Chapter 355: The Way Home (2)
The interiors of aristocratic residences were often spacious and luxurious, and so were the houses of the William family, with their intricate lighting, high walls casting faint shadows on soft carpets, crystal tables in the middle, soft sofas around them, and fine wine glasses and porcelain pots.

Further back is the blue wall, in front of which hangs a huge oil painting, a flock of eagles surrounding the knight standing on the top of the mountain, the knight's expressive eyes seem to grasp the heart, and the wall is flanked by staircases at an angle of 45°, which lead to the corridor of the upper floor, outlining the protruding wall in the shape of a trapezoid.
Ten handsome maids, led by the old butler, bowed humbly and greeted him, and at a quick glance, the old butler found that the temporary master was not very old, and remembered the extremely stern warning of the noble lord in the town, and couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of the other party, but he quickly dispelled this undeserved thought.
"Dear host, the kitchen is ready, you see if there is anything else to add. ”
The old butler handed over the post with both hands to write the menu, and asked Charon respectfully.
Charon is not very particular about food, he just glanced at the menu, pointed to more than a dozen dishes with his fingers, and Bowen, who understood what he meant, used a quill pen to hook up after the name of the dish.
"Except for these dishes, there is no need to prepare the others, and the head of the family does not like to be extravagant and wasteful. ”
Bowen has always respected the head of the family, but not only because of Charon's great strength, the illustrious and noble head of the family faced countless temptations, but never tried to enjoy the erosion, but adhered to the traditional virtues, this style has made countless soldiers who serve the Del family admired and admired.
The old butler was even more surprised, but he immediately ordered the man to inform the cook, and then waited for the next order.
"Steward Benjamin, you let these men go and serve my wife, and let us know when lunch is ready. Seeing that there was still time, Charon didn't want to sit in the hall, and he already knew his surroundings well, "Bowen, bring a sword and accompany me to practice for a while." ”
"Do as you wish!"
Bowen took his iron sword, waved his hand at Benjamin, who wanted to say something, and strode after Charon's back.
Benjamin was a little stunned by such a resolute way of doing things, and beckoned the maid to go and serve the lady, and he hurriedly followed the two who left.
As an unfavored princess, Olivia didn't have many accessories and only one box of clothes, but last night the royal family took the initiative to add many large and small boxes to her, so she planned to take advantage of her stay here to tidy up.
The knights Agatha and Hannah were the personal guards arranged for Olivia by the Winged royal family, one carrying Daini, the other carrying two large boxes, followed by a group of maids holding small boxes, and a group of people marched to the room on the second floor.
"Sister, do you want someone to scrub with some hot water?" Olivia felt distressed for a while, but when she was carried upstairs, her sister's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and she didn't know how much pain she was bearing.
"No, I don't. After being laid flat on the bed, Dani replied with her eyes closed, she had spent the past two days thinking about what else could be used by the head of the Del family for her crippled body.
Olivia wiped the sweat from Dinny's forehead with a handkerchief, fed her a few spoonfuls of warm water, and when the latter shook her head, she stopped, and when she put the glass of water in the cabinet by the window, she saw Charon's figure, and couldn't help but open the window and look intently.
The blade of the sword brought up a wild wind, slashing at the young man in front of him, except for not using his fighting energy, the Bowen knight did not spare any hand, and the sword blade blessed by his strength was enough to split the ordinary weapon armor in half.
The iron sword raised a half-arc, and the tip collided with the slashed knight's sword, which should obviously be inflexible, but Charon's wrist shook in a slight amplitude, and the iron sword produced a great suction, and a roll pulled the knight's sword downward, and the wind lightly neutralized Bowen's attack.
"It's rare that you can adjust your own military sword skills to form your own sword moves, but this move is obviously more than enough to kill, and the agility is insufficient. ”
From the force transmitted from the blade, Charon understood that the crux of Bowen's problem was his habit of pressing his center of gravity forward, but he didn't point it out, but prepared to let him intuitively understand the difference between the two, "It's me who will attack." ”
The two of them retreated to a certain distance, Bowen held the sword in both hands, concentrating on defense, the surrounding scenery faded color, leaving only the silent gray, in his eyes, the head of the family held the sword and walked calmly, the killing aura of military swordsmanship was like a wave, rising upward, and the shadow covered the sky.
Charon lunged forward suddenly, his iron sword slicing through the air with ease, and his trajectory was as powerful as Bowen's previous attacks, except that his back tilted at a very small angle.
Bowen knew the strength of the blow well, his feet were in a half-lunge, and the knight's sword slashed upward, and his body turned with a crack.
However, when the two swords clashed, Bowen's face changed suddenly, and this sharp force fell as light as a feather, as if most of it was taken away before the blade friction just exploded into sparks.
Charon lifted the iron sword two inches lightly, and suddenly slashed again, the weight of this blow made Bowen's feet sink directly into the ground, and the iron boots were less than half, and he didn't concentrate on the dark energy, so Bowen could successfully unload this force.
A maid trotted out of the room, through the long corridor, and whispered a report that brought the shocked old butler Benjamin back to his senses.
"My lord, lunch is over...."
Charon retracted the iron sword into its sheath, reached out and pressed down to stop Benjamin's next words, turned his head to look at the building, and then left with a few people, leaving Bowen alone in his feelings.
Olivia hid by the window, her eyes were filled with ripples, and no one knew the hopes and fantasies in the girl's heart.
...........
"I don't like people being too far apart, I hope you don't mind. "Hmm. ”
In the bright and quiet hall, the floor was covered with a wide red carpet, the long table in the middle was empty, the dishes were placed on the small table next to it, and the servants had long been waved away, only Charon and Olivia were here.
"You will be my wife, don't be too cautious in front of me, as long as you don't betray me, I will never hurt you. ”
Charon stood behind Olivia and naturally tied a napkin for her, but the intimacy made her freeze and not move.
Returning to his seat, Charon looked into the girl's eyes with a serious and sincere expression, "This is the first formal conversation between us, and I am not good at speculating on the psychology of others, so I hope we can be honest with each other to avoid misunderstandings in the future, is it okay?"
After the girl nodded, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said slowly: "I chose you because you are an important person to Dani, and I need to use this to coerce her to serve me, and more importantly, because you are of good quality, the type I like." ”
Olivia had never heard such straightforward words, her face was slightly red, and she said softly: "Thank you! Thank you for not hiding another reason from me, I will try my best to cooperate with you in my sister's affairs, as long as you can forgive her mistakes." ”
After a pause, she said: "I always thought you were a very hateful person before, but after contact, I found out that this is not the case, although Charon you look indifferent, but you are not really arrogant, respect other people, sister They are such a person who has done such an exceedance to you, you also use a broad mind to accommodate you, you are not a bad person." ”
"You are wrong, in the past few years since I succeeded to the position of head of the family, I have personally killed more than 1,000 people, and countless people have died indirectly because of me, some are enemies, but many are innocent lives. The rapid development of the Del family in recent years is based on countless dry bones and sins, and my blood is thicker than that of my father, grandfather, and other ancestors, and the crimes I have committed are more vicious, these are indelible facts. ”
Charon spoke plainly and straightforwardly, as if he were talking about someone else, "My family has made it easy for me, and I should also remove the obstacles in its path, so although countless people hate me and blame me, I have never regretted my choice." ”
Olivia stared at Charon without saying a word, she felt the monstrous sea of blood from Charon's words, and also felt the heavy responsibility, and there was one person who shouldered the majesty of the entire family.
"I will be your wife, so even if you have blood on your hands, I will wipe it for you, I will not object to your decisions, and I will be by your side no matter what you do. But war is bad after all, it will hurt and bleed, it will endanger lives, it will bring harm to many people, it will make many people hate you and try to kill you, if you can..."
"The Del family has risen by force, and now it is not enough, and if it does not maintain its advantage, it will only be mortal!"
Charon's eyes concealed the golden void sword, judging from the girl's mood fluctuations, the concern for him was not hypocritical, "You don't have to worry, the Neidel family will not launch a high-intensity large-scale war for a long time in the future, and the opponent is no longer the surrounding kingdom, and the hatred between Feiyi and the Del family will soon fade over time and the relationship between certain interests." ”
Olivia didn't understand the meaning of Charon's words, but she probably understood the meaning, so she was relieved, she felt that he should not deceive herself.
