman who could not pay her taxes was stabbed to death by your own hands, and her daughter was raped/defiled by you at the well in the village." Harvey, the blood dagger, dressed as a maid, looked at the nobleman lying on the bed without pity, her face covered in sweat and dirt, her silver hair thinning and pulling, and her lips were white and bloody because they were dry, but these sins were not enough to satisfy Harvey.

"Well, I, I remembered, but it was to raise money for His Majesty the King, for justice, Henry, who deserves to go to hell, usurper." The nobleman muttered curses in his mouth, and his head shook wildly on the pillow.

"And what about the justice of my mother and sister?" Harvey's eyes widened, she stretched out her strong hand that had been trained, pinched the nobleman's mouth and cheeks, and said with silver teeth.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." The nobleman's pinched saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, he couldn't say a word, just looked at the woman in front of him with his eyes, sweat on his forehead, he already seemed to understand what was going to happen.

"But it doesn't matter, from then on, I understood that justice can only be on my own, so I came to bring death to you and your family." Harvey let go of her hand, and she leaned into the nobleman's ear and said in a cold and cruel tone.

"No, no, you're lying, I, I'm going to kill you, kill you." The aristocrat looked at Harvey with tears in his eyes, he stretched out his thin arms, and his bone-like fingers opened and scratched in midair, as if he wanted to strangle the woman in front of him, and Harvey held his arm and sneered at the weak nobleman.

The priest shook incense and stood in the cemetery in front of the manor, which was the burial place of the noble family in the manor, and now that the owner of the manor was finally at rest, the priest drew a cross on his chest, praying that the curse that had hung over the poor family had finally ended, and a cross was inserted on the grave, and the name of the nobleman was not even engraved on it, and who would be able to live on it once the family was destroyed.

"It's a blessing for this family to have a loyal servant like you." The priest said to the maid who had tended to the descendants of the noble family, and the maid stood outside the cemetery and just watched the priest busy, this was a priest from the town, and when he arrived, the graveyard had been dug up, and according to the maid, the body had been put into the coffin for deep burial, which saved the priest and the gravedigger a lot of trouble.

"All this is the grace of the Lord." The maid said in a magnetic voice.

"May God bless you." The priest nodded, stretched out his hand and made a cross on the maid's forehead, turned and got into his carriage and left, the ruined manor had nothing to be nostalgic about, and the gravedigger hurriedly followed behind, fearing that the terrible curse would be upon him.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~~." A strange sound sounded, and the nobleman woke up from his coma, moaning and trying to flip his body, but found himself in a dark and narrow space, and there seemed to be a lot of small fluffy things moving around him.

"Hmm, what is it?" The nobleman, with the last bit of strength, grabbed a small object that had reached his chest, and he saw a pair of small round red eyes staring at him, and a long, bare tail curled around his arm, which was clearly a mouse.

"No, no, ah, ah, ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~." (To be continued......)
