Julian stood at the gate of the mansion and looked into the distance.

"When will Christine arrive?" asked Julian to Sebas.

"In about another hour or two. ”

"How about half an hour?"

"It's really hard to be strong. ”

Julian sincerely hoped for Christine's arrival, and Julian had always seen Christine in his dreams these days. The plump jade body and the silky skin made him immersed in it, unwilling to wake up from his dream.

Christine's lewd body seems to have been born to please men, which haunts Julian.

Julian had gathered enough energy for this day.

It's just that at dusk, the sun is about to set, and the remnants of the sky have gradually dissipated, and Christine's carriage still hasn't arrived.

Julian frowned slightly, Christine's carriage should have arrived at this moment.

He then asked the servant who had told the news in advance, "Is it raining on the road?"

"The sky is hurrying, there is not a single cloud. The servant replied.

Confused, Julian forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and could only comfort him that perhaps the wheels of the carriage on the road were broken, so he stayed out for the night tonight.

The next day, the sky was temporarily gray, and it had not yet been lit up.

Yurian was uneasy all night, and he became more and more uneasy, and he commanded Fahan: "Go and meet Christine, and bring her to my mansion." ”

At dusk, Fahan returned.

Fahan did not have the banner or carriage of Azuchi behind him, and it was clear that Christine did not return with her.

"Didn't you find anyone?"

Julian frowned slightly.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Fahan's resolute face, and instead of replying, he ordered his subordinates to detain a servant.

"Who is this?"

"He was a servant accompanying Lady Christine's convoy, and I only found him. ”

The ominous omen became a reality, and Julian asked hoarsely, "What happened?" ”

"We ......." The servant was pale and could not make eye contact with Julian.

"Raise your head and tell the truth. ”

Julian scolded, he didn't have time to waste time with this coward.

The servant wiped his tears and reported to Julian one by one.

It turned out that on the way to the imperial capital in Christine's carriage yesterday, the wheels of the carriage suddenly broke.

"It was as if someone had deliberately sabotaged it. The servant said, recalling the crack in the broken shaft of the wheel.

The axle was broken and it was difficult to move forward for a while, although the distance was not far, but Christine could not be allowed to walk or ride a horse (Christine wore a skirt), and if she returned to the imperial capital in such an ungraceful way, it would inevitably damage the prestige of the McCarvey family.

So the team decided to spend the night outside tonight, waiting for the axle to be repaired and leaving tomorrow.

When night fell, everyone sat around the campfire to keep warm.

It was the carriage of the McCarvey family, and the petty man dared to peep at it, and besides, the knights were so well armed that a haughty man would be tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.

In the dead of night, when everyone was sleepy and sleepy, suddenly there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves and neighing from not far away.

The camp was attacked! The guards of the carriage were taken by surprise.

The servant sobbed hoarsely, "Madame was plundered, and I escaped by hiding under the car." ”

After listening to the servant's account, Julian's face turned cold, and he could not imagine that the daring bandit would dare to attack the nobleman's convoy.

"Do you know which direction they're going?"

"I hid under the car and closed my eyes, not even daring to .......breathe," the servant replied cautiously.

"Waste. ”

Tired of this useless waste, Julian said to Barr: "Drag down this coward who has abandoned his lord to survive, he must die to wash away his shame." ”

Ignoring the frightened servant, Barr dragged him like a dead dog with his powerful arms, but in a moment there was a terrible scream outside the house.

If it were just an ordinary bandit, a ransom would be fine, but the horse team who dared to hijack the nobles was certainly not an ordinary bandit, and could not analyze the matter with ordinary thinking, perhaps these bandits were instructed by someone.

"Fahan, what do you think I should do?"

Julian, who should have been furious, was unexpectedly calm at the moment, and the end of falling into the hands of the bandits must have been very miserable.

"I followed the footprints, and although I lost track of them in the end, I could not go wrong in the general direction, and it was probably the bandits who had entrenched themselves in the Cretaceous Mountains who had hijacked Madame's carriage. ”

"The Cretaceous Mountains?"

"Well, the Cretaceous Mountains have always been home to bandits, bandits, robbers, assassins, and vagabonds. The terrain is so complex that we won't be able to rescue Lady Christine alone. ”

A force to be reckoned with, and Julian only has fifty knights by his side, this is not Azuchi City, and Julian cannot deploy troops at will.

"The only thing to do now is to wait patiently, or to call on the rest of the nobles for help, but I am afraid that this will damage the reputation of the lady. Fahan replied cautiously.

Even if his life is saved, his chastity must be ruined.

At that time, Christine's robbery by the bandits will definitely make a lot of trouble.

"After paying the ransom, will they release them?"

Fahan, who came from a rough background, knew the tricks of those cruel robbers, "I'm afraid not, because it is easy to get caught, and Lady Christine herself is a rare beauty." ”

There was a rare silence for Julian, who was indeed caught in a dilemma, and was nakedly humiliated.

He waved away Fahan, then told Sebas to inquire about Christine, and then immediately got up to visit Lygia's quarters, where Julian seemed to think that only Lidia could be trusted.
