In the living room on the second floor of the main building of the castle, the fire was burning brightly.
Although the climate in Borabel is mild, the temperature will still drop very low in the morning and evening in spring and autumn. This is really not a pleasant thing for the nobles who have not yet put on winter clothes.
Especially the ladies and ladies in the living room, their faces were haggard and drained of blood at the moment. The cold temperature at night and the fear of sudden disaster made them all look as if they would faint at any time.
In fact, many of them have fainted several times.
You know, a well-educated and respectable woman who has too strong nerves will be laughed at. Fighting and killing are men's business, and women should be frightened. That is hurtful.
At this time, a rather sumptuous dinner had just ended.
According to previous arrangements, there should be a dance here. The aristocratic men and women would dance to the sound of music, look at each other affectionately, and laugh happily until late at night.
But now everything has been ruined by this sudden disaster.
People gathered in the living room. Married women sat around on the sofa wiping tears. Older mature men pretended to be calm and held wine glasses and discussed in low voices. And young people were on the terrace of the living room.
Chatting.
"I bet my dad actually wants to cry too. He misses the vineyards and the fine wines in the cellar. They are his lifeblood."
The speaker was a short boy. His home was less than three kilometers away from the city lord's palace. Unlike his father who was pretending to be calm and chatting with others in the living room, he really didn't take this seriously.
thing.
In his opinion, war is a good opportunity to make achievements. Being tied to a rural land by a shabby manor that should have been abandoned long ago will make no progress in his life! If only Phil could burn that shabby manor with a fire
That would be great. In that case, his parents would have no reason to stop him, the only son in the family, from going out to pursue his career.
Of course, these words cannot be said out loud. But this does not prevent him from showing his courage and calmness in front of young girls by teasing his father.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the boys and girls all laughed. Just like this proud short boy, after experiencing the initial fear and confusion, the noble children now only had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
Excited. The topics of conversation were all about the previous battle.
"Can we drive away the Phillies?" a girl asked timidly, holding Anne's arm.
"Drive them away?" a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't even think about it! We will tear them all into pieces and throw them into Peter's palace!"
"right!"
"Well said!"
The young men were all excited and excited, and they all shouted.
Several of them had already encountered the Feili people in previous battles. Although they were under the protection of guards, it was a real battlefield fight after all. Even now, thinking of the scene at that time, many people still
They were so excited that their whole bodies were shaking. Shouting loudly made them feel like real men!
"The most powerful one today is Matthew!" said a young nobleman who followed Matthew from the Viscounty of Wenger. "At least three of Philip's soldiers died under his sword!"
After complimenting his young lord first, the young man proudly puffed out his chest and looked around: "I killed one and wounded another with an arrow. What about you?"
"I'll kill one!"
"I wounded a soldier, but he ran away in the end."
The young gentlemen said one after another.
The girls on the side held hands and looked at them lovingly. Although many girls were tired of the topic of beating and killing, they enjoyed the boys showing their bravery in front of them.
That makes them feel very sweet.
Anne looked coldly at a group of peers who knew nothing about the world. Turning her head, she saw her brother Les with a sarcastic look on his face and the handsome Matthew next to him, who always seemed a bit frivolous.
Anne didn't like the way Matthew looked at her. This man's eyes made her feel uncomfortable. It seemed that whenever he looked at any beautiful girl, his eyes were so hot, or a little lustful.
As soon as his brother Les came home, he had already warned himself to stay away from Matthew. However, that was purely his brother's worry. He was willing to take care of himself, unlike the wealthy country people around him who had never seen the world.
Ladies, you can’t wait to roll into bed with Matthew right away. To you, Matthew is not as interesting as the little handyman Roy!
Thinking of Roy, a smile appeared on Annie's lips. Normally, that big-headed man always looked like a stupid goose when facing her, but she didn't expect that this guy hid so deeply.
That's a little slick guy who can kill a thousand people. He even deceived himself!
At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud noise in the backyard. The young nobles looked down from the balcony railings and saw several royal knights and non-commissioned officers carrying Roy out of the blacksmith shop and taking him to the first floor of the main building.
In the guest room, and when they were about to enter the foyer, Hugo, Mrs. Ellen and Baron and Baroness Borabel all heard the sound and came out to greet them.
The atmosphere on the terrace suddenly became a little strange.
Most of the people here, except for Matthew and Les, are the children of the owners of the surrounding small estates. Although many of them will inherit noble titles in the future, they know very well that given their weight, even if they die,
It might not even be possible for the royal knights to reach out and help it, let alone alert a mage like Mrs. Ellen.
What shocked everyone even more was that not only Mrs. Ellen and Hugo, but also the princess and Susan upstairs were alarmed. They looked downstairs from the balcony and said a few words, and Susan quickly walked through.
He crossed the room and ran downstairs. The princess, on the other hand, looked at the noisy crowd downstairs with concerned eyes.
"He's my little handyman," Annie bit her lips and rolled her eyes quickly, "I'm going to find out what's going on." As she said that, the girl turned around, like a light bird, and flew quickly
Holding up the hem of her skirt, she ran downstairs.
On the terrace, there was silence.
Les looked downstairs quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Anne's slim and charming figure disappear from the door of the living room. Then he turned his head and saw Susan running downstairs into the foyer to meet the crowd, with an unkind look on her face.
.
But the young people who had been in high spirits just now were all speechless, looking at each other, and their interest suddenly waned.
