Chapter 683: The Dead
was laughed at, but Charlotte wasn't embarrassed or shy at all, at least on the surface. www.biquge.info She straightened up, glanced at Hancock and Kate, and replied calmly.
"That's a good idea, if I had a lovely child like Victoria by my side, even my boring life would add a lot of joy. ”
This time, Hancock couldn't laugh, he looked at Charlotte in disbelief, but he still couldn't see what the princesses around him really thought, and he didn't know if he was just joking, or if he really thought so.
“...... Are you serious?"
Hancock doesn't want his baby granddaughter to be favored by this princess who doesn't know what to think, not only because of gender, but also because of Charlotte's own personality, no matter who is with such a princess, it will be very hard.
Putting her fingers against her curved lips, Charlotte tilted her head and smiled.
"Who knows? Maybe it's serious, maybe not, I'm not sure. After all, no one can fully control their feelings, and no one can fully understand their hearts. ”
So Hancock was really sad, and this sadness lasted until a few people came to the edge of the magic barrier, and Hancock had no time to grieve for Charlotte's words.
Staring at the scene in front of him, Hancock's mind was completely filled with wind rage.
"What is this?!"
The magic barrier was in front of him, and the distance was no more than two hundred meters, but at a distance of two hundred meters, hundreds of civilians fell to the ground, without moving, and even their chests no longer heaved, obviously dead.
Charlotte had already covered Victoria's eyes with her hand when she saw the first corpse, and she smiled and scanned the corpse on the ground.
"Judging by the costumes, they all seem to be farmers living on farms outside the royal capital. ”
Only these peasants, who lived outside the royal capital, could have reached the edge of the barrier so quickly.
Charlotte didn't continue, thinking about Victoria in her arms, but even though she had tried her best to keep the child out of contact with this, Charlotte still felt Victoria's body trembling in her arms. This clever little girl had already guessed what was going on, and despite her fear, she did not cry or make a fuss, and as a child of seven or eight years old, she was already very brave, worthy of being Hancock's granddaughter.
"Don't be afraid. ”
Gently touching Victoria's head and smoothing the sweat-soaked hair on the girl's forehead, Charlotte comforted softly in a gentle voice.
"Grandpa and sister will definitely protect Victoria, so don't be afraid. ”
In Charlotte's gentle comforting voice, Victoria's trembling slowly subsided, she raised her head timidly, and looked at Charlotte with moist eyes, perhaps because of something more terrible as a threat, Victoria was not as afraid of Charlotte as before, but her eyes revealed a reliance that she had not had before.
- What a sharp child. Thinking so, Charlotte beckoned to the pale-faced Kate, and handed Victoria to the maid, who was also frightened.
Victoria was a little reluctant to get out of Charlotte's arms, but said a word in Charlotte.
"My sister is going to help my grandfather, and if Victoria can be a good boy during this period, my sister will reward you. ”
I don't know if it's the reward or the well-behaved Victoria can tell the difference, maybe it's a combination of both, anyway, after Charlotte said this, Victoria reluctantly let go of her hand.
After handing over Victoria, Charlotte walked in the direction of Hancock.
It's no wonder that Kate was frightened and turned pale, from the distance from the horse to the barrier, the corpses were lying upside down, this strange scene was indeed very terrifying, from this point of view, Kate was just frightened and white-faced, and her psychological quality was already excellent.
Walking up to Hancock, Charlotte stretched out her hand to examine the body, but was caught by Hancock on the side.
Glancing at Hancock in bewilderment, Charlotte asked.
"Any questions?"
Hancock choked up when he was asked this, he thought that he should have asked this, shouldn't girls hate corpses and the like? But thinking of the character of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Hancock felt that he really thought too much.
However, neither as a knight nor as a man could watch Her Royal Highness do such dirty work, so Hancock gently pushed Charlotte behind him.
"Leave these things to me, Your Highness Princess, please go aside and rest. ”
Charlotte didn't refuse, but she didn't go to rest either, just stood behind Hancock and watched Hancock inspect the body, Hancock had no choice, so he had to follow the princess's wishes.
"The body was intact, there were no wounds, the color was normal, the facial expressions were normal, and there was no suffering before death. ”
The more he examined, the more solemn Hancock's expression became, there was no trauma or pain, which meant that these farmers were all killed by some invisible force unknowingly.
Hancock had the impression that there was only one way to do such a weird thing, and that way was right in front of him.
"It's not going to be ....... ”
Hancock looked up at the vast magical barrier in front of him.
The farmers died on their way to the Magic Barrier, and they didn't get out of the barrier until they died, but that wasn't the most important thing, and the most important thing was that Hancock didn't find any other bodies along the way except for the farmers closest to the Magic Barrier.
The conclusion is obvious.
It is unknown how it works, but the death of the farmers is inseparable from the magical barrier.
Without hesitation, Hancock turned around and took Charlotte's hand and walked back.
Hancock didn't need to say anything, of course he could think of anything Charlotte could think of, and the two of them just turned back to the horses, cautiously not choosing to try to break through the magical barrier.
Back at the horses, Hancock's first words were to ask about the physical condition of several people.
"Do you feel unwell? No matter what kind of small situation it is, you have to say it. ”
Kate knew from Hancock's serious face that this problem must be very important, maybe it had something to do with those who died, she didn't dare to slack off, she first touched Victoria's head, and after making sure that the rabbit's body temperature was not abnormal, she shook her head and signaled that she was fine.
The frightened bunny shrunk into Kate's arms and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing that several people were not affected, Hancock finally breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Her Royal Highness the princess, granddaughter or Kate, they were all important people to him, as long as they were not harmed.
