After lying on the bed for a while, Song Ye turned over and got out of bed.
Outside the courtyard wall outside the bedroom, there was a faint sound of shouting. It seemed that someone was gathering the crowd. It was very lively.
Song Ye knew that his father was recently leading the guards to arrest and kill fugitives in the territory.
A group of criminals who ran in from nowhere have robbed and killed more than ten households in the territory in the past few days, causing panic in the entire territory.
Knight Odis was ordered to disperse with his bodyguards in search of the area.
Pushing open the bedroom door, there is a small gray yard with a small pond outside. It looks a bit deserted, with green weeds scattered here and there.
Two team members who were guarding outside were standing by the pond talking. When they saw Song Ye coming out, they quickly walked over and saluted respectfully.
These are two members of the Baronial Guards. They are both tall, middle-aged men.
"Master Angelet, are you awake?" A member of the team with a beard said in a deep voice. He was wearing thick yellow full-body leather armor and carrying a huge ax on his back. He gave people an unusually powerful feeling.
The other man was thin and only wore half leather armor, but his eyes were calm and he looked very agile. There was a cross sword hanging on his waist.
Song Ye glanced at the cross sword body and saw that there was still dark red blood stains on it. He couldn't help but shrink slightly.
"Did Uncle Otis ask you to come here?" Song Ye asked.
"Yes, after we send you back to the castle, we have to rush back to the guard immediately. Time may be a little tight, so let's go first." The thinner man said solemnly.
Song Ye nodded.
"It seems that you have information about that group of prisoners?"
The thinner man nodded.
"I discovered their temporary stronghold this morning. The captain has led his brothers to surround them."
"Okay then, I'll go change clothes first."
Song Ye went back to the house and changed out of his pajamas, then came out and joined the two of them, leaving this temporary resting spot.
This residence is just a place where the family stays when they come to town for fun. The conditions are not good, so it is naturally not suitable for recuperation.
After leaving the residence, there was a street full of people coming and going. Everyone was wearing dusty linen clothes, and the whole street looked dirty.
Some vendors were shouting loudly on the street. There were stalls selling fruit, some selling small wooden toys, and some selling vegetables. Some women carrying baskets were walking back and forth between the stalls.
Song Ye walked out of the courtyard gate of his residence and immediately realized the difference between himself and the people around him.
Unlike everyone else on the street, he was not wearing gray clothes, but black. But he soon understood.
In this world, except for nobles, all civilians can only wear gray. Colored clothes can only be worn by nobles. This is a privilege. If someone dares to disobey, he will probably be directly sentenced to death. The nature is very serious.
.And even for nobles, there are some colors that can only be used by different levels.
The three of them were talking casually while walking. Song Ye noticed that when the pedestrians around him saw him, they would bend down and salute respectfully, with an expression of awe on their faces. This made him feel like he was walking among a herd of sheep.
The lion inside.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to it, Master Angele?" the thinner man said with a smile.
After some conversation, Song Ye also knew the names of the two men. The thinner man was called Carter. He was an adventurer who originally lived nearby. He was later recruited into the guard. He was very lucky. You must know that the adventurer is here
In real life, they are simply synonymous with vagrants. Their status is very low. And joining the Guard is equivalent to the Public Security Bureau on earth. Not only does your status increase greatly, but it also comes with a series of benefits...
The stronger one is called Milo, who is a native of Rio Baron. He is extremely talented and very powerful.
Without waiting for Song Ye to answer, Carter smiled to himself and said, "Yes, Candia City is much bigger than here." He picked up one from a tomato stand on the roadside and took a bite.
, regardless of the ugly expression on the stall owner’s face.
Song Ye frowned slightly and said nothing.
It can be seen that from the behavior of taking things without giving money, the family guards are probably notorious in the territory and are arrogant and domineering.
But he himself was not the same as before.
The three chatted casually and quickly left the town along the street. Outside the fence outside the town, a black carriage was waiting on the roadside. When the groom saw the three coming, he quickly got out of the car and waited aside.
The three of them got into the carriage, with Carter driving it, and ran directly towards the main road.
It took more than twenty minutes to follow the road and reach the destination. That is the base camp of the Leo family - Kyle Castle.
After carefully getting off the carriage, Song Ye looked up at the castle in front of him.
Among a green forest, a building that looked like a manor in his previous life appeared in front of him.
There is a moat dug around the entire Castle of Kyle. It is better to say that it is a castle than a small city surrounded by high walls.
The gray earthen castle didn't look as formal as the castle Song Ye had imagined. At most, it was equivalent to the height of a five-story building. In front of the gate with the moat lowered, there were two guards with iron swords on their backs, looking puzzled.
Look this way.
The setting sun in the afternoon dyed the entire castle red. A burst of unknown floral fragrance floated over from nowhere.
Song Ye took a deep breath. It was almost evening and the temperature had cooled down a bit.
"Is Old Huade here?" he whispered.
Carter on the side nodded and said: "Yes, since we are already here, let's go back first."
Song Ye nodded. He watched the two of them turn around and drive the carriage back. Soon they disappeared on the road. Then they walked towards the earthen castle.
An old man with gray hair, wearing a black robe, was coming from the castle, with several maids and guards behind him.
"Old Hua De, I'm back." Song Ye said loudly and quickened his pace.
Huade is the butler under Baron Kyle who is responsible for managing the general affairs of the territory. He has been with the Leo family for decades. It is said that he even watched his father, Baron Kyle, grow up.
"I told Lord Baron a long time ago that I would ask Lord Otis to teach the young master, but the Baron refused to listen. Now the young master is injured. If he had listened to me earlier..." This somewhat thin old man
As soon as I got closer, I started to think about it.
With a habitual smile on his face, Song Ye walked into the earthen fort with a group of people.
After Hua De complained for a while, he suddenly stopped talking.
"By the way, young master, don't go there this time when you come back. Just study with Master Odis."
"Is this what father means?"
"Yes. The situation has been very unstable recently. We don't trust you to live alone outside. Besides, you have been so wronged this time. Even the Viscount of Candia must give us an explanation." Hua De said in a tone of voice.
There is a fierceness in it.
"I don't care." Song Ye nodded.
The two of them and the two maids entered the castle hall together.
Two young girls in white dresses were waiting there. Seeing Hua De and Song Ye coming in, the two girls carefully raised their skirts and saluted Song Ye.
"Brother Angele."
"Cecil and Maggie." The memory in Song Ye's mind quickly recalled who these two people were.
One is Angelet's half-sister, Cyril, and Maggie, the daughter of a poor relative who came to join the Leo family after her distant family fell into decline. Both of them are younger than Angelet, so they both call him brother.
Since Angelet has a high status in the family, children of their status are very careful about him.
After all, there are many people with their status in the castle. And they are not valued by the baron. Celie's status is better, she can get a certain share of monthly expenses, and can have someone to do housework for her.
She has about the same status as the head maid.
Maggie, on the other hand, is much lower. In the castle, her parents still need to work for the baron to get a certain salary to make ends meet, which is equivalent to a slightly higher-status domestic servant. Relatives like theirs who defected to the castle.
There are many in the castle. They are not worth mentioning at all.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." Song Ye said with a smile. He had a good relationship with the two of them before, because they were considered to be the best-looking people in the castle, so he took good care of his two sisters when they met occasionally.
This made the two people think that they had found a supporter, and they were naturally willing to get close to Angelet.
"I heard that you were injured, so we are waiting here specially. Are you feeling better?" Maggie said proactively. Her voice was very childish, but the thirteen-year-old girl has already developed quite maturely. She has a bumpy figure.
Her charming face, slender waist and towering breasts made Song Ye couldn't help but keep his eyes on her for a while longer.
Maggie also seemed to feel Song Ye's gaze, her face was slightly blushing, but she took the initiative to raise her chest and let Song Ye scan her. She pretended not to notice on her face.
In contrast, Celie on the other side is a little too shy and far less developed than Maggie. She is more like a young deer. She timidly glances at Angele and tangles her hands together in her lower abdomen.
, looking a little uneasy. Compared with Maggie, she has a pure beauty.
Originally, when Song Ye returned to the castle, they couldn't be the only ones who came to greet them. It is estimated that these two people had some scheming and knew to come out early to wait for them, so as to show their close relationship with Song Ye in the eyes of the people around them.
Of course, this may also be the guidance of their parents behind them.
Song Ye nodded.
"It's much better now. Don't worry, two sisters." He casually chatted with the two girls.
Hua De, who was originally standing aside, also quietly left to deal with other matters.
Song Ye, led by two girls, walked into the inner hall. After receiving respectful greetings from most people in the castle, he had time to rest completely.
Back to his own private bedroom.
Song Ye then breathed a deep sigh of relief.
In addition to the bed, there is a writing table in the bedroom with a goose-yellow parchment roll on it. A quill is placed casually on the side of the ink bottle. The mountain-shaped candle holder flashes with light yellow. At the same time, it emits light.
A faint scent of wax oil.
Song Ye pulled out the chair on the desk and sat down. He glanced at the parchment scroll.
