Chapter 4: Charlotte
On the way out of the square after forcibly ending the trial, because he did not inherit the memory of the former master, it is impossible for him to leave the flaws even if he talks carefully. However, my luck was as good as ever. First of all, all of them, except for the captain of the guard, Hawthorn, and the second captain of the guard, Gray, were the people they had arranged when they were exiled to the town. Secondly, the former owner of the body is a big wonder, doing things as he wants, and his self-righteous temperament is very consistent with what he did before, but his arrogant temperament makes him extremely ignorant of the people around him, so even if there is anything wrong, he will not be suspected of anything.
Therefore, even if something goes wrong in the communication, it does not create too much suspicion. I inquired about a lot of information, such as the old man behind him at the beginning, his supervisor's name was Hubbard, and his country was called the Kingdom of Gatassa. His own escort is actually the number one warrior in the entire continent, Hawthorn. The reason why the church relieved to hand over the escort work to Austin this time was not because of how Austen was, but mainly because of Hawthorn's relationship.
At the same time, from their cryptic conversations, I learned some things about my exile here, Austin was exiled by the king because of some brainless things, and he was exiled here, a remote town, Farak Town.
As for the brain-dead thing, it was Hubbard who said in the trial that he had molested Emilia, the pearl of the Grand Duke's palm, and made Morgan almost beat him to death...... Maybe the prince died suddenly, and he crossed over to him, which left sequelae after the Grand Duke's beating. It's really a standard person who dies under the flowers.,It's also romantic to be a ghost.,Probably everyone thinks differently.,So I won't make much comments.。
"Your Highness, why did you postpone the trial for a day, and what good will it do us? Can you tell us what you think?" Hubbard walked halfway, and finally couldn't help but ask his doubts.
"I don't have any ideas, it's just that we want to know the truth, even if it's a false alarm, it won't hurt us, and even what we do will make the church look up to us. As I said, here I am the lord, even if I have the support of the Church, at least, to show our own ability. Besides, if we delay it for a day, the church may be dissatisfied with us, but that's about it. And the time of this day, for me, is different, can satisfy my curiosity. Austin said.
Although I don't know that His Royal Highness Austin is different, after all, the time to follow this legendary prince is not long, and the chief of the guard Hawthorn, who has always followed His Highness, did not feel anything, so he did not think much about it.
"Hubbard, you should first send someone to inquire about this witch. I'll go to the dungeon and ask for myself. Austin said.
Hubbard nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Hubbard left with some of the people to find out about the witch.
Unconsciously, Austin and his party came to the dungeon, although Austin knew that the environment inside the dungeon would not be good, but he never expected that the environment inside would be so bad, worse than the garbage dump, so bad that Austin, a person who thinks he has a strong endurance, just arrived at the door and didn't want to go in, and a peculiar smell wafting out of the dungeon almost made Austin vomit directly.
The guards around Austin were also choked by this smell, and after seeing Austin stop at the door, they immediately persuaded: "Your Highness, there is no need for us to come here to see you, if you want to see her, take her to meet you." ”
"No, since you're here, let's take a look. Austin frowned, endured his nausea, strode into the dungeon, and then looked at the jailers standing respectfully on both sides of the dungeon, and said coldly, "You are really amazing, you can make the dungeon a garbage dump for me, I am not embarrassed for you, give you three days, after three days, clean up this place for me, if there is such a smell in it, you will not come again in the future or, stay in the dungeon cage for the rest of your life!"
The jailers immediately fell to their knees in panic, and Austin ignored the guards and forced his nausea to walk in.
Fortunately, the inside of the dungeon was not worse than the outside, but the air was much better, which made Austin relieved that he would not let himself be slapped in the face and retreat, and he could still insist on coming to the so-called witch, Charlotte's cage.
When she saw Charlotte's treatment, the corners of Austin's face twitched a few times, and she almost laughed, Charlotte who was locked in the dungeon was tied with thick chains, and was fixed to the wall by bracelets and anklets, and felt that the chains that locked her were heavier than Charlotte's delicate woman, it seems that people are very jealous of this witch, or rather, this witch may really have some ability.
After reading the exaggerated chain, Austin set her eyes on Charlotte, on the whole, she was a weak girl, with snow-white skin, a beautiful face, blue eyes, and a good-looking girl. It seems to be unworldly, obviously not a leper, likewise, not a foreigner, such a girl, who should not be judged, and makes her nervous.
But, in this case, the girl was too quiet. The eyes are the window of a person's soul, and what kind of mood a person is in can be seen from the eyes. Therefore, Austin knows that this quietness is not because of the quiet of being in danger, but the quiet of controlling it all.
"They say you're a witch, are you really a witch?" Austin actually felt that what he wanted to know was not this, but, for some reason, after tormenting her, he would casually ask a question that he thought was nonsense.
"Witches, yes. Charlotte said calmly. This answer surprised Austin, and other people's slander is okay, why do the parties say the same. It seems that I should have a deeper understanding, after all, the crossing is already there, and the fantasy setting is also acceptable.
"Oh, there really are witches, but what would a witch do?" Austin was full of curiosity about the term witch, the so-called witch in his own world, it should be 1484, I forgot who it was, wrote the book "Witch's Hammer", so there was the so-called witch trial, the church in order to maintain its rule, three centuries, more than 100,000 people died.
At that time, I had a client who was interested in the Middle Ages, and I studied this more or less. However, it is precisely because of this that he is extremely resistant to the witch trial.
