The Defeated Dragon

that day.

Maggie did not go with Paris, but stayed at Mrs. Harriet's house. Paris's lunch was also eaten at Mrs. Harriet's.

Liszt didn't immediately go to the bottom of it, interrogating Paris about her background.

Just like fishing a big fish with a long line, the fishing line cannot be kept in a tight state all the time, otherwise it will be broken by the big fish. What needs to be done is to relax for a while, tighten up for a while, trembling constantly, consume the physical strength of the big fish, and finally catch the big fish.

Life as a lord is boring.

Therefore, Liszt has enough time to enjoy this means of manipulating people's hearts. If a lord can't control people's hearts, he is not a qualified lord. Whether it is seduction with benefits, bewitching with honor, or even threats to restrain, they are all means of manipulation.

After lunch, he met old Grandet again and told him: Go and remind Mrs. Harriet that the way Maggie doesn't have to leave is actually very simple. Just let her sister Paris stay in the flower garden The town is fine.

Old Grandet is now an official of the town, full of energy: My lord, maybe it is more appropriate for me to talk to Dennis, let Dennis remind Harriet.

Dennis is Mrs. Harriet's husband.

Can.

Old Grandet took the order and left.

In the afternoon, Liszt thought that Maggie would ask for leave to be with his sister. However, unexpectedly, Maggie came to the castle to practice together with other maids and servants.

Mr. Carter, call Maggie here.

Yes, sir.

After Maggie arrived, Liszt asked directly: Maggie, why don't you go to accompany your sister, you can ask for leave.

Master, I want to work, work, and stay in Flower Town...I don't want to leave. Maggie is both happy and troubled now. Her sister, whom she has been thinking about day and night, appears as scheduled, but she does not want to leave Harriet's family. And this fine town, and its benevolent lord.

She may be very young, but she has seen the lord in her hometown, riding on a tall horse, beat the serfs with whips at every turn.

Once, her father was severely whipped ten times by the lord.

But in Flower Town,

She had never seen Liszt whip anyone, and even if he whipped, it was officials punishing commoners who made mistakes. In her simple concept, a benevolent lord deserves everyone to follow.

It's okay, Maggie, as long as you don't want to leave, whether it's Mrs. Harriet or me, I will let you stay. Now go back and be with your sister, and I will ask Mr. Carter to give you half a day off.

Master, can I really, can I stay?

Yes.

Um!

...

Maggie went back from vacation happily and found her sister.

The two sisters strolled around Flower Town all afternoon, and Maggie shared the peanuts she fried in the castle kitchen, and then Paris gave her a pendant.

The pendant is not very beautiful, because what hangs on it is not gems or crystals, but two crumpled leaves, one large and one small.

Take her, Maggie, and don't lose it.

What kind of leaves are they, sister?

The large leaves with wavy edges are oak leaves, and the small oblong leaves are mistletoe leaves, Paris explained. Mistletoe is a plant that lives on oak trees. It represents Symbolizing hope and abundance, the oak represents strength and unyielding.

Maggie understood, and put the pendant into her clothes.

Sister, do you want to leave?

Maggie, leave with me, let's go home.

Maggie lowered her head: But Mom and Dad were killed, and our village was also destroyed. What can we do when we go back?

This... my sister will protect you, we can find a place to start a new life. Paris made a pose with her arms bent and her biceps bulging, You have to believe in my sister's strength, even if you don't become A magician, but more powerful than a magician.

But I think Flower Town is pretty good. The lord will protect us. Moreover, I have a new mother, and Mrs. Harriet is my mother.

Dinner, still at Mrs. Harriet's house.

Paris once again proposed to take Maggie away. At this time, Mrs. Harriet, who had already been reminded, asked quietly: Paris, why are you so persistent in letting Maggie leave with you? She is just a nine How can a young girl adapt to a wandering life?

I'll take care of her, Mrs. Harriet.

Of course I know that you are her sister, but have you ever considered it?

Think about what?

Stay in Flower Town. Mrs. Harriet smiled, If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay in Flower Town, can't you? I have lived in Flower Town for twenty years, it is quiet and undisturbed, my son Growing up and getting married here, he's going to have a baby soon and Maggie can grow up here too.

Paris never thought about it.

But after she was stunned for a moment, she felt that this was indeed an interesting proposal. She traveled thousands of miles to Coral Island to rescue her sister who was bought and sold. However, her life is very good now, so what is the meaning of this rescue, and why should she be persistent? Yu took his sister away.

I'll think about it, Mrs. Harriet, thanks for the hospitality.

That night, Paris did not mention the matter of taking Maggie away, and she still lived in the noble residence at night. Of course, Liszt generously waived her accommodation fee. He has already learned about the progress of Paris and Maggie through the old Grandet and others.

Know that things are stable.

Probably tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, Paris will take the initiative to ask to stay... If she is outside, there is no reason to go back.

But beyond Liszt's plan, Paris visited the castle that night.

This time she did not rely on invisibility to lurk in, but showed up to pay a visit, and Carter stayed in the lobby to wait. When Carter knocked on the door and entered the study to ask for instructions.

Liszt, who was reading a book, nodded calmly: Ask her to come into the study and make two cups of milk tea by the way.

After a while, Paris was led by Carter.

After she was seated, she said without any nonsense, Baron, I used to be a thief mercenary in the mercenary regiment in the Grand Duchy of Maple Leaf. Although I have left, I still retain the status of a registered mercenary. I don't know if you need to hire A mercenary is working for you.

The Grand Duchy of Maple Leaf, like the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, is one of the vassal states of the Iron Ridge Kingdom.

It sounds like you plan to stay in Flower Town and take care of Maggie? Liszt nodded, Well, let me introduce myself first. You said you killed a nobleman, and I am also a nobleman, so I want to make sure you stay In Huahua Town, there will be no troubles for Huahua Town.

Don't worry, I did kill a lot of nobles, and I was still wanted in the Maple Leaf Grand Duchy, but no one would chase after such a remote island country and trouble me.

Paris unceremoniously picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip: It tastes very good, it is definitely the milk from the first-class cows... If you want to hear my story, there is nothing to hide. For Hiding from the marriage, I left home when I was fifteen to find a magician and learn magic.
