In the days of rebirth as a lord

No wonder His Highness insisted on reorganizing new soldiers.Conrad thought to himself, and he also had a good impression of the patrol guards who were willing to go deep into the forest to take risks for His Royal Highness. He felt that if the patrol guards really replaced those knights one day, it would not be a bad thing.

After Conrad left, some knights reluctantly asked Carona: "Captain, are we really going to find those slaves in the forest? It's so cold outside now, Your Highness really wants to get out."

"Your Highness has ordered, how can we not take any action at all? Let's get the horses out, go for a run, and catch a few rabbits to come back to barbecue. As for those slaves... the forest is so big, who knows where they went gone."

The implication is that they intend to work without any effort. After all, even if no one is found, His Highness has no reason to punish them.

The other knights also understood what Carona meant, and immediately laughed: "The captain is smarter!"

So the wise knight captain took the loyal knights to wander around the edge of the forest for a while, and then came back to report: "I am very sorry, Your Highness. We did not find any traces of other people in the forest."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Cecil didn't make trouble so unreasonably that he asked people to go to the forest to find someone in the dark. After all, doing so would not be looking for someone, but to die.Therefore, we can only give up.

At night, Cecil lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time. He could faintly hear some noisy noises outside, but when he listened carefully, it sounded like wind and snow.Is it snowing more?The sound insulation effect of this castle is so good, the sound outside the window doesn't sound very real...

The bedroom door was pushed open gently.

The only person in the entire castle who could enter Cecil's room without knocking was the trusted old butler Conrad.It happened that Cecil couldn't sleep and was thirsty, so he sat up and said, "Conrad, pour me a glass of water."

The water was quickly handed over to Cecil's hands, and it was just warm, suitable for drinking.

Cecil drank the water, handed the cup back to the man, and said worriedly: "Is it snowing harder outside? I don't know how Mu Ziyu and the others are doing. Can they find a place to hide from the snow? ——" Then Cecil heard a deep voice whispering softly in his ear: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm back."

Hearing this familiar voice, Cecil's eyes widened in disbelief, and he carefully looked at the person beside him in the faint light from the fireplace.This...is this Mu Ziyu? !

"Are you really back? It's really you!" Cecil murmured.

Mu Ziyu chuckled, "How about I light the lamp and let Your Highness identify it carefully?"

"Come on! Hurry up! It's agreed that if you don't come back for three days, I will punish you. You can figure out how many days it is today..." Cecil hurriedly urged him, he had no sleepiness at all right now. , There are so many things I want to say to Mu Ziyu!

After the lamp was turned on, the light in the room became brighter, and Cecil also clearly saw Mu Ziyu's appearance.

It seems that it was cleaned up briefly before coming here. There is no dust or mud on Mu Ziyu's body, and his clothes have been changed into clean ones. Only the tiredness on his face and the red blood in his eyes prove that this person has just rushed back from the icy and snowy world outside. .

"I failed to come back on time as agreed with His Highness, how will His Highness punish me? No matter what punishment, I will accept it." Mu Ziyu knelt down beside Cecil's bed, looking at Cecil's face with burning eyes. Said the eyes.
