glorious fall

When Beran was stopped by Chead, he was tending primroses with his attendants. Chead called him twice, but seeing that he didn't respond, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Mr. Medel!"

Bellan was startled, and almost knocked down the attendant who was pruning the laurel branches next to him. The servant said angrily, "Please be careful, sir!" But Bellan didn't care at all.

"Mr. Childer—"

Seeing the surprise on his face, Childe also smiled, "Mr. Medel, today is a good weather."

Bei Lan nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, why did you come to me? Did His Majesty ask you to come?"

Schild nodded, lowered his head and handed him the exquisite wooden box in his hand.

Beran took it, and even greater surprises could not stop flashing in his eyes, so he couldn't help shouting: "Oh, this is—"

Childe said with a smile, "This is the costume His Majesty ordered me to prepare for Mr. Medel's performance at the dinner the day after tomorrow. Your Majesty hopes that Mr. Medel will shine at the banquet so that His Majesty's guests will be fully satisfied. "

Bellan's hands trembled because of excitement, and even his voice couldn't help shaking, "Yes... yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Schelde, and please come and deliver the things yourself, please... please tell His Majesty for me , Let’s just say... Let’s just say that Beran is very grateful for his kindness.”

Seeing his joyful expression, Childe sighed inwardly.

Although Belan Medel was eager to cling to His Majesty, pursued high position and nobility, and his character was not very good, he even kicked Don Gière who was infatuated with him... But this is also different from his childhood. Experience is inseparable, and besides, His Majesty will not feel good if he does this, right?

Childe left, and Bellan was not in the mood to work, and the smile on his face holding the big box never faded away. The attendant who trimmed the laurel branches at the side said contemptuously: "I don't know what to be happy about, I'm already here. It's been so long, do you still want to live the life before again, it's ridiculously naive—"

Another attendant slapped his elbow, and said in a serious voice: "Let him be happy, anyway, he is usually very arrogant, always saying that we are different from him, he is a person favored by His Majesty, and we are always the same It's not as good as that, since that's the case, let him be proud."

Bellan was not affected in the slightest, and returned to his residence with the box in his arms, ready to try on the performance costume that the Pope personally ordered Schild to prepare for him.

"It's rare for His Majesty to bother to think about my clothes during his busy work. I must perform perfectly so that he will always be addicted to my singing."

At night, he hugged the heavy wooden box and fell asleep with a sweet smile on his face.

After a day of running, Sandra and Micah were both exhausted, and they didn't pay attention to whether Karen had sent someone to chase them. On the outskirts of a small town, a floor was laid with dead leaves from last winter, and he fell asleep quickly after being tired.

In the middle of the night, Sandra woke up suddenly. He sat up gently and looked at the scene outside the small bush with the faint light. He found that there was nothing but darkness, but the invisible oppression The feeling made his heart feel uncomfortable, he turned his head to look at Micah, and found that the other's eyes were also wide open, and he was not sleepy.

"It turns out that he is very vigilant, and he must have encountered some unfortunate things before." Sandra thought as she pulled Micah up, and the two hurriedly got on their horses, and Micah drove the horse, and rushed towards the outside of the forest. go.

Just after rushing out of the woods for more than a hundred steps, I heard the sound of horseshoes in the forest behind me, and the ground trembled with the trampling.

There was also a loud roar: "Catch up! It's not far in front of us, hey, kid, get off your horse and follow us back!"

Just as they shouted, Sandra and Micah had already turned onto the avenue, a little further away from them.

However, the pursuers seemed to be unyielding, and Sandra almost turned pale. Listening to the voice, there were at least 80 to [-] people chasing them behind them, and they couldn't see clearly in the night, so it was impossible to judge whether Karen Kidd or Wood Monterey followed.

This wasn't the thing that made him most anxious. What was most anxious was Micah's panting, and the white foam gradually coming out of the horse's mouth. All of these must prove one thing - they were about to be surrounded!

"My lord," Micah's voice was a little erratic against the wind, and he was still panting with difficulty. Sandra almost didn't hear his words clearly, "My lord, what should I do!"

Sandra bit her lower lip tightly for a moment, maybe she tasted the blood, and then he let go: "Micah, listen, the way into the town is ahead, you put me down, and then you run as far as you can to Ruff City , find General Schlott or Captain Pfister Rodier, let them come and save me," he said a series of words, and finally roared, "Did you hear me clearly!"

Micah hesitated: "But—" He flicked the whip, and the horse had already run into the intersection into the town, and the sound of the horse's hooves woke up many people from their sleep.

Sandra looked back at the approaching pursuers, and said coldly: "It's only a two-hour horse ride from Love City, but the horse can't support the two of us anymore, so it's up to you, maybe you bring them here At that time, I hadn't been found by them yet!"

Micah found a remote place that looked like an abandoned house, put Sandra down, nodded abruptly at Sandra, and drove away without looking back.

Sandra listened to the thunderous sound of horseshoes on the road into the town. She wrapped the cloth on her head tightly around her hair expressionlessly, then tore off the clothes at the hem of her clothes and wrapped her hands. She looked up at the crumbling house in front of her. It looked a little eerie in the dark, but its two-story structure played an excellent role in Sandra's eyes.

Bending his fingers, he found that the tightness was just right. He walked into the yard "guarded" by the collapsed fence until the base of the wall. I stepped on it and pressed it, and was satisfied that there was no collapse or slippage, so I jumped, grabbed the hole in the wall, and climbed up.

The pursuers who entered the town here disturbed more people, and even the baby was quarreled and cried. All of a sudden, the town was more lively than the market day, and the pursuers watched the horses helplessly. He disappeared, and when he arrived in the town, he failed to catch up with him, and was overwhelmed by the noise of the whole town. After discussing with Karen, who was ashen-faced, Shaku decided to send half of his people to chase him, and the other half to stay in the town. There was a house-to-house search.

At the beginning, more than 30 people stayed in the homes of residents in the town and encountered fierce resistance. People in each province have different characteristics under their unique local culture. The men in the country are good at hunting, and most of them are strong, with a bold smile and a beard-this is regarded as a symbol of bravery. Puchang River, so most of the commodity exchanges between Eastern Oulis and Western Oulis started from here, so most of the people there are good at making a living on the water, and they are delicate and gentle in mind, but there are also smooth and sophisticated people.In Leman province, one quarter of the mountainous area is combined with three quarters of hills and plains, and one side is close to the sea. The climate here is quite humid, and people are prone to bone pain here. When similar diseases occur, most people like to eat spicy food, so although the people here are very gentle on weekdays, once they feel that they have been violated, they will rush people like spicy food.

The priests and shepherds of the town arrived quickly and saw several men holding tit-shooting powder guns, a woman holding a child and crying, and Karen's party holding torches.They nestled in this town and hadn't seen any serious scenes. However, as the guardians of the whole town, they put their shoulders on the men's shoulders and tried their best to question the group of intruders with the most peaceful voice.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? How dare you break into the houses!"

Karen had a gentle smile on his face. He was already very deceptive, so he managed to ease the tense atmosphere. He changed into a sad and painful expression, and said softly: "Sorry, Mr. Priest, Because my wife eloped with someone, and just after I chased them here, I found that they were gone. I suspected that the man who abducted her was from this place, or that they hid here. I don’t know if I’ve disturbed everyone, but I would like to express my deep apologies for that,” said two lines of tears in his eyes, which made everyone feel a little more sympathy for him, and his attitude softened unconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, he showed his earl's seal, so the townspeople also cooperated a lot. While maintaining a sad expression, Karen asked Shaku to lead people to search carefully. After a long time, the residents of the town They were almost exhausted and couldn't find any clues. Karen's face became more and more gloomy. Shaku came over and said, "Master, the investigation has been completed, and it has been more than three hours now."

Karen's face was gloomy, "Has the person who went after him returned?"

Shaku was taken aback, then shook his head: "Not really." After answering, his face also showed worry.

According to the normal itinerary, at this time... those who were sent to chase after Sandra should have returned.

"Oh, Earl Kidd," a woman patted her forehead, as if suddenly realizing it, "there is an old abandoned house on the west side, maybe your wife may live there temporarily."

Karen excitedly said: "Thank you very much!" He turned his head and told Shaku, "Let's go!"

At this moment, Sandra was leaning against a corner on the second floor of the house.Not daring to relax at all to observe the surroundings, seeing the rising sun, Schlott will soon bring people here, then he can relax and sleep soon, but now is still a dangerous time.

Gradually, he didn't know whether he was hallucinating after concentrating for a long time, or it was real, he vaguely heard a commotion coming from the town.

He shook his head, his heart shivered, and he came.

It's just that I don't know if Micah found Schlott, whether Pfister was there, or whether he was caught up by Karen's men.

"It's here. This used to be the residence of an old nun. Because of her eccentric personality, few people came here. After her death, it was vacant for many years. Basically, this house was abandoned." The women from Keren's group still explained by themselves.

Karen forced a smile: "Thank you, Ma'am." He stepped into the yard, looked up and glanced at the crooked building in front of him, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.

No one dared to speak under his indifferent expression. For a moment, there was only the morning breeze blowing Karen's long hair and the ribbon on his robe.

All quiet.

Sandra's right index finger inadvertently felt a tingle, he suddenly realized something, and secretly screamed "Oops!"

Karen still didn't speak, but he laughed lowly. He squatted down, stretched out his hand caressingly, to touch the green grass that was swaying here and there, and still had traces of being trampled on. It took him a long time before he stopped laughing and stood up Standing up, he looked towards the second floor.

"Sandra, how are you? You still refuse to come out, let me take you back?" Karen walked slowly to the wall, and then found the newly stained dirt in the small hole on the wall.

"..."

Karen wiped a little dirt with his fingertips, put it under the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and smiled for a moment, "Sandra, little moon, you are very flexible, even the dirt is a little dry."

"..."

Karen was not angry either. He just walked around to the front of the house, then raised his head and said loudly, "Sandra! What? Are you going to hide there and wait until I order someone to set fire to invite you out!"

"..."

"—Boom!"

Ke Lun hastily retreated a few steps, waved his hands to disperse the dust in front of him, and Shaku and others rushed over to block him, covering him from the smoke and dust.

"Karen Kidd!"

Karen coughed a few times in embarrassment, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and looked up.

Sandra was holding a piece of wood that was as thick as two arms of a grown man and smiling at him, that smile was indescribably dangerous.

Karen smiled wryly, "Don't...don't get excited, Sandra, I'm just here to pick you up, not to tie you up, and besides, you didn't listen to me and left by yourself, now you've had enough trouble, just follow me Go back, I promise, I will revise those conditions until you are satisfied-this is what suits your appetite, huh?"

That look, that tone, that words, were like an affectionate husband begging his cheating wife to go home, so the townspeople who watched for a long time could not help but persuade: "Madam, since your husband is not I don't mind you going out with people, ahem, going out with people, then you should go back with him, after all, such a good husband is really rare."

Sandra's face darkened.

Husband—Karen Kidd?

He pulled the crossbar in his hand forward, and behind him was the sound of the plank falling down, splashing a pile of dust on the ground.

Karen was about to persuade him not to be impulsive anymore, when Sandra sneered and said: "Karen Kidd, we were raised by Sister Vian back then, so we had some friendship, now I still remind you to hurry up Go back, otherwise, the next moment, you won't be able to leave."

Karen subconsciously followed his gaze to look back, and sure enough, he saw birds scurrying about not far away, looking frightened.

He suddenly changed his color and said loudly, "Go!"

After speaking, he turned around first, went out of the yard, and led his followers to get on their horses and go away.

Sandra breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the crossbar in her hand. Seeing that the crowd of civilians who were watching were already stunned on the spot, she couldn't help but smiled sullenly: "Everyone, if you still have strength in your legs, you might as well move." What about the location? I don't guarantee that after a while, you will be able to stand here completely and watch another good show."

A group of people scattered like birds and beasts.

Nearby, the sound of horseshoes made the ground tremble.

In the distance, only a neat roar was heard——

"My lord, we are here to pick you up!"
