Chapter 7 Sister, come and help me carry this big black cauldron
In the Yangyan Empire, the titles are ranked according to the order of the dukes and viscounts, among which the most powerful dukes have always been canonized only by members of the royal family, and the position of the marquis has always been hereditary by the families of the three founding fathers, so for the average nobleman, being able to become an earl can be regarded as a very human minister.
"The hosts. ”
Pushing open the heavy wooden door two highs, you are greeted by a richly decorated living room, a large room with a sumptuous mahogany four-poster bed in the center, a canopy woven of black silk and fine yarn hanging from the corners of the bed, obscuring the pink-haired girl sitting on a velvet mattress. On the walls of the four rooms hang portraits of men and women one after another, and it is not difficult to tell from the style of the portraits that these portraits were made by various artists of different eras with very different skills. The spacious floor of the room is filled with all kinds of collectibles like a warehouse, whether it's a full-body plate that can be used as a mirror when it's been wiped, or a sword that can feel the chill seeping out of it even when it's inserted into a well-made scabbard. Both the portraits and the collections were rare treasures when viewed at their own, but now they were piled up in an orderly manner like the rotten cabbage on the vegetable stall set up by a farmer in front of the city gate, giving the impression that all that was left was clutter and a deep disgust for the storeroom-like room.
"Who is it?"
Hearing Amber's soft call, the pink-haired girl who was originally sitting with her back to the door slowly turned her head, although it was impossible to see her expression at the moment because of the black veil, but it was not difficult to guess from the undisguised expression of despair on her face from the undisguised voice.
"It's my host, the guest you brought has woken up. ”
Letting go of her lean body, Amber showed Nagi, who was curiously looking at her after her, to the pink-haired girl she called her master.
"Roast a cow for our guests. ”
With a cold tone that seemed to reject people thousands of miles away, the pink-haired girl said insincerely, although she said that she would entertain Nagi with high etiquette, but she couldn't hear the slightest sincerity between the lines.
"We've been out of food for days, master. ”
Instead of conveying the pink-haired girl's order, Amber stood upright, stuck on the ground like a flagpole, and replied in a tone full of regret.
"Ah, really? Then tell Lisa to hurry up and go shopping. ”
Turning her head back against the wall, the pink-haired girl quietly looked up at the portraits placed in the center of the room, not taking Amber's report to heart at all, and commanded lightly.
"Lisa asked you a month ago to go back to her hometown. ”
However, Amber was still unable to carry out her master's new instructions, and she stood still, keeping her movements, and replied calmly.
"What? Then tell Mr. George to get a new cook. ”
This time, the pink-haired girl's tone carried a hint of anger, as if she felt quite faceless about the resignation of her cook.
"George...... George had passed away in his room last night. ”
Amber still kept her straight movements, but Nagi saw two lines of tears uncontrollably running down her eyes, wetting the black veil that covered her face.
"Ah, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and slaughter a cow for our guests. ”
As if she hadn't heard what Amber was saying, the pink-haired girl's question returned to the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion again, and no matter how many times Amber answered her, she was always circulating her question, and other than that, no matter what Amber and Nagi said to her, she just quietly looked up at the portrait above her head, silent like a wax figure.
"As you can see, the master, she, has gone mad. ”
Closing the door, Amber turned around and said apologetically to Nagi.
"What the hell is going on! What is the curse of the Earl of Glamorgan!
Nagi grabbed Amber by the collar and pulled the skinny maid lady in front of her with almost no effort, obviously in such a great despair, why didn't she have the slightest desire to call for help?
"This is the depths of the sunset grassland thousands of miles away from the grain production area, there are no residents, and the surrounding territory is full of horse bandits and monsters, the county of Glamorgan, the people who are named the earls of Glamorgan have two choices, one, give up their nobility and leave with dignity, and second, starve to death on this isolated island-like death land. ”
Even though she was being dragged by Nagi, there was still not a single fluctuation in Amber's eyes, and she lifted her veil, revealing her skeletal face once again in front of Nagi, which was only covered in a thin layer of skin.
"I have not eaten a grain of rice for two weeks, and Mr. George, who was mentioned earlier, in order to take care of me and my master, has been starved to death here yesterday by drinking water, and yes, all the servants here have gone to death, and even if all the remaining food is left to the master, we were still out of food yesterday, and if you can do it, take the master and leave. If not, get out of here and get on your horse and run for two days and nights with your back to the Sunset Mountains, and you'll probably see people. ”
"You, you're hungry!?"
Nagi let go of her grip on Amber, and the hand around her neckline looked up tremblingly, looking at the shriveled face that had once frightened her, not by some curse, but by starvation.
"That's right, in fact, even if we had the money and energy to buy it, no one would sell us food, after all, this is Glamorgan. ”
Amber repeatedly mentions the name Glamorgan, and although Nagi has never heard of this territory set up in such a desolate place, Nagi can guess the general meaning of Glamorgan from Amber's words.
"That fellow, is she a nobleman who was canonized here by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and she's the so-called Lord Earl of Glamorgan, right!?"
Nagi had been in the palace for nearly a decade, so she had heard a strange rumor that the royal family had spent a lot of money to build a huge castle on the sunset grassland, and the castle that the people in the palace used as an after-dinner conversation was probably the one she was in now.
"Yes, Lord Louise's parents died young, and Lord Louise was a Muggle nobleman who didn't know magic at all, so the royal family who took a fancy to this raised Lord Louise, who was originally a viscount, to a level, and justifiably canonized as the fiftieth Earl of Glamorgan. ”
Amber, who has always given people a calm feeling of not being surprised, finally uncontrollably revealed her anger, her dry hands clenched into fists, and her two big amber eyes were full of murderous intent.
"This is the grace that our royal family has been loyal to for generations, to make us noble counts, and then let Lord Louise's family use them to perish in this world! How could Lord Louise give up her title, that was the only thing her father left her, this coat of arms painted with griffins, a symbol of the honor of the family for generations, give it up? What a joke, I will not blame Lord Louise for killing us, because it is Elizabeth, the slut who is now enjoying the blessings of the imperial capital, who must pay for this full sin! ”
"Ahh
Elizabeth, who was far away in the Imperial Capital Maple Leaf Garden and took Alice to pay a private visit, rubbed her nose.
"Who missed me......"
"Well, don't get too excited......"
Nagi looked at Amber, who seemed to want to break Elizabeth to pieces on the spot, waved her hand and smiled awkwardly, Elizabeth's simple guy couldn't have come up with such a trick to trick people, if the real mastermind behind the scenes was not wrong, it was probably her shrewd brother Duke Derrick, and Lord Gilbert, who was in cahoots with him.
