The sudden cold air swept across the central and eastern parts of the continent from north to south, and Charles, who attended the awards ceremony, found that the temperature had dropped a lot as soon as he came out of the banquet hall, so he took out the scarf given to him by Aunt Marcy and lent it to Melidie, and then took out the scarf that Elizabeth had woven for him and wrapped it around Diana one by one.

Charles said worriedly: "Suddenly the temperature has dropped, and the victims of the Northland fleeing the famine are having a hard time. ”

Diana, who was beside him, said: "Linda and Auston started to collect the victims with food at the end of last year, and the overall situation must not be too bad. ”

Charles just said "um" and didn't speak, the actual situation is not so optimistic, and he doesn't want to talk about the darkness within some nobles.

Many aristocrats did things in the disaster year that Diana could not have imagined, and Charles was stunned when he heard his father talk about it before.

During the calamity, nobles with a large number of slaves would remove the magical shackles from their slaves after the autumn harvest and let them disperse on their own.

This is not the kindness of those slave owners, but to reduce food consumption.

By the time the second year was over, the nobles were able to recruit new slaves, for example by raising the price of food.

These freedmen, who have been bankrupted by the price of food that has risen by an unknown number of times, are much better than the "old" slaves.

After a winter of "survival of the fittest", the remaining slaves are high-quality slaves, and there will naturally be a slave hunting team to "recycle" them.

After such a circle, the slaves in the hands of the nobility completed the "replacement".

From the beginning, Charles suspected that Mordred's parents had become slaves in this way, and it was even possible that her parents had sold her for food.

In order for slaves to reproduce, slave owners would take into account the gender balance among slaves. Compared with those girls who are already sensible and will resist, it is more convenient to buy back the ignorant little girls and raise them as slave fertility machines, and maybe they can be used as another slave when they grow up.

In the latter case, it is another way of playing among the nobles.

Although Charles's family did not keep slaves, his neighbor, the Marquis of Hermanlik, had many of them.

Diana arrived at Charles and was silent, thinking of the mention of food in the conversation just now, thinking that he was upset because of something.

So Diana took Charles' hand and said, "That Conradin ......"

At this time, Meliti, who was walking behind the two and eating frozen lemons, stretched out her hand and patted Charles's shoulder and said, "Big brother, this matter is not good for me, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have let that jellyfish head meet Nana." ”

Charles shook his head and said, "I haven't taken that guy to heart yet." ”

To trace this matter back to the source, it is Charles's own trouble.

Many things in the world are interlinked, at the beginning, Charles asked Artoria to take her to the Elven Tree Sea to recuperate because Diana often stayed up late, and then the playful Melidi went with her on a boat, and then Jenny's men decided to kidnap Melidie after learning of Meliti's whereabouts, and then Diana killed the kidnappers with a disarming spell and the damaged ship rushed to the beach to avoid danger, and the place where they landed was near the royal capital of the Hohen Kingdom, Stauffen.

Because Melidi was a member of the royal family, the officials of Stauffen City took them to the royal capital to rest for a while, and later the crown prince Conradin, who came to pay his respects on behalf of the king, met Diana, and then he fell in love with Diana at first sight.

Diana and Melidi never mentioned it to Charles, but Artoria was there at the time, so Charles knew about it early on, and knew more.

It's just that Charles didn't have the energy to care about that Conradin at that time, so he let it go first.

At the end of last year, Charles and Diana became a couple.

At that time, Charles didn't want to distract himself from the energy to pay attention to Conradin, he had too many things to do, but Conradin ran into his own head.

Due to the fact that the relationship between the Kingdom of Hohen and the Elven Court has always been good since the founding of the Kingdom, Charles did not want to make things too difficult for Queen Victoria at first.

So he asked Ah Fu to pass a word that everyone would take a step back for the sake of Frederick I, the founding king of the Hohen Kingdom, and his ancestors, as long as Conradin no longer pursued Diana, Charles exchanged all the food delivery coupons in Conradin's hand, and the grain was directly brought to Staufen City to him.

As a result, Ah Fu ate the closed door.

Charles, who learned of this, laughed three times, and then stopped paying attention to Conradin, and the other party was embarrassed, so he had to suffer next.

Finding that Diana's hand holding her paw was a little hard, Charles smiled and said to her: "Don't worry about this, it's good that he doesn't buy so many food pick-up coupons, and now he has so many pick-up coupons in his hand, it's like holding the same weight of 'Charles's conscience', and he will have to bear it when the time comes." ”

But Diana still didn't let go, she asked, "So much food......"

As soon as she said this, Diana was suddenly stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, her face turned into a ghostly expression, and she stared at Charles next to her in disbelief.

Charles smiled and asked, "You got it in mind?"

It took a while for Diana to come back to her senses, and she said, "The Wyvern Riding Face can still turn the tables, but you are the Dragon Riding Face." ”

"How big did you start playing?"

Charles shrugged his shoulders and said, "He did it himself." I was only there to help the disaster, but who made him run into his head without any means?"

"Originally, I didn't want to do it at all, I just let him get the food last, but someone helped me do it. ”

Diana shook her head and sighed, "It's really unlucky for him to meet you, now he's really going to bleed in the arteries." ”

"Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles. Charles shook his head in the same way, "But he doesn't know anything about the forces in this society, and it is inevitable that he will fail in the end." ”

Melidi listened quietly, and then asked, "What are you two doing?" Charles, how are you going to cut off that jellyfish's head?"

"Nothing. "It's just to help him lose weight in his purse." ”

Meliti said: "That's a good feeling, I asked the family to inquire before, that jellyfish head is very rich, it's right to cut more." ”

Charles smiled and said, "It's already February, and it's not far from the time to close the net." ”

It's just a pity that Charles is a bit of a pity, it would be nice if he could go back to the lively scene next, but according to the itinerary, he will return to the 168th Brigade after the awards ceremony.

In the coming days, the 168th Brigade will be re-equipped and reorganized as an experimental unit, and Charles will be involved in a dual capacity.
