Chapter 39: Untitled

William had barely gotten out of bed when little Peter rushed in. He said something with a smile on his face and a cheerful tone.

When little Peter finally calmed down and looked at Uncle William seriously, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and tears slowly rolled in his eyes. He held back and finally didn't let the tears fall. William couldn't help but be happy when he saw Little Peter's appearance.

He coughed, and little Peter hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Before William could speak, the old man walked in.

The old man looked at it, and saw that William's entire chest was wrapped in bandages, and a trace of blood donation dyed the white bandages all over the red masses. He was sitting on the edge of the bed weakly with little Peter in his arms. The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of softness, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Little Peter woke up when he saw the old man come in. He couldn't help but think of the scene outside the tent just now. Thinking desperately in his mind, he finally remembered that the Marquis of Bavaria, Maria, had asked about the Ducasse family. He hurriedly sorted out the confidence he had gathered now. First of all, the Ducasse family, then the Krent Emperor's ** god Uncle William, and finally the old man suddenly became His Majesty the Emperor. He kept thinking about it, but he couldn't remember anything about the old man.

The old man snorted as if he knew what he was thinking, and after finding a place to sit down, he said, "Don't think about it, there will be no presence for me in the History of the Krent Empire." You can't even know anything if you want to break your head. ”

Little Peter looked up at the old man, and then at Uncle William, who raised his eyebrows and looked surprised, pursed his lips and waited silently for the old man's explanation.

The old man didn't pay attention to him, first to see how William felt, and then asked about the whole process himself. After William finished speaking, he sighed: "Lancaster family." Tsk, this is the wolf's ambition to usurp the throne. ”

After hearing this, Henry snorted disdainfully in his nose: "I can only blame the Holy Emperor for being too stupid and too deeply confused by the Lancaster family." You deserve it. ”

William shrugged his shoulders and saw that the old man's expression was not good, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "However, Lancaster's swordsmanship is indeed very good, and his body speed is also very fast. I couldn't react at the last time, and he came in front of me. But luckily he still has quirks, or I would have died. ”

Henry straightened up, nodded vigorously, and said solemnly: "Well, he is very powerful." He is the one with the highest chance of winning a duel among nobles in the divine capital. I heard that recently, no one in the entire Holy Empire dared to compete with him, let alone fight a duel. But fortunately, his brain is not very good, and the whole person always seems to have a weird temperament, so now his reputation is not too high. But let's be honest, it's better not to provoke him. Anyway, I don't think we can find anyone in the Holy See who can say that we will definitely win against Lancaster, on the contrary, the possibility of losing is very high. It's really not easy for you to survive from under him, William. ”

William nodded with palpitations, a hint of fear appeared on his face, and said, "Yes." If he hadn't made the body of a steward like that, I think I would have been nailed to a tree for you to see. ”

Little Peter couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and recalled the last time in that chapel Father John was crucified with a spear. He was born and asked, "Uncle William, he also killed the people in the church?"

William nodded and said nothing. Little Peter clenched his hands and remembered the diary he had hidden at the bottom of his bag. For the first time, he felt such a great resentment towards someone he had never met. Not only because he hurt Uncle William, but also because his wanton and indiscriminate killing of innocents completely destroyed the false beautiful world in Little Peter's heart, freed him from the carefree childhood that was carefully cared for by the old man and Uncle William, and also made him finally recognize the cruelty in reality. It can be said that Lancaster taught little Peter a very serious and dangerous life lesson with his actions, showing him that the world is not what he thinks it is. It can be said that from this moment on, little Peter grew up without the protection of the old man and Uncle William.

The entire tent was silently all looking at little Peter, at his face, slightly distorted by anger. Henry felt a little strange, and wondered what the ordinary little boy in front of him could be worth looking forward to with the Emperor and the god of war, William.

The old man waited for little Peter to come out of his emotions before he spoke: "In short, Peter, you should be careful with the Lancaster family in the future." Of course, when you enter the monastery in the future, it is unlikely that you will have any contact with other people. By the way, Henry, you're going to lead these papal knights to protect Cromwell's Abbey, so we're on our way. We're going to send Peter and Eva to the monastery. ”

Henry couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he looked at the little boy in front of him seriously, he really didn't see any difference, so he could only hum and deal with it. ”

The old man sighed to himself and did not continue the subject, he cleared his throat and prepared to explain to little Peter about himself and William's identity. Just then, I heard an announcement outside the tent.

"Captain, we've caught the fugitive you just mentioned. A voice rang out like the one that had led the group to the camp at the beginning.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered his men to escort Philip in.

Philip was wrapped in ropes, and his eyes were rolling around, and he looked like a thief. The knight behind him pushed him impatiently into the tent. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Little Peter couldn't help but smile when he saw Philip. The old man waited for Philip to sit up from the ground before he asked slowly, "What do you want to do with us?"

Philip rubbed his little short leg and moved back a few times, lowered his head and whispered, "No, I just see that you are not easy and want to help." ”

The old man sneered, clapped his hands vigorously, and didn't say anything, but nodded to Henry. Henry understood and stood up, walked over to Philip, patted him on the cheek and asked in a deep voice. However, no matter how much he asked, Philip insisted that he just wanted to make friends and help each other or something.

Henry frowned at his gibberish, and dragged him out of the tent by the collar.

Little Peter heard a burst of Philip's screams and Henry's questioning outside, and after a while Philip couldn't stand it anymore and began to answer Henry's questions honestly.

Henry re-entered the tent, and little Peter craned his neck to look outside, just in time to see Philip being dragged out of the tent by two knights.

Henry first looked at Eva, then spread his hands and sighed at the old man, saying, "I thought this guy was a hard bone, but I didn't expect to be so unbeaten." In fact, he is just greedy because he sees that there are few of you and a child and a woman. I wanted to tie her up and sell her to a slave trader, but later I saw that William was not here, and he was even more greedy and wanted to sell you all to the slave traders. This man is not a good thing at first glance, so I asked my men to prepare to cut off his head. By the way, here's some jewelry from him, you see. As he spoke, he handed over a few bags.

When the old man heard this, he first glanced at William, and then smiled and said to little Peter: "Look, this is human greed. You've done a good job, and you'll have to work hard in the future. ”

Little Peter nodded vigorously.
