Chapter 54 Memories and Banquet

"So hungry!"

Phyllis opened the window and looked eagerly at the colorful pastries on the counter. What do those things taste like?

It would be nice if I could smell it before I die.

But soon she was beaten with a broom by her boss like a mouse.

Phyllis could only keep warm with a single piece of clothing she picked up, and she had not eaten for two days.

She probably wouldn't be able to survive this winter. The hunger and cold would turn her into a stiff corpse abandoned on the roadside with no one paying attention.

There was no way! She had no choice but to escape. Although she could barely eat enough in the dark little black room, there were fewer and fewer friends around her who were bought back together.

Strictly speaking, she doesn't have a single "friend" anymore.

The old woman looked at her more and more strangely, and those women who wore scantily clad clothes often looked at their children with pity.

Every night, the moans of men and women and the cries of peers around her made her feel extremely noisy, making her feel that something was getting more and more wrong.

Although she didn't understand, those voices definitely meant something bad. Every now and then, women who were much older than her would be forcibly thrown out by thugs because they were covered in red spots. They were left to cry on the ground until they became

Corpse.

Maybe one day I will become like that... It's really scary.

So Phyllis ran away, and when the old woman tried her best to sell herself to a middle-aged bald man with a big belly, she secretly ran away alone.

But how long could a child under ten years old with wounds on her body survive wandering alone on the street? Soon she fell to the ground from hunger.

Although she had tried her best to survive, her will alone could not support her body, and her consciousness had begun to become blurry.

…………I don’t know how long it took.

"What's wrong with you? The ground is very cold. If you sleep like this, you will catch a cold!"

In a daze, she seemed to see a white little angel standing in front of him, looking down at him.

"So that's it... Mr. Guard... I thought... do you want... a friend... let's... play, eh? You can't be... you can be a maid?

Then... do you want to be my maid? I can make delicious pastries."

The pure white little figure in front of her seemed to have asked her this question.

"I...will."

"Great, my name is... Adele."

"Adele Laing..."

"Bang..."

It seemed that the sound of strong wind blowing open the window suddenly woke Phyllis up from her sleep. She blinked her eyes and couldn't help but blame herself, how could she fall asleep at this time!

While complaining to himself, he wrapped the blanket around Adele and hugged her tighter.

Adele has a fever, very serious, and now she is swaying in Phyllis's arms.

Phyllis had no choice. No living people could be found in the nearby villages and towns, and there was no way to obtain medicines.

She could only hold Adele in her arms and try to use her own body temperature to ease the other person's feelings, but it was of no avail.

Huddled in a wooden house with an unknown owner, holding Adele in her arms, Phyllis couldn't help but recall the past events in her dream.

Yes, she was the unwanted child picked up by Her Highness the Princess. From the moment the other party extended his hand to invite her, she swore that she would forever and ever dedicate her loyalty to her.

After becoming Adele's personal maid, she went through a lot of etiquette training and combat training.

She is both Adele's maid and her sword and shield.

But now it seems that she has obviously neglected her duty and failed to protect her angel, and there is no way to remedy it.

After all, she is just a maid.

The exorcist was right, the Grand Duke of the Rhine had indeed betrayed his own camp.

After wandering outside for so long, she also discovered that the spherical demons appeared more and more frequently, killing almost everyone they saw.

In this way, the two people's escape has become more difficult, and now the enemy for them is not just the devil.

For Phyllis, Adele Laing is the meaning of her life and her hope.

Do you have to watch helplessly as the hope you live for disappears in your arms?

No, absolutely not.

Because Phyllis was a girl, her parents sold her in order to exchange for a handful of white coins from a businessman with sharp ears and monkey cheeks.

Because Phyllis was a girl, that's why the madam bought her in order to exchange for a lot of golden coins from the fat-bellied noble.

Her life is meaningless, no one cares about her, and no one cares about her. In more than ten years, only Adele has extended a hand of friendship to her.

Only Adele truly cared about her. Although it was just the innocent pity of an innocent little girl, Adele was already the only bright spot in her meaningless life.

"You are my angel and my heart. I swear that I will live for you in this life.

No matter what, I will let you live, even if I pay any price, even if you go to the God of Death, I will snatch your soul back..."

"call……"

It was the sound of strong wind blowing in from outside, accompanied by the sound of some light footsteps. Although it was very low, Phyllis still noticed it.

It's those nasty hyenas again...

The opponent is a human being, and an assassin at the same time, and the target is clearly Princess Adele in her arms.

As for who the enemy is, Felice now has some vague guesses, but they have not been confirmed yet. It seems that there are not many people who can still send out assassins.

But so far, she has cut the throats of five such guys with her own hands, but the other person's sense of smell is really sensitive, and she can accurately find their location every time.

It's like a piece of brown candy that can't be shaken off, but this brown candy is also stained with strong poison.

Phyllis couldn't hide the look of exhaustion on her face, but she still carefully placed the princess on the ground, and then gently tucked the coat that wrapped her up.

"Your Highness... don't worry, I will be back soon."

Although she felt that her right ankle was about to lose feeling, which would become a fatal flaw in her battle.

But she still drew two sharp daggers from her sleeves, and then carefully stepped into the shadow...

…Let us warmly welcome our new emperor, His Majesty Asta Rhine…”

Because this guy has now become Grand Duke Astor of the Rhine, the next step is to inherit the throne of this country.

Although he hasn't been crowned yet, the host, who knows how to flatter, still pronounced the title in a high-profile manner.

"I wonder what the upper class has to do with me?"

Snow pulled hard on the tie that made him feel uncomfortable. He was just an exorcist.

Although he usually played the role of a little white duck, the atmosphere in such a splendid aristocratic social occasion still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, we had just experienced a war!

The rabbi next to him also looked dumbfounded. He thought the banquet was just about eating.

"When did you prepare such a handsome dress?"

The rabbi asked with a shocked look on his face. It was also his first time to attend an upper-class gathering in a country.

Although there is a factor of thanking the Black Order for their help, in fact it is still used as a social occasion for the upper class people.

"Huh? You gave me the nickname pretty boy. Don't you know that people like me need to hang out in such situations often?"

Snow didn't reveal the true situation, he just lied without a red face and a heartbeat. If it weren't for Sarah, he wouldn't have come to this place?

By the way, where is Sarah?

Snow looked around curiously, but did not find that familiar figure.

However, a few ladies, whose eyes lit up with his appearance, came up to tentatively talk to him, thinking that the other party was also a new member of the country's aristocratic class.

The rabbi next to him felt the deep malice of the world. He didn't know why, but he always felt as if a ray of contempt was falling on him.

No way, it was his first time here, and he was not even prepared at all. He was still wearing the somewhat old coat of the Black Order!

"Snow...I feel inferior."

The always optimistic rabbi lowered his head in frustration. Looking at the people wearing gold and silver and chatting and laughing at the banquet, he finally felt the barrier that even his own smile could not penetrate.

"I'm going back..."

The shocked rabbi turned his head and walked toward the door of the conference with his shoulders slumped listlessly. He already regretted it.

Although there was plenty of food on the table next to it, those things didn't seem to be for eating.

"Don't leave! The party hasn't started yet. After all, you have been invited by the person who is about to come to the position of ruler of a country. They have just arrived, and you left without giving face.

Be careful of the other side sending out artillery to blast you into pieces."

Snow grabbed Rabbi and teased him with a playful face.

On the other side, the new king (quasi) has already entered the hall. He still looks like a tough military man and is wearing the same standard military uniform as before, but his chest is full of badges.
