Vanessa didn't close her eyes all night. Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, she ordered people to make a fire and cook, making final preparations for the attack on Teacup Castle.
The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears was helping her son, who had just woken up, get dressed in the tent.
Blanca's mental condition has been worrying since she lost the election. She has lost a lot of weight. She looks timid and does not dare to look at others. She will be frightened and cry at the slightest sign of trouble. She will cry to her mother.
Vanessa also felt very distressed.
The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears first took off her son's pajamas and put on jodhpurs and a long, loose shirt. Then she put socks on Blanca's calves one by one, stuffed the breeches into the socks, and at the same time put the socks on.
The belt on the trousers is tied to the waistband.
Then he puts on a robe, fastens it with a belt decorated with metal rabbits, and puts on the robe and cloak.
Vanessa put on the gold brooch for her son and comforted her, "Don't worry, Blanca, we will definitely be able to return to the castle today, and then you will be the master of the green field, just like your father."
"But, but, my sister Ilea..." the little boy couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned this name. "She has been appointed by Marquis Cullen as the head of the Arias family. Are we going to disobey the Marquis?"
An order?"
"Of course you must listen to what the Marquis says. The Arias family has been loyal to the Figuerola family for generations, and your generation is no exception. However, a wise man like the Marquis may be deceived by traitors. At this time, the ministers must speak out and persuade them.
He remonstrated, and even took the initiative to bring order to the chaos in a timely manner."
Blanca hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say the words she had been holding in her heart, "Mom, I don't want to be a lord anymore."
"Why?" Vanessa stopped moving her hands when she heard this, and her eyes became cold, "Who taught you to say that? Your great-grandmother, Knight Javier, or..."
"No one," Blanca gritted her teeth, "I want to say it myself, Mom, can't you stop? As long as my sister is still willing to let us live in the castle, our family can return to the life we had in the past.
Isn't it bad? You don't have any feelings for your sister at all, right? You told me before that your sister has no mother and you want me not to make her angry all the time."
"Silly boy, you are talking stupid things again." The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears put the boots on her son's feet, took two steps back, looked at them, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he raised his face again and said calmly, "Once this kind of thing starts, it's impossible to stop. You will become a good lord in the future, Blanca."
She wanted to say something more, but then a deep and deep male voice came from outside the tent, "Madam, can we talk to you?"
"I'll come out right away, Knight Javier."
After Vanessa finished speaking, she said to Blanca, "Just stay here and stop thinking nonsense. We can go home in a while."
As soon as she walked out of the tent, the beautiful woman with lop-eared ears saw her military adviser pacing back and forth, trampling the grass in front of her door until it was almost bare.
As soon as Vanessa appeared, he couldn't wait to greet her, "Madam, I heard that you..."
The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears gestured to him, and the two of them walked another twenty meters before standing again.
"I heard that you had the wife, son, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law of the dying knight kidnapped, and you also brought their newborn child with you." The knight, who was slightly rich in stature, said while wiping the sweat from his head.
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"I also heard that you planned to use them to threaten Alfred. If he was unwilling to open the city gate, you would order those people's heads to be chopped off."
"I said this too."
"Are you serious?" Knight Javier looked serious.
"Of course." Vanessa said, "Don't question my determination just because I'm just a woman."
"I don't question your determination, I just think this move may be a little inappropriate."
"What's wrong? If Alfred, the traitor, can do it, can't I do it? Don't forget that he was the one who started it. He used his relatives as hostages and threatened the people in the castle to help him defend the city." Chui Chui
The beautiful woman said coldly.
"Alfred's actions indeed lacked the honor of a knight," Javier thought about the words, "but at least judging from the news coming out of the city so far, he did not really kill anyone, even Bao, who never surrendered.
Knight Bro was just imprisoned by him, and he didn't miss two meals a day."
"What do you want to say?" Vanessa looked directly at her military advisor.
The latter's sweat became even more intense, but he still said, "I want to say that if you insist on doing this in your capacity, it would be a bit unsightly, especially if there is a baby under one month old inside. Now the people below have already
A lot of people are talking about it."
"You think I like to do this? If you could fulfill your duty and help me capture the castle in front of you early, none of this would have happened." The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears interrupted the knight.
"Since your method doesn't work, I can only use my method to solve it now. As for those rumors, when we take down Teacup Castle, I will teach them what respect is."
Knight Javier sighed. He knew that persuasion was useless. Vanessa was determined to capture the castle today, and she would not hesitate to gain notoriety for it.
In fact, the relationship between him and Alfred was not very close. The two had little contact before, and just three days ago, Alfred shot him with an arrow.
But one code leads to another, and now seeing that Alfred's family is about to suffer, as he is also a knight of the Arias family, Javier can't help but feel a sense of sadness.
When he returned to the army, several other knights came over and asked him about the results of his trip.
Javier shook his head and said to his colleagues, "Madam has made up her mind, everyone should think carefully about how to persuade Alfred to open the city gate later."
"Alfred wouldn't be Alfred if he could open the door." A knight nicknamed Purple Sparrow said, "That old guy has a very stubborn temper and only accepts death. He is Ilea's guardian knight and can only
Listen to that little girl."
"Even if his family's lives are threatened?"
"Even if you slaughter his family until he is the only one left, he will not open the door." Ziquehua said.
"Oh my God!" another knight nicknamed Golden Snake said, "Are we just going to sit back and watch the tragedy happen?"
"There is no way. Who made Alfred go crazy first and capture the Teacup Castle belonging to the Arias family? Mrs. Vanessa denounced him as a traitor. Even if all his relatives were killed, there would be no problem."
Some people expressed different opinions.
"That's true from Mrs. Vanessa's point of view, but if you are willing to look at it from another angle...he just took control of the castle one step ahead of schedule on the orders of the real master of Green Field."
"I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue. Ilea is not suitable to be in charge of this land. Russ thought so too, so he sent her to the temple." Another knight said.
.
"But now it seems that her stepmother is not much better." Ziquehua said, "I don't know what you think, but with all due respect, stupidity or madness, I would rather choose the former."
"Crazy and desperate." Golden Snake added, "She saw that she was losing the war, so she chose to put all her efforts into action."
