Just glancing lightly, Claire didn't move, and then saw a little girl running over from nowhere, holding the lamb in her arms, and looking at herself vigilantly.

It was a six- or seven-year-old girl with long brown hair and a somewhat pale complexion, who looked a little malnourished, but from her bright eyes and delicate face, it could still be seen that she would definitely be a beautiful embryo in the future.

But Claire is not a lolicon, so she doesn't have bad thoughts about a little girl.

"Hello." Claire smiled a friendly smile and waved in greeting.

But the girl was timid, and didn't dare to say hello to Claire, just looked at Claire with her big smart eyes, but she wasn't so vigilant, this big brother didn't look like he was here to steal his lamb.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Claire continued to maintain a friendly smile: "My name is Claire, what's your name?" ”

The girl looked down at the sheep in her hand, then at Claire, and finally lowered her head and said in a very small voice, "Melly." ”

The voice was so small that if Claire hadn't listened carefully, she wouldn't have been able to hear it, but since the other party was willing to tell her name, she could be regarded as having a little affection for herself.

After all, Claire's original owner is not bad, and with his friendly smile, it is normal for a little girl to have a good impression of him.

Tentatively took a few steps forward, but the other party didn't run away, and Claire slowly walked to the position in front of Melly.

Half squatted down, took out a candy wrapped in colored candy paper from his arms, and handed it over: "Is this candy for you to eat?" ”

You can see that Melly's throat subconsciously swallowed saliva, although she has also eaten sugar, but it is some black brown sugar, she has never seen such colorful candy.

And she hasn't been able to eat a few brown sugar on weekdays, so this colorful candy must be many times better than brown sugar.

Although her head was still hesitating, Melly's little hand unconsciously stretched out, and her smart eyes were full of longing.

"Melly! Don't take it! A shout suddenly sounded, and a boy taller than Claire ran from a distance, pulled Melly out of front of Claire at once, and slapped Claire's colorful candy to the ground.

Crane pulled his sister out of the way for several meters at once, and then hid Melly behind him, looking at Claire in front of him with a wary expression.

Claire shook her aching wrist, the other party's slap just now was too strong, and it really hurt him.

But he didn't care, this was just a brother who loved his sister, and he wasn't so small-bellied.

"Didn't I tell you, Merry, don't eat strangers' things." At this time, Crane did not forget to tell his sister.

However, Melly didn't seem to pay attention to him, but looked at the colorful candy that was slapped on the ground with a distressed face, and licked her lips, even brown sugar she hadn't eaten for months.

Claire notices Melly's gaze and picks up the candy that has been slapped off, wrapped in candy wrappers, even if it falls to the ground.

didn't care, Claire directly tore open the candy paper and put the candy inside into her mouth.

At this time, even Crane couldn't help but swallow his saliva, let alone Melly behind him, and his saliva was about to flow out.

"Look, the candy I gave her is fine." Claire explained, "How old are you? ”

The reason why I asked this was because the other party's majestic height of more than 1.9 meters actually had a delicate face that looked not very old, so Claire couldn't judge the other party's age for a while, and she said hello and pulled the relationship in.

Although Crane remained vigilant, he replied, "I'm sixteen years old. ”

Claire nodded slightly, well, the same age as me, he is actually a head taller than me, and the strength just now is quite big.

But this is normal, he is a junior magician, and he will only compete with those warriors in height and muscle when he has cerebral palsy.

"Are you a knight?" Claire continued.

"No, I'm not even a trainee knight right now." Crane shook his head, but his eyes were full of hope, "But I will definitely become a great knight in the future!" ”

"Oh!" Claire was a little curious when she heard what the other party said, so she asked, "Why?" ”

"Because after becoming a knight, the people in the family will be able to eat enough, and the conditions at home will be better."

Speaking of such a simple wish, Crane's face blushed a little, but it was indeed his wish, and he had been working hard for it.

At this time, Claire found out that even this person's tall brother had a pale face and was in a state of malnutrition like his sister.

After a moment of silence, Claire smiled again, "Your wish is great, and it will definitely come true in the future." ”

"Really?" Crane became a little excited when he was encouraged.

"Well, I don't know if you can become a knight, but you can eat well." Claire said softly, there was a saying in her previous life, isn't the most important thing in a person's life to eat well?

Now that he has become lord of the territory, he is obligated to feed his people.

"What about my dreams? Isn't it great too? Crane asked, in the past, when he spoke about his dreams, he would be ridiculed by others, but it seemed that the person in front of him was different.

"I think it's great, isn't it the greatest thing to be able to protect my family?"

"Hmm!" Crane nodded vigorously.

Claire took out two more colored candies from her arms as if by magic, and asked with a smile, "Then do you want to eat candy now?" ”

Crane was still a little hesitant, although the big brother in front of him didn't look like a bad person, but his mother had told him not to take strangers' things indiscriminately.

Claire couldn't laugh or cry, how could she be so much like a bad guy kidnapping a child now.

"Crane, where are you Melly?"

A shout came from nowhere, echoing through the wheat field.

"Mom, we're here." My sister jumped up and waved.

Soon a woman ran over, grabbed her sister in her arms, and protected Crane, who was much taller than her, and looked at Claire with a wary expression.

"Uh-uh......" Claire stopped talking, why was it so hard to give herself a piece of candy.

My sister came to an older brother, and my brother came to my mother, so shouldn't my father come next?

Before Claire could speak, the woman took her child by the hand and withdrew, keeping her eyes on Claire lest he do anything.

Obviously, he is very jealous of outsiders.

It was at this time that Reagan also came to him.

"Young Master, where are you? It's time to go. Reagan shouted, but before Claire could respond, he found it.

trotted all the way over, stood behind Claire respectfully, and just wanted to open his mouth to persuade Claire, but he saw the mother and son on the other side.

Reagan subconsciously frowned, "Young Master, how can you talk to these cheap ...... Civilians are here. Halfway through that, Reagan thought of what Claire had just said and immediately changed his tune.

"Who are you! Why you should come here. When the woman saw Reagan coming, she became more vigilant, and picked up a stone from the ground and pointed it at them.

Reagan was furious, pointed at the three people opposite and scolded: "Do you know who he is!" This is the only heir to the Griffins, you unattainable nobles! You actually dared to hold a stone and aim it at the young master! ”

Reagan tried to continue, but Claire waved to stop him.

Claire could see that after Reagan revealed her identity, the woman's expression changed drastically, from the original wariness to fear, and the fear on her face could be felt with her own eyes.

"Plop!"

The woman immediately dropped the stone in her hand and fell to her knees with her son and daughter in her arms, looking extremely humble.

Claire flashed to the side, and pulled Reagan over by the way, because it was a death to be bowed down in his hometown for no reason, and he had not yet adapted to the status of the nobility here.

"Noble lord, we are almost ready to pay our taxes this month, please forgive us a few days." The woman pleaded bitterly, how could there be the fierce appearance of protecting her children just now.

The humble, undignified appearance made Claire feel a little awkward and uncomfortable, and then looked at the two children who were pulled to their knees by the woman.

In the normal eyes of the two, after knowing that he was a noble viscount, they suddenly became afraid, and their younger sister curled up and squeezed into their mother's arms, without the agility when they first came into contact with Claire, and all that was left was boundless fear.

The woman didn't dare to raise her head, she kept kneeling on the ground, and begged again, "Please don't raise taxes again, otherwise our family won't survive." ”

Claire looked at the mother and son in front of her, her heart trembled, and the expression on her face immediately became cold.

He really couldn't bear to look at such a humble and bone-deep miserable situation, and after a moment of silence, he turned his head and left, he didn't want to see such a scene, and he didn't want to be worshiped by the three of them like this.

"Reagan, give them ten silver coins."

Although Reagan was puzzled, after seeing his young master walk away, he still took out ten silver coins from his arms and threw them on the ground.

"This is the young master's reward for you, why don't you hurry up and say thank you!"

"Thank you! Thank you! The woman thanked her for her succession.

After Claire walked away, she took her child's hand and stood up.
