Chapter 583 Anna's Secret

When Anna opened her eyes, there was a piece of fiery red everywhere, and the scorching air rushed towards her face, scalding her skin with pain.

flame.

Flames were everywhere, and thick smoke billowed from under the shed, choking people to breathe.

Crying came from the inner room, or it was just a hallucination, the wood crackled and exploded under the licking of the flames, and sparks and burning pieces of wood fell from the top of the head from time to time. She climbed down from the haystack and tried to take two steps towards the back room, but was quickly pushed back by the heat wave.

In the end, she could only escape from the wooden house by rolling and crawling, and watched the house being engulfed in raging fire.

Neighbors also gathered around, and some people began to help put out the fire, but the nearest water source was the Chishui River outside the town, and the few cans of water that were finally brought in were useless in the face of the fire.

After going back and forth several times, Anna finally saw her father.

He had just rushed back from the mine, still wearing a dirty coat, his face was covered with gray-black dust, and he was standing beside the burned-out house with a blank expression.

As if seeing the backbone, she could no longer suppress the panic and panic in her heart, tears rolled down like beads, and ran to her father crying, hugging him tightly.

However, her father did not comfort her as much as she hoped.

He grabbed her shoulders so hard that she screamed out in pain,

Anna shook her head, but she didn't expect that what followed was a slap in the face.

Anna suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, the scolding seemed to still be echoing in her ears, and it hadn't dissipated for a long time.

It was this dream again.

She picked up the cup by the bed, drank the cold water, and it took a while to recover.

Every month at the beginning of the month, Anna would dream of this scene, as if someone in her mind was reminding her, she turned her head to look at the calendar on the desk, today happened to be the end of the first weekend of summer, and it was also the time when the Witch Union paid out the salary. day.

She got dressed, washed up briefly, and then walked out of the castle to the witch's building in the backyard.

"Sister Anna!" Upon seeing her, Ling immediately burst into laughter, "You came so early!"

"Good morning," Wendy smiled softly, "The weather looks good today, do you want to go to Beipo Mountain later?"

"Master Anna..." the two former classmates hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Just call me Anna as usual." She waved her hand, sat down at the long table, hesitated, "I have other things to do, and I won't be there until the afternoon."

"Oh? That's really rare," Wendy showed interest, "Could it be with His Majesty Roland..."

"Shopping!" Bell shouted.

Pearl and Gray Rabbit at the side couldn't help laughing.

Anna shook her head, but did not continue.

Wendy didn't ask, but took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to her, "This month's salary, two gold dragons."

"Thanks."

Witches don’t need to prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation by themselves. Even if it is a luxury item sold in the convenience market, they will basically try it out first. Even if they want more, it is not a problem. I understand why His Majesty insisted on doing this. Anna was able to roughly guess Roland's intentions, and this move helped her invisibly.

Returning to the castle hall with the salary, the chief knight Carter Lannis was already waiting there.

"Miss Anna," he got up and asked, "is it the same as usual?"

"Well," she took out a golden dragon from the envelope and handed it to the knight, "as usual."

...

When Border Town was rebuilt, all the aborigines were allocated a house, and Anna's father was no exception.

After he sold Anna to the church for twenty-five gold dragons, Anna never had any communication with him again.

From that moment on, he was no longer her father.

But there are some things that she can't completely stay out of.

For example, this golden dragon used as living expenses.

Probably like most poor people who get a sudden windfall, he didn't keep the money for long-gambling, fraud and theft made him fall into poverty in just half a year, before Anna's reputation was revealed, However, he was recognized by some aborigines when he used fire to seal the gap in the city wall. He once tried to entrust his neighbors to find his daughter, but was rejected by the neighbors and was even ridiculed. Later, the matter reached the ears of Carter, who was in charge of forming the militia, and Carter revealed it to Anna.

From then on, she knew that she had to do something to silence her father who had betrayed her.

She didn't want the other party to cause trouble to Roland.

The two came to a quiet community in the east of the city and climbed up to the second floor of the building.

Carter turned around, "Miss Anna, just wait for me here."

"sorry to bother you."

"No, it's just a matter of raising your hands." He walked to a door and slammed on the door panel.

After a while, the door creaked open, "Ah... so it's Lord Knight, I..."

"Why did it take so long to open the door, are you deaf!" Carter scolded, "Get out of the way, don't block the door."

"Yes Yes……"

Maybe that's fine.

Anna leaned against the wall of the aisle, sighing softly in her heart.

To be honest, she didn't want to bother with this one-time father at all, but she knew that leaving it alone would only make the situation worse. And she can't come forward in person, otherwise the paranoia and arrogance of not being able to see the situation clearly will make the other party habitually put on the prestige of a father, which will not have a deterrent effect.

Instead of begging him, it is better to let him realize that the status of the two is as different as heaven and earth. Carter, as the chief knight well-known to the people in the border area, is already a great nobleman in the eyes of ordinary people. Using this golden dragon as a fee to keep his mouth shut, plus some stern warnings, should be able to keep him quiet, and His Majesty does not need to Carry an extra burden for this.

Anna didn't understand the relationship between them before.

Since she was arrested and imprisoned, she lost interest in everything, and the world turned into a dead gray. It wasn't until Roland rescued her that she saw a different color from the past again. After living in the castle for a period of time, Anna gradually understands the complex relationship between people, and also has a new understanding of her father's anger at herself.

But she doesn't like these twisted things at all.

Only when she was with Roland could she truly relax.

There are also those books that record wonderful knowledge-they seem complicated and difficult to understand, but after in-depth contact, you will find that their relationship is so simple and direct, and will never change because of changes in interests or desires. The formula that reveals the face of the world is so clean and concise, so the world should also look like this.

The door opened again, and with a sound of flattery and flattery, Carter returned to her side and stroked his chest, "Miss Anna, it's done."

"Well," Anna felt relieved after finishing this matter, "Don't tell Your Majesty."

"Of course...I understand."

She nodded, then turned and walked downstairs.

It is true that she can't get rid of these disgusting feelings, but with His Majesty Roland, there will always be more and more beautiful things, and she can't wait to go to North Slope Mountain to continue her research work.

That's where she likes it. 17-02-1305:36:07
