Chapter 324: Mary's Decision

Although he said this in front of Julien, in fact, Mary herself was also unconfident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
What do you think of yourself?
Of course, she doesn't think that those people will still see themselves as their companions now, but in fact, Mary herself doesn't care much about this, from what she said to Crowk before, everyone's distrust of her really makes Mary very sad, she can't figure out why others are okay to help the nobles, and she has become a betrayer of wealth and nobility when she helps Yulian do things, and this kind of differential treatment makes Mary very, very dissatisfied, In fact, now the girl basically doesn't see them as her companions, because in Mary's opinion, the so-called companions are to trust each other, but those mercenaries obviously don't believe in themselves very much, so between themselves and them, in fact, they are not companions.
Because of this, although she said so in front of Yulian, even Mary herself was not sure for sure.
She knew very well the surnames of those mercenaries, and if she asked them herself, they would definitely not say it, regardless of what Mary said before, their mercenaries have their own principles, that is, they do not casually reveal the origin and information of their employers, which is the pride and pride of mercenaries. What's more, Mary doesn't have a good relationship with them now, and if you ask directly, then it is naturally impossible for them to answer. And then it would have to be tortured -- but that would be contrary to Mary's original intentions.
"Miss Mary?"
Charlotte's voice interrupted Mary's thoughts, and she looked up to meet the smiling face of the head maid.
"Do you want to go in?"
The deep iron gate of the dungeon was in front of her, Mary stopped, hesitated, finally took a deep breath, and then nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I'm going in, Lord Charlotte. β
Having lived in this twilight castle for so long, Mary knew who was in power here.
"Well, good luck. β
Hearing Mary's answer, Charlotte didn't say anything more, she pushed the door open, and then stood in the door and smiled at the mercenary girl. Obviously, she wasn't going to go in. Sensing Charlotte's actions, Mary was also secretly relieved in her heart, although she didn't have any opinion of Charlotte, but frankly speaking, Mary really didn't want Charlotte to follow her side and watch herself communicate with those mercenaries, she wasn't afraid that Charlotte would report anything to Yulian, but she was still a little worried that she would be regarded as a "noble dogleg" by those mercenaries, so at the moment, Charlotte obviously planned to let her be alone with those people, which made Mary finally feel a lot more relieved.
She nodded her gratitude to Charlotte and walked into the dungeon.
Soon, Mary saw her former "companions."
Almost all of them were arrested, and put in a large cell, which, frankly, did not seem to Mary to be very well guarded, and seemed to be very ordinary, and with what she knew about her companions, they would certainly not be so obedient if they wanted to run, and now they looked like they were not tied up or anything like Mary had imagined, didn't they think of escaping?
The thought only swirled around Mary's mind, and then it was quickly dispelled, and she immediately understood why her companions were so honest, considering that although there seemed to be no one in this dungeon, there were dozens of dragon knights outside--and whoever thought he could outrun a dragon, he could try it.
"Mary?"
"Mary!"
And seeing Mary's figure, those mercenaries were also surprised, they opened their eyes wide, staring at the mercenary girl who came to the outside of the cage, not knowing what to say.
"Why are you here?"
"What are you doing here?"
All of a sudden, all sorts of questions were raised, some excited and some skeptical. But Mary didn't care about her companions' attitudes now, and she hurried to the outside of the cage and waved at them.
"I learned that you had been arrested, so I hurried back to take a look. β
At this point, Mary hesitated, but finally decided not to say the real reason for the moment.
"How did you get caught?"
"I don't know. β
"Who knows what the Knights of the End think. β
"Those guys didn't say anything when they arrested us, and I think those nobles are like that!"
Hearing this, most of the mercenaries called out, and Mary also looked at them all, obviously, these were the mercenaries on the periphery, and they did not participate in the secret operations of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group before, so they were naturally confused about the current situation, and now seeing Mary, they complained as a matter of course.
"Otherwise, Mary, you go and ask the lord, why did he arrest us, we didn't do anything, we are free mercenaries, he can't do this!"
"yes, yes, you have to let us know the reason, what is the matter with arresting us like this!"
Compared with these disgruntled mercenaries, Mary soon noticed that most of the mercenaries who had participated in private operations before had serious faces and hid behind them without saying a word. Obviously, unlike the group of unlucky ghosts before them, they knew exactly why they were arrested, but judging by their appearance, they didn't seem to intend to reveal the news to their companions.
Seeing the expressions of these people, Mary couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, obviously they did it, and now that the whole mercenary group has been arrested, these people still don't stand up to explain. What are they thinking? Are they afraid of injuring other people? But now that they're already injuring other people, can't they just stand up and say it like a man?
"What do you think, Captain?"
Thinking of this, Mary finally couldn't help it, and asked by name.
"I just came back, and I don't know what happened to everyone to get arrested...... Do you have any clues?"
Hearing Mary's inquiry, the regimental commander stood up, he first glanced at the surrounding mercenaries, and then looked at Mary, but his gaze was obviously a little complicated, as if he didn't know what he was thinking. In the face of his complicated gaze, Mary looked at the other party very directly and bravely, in her opinion, since he was the head of a group, then he had to be responsible for his own men, didn't he?
"I don't know why the Knights of the End captured us. β
However, the regimental commander's subsequent remarks disappointed Mary.
"I don't know if they have any conspiracy or plan, or if they just caught the wrong person, but don't worry, our Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment has a good reputation, and we haven't done anything to be sorry for others, so don't be afraid at all, everyone, we just need to wait patiently, I'm sure there will always be an explanation for us." β
"That's right!"
At this moment, Crowk also stood up, he shouted loudly, and then looked at everyone.
"Who knows what those nobles are thinking, and we don't care! Everyone, remember, we are glorious mercenaries, and we must never submit to those nobles! Even if we are tortured and interrogated! We will never give in! Because we are different from those pampered guys, we are mercenaries who come in the wind and go in the rain, and gamble with our lives and blood. No matter what the nobles want from us, or just what they want to do, we can't let them get away with it!, right!!"
"Yes, that's right, even if I don't know anything, I will never open my mouth and be angry with this group of old men. β
"Hahaha, Crowk, you kid said it so well! That's right, we're mercenaries, we're afraid of who's coming!"
Seeing the mercenaries in front of her, Mary's heart has completely sunk to the bottom, although she was not sure about convincing those mercenaries, but now it seems that the surname may be basically zero......... If it weren't for Crowker's interjection that made everyone burn, then how could he have ended up in such a situation where there is nothing he can do now?
"Mary. β
And at this moment, Crowk also walked to the edge of the iron prison, and when he saw him coming, the other mercenaries subconsciously made room for him, after all, the relationship between these two people is very clear to everyone. And hearing his call, Mary also reluctantly collected her inner feelings, and then came to his side.
"Don't be nervous, don't worry about us, it's no big deal, these nobles are thundering and raining, I'm more worried about you, since that damn nobleman will arrest us all, then be careful that he will also attack you, if you can, I hope you can get out of here immediately, away from this dangerous place." We are not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of the means of the nobility, Mary, but I am more worried about you, if anything happens to you........."
"Crowk ........."
Looking at the young man in front of her, Mary opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, or rather, she couldn't say anything.
"I............ I'll figure it out, and I'll definitely get you out. β
"Don't force it, we're not afraid, don't forget, we're not ordinary cats and dogs. β
Saying this, the young mercenary's face showed a proud expression again.
"We are the famous Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment in the mainland!Who are we afraid of!!Although the Knights of the Final Yan are very powerful, we are not the kind of guy who allows him to be bullied, I will let them see that there are still people in this world who are not afraid and submit to their silver might!!"
β...............β
Mary closed her mouth, her gaze past Crowk to the mercenaries behind him, many of them scarred and exhausted, apparently the result of resisting while being captured. And now, some of them were silent, others were smiling at them, and of course, not without them casting suspicious glances at them.
Mary had no doubt that Yuren would kill them, but what about the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment? They were the people who even the Church of Holy Grace and the Sith Empire would dare to fight, a small detachment of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment, and they were arrested because they tried to fight them. Mary believes that even if this matter is caused by the general meeting, the Blue Feather Mercenary Group will not be able to take care of it. And now, looking at the way they looked, it was obvious that they didn't intend to tell what was behind them, and they no longer had the opportunity to ask.
So, what to do?
Just walk away like this, and let your companions, the companions who once fought together, die in prison like this?
And at this moment, a cold voice rang out.
"Crowk, don't talk nonsense with her, she may have been bought by that nobleman. β
"I wasn't bought!"
Mary hurriedly turned her head and looked at the person who spoke, who was none other than the deputy head of the mercenary group.
"So, why are we all arrested, and only you haven't been arrested?"
However, in the face of Mary's defense, the other party did not seem to intend to accept it, and he stared coldly at the female mercenary standing outside the cage, as if facts speak louder than words. And this is indeed the case, after hearing this man's words, the attitude of many mercenaries changed, and they changed from their original happiness to some cautiousness. Mary, on the other hand, frowned, and of course she knew why. However, Mary did not remain silent because of this, on the contrary, she finally broke out.
"Why should I be arrested?"
"Huh?"
"Deputy Captain, Captain, you said that our Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment didn't do anything, and was casually captured by the Knights of the End to vent, I don't think that's the case. β
Mary puffed out her chest and looked angrily at the two menβno, these were two cowards to her now.
"I think everyone knows that I'm here now, and I'm in charge of Princess Shirley's guards, so what the Knights of the End are doing, I see it very clearly, you may not know, so I'll tell you that now the Knights of the End are facing off against the Sith Empire in the royal city of Orrut, and the lord is waiting in the army with his men, indeed, I admit that the nobles sometimes do things that are idle and boring. But think about it, in the current situation, because of idle boredom, he was arrested to vent? The lord is not in the twilight forest now, he just wants to vent, so why should he arrest you thousands of miles away? If he is really as bad as you say, then isn't it more reliable for the local people of Orrut to be arrested and vented?"
At this, Mary paused, and then she stared at the regiment commander like a knife. The head of the regiment closed his eyes and did not take Mary's challenge at all.
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, the other mercenaries shouted.
"Mary, don't you believe our leader?"
"Are you still a member of the mercenary group?"
"You shouldn't have come over here and persuaded us of that damn nobleman. β
"You can't be that noble woman!"
"Fuck off, we don't listen to your nonsense!"
β........................β
The mercenaries who were originally more enthusiastic about Mary also changed their position at this moment, although they may have doubts in their hearts, but they don't know the truth after all, so they are very dissatisfied with Mary's sharp accusation of the regiment commander, and now, more people accept the previous judgment, that is, Mary may no longer be a mercenary, but a noble woman. This made them feel that the girl in front of them was so strange that they had no interest in talking to her at all.
"Get out of here, it's our mercenary's business, and it has nothing to do with you, a woman who has been in a noble bed!"
"Do you still have the glory of a mercenary?!"
The glory of the mercenaries?
Hearing this, Mary gritted her teeth and looked at these companions with great anger, did they really mean to say that?
They don't even know what's going on! Why are you talking about me?
Do they really understand what this is for?
Although she was extremely angry in her heart, Mary did not say it in the end, because she knew that even if she said it now, these mercenaries would not believe it.
So she turned her head and left without saying a word, letting the insults and insults ring out behind her.
The girl didn't respond, because she already knew what she was going to do.
She's had enough.
"Miss Mary?"
Walking out of the dungeon, Mary soon saw Charlotte again. The head maid stood quietly at the door, waiting for herself, as she had come.
"Are you done?"
"Yes, Lord Charlotte. β
Mary nodded, then she turned her head and took a deep look inside the dungeon, then she reached out and grasped the doorknob.
Mary then slammed the cell door shut.
"It's over here, and it's time for me to go back to my mission. β
Her expression was very firm, without a hint of hesitation.
By the time Mary returned to the front, it was already the evening of the second day.
However, when she entered Yuren's room, Yuren was still a little surprised by the girl's dress before her, because Mary did not wear the leather armor she often wore, but a very ordinary dress, which was not very beautiful, but it was quite surprising for a person who did not dress up often.
Moreover, Mary was not armed.
"I'm very sorry, my lord. β
She bowed her head deeply.
"I have not been able to complete your orders. β
"No need to apologize to me, Miss Mary. β
Yu Lian put down the information in his hand and looked at the mercenary girl in front of him.
"That's your companions, and I think it must be a very painful thing for you to face them. β
β..................β
Companions?
Hearing Yuren's words, Mary twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly deep inside.
Are they still my companions? Do they still treat me as a companion?
No, I don't think they see it that way anymore.
"Still, I beg you to spare them. β
"It's impossible, Miss Mary. β
As Mary had thought, Julien quickly refuses her request.
"You know, they're a great threat and a lot of harm to my territory, and it's impossible for me to just let them go........."
β............ Of course I understand this, so I'd like to be able to make a deal with you. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yulian narrowed his eyes.
"What deal?"
β............... I will be your woman. β
Mary lowered her head, her face flushed.
"I'll do everything you want, Lord Yuren, I know it's too cheeky for me, but I can't convince them, that's all I can do. Of course, I also understand that with my status and status, it is impossible to ask you to let them go for nothing, so ...... I wish I could be that price. β
What had happened in the dungeon had completely disappointed Mary in her former companions, and in Mary's opinion, it was her last reward for the Blue Feather Mercenaries - after that, they would never have anything to do with each other again.
Mary didn't know if this would work, and she didn't know if Yuren could accept it, she had heard a lot of similar things, after all, there were many good women among the nobles, and there was nothing she could do for Yuren at the moment, especially considering the seriousness of this matter, Mary didn't believe that a mercenary with her level of ability would be able to make a reply and deal that would satisfy Yuren. So, that's the only thing she can do. In fact, the reason that tempted her to do this was also related to her mercenary companions, who had obviously not had anything to do with the lord, nor had she done anything, but she had always been treated coldly like this. Nature can't stand it. It's as if a person is treated as a thief every day, and after a long time, he really becomes a thief -- anyway, whether I steal or not, I will be regarded as a thief by you, so if I don't steal something, won't I be too sorry for the treatment I have been treated?
And now Mary is out of the same mentality. Since I have not done it, and you have already branded me as an aristocratic woman, then I might as well just do it, and I will be able to be more justified in the face of your doubts at that time. And...... If this can save her companion, then Mary doesn't care, not to mention, she herself doesn't have much aversion to being hugged by Yulian.
Frankly, this is not really a rational decision, but more like the result of impulse. But Mary is still a young girl after all, and one of the characteristics of youth is impulsiveness.
β............ You've made up your mind?"
"Yes, Lord Yuren. β
Mary looked up at the young man in front of her, and confessed that she had hesitated before entering the room, after all, what she was about to give was her most precious thing. And whether it was a rational decision to sacrifice for such a reason, in fact, Mary herself was not very clear. But now, there is no turning back for her.
So, she gave up everything and came here.
β.....................β
In the face of Mary's answer, Yuren was silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly.
"So, let me see what you're enlightened. β
β............... Be. β
Mary hesitated at the sound of Julien, but soon she reached out, grabbed the hem of her dress, and slowly lifted it up.
Under the light of the fire, the slender and beautiful long legs of the mercenary girl appeared in front of Yulian like this, she closed her eyes tightly, exposing her most shameful part to the man in front of her, of course she knew what it meant, in fact, Mary didn't know if she could succeed, but for her, there was really no other way.
In the face of Mary's actions, Yulian did not respond immediately, he just sat quietly in his chair, staring at the girl in front of him who was blushing, clenching her teeth, and lifting the hem of her skirt. A pair of slender, toned legs showed a healthy glow in the candlelight, while the girl's body trembled slightly.
She was scared, and Yulian knew that.
Then, he stood up and walked over to the mercenary girl, looking at her face.
It's a little different from what was planned, but it's not bad.
And just as she closed her eyes and trembled, suddenly, Mary felt a pair of warm palms hug her body.
The girl's body tensed up instantly.
Yuren could feel this clearly, and unlike Alnice, it was the reaction of a body that had never been touched by a man. He gently stroked the girl's slender legs, then reached up and took off her coat - the unrestrained breasts jumped out at once, although not very large, but the surname was very good. Feeling Julien's touch, Mary closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and endured the sudden, inexplicable stimulation.
For Yulian, it's a very fresh touch. Mary is different from Shirley and others, those eldest ladies from noble backgrounds have white and tender skin, and they look good at first glance. But Mary is different, as a mercenary who is always on the go, her skin is a healthy color, and because of regular exercise, her body presents a compact texture, if Shirley is the kind of person who feels slender and will break the vase with a force, then it is obvious that the mercenary girl in front of her is a more durable type.
In the dimly lit room, the sound of wheezing soon rang out.
The girl's outfit, half-leaning against the wall, was already in disarray, and she closed her eyes, intoxicated and immersed in the touch of the man in front of her. Clenched her teeth, she endured the pleasure that was strange and exciting to her, and then, her clothes were taken off casually by Yu Lian, revealing her white and delicate body inside.
"Uh......... Lord Yuren......"
"Very well, relax, you're going to be my personal belongings soon. β
The mercenary girl who had been stimulated by pleasure and almost lost her mind didn't really understand the meaning of Yu Lian's words, but this was no longer important to her now, she just instinctively hugged the strong body in front of her, feeling the heat and passion from the man opposite, and at the same time biting her lip, waiting for the stimulation that was absolutely unbearable for her.
Julien's hand roamed and caressed the girl's body, but she didn't act immediately, and just as Mary was about to lose her mind, she heard Julien speak again.
"Miss Mary, you must know the consequences of your doing. β
Soon, the girl felt a hard object pressed against her.
Has it finally come to this point?
The girl closed her eyes, and for a moment, she suddenly became a little nervous, and then, Crowk's face appeared in her mind.
What would Crocker think if he found out about this?
"Won't you regret it?"
"Yes, Lord Yuren, I ............"
At this, Mary paused.
"No regrets. β
Mary didn't have time to think about it.
Because in the next instant, the pain of piercing the body came to her, completely cutting the last thread of reason in the girl's brain.
All she could do was hug the man in front of her and shout.
