Hearing Bella say this, Kersmud unconsciously stared at him, a straight and sharp gaze that pressed straight into his face. At first, Bella was able to look at Kersmer, but finally she couldn't resist the sharpness and looked to the side.
"Have you always liked to look at people like that?" said Bella, a little shy.
"Not really," Kersmund laughed, "I'm just looking at the people I want to know." β
Bella smiled slightly and squinted at him: "That's a coincidence, I want to understand you, and you want to understand me, and you haven't answered my words yet?"
"What do you ask me?"
Bella looked at him and said, "You are not very old, but you have such an outstanding skill, which is very enviable, and I can guess that you are gradually approaching the peak of your life by serving in the army with your skill, constantly accumulating military achievements." In addition, I think you will soon be able to build a perfect family, and your wife will definitely be gentle and considerate to you. How can someone like you be an unfortunate person like you say?"
Kersmund smiled bitterly, "You guessed wrong, I'm at a low point in my life right now. I just left the army not so long ago and now I am at a loss for everything. β
Bella was slightly stunned, her eyes widened, as if her heart was full of doubts, and she whispered: "So, I guessed wrong......" Suddenly, a kind of relief appeared on his face, and he looked at Hemord and said, "Can you make it clearer?"
Eyemerd looked out the window and said, "It's late at night, and you still haven't rested?"
Bella shook her head and said, "No, if I go back like this, I won't be able to sleep all night, anyway, you are injured, you can't leave tomorrow, so let's talk about it again." β
Eyemerd smiled and said, "It won't take so long, my past may be explained in a few words, but you ......"
Bella said, "We are talking about you, and how did it turn to me? I want to know how you were a teenager, and how you developed this outstanding skill? It must have been your father who taught you, right?"
Dermard smiled bitterly: "If you talk about it in detail, it will be difficult to explain it, let's make a long story short, my ability was given to me by an old nun named Marit, without her, I would not be where I am now." Also, not so long ago, one of my good brothers died in battle. His death changed many of my thoughts and will change my future!"
Eyemund sighed softly and continued, "You may not believe it!"
Bella said: "No, I now think that you are a person who can make me fully trust, I must believe what you say, but I am afraid that you will not say more." β
Bella's eyes were filled with infinite sincerity, and after a long period of turmoil, Sensed felt that it was an innocence that could not be desired, which was the main reason why he had a special affection for this Bella.
After speaking, Bella stood up, slowly walked to the bed of Kersmer, and said softly: "It's me who is not good, you lost too much blood just now, you shouldn't talk much, it's better to rest early, and I'll accompany you tomorrow." With that, Bella turned and left.
However, with a sudden movement of his right hand, Kersmond grabbed Bella's wrist. Bella was suddenly startled, and wanted to break free of Axmerd's hand, but she couldn't break free for a while, and in a hurry, she couldn't help but blush.
"Brother!" looked at his anxious face and said with a smile, "At least you should tell me about you, I still don't know anything about you!"
Bella desperately wrestled her hand and said, "You...... Let me go, let me go...... You're a person...... What a ......."
But Minded could not have imagined that he would be so anxious, and at the same time, because he was in a hurry, he revealed his true form! Seeing his delicate and reddened, flower-like face, and hearing his voice become extremely delicate, Mindmer suddenly felt as if someone had been hit on the head with a wooden stick.
He ...... Is he also a woman?" The thought flashed, and Minded was suddenly shocked like a lightning bolt, and his heart moved, and the hand that was holding the other's wrist suddenly let go. Bella stumbled backwards and nearly fell.
"Are you ......" Sensed looked at him and asked in surprise, "Are you male or female?"
When Bella was asked by the other party, her delicate face instantly turned snow-white, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately retreated back again and again.
Kersmond jerked over and got out of bed, asking, "Who the hell are you?" and why ......?"
In a hurry, Bella suddenly grabbed the door and fled, and Kersmund tried to stop him again, but he was already a step too slow, and saw that his figure had disappeared outside the door.
It was as if he was in a dream, standing still, and his mind was suddenly in turmoil.
"Could it be that she is really a woman?" In fact, this is a question that he should have thought of a long time ago, but it was only now that he suddenly touched it, at this moment, his mind was full of the shadow of that Bella, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but believe that his guess was right, and suddenly he felt a heat on his face.
If he was a woman, who would she be? Why would she care so much about me......? Beruga...... Jamila, could it be, is she Ms. Jamila?"
A short time later, there was a long neighing of horses downstairs, as if someone had hurried away.
While Ksmerd was at a loss, the door of his half-hidden room was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure almost covered in a black robe with a hood appeared in front of him.
"Who?" asked Kersmund immediately and vigilantly when he saw the figure.
The mysterious man did not answer Kersmerd, but swept his sharp gaze across Kersmer's room, and then immediately turned away.
Germund watched the mysterious man leave in disbelief, wondering who he was, let alone what he wanted to do. After standing there for a while, he also left the room and found a fellow downstairs and asked.
"Which one do you mean?" said the fellow, "and just now another guest left, and it was strange tonight that three guests had left in the middle of the night, and they were all in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry, and they couldn't even wait for dawn, so they hurriedly rode their horses and left, and they were going in the same direction." β
Ksmerd was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh, there are three of them?"
The fellow replied, "Yes, the third guest just left, and the second one didn't have long left." β
Thinking of this, Kersmerd immediately asked the guy, "Which direction did they all go?"
The man replied, "All south!"
When Eksmerd rode his horse and followed the hoof prints on the snow to chase south, for some reason, his mind was full of Bella's figure. Whether Bella is really a woman disguised as a man, he can't be sure, and he has to wait for the facts to prove. In any case, this man has a strong affection for him. If Bella was really a lady, then his behavior was too rude for herβhow could he hold a lady's hand so rudely?
All he wanted now was to catch up with her as soon as possible, so that he could clear up his knowledge and misunderstandings about her. Bella rode a golden steed and hurried south, on the one hand to chase the suspected fellow of Yoro, and on the other hand to escape from Kersmerd.
Fortunately, there was a clear line of horseshoe prints left on the snow, so that he could keep the direction of the chase and not get lost. This snow, which has been falling for a long time, stopped in the middle of the night, and if there are no special circumstances, ordinary people will not walk on this snow in the middle of the night, so the horseshoe prints left on the snow are most likely left by that guy. And Bella didn't think much about it, so she followed this line of horseshoe prints and chased south.
The sky was cloudy, the moonlight and stars were able to shine onto the earth, and the snow and ice reflected the light, enveloping the snowfields in a bright light. After more than an hour of unhindered horseback galloping, Bella was approaching the edge of the Virginia snowfield, but he still couldn't catch up with the guy.
As he was running forward desperately, suddenly, a group of men rushed out of the woods beside the road ahead and blocked his way, the first two were knights wearing huge helmets and red sleeveless plate armor and riding military horses. Both knights, each holding a knightly fan shield in his left hand and a different weapon in his right hand - one with a mace and the other with a heavy cavalry spear.
The two knights were followed by three men, who also rode military horses, but their armor was noticeably lower than that of the two knights, and the weapons they held were riding spears, fighting hoes, and warrior daggers.
"Hey, sir, we are a special team from your friendly neighbour, the kingdom of Swadia, and we are here to await your arrival and receive your support, whether it be the dinar, bread, or ale, if it is your generosity to give us, we will gladly accept it, and be sincerely grateful to you!" said the knight with the heavy lance in his hand, in a loud and powerful voice.
"Haha, what kind of special team from a friendly neighboring country, what a really nice thing to say! I know that your Swadia army suffered a defeat at Rudaburg a few days ago, and the fact that you people can come here means that you are either deserters or defeated troops, and now that you have left the large army, you have no money or food, so you will be so destitute to stop the road and beg in the middle of the night!" Bella said without scruples.
In fact, this group of Swadia soldiers had escaped from the battle of the defense of Fort Rudaa a few days earlier, and consisted of two Swadia knights and three Swadia heavy cavalry. When the Swadian army was defeated, they fled the battlefield in a panic, misdirected, and fled into the woods north of Rudaburg, and then continued north, until they entered the Vigia snowfield, where they realized that something was wrong. By this time, they had eaten all the food they had brought with them. While they were wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, enduring hunger and cold, they met Bella, who was hurrying to this side, and stopped him at once.
The truth that Bella said made these people speechless for a while, and then, Bella smiled and said: "Okay, I'll give you some money, you can use the money to buy some food in the nearby villages, and then rush back to your border immediately!"
As she spoke, Bella took out a small bag from her body, opened it, and reached inside, intending to take out some dinars from it and distribute them to the fleeing soldiers from Swadia.
However, before he could take out the money, the Swadian knight with the mace jerked his head, and then two Swadian heavy cavalry suddenly rode up and rushed towards Bella, whistling past Bella's side, and almost at the same time stretched out a hand to Bella. One of the Swadian heavy cavalry snatched the bag containing the dinar from Bella's hand, while the other Swadian heavy cavalry ripped the hood off Bella's head when he let out a scream.
After the hood was ripped off, Bella's long blond hair immediately fell like a waterfall, revealing it. Bella hurriedly tried to put the hood back on, but then stopped because it was pointless.
"Haha, so you're a lady, and you're so pretty!" said the Swadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand, in a tone full of surprise.
"Give me back the money! You are a robbery, the same robbery as the pirates! I wanted to help you, but you treated me like this! You are really disgraceful to your country, aren't you afraid that if such an ugly thing spreads, you will lose your honor and be punished?" said Bella, annoyed.
"No," said the Svadian knight with the mace, "as long as we don't tell anyone about it, no one will know about it." β
"Hmph, are you going to die for me, don't think I don't dare to tell me about it!" Bella, after saying this, suddenly realized something, and glared at the two Swadian knights in horror and anger, her voice trembling, "You...... You guys...... Do you want to ......?"
The Svadia knight with the mace in his hand said coldly, "We believe in your courage, but we have no confidence in your luck. Yes, now in our eyes, you are no different from a dead man. β
Bella looked at the two Swadia knights and one Swadia heavy cavalry in front of him, and then looked back at the two Swadia heavy cavalry guarding behind him at this time, and couldn't help but fall into despair. She said angrily and angrily: "You have robbed me of my money and killed me, it is really too much! My future husband and Brother Enqi will not let you go! If you kill me, they will definitely avenge me!"
"Haha, what is your future husband, and who is Enqi? Huh? This name is a little familiar!" said the Svadian knight with the heavy lance in his hand.
"My future husband is a Nord royal bodyguard, and Enqi's eldest brother is a true knight, although he has not been knighted!" Bella said in a proud tone.
"The Nord royal guard, yes? I ended the life of a Nord royal guard with a spear sprint a few days ago, oh God, that feeling, it was so painful! His scream still makes me remember it endlessly!"
"Of course not!" Bella quickly shook her head in denial, "My future husband has come to me, and although he doesn't want to admit his identity for the time being, I'm sure it's him." He's not far from me right now, and he'll be coming for me soon!"
"Oh, beautiful lady, I understand your desire for your future husband. But it will take time for your future husband to arrive, so let's satisfy you first, it just so happens that we haven't touched a woman in a few days, and we will definitely treat you with all our might!" After saying that, the Svadian knight with the mace in his hand let out a lewd laugh, and the other Swadian knight and the three Swadian heavy cavalry also immediately let out a presumptuous and evil laugh after hearing his words.
