Chapter 291 Fuchsia Gem(1/2)
Roger looked at the necklace in his hand, and he guessed that the necklace was probably in pairs.
One is purple-red.
One is reddish-brown.
That's why it's exactly the same.
But in this era when purple is the most respected, red-brown gems are obviously not as beautiful as purple-red gems, which are even more adorable.
Roger thought of Shana's performance at the banquet yesterday, and he felt suspicious.
He thought, perhaps Shana was afraid that after she got the purple-red gem necklace, she handed it over to Mrs. Aida, so she hid it privately and did not hand it over.
He remembered that if he hadn't seen through last night, Shana would have been going to privately hide the purple-red gem necklace.
Roger's heart was suppressed and his anger rose again.
He thought angrily that Shana was doing this to disobey her commands and despise her authority, just like those damn Germanic warriors.
He felt that Shana's behavior was very bad and she had to tell her to understand.
Roger stuffed the gem pendant into his pocket and he sent his personal guards.
Soon, Shana came.
Roger criticized with a serious face:
“Shana, I had already told you last night.
“As a senior officer, you have to lead by example.
"Otherwise, the whole army's atmosphere will be ruined by you."
Shana said disapprovingly: "I understand."
Roger was very dissatisfied with Shana's attitude, he said:
"Don't think you are a woman, I will be extra tolerant of you.
"In my eyes, you are first and foremost an officer, so you must abide by military discipline."
Shana blinked and said, "I abide by military discipline."
Roger was furious and counted loudly: "You said you abide by military discipline, look at what you did along the way!
"On the other side of the Strait of Constantinople, you went with the soldiers to receive the bounty of Deputy Emperor William..."
Shana interrupted and said, "Why can't I take it?"
Roger exclaimed: "Are you the same as others? You are a senior officer!"
Roger did not wait for Shana to refute and continued: "Also, in Dorile, just for the salary increase, you make unreasonable noise in the square in front of so many people.
"Do you know? You have lost all the face of our Sicilian army! Is it fun to be laughed at by friendly troops?!"
Shana tucked her finger and said, "I, didn't I change it later?"
Roger said earnestly: “Shana, you have changed.
"When I brought you out of Iberian refugees, you were still very simple. Why are you getting into the money now?"
Shana pouted and whispered, "Would I know that money could buy so many good things at that time?"
Although Shana spoke very lightly, Roger's sensitive ears heard it word by word.
Roger was furious, and he sternly said: "I won't say much nonsense, hand over the necklace last night."
Shana said in surprise: "I've handed it."
Roger stared wide and repeated, "Did you hand it over?"
Shana replied calmly: "Yes, I'll leave it to Muttier."
Roger's face turned completely cold, he said:
"Shana, Muttier is not only our quartermaster, but also your language teacher. You framed your own teacher for a necklace?"
Shana protested loudly: "Where did I frame my teacher? I really gave it to Muthie."
Roger felt that Shana was challenging his authority in person.
He doesn't want to talk too much.
He grabbed the water cup on the table and smashed it to the ground with a "splash".
He gave Shana an ultimatum: "You either hand over the necklace or get out of here."
Shana looked aggrieved, and tears poured out like a tide.
She whimpered, "I really handed it in, I really handed it in, why don't you believe me?"
Roger was unmoved and ordered his personal guard to mount Shana.
In the evening, Duke Welfe sent someone to invite Roger to the banquet.
When Roger was about to pass, Zarro ran in.
Zha Luo's face was very dark, I don't know if it was because of the burning of charcoal or the darkness.
Roger thought Zarro was here to talk to him about the black powder.
Unexpectedly, Zarro asked, "Shana is gone. I heard that you asked her to leave, why?"
Roger was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shana to really leave.
He regretted that he was too strict with Shana.
But it is related to his authority, and Roger does not want to take back his words.
So he pretended to be calm and answered Zarro:
"Yes, it was me who asked Shana to leave. She broke my rules. I don't allow anyone to break my rules in my army."
Zarro said anxiously: "How can you let Shana leave alone in this unfamiliar place?"
Roger said angrily: "Since she has chosen a necklace, let her go with her necklace."
Sarrow hesitated for a moment, and then he said to Roger:
"Thank you for taking us out of the refugee camp back then, and thank you for taking care of us brother and sister over the years.
"Shana is my only sister, I, I can't..."
Sarrow didn't say anything more, but Roger knew what he meant.
He sighed and patted Zarro on the shoulder.
Roger knew that this person was usually like a dull man and didn't talk much, but once he decided on something, he would never give up.
He thought, he really didn't expect that things would go to this point.
But when it comes to his own authority, he can't give in.
He thought, let's go, if you want to go, let's go.
Although Roger was reluctant to leave, he didn't want to show it.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Za Luo, go find Muttier and settle all your unpaid salary before leaving."
So Zha Luo bowed and turned around and left.
But when Zarro walked to the door of the tent, he hesitated for a moment and turned back.
Zarro took out a parchment letter from his arms and placed it on Roger's table.
He said: "This is what I saw in Shana's tent, and I think it's left for you."
Then, Zarro bowed again, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Roger sat alone in a depressed manner. He did not read the letters on the table, nor was he interested in attending the banquet, so he sat in a depressed manner.
After a while, Muttier ran in.
He asked, "Captain, why do you want Sarrow to leave?"
Roger replied in a muffled voice: "He wants to leave, can I still stop him?"
Muttier muttered, "Okay, why should I let him go?"
Roger echoed casually: "Shana left alone, I'm not relieved to be honest.
"They are both brother and sister, and at least they can take care of each other.
"By the way, you have settled Shana's salary with her. She has just made great contributions. Have you counted the new contributions?"
Muttier said differently: "Shana? What does this have to do with Shana? Has Shana left too?"
Now it was Roger's turn to be surprised, and he asked, "Didn't Shana come to pay you a salary?"
Mutelyi touched her head and said, "No, she has never come to see me, I don't know she has left."
Roger was a little confused. He thought that since Shana liked money so much, how could she forget to take away all her salary from Mutelyi?
Roger hesitated to look at the letter on the table.
