"Hey~"

In the warm morning sun, Ellie got up from the big bed. The energetic girl rubbed her big eyes and put on a black headband for herself. Strange to say, since her father gave her these two black headbands, she has never been too tired to get up in the morning.

Dad is such a great guy.

The girl put on the little leather boots Jenny had made for her, laughed and ran to her father's room. Usually it's Cynroth who comes to wake up Ellie, but today it's a little weird.

But it doesn't matter, even if it's a dad, he's going to be lazy. Come on, Ellie, wake up Daddy's big battle!

Unfortunately, Ellie's idea was not destined to come true.

"Huh? Can't get in? ”

Ellie looked at Robert who was blocking in front of her, and lowered her little head unhappily. The two golden ponytails also lost their spirits and hung down listlessly.

"I'm sorry, Miss, but the lord drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, so now"

After canonizing Bismarck and others as knights of Desmond, the atmosphere of the Autumn Harvest Festival reached its peak. People cheered, took out their wine collections, and sang and danced. Everyone cheered and praised the Lord Almighty, and the young and valiant lord.

Desmond has his own young and energetic lord, and his own strong and loyal knight, even though the conditions are a little more difficult now, but Yiqiē is developing in a good direction, isn't it?

And when Sinloth drank the ale handed by a young girl, the excited lords were even more excited. The empire has been ruled for more than a thousand years, and class has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The old people sighed that such a nobleman who was willing to get close to the commoners was really rare in the world. I am afraid that it is only in the golden age mentioned in the scriptures, when the Savior was still walking on the earth, that such good people will be seen.

So, Sinloth was surrounded by enthusiastic lords, pouring ale after ale. It wasn't until the knights saw that their feudal lord was in a bad situation that Roland was left to block the people who had come forward to toast and snatched the lord back into the castle.

Despite this, Sinloth still doesn't know who he is drinking, and I'm afraid he won't wake up in a short time.

"I see, then Sister Robert, let's go play together." Although it is a pity that I can't wake up my father who is lying in bed in person, the sensible Ellie also knows that it is inappropriate to wake up her father at this time.

"Ah, yes, Miss"

The black-clad maid smiled and agreed, but at this moment, Jenny appeared on the third floor out of breath.

"Robert, hurry up and come here, what is this like with those guys making a mess of the clearing. Damn it, even Lord Bismal got drunk."

"Okay, Mom."

The head maid promised her mother, bowed to the disappointed Ellie and apologized, "Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to play with you." When the old man woke up, he would definitely be angry if he saw that the clearing was still a mess. ”

"Oh"

Compared to playing with yourself, work is really more important. Ellie did not force Robert, but walked towards the castle with Robert's apologetic eyes.

"Miss, it's very lonely to be alone."

Ellie walked alone in the silent castle, the deep castle, slowly engulfing the blonde girl little by little. Her father was still sleeping, and Robert was in trouble, Ellie was not a wayward child, and she didn't want to disturb the adults because of her willfulness.

Therefore, she wandered aimlessly in the castle alone, and I am afraid that even she did not know what she was looking for.

"Ah, isn't this the eldest lady? Why walk alone in the castle, it's very dark here? ”

"Who?!" The preoccupied Ellie was taken aback, but after seeing the face of the visitor, the hanging heart was lowered again, "It's Brother Clown, don't always scare Elly!" ”

"Hahaha, my fault, my fault."

The man chuckled and stepped out of the shadows. The boy whom Ellie calls a clown has dull green hair, and his left eye is strangely obscured by blonde hair, revealing only the bright red right eye. The boy wasn't very old, and he looked like he was about the size of Sinloth. The blood-red right eye looked more and more eerie and strange in this dark castle.

But Ellie knows that the boy in front of her is not a bad person.

The girl wrinkled her nose and smelled a faint smell of blood from the boy's body: "Brother Clown, your injuries are still not healed, why don't you stay in bed properly." ”

"This little injury, it's all healed."

This young man was none other than the villager who had reported to Sinloth that day. After the tragic bloody battle in the white mist, he was lucky enough to escape with his life again. But his home had been burned down, and he really had nowhere to go. Sinloth felt a little guilty about him, so he left him in the castle and let him recuperate in peace.

It's just that for some reason, after looking at him a few times, Sinloth kept calling him a clown, and many times, everyone called him that. Even the polite Ellie is the same, as for his real name, no one cares.

"It's not a small injury! Your eyes."

"Ah, my eyes, that one doesn't matter," the young man subconsciously stroked his left eye, "It's just one eye, and it's already a lot of money to kill a few Normans with this life." ”

"Brother Clown"

"Aha, Miss, don't talk about these sad things. How did you end up in the castle today, this is not for you. ”

Indeed, as the clown said, the depths of the castle are not suitable for a lady like Ellie in a gorgeous dress. Jenny is a capable and industrious person, but she and Robert are the only two of them, and they are really alone. Desmond Castle is on the small side of the Counts' Castle, but even so, it is not something that just two maids can take care of.

Therefore, Jenny chose some commonly used rooms for cleaning. As for the ones in the depths of the castle, we have to leave it to a later date. Desmond Castle is so unpopular, the depths of the castle are infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants, but there is definitely no shortage of cobwebs and some unclean things. Usually no one comes here at all, and only clowns who have been traumatized by Yan zhòng in their hearts like to come to this kind of place.

The dark environment is just right for the Joker's dark heart.

"Ah, this, that" Ellie wanted to prevaricate, but honestly, she really couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

Seeing Ellie's cute appearance, the clown smiled: "Are you doing a big adventure in the castle?" ”

"Not really! Ellie is not a child again! ”

"Mmmm~ The eldest lady is not a child anymore, the eldest lady is already eight years old."

"Humph!" Ellie puffed out her face and turned her head away from him.

"It's so cute, if you don't die" The green-haired teenager has deep eyes, innocent and cute Ellie, who can always make people happy, and for the clown, it always reminds people of some bad memories.

The more beautiful and pure it is, the more painful it will be when it is destroyed.

The clown was in no mood to continue the conversation for a moment, and said perfunctorily: "Miss, hurry up." If you're running around all the time, Lord Sinloth will be bothered too. ”

"Daddy won't, Dad is still sleeping in bed."

"It's so rare, it's so late. Would someone as diligent as Lord Sinloth also lie in bed? ”

Thanks to the blessings of those knights who like to work out in the martial arts arena in the morning, the word lazy sleep has nothing to do with Xinlos at all. Xinluos, who gets up early every day, may be a hard-working and diligent politician in the eyes of the clown.

"Yesterday at the Autumn Harvest Festival, Dad canonized Uncle Bismalko and them. There were many, many people outside, and the whole of Desmond seemed to have come, drinking and dancing together, and having a good time. ”

"Knight's canonization? That's a big deal, I slept in the castle yesterday and it's a shame I didn't see it. Although he said that it was a pity, the clown's pale face did not mean any pity at all.

He didn't seem to care about those things.

However, when it comes to yesterday's knight canonization, a thought also rises in Ellie's little heart. The thought wasn't strong at first, but when Ellie looked at the Joker's emotionless blood-red right eye, somehow blurted it out.

"Brother Clown, you can be my knight."

"Huh? Why do you suddenly say such a thing? ”

Female nobles also have the right to canonize knights, but the canonization of knights, even for dukes, must be carefully considered. It is not simply a consideration in the fiefdom, but more often, it is the meaning of the female nobles to canonize the knights. Under normal circumstances, the first knight of a female nobility is only one possibility if it is not their father and brother.

Their a**, or rather, husband.

After getting along with Sinloth these days, the Joker still knows a little about Lord Desmond, who is not very old, but he is a complete uncle-level daughter. If he dares to touch his daughter, he will definitely chop it into pieces and throw it into the North Sea to feed the fish.

With so many people, there is nothing that dares to sneak attack the Normans.

Then again, Ellie is only eight years old this year, isn't it too early to start thinking about these things now? There should be something hidden in it.

"Because I saw my father canonize a knight yesterday, I think it's so handsome, and Ellie really wants to have her own knight."

And so it was.

The clown sighed lightly in his heart, and wanted to refuse, the first knight of the noblewoman must not be so casual. What's more, he can't even be angry, and when he encounters the Normans, he will only be the first to run away, how can such a cowardly self protect others? But seeing Ellie's words full of anticipation and the words of rejection in her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

This child's smile is so much to be remembered forever.

Ling, I can't protect you. But since Lord Sinloth has given me a second life, let's use it to protect Ellie.

Thinking so, the clown knelt on one knee and buried his head deeply: "In that case, then I will be the knight of the eldest lady from now on." ”

Seeing that the clown agreed, Ellie patted her fleshy little hand and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"By the way, Miss, if you can. Will you please call me by my name in the future? ”

"Name?"

"Well, my name is Kempareira."

Ellie nodded her little head vigorously, and the two small whips shook one after another: "Ellie remember, Brother Clown." ”
