In the centre of the villa's front yard is a spacious lawn that is carefully manicured and smooth like a green blanket.

In the center of the lawn, there is a bluestone fountain, from which multiple streams of water gush out, and the clear water shimmers silver in the sun.

The fountain is also surrounded by a variety of colorful flowers, red, yellow, purple, blue and white intertwined into a colorful picture.

Renina was standing by the fountain, walking around the fountain with a playful view, admiring the light reflected by the water.

She was dressed in a simple purple dress and had long soft blonde hair, each of which seemed to have been carefully combed to give it a smooth and lustrous texture.

As for her appearance, she is nine points similar to Professor Alanna, the only difference is that Renina's inadvertent arrogant posture makes her more like a nobleman than Professor Alanna.

"Was that guy's hospitality etiquette taught by monkeys? How dare you make us wait so long. ”

Following Renina, a girl wearing a white dress and a black maid dress with an extremely immature figure whispered to Renina.

Her hair was wrapped in a maid's hat, and her face was covered with slightly evenly distributed freckles, making her look extremely ordinary.

"Silence or I'll throw you back." Renina sniffed the scent of flowers in the air and responded casually.

After a while, one of the attendants came briskly and invited Renina to the gazebo on the side of the front yard.

"Oh? Wouldn't he even let me set foot in the halls? Renina asked with a calm smile after hearing the squire's words.

But when she saw the waiter's cramped reaction, she also understood that it was pointless to ask the other party such a question, so she raised her hand and motioned for the other party to lead the way.

The pavilion is set in a cluster of flowers and plants, and stone columns, balustrades and domes make up its main structure.

Through the arched portico, the furnishings in the pavilion are also very simple, except for a round stone table and six stone benches next to the table.

After the attendant brought Renina and the little maid here, he turned and left without leaving any words behind.

"Why did you make us wait like this! Etiquette is a portrait of a man, and this Rogers Breed is definitely far more despicable than the rumors, and it is disgusting......"

The little maid pursed the corners of her mouth and bent her neck to continue the evaluation, but when she saw Renina's indifferent eyes glancing at her, she finally wrinkled her nose and chose restraint.

Renina sat on the stone bench, and although she didn't complain, she frowned slowly, and there was a slight dissatisfaction on her face.

From birth to now, no one has ever arranged her to wait in such a humble place, and that's all, she can still appreciate the flowers and plants, but then she has been left to dry for so long, it is no longer a matter that can be overshadowed by a word of rudeness.

However, when she saw Rogers, who was walking slowly, her previous grievances dissipated in an instant.

Rogers' gait was difficult and careful, he relied on the support of his cane, and each step required extraordinary effort, while Hans held his arm tightly and gave him stability.

Renina looked at the young man's silver hair swaying gently with his steps, and inexplicably felt that this scene had added a touch of fragility and fragility to the toddler boy, and she couldn't help but feel a little urge to take care of it.

"So, why did you skip my father and run straight to find me, who was easier to bully? The Arkan of the Santans? ”

Rogers sat down on the stool with Hans's help, and he put his cane between his legs, folded his hands on the handles, and looked at Renina tightly, and spoke coldly.

When Renina heard the question, the little good feeling that had just risen was instantly dispelled.

In her correspondence with her sister, she often saw descriptions of how genius and how intelligent Rutgers was.

But the other party's outspokenness at the moment is not at all like what a smart person can say. Even if this is true, it can't be said unabashedly!

It seems that this so-called cleverness is only in study and research.

"I have indeed come to seek peace for the Santans, and if the Breed executes Arkan, it will inevitably lead to local strife, and now that the empire is politically unstable, it is not appropriate to ......"

Renina was going to say some words of concern and regular social rhetoric, but Rogers's rude behavior made her too lazy to observe etiquette, and she opened her mouth to describe the purpose of the trip.

But before she could say more, Rogers raised his hand to stop what seemed to be about to start a long speech.

"So, you're here to kill me......"

Rogers slowly rubbed the handle of the staff, his eyes half-closed, and he examined Renina intently and seriously, his eyes sharp and alert.

"Your Excellency, do you understand what this slander means?" Renina asked out loud with a sinking face and an unkind expression.

The Santans migration had nothing to do with the royal family, but the gap between the nobility and the royal family had widened recently, and the recent turmoil caused by the "Dawn Movement" had made the future murky.

At this time, any little spark may trigger a prairie fire, and for the sake of the stability of the situation, it is the main idea of the royal family at the moment to extinguish them one by one.

And Renina, just for that.

"What does it mean?" Rogers let out a sneer, looked at Renina inexplicably, and said slowly:

"Last summer, who wanted to use my death to become a saint?

"Well, in order to save the world, I can understand and am willing to make the necessary sacrifices to save the world, and I have been doing so.

"But what about after that? Who can't wait to judge me? Who is it who sees that the judgment will not be successful, and directly sends a vicious curse to me?

"Caspar wants to kill me, his father wants to kill me, the cultists want to kill me, the second prince wants to kill me......

"The other day, it was Arkan who wanted to kill me...... First the imperial faction, then the prince and the cultists, after seeing that all this was useless, did they want to use the nomads? ”

His brows tightened as he spoke, and indignation and sadness appeared on his face, and his tone gradually became indignant:

"What am I doing wrong? So that you are going to target me like this?

"I work hard to help the saint improve her strength, work hard to help her classmates improve their knowledge, work hard to help the academic world to advance to the frontier, and work hard to help citizens buy more, better and cheaper items......

"I dedicate my dedication to bring better things to the world, but because of you, I can only exchange for endless misunderstandings and scolding.

"At school, the third prince would bully me, and when I came outside the school, the whole world would exclude me.

"I've missed the place for the groundbreaking ceremony, and I've lost the ability to walk normally, it's all like this, and you're still asking me, what does it mean?"

Renina listened quietly to the chatter and complaints, and she saw that the corners of the boy's mouth were slightly upturned, and his chin was slightly raised, and his expression seemed to highlight mockery and contempt.

But in those half-closed eyes, there are heavy shadows, hiding the untempered uprightness and fear of the unknown.

From her last words, she suddenly understood that it was not that Rogers was not walking poorly during the process of recuperation, but that he had directly lost part of his walking ability.

No wonder this kid was so rude and angry.

"Because you're so good...... Reina felt emotion and pity in her heart, and subconsciously responded, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained:

"Arkan's actions have nothing to do with the royal family, and I am afraid that you will have a misunderstanding, knowing that you are close to my sister Jalana, so I will come to see you."

The sarcasm on Rogers' face was even worse when he heard this, and he stared at the other party as if he was looking at an enemy, and said slowly:

"Yes, it is because of your proximity to Professor Alana that you have the opportunity and ability to reveal the news in advance to those magical schools that resist the birth of linguistics, and let them go to St. Herte to force me to explain......"

There was only suspicion, hatred and resistance on his face towards Renina, and there was no trust at all.

Renina suddenly remembered a little white tiger she had encountered while hunting in the north, and the other party was also so frightened, but she had to be on guard and grin at the same time in order to survive......

The kid now believes that the royal family has robbed him of his ability to walk, and that the royal family is preparing to take more, and that there is no way to communicate with him normally, let alone explain anything.

The little maid standing next to Renina, when she heard that Rogus was forced by several magic schools after the leak of linguistics, her eyebrows unconsciously drooped slightly, and her lips bit slightly, revealing a hint of shame.

"I want to educate more people, and I want to bring more theories and creations to this world, and I won't fall until I see the future as I want.

"Whatever doesn't kill me will make me stronger!" Rogers' eyes became firm and bright, like an unshakable star, and he clutched the handle of his staff tightly, and his voice was clear and powerful to announce to Renina.

Immediately, he propped up his cane, his body swayed slightly, and all his strength was focused on the action of standing up, but every trembling reaction could only further highlight the fragility and struggle of his body.

Renina wanted to reach out to help, but was slapped away by Rogers's merciless palm, which also made him almost unbalanced when he was just half up, but fortunately, Hans on the side was quick and supported his young master's arm in time.

Rogers' expression was entangled for a moment, as if he had figured out something, before he spoke:

"I don't like war either, so I can let Arkan go, but the Santans must hand over five hundred bronze clansmen, and these must be sinners who have participated in raiding and plundering ordinary citizens."

When the words fell, he said no more, and motioned for Hans to help him go.

Renina watched Rogeth's figure drift away, her eyes down at the palm that had just been opened, and let out a helpless sigh that drifted through the air.

"I want to enroll in St. Herthe!" The little maid's hands were clenched into fists, and she said to Renina with a firm expression:

"I once read an article in the Imperial Capital newspaper about Rogers being bullied in St. Herte, and I thought it was just a deliberate irony to attract attention, but now it seems that it may be true.

"I also understand why my eldest brother likes to praise Rogers from time to time lately, and such a noble person should not suffer such injustice.

"He looked very innocent and unscheming, and after that, he couldn't lay the foundation, and it became inconvenient to walk.

"The bullying of him by those hateful students will definitely be made worse by this, I need to do what the moral law guides me to do, and I owe him something ...... already indebted"

Renina got up slowly, her hands arcing through the folds of her skirt, she was noncommittal about the decision of the little maid beside her, but reminded softly, "But you must not use the above words as a reason. ”

"Of course! I'm not the fool who said everything! The little maid crossed her hands on her hips, obviously disgusted by Renina's underestimation of herself.

……

Rogers was on his cane, and he was now able to walk three or four steps on his own without Hans's help.

"Young master, please don't be too angry, Lord Earl can definitely protect you." Hans came to Rogers' hand when he was about to lose his balance, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided to comfort him with a slight arrogance.

"I'm fine." Rogers patted the back of Hans's hand with some surprise, he didn't expect that even Hans didn't realize that he was acting at all.

The 100 cavalrymen who participated in the cavalry battle had all been captured, but the number of sacrifices required to lay the foundation was still more than 500, and it was impossible for Rogers to make a request for a whole number, so he put up a common number.

As for the rest of the population, he felt that if he couldn't find a better way before the end of the summer vacation, he would have to recruit some cultists to come and make up for it.

Although the bronze rank is not rare, it is not common, and the loss of six hundred bronze rank soldiers at once is extremely unwilling for the Santan tribe.

Two days ago, Rogers asked his father to tentatively make this request, and the other party did not hesitate much after knowing it, and quickly replied directly to refuse.

Arkan was slaughtered with a kind of thing, and the Santans would never surrender the mantle of a tribal warrior.

This time, if you can add pressure from the royal family, and then let the goddess push through it, it may be able to increase the success rate a lot.

As long as the foundation can be laid, it will not be in vain.

But his original purpose in acting was just not to be dragged into endless striking, but that Renina didn't seem to have much hostility to him.

And the little maid next to Renina is also very weird, she looks a little younger than him, and her appearance is too ordinary, even the youngest nobleman will not take this kind of attendant with him.

Rogers pondered the anomalies of Fang Cai and imagined the wonderful scene of being able to practice high-level spells such as Transfiguration and Flying after ascending to the silver, and as his mind drifted away, he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
