She Is Not a Witch: Extra White-Coated Commander

"The foam in the swaying water"

"The revolving balance of longing"

…

The soft and gentle singing sounded in my ears, so reassuring.

I shook my still groggy head, slowly opened my eyes, and looked around.

The familiar room, the faint scent of wild chrysanthemums, the orange light, and the soft quilt, this should be my sister's room.

Turning his head, the familiar and gentle figure was sitting by the bed, closing his eyes and singing softly.

Because I was sick and had a persistent high fever, even the pastor of the church couldn't help me. I had no choice but to leave my aunt's house in the city and return to this remote town.

Because listening to church hymns can relieve mental pain and improve the condition, my sister went to learn it, and then sang softly to lull me to sleep.

Really, I am not a child anymore, why do I need this kind of ceremony.

At first I thought this way, I was very stubborn and impatient, but whenever I felt uncomfortable due to fever, my sister would still sing this simple melody ballad by my side.

Maybe it's because the nun's words are really correct, so my illness is a little better.

The friends and partners who used to come to play with me are no longer there. Most of them have been told by their parents not to come over to avoid being infected, because even the nobles will not have good results when they face some diseases.

Although, I know this is true, but I still feel a kind of loneliness and sadness.

My father is a local baron, but he is not a formidable aristocrat, and he can only be regarded as a person with a little wealth. Even if he goes to the city, those powerful extraordinary people will not look at him highly.

Now he is working for the local viscount, even if I am sick, I can't come back, so only my sister will take care of me.

Even if there is suspicion of boasting, my sister is indeed the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. This time made me very proud, and I also have a special attachment to my sister.

"You're awake, Isaiah." After singing a song, my sister opened her eyes and found me sitting up.

"Wake up."

Compared to the drowsiness of the previous few days, I seem to feel a lot better today, and my head is clearer.

"It's night now." I looked out the window at the already dark night.

"Yes, it's very late now." When my sister was speaking, she leaned forward and touched my forehead with her hand, trying to find out if I was better.

Placing delicate fingers on the forehead, I can clearly see the white wrist, and there is a faint fragrance of wild chrysanthemums from the tip of my nose.

Sister seldom goes to the perfume workshop in the city to buy things. In fact, she tried to refine this fragrance. Although it is very weak, it fits her temperament very well. Even after many years, she is gone. I Also unforgettable.

"Seems better."

"Yeah." I replied with a soft hum, then turned my head away from the palm of my hand.

You always treat me like a child.

"Hehe, Isaiah is still like this." My sister was very happy to see me looking energetic.

"If you want to eat something, I'll make it for you, but it can't be too difficult, because I don't know much, and the maids are all asleep."

Compared to other nobles, my sister is definitely a considerate person, and she is very considerate of servants. I am not as good at this as her.

"Just cook something casually." I said casually.

"Well, that's right, let me think about it." She straightened her skirt, stood up from the chair beside the bed, picked up a lantern to light it, opened the door, and walked to the corridor.

"Isaiah wait a moment, my sister will be back later." After speaking, she waved her hand and closed the door.

The room fell silent again, and soon I too fell into boredom and began to turn my eyes to the things around me.

This is my sister's room. It's on the west side of the castle, and mine is on the east side, so I don't come here often. It wasn't until this time that I had the time to take a closer look.

The furniture in the room is made of cherry wood, which is the handicraft of the craftsman in the town. Their family is also an old face in our territory. It is said that grandpa’s grandpa and our ancestors are still good friends, although listening now , it's hard to believe that nobles and commoners are friends.

I am the third child of Baron Burris. My name is Isaiah. I have a brother and a sister. The eldest brother is almost 7 years older than me. I have no common words. My father spent a lot of money to bring him I sent him to the imperial capital to study, I wanted him to become a big man, see the world, and then come back to inherit the family business and title.

My sister is two years older than me. She is not married yet, but she seems to be getting married soon. I heard that my father is looking for a family for her. I heard that there is also a powerful Transcendent of Sequence 7 in the family.

With such a family background, even though our family is also aristocratic, we are still at the top, but because of my sister, I think it is really lucky that such a family can marry my sister.

A few memories raced through my mind, then I looked away from the furniture and looked around the room again for something special.

Compared to my messy room, my sister's bedroom is obviously much neater, everything is well arranged, there is a very old oil painting on the wall, and there is a blue porcelain vase on the table , with unknown white flowers inserted in it, which are still blooming today.

Finally, my eyes fixed on a book on the corner of the table, which aroused my curiosity.

I know that my sister can read. She is better than me in this area. The teacher has said it before, but she is not the kind of person who is keen on reading, and she will not look for love and knights. Usually the most common Instead, do other little things.

For example, plant some flowers and plants in the garden, extract the fragrance of flowers by yourself, try to make some clothes, go for a walk by the river to watch the sunset, etc. My latest hobby is to learn songs from the nuns in the church, and then comfort me to sleep at night.

I rolled out of bed, went to the table, and picked up the book. "Cradle under the Moonlight" is written on the cover with a beautiful outline. After turning the pages of the book, there are no profound truths or fantasy stories that make people yearn for, and some are just quiet and simple. collection of poems.

I quickly finished reading such uninteresting books, and before my sister came back, I put them away again and sat on the bed for a while.

————

The scene in the dream stops here, and the roaring gunfire wakes me up from the memories of my childhood.

"Lord Isaiah, lord Isaiah!" The messenger hurriedly came to the room where I was resting temporarily, and was stopped by the adjutant at the door.

"What happened?" I sat up quickly, took the big-brimmed hat on the side, and walked quickly to the command room.

"The enemy launched an attack again. This time they mobilized a lot of artillery and blasted the front line open. Now there are many cavalry rushing in. Although the trenches behind are temporarily resisted, they can't last long."

"Oh, it seems that the enemy is very clear about our arrangement."

Although I was annoyed for a while, I still said it calmly. My years of military career have long given me such a stern expression, which is hard to see through.

The place where I am now is the forefront of the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Empires, the Typhon Fortress on the Gaodan Plain.

This old fortress has been transformed into a strong fortress for us in recent years, and has become an unstoppable fulcrum on the Gaodan Plain, which has greatly hindered the offensive of the Eastern Allied Forces. As for me, I also defeated the enemy's attack several times, and now I have become the general with the highest rank in this area.

Recalling the drastic changes in the past few years, sometimes I also feel a kind of inconceivable. I never thought that I, the second son of the baron family who is not valued, can occupy such a high position now.

When I was very young, I understood that the so-called nobles also have great distinctions, and the gap is even bigger than the gap between pigs on the ground and dragons in the sky.

Not to mention the top four dukes, they are all the kings of each side of the empire. Even the second-class earls are also powerful forces entrenched in various places, and all parties need to win over and consider them.

As for the lowest-ranking barons, some can become household names in the imperial capital, while others may live in a remote mountain village in the western region, where there are not a hundred families in the fief.

So, even though I entered Emenas to study when I was a teenager, I didn't get carried away because of it, thinking that I had transcended the shackles of the past. Compared with the various encounters in life, sometimes the impact of personal efforts is so small.

I never thought that I worked harder than my classmates, and even my talent was not as good as my childhood playmates and friends, but just because I have a good sister, I easily obtained that precious recommendation letter for admission.

The Earl of Wolfthorn is a famous family in the west, a direct vassal of the Salius family, with his own elite army and vast land, such a nobleman, when I was a child studying in the city, I could only get far from his population Yuan heard that he didn't dare to think about it, but then he became involved in a relationship overnight.

Because my sister was liked by the heir of Earl Wolfthorn, and later married into him, and I also received the benefits of joining forces.

It's not just a letter of recommendation for admission, you can directly go to the army to practice after graduation, and today, after several drastic changes in the empire, you have taken over the command of the frontline army and become a powerful general with more than 200,000 soldiers under his command.

Perhaps the talents are really withered. Senior Darcy and others who once needed to be looked up to, those heroes who have attracted attention in the college days, have been exhausted in the Western Expedition and Civil War, leaving only mediocrity like me and the slightly luckier ones.

I used to think that the apex was not the case after I actually sat in this position. Even though I am now a general commanding countless legions, it does not mean that I can be safe and do whatever I want.

The soldiers of these legions are mostly the leaders recruited by the aristocrats of the western region. Almost all the middle and lower officers are the children of the nobles of the western region. Influences cannot be easily offended.

Like dancing in shackles, this is a true portrayal of the environment.

There is also a huge gap with the scenes I expected when I was a teenager.

I grew up watching those knights, looking forward to the characters in them. Many of them have historical prototypes and are also real heroes in history, so they are more real and desirable.

I will also be that kind of character, radiant and shining, making my family proud, and able to protect those close to me, so that they can live a relaxed and comfortable life.

It is not so much that I envy the glory of the hero who saves the world, it is better to say that I envy the great freedom that the hero can obtain.

Because you are a hero, you can do many things that others need to be scruples and endure. Not only will you not be blamed, but you will also be understood and forgiven by others.

Why do we have to emphasize this kind of thing, because I have always had a vague desire and idea.

If I'm strong enough, then my sister doesn't have to marry for the benefit of the family, she can freely choose the life she wants, and I can occasionally have dinner prepared by her and listen to her humming for me Ballad, telling the distant story.

But such things are deviant after all, so I never told even my best childhood playmate.

After my sister got married, most of this dream was shattered. After entering Emenas, although I also studied hard and integrated into the aristocratic circle of the western region, in the end, I still didn't want to make my sister sad.

Because this is the qualification she obtained for me after marrying into Earl Wolfthorn's family. I don't want to ruin her efforts and kindness. Only this is the warmest place in my heart.

When I was young, because of illness, I was treated coldly by my aunt's relatives, and because they were afraid that I would infect their children, they sent me back to the small town in my hometown. The latter person did not contact me either.

Although I was still young at that time, I also deeply realized that very few people in this world really love me.

When I first entered the city to study, my uncle praised me for being good-looking, and even said on the spot that he would marry his daughter to me. I studied in the Sword' faction, and because of my good talent, I was praised by the teacher one after another. At that time, my tail was almost raised.

However, these things are so fragile, people's hearts are hard to rely on, and they can't stand the test. Even though I still treat others with a pleasant face as in the past, in fact, since then, I have seldom invested in it. Hope and believe.

Rock was the only true friend of mine when I was a teenager. His ideals were even more ambitious. I thought he was just a whim like other kids, but it was finally confirmed that he really wanted to go on that path .

That is also the path of a hero, but unlike me, what he pursues is to save the world, so arrogant and lonely.

Even if a person can save himself and the people around him, it is not easy, but he thinks more. I want to tell him this reality, but of course, he will not listen to my advice.

It's the same when you think about it, if he is really so easily shaken, then I wouldn't regard him as my best friend when I was a teenager.

The perfect ideal world where everyone is equal and beautiful and harmonious does not exist. Reality is not a castle in the air based on fantasy, but is built with bricks and tiles of interests and emotions.

Instead of trusting the promise of outsiders ~IndoMTL.com~, it is better to believe in the power and strength in your hands.

In the process of getting to the top step by step, I believe this more and more, and at the same time, I feel more and more how rare true love and family are.

So, in order to protect this little warmth, I am destined not to let go, even if I am stepping on many bones, I must climb to the top of the hero and gain the power to guard the precious things.
