Before leaving, Luchino also handed over his Juliet to Natasha who stayed at the manor to help take care of it.

By the way, Natasha is not the only one staying in the manor. Besides Natasha, there are also Lydia and Galatea.

Galatea is because she is a disabled person in a wheelchair, and her figure does not look like that of an adult woman, so it is difficult to disguise. (The most important thing is that it is difficult to run when you are in danger┐(─__─)┌)

The reason why Lydia stayed was because she was a doctor. When the time came, Natasha would be left alone in the manor. If anything happened, Lydia could help.

Oh, by the way, in addition to the three women, the three Will brothers, Robbie, Emil and other orphans also stayed in the manor.

Although Natasha was a little unhappy about staying in the manor, there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she still had two babies in her belly.

Just after Natasha watched the others leave the manor, she suddenly noticed someone tugging on her sleeve.

"Sister Natasha..." Robbie held a fairy tale book and stood next to Natasha. It was obvious that he wanted Natasha to read him a story.

When he saw Natasha's hand stretched out, Robbie closed his eyes subconsciously. Even though he knew that Natasha could not hurt him, the experience of being abused in the orphanage for many years still made him practice Just this instinct.

"Good boy, which story do you want to hear?" Natasha rubbed Robbie's head and sat on the grass.

Robbie didn't answer immediately. Robbie just looked at Natasha in front of him. Robbie thought of his parents in his mind. Although it was blurry, Robbie thought that if his mother was still alive, she must be the same. Be as gentle as sister Natasha.

Robbie stepped forward and leaned into Natasha's arms. Natasha did not refuse and put Robbie's little hand on her bulging belly.

"Sister Natasha, I want to listen to the juniper tree... No... I don't want to listen to it today..."

Hearing Robbie say this, Natasha was a little surprised, because this child only asked Natasha to tell the story of "The Juniper Tree" every time. Natasha even opened the fairy tale book in her hand in advance. That chapter of "The Juniper Tree."

"Okay, so what do you want to hear?" Natasha asked Robbie the name of the story he wanted to hear, and turned the book to the page of the catalog for easier search.

"..." Robbie was really silent for a long, long time, because he had only heard the story of the juniper tree since he was a child. Apart from that, he had never heard any other stories, and he didn't know the specific name of the story.

But...it was obviously Robbie himself who said he didn't want to hear the story of "The Juniper Tree" anymore, and now Sister Natasha asked him what story he wanted to hear, and it wouldn't be nice if he didn't tell...

Robbie:???

Seeing Robbie's silent expression, Natasha understood something, so she said: "How about we start from the beginning? From the first story to the last one, let's listen to each story again, okay?" good?"

"Okay! (?o? o?)" Robbie was very happy, because in this way Robbie could hear many, many stories.

"So..." Natasha turned the storybook to the first chapter, "Chapter 1... Tinderbox... There was a soldier walking on the road - one, two! One, two! He was carrying a marching soldier on his back. bag, with a long sword hanging on his waist, because he has participated in several wars and is going home now..."

…………one hour later…………

What began as a small story session on the grass between Natasha and Robbie gradually evolved into a story session between Natasha, Robbie, and all the other orphans on a rug spread out on the grass. .

Lydia found the carpet. She thought it was not good for Natasha to sit on the grass. The ground was too cold.

At the same time, there are several plates of snacks, milk and black tea on the carpet. After all, there are too many people here to listen to the story.

Naturally, Natasha would not refuse the orphans who stood by her and wanted to hear stories, but... Natasha told them stories while caressing their broken limbs with some distress. .

Natasha, who is about to be a mother, really sympathizes with the suffering of these children. Although Natasha cannot be a mother to all of them, she can at least give them some maternal love.

"Chapter 15...The ugly duckling..."

………………

the other side……

In order to prevent everyone from getting together, it would make the real murderer suspicious, so... Alva and Lucas's group is in the west of the city, Carl and Juke's group is in the east of the city, Hongdie and Valais The group of Ta and Nabu mainly wandered around the middle of the city, while the rest of the group wandered around the city casually, like taking a walk.

Everything was going according to plan, except that Luchino, who was with Frederic, ran into a little trouble.

Frederick was very, very opposed to wearing a skirt, not to mention that they put this nightgown-like skirt on him and let him walk around the town! ! !ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ

Frederick was already suppressing his anger, but now he completely exploded. (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴

However, Frederic's "outburst" state was nothing more than sulking, walking quickly in front of Luchino, turning around and making faces at him from time to time. ?((?x?))?

Or maybe he deliberately hid at the next corner and let Lucchino find him.

Originally, this was nothing, because the two of them really looked more like a father and daughter. The daughter was having a tantrum in front of her, and the father had no choice but to accompany her daughter.

Everything seemed so harmonious until a ball suddenly flew out of a dilapidated house around the next corner.

The ball flew towards Frederick's head. Fortunately, Luchino behind him caught the ball quickly, otherwise a big bump would have appeared on Frederick's head.

"Who is it!!!" Luchino looked at the ball in his hand and shouted angrily to the whole street, but no one paid him any attention.

Lucchino angrily threw the ball to the ground and crushed it!

Not stepped on!

Because Luchino thought about it at the last second before crushing the ball. Judging from the nearby buildings, the owner of the ball should not be rich. The incident just now was just an accident. Although Luchino Very angry, but he did not crush the ball after all.

"Who is so unqualified that he almost hit a child." Luchino thought to himself as he took Frederick away.

But what neither Luchino nor Frederic noticed was a pair of eyes exposed in the broken window.

………………

"Are you satisfied?" Luchino crossed his arms and looked at Frederick, who was immersed in eating in front of him.

After what happened just now, Frederick also realized that he could no longer lose his temper, but he couldn't let it go, so he asked Luchino to buy him an ice cream, and he obeyed.

Of course the result was this, Luchino bought him an ice cream and successfully blocked Frederic's mouth.

"Why are you two lazy here?!" A beauty with burgundy hair came next to Luchino and Frederick.

The Lord in Yellow looked at the two humans who were slacking off in front of him and was almost furious. Not only did he want to be a bait, but he also wanted to ensure their safety. These two people were actually slacking here! (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

(Quietly) The Lord in Yellow won’t admit it because he is greedy. (*≧m≦*)

"Aren't the kids tired?" Luchino was trying to excuse themselves.

In fact, it was okay if Luchino didn't say anything, but the Lord in Yellow became even more angry when he mentioned it.

Lord in Yellow: Am I not a child? <(`^′)>

"(# ` n′ )..." After the Lord in Yellow sulked for a while, he finally chose to leave. Anyway, after this matter is over, his happy days are still waiting for him, and no one will Don't even think about disturbing him from sleeping under the sea!

It happened that the Lord in Yellow had just left, and Frederick had finished eating his ice cream.

"Let's go." Luchino stretched out his hand to Frederick.

Although Frederick was still a little unhappy, he obediently held Luchino's hand and let him lead him to continue walking on the street.

………ten minutes later………

Luchino bent down directly and picked up Frederick.

At the same time, Frederick didn't struggle or show any resistance because he noticed it too.

"Did you notice that guy at the back?" Luchino whispered in Frederick's ear.

"Yeah." Frederick also noticed it, so he didn't struggle when Luchino picked him up just now.

"Listen to me, I have a plan, Frederick, but it requires you to take a little risk. Do you dare?"

"..." Frederick nodded, because he believed that Uncle Luchino would never let him get hurt.

...............

The people who had been following Luchino and Frederic saw the father and daughter in front of them, and they seemed to be quarreling. In the end, the father seemed to want to scare his daughter, so he threw her on the roadside. gone.

This is a great opportunity...

Although I did this, the little girl was very pitiful, but I'm sorry, I have to obey the orders of my god...

The person behind him reached into his arms, slowly took out the dagger he had prepared, and approached the little girl who was standing there crying.

"Go away!!!" A ball hit the assailant on the back of the head at a fast speed.

Then a figure was seen, rushing over from further behind, pulling Frederick behind him, trying to protect him.

This sudden scene caught Frederick, who was acting as a bait, and Lucchino, who was standing far away but did not actually leave, off guard.

The two of them thought at the same time, who is this person?

(;all)?

Judging from the color of his skin, he must be a foreigner, but why did he come forward to protect Frederick? You know, not many people dare to go out on the street now!

"Go away! Go away!! Don't touch her!!!" The person in front of him raised the bat in his hand and kept waving it in front of him, trying to drive the murderer away, although he himself knew how ridiculous this idea was. But at least protect this little girl.

Even though there was a huge gap between the weapons of the two, and even though he didn't look that big, he still stood firmly in front of the little girl and tried his best to protect her.

The real murderer looked at the scene in front of him. Although he had killed the idiot who tried to protect his wife before, it was night and there was no one on the street.

The agitation caused by the dark-skinned guy's desperate shouting just now made some guys who were not afraid of death stick their heads out of the window. Now the situation is not very good, so they can only stop. This girl is lucky.

"Tch!" The murderer clicked his tongue helplessly, and then wanted to escape from this place.

But Luchino, who had already been ambushing his escape route, immediately sprang out and wanted to stop him.

but……

"Ah!" Luchino was knocked down by the murderer and watched helplessly as the murderer escaped.

What's even more unfortunate is that all the money in the money bag Luchino was carrying was scattered on the street.

(Because he had just bought an ice cream for Frederick, the wallet was not deep.)

"Uncle Luchino!" Seeing this scene in front of him, Frederick immediately ran out from behind the foreigner and rushed towards Luchino's place.

"Don't worry, Frederick, I'm fine." Luchino comforted Frederick while getting up from the ground.

After walking around Luchino and confirming that he was fine and that there were no injuries on his body, Frederick breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then squatted down to help Luchino pick up the scattered money.

The foreigner who had protected Frederick before also stepped forward and picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground.

In this regard, Luchino had no intention of stopping him. After all, he had just stepped forward to protect Frederick, and these were regarded as thank you fees.

"Here..." The foreigner handed the coins he picked up to Lukino. Only then did Lukino know that he didn't want the money, he just wanted to help Lukino pick them up. .

"...I didn't take it." Seeing that Luchino didn't take the money back for a long time, the foreigner thought he was afraid that he would steal the money, so he clarified for himself, although he also knew that for these overbearing British people, Said, this clarification is of no use at all.

"No need to give it to me." Luchino smiled and said to him, "Thank you for protecting me just now. Just consider this as a thank you fee."

Although Luchino said this, the foreigner looked at the gold coins in his hand carefully, and finally stretched out his hand and returned them to Luchino.

"Thank you, big brother. What's your name?" Although Frederick knew that the foreigner in front of him was simply unnecessary to protect him, he was willing to protect a little girl he had never seen before from a serial murderer. This courage deserves praise.
