under the field

Scarlett

"Child." When the priest looked at me, the gentleness and tolerance in his eyes disintegrated all my fatigue, and I suddenly had the desire to talk.In this quiet and holy place, I want to tell everything without any scruples.

I looked at the priest and said, "My love...he was imprisoned in the Klink Prison by them." As I said this, my eyes gradually became hot. "I think I need consolation."

"Child, here, you have this right, anyone has it, and no one will bother you." He said gently, and I could see my embarrassment and gradually disintegrating emotions in his peaceful pupils.

"Thank you." I choked up and patted my back lightly with my generous and warm palm. I said, "He'll be fine, right? He's a good man."

"No, child. Good people will be blessed and will not end badly." But I am extremely confused about the next road.Whether it's a wide avenue or a bottomless cliff, I really don't know.

"Here," the priest pointed me to the pew in the center of the church, facing the place where the stained glass in front illuminated. "You can sit there and pray, I hope this will calm you down," he said softly. "You'll have the answers in the end."

I slowly sat down on the seat according to the position of the light.The warm sunlight hits my hair, but what I experienced just now is like a thrilling experience that can only be encountered in the dark night. How can it be so peaceful here, when the outside is full of sinful and chaotic disputes?

My hands were once covered with blood.

I killed the guard.

People who protected me died because of it.

I became a traitor in my family.

My companion's fate is uncertain.

Some of them are even taking risks with their own lives, and they are still dealing with minions.

The one I love is behind bars, and here I am.

God, forgive me, forgive my helplessness and hesitation, forgive me for being weak and weak...forgive me...

I slowly leaned on the back of the seat in the front row, as if it was my only support, and this moment is the only time I have peace of mind.

No one interrupted me. I was the only one left in this space. The quiet voice echoed in my ears. It turns out that the most quiet is the noisiest voice in my heart. It seems that as long as I raise my head, everything will disappear and return to the original point.

I raised my head from my arms, the sun had already set, the light and shadow disappeared, and the church was already dark.

There were only gentle yellow candles left in the lobby, and the priest lit up both rows of candles.

And standing in the flickering candle shadow, my companions were there. I don't know when they have been standing there, quietly and did not choose to disturb me.

Their faces are invariably full of toil after running and exhaustion after fighting.This group of Jacob's men, they have fought bravely in the killing for so long, this clean land should have gone against their temperament, but their eyes are so sincere.

They are the real good people, the souls who really deserve to be redeemed and enter heaven, but in order to protect the only holiness and tranquility in this land, they violated the original intention of pure kindness time and time again, and fell into the torrent of fighting involuntarily. in evil.

God, I slowly looked at every face in front of me.Please must liberate their souls, please must.Because they paid too much, but they still straightened their backs and chose to continue fighting ahead.

Please, guard their bodies and take them to the quietest place. They deserve the most pure peace. They have paid too much for their people and partners...

Nigel first broke my silence with them.

"You're like an angel, when you sit down there." (When you sat there, I thought it was an angel.)

Me too.I smiled at them again, trying to see what they looked like.

"Where are the others?" I asked softly, afraid of disturbing this rare moment.

"We lost a few brothers, but most of them are fine," Jamie replied. "I think Ed placed your crossbow-arrow outside the church door on purpose so we could find you."

"I really have to be grateful to him..." I can still vividly remember Ed's appearance of protecting me just now, but he was seeking skin from a tiger in the most dangerous position. I can't imagine the day when things will be revealed. Can hurry to the end of the day.

I looked at Carl and Shay who were standing on the sidelines. "We met as scheduled." As planned, the time was just different, but in the end we all got together again without incident.

"It seems that the rookie team is also reliable." Carl shrugged pretending to be relaxed, as if we had just experienced a small twists and turns.I wanted to crack a smile, but I heard my own unsteady voice asking him: "How is he...?"

He looked me in the eye silently for a few seconds before finally saying, "He's not doing well."

I thought he would lie at least to comfort me, but this is Carl, but the truth is like a sharp knife in the heart, and the pain spreads from the tip of the heart.

"They interrogated him brutally, and Reggie was a real son of a bitch," Carr said. "But sooner or later he's in a condition where they're going to take him to the ambulance."

"Which asylum?" Nigel's face was livid.

"I don't know, Reggie has always been elusive."

I suddenly said, "Holy Hospital." Everyone looked at me, "Ed said, they will send him to Holy Hospital."

"Then we have to find a way to go to the Holy Hospital to rescue Lord Colin." Shay said hastily.

"Isn't this nonsense? We are thinking of a way, you have to imagine that your Lord Colin will not be able to walk by then!" Nigel was a little annoyed, but he didn't continue to speak out of concern for me, and then He chose to curse in a low voice, but found that this was a church, so he sat down a little annoyed.

"Cartier." I admired that I was still sober and logical at the moment, after learning about this series of events.I said, "Cartier's aunt is a nun at Wells St Hospital."

Jamie gestured a cross on his chest, as if he had finally found a solution.He went on to say: "All the Jacobs will arrive in the Imperial City before the end of this month, which is another week."

"And our plan can go to the next step. First, we need to eradicate the Sunderland. He has the most guards in his hands." Carl continued.

I suddenly became a little excited. In this peaceful environment, they began to discuss all the plans for the future.Killing should have been separated from this holy place, but right now, this place has become our sanctuary, a place of refuge for us to discuss our plans.

With all the worries and fears, next, we will step by step into the abyss at the end of the world, gone forever.

When a group of tall and thick men stood in front of the old priest, although their burly and magnificent figures were somewhat intimidating, the old priest still looked at all beings as equals, and stared lovingly at all the children he thought were the Lord's children.He didn't care how much blood was on the hands of these people in front of him, he only knew that people who would express their gratitude to the rescuers after receiving help from others would not be bad-hearted souls.

He finally put the cross on the chest of the youngest Shay, looking at the Jacob rebels facing him side by side, he still expressed his words without haste.

May God bless you, he said to each of us.

Then he led us out of the small door of the church, where we can return to the noisy and complicated world outside.Finally, I looked back at the pious and loving eyes of the old priest standing under the dim lights. May God bless this pure land forever, I whispered in my heart.

I went to TheSwam with Jamie and Carl.Cartier's belly has begun to show a more obvious bulge, and there are still people playing violins and flutes in the tavern, as if no matter how chaotic the disputes outside are, they will never reach here.

Cartier is like a pregnant woman filled with exciting hormones. She is very excited about our upcoming plan. I think if she is not pregnant, she will definitely join us regardless of dissuasion.Jon pulled her to stand up a little excitedly, while protecting her stomach, answered Cartier's excited but forgotten reply, and promised to negotiate with Cartier's aunt for us immediately.

"You know, the temper of the nun is a bit difficult to deal with." Jon laughed, "but I will definitely take care of it for you."

Cartier put my hand over her belly before leaving.

Godblessyou. She winked at me.

It was already late at night when we returned to Wellsburg again, but the night lights of the fortress were still burning high, demonstrating to outsiders who could not enter the valley. Not to succumb to any cunning bone claws.This is a fortress that will never fall, and it is a group of gray sparrows that will never compromise.

Selena and Otis led the people in the castle to stand at the gate to welcome us back.At first she was still tense, standing there like a queen who despises ants, but when I got off the horse and walked in front of her, she came up and gave me a bear hug regardless of the eyes of others.

"Your man is rough and fleshy, I didn't say it, it was my man." She leaned her head tightly against my ear, "So don't be afraid, girl Hastings, he'll be fine."

"We're all going to be together, we're going to rescue him, we're going to get to the end together," she said.

Carl knocked on my door three mornings later and told me that Jon was waiting in the study.He brought a nun's gown from Wells St Hospital, and a list of Clink prison inmates arriving at the ambulance two days later.

I ran my fingers lightly over the name on it, and kept repeating it in my mind.

"We already announced yesterday that Colin, who was exchanging Jacob, would come back, that's why they arranged for him to go to the ambulance on this day." Jamie said.

"Exchange hostages?" Jon asked puzzled, "Then how would you do it?"

Nigel and Jamie looked at each other with a shrewd light in their eyes: "Of course, if they want a princess..."

"Then we'll give them a princess."
