This is a small yard. There are only two rooms and a concierge in the yard. After the two were admitted to the hospital, they hurriedly entered the main room in the center of the courtyard.
After entering the door, the woman in front took off her cloak, revealing her full appearance. This is a young woman of about twenty-five, with a melon face, a pointed chin, delicate skin and smooth hair, and a haggard face. It gave her a morbid beauty. The girl in her arms also looked pale. The little girl's thin arms and legs seemed to have no weight in the woman's hands, and she seemed to be sick, with an unnatural blush on her cheeks.
"Miss, young master, he still rejected us." The man in the cloak behind also showed his true face. This is an old man in his fifties or sixties, his face is full of wrinkles, and he looks like this woman's servant.
"Hey, he can't protect himself, how can he send troops to escort my mother and daughter." The beautiful woman said, "Laffey, go and serve Christine a bowl of soup." The woman gently touched the little girl in her arms , put her on the chair next to her, and instructed the maid who had just entered the door behind her.
"Miss, there's almost no food left at home." The little maid said with her head down. When the woman heard this, she asked in surprise, "Didn't I just pawn my earrings and bracelet? Isn't the money enough for these two meals?"
"Ma'am, the price of food in the city has risen again, and it is difficult to buy things with money." Rafi explained in a low voice.
"Forget it, let it last as long as you can, it really won't work..." The woman touched the sapphire necklace around her neck. This was her last piece of jewelry, and it was also the most precious one.
The maid was ordered to serve soup for the little girl. A bowl of plain noodle soup was the only food in the family. Neither the woman nor the two servants ate. She (he) could survive, but they were sick. The little girl can't stand it. The two servants seemed to be people with strict family education. Although they did not eat, they did not show anything. The old servant consciously went to the porter to watch the night, and the maid also went back to the room to rest under the woman's signal.
The woman carefully fed the little girl with a spoon. The little girl sat on the chair obediently, neither making noise nor making a fuss, just drinking the soup fed by the woman. The little girl squinted and drank slowly, as if enjoying What a delicious taste. "Young aunt, drink it too." The little girl's voice was very glutinous, probably because of her illness, her little face was slightly red, revealing a cuteness.
"Auntie has drank, little Christine has drank, she will get better soon." The woman showed a kind look.
"Well, so fast!" The little girl nodded heavily.
"Auntie is drinking too~" In the night, a little girl's voice came.
This woman's name is Grace. She is not an ordinary woman, but the daughter of a marquis. She is also a famous beauty in the Charlo Kingdom. His father is Marquis Philip, one of the three marquis of Charlo. , flowers of the kingdom.
But she was just an ordinary woman at this time, a woman who was about to reach a desperate situation.
Grace comforted the little girl to sleep after feeding Christine, because all the money she brought with her had been spent, so she couldn't take the little girl to see a doctor, not to mention that if you have money, you may not be able to find a doctor now. She will be forced to be drafted into the army. Charlo is now at a time when the kingdom is in crisis. I am afraid that doctors are only available to those lords with heavy troops, such as her younger brother Willis, the current lord of the city of France.
After Grace took care of the little girl and fell asleep on the bed, she sat quietly beside the bed. Tonight is a cloudy night with no moonlight. She couldn't help thinking of her father, the famous Marquis Philip.
There are three provinces in Charlot, and there are three corresponding marquises, namely, Marquis Philip, Marquis Campbell, and Marquis Clark. The three marquis sit in the three provinces to defend the kingdom. Now there are only two marquis left in the kingdom. Marquis Clark is in Gordon Heights died in a bloody battle with the enemy, and Marquis Philip and Marquis Campbell are now commanded by the king to guard the capital of Entre and Ellis.
That night a month ago, her father called her to meet and told her to pack up and take her eldest brother's daughter to her brother Willis. "It's time for the kingdom to live and die this time." The once high-spirited Marquis Philip is now just a bad old man with white hair, "You quickly bring Christine to your brother Willis, his territory It is very close to Murphy Forest, you can ask him to borrow troops to protect you across the Murphy Forest to the opposite Karaman Kingdom, I also have some manors over there, and you will be able to eat and clothe when you go there." Marquis Philip The warning is still in my ears, "Remember, don't come back, the royal family is now staring at the people in our family and will not let them escape, the men in the family have no chance, only you and Christine are allowed to leave, you have to live Go down, for the blood of the Philip family!"
Grace took Christine under the protection of more than ten guards and defected to his younger brother, who had never been taken seriously. Maybe it was because he was treated indifferently and despised too much when he was young. His younger brother, who was born to his father and a maid in the family, had no sympathy for him and Christine who came to defect, and even put his guards to defend the city. When I was transferred, I just arranged a few of my own people to a yard and then stopped paying attention.
"Willis wants to traverse the map of Murphy Forest and the estate of the Karaman Kingdom manor." As a famous courtesan of the royal family, Grace can of course find out his brother's intentions. Not good, but his attitude seems to be to leave them both alone.
Fortunately, many people in the army in the city knew her, the daughter of the head of the family, and Willis did not dare to be blatant, so he could only use this method of house arrest.
Little Christine fell asleep quietly. Grace covered her quilt and lay beside her, but she couldn't sleep. She, her maid, Rafi, and the housekeeper hadn't eaten for a day, and she was only at noon today. She stole two pieces of cake when she met her younger brother at the City Lord's Mansion. Willis was trying to force them into a desperate situation.
Just as Grace forced herself to fall asleep to avoid starvation, there were bursts of noise and crying outside. And it became more and more intense, as if the city was in chaos all of a sudden. "What's going on?" Grace opened the door and looked out.
"Miss, it's not good, the army of Faustin Kingdom is besieging the city!" The old butler's terrified voice came, "No, let's go quickly, before we completely surround the city." The old butler urged hurriedly.
Grace immediately went back to the room, picked up Christine who had not woken up, and fled with the crowd with the old housekeeper and maid. This place is full of rich and noble people. Run away with these people, at least The direction is correct. It was too late, so I could only fight to the death. The old butler and the maid were both cultivated and fighting spirits. I hope they can take them out of the Murphy Forest.
Outside the city, Baron Kaidozi and Baron Kashir were sitting around the bonfire, looking like they were roasting a pheasant, "This guy was caught by my guard Harvey, Baron Kaidozi, you are blessed tonight. "The Baron of Kashir laughed.
"It's my honor to be able to eat what Baron Kashir bakes." Baron Kaidoqi said modestly.
The soldiers around the two moved quickly. They had already negotiated on the road before. They still used the previous method. The three were surrounded by one. France City left a retreat.
The reason for this is to prevent the city of France from fighting the last stand, to give them a hope that they will not leave all their strength to fight with them, and the gate that remains is not so easy to run, Baron Kaidozi The cavalry squadron stayed at the city gate and waited for them. The mission of the cavalry squadron was to intercept the fleeing businessmen and nobles. These talents were fat, and the Will Knights with high-level knight attendants were stationed. Both of them were very relieved.
By the time the pheasants on the bonfire were roasting, the siege was over. Nearly a thousand soldiers circled the small town twice. Even the northern gate of the retreat to the city of France was guarded by a squadron of the Baron of Kashir.
All the soldiers replenished their food and maintained their spirits under the orders of their respective superiors. Tonight, the siege was not to attack. The main reason was to overwhelm the resistance consciousness of the Charlois, and the troops marched for a day, and they also needed adjustment. Everyone received the news, The siege will begin tomorrow morning.
Locke is now at the West City Gate. This is their battalion responsible for attacking the En City Gate. I don't know what the baron and the Baron of Kashir have dealt with. In short, whichever team enters the city first, the squadron that advances the city first will receive generous rewards.
Tomorrow, the third squadron will first test the siege to check the defensive strength of the city gate, and then the first and second squadrons will join. Yes, their squadron was on the third batch, mainly to clean up the mess.
Tomorrow's task seems to be easier than others, and Locke breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although he has been a soldier for four years and has seen blood and flames countless times, Locke still has a great awe of death. To be able to obtain the least dangerous task, although there is little oil and water, Locke is also very satisfied, there is hope in life.
