Chapter 195: Red Apricot (I)
"No. Can you just go by yourself I let Shabid ride ten to accompany you The demon army of the three stones is not often in the vicinity anymore Sir Demerka is still a little uneasy.
"Father, I am now a third-level warrior, and I am about to reach the fourth level, it shouldn't be a big problem to protect my little sister, besides, I will bring a few guards with me to the city this time, and you can rest assured that you will be accompanied by them.
The situation has now stabilized relatively well. There are also troops patrolling the road, and even if there is any problem, it is easy to solve. Now is the time to employ people at home, and it would be more appropriate for Knight Sabid to stay at home. Owenna considerately declined her father's offer.
Seeing that the eldest daughter had to insist on going by herself. And what he said was very reasonable, and Sir Demerka had no choice but to agree. It was late December. The sun was shining, but the weather was unusually cold, and gusts of cold wind were constantly blowing on people's robes. I can't help but want to wrap up my clothes.
The snow on the road has not completely melted. The black earth, bare in the middle of the white snow, is unusually striking.
"Miss, you are one. I'll go with you, too!"
Knight Sabid sent Owenna and her party to the junction, and until this time, he was still a little worried, and once again proposed that he escort the eldest lady to the city.
"It's okay, Knight Shabid. Go back, I'll be careful myself" Owenna smiled faintly, she understood his kindness.
Because she has lived together since Bu, she also knows some of the other party's thoughts, but she has always known what she wants, so she can only say sorry for the other party's concern.
Shabid's heart was gloomy, but he still had an indifferent smile on his face: "Since this is the case, then Miss your heart."
"I will, you can go back. Owenna nodded.
Then, with a wave of the whip. The white steed she was riding suddenly started running, her hair fluttering in the wind, and that look was really heroic and charming.
The cavalrymen who followed beside her, when they saw her riding away, also urged their horses to follow.
Knight Sabid watched the bright figure fade away for a long time, until the people were too far away to be seen, he withdrew his gaze, and then couldn't help but sigh again. Shabid has liked this beautiful lady since he was a child, and her gentleness, heroism, and beauty have made him very obsessed.
In the past, he knew who he was. Even if he is the chief knight of the family, he wants to marry a knight's daughter, although it is not wishful thinking, but it is also a little difficult.
The chasm between the minor nobles and the commoners does not seem to be so big, and only those who go to the side of the ditch will know that it is this small ditch. But not everyone can easily cross the past.
Now, he has become a knight, his status is only slightly lower than that of Sir Dimerka, and he is also worthy of Owenna, but at this time, it is impossible to be together because the person Owena likes is not him.
"Romon is a, a rare lord, you should be happy with him, right?" Looking in the direction of the Tertashaw leader, Shabid was stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself.
The sun was shining, but his mood was just a sadness.
Finally, he smiled slightly wryly.
In fact, after becoming a knight, he did hesitate.
Joining Romon's side, as a matter of course, only Romon can provide a knight hereditary domain.
Coming back with Sir Demoka, even his family didn't understand, after all, Ser Demoka himself had at most a half-knight domain, and he had a son, even if he married Owenna, it was unlikely that he would pass on the territory to him.
But, for the sake of this, small,
He smiled wryly, no matter what. He is already a family person, although his wife died of illness early, but he also has a son. Since it's impossible, bury it in your heart!
Perhaps, it's time to go to Romon there.
If Romon marries Owena, of course he will guard her as a knight, and if not, he can also guard her as a knight!
Thinking of this, he twisted the horse and went back silently.
At this time, Owenna, who was leading people to the city, was also in a good mood, and she rode her favorite white horse, urging the horse forward in the winter sun. Along the way, you will often encounter some patrolling human armies, and under the protection of these armies, the number of people traveling has also begun to increase
Not far from the city, people began to get busy, and those were the people who were rebuilding their homes, after the situation was relatively stable. In the area far away from the demons, they began to repair and rebuild.
After all, the spring of the next year is the season for sowing, if you can't get the field in time. Then, there will be no grain harvest in the coming year. This is an absolute fatal blow to farmers who depend on the land as their source of livelihood.
"As long as there is hope, human beings can live forever, and wars, destroying houses, trees, killing relatives and friends, cannot erase the optimism and strength in human nature. Life, after all, still has to rely on your own efforts. "Look at the unpretentious faces. Owenna was a little emotional.
After another journey, the city of Apsis arrived. Ten places. Quite a few soldiers were checking on the pedestrians. Because of the war, small goods are scarce, so. Smuggling began to appear frequently. In order to combat this behavior, the number of soldiers defending the city has increased considerably, and the number of female attendants to check female pedestrians has also been increased.
"I'm sorry, but I'm asking this young lady to cooperate
Owenna was riding her horse to enter the door when a waitress stopped her way.
The soldier beside Owenna suddenly glared at him and said coldly: "We belong to Sir Daimerka's family, and this is the eldest lady of my family, Miss Owenna." As he spoke, a group of people appeared
Portion.
See these. The attendant hurriedly moved out of the way, apologizing to Owenna and letting the group go.
The reason for this contrast is due to Owenna's aristocratic status.
In a world of strict hierarchies, a nobleman and a commoner are treated very differently. Moreover, this difference is widely accepted. If one day, a nobleman is treated the same way as a commoner, then everyone should be surprised.
The inspectors at the city gate intercepted those low-status small merchants and civilian smugglers, even if there were really nobles to smuggle, they were not in control, let alone dare to manage.
Therefore, as soon as Owenna and her party revealed their identities, they naturally didn't dare to check again
。
Ou Jiana was also used to this kind of treatment, so naturally she would not be surprised, she was surprised by the atmosphere in the city now. It's really weird.
There are not many ordinary people walking on the streets, but they are still very lively, and I see gorgeous carriages passing through the streets, and every car passes, there will be the smell of fat powder wafting in the wind, and now the city of Aps has become a world of women.
"What's going on?. This situation made Owenna feel very puzzling. 'Miss. Shall we go directly to the young master's mansion?" asked one of the attendants respectfully.
"You go first, I'll go and find out the situation, and then I'll arrive, let the second lady pack up her things, and wait for me to pass." We'll go back to the territory. Owenna shook the whip in her hand and said
"Yes, Miss". The attendants respectfully agreed.
Owenna split up with them, and instead of rushing directly to the little sister, she wandered around the city for a while. "I can't do it if I don't go, why do we have to do this, don't we even have the right to choose? I don't want to marry those people!,
A woman's grumbling came from the passing carriage, and Owenna sounded familiar.
It seemed to be Sly's voice, "Where is she going?" Looking in the direction in which the carriage was drifting away, Owenna's heart became puzzled.
Sly, a close friend of hers, got married last year. The husband is a lord, has a territory of his own, and his appearance is quite good, and their life is good.
Owenna hadn't seen Slye in a while. Hearing the words that floated just now, she couldn't help but be curious, and as soon as she urged the horse, she chased in the direction of the carriage.
The carriage in front of him was not very fast, and after only a moment, Owenna had already caught up with the carriage. Keep a certain distance from the carriage one after the other.
She wanted to see what trouble Slay had and why she had said it that way
come
To her surprise, the carriage turned around and stopped in front of the Goddess of Love church.
Owenna didn't take the reins of the horse and let the horse walk slowly. Far away, she saw. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a young woman came out of it, accompanied by a middle-aged woman.
Although it was a little far away, she still recognized that the young * woman was her best friend Sly, and the middle-aged woman who followed Slay looked like Sly's mother.
"What are they doing here?" Although she rarely came to the Goddess of Love Church, it didn't mean that Owenna didn't know the situation here, she frowned and wanted to leave.
Just then, another carriage came around the corner, and the man sitting in the carriage saw Owenna on the side of the road at a glance.
"Is Miss Owenna in front?" a slender hand gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage also stopped at this time, and the woman inside showed a smile to Owenna, mature, with the charm of a middle-aged woman.
"Hello Mrs. Perry, it's Mrs. Perry, who is in charge of etiquette, Owena replied politely.
"How. Are you here alone?" said Mrs. Perry, glancing at it
。
"Oh, that's right. I happened to be passing by here, and I thought that I hadn't been to church for a long time, so I was hesitant to go in and I was embarrassed to say that I was following someone else, and Owenna passed by a little vaguely.
"I see0" Mrs. Perry thought for a moment and smiled. "Then you can go in with me, there should be a lot of your friends in there.
Thinking of the Sly she had just seen, Owenna nodded and agreed.
