"Mother......" Chahu ran into the house happily with a large number of things in his hand, "Mother, these are all things that Your Majesty has rewarded. You see, these delicate clothes are all brought from the Eastern Continent, and the colors are so bright! You can make some beautiful clothes for your mother, as well as these fine grain ......."

It was a pity that the people in the house remained unmoved, and did not listen to Chahu's gushing joy. She was busy with her work, making a water bladder out of animal skins, the kind that the Savoy carried with them on their marches.

Just by looking at her back, you can tell that she is a typical Savoyard female. The dress was simple, with a straight back and a thick brown hair tied in three strands, the first two of which hung down on the sides of the cheeks, and the longer one that fell on the back, and the ends of the hair were trimmed very flat, which is the most common attire of the Saviey females. Young females generally trim their bangs very well, but females who become mothers generally do not have bangs. With the exception of colored stones-tooth necklaces and headbands to tie their hair, the females of the Savoyard clan usually do not wear extra hair ornaments so as not to hinder the battle. But they always meticulously comb their hair neatly, which is probably the gentle side of their female as a fighting people that distinguishes them from males. A small dagger is pinned to the outside of her boots, which is usually used to cut the fur of her prey during hunting, or to debone and flesh during barbecues, and is rarely used in real combat. Like all Savoyard warriors, she wears an outfit that allows her to move, ready for battle.

Yes, Chahu's mother was indeed a Savoyard warrior now, and Chahu was a half-blood son of the Savoy and Lepelian. Their mother and son were sent to the Western Continent by the envoy of Nuland, the second largest country in the Eastern Continent, Noro Jingele, ten years ago.

Although the Savoy people moved away from the Eastern Continent more than 1,000 years ago, it is not surprising that a few of them were unfortunately scattered and far from the ethnic group due to the war years at that time. And Chahu's mother's ancestors were one of the few families who were unfortunately scattered by the war and had to stay in the Eastern Continent. The Savoyard who failed to escape from the Eastern Continent in time later almost all became slaves of the Lepelians. Therefore, in that case, it is not surprising that Chahu has a father who is a nobleman of Lepeilian. Because Chahu was born without being expected, his identity has always been very awkward.

Speaking of Chahu, he used to be a very poor child. Although his father is a nobleman, his mother is only a slave, so you can imagine what kind of life he lived in the Eastern Continent. The reason why Chahu has grown into the weak appearance that even his mother can't help but regret is completely due to the lack of food, clothing and bullying when he was a child. However, since they were suddenly sent to the Western Continent by Noro Jingele ten years ago, King Sava has not felt sorry for them. Now not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but they also have a house that can be called a family that completely belongs to their mother and son. Therefore, Chahu cherishes everything that is hard-won, is always afraid of losing, and is cautious everywhere, which is like suffering from paranoia of victimization.

The social structure and family pattern of the Savoyard people are very different from those of the Lepelian people in the Eastern Continent, and there is no difference in status between the sexes. In the Eastern Continent, the family model is basically composed of husband and wife and children, mainly with males as the core of life, and some large families are very large, which also involves a variety of complex subordinate or interest relationships. However, in the western continent, the Savoy people did not have a combination of interests such as marriage, and the gathering and dispersion of partners was entirely based on personal will, and females and males had equal status. Therefore, the mother is the main nucleus of the family until the child reaches adulthood, and the children usually live under the same roof as the mother, except in special circumstances. Although the children can choose to stay when they reach adulthood, there are many Savoyans like Chahu, who are almost 30 years old and still live in the same yard as their mother.

"Mother......" Chahu tried to call again, he knew that his mother was not very happy, and involuntarily lowered his voice.

At this moment, his mother suddenly got up and walked over, snatched the pile of things that Chahu was holding in his hand without saying a word, and threw them all out the door without hesitation. Then, she looked back deeply at Chahu, who was dressed in fancy clothes, and said sharply: "I don't need these flashy things, if you want to make me happy, learn to walk with your head held high, step on the hunt like a warrior to fight, and then hold the warrior's honorarium rewarded by Your Majesty in front of me, and then I will naturally be proud of you." ”

After saying these words, she stopped paying attention to Chahu, and silently returned to the chair where she had just been, and continued to complete her previous work. Chahu sighed to himself, walked to the door with a sad face, picked up the delicate clothes scattered all over the ground and the bag of fine grain, walked lightly back into the house, and stacked them in the corner. Then he raised his head, glanced at his mother's unmoved back with a complicated expression, and then silently withdrew from the room.

Chahu naturally understood in his heart that his mother didn't actually hate him, but was just a little disappointed in him. He vaguely remembered how his mother loved him as a child, but he really couldn't fight like a Savoyard. He was afraid of starvation, of cold, of pain, of death, and even more so that when he died, his aging mother would no longer be with him...... No matter what, he wants to live well.

After coming out of his mother's room, Chahu was about to go to his room, but he noticed a tall figure beside the courtyard wall. He couldn't help but be startled, and quickly took a deep breath, trying to stabilize the frantically beating heart. Then, he quietly hid his trembling fists in his sleeves, and then summoned up the courage to walk over, and asked in a low and cold voice, "You, what are you doing here?"

"Cousin, ......long time no see," the man said in a cold tone, with a proud demeanor, and a heavy dark cloak on his body, it was none other than Nuland's envoy, Noro Gingele, who had just walked out of the palace of the Savoy king.

"The best, the best, never see each other!" Chahu was actually very scared in his heart, but he had to be strong, he could be cowardly at any time, but he really didn't want to show weakness in front of this person.

"Hmph, it looks like you're doing well. Noro said indifferently.

"As long as you leave that cold family, you can naturally live well. "In the past, Chahu would never have dared to speak like this, but now, perhaps relying on the fact that he is the retinue of King Sava, he unconsciously became presumptuous.

Hearing this, Noro couldn't help but sneer: "Yes, don't forget that you also have half of the cold blood. ”

"If I could drain that half-cold blood out of my body and give it back to you, I would have done it a long time ago. In the Eastern Continent, half-bloods are not even as good as slaves. Chahu suppressed his voice and complained indignantly.

"Hmph, don't complain to me, I don't remember ever bullying you. It seems that the people who bullied you when you were a child were your half-brothers, right?" said Noro unhurriedly.

"That's right, you really have nothing to do with me, so what are you here to do today?Is it to thank you for just watching me and my mother when we were being tortured?don't try to take advantage of us......" Chahu seemed to be afraid of being noticed by his mother in the house, and had to continue to suppress his voice, but the resentment in his heart made his tone even more unkind.

"Chahu, if your mother were standing here now, she might be a little proud of your courage...... cough, cough ......" Unlike Chahu, who is sometimes scared and sometimes resentful, Noro is always indifferent and calm, not impatient or impatient.

Hearing this, Chahu was immediately deflated, and the courage he had finally mustered seemed to have leaked out. How could he have almost forgotten what a terrible man Noro Kingele was? The two indifferent glances began to make him walk on thin ice, and Chahu turned his head and ran away, trying to hide in the house and lock the door. I didn't want Noro to be like a fierce cold wind, and quickly went around him from behind, and then, the pale and slender hand pinched Chahu's neck strongly. At that moment, Chahu thought that his neck bone had been crushed by him.

Noro stared at Chahu condescendingly, and said arrogantly and indifferently: "Don't try to be presumptuous in front of me!"

Cha Hu's soul was shattered, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently, as if he was facing a great enemy, and glared at this powerful Lepeilian nobleman with a shocked face, he thought that he was going to die.

However, Norro didn't seem to intend to continue to embarrass him, and quickly let go of the hand around his neck. The light blue eyes were unusually cold and unforgiving, and the ice-pick-like gaze swept over Chahu's frightened face, and then simply turned and left. Coming and going in a hurry, it can be unprepared.

After a long time, Chahu suddenly sat down on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained. He swore that the thing he feared and wanted the most in his life was neither the father who ignored him, nor the brothers who had only bullied him since childhood, but this arrogant and powerful cousin.

While he and his mother were still suffering in the Eastern Continent, this beautiful, noble but unusually indifferent cousin had never appeared within ten paces of him. When Chahu was bullied by those brothers, Noro would not pause even if he passed by. Even if the gaze occasionally passed over them, it was as disdainful as if it were waste, and then left without caring about himself. Chahu would always be frostbitten by Noro's haughty and indifferent eyes, even more so than when his brothers whipped him with their barbed whips. Cha Hu used to be so glad that he had left the Eastern Continent, and he had long forgotten the brothers who had bullied him since childhood, but over the years, he had often been awakened by those two arrogant and indifferent gazes in nightmares. Because, Noro's excessive beauty and nobility always make people feel ashamed of themselves, especially Chahu, who has low self-esteem.

Chahu is twenty-nine years old, and Noro is seven years older than him, and although they are barely cousins in blood, they are actually very different in status and appearance. Noro Kingler is a very powerful figure, even in the Eastern Continent, no one dares to look down on him because of his sick appearance, because he is the current ruler of the powerful Kingele family.

The Jingler family is one of the oldest nobles, and it is also the second largest country in the Eastern Continent - the most powerful family in Nuland, with a large private army, and the identity of the head of the family is second only to the king, but even the king does not dare to offend the Jingler family easily, because the country of Nuland was created with the help of the Jingler family. Of course, the reason why Noro is so powerful is not just because of his status, but because of his ability. Noro was definitely a visionary politician, he was ruthless and aggressive, and he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even sacrificing himself if necessary.

In Chahu's eyes, Noro Kingele is such a ruthless figure. Because, sixteen years ago, the first thing Noro did when he became the head of the Jingler family was to kill all the uncles in the family, including Chahu's biological father.

Therefore, from Chahu's position, he had reason to suspect that this ruthless cousin might have some ill-intentioned purpose, otherwise how could he have been so kind as to send him and his mother to the Western Continent? In the ten years since he came to the Western Continent, Chahu has been worried every day, for fear that one day Noro will suddenly come to the door and force him and his mother to do something bad.

To this day, as he feared, Noro came to the door out of nowhere, and although he left inexplicably after only a few words, it made Chahu feel like a great enemy, and he couldn't live in fear......
