Medieval White Elf Story

Fortunately, the subordinates waited for a long time and found no new enemies continuing to pursue them. It seemed that the dozen or so cavalry just now were all the enemies. Out of caution, Artus did not send anyone to investigate.

The whole battle ended suddenly and quickly. Three of the Bain family were injured, but no one died. The number of casualties on Werner's side was unknown. Overall, it was a great victory.

After Flynn learned the news of victory, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after looking at the corpses lined up on the ground, the breath choked in his throat again.

"Human" Flynn asked in a low voice: "Duke Zeon is colluding with Cecilia again."

This seems to be the only reasonable explanation for the presence of groups of human armed forces in the Principality of Zeon, not to mention that the target of their ambush was the Duchess of Werner. For Old Tibes or Cleese IV, they have always been in the royal camp. The Principality of Werner is definitely an eyesore, so they have plenty of motivation to collude.

"Not necessarily, they could also be mercenaries." Artus denied Flynn's view. During the collapse of the Second Kingdom, Cecilia occupied a large area of ​​Estilia for a hundred years. Although Cecilia's power later After being expelled, many humans were left scattered on the land of the kingdom and became Estilia's minority. Even in the southern region, it is not uncommon. Many of these human descendants of Estilia work as employees. The army makes a living, so it cannot be said that as long as there are human armed forces, they were sent by the Cecilia Empire.

At this time, a guard came over carrying something like a rag bag. When he dropped the bag on the ground, the bag groaned, and Flynn realized that it was actually a beaten prisoner.

Different from the pile of human corpses on the ground, this guy is obviously a white elf, but he is not wearing armor and is dressed more like an ordinary civilian.

"This guy was sneaking around in the grass. I saw some movement over there, so I went over and caught him." The subordinate reported how the prisoner was captured, ignoring why the prisoner was beaten to such a degree. Fortunately, neither Flynn nor Artus were interested in knowing the details.

This guy opened his mouth to defend himself: "It's unfair, sir, I'm just a resident nearby..."

Before he finished speaking, Artus punched him hard, knocking the second half of his words right back into his stomach.

"Pay attention to your identity, you bastard. Now I want to ask you a question. You can answer whatever I ask. No other words are allowed. Remember," Artus said fiercely.

Although this guy had been beaten badly since he was caught, his eyes had been rolling around and he refused to be honest. Such a slippery man was definitely not a good guy, so Artus, who was well-informed, gave him the first blow without any courtesy. He made a show of force.Only after making him clearly aware of the dangers of not telling the truth can it be possible to pry open this guy's mouth.

Flynn originally planned to observe Artus' interrogation, but at this time, a Werner guard came over and informed the Duchess that she wanted to invite the owner of the Bain family to meet at the carriage to express her gratitude.

They took the initiative to invite her, so Flynn couldn't delay and quickly tidied up his appearance. After all, he was going to see the Duchess and he had to leave a good impression on her.

Led by Werner's escort to the carriage, Flynn coughed, cleared his throat, and introduced himself: "Flynn, heir to Viscount Bain, pays homage to the distinguished Duchess."

A clear but solemn voice came from inside the carriage: "May the god worshiped by the hunting white elves protect you, Mr. Flynn. Thank you very much for your generous help to us in danger. Duke Werner and I and the principality Your kindness today will be remembered by all.”

As expected of a duchess, what she said was pleasant to listen to, especially the last sentence was the most important to Flynn. I risked my life just to get into the arms of the Principality of Werner. Well, as long as you remember it.

According to Flynn's memory, the Duchess of Werner was the wife of the previous Duke. After the death of the previous Duke of Werner, his nephew inherited the dukedom. That is to say, the Duchess of Werner is actually the aunt of the current Duke of Werner, so In subjective impression, Flynn always thought that the Duchess must look like 50 or [-] years old, but her voice didn't sound that old. Could it be that the old Duke Werner was eating young grass.

Flynn was not wrong about this. In fact, the Duchess of Werner is the youngest daughter of Duke Ellon. According to her age, she is just 22 years old today. Her sister is the ex-wife of the previous Duke of Werner, and she was later The one she married again was 27 years older than the Duke.

The Duke of Werner has been married to the Neville royal family in the past, and the blood relationship between the two parties is very close. Duke Ellon probably took a fancy to this and married two daughters to the old Duke of Werner, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer. relationship with the royal family.It is a pity that the old Duke of Werner was arrested by Cecilia and imprisoned for ten years. As a result, the previous duchess died of depression after looking for her husband. After the old Duke of Werner was redeemed, he married a second wife. The Duchess died within a few months, and neither Duchess had time to give birth to a child. In the end, the old Duke Werner's nephew was taken advantage of, which can be regarded as Duke Ellon's mistake.

The Duchess was surprised that Flynn was so young, but this immediately aroused a certain instinct in her as a woman. When she heard that Flynn was invited by Duke Zeon to go to Quen, she immediately said that she was too Being invited to attend the wedding ceremony of Duke Zeon's second daughter, it was just a good time to have some company along the way and take care of each other.

Flynn agreed happily, but secretly murmured in his heart, what does it mean to take care of each other? There are not many bodyguards left in the Werner family. The Duchess is afraid of encountering danger again, so the Laban family should be her bodyguards.

However, it was not far from Quen, and Flynn felt that the enemy would not be able to stage a second ambush. It was always a good idea to go to Quen with the Werner family and let old Tibbs know that he had a new backer behind him. Good thing.

As for the ambush, the Duchess shook her head when asked and had no idea. She only knew that she was suddenly attacked and then her servants protected her carriage and ran away. She is still confused to this day. Flynn knew that he could not ask questions from her. Whatever happened, judging by the embarrassment of the Werner guards, they were probably just trying to escape for their lives, and the information they could ask for was limited.

At this time, a guard came over and quietly told Flynn that Artus's interrogation had concluded. Flynn had no choice but to say goodbye to the Duchess. Unfortunately, the Duchess did not come out of the carriage or reveal herself from the beginning to the end. The face made Flynn slightly curious about what the Duchess looked like.
