Chapter 50: The Wicked Guest Comes to the Door
"It's still Desmond's wind."
The maid in the black dress stood on top of the castle and looked into the distance. The weather has gradually turned colder, and the blow on the cheeks makes people faintly painful. But the maid didn't seem to feel the chill at all, and was just thinking about her own thoughts.
Thanks to Sinlos taking all the knights, her workload has been greatly reduced, so she can have such a comfortable leisure time.
Thirty-year-old Roland always said that he was old, and when others heard it, they would only laugh at it. But Robert, who has also been wandering for many years, understands his mood very well. The life of a mercenary is simple and exciting, and it has nothing to do with glory, and he uses the sword and battle axe in his hand to win gold and bloody gold coins for himself. At first, it was fine, but after a long time, the guilt of casually burying the lives of others will be like a bone appendage, and it will be wrapped around my heart.
Some people are numb and accustomed to it; Some people are confused and begin to think about the meaning of their lives; Some people got tired of it, put down the butcher knife, and returned to their hometown with scars all over their bodies.
Just like Roland and himself.
Robert gathered the wind-blown emanation, his eyes distant. This time she was a little tired, and she returned to her troubled hometown, and she wanted to make a slight correction before continuing her journey.
However, there was a slight surprise in the plan.
Her mother, who she hadn't seen for many years, found a job as a maid for her, and I don't know what kind of mood she was in at the time. She has always been disgusted with restraint, but she will agree.
Probably because of my mother's earnest gaze, I can't refuse. She should understand what she meant by doing so. But perhaps in her opinion, it is better to become a noble maid than to be a wandering mercenary, wandering all day long, and dying in a foreign land at some point.
Even if it's sacrificing something precious.
Baron Desmond's face was surprisingly handsome, he looked so young, he was a teenager. He never mentioned his age. But in Robert's experience, most of them are underage. At such an age, he has obtained such a large fiefdom, and he is also a young hero. There was always a faint pride in Desmond's baron, but he was gentle to others. Although sometimes a little willful, it gives people more of a childlike cuteness. For example, if you have to change the tradition, you have to change the meal twice a day to three times a day.
Compared to the nobles who have seen before with eyes above the top, it is indeed much better. The mother's choice is not entirely unreasonable.
If he has to, should he take his head off?
It's a pity that he never gave her this opportunity. His gaze was always only on Miss Fanzhuo.
It's a little unwilling. But Ellie's words are really clingy and good.
The maid thought so, but the corners of her mouth slightly curved. It's not a fake smile like usual, but a genuine joy. In the face of the innocent and lovely Ellie, the maid always subconsciously reined in herself. The real world is too terrifying, although as the eldest daughter of the Fanzhuo family, she will have to come into contact with that dark aristocratic world sooner or later. But it's always good to be a day late.
But the Lord Almighty seemed unwilling to see the maid lazy, on that distant horizon. Several strangely dressed figures are slowly approaching. At such a distance, the maid with excellent eyesight still spotted them in an instant.
The curved lip line straightened in an instant.
"It's just this time, and it has to be solved before the eldest lady wakes up in the afternoon."
"This kind of life is really comfortable." Anaise added herself a cup of hot water, and the weather had begun to turn cold, such an afternoon. After the inspection, it was very comfortable to be able to lean on the fireplace and bask in the sun.
"That's true."
"It's not bad to live like this, but I still miss the days when I fought with Arian Hurd." Ennaya also added a cup of hot water for herself, and Baron Fanzhuo took all the barons this time, and the garrison of the territory could only rely on them. When he came to Desmond, he was given such a heavy responsibility. While the three of them felt honored, they also felt pressure.
Because of this, the three of them did not dare to drink, but just drank some hot water to keep warm.
"Well, you say, Lord Arian Hurd, do you have any thoughts about Lord Fanzhuo?"
"Huh?"
"Poof!"
The three have known each other for a long time, so they naturally know each other's temperament. Arian Heard looked young, but he was in his twenties. At this age, for women in this era, it is actually extremely dangerous. If someone else says this, but it comes from the mouth of the most calm Dubarry, then it is very interesting.
Aynes, the youngest and most uncontrollable, asked, "Du Barry, why did you say that all of a sudden, did you hear any news?" ”
"No, it's just a little speculation."
Ennaiya squeezed to Du Barry's side, hooked her right hand on her shoulder, and smiled: "You must know something, hurry up and get it from the truth." ”
"That's it, say it quickly."
Du Barry naturally couldn't twist the two friends, and after a while of trouble with the two, she truthfully said her thoughts.
"Lord Fanzhuo proposed to Lord Arian Hurd before, although the Lord never expressed his position, but in the end, didn't she also move Lord Fanzhuo? Just beat Jeremiah and them. ”
Anaise pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "What, that's the reason?" Anyway, it was also Lord Fanzhuo who intended to recruit Lord Arian Hurd, so how could she do something to Lord Fanzhuo? ”
"No, no, it's more than that. When you were on patrol the other day, did you notice that Arian Heard had been watching the children in those villages? Once deliberately dismounted and touched a girl's head? ”
"Little children?" Enaia struggled to recall, and found that it really seemed to be as Du Barry had said. "I didn't think it was when you didn't say it, but now that I think about it, Lord Arian Hurd's behavior in the past few days seems to be really abnormal."
"If you like children, it's nothing, right? Those kids are really cute. ”
"Have you ever seen Lord Arian Heard so gentle before? Adults have always been strong and cold, and they will never show weakness. Why did he become more and more feminine after arriving in Desmond? ”
"That's what you say"
"Whew"
The more the three of them talked, the more frustrated they became, and the three of them admired Arian Heard's strength and pursuit of chivalry, so they followed her all along. Now that his idol may have a lover, he should have been happy for her, but the three of them were not happy at all.
"Lord Fanzhuo is not married. He is good-looking, has a good temper, and is so young, if you marry him, it doesn't seem to be anything."
"It's true that the Baroness was never mentioned, but in that case, what about the eldest lady?"
Du Barry rubbed her temples, she was also curious about this aspect. But she instinctively felt that the topic should not continue. The stereotypical girl added some hot water to herself, and then said, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. Let's rest a little longer, and then go out on patrol again. This time, Ennaiya, you stay, no problem, right? ”
"Hmm."
"So"
Before Du Barry could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a violent and rough knock on the door.
"Hey, there's anyone in there. Open the door, we came over to negotiate as agreed! ”
"We came as promised. So, what about the Ditohats? Or are you the lord of Desmond? ”
The three of them stood on top of the castle, looking at the villains outside the castle gates, their faces puzzled.
Du Barry drew her long sword and looked at the four people in front of her without saying a word. It's a strange combination, clearly three Norman men with horned helmets and tomahawks, and a red-haired girl. But it was clear that it was the girl who was in charge. Judging by their dress, there is no doubt that they should be Normans. In this cold weather, the girl's clothes were still unusually cool. The generously exposed snow shoulders and the strange black tattoos add a bit of wild charm to her.
Du Barry acted steadily, and secretly speculated in her heart that the people in front of her were obviously fearless, and maybe they really came to negotiate with the lord. After all, Desmond and Norman have long been mortal enemies. With this alone, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to set foot on the land of Desmond.
"Your Excellency went out, and Lord Ditohart went with him. If you have any questions, please tell me directly. When the adults come back, I'll tell them anyway. ”
Desmond is not too far from Kildel, but they really don't know how long Sinloth will stay when they leave this time. After all, this time the matter is not big, and it is not small. A careless handling can even really cause a full-blown contradiction between the Church and the Empire.
The red-haired girl shook her hair impatiently when she heard Du Barry's answer, and her long ponytail also rippled: "Obviously you said it yourself, negotiate at Desmond Castle." We've already given enough sincerity, what else do you want to do? Are we really good bullies when we Vikings?! ”
Vikings?
Not the words of the Normans, then
Wait, Vikings!
Hearing the girl claim to be a Viking, Durbarly's heart instantly flashed through a thousand thoughts, the Normans were different from the Vikings. Although both are northerners to Desmond. They are all heinous bastards who deserve to go to hell ten thousand times.
However, the Normans were robbers, and they knew that they could not fish with all their might. Even if you kill livestock and eat meat, you will wait until the cattle and sheep are fat and strong. The Vikings, however, were a bunch of crazy people.
A bunch of complete murderers.
Dubari didn't know about Sinloth's plan, but her hatred for the Vikings made her pay attention immediately. Even if they were really found by Lord Fanzhuo, but the current situation of the castle was extremely empty, I should be cautious, and I would not blame myself if I wanted to come to Lord Fanzhuo.
"Vikings, get out of here now. You are not welcome in Desmond! ”
"Tsk, it's still going to be like this." The girl took a sip, and her whole body was angry. Vermilion's anger instantly enveloped her whole body, and the girl stepped out, and the surging force exploded a small crater on the ground. The girl took advantage of this great momentum and flew towards the walls of Desmond.
Rumble!
Wrapped in scarlet furious boots, he stomped fiercely on the ancient city wall, leaving a deep footprint. The girl took advantage of this reaction force to dodge and landed firmly in front of Du Barry.
"What?" Du Barry was shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"What if I say, I'm not leaving?"
