She Is Not a Witch Chapter 249: Blonde girl in the country

Titania, the Rose Palace

The guards in snow-white rime cloaks are stationed here. They are the new emperor's cronies and confidantes. Most of them are from noble families.

Although these families have been suppressed to varying degrees after the Emmank brothers came to the throne, there are still many people who survived, and they are more loyal to Elio than other nobles. Descendants of the prince.

At this moment, in a quiet courtyard in the palace, Elio was lying on the lawn taking a nap, and beside him was a maid with silver-purple hair sitting kneeling, pillowing Elio on her lap.

After several days of continuous work, issuing orders and mobilizing the army, the young monarch finally reached the limit of exhaustion and fell asleep unconsciously at noon.

"Elio's sleeping appearance is really cute." Knoss looked at the young monarch under the sun and wanted to touch his cheek, but she held back.

Although she often plays pranks on weekdays, she still hopes that Elio can have a good sleep at this time.

Besides her and Elio, there are only two other maids in the courtyard, but these two are very interesting and stand far away, and they will only pass when Conos calls.

Although this girl with silver-purple hair is also a maid, almost no one in the palace treats her as a maid, and even the nobles in the imperial capital respect this maid very much and dare not offend her .

The families of the great nobles have a long history, and some of them can vaguely perceive the true identity of this girl, so they will not deliberately inquire and provoke her.

As for the others, apart from being loyal to the emperor, Dark Moon of the Empire now obeys the orders of this silver-purple maid. This also shows its high status.

Several birds flew over the palace and occasionally landed. They stood resting on the white dome of the palace and sang a few birdsong. Except for a little breeze blowing by, there was no other sound in the courtyard.

In this way, after a long time, the tranquility was broken by the pushed door, and then there were slight footsteps.

Even if Konnos didn't turn her head, she knew who had come in at this moment. She waited for the slight footsteps to come in front of her before raising her head.

"Is Your Majesty asleep?" Anna mouthed the words, gently placed the plate carrying the silver sculpture on the lawn, and then slowly bent down.

Konos nodded, looked at the clear grapes and purple oranges that Anna brought, and then picked up a green transparent grape and ate it.

Although she is a maid, she has never regarded herself as an outsider, and the people around her have long been used to such behavior.

The two sat quietly on the lawn in the afternoon, until Elio woke up slowly because of the temperature gradually rising.

"Sister Anna." He looked at the two people beside him in surprise, and then slowly sat up.

"Elio is so eccentric. He slept on my knee for so long, but he was the first one to call Sister Anna when he woke up." Knoss pretended to be jealous.

"Where is it." Elio shook his head, but now it's not three years ago, and he's gradually getting used to Konos often teasing him.

"Let's go sit in the pavilion."

Speaking, he stood up and moved his body, and sat down with the two in the shaded round pavilion. At this time, Anna helped him peel the oranges, and Elio also asked Ko Nuo immediately after he woke up a little. Silk's current military situation.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Knoss was slightly dissatisfied seeing Elio's restless appearance, but she still opened her mouth to report to him.

"Now the Duke of Griffin's army has captured the three western provinces. There are not many fortresses there, and coupled with the hasty response, they retreated quickly."

"However, in the valley behind, there is a strong and tall cobblestone fortress, which is the fief of Earl Desai. He is your father's brother, and he is also a good friend of Prince Ansair, so don't worry. He will easily betray."

"The land of the valley is indeed difficult to pass through, but I remember that there is a mountain road that can be crossed in the mountains near the south." Elio recalled the map he had seen before.

"Did you say Langkou Ridge? It's only suitable for small troops, not for large troops, and logistics and transportation are also difficult." Ko Nuosi shook her head, but seemed to remember something.

"However, it is indeed a trouble. If the Duke of Griffin takes it, he can send various small troops to harass the rear, so that the Goose White Stone Fortress will also be in trouble."

"Who are you going to send there?" Konos leaned her head on the table.

"Darcy is now leading his troops north to resist the Duke Raven's army. The wilderness in the north is very suitable for cavalry. Bazel has long been gone, and Severy has disappeared after the queen fled. He is probably living in seclusion. Alright."

"No general, Elio." Knoss picked up a few more grapes and ate them slowly.

Elio leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring the lazy maid.

After a while, he remembered a name.

"Although she is not a general, she is also a rare genius. Let her be the only one." Elio opened his eyes.

"Aurone Si Wood."

"That talented girl, but she is a new army figure supported by Edron in the past, and she seems to be ignored now." Knoss recalled this girl.

Since Elio ascended the throne, most of the high-ranking officers of the former Edron New Legion have been replaced, and many of them have also been demoted or retired and left the army.

"She's really good, but I don't know if she's willing to come out to fight." Conos picked up a grape, peeled it carefully, and handed it to Elio, who had just finished eating the orange that Anna handed her .

"Let me write a personal letter, hoping to impress her." Elio hesitated for a while, and then said so.

"The emperor's personal letter, this is really an honor, but do you have to be so solemn? If you make a decree, she should not resist. After all, her family and friends live in a small town in the middle of the country."

"That's it. At this critical moment, try to show sincerity." Elio shook his head. He didn't grow up in the royal family, and he didn't value the so-called noble status as much as other royal families.

"Then I will get the paper, but this time I will deliver the letter. I also want to see that there is a genius praised by the sages. If she is as powerful as Bumansha, she will be picked up. Treasure."

"Bumansha, hey, let's not talk about it, such a character will not be used by the empire." Elio seemed a little regretful.

Two days later, Young Lion Province, Panmai City.

This is a small city on a plain, a river passes through this time, and the city is built by the river.

It is early autumn now, the wheat in the field has already been harvested, and only scattered golden wheat stacks remain.

Walking on the road in the field, there are scattered fragments of wheat stalks and stubbles everywhere, and the air is also filled with a sun-baked smell, which is very dry.

A group of knights in red armor and white cloak walked through the wheat field. They crossed the long field and entered a small town by the river. After a while, they drove out again to a small village outside the city.

Finally, the group dismounted and stopped outside a simple school in a village.

This school is built with yellow earth bricks, and the roof is painted with ordinary wooden boards, and there are still mottled and peeling parts, which looks very simple.

When the group of them walked into the small courtyard of the school, they could still hear the sound of children reading.

"When you make big wishes, you will reap big fruits, and when you make small wishes, you will reap small fruits..."

The footsteps of the knights stopped the voices in the house for a moment, and then the wooden door was pushed open, and a blond girl came out. The red dress looks very beautiful.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Aurone?"

"Yes, who are you?"

Aurone looked at these people in surprise. She had stayed in the army before and had a general understanding of the military ranks of the empire. Judging by the clothes of these people, they should be the guards under the command of the new emperor.

"I see. We are here to convey the emperor's will and letters." After speaking, one of them took out the well-preserved letter from the metal cylinder at his waist, and the wax on it was very complete.

"For me?" Aurone guessed in her heart.

She opened the envelope and read the words on it silently.

[From Miss Aurone:

I am the 71st emperor of the empire, Elio Cang Zusselberg...

Now the army of the Griffin family is advancing eastward, causing many casualties along the way, and killing countless people

…

In view of the needs of the current situation in the empire, Miss Aurone is specially invited to join the army again to protect the innocent people in the empire. ]

After closing the letter, Aurone already knew the purpose of these knights in her heart.

"I see, please let me prepare a little bit, these children also need to be taken care of by someone."

"I understand that if Miss Aurone needs help, you can tell us." Before leaving, the emperor specially asked a few people to respect this girl.

"Well, I will tell you if necessary." After that, Aurone went back to the room again and confessed to the children.

…

"Sister Aurone is leaving?"

"Don't let Sister Aurone go, don't."

"Those are bad people, sister Aurone, please don't leave." The children chattered, not wanting the girl to leave.

In this remote place, Aurone is not only beautiful, but also rich in knowledge and strength. Even the chief guard in the city can't beat her. She is the idol in the hearts of many children.

And during the past two years as a teacher here, she has also gained the recognition of many residents, but it is a pity that the local area is not considered rich and cannot give her much support.

"It's okay, my sister will be back, and I will check on your progress~" Orone comforted the children, and some of them cried.

The knights standing outside were very worried. The girl's heart softened for a while and she stayed there, so it would be difficult for them to go back and explain.

Fortunately, after a period of appeasement, the girl came out.

"Now, I'm going to the city and ask the pastor in the city to send someone to look after these children so that I can leave with you."

"No problem, please let us go with you." After finishing speaking, several people vacated a horse for Aurone to ride, and then headed towards the town.

Looking at the few people riding forward in the field, Konos' figure appeared in the sky.

"This girl is pretty easy to talk to, I thought it would be hard to convince her." After she finished speaking, she slowly lowered down again, listening to the discussions among the children in the school room.

"Sister Aurone is going to fight?"

"I don't know, those riders seem to be from the imperial capital."

"Ah, could it be that sister Aurone was taken by the emperor? After all, sister Aurone is so beautiful and powerful. If I were the emperor, I would marry sister Aurone."

Bang, there was a slight sound of fighting in the room.

"As long as you talk too much, sister Aurone will definitely not marry the emperor. That emperor is a bad person. I heard that he killed many people when he ascended the throne."

"Brother George in the city was originally an officer, but he also dismissed him, and so did sister Aurone. In the past, sister Aurone had a great reputation in the army." A child said yearningly and proudly.

"How do you know so much?"

"Hmph, as long as you don't know anything, many people in the town have said these things."

"It's probably because you often don't study hard and go out to play secretly to hear this kind of news. No wonder sister Aurone often talks about you."

"You, you." There was another fight in the room.

"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, Sister Aurone is gone this time, and I don't know when she will come back." A child mediated between the two parties, and everyone's mood fell again after talking.

"Will you come back, Sister Aurone?"

"Yes, if Sister Aurone doesn't come back, then I will join the army and look for her on the battlefield."

"It's so brave. I heard that the battlefield is very good to shoot. There are dead people everywhere."

"Uh, is it that scary, don't scare me..."

"Yes." A child nodded solemnly, but he did not continue to describe.

Listening to the words of the children below, Ko Nuosi felt a little funny, these little guys still think a lot.

But it's true, children are like this, with many naive thoughts, sometimes very naive and simple.

Let's go to the town and see what Miss Aurone has explained.

Angel Church in Panmai City.

The pure white church is surrounded by a circular low wall. In front of the church is a small square, and behind it is the cemetery of this small town, where many graves are buried.

It was the afternoon at this moment, and there was no one in the church. An elderly priest was listening to Aurone's words.

"In other words, are you ready to answer the emperor's call and go to the battlefield?"

"Yes." The girl nodded.

The old pastor sighed slowly: "Since you have decided, I can't stop it, but this battle is not as simple as it used to be."

"In the past, although there were uprisings and rebellions in the southern border, they were all small-scale wars, and the other party would not kill you, but this time..."

"The bravery of the Salius family is famous in the empire. Those knights riding griffins and holding spiral thunder guns were good at hunting dragons in ancient times. When they fought against the country of Oz, they revealed A strong strength."

"The Griffin family has ruled the western region for nearly a thousand years, almost as long as the empire's history. The two armies are really worrying."

"I know that you received the favor and care of that general when you were young, so you joined the army immediately after graduation, but the general has retired now, why are you still involved in this chaotic and dangerous battlefield? What about."

"I don't think you are the kind of person who loves vanity, and relying on your own strength, you can live comfortably wherever you go."

"Is this a question?" Aurone looked out the window, ran her fingers through her hair, and took a while to answer.

"It's actually not that complicated, I just want to continue the current order."

"Xinhuang has established many schools, giving many children the opportunity to get in touch with education. I am very touched by this incident."

"I was also born as a commoner, and the reason I can achieve what I am today is because the General helped our family when I was a child, and that allowed me to step into the school of Emenas and get in touch with the world's top education. and a wealth of knowledge.”

"If there are other children, like me, who can get rid of the ignorant and poor life in the past, I think it will be a very happy thing."

After she finished speaking, she stopped and stood there quietly.

"Well, I can't refute such a reason. May Lord Angel bless you and come back alive from the battlefield." Spells, of course, are better than nothing.

"I still have some healing potions that I usually refine~IndoMTL.com~Although they are not high-end products, they may be able to help you." After finishing speaking, he walked slowly behind the angel statue, took out the dark He picked up the three metal vials stored in the compartment and handed them to Aurone.

"Take it away, this is the rear anyway, and you don't need much on weekdays."

"Then thank you Pastor Grandpa~"

After accepting it, Aurone put it in her waist pocket, waved goodbye and left the church.

After the blond girl and a group of knights left, the old priest asked a scholar in the city to take over Aurone's work, and then came to the hillside outside the city, watching the sunset gradually set into the distance .

"It's war again, it's war again, after this time, can the empire continue to exist, alas..."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the hillside step by step with a wooden stick.

The afterglow of the sunset, the purple fire reflecting the sky, is extraordinarily beautiful, yet so far away.
