"Forget it, Jennifer, the candidates for His Royal Highness the Prince of Alsace's Guards have already been selected, and I failed before I even got there."
The noble young man named Sean seemed very polite. When Li Ke passed by him to pick up the tools there, he made room for Li Ke. This was completely different from the other nobles Li Ke saw.
Of course, this may also be the reason why he wanted to maintain his grace in front of Jennifer.
After all, if he really knew how to be polite, he wouldn't have barged in on horseback.
Picking up the hammer and nails on one side, as well as the wooden boards that had been prepared long ago, Li Ke walked towards the damaged fence that he saw at first sight when he came. He briefly observed the appearance of other fences before starting to repair them.
stand up.
As for what Jennifer was talking about with the guy named Sean, it had nothing to do with him.
The style of the fence is quite simple, and Jennifer's request is not very difficult for Li Ke. Moreover, the wood prepared on one side is the same size as the wood used for these fences, which is very convenient.
So he started working quickly, and the clanking sound was obviously a bit noisy, which made Sean look at Li Ke with some dissatisfaction.
But looking at Li Ke's unfamiliar face, he just frowned and didn't say anything, but looked at Jennifer.
"By the way, Jennifer, our family is holding a banquet in the next two days. Are you interested in attending? If so, I would be happy to have you as my dance partner."
There was no doubt enthusiasm on his face, but Jennifer was a little hesitant.
"Sean, that's not your engagement party, right? It's not appropriate for me to go, right?"
She declined politely.
"Who cares about that woman, Jennifer, I prefer someone who understands me and I understand to be my dance partner."
There was a look of disdain on Sean's face, as if he didn't care about the noble girl who would become his fiancée.
"Sorry, Sean, you know, I'm just a businessman's daughter, and I'm not suitable to attend such a banquet."
Jennifer shook her head. Although her father was a good friend of the lord, he was actually just a subordinate. If there was an official position, it was not impossible for her to go.
But it is not suitable for someone like her to appear on such an occasion.
And she doesn't want to get into trouble.
"You're different, Jennifer."
Sean was a little anxious and wanted to grab Jennifer's shoulders, but Jennifer just took a step back slightly and avoided Sean.
"Sorry, I'm just like everyone else, Sean."
Jennifer shook her head. She didn't see any love in Sean's eyes, only a kind of possessiveness.
Sean's eyes were no different from those of the young drinkers.
Sean wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a stern voice suddenly sounded.
"Sean!"
The voice was a bit angry, and Sean's body froze. He had to turn his head and look in the direction from which the voice came.
He was a strong middle-aged man with flowing red hair.
Also his father.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?! Don't disturb the townspeople! Look at the stupid thing you did!"
This sturdy middle-aged man was wearing armor. He came over on a black horse with a disappointed expression in his eyes.
Sean looked at his father with a dissatisfied look on his face. He muttered something that no one heard, then he held his horse in dissatisfaction and walked out of the vegetable garden.
The old man didn't say a word during the whole process, he just stared at Sean and Jennifer beside him.
It wasn't until his son left the vegetable garden that he untied a bag from his waist and threw it in front of Jennifer.
"Ask your craftsmen to make this fence stronger for me! It's best to be one that can kill people!"
There was a crisp sound from the bag, and Jennifer sighed and bent down in front of her lord, showing off her body curves.
"Yes, Lord Lord."
The lord stared at Jennifer, and after she picked up the bag of money, he snorted and left.
Li Ke, who was watching the whole process, had no thoughts. The girl in front of him was in trouble, but he was in bigger trouble, and he had no interest in such things.
If you want to say why...
He has nothing to do with the girl, and he doesn't have the strength or qualifications to control her.
He wasn't in that mood either.
He pitied the girl, who pitied him?
However, Jennifer had no intention of leaving. Instead, she took the bag of money and walked to Li Ke.
"Are you curious?"
Li Ke didn't even raise his head.
"not at all."
"Then you won't stay here too long, right?"
"I don't know, it depends on whether I find a job."
"Then you will definitely not stay here for too long, because I have spent too long with you."
"…………"
Li Ke had nothing to say. He had experienced this feeling before and knew that Jennifer was telling the truth.
In this medieval era, the situation of foreigners was almost like this. They were dependent on others, ostracized by others, and not one of their own.
It's easy to kill someone.
But he still did not stop what he was doing, but continued to repair the fence.
"Since you won't stay here for too long, let me say it. The lord's son wants me to be his lover, because many people have spread that the woman he wants to marry is an amorous person, and everyone is pitiful
Him. But I will not pity him, because the people who spread these words are his followers."
Jennifer spoke suddenly, looking like she had been holding back for a long time.
"And I've been there. That girl is a very pure and beautiful person. Sean will definitely like her very much, so Sean just wants me to pity him."
"He wanted me to pity him, and then asked me to sleep with him...The worst thing is, I don't even know if our lord has similar thoughts about me."
She sneered.
"So look what my beauty has done for me."
Li Ke just listened quietly, but his hand movements did not slow down and he continued to repair his fence.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of the fence that had been knocked open, and there was a horse behind him.
"That's right, miss, your beauty can only bring you disaster and a lot of trouble, so I can only invite you, or your beauty will disappear."
The man's face was covered, so Jennifer stood up subconsciously, grabbed Li Ke's arm, and wanted to pull Li Ke back to the kitchen.
But, it's too late.
It seemed that because Li Ke was also here, the man did not draw out the sword, but opened a bottle and poured it over before Jennifer could react.
Jennifer was unable to dodge, and her beautiful face was violently splashed by the liquid.
"ah!!"
She let out a heartbreaking scream and lost her previous elegance and calmness.
