Chapter 157: The Slave's Birthday (2)

Both Alice and John knew the two girls, and their names were 'Dietlisia' and 'Gretta' respectively, but for Charlie, it was the first time they had seen them. After all, on the day of the rescue of the slave ship, he did not enter the city, but was leading a team outside the city in accordance with this order.

They were originally the children of thieves in the slums of Regedia, but even if they were down, they still tried to 'live'. It's hard to agree with their way of life, but at least it's much better than the children who are sold into slavery.

Alice must point out that in the comics she once read, the slave girls saved by the protagonist are all beautiful, sweet, and clingy, and so on, all of which are fictional. Because the two people in front of them, even if they are polite, they are not cute girls.

But this is also a matter of course, no matter how natural you are, you can nest in the sewers all day long, you will not see the light of day and be malnourished, and you will be prone to all kinds of diseases. So, the two of them looked skinny, rough-skinned, and their hair was sticky and messy, if you used an analogy, the difference between a domestic pet dog and a stray wild dog.

However, Alice, who is the daughter of the aristocracy, did not show any disgust for this, and still responded to the greetings of the two with a smile. At this point, Alice's broad-mindedness could not help but make Charlie feel admired, although Alice herself did not have such self-awareness.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look good!"

"Alice, you're the daughter of the lord of this place, can you only prepare for this shabby place?"

As soon as the little girl named Dietlisia spoke, she complained to Alice with arrogance.

"What are you talking about! You guy's attitude is too bad!"

Alice didn't pay attention to this at all, but John retorted with a dissatisfied face.

"yes, yes! Didi, that's too much...... We're taken care of...... Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Alice!"

"Don't care, don't care~~!It's because we didn't entertain well, but we can only prepare this kind of place, I'm really sorry, ahaha......"

The dark-skinned Greta hurriedly stopped her companion's rude words, but even so, she was also from a slum street, but she didn't know the exact amount of etiquette to communicate with the nobles. Fortunately, Alice didn't care about these in the first place, originally, for an ordinary student on earth, aristocratic etiquette or something was at best just a trick to pretend to be forced, and its actual effect was not important at all.

"Hey...... It doesn't look any different from before, how the hell do these kids have to get to be like this? ”

Seeing the children in the courtyard squatting in place like lifeless stone statues, Alice sighed helplessly. Not to mention the health condition, the environment here is now chaotic and difficult to describe in words. If these children just stay still, it would be nothing, and they even excrete everywhere, making the dirty farm yard that was not much cared for now even more stinky.

To be honest, it is not too much to describe them as stray dogs before, because even the pet dogs that 'teenagers' had in their previous lives are much smarter than them.

Although Alice calls herself a virgin-type protagonist, that doesn't mean she won't be disgusted by the scene in front of her, and now she feels as uncomfortable as walking into a public toilet that is never cleaned on the side of the road. When she thought about teaching these children to live like ordinary people in the coming days, Alice felt that it was not an ordinary task to go or not. At the same time, she also realized what her father, Lutega, called "the weight of this responsibility".

Fortunately, in the face of such a dirty and messy scene, Charlie and his wife still took immediate action and began to clean and tidy up. In fact, Charlie had horses in his house. For the two who are familiar with cleaning up the horse club, the environment in front of them is not so bad.

"Hmph, these guys have always been like this! It's useless to save them! A pack of wild dogs is dirty...... It's better to let them be sold abroad and destroy themselves!"

Dietrichia's attitude towards children who are not part of their 'lair' can be described as unceremonished, and it seems that her fellow villagers and similar circumstances do not make her feel much sense of companionship. Perhaps, in the eyes of Dietrichia, who dared to rebel against adults, those toys that knew that they were raised at will by their parents and would one day be sold as slaves but did not know how to resist were not worthy of their sympathy at all.

And although Greta on the side did not put these words on his lips, his eyes were also full of indifference. The attitude of the two made Alice uncomfortable, but she knew that it was helpless, in the extreme environment of the slums of [Regedia], it was already exhaustive to survive, and they were obliged and spare their strength to sympathize with others. But—

"You guy, how can you say such a thing! They are no different from you!"

Yes, it's a pity that these 'adult truths' are too early for little John, who has a great sense of justice. The description of 'wild dog' made his mind heat up, and he did not hesitate to refute Dietlisia's verbal violence.

"Cut~~ The little girl who was raised in the greenhouse, how can she understand the hardships of our life and talk less about the wind and cool there. ”

"You, what are you talking about!?Also, I'm not a girl! I'm a man!"

"Huh, boys dressed like this, you're stupid!

"You're stupid!"

So, the two immediately lashed out fiercely. Although the noisy content is at the level of elementary school students, it is enough to show the influence of the living environment on the child's worldview. Both of them are just simple children, they don't have anything right or wrong, they just don't know how to empathize and express their opinions. For this reason, as the host and master, Alice, who is over twenty years old in her heart, has to stand up to stop the meaningless quarrel between the two.

"John, enough is enough. I should have told you that if a man is a man, he will use practical actions to prove that his point of view is correct, instead of tearing and tearing up like a girl. At this pace, you're still a long way from taking off this maid suit. ”

"Cut ......"

was reprimanded by Alice, John was speechless, but his insignificant self-esteem did not allow him to take the initiative to apologize, so he had to smack his tongue unconvinced and turn his eyes to the side.

"Dietrichia and Greta...... Right. I have seen it with my own eyes, though your life is hard, and that is why I helped to save your companions from the ship on that day, and made such a declaration in the city. But it seems to me that you are equal to these children, the wild dogs in your mouth, no different...... From this day forward, you are all companions living under the same roof. I believe you don't want to be treated as a wild dog, don't you? What's more, girls speak so rudely and unreasonably, beware that they won't be able to marry when they grow up?"

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!"

The lips were still unforgiving, but Alice's words seemed to have managed to reach Dietrichia's heart, and she was silent and no longer spoke ill of the other children.

"John, I know that you fought for those children, including the way you rescued them from the slave traders, and I am proud of you as a Master. You really deserve to be my disciple, and you were really handsome when you were fighting at the forefront at that time~!I hope you can always maintain this sense of justice?

Dietlisia, too, the look in his eyes when he asked me for help in order to save his important family members on that day is still vivid in my memory. At that time, I was thinking, how beautiful the eyes full of faith and true love are~~ like this. So, I hope you can share your true feelings and beauty with more people. Is that okay?"

The next words made the two who were still arguing agree, and their cheeks were red at a loss. Seeing this, Alice grinned triumphantly and stretched out her arm while holding both of them shoulders.

Alice's performance once again made Charlie smile with admiration, and in his opinion, Alice was indeed the lord's own daughter.

You know, Count Lutga is usually the same, very good at mediating conflicts between people. Although Celia is a small place with simple people, it does not mean that there are no disputes among the townspeople, and the lord of Count Lutga often takes matters into his own hands, using the same method as Alice does now, first pointing out the mistakes of both sides and encouraging the parties to move in the right direction.

Charlie thinks that it is because of the character of Lutga that Celia has been able to run from a desperate place of starvation and almost extinction eight years ago to the town where he lives and works in peace and contentment. Now, the eldest daughter, who may inherit the territory and title, has the same potential as her father, which is undoubtedly a matter of good fortune.

Therefore, Charlie is looking forward to what good solutions Alice will come up with to solve the children's heart problems and complete her father's project. As I thought before, Alice shouldn't take any drastic measures-

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, you're all sold by slaves. I have been merciful enough to save you! But that doesn't mean that we in Celeia need useless bugs like you! Now, get up all of them, and run around this farm yard twenty times! Only after you have finished your run will you have dinner! Halfway down, you'll be hungry and sweep up the dung in the courtyard! Do you hear me!?"

However, contrary to Charlie's expectations, Alice had just finished telling Dietlisa that she would share her true feelings with everyone, but she showed a more rude and impatient attitude and gave orders. As she spoke, she also used the 'golden fighting qi' in her body, and exploded the grass not far away with a 'boom', showing the amazing power above the 'leather whip', intimidating the slave children who had not yet come to their senses.
