Chapter 103: The Truth
The next day, Leon wrote a letter to the Arno priest in White Mist City, saying that the matter of the scepter was too crucial. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Your Highness, do you want to continue to hide this matter?" York had just finished his morning exercise, and there was only the prince in the executive hall.
"There's no need to tell him. "The current rhetoric is only speculation, Diana's words also need to be verified, and now telling Chris the truth is meaningless and unnecessary.
Just a phrase "beware of Rachel", what to watch out for? There is no way to talk about it, a ten-year-old girl can't do anything about the town.
York nodded, that was what he thought as well.
Now that the banquet is over, and the new dock and smelter have been built, the matter of the school is on the agenda.
"York, I've given you a mission. Leon took a parchment roll from the shelf and gave it to York.
It was a plan to build an inn and a market. In the past, there was no reason for the existence of inns in the town without outsiders, but now, in addition to regular trade, some merchants who see the benefits will come spontaneously, but the terms of trade in the town have not reached that standard.
It's not just two buildings, it's from here that the development of Lyon's towns starts, and with the foundation, they can be developed one by one.
"No problem, it's just that it doesn't have the location of the building written on it. York glanced at it, and the general situation was clear, but the most important position was not.
"You need to look at this, just get close to the new docks. "The current town is full of staggered homes, not even a neat avenue, and the new plan for Ravenwood must have the appearance of a town.
The existing vacant land in the town is a piece of land in the east and a piece in the west, which cannot be used reasonably, and may have to be demolished when it is rebuilt in the future, so as to avoid such a thing, it must be considered now.
"So the new dock is going to be a new town?" said York, putting away the parchment, he just needed to find a place and a person in charge, the knight's duty was not to guard the mason.
"That's right. That's exactly what Lyon thinks.
"Your Highness, is the academy ready to start construction?" When Chris came to the Executive Hall, the prince was already taking care of things, and his mind was now completely focused on the development of the town, and he believed that one day Ravenwood would become a big city like White Mist City.
"Yes, York is doing that. "This matter has been arranged for a long time, and many people know about it, for example, the masons have heard about the school before, and they have long been clamoring for their children to read and write.
"Soon, my little sister will be able to have a literacy place, and she won't have to work as hard as when I was a child. Chris was in a good mood, he was a child with a noble boy who accompanied him, and he learned to read and write at that time.
Later, he came to White Mist City to do business, and occasionally found time to teach his little sister. But after being reduced to a pauper, he ran around all day long to fill his stomach, and where was there time to teach writing.
"Rachel is a lot younger than you. Leon decided to take the opportunity to get to know Rachel more and to get the most information from Chris was the quickest and most accurate.
"yes, fifteen years younger than me, so she's been with me most of the time. Chris looked a little sad about it.
"It's not uncommon. Leon wasn't surprised, as it's common across the continent for siblings to differ more than ten years between siblings.
"Actually, she and I are not biological brother and sister. Chris gritted his teeth, he still didn't intend to hide it from the prince, this was his home, and the prince didn't dislike his background for his position, and adoption was not a shame.
Chris is an orphan who worked in a noble family as a child, and his life is basically passable. When he was fifteen years old, he found the abandoned Rachel, and out of the same origin, he decided to rescue the baby girl and take care of her as his little sister.
"And such a thing? Where did you find her? Did her family find her?" Leon didn't expect this to be the case.
Chris went out to buy something for the noble son that day, and on the way back, he heard a cry on the side of the alley, he followed the direction of the sound, and saw a child abandoned in the corner, he looked around, but found no one.
Chris didn't leave, but stayed by the child's side and waited, maybe her family would come looking for her, but when it was almost dark, no one came.
Chris was only a servant in a noble family, and he was only fifteen years old, so it was rare for him to take on the responsibility. At first, he was ready to give up, there were too many abandoned children in this society, and he himself was one of them.
After walking a short distance, he still couldn't let go of his heart, and after some mental struggle, Chris turned back and picked up the baby girl.
In the following time, he inquired around about the news, but was disappointed that no one knew the origin of the baby girl, and after spending a lot of energy and finding nothing, he gave up searching.
For such a passing, Lyon was not too surprised. Although the Xueman Kingdom has developed over the years and some places have prospered, most of the low-level civilians are still living badly, and once they are unable to raise their offspring, they will choose to abandon them, and even if someone finds them, they will find an excuse to veto them.
"I remember that the reason why you came to White Mist City was because you offended the nobles, right?" Leon had heard him talk about, but he didn't know the specific reason, he didn't think to ask in detail at the time, and now figuring it out might help him judge.
"Yes, indeed. The prince didn't ask, and Chris didn't say.
"In fact, the matter of offending the nobles needs to be verified, no one else was present, and I have to accept this result by the words of only one of the nobles. Chris's words caused a stir again.
"What the hell is going on?" Leon felt that things were not simple.
That day, Chris was out on an errand, and when he returned, he learned that the little boy was injured, and the person who caused his injury was actually Rachel.
Chris didn't believe it, Rachel had always been obedient, and besides, she was still a little girl, how could she be hurt in the face of a noble son who was more than four years older than her.
The aristocracy insisted that it was Rachel's fault, and the two of them were present at the time, and when they found out, the little boy had been seriously injured, and Rachel also had bruises on her body, indicating that the two had a dispute.
In the face of the aristocrats' unreasonableness, Chris could only flee with his little sister overnight, staying to justify it would not work at all.
"What wounds did that little boy have?" Leon asked.
"There were no wounds on his body, according to the doctor, it was a serious internal injury, and there was a lot of blood coming out of the corners of his mouth. When I went to see him, he was pale and unconscious. To cause such an injury, they would definitely not have been able to do it without years of martial arts, and instead of tracking down those suspicious people, they put the blame on Rachel, and they really didn't understand what they were thinking. Chris was a little excited, and now two years later, this scene is still clearly imprinted in his mind.
Leon thought about it, what Chris said did make sense, if York shot at that little boy, it would not be difficult to cause the same injury, but if it was Rachel, it would be a problem, a little girl could do it?
