This is a small yard. There are only two rooms and a porter in the yard. After they were admitted, they hurried into the main house in the middle of the yard.
After entering the door, the woman in front took off wearing her cloak, revealing her whole picture. This is a young woman about twenty-five-six, with a melon-seeded face, a pointed chin, delicate skin and smooth hair. The haggard face gave her a sickly beauty. The girl in her arms was also pale, the little girl's thin arms and legs seemed to have no weight in the woman's hands, and she seemed to be sick, and there was an unnatural blush on her cheeks.
"Miss, young master, he still rejected us." The man in the cloak behind also showed his true face. This is an old man in his 50s and 60s with wrinkles on his face. It seems to be the woman's servant. .
"Hey, he can't protect himself, so why would he be willing to send soldiers to **** my mother and my wife." The beautiful woman said, "Lafite, go and serve Christine with a bowl of soup." The woman gently touched With the head of the little girl in her arms, she placed her on a chair next to her, and ordered the maid who had just entered the door behind her.
"Miss, there is almost no food left in the house." The little maid said with her head down crisply. When the woman heard this, she was surprised and asked, "Didn't I just **** my earrings and bracelet? Is the money not enough for these two meals?"
"Madam, the price of food in the city has risen again, and it is difficult to buy things with money." Rafi explained in a low voice.
"Forget it, let it last as long as it can last, it's not good..." The woman touched the sapphire necklace between her neck. This was her last piece of jewelry, and also the most precious one.
The maid took the order to serve soup to the little girl. An unpretentious bowl of noodle soup is the only food in the family. The woman and the two servants did not eat. She (them) can still stand up, but The sick little girl can't survive. The two servants seemed to be strictly tutored. Although they did not eat, they did not show anything. The old servant consciously went to the concierge to watch the night, and the maid also returned to the room to rest under the sign of the woman.
The woman took the spoon and carefully fed the little girl. The little girl sat in a chair cleverly, not noisy or noisy, just drinking the soup fed by the woman. The little girl squinted and drank slowly, as if What kind of delicious is enjoying. "Sister, you drink too." The little girl's voice was very waxy, which may be the cause of her illness, her small face was reddish, revealing her cuteness.
"Aunty drank it, little Christine drank it. I should get sick quickly." The woman showed a kind expression.
"Well, so fast!" The little girl nodded heavily.
"Auntie also drink~" In the night, a little girl's voice came.
This woman is called Grace, not an ordinary woman, but the daughter of a marquis. She is also a famous beauty in the kingdom of Charlotte. Her father is Marquis Philip, one of the three marquis of Charlotte. The jewel of the imperial capital, the flowers of the kingdom.
But she is just an ordinary woman at this time, a woman who is almost out of desperation.
Grace comforted the little girl to sleep after feeding Christine, because all the money she brought was spent, she couldn’t take the little girl to see a doctor, not to mention that money might not be able to find a doctor now. Doctor Shi will be forced to enlist in the army, and Charlowe is now at the time of the kingdom’s survival crisis. The doctor is probably only in the hands of the lords with heavy soldiers, such as her brother, Willis, the current city lord of Frans.
After taking care of the little girl who fell asleep on the bed, Grace sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Tonight is a cloudy night, without moonlight and darkness, just like her heart was cast a shadow. She couldn't help thinking of her father, the prestigious Marquis Philip.
Charlotte has three provinces, and there are also three marquises corresponding to them, namely, Marquis Philip, Marquis Campbell, and Marquis Clark. The three marquis sit in the three provinces to defend the kingdom. Now there are only two marquis left in the kingdom. The Marquis of Clark died in a **** battle with the enemy in the Gordon Heights. The Marquis of Philip and the Marquis of Campbell are now commanded by the king to garrison the capitals of Entre and Ellis.
The night a month ago, her father called her to meet and told her to pack up and take her elder brother's daughter to her brother Willis. "The kingdom has come to life and death this time." Marquis Philip, who was once full of spirits, is now just a bad old man with white hair. "You quickly take Christine to find your brother Willis, his territory. It’s very close to the Morphy Forest. You can ask him for help to protect the Karaman Kingdom across the Morphy Forest. I also have some manors over there. You can eat and wear without worrying about going there." Marquis Philip "Remember, don’t come back. The royal family is now staring at the people of our family not to escape. The men in the family have no chance. Only you and Christine are allowed to leave. You have to live. Go down, for the blood of the Philip family!"
Grace took Christine to his younger brother, who has never been taken seriously under the protection of more than ten guards. Maybe it was because of too much coldness and contempt when he was a child. His younger brother, born to his father and a maid in the family, didn’t have a good impression of himself and Christine who came to run, and even used his own guard to defend the city. Transferred away, but after arranging a few of them to a yard, they stopped responding.
"Willis wants to cross the map of Murphy Forest and the estate of Karaman Kingdom Manor." As Wang Yu's famous socialite, Grace can of course find out his brother's intentions. We should leave together at that time. There is nothing wrong with it, but his attitude seems to want to leave them alone.
Fortunately, many people in the army in the city knew her, the daughter of the Patriarch, and Willis didn't dare to be blatant and could only resort to this kind of house arrest.
Little Christine fell asleep quietly. Grace covered her quilt and lay beside her, but she couldn’t sleep. She hadn’t eaten with her maid, Lafite, and the housekeeper. It's just that she stole two pieces of cakes when she met her brother in the city lord's mansion at noon. Willis was going to push them into desperation.
Just as Grace forced herself to fall asleep to avoid hunger, there were loud noises and crying outside. And it got worse and worse, as if the city suddenly became chaotic. "What's the matter?" Grace opened the door and looked out.
"Miss, it's no good, the army of the Kingdom of Faustines is besieging the city!" The old butler's horrified voice came, "No, let's go quickly, before we have completely surrounded the city." The old butler hurriedly urged.
Grace went back to the room immediately, picked up Christine, who was still awake, followed the crowd with the old housekeeper and maid, and fled with the crowd. This place is filled with wealthy people, following these people Escape, at least the direction is correct. It's too late, so I can only fight to the death. The old housekeeper and the maid are all cultivating and vindictive, and I hope they can take them out of the Morphy Forest.
Outside the city, Baron Kedozi and Baron Kashel were sitting around the campfire, seemingly roasting a pheasant, "This guy was caught by my guard Harvey, Baron Kedozi, you tonight Blessed." Baron Kasher said with a smile.
"It's my honor to be able to eat the things baked by Baron Kasher." Baron Kedozi said modestly.
The two soldiers marched quickly around. They had already negotiated on the road before, but still used the previous method, surrounded by three and one, Baron Kedozi blocked one city gate, Baron Kasher blocked two city gates, leaving a city free The door leaves a way out for Frans.
The reason for doing this is to prevent the city of Frans from fighting back and give them a hope that they will not keep all their power to fight with them, and the gate that remains is not so easy to run, Kay The cavalry squadron of Baron Dochi stayed at the gate to wait for them. The task of the cavalry squadron was to intercept merchants and nobles who fled. These talents are fat, and the Will knights with high-level knights are stationed. They are very relieved.
When the pheasants on the bonfire were roasted, the siege was over. Nearly a thousand soldiers circled the outskirts of this small city twice, and even the northern gate of the retreat to Frans had a squadron of Baron Kasher Stationed.
The soldiers replenish food and maintain their spirits under the orders of their respective officers. They will besiege and not attack tonight. The main purpose is to overwhelm the resistance of the Charlois. Moreover, the troops marched for a day and needed adjustments. Everyone received When the news arrives, the siege will begin early tomorrow morning.
Locke is now at the West City Gate. This is their battalion responsible for attacking En City Gate. I don’t know what deal the Baron and Baron Kasher have. In short, which one will attack the city first, the squadron with the most advanced city will get rich reward.
Tomorrow, the third squadron will try to attack the city first to check the defensive strength of this city gate, and then the first and second squadrons will join together. This is the highlight, and it will usually be the final word. This is just a small city. In doing so, their squadron is in the third batch, mainly to clean up the mess.
Tomorrow's mission seems to be easier than others. Locke is relieved. To be honest, although he has been a soldier for four years and has seen blood and flames so many times, Locke still has great awe of death. He was able to obtain the mission with the lowest risk. Although there was little oil and water, Locke was also very satisfied. There is hope only when he lives.
