As the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the alley, the serfs on both sides quickly closed the door of their dilapidated houses, and then cautiously leaned against the window to secretly look at Thomas and the others.

"That's the castle steward, right?"

"Finally here, I know that the Jim family can't hide today, it's also their bad luck, they didn't hold a wedding a few days ago, but they chose today, the lord didn't come back a few days ago, but today he happened to be bumped into by the lord, how can he hide!"

"Shhhh

"It's not to blame the Jim family, the main thing is that the girl's parents refused to make a decision in advance, the Jim family's field was harvested only the day before yesterday, and then the gift money was made up with grain, and the wedding was held in only two days, which is already the fastest, but I didn't expect the lord to come back at this time, if only it was a day late."

"Hey, Jim's family is just the first, and it will be like it is now!"

The serfs in the room were secretly looking at Thomas and the others, and they were talking in a whisper, obviously they had guessed what Thomas and the others were doing here.

"This is it, right? Go up and call the door! ”

Thomas looked at the tables and chairs at the door, although the tables and chairs were already packed, but from the flowers used to decorate the door, it was clear that this was the one who was holding the wedding today.

"Open the door! Open the door! Thomas the Butler is here! ”

Thomas and Audri all rolled out of their horses, and one of the guards, with the sword at his waist, began to bang the door at Thomas's instructions.

Squeak~

With the guards' rude knocking and shouting, the door of the humble wooden house was finally opened, and a middle-aged woman with a frightened face stepped inside.

"My lord! My lord! Good luck! Villain: Here is 1 silver coin and 20 copper plates, please be generous! ”

The middle-aged woman apparently knew what Thomas and the others were doing here.

When their wedding was seen by the lord in the afternoon, everyone expected this moment.

It's just that there was still a trace of luck, but now with the arrival of Thomas and others, the last trace of luck is gone.

"It's not up to us to decide, the principality naturally has the laws of the principality, call that girl out!"

Thomas saw a silver coin and a handful of paulownia in the middle-aged woman's hand, but he stepped forward and shook his head at her, and persuaded her in a gentle tone.

"In the past, the Storm Lords didn't have lords, but now that they have lords, it is the lord's power to exercise the power of the first night, and it's the same in other territories!"

"Adult ......"

For the lord's right, of course, the middle-aged woman knew that in the past, it was only because the Storm Territory was remote, and the Earl was in charge of this territory, of course, there was no such thing, but now that there is a real lord, of course they can't escape this provision.

The middle-aged woman pinched the silver coin and copper plate in her hand with a pained look on her face, but in the end, she was finally forced by a few guards who were eyeing her, and resigned herself to getting out of the way, this law had been in force on the mainland for hundreds of years, and it was obvious that she knew that she could not resist.

"Get in! Bring that girl out! ”

When Thomas saw the appearance of the middle-aged woman, he knew that she would not stop it anymore, after all, the consequences would be lost, as if he was rebelling, Thomas did not delay any longer, and ordered to several guards.

"Yes, Butler Thomas!"

Several of the guards pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords at their waists, and walked slightly vigilantly into the dimly lit wooden house.

"Ah...... No...... I don't want to go to the castle ......."

Soon, not long after several guards poured into the cabin, a girl's cry was heard inside.

Hearing the movement inside, Thomas frowned slightly, and walked through the door with Audrey into the cabin.

Although the room was a wooden house, the space inside was quite spacious, and at this moment two guards were grabbing a young woman's wrists and trying to pull them outside, but the woman was crying and struggling.

If Gervais were here, he would definitely feel that this scene would look like a scene in a film and television drama robbing a people's girl.

"Abi! Help me, I don't want to go to the castle! ”

The young woman kept struggling, although because of the special situation, the two guards did not dare to pull with great force, for fear of hurting the woman, but the woman's body was still slowly pulled by the two silent guards towards the door.

The woman's strength gradually ran out, and seeing that she was about to be pulled to the door of the wooden house, she shouted to a young man behind her in some despair!

"Lily! Yes! ”

The young man had already been told by his mother that he could not resist, but at this moment, when he heard Lily calling his name desolately, he finally aroused the blood in his heart, and suddenly picked up the stone used as a stove on the side, and shouted and attacked the guards in front.

"Abi don't!"

The middle-aged woman standing at the door, wiping her tears, was frightened when she saw her son's actions, and shouted bitterly, apparently she could foresee that his son would die under the guard's sword in the next moment.

Choke ~ choke ~

In the face of Ade's violent resistance, the heavily armed guards were of course not afraid, and the sound of the long sword coming out of the sheath instantly sounded in the room, and the two guards who were on guard in the rear did not hesitate to raise their long swords and slash towards Abi who was attacking them.

"Don't kill him!"

Syllable! Syllable!

At this critical moment, it was Butler Thomas who suddenly shouted, and the two guards who drew their swords heard Thomas's words, and immediately spun the blade of the sword, transforming it from a sharp edge into a spine.

The two sword spines slapped Abi's face and abdomen respectively, and instantly slapped him back several steps and sat on the ground, if it weren't for Thomas's shout, Abi would have been in a different place at this moment.

When Abi sat down on the ground, two guards quickly stepped forward and put the long sword in their hands on his neck!

"My lord, my lord, spare my life! Abi is still young and ignorant, the adults spare their lives, and the villain's money is asked to be taken by the adults to buy some delicious food, which is counted as compensation, and bypass my children! ”

Seeing that the guards did not kill him, Abi's mother finally recovered a little, and quickly ran to Abi's side, kneeling on the ground and pleading with Thomas and the others.

"I'm willing to go, you let Abi ......"

When the young woman saw her lover's appearance at this moment, she finally knew that she had almost killed him, and her face was full of tears and she didn't dare to struggle anymore.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the young woman was no longer struggling, and that his purpose had been achieved, Thomas gave an order to several of the guards, and then walked out of the cabin with a woman named Lily with a few guards.

"Lily!"

Abi in the house still wanted to get up, but he was held down by his mother.

After walking out of the cabin, Lily was mounted on a horse by two guards, but at this moment Lily was obviously wooden, but her eyes were red and she did not move, and she did not run or shout.

Thomas and Audri rode on their horses without saying anything after leaving the house, obviously the feelings of the two were also complicated, but the law of this world is like this, and it is considered a mercy that they did not kill the young serf who dared to resist today.

As a castle steward, these were the things that Thomas needed to do, and he had learned them when he was trained as a steward at Rose Castle, but it was the first time he had completed such a task, and he was obviously not happy in his heart.

With that done, Thomas and Audrey took the lead in urging their horses out of the alley, the carriage creaking behind them, and the other three guards riding to the end to prevent Lily from escaping.
