Chapter Seventy-Two: Back to the Birdcage
readx;
As Coth sat in the carriage, she carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage and stole a glimpse of the outside world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe pouring rain and dark clouds turned the whole world into a darkness, and there was a blur in the distance, and even the sound was only the sound of rain. If you take off all your clothes and stand in such a world, you will definitely be able to have the most intimate contact with nature. Such a picture of contact appeared in Kesi's mind, and just thinking about it, she felt a chill in her body, and couldn't help but sneeze.
Outside the carriage was a troop of cavalry from the Kingdom of Salins escorting Koth, this group of cavalry numbered about two hundred, some of them carrying the white lion banner of Prince Bradley, all of them had only one task, which was to send Miss Christine of the Duchy of Dramain to Mallot, and try to keep her from being disturbed.
There was no one to be seen in the field except for the cavalry escort, and the occasional small village was covered in a downpour, and no villagers appeared in Koss's field of vision.
Kosi closed the curtains, and she was the only one in the carriage, dressed in the clothes of a noble woman, and she combed her hair neatly, and on her naturally slightly curly dark brown hair was a round headband inlaid with emeralds, which contrasted with her pale green eyes, so that the cavalrymen could not help but look at the beautiful duke's daughter a few more times. Unfortunately, this kind of dress is not what Kesi wants, after she was rescued by the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Salins, she was dressed and decorated by a group of maids, and then she was taken to a place where she continued to be under house arrest, until this day her next destination was determined - the place where she tried her best to escape, Mallot, the capital of the Kingdom of Salins.
"Miss Christine, if you're feeling cold, I can ask my men to bring out our spare blankets," said a female knight with short pink hair, pulling back the curtain at the front of the carriage and stretching half of her body into the carriage, "If we feel hungry, we can also find a nearby village or town to rest, after all, we have been walking for three days and three nights." ”
Kesi waved her right hand and smiled reluctantly, "No need, please move on." ”
The knightess, who had big eyes, eyebrows like two arrows, and made her hair shiny with hair-styled oil, was called Gadia, and if she guessed correctly, she was probably the confidant of the eldest prince Bradley. This female knight is not very old, I heard that she is only twenty-five years old, but she has been with Bradley for many years, and is Bradley's right and left hand, so the important task of escorting Kesi will be entrusted to her. is also because Gadia is also a woman, many inconvenient places will also be taken care of, but Kesi has no way to be friends with the other party, because the other party's personality is cold and arrogant, and there is no feminine gentleness at all.
Thinking of this, Kesi suddenly remembered the Winter Kingdom Ice Princess Margaret that she had seen in the Republic of Marvil. As soon as the graceful and delicate woman shed tears, it broke the hearts of all the men in the execution ground, and even Field, who had never been close to women, stared at Magalet!
"Hmph, are all men like women with plump bodies?" Kesi looked at her breasts, although she couldn't say that she was in poor shape, but she was almost like an ordinary peasant girl, except for being a little thinner and a little petite and cute, there was no place that could compare to the Ice Princess of the Winter Kingdom.
Gadia, who heard Kesi talking to herself, probed in again, but Kesi immediately pretended to look at the rain outside the window, and the female knight didn't ask much.
Alas, where are Fed and the rest of the friends now? The Potato Mercenaries don't know what is going on? Keth frowns at the thought of Fed and the Potato Mercenaries, and opens her cherry mouth slightly, trying to say something to herself, but she can't. She didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse that she was now rescued by another prince, she just wanted to be able to return to Fed and the other mercenary partners one day, continue to be a small military supervisor, and live the life of a mercenary. It was not what he wanted to marry a prince, but now he can't help himself.
A month ago, Keth was living under Amme's house arrest, but one day, some agents rushed into the courtyard where she was under house arrest and killed most of the maids and guards who were guarding there, leaving only one who seemed to be leading the way for the spies. Sadly, the maid who gave the news to the agents did not receive any reward, and was left with a knife in her throat.
Since that day, Koth has been stuffed into the carriage by these men, and the driver of the carriage was not Gadia, but her living situation has not changed much. It didn't take long for Kesi to be sent to another quiet and beautiful place, but this time it was no longer Amsol, but Bradley, who claimed to be the Grand Prince of the Kingdom of Sarins.
On that day, Keth was still trying to find a way to escape from this poorly guarded place, but Bradley, who was tough and heroic, appeared in front of her, and claimed to send her back to Mallote to complete her unfulfilled engagement.
Bradley was friendly to Kleth, he said that he would protect Kleth, and as for Apparent being imprisoned by his brother Amsul, the eldest prince did not say much, he just told Clarity that he hoped that Clare would not talk about it in public, and Bradley would not admit that it was Amsol who caught Apparent. The eldest prince also told Koth that he would claim that he had found the daughter of Archduke Webster in the west of the kingdom of Salins, and that the others would not pursue what happened to Koth in the past, and that he would take care of the Ansoona side, and that everything would be restored to the original state.
But Greif's fate is uncertain, and he has lost his freedom again, which is not the way he wants.
"You guys, go see if there's an enemy over there?" Gardia's voice came from outside the carriage, and Kesi was startled, she immediately opened the curtains, and sure enough, on the side of the mountain not far away, some people appeared. All the cavalry escorting Kesi quickly drew their weapons and looked at the troops that appeared in the distance.
"Miss Christine, please rest assured that it is our duty to protect you. When Gadia had finished speaking to Koth, she let another cavalryman take her place and left the carriage, as if she had led her troops towards the suspicious centaurs.
The short crossbow that Kesi carried with her in the Potato Mercenary Regiment had already been confiscated by Amsul, but Bradley personally gave Kesi a short steel dagger, giving the duchess's daughter a sense of security. Kesi slowly pulled the steel dagger from her waist, and she remembered the Orion Caroche who had said that she would protect herself—and sure enough, she still had to protect herself, if she couldn't protect herself, let alone freedom!
The sound of the wheels rolling outside was drowned out by the rain, and Kosi could faintly hear shouts in the distance, and she clutched the steel dagger in both hands, waiting for the situation to unfold. It was a few dozen minutes before the curtain was lifted in front of the carriage, and Kosi stared ahead, not lowering her dagger until she saw Gadia's rosy hair.
"Sure enough, there are some hairy thieves, and now there are many problems in the central part of the Kingdom of Salins, and the hundreds of bandits are brave enough to attack people passing by at will," Gadia had some blood stains on her face, which was almost the same color as her hair after being washed away by the rain, and to Kesi's surprise, Gadia's hair did not deform in the slightest, "But we are well-trained soldiers, so please rest assured Miss Christine, we will soon be able to reach the capital Mallote safely." ”
Koth nodded, and she gently inserted the steel dagger back into its cowhide holster. Mallote was not far away, and if nothing else, he would surely be thrown back into that cold palace. She remembered the man who had helped her escape from Mallot, the man named Rost, and some of his companions. Until now, Kesi didn't know why this middle-aged man would help him, he just said that this was what he should do, could it be that he had been favored by his father? No, he might just be messing up the kingdom of Salins, and he must be wary of him when he goes back this time.
