No matter how frivolous Lia was, she never came home late. Looking at the dark sky outside, Lina frowned slightly. Frightened by Trent, she looked at Taussig restlessly and said, "Your Excellency Taussig, Why hasn't Lia come back?"

Hearing this, he glanced at Lina first, then turned his gaze to Tausig outside the house, frowned, then he stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

While speaking, he had already walked out of the door, and as soon as he was out of Lina's sight, Tausig sped up and galloped out of the village.

Tausig, who made sure that Lia had never been here before, walked around the periphery of the forest without showing any trace, and then shifted his gaze to the residence of Viscount Nelson not far away.

Even more cautious than before, Tausig, who had never been discovered even if he sneaked into the garrison, was looking for Rhea while avoiding the patrol of the guard knights.

Without any effort, he found Lia's figure beside Viscount Nelson. Tausig, who was hidden in the shadow, raised his eyebrows slightly.

It soon became clear that Lia was voluntary rather than being coerced, and Tausig's lips curled up into a sneer, and there was nothing he didn't understand.

Hiding his figure deeper, Tausig glanced at Lia again, and disappeared into the station like a ghost.

Since this is her choice, he is willing to respect her choice.

I hope she won't regret her choice in the future.

Just as he saw that Lia was voluntary at a glance, Tausig also saw the nature of the playboy Viscount Nelson.But he didn't remind Lia, not because he was happy to see Lia's misfortune, but because he knew that Lia, who had been dazzled by wealth, could no longer listen to other people's reminders.

"How is it, how is it? Your Excellency Taussig, have you found Liya?" She said anxiously when she was caught by Lina as soon as she opened the door and entered.

"found it."

"Then..." Lina, who didn't see Liya behind Tausig, was not relieved after hearing this, but became more anxious.

Now that she found it, why didn't Lia come back? Could it be that something happened... Lina's face turned pale, not daring to think about it.

"She was invited by the viscount, and she will be back tomorrow." Tausig said truthfully without any personal exaggeration.

"Invited by His Excellency the Viscount?" Lina asked with a blank expression.

"Ah."

I don't know whether to be relieved or to be more worried. After Lina was at a loss, the sorrowful expression in front of her brows became more intense, and this sorrow also made her more tender and pitiful.

Even though it was known that Lia was invited by Viscount Nelson, she was still very worried. Lina tossed and turned without sleeping well all night, and woke up just after dawn.

Lina didn't sleep well all night, and Tausig, who was disturbed by her, didn't sleep all night, so he opened his eyes as soon as Lina got up.

"Your Excellency Taussig, get up too... Sorry, did I disturb you?" After realizing that Taussig seemed to be woken up by herself, Lina felt uneasy and apologized.

"No."

"I'm sorry." Even if Tausig said no, she blamed herself very much, and Lina apologized.

"It's ok."

"I..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sudden sound of pushing the door. Looking at Lina at the door, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards the door.

"Lia, you are back!!!!" Lina said happily.

"Yeah." She agreed very perfunctorily, and Liya looked at Tausig standing behind Lina without showing any traces, and before Tausig could look back, she quickly closed her eyes and stopped looking at Tausig grid.

Her guilty appearance quickly attracted Tausig's attention.

Just thinking about it, she knew why she was so guilty, and Tausig raised the corners of his lips to reveal a sarcastic smile.

Do you think he will block her path to wealth?

She really thinks highly of herself.

After all, only those who truly love her will stop her, right?

Unfortunately, he is not that person.

"Great, great." Lina kept crying as she hugged Liya tightly.

Feeling flustered and annoyed by Lina's crying, Lia, who gradually became impatient, frowned and pulled Lina down: "I have something to tell you."

"?" Forcibly pulled away by Lia, Lina looked at Lia with tears in her eyes and a little blank.

"..., I will only stay for a while, and I will leave after a while." After all, she is not very old, and even if she is vain, she has the softness unique to a girl, and her impatience has faded a little. Liya paused and then said.

"Leave?" Not understanding why Liya said that, Lina continued to ask with blank eyes.

"Well, Lord Viscount Nelson likes it very much and wants me to be his personal maid, so after Lord Viscount Nelson leaves, I will leave with him."

Lina still looked at Lia blankly.

Lia chose to remain silent.

Retreating in a daze, Lina said nah: "..., Lord Viscount Nelson likes you very much?"

Leah: "Yeah."

Lina: "I want you to be his personal maid?"

Leah: "Yeah."

Lina: "Are you going to leave with Viscount Nelson?"

Rhea: "..., um."

Lina burst into tears: "Are you leaving too? Are you leaving me like your brother?"

She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it out of her mouth. After a moment of silence, Liya hummed.

She did have the idea of ​​taking Lina away with her, but——

Thinking of this, she glanced at Lina, who was standing in front of her with a pear blossom and rainy appearance, and Liya instantly dismissed this thought.She didn't want to share the love of the viscount with anyone, even if that person was her sister.

"It's getting late, I'm going back." Ignoring Yana's tears, Liya said cruelly while turning her head away.

But she didn't leave right away. After a moment of silence, she hesitated and said, "After I settle down with Lord Viscount Nelson, I will pick you up, so..."

"Can't you leave?" Before Lia finished speaking, she interrupted halfway, Lina grabbed Lia's sleeve and burst into tears.

Without answering Lina, Liya silently rejected Lina.

"Riya, don't go, don't go!!!" After grabbing Lia's sleeve, she grabbed her wrist, but unfortunately, before Lina grabbed Lia's wrist, she broke away. But Lina was not relieved, she grabbed Lia's arm again.

"I'm sorry." Throwing Lina away again, Liya softly said sorry, and strode out the door.

"Riya, Riya!!! Don't go, don't go, okay?!!!" After chasing out, Lina cried and shouted, but Lia, who was determined, never looked back this time.

Knowing that she couldn't stop Lia, Lina, who was teary-eyed, cried and asked Taussig for help, "Your Excellency Taussig?"

This cry for help was heard not only by Tausig, but also by Liya, who was not far away. Liya, whose body froze, clenched her fists involuntarily.

She was really afraid that Tausig would let her stay.

For some reason, she always had a feeling that——

If Tausig really didn't want her to leave, even Lord Viscount Nelson couldn't let her go.

Without missing Lia's clenched fists, Tausig's lips once again evoked a hint of sarcasm, and he replied: "If this is her choice, I am willing to respect her choice."

Hearing this, Liya immediately felt relieved, and didn't want to make any more troubles, and soon disappeared in the path leading to the residence of Viscount Nelson.

At the same time, Lina burst into tears again as she watched Lia's resolutely leaving back.

Even Lia left her, and now she only has Lord Taussig.

Although time can heal the pain, it can't remove the scars. Lina, who has been seriously ill since Liya left, has lost a lot of weight even though she stopped crying after recovering.

If it is said that before Lina still possessed the bodybuilding and vitality unique to a young girl, then the pale and thin she is now only weak and weak, but this appearance of her is even more attractive because of her undamaged beauty. Compassionate.

Perhaps because the two relatives left one after another, Lina became more sensitive and clingy. She felt that she had nothing to rely on, and unconsciously regarded Tausig as her spiritual pillar and the motivation to live.

As time passed, Lina, who became more and more dependent on Tausig, even had the idea of ​​wanting to marry Tausig, but this idea only flashed in her mind, and then disappeared without a trace no trace.

It's not that I dislike Tausig's age (after all, in Lina's view, ten years can make a teenager grow up to middle age, let alone an adult like Tausig.), nor is it that I dislike Tausig Ugly (Actually, there is a beard blocking it, Lina can't tell whether Tausig is ugly or good-looking at all, she only knows that Tausig's eyes may be beautiful, why say maybe, it is because she I didn’t read it carefully at all.), but——, Lina didn’t tell anyone. In fact, she, like Lia, was deeply afraid of Tausig.

Sometimes Lina herself wonders why she is afraid of Tausig, who has done her best to raise them.

After thinking for a long time, Lina finally thought of a possibility, that is, when Tausig taught Lia a lesson, she also scared her.

Later, Lina felt that maybe it was because Tausig was too cold and not easy to approach, that made her so afraid!

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Tausig asked, holding a bag of fresh ginger.

The successive departures of Trent and Rhea caused a large loss of labor force in the Taft family. It is impossible for Lina to support herself by making cheese alone, so now she relies entirely on Tausig to buy ginger to support her. She, of course, pays taxes.

"No." Taking the pre-made dry bread (continue to remind, unfermented dry hard bread-shaped wheat dough), and the beer in the leather pot to Tausig, Lina shook her head gently road.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly said, "By the way, the salt is gone. Your Excellency Taussig, can you bring some salt back?"

"Okay, I see, is there anything else?" Tausig asked again after taking the bread and wine and putting them in the ginger bag.

"No more." Lina shook her head again.

"I'm leaving."

"I wish Your Excellency Taussig a safe journey."

"En." He nodded to Lina invisibly, and Tausig strode out of the house. With his big strides, he disappeared into the path in a blink of an eye.

After watching Tausig leave, Fang turned and entered the room when he could no longer see Tausig's back. Lina picked up the wool that Aunt Maggie gave her and pounded the felt carefully.

After selling the ginger, he sold all the newly picked peppers this year. Tausig, who exchanged the silver coins for gold coins, left the market and rushed back after picking up the gold coins. However, he did not return to the village immediately. After dawdling in the forest for nearly two days, he returned to the village.

As soon as he entered the yard, he felt that something was wrong. Tausig glanced at it without showing any signs, hid in the corner, and looked at his master Tom with his head.

The door was ajar, and the room was a bit messy. This kind of mess wasn't caused by not tidying up the house, but because it seemed that many people poured in and then came out again. What's more, he didn't see Li in the house. Na.

"What happened?" Tausig said suddenly when he exited the room, but unfortunately, no one answered him.

"Master Tom, I know you are here, what happened?"

"Hmm." Seeing that Tausig had discovered his existence, he stopped hiding, and Master Tom, who came out from behind the corner of the room, coughed lightly.

Because I like to study, the news is very well-informed. In the eyes of others, even Lia and Lina think that the things that Earl Richard the Blue Iris gave to Tausig are that Tausig exchanged cheese formula for It came back, but Master Tom knew where the cheese formula was exchanged for, and it was actually sent by the Earl Richard.

Being flattered by a nobleman who is already an earl, one can imagine how precious the status of the lord before him is, so Master Tom's attitude towards Tausig has become even more obsequious and respectful.

"Your Excellency Taussig, are you back?" Master Tom said with a flattering smile as he clasped his hands together nervously.

"What's going on here? Where's Lina?" Tausig asked, tapping the room with his chin.

Looking into the house in the direction Tausig pointed, Master Tom paused before speaking.

"You said Lina was taken away by some servants?"

"Yes."

How come the Taft family is so lucky?

First, the old Taft picked up the great nobleman Taussig, and then Taft's eldest daughter was taken away by a viscount.Although Trent's kid disappeared, it made them panic for a while, but he heard that Trent's kid didn't disappear, he went to become a knight, and in the end it was this little daughter, even though she was plundered by a group of servants go, but don't see whose servant it is.

I don't know whether to be jealous or to be envious, but in short, I am envious of Master Tom who has been round and round, thinking in his heart with a sour tone.

"Do you know which house they belong to?"

"I know, I know. I had people stop them when I saw them robbing people, but they said that they are the servants of Viscount Nelson, so we dare not stop them anymore." Afraid that Tausig would blame him, Master Tom said quickly road.

That was a servant of the viscount, how dare they stop him, so Lord Taussig shouldn't blame him for not stopping Lina, right?

"Viscount Nelson?"

Who is that?

Tausig frowned, never caring about unimportant people.

"Lord Viscount Nelson is the one who took Lia away some time ago." It's not surprising that Tausig forgets so much, Master Tom hurriedly said.

It was him.

Now that he knew who took Lina away, Tausig also guessed why they took Lina away.

But after thinking about it, Tausig felt something was wrong again, no matter how much Lia hated him and was afraid of him, it was impossible to take Lina away without telling him!

It's weird isn't it?

With a responsible attitude, Tausig decided to follow them to see if these people were really sent by Lia.

He first expressed his thanks to Master Tom, and after Master Tom finished chatting with him and reluctantly left, Tausig went into the house to pack up his things and walked out of the village.

This world and this era are not the later generations that Tausig lived in. Not only are towns connected to towns, but transportation is also developed in all directions. Sometimes in this world, even if you walk for a few days, it is very likely that you will not meet a town, and because there are no roads It becomes very difficult to find someone.

what?

Don't you know the name of the viscount? Why is it so difficult to find him?

There is no police station in this world, and there is no household registration. Even if you know the other person's name and identity, it is not easy to find someone.

After all, there are really too many nobles in this world.

What's more, the viscount's castle is not near Mr. Tom's village, and Tausig is not a dog, so even if he spent nearly a month, he couldn't find any trace of Lina, and the viscount Your Excellency's Castle.

But hard work pays off, and Tausig's carefulness and observation finally allowed him to discover some clues.

Looking at the castle built on the top of the mountain from a distance, without any dreamy atmosphere, instead it looks like a bunker. After thinking about it, Tausig decided to act again at night.

Yes, the castles of this era are not the ones in later generations that are as extravagant as Neuschwanstein Castle, full of fairytale dreams.

The ancient castle of this era is not so much a place for the nobles to rest as a military fortress for defense.

Since it is a military fortress, it is of course impossible to focus on comfort. The ancient castle built with rocks not only looks very rough on the outside, but even the inside can only be described as simple and rough like its appearance.

In order to prevent the enemy from using bows and arrows and trebuchets, there are very few windows on the outer wall of the castle, so the interior of the castle is always dark. Since the sun cannot shine, it is naturally very humid.In addition, the construction level at that time was not up to standard, and there would inevitably be some cracks on the walls and roof, so it would leak heavily when it rained, which made the cleaning of the castle very problematic.

However, people in this world still have a poor concept of hygiene in this era, so those seemingly majestic castles are usually full of dust, cobwebs, bedbugs, fleas, mosquitoes, flies and household garbage, which may not be as good as the cardboard houses of the tramps of later generations clean.
