"I'm back with my mother, and even though I'm still young, I'm still able to do some simple things, and even if I leave my hometown again, we're barely able to survive with each other. Naturally, I was not willing to take that path, but our mother and daughter were powerless to resist, and I had to learn the mess from the people they sent, but I still practiced martial arts desperately in secret, because this is the only way to protect myself. ”

"Later, my mother was finally gone. I had lost my only relative, and I wanted to leave that damned place, but my mother was buried there, and I could not abandon her, and she was already miserable alone, so how could I let her be far from her home after death? ”

"In order to survive well, I practiced martial arts even harder, and finally three months after my mother's death, I picked up a wooden stick and became an adventurer. That year, I was 16 years old. ”

Vivien let out a long sigh as she said this, a slight mist appeared in her eyes, Ryan gently patted her shoulder to show sympathy for her, and Vivien waved her hand vigorously, as if to expel her past experiences from her mind.

After doing this, Vivien changed her tone and said to Ryan, "This is really a stinky, long, and boring story, isn't it?"

Ryan didn't say anything, just shook her head slowly, Vivien understood what Ryan was trying to express, her heart was wide, and she continued to speak: "It's been 10 years, it's been 10 years. A young girl, who is in a mixed group of mercenaries, naturally does not need to be detailed, but I survived. Every year I would go back to the place where my mother was laid to rest, and then tell her very carefully about my experience of the year, and then proudly tell her that I am doing well now and have not followed her old path. ”

When Vivien said this, the tone and words of her speech were slightly aggravated, as if she was emphasizing something for Ryan, Ryan's heart moved slightly, and she also had some understanding of Vivian's implied meaning, but it was naturally impossible for the two of them to say this kind of thing to their faces, so Ryan still quietly listened to Vivien tell herself.

"It's almost my mother's death day, and even if Uncle Bill doesn't come to me, I'll go back. But all of a sudden, I was a little scared, and I didn't know how to face my mother. I've survived the previous 10 years, but what if I'm okay? Will I survive like this for the rest of my life? Now I'm young, I'm in good health, and I can fight, but what will happen when I'm old? Also, Paul, that bastard, is not good to me, but after all, he's mine...... For so many years, as long as I could get a lot of money back every year, he would ignore me, and Toby's bastard ......"

Vivien's emotions began to light up again as she said this: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's not right to describe Toby as a bastard, because it would tarnish the word bastard! He's a bastard guy who's older than his father was when he was younger, Paul is not young, and he's not in good health, and it's been Toby who has been handling the family's affairs for the last few years, do you know what this bastard's first thing is?"

"I guess it's probably an increase in taxes, right?" Ryan thought for a moment, thinking about all the situations that could be thought of in his mind, and then said what he thought was the most serious, but Vivien laughed contemptuously, and she said to Ryan: "If you come to be this lord, those people in the realm will wake up laughing in their dreams!"

"Oh, what's that?" Ryan didn't expect that what he thought was the most serious thing would actually be the greatest favor for those people, but he became a little interested, so he asked, "Is it more serious than this?"

"Serious?" Vivien smiled contemptuously again: "That bastard who is more obscene than a pig and more vicious than a devil, the first thing he did after becoming a vicarious lord was to promulgate the law of 'First Night Power', and the people in the entire Emilio family's territory, on the night of their wedding, women are not allowed to have sex with their husbands, but can only serve that obscene, shameless, filthy, and vicious bastard!"

"What?" Ryan suddenly stood up when he heard Vivien's words, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing, for Ryan, it was simply incredible, he grabbed Vivien's arm and shouted vigorously, "What did you say?"

"Ah, you're hurting people. Vivien's hands hurt, despite the armor protection made by the poisonous manticore, she still screamed, and Ryan also found out that he was out of shape because of Vivian's voice, he quickly let go of the hand that grabbed Vivian, and whispered: "I'm sorry, but is this true? How can this be? Is there no one to resist?"

"Hmph!" Vivien's face was full of disgust, and her tone was full of helplessness: "How to resist? The lord has the only army in the entire territory, and resistance can only be death! And even if the people in the territory flee, as long as they are caught, no one can shelter them, this is a law promulgated by an idiot 200 years ago!"

"That, that......" Ryan only felt that his mind was in chaos, he never dreamed that there would be such a shameless thing happening on this continent, when he thought of Luke and Orlando working so hard to govern this country, and the people of the country had to endure such a shameful thing, Ryan had only one thought in his heart: "Have all their efforts become meaningless?"

"Over the years, no more than 20 men and women have been married in the entire territory, and none of their first children have anything to do with their fathers. Vivien spoke again: "Paul once reprimanded Toby for this, after all, these people and their descendants are the foundation of the family. But do you know what Toby did? He enacted another law that every woman who is not married by the age of 25 automatically becomes Toby's female slave!"

"Boom!" Ryan smashed the wooden table in the room with a punch, and the table furnishings fell to the ground and became a mess. And Vivien was also taken aback by Ryan's actions, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Vivien would never have believed that it was the result of a magician not using magic.

"What are you going to do?" Ryan calmed down after venting some of his anger in his heart, and he said to Vivien lightly, "Tell me your plan." ”

"Come with me back and pay homage to my mother, after Paul's death, my mother's situation and I will be even more difficult, this is the last time I will go back, and when I leave, I will take her with me. Obviously, Toby wouldn't agree, because he had already planned to marry me to another family a few years ago, and he was planning to marry the daughter of the head of that family. If I could, I would even like to go back with an army, but unfortunately, the only thing I can rely on now is you. ”

Ryan looked at Vivien with a pleading look in her eyes, and opened her mouth to say only four words: "As you wish." ”
