Chapter 161: The Girl's Thoughts
"Helena, water is needed here!"
"Okay, I'll be right here."
In the makeshift station of a border castle, a young girl carried a bucket of water to and from the camps, because it was close to the sea, and from time to time a cold sea breeze blew the girl's face red.
But the girl didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, she exhaled white air, trying to make herself as fast as possible.
This girl is the girl that Boris rescued, and she has a very nice name, Helena.
Naturally, there was no way to allow a guy in the team to be a nuisance and a burden, so she was assigned to be in charge of logistics, even though she was not very old.
But even so, Helena was very content, the work assigned to her was not too tiring, her physique was barely competent, at least she worked here, her food was sufficient, not to mention that she was full of food and drink, but the basic needs of life were okay.
It was much better than in her days in exile, when food was a talisman and she even wanted to end her life when she was hungry.
But whenever she eats food here, she thinks of her grandmother, who even sacrificed herself to protect her, which always makes her sad.
If she could, how Helena would like to enjoy such a life with her grandmother, it would be the greatest happiness of her life.
It's a pity that there is nothing, if she can only be alone in the days to come, but she is not afraid, because she met that person, the knight who saved her on a horse in a desperate situation, and Helena will never forget the demeanor of that time.
And that person took good care of her during this time, and Helena felt great warmth from him.
When she came here to inquire, she realized how prominent the knight who had saved her in the first place was.
It was the leader of a knight order, often appearing as a knight of the inner palace next to the earl, such an identity was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes, she was just a commoner, and even now, a commoner may not be counted, the identities of the two sides are simply very different, which makes Helena very disappointed.
Helena herself didn't know why she was lost, but when she thought about it, her heart always felt a clench, a feeling she had never experienced before.
"Please hurry, Miss Helena." A shout pulled Helena back to reality, and she lifted the wooden bucket in her hand, and the bucket full of water was indeed a little heavy.
Having finally finished her work, Helena was relieved that her work was over for the time being, and at least she would have a brief time to relax for the next few hours.
After receiving her own brown bread, Helena found a corner where there were no people and ate it.
Brown bread is actually not delicious, at least Carl can't swallow that kind of hard and unpalatable thing, he doesn't know why it can be spread so widely, maybe it's just because it's cheap, after all, food is a very precious thing in this era, even if it's a black bread.
So Carl often sighed to himself, fortunately he had crossed over, it was a squire's home, if he had been a peasant or a homeless or something, let alone become an earl by now, he might have starved to death on the side of the road.
But it was such a black bread, and Helena ate it with relish, and it seemed to her that it was the most delicious thing in the world, and she did not know what the nobles were eating, she had not seen it at all, and perhaps it was just white bread.
"Are you still used to life here?"
At this moment, a voice startled Helena.
"Thank you for your concern, I am doing very well, in fact I have never had such a good life as during this time." Helena quickly stood up and wiped her hands on her apron, as if trying to wipe the stains off her hands.
"That's good." Boris nodded, he didn't come by the way, after all, it was the girl he brought back, he couldn't bring it back and ignore it, although no one would say anything that way, but he always felt that it wasn't good, so he planned to come to see Helena's life, but he was quite relieved to see him so far, although he knew that this girl could not get out of her grief so quickly, but seeing that she could live a normal life, presumably the old man could also be happy.
The sparse topic cooled the atmosphere all at once, and some only a few birds would chirp as they flew by.
"Knight, can you tell me your name?" Helena said suddenly, her heart was pounding at this moment, Helena didn't know why she asked such a question, in fact she must know Boris's name, after all, Boris's name is not a secret, during this time she inquired about not only Boris's identity, but I don't know why, Helena just wanted to hear Boris's mouth tell her his name......
"Ah, didn't I tell you? Maybe I forgot, I'm Boris Nell, you can call me Boris, I prefer the previous name. Boris smiled and said that as a nobleman, he was very approachable.
"Mr. Boris......" Helena muttered several times, her eyes had a different color, and she was excited like a child, or rather she was a child.
"Thank you very much, Lord Boris, I have always wanted to thank you, thank you for saving me." Helena twisted her apron a little awkwardly, but she did her best to make a polite gesture.
"Don't thank me, all this is what I should do, it is the duty of the Lord."
"No matter what, it's because of your arrival, I won't ......" seemed to think of the scene at that time, Helena was a little speechless.
"I accept your thanks, please forget all the previous things." When Boris saw this, he immediately thought of the scene at that time, and he naturally knew what would happen next if he didn't arrive at that time, it would be hell for a young girl.
Helena breathed a sigh of relief and slapped her face with both hands to calm herself down.
"I ...... I ......" She seemed to want to say something.
"What?" Boris was a little confused.
Helena's face flushed, and sure enough, she couldn't calm down at all.
"Just say that...... Helena whispered in her heart.
She jerked her head up, as if she had made up her mind, but the next moment she met Boris's eyes, and in an instant her brain was like a steam train.
"Ahhhh
Looking at Helena, who was running away, Boris scratched his head, he didn't know what was happening.
"Maybe you want to go to the bathroom?" Boris guessed inexplicably, and then he also left, seeing that the other party had adapted to life here, and there was no need for him to stay here.
