Because of the presence of the first mate, little Billy has a rare change in his opinion of these sailors. In his eyes, these filthy guys are not so unbearable. At the very least, their people are good. It won't be like those glamorous nobles in King's Landing, who will fall into trouble like this.

Of course, this may also be because these guys don't know much about themselves. Whatever the reason, though, he felt more comfortable staying here than staying in that cage in King's Landing. Maybe it's really the so-called freedom at work.

With that in mind, Billy poured two more sips of honey wine. And because I drank too quickly, it was also the reason for drinking for the first time. He immediately had a hot heartburn sensation. As soon as this feeling spread, it immediately went straight from his heart to his brain, making his entire brain involuntarily feel dizzy.

But not to mention, although it is also a feeling of dizziness, this feeling is much, much better than the previous seasickness. At the very least, the feeling of disgust has weakened a lot. It's just that his mind is getting more and more groggy and always makes Billy want to sleep.

There is nothing good about the smell of the sea, after all, it is not a vacation, and little Billy does not have the idea of enjoying the view of the sea at all. So as soon as he turned around, he planned to go back to his cabin and get a good night's sleep. And just as he got into the cabin, he seemed to see a familiar figure in a trance. This figure made him a little stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly.

"How could there be such a coincidence!" he muttered, and he had already closed his hatch. And just as he closed the hatch, in another cabin. Fang Cai, dressed as a sailor, let out a sigh of relief, and then said to Earl Field, who was sitting across from him.

"Looks like it's safe. Hell, didn't this little ghost go out to breathe? Why did he come back so soon!"

"Does he recognize you?" asked Field, slowly collecting his fingers, and only then raised his head to his special guard in his spare time.

"No, Your Excellency. I just changed my clothes. And I deliberately avoided his gaze, so I think he thought he was dazzled at best. ”

"Really?" Blowing his fingernails, Field dropped the file in his hand and smiled with a smile that you would never guess what he really meant. "I think I need to warn you, Your Excellency. You took my favor and agreed to my terms. Then I have the qualifications to ask you to complete the task I have given you to the fullest extent. If something is wrong with you, something has gone wrong with me. I guess you know what I'm going to do to you!"

"Yes, Your Excellency. I know!" nodded nervously, and the knight, disguised as a sailor, had already agreed in quick succession. "I promise, everything will go as you planned. There won't be any mistakes. I promise!"

"It's good that you have that kind of faith. A faint glance at the guard, and Field smiled. "Tell me, how are I going to prepare for what I told you, and when is the time to do it?"

"I'm pretty much ready. With a slight swallow, the guard began to speak as smoothly as he could. "The guards need to take turns to guard Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and the food and water are also prepared by the people on duty that day. I'm in charge of all of this in the evening of three days, so that night is the time for you to do it. It's just that I don't understand, Your Excellency. Is it really necessary to use such a shoddy means as poison with your force?"

"Despicable, my knight, do you think this is despicable? and what is this betrayal of yours? This is a game in aristocratic circles. In such a game, if you can't even accept such a method, then I suggest you go to the monastery. Maybe the environment there will be more suitable for a pure person like you!"

The word purity is deliberately accentuated, and the meaning of Field's words becomes very obvious. In the face of such an attitude from him, the knight, who was a traitor, was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and said in a loud voice.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. It's my fault. I promise, there won't be a next time!"

"It's better that there won't be a next time. Otherwise, even if you are a branch of the family, I will not be polite to you. After a final warning, Field changed his face and explained to him in a slow and coherent manner. "You don't have to worry too much. Regardless, the eldest princess is a member of the imperial royal family. In the millennium from the beginning of the empire to the present, there has been no record of the imperial family being assassinated. I'm not going to set this precedent either. The poison given to you will only weaken our princess a little. You don't have to worry about his life, because I don't want a dead woman either. ”

The guard, who knew something about what had happened to the Earl, wisely shut his mouth when he heard this. For him, since he has already decided to embark on such a path. Then he obviously has no room for regret. So, instead of squandering your useless compassion here, it's better to do what you're supposed to do, what is good for you.

The people with evil intentions have secretly reached an agreement and are their prey. Neither the eldest princess, Oshvia, nor the little Billy, the child, knew all this. And in this case, time passed quickly, until the evening three days later.

After several days of sailing, the Westwind Scream has entered the sea route known as the Northern Sea Passage. The monsoon winds and currents from south to north at the turn of spring and summer drove the massive three-masted galleon at an almost galloping speed. And because of this high-speed forward state, the whole ship is also rare to stabilize a little.

This is a good thing for little Billy, so he didn't have a particularly good appetite in the past, so he took advantage of this free time to enjoy a hearty dinner with his mother.

Fresh sea fish is fried to a particularly tender tenderness. The soup made with fish bones and shellfish is also mellow and can be swallowed by the tongue. And that's not all, the point is that the dessert after dinner is fresh fruit. This kind of fruit that uses spells to keep it fresh is undoubtedly very rare in a sailboat that sails on the sea. Even as little Billy, he smiled with satisfaction when he enjoyed the sweetness of the fruit.

He hadn't had such an appetite for a long time, and looking at his appetite, Osimvia also had a relieved smile on her face.

"It's rare that you have that kind of appetite. Do you want to eat more? Don't let yourself go hungry now that you're growing up. ”

"I've eaten a lot, mother. Swallowing the last part of an apple with all his might, little Billy said as he threw down the pit and rolled his eyes at his mother. "Even though I'm growing up, I've already eaten about two people's meals. If you continue to eat like this, you will not grow your body, but you will grow fat. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. You know, I've always wanted you to gain a little more weight. Because I think you'll look even cuter that way. ”

Looking at him with a smirking eye, Osynvia said to him with one hand on her cheek. And just when little Billy rolled his eyes and subconsciously wanted to refute, he saw his mother touch the wine glass in front of him directly on the table as if he was accidental.

At first, he thought it was his mother's reaction to drinking too much. However, having never seen such a situation before, he quickly dismissed such an idea. Because even if she drank too much, her mother would not make such a gaffe so suddenly. This is completely inconsistent with her previous style. So subconsciously, he couldn't help but ask his mother.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly ......?"

"I don't know, I feel like I don't have the strength in my hands and feet. As if the strength supporting her body had completely dissipated, Osimvia replied as she sat down in her chair and spoke to her son.

Hearing this answer, little Billy's face immediately changed. He knew his mother's physical condition, and she had always been healthy, and it was impossible for her to become like this at this time. If there is a possibility, then it can only be said that she was poisoned.

As an aristocrat, little Billy knows a lot about poison. Because there is a very deep connection between the nobles and poison. Even if he had never experienced these things, he was perfectly capable of making such a judgment under such circumstances.

And after receiving this judgment, he immediately picked up the weapon placed beside him and asked his mother with a nervous expression.

"Was someone poisoned? in the wine? How is that possible. Our food is prepared by the guards themselves, how could they betray us. ”

"Of course possible, as long as there are enough benefits. Anyone can commit such a thing as betrayal. ”

Little Billy is not answered by his mother, but by a man who suddenly pushes the door in. And looking at this guy who suddenly came in, little Billy was startled, and then shouted in disbelief.

"Blackthorn, it's you? How could you be on this ship? You bought off the guards and poisoned my mother? What the hell are you trying to do?"
