"Miss Michelle, you can't hurt me with the dagger on your waist."
Xavier smiled slightly, Michelle frowned, and could only take her hands back and put them on her lower abdomen.
"From the top floor of this small castle, you can see the Ain Mohai under Nile Mountain and the endless sea tide to the northeast. If Miss Michelle doesn't mind, can you accompany me to the bedroom terrace on the top floor?"
Xavier made a "please" gesture, and Michelle snorted coldly. She knew that she had no option to refuse at all.
"Then... please the lord and Miss Michelle follow me because the castle has not been used for a long time, so the wooden stairs are a bit old, but Laura has tidied up the bedroom on the top floor, so it will not disturb the lord's view of the sea.
.”
Laura quickly pulled Michelle, she bowed deeply, and then walked towards the wooden ladder.
A few people stepped onto the dilapidated stairs, and through the broken wall on the second floor, they could vaguely see the setting sun, and the sunset spread over the entire Ain Mohai.
"Arthur, just stay downstairs and guard this castle." Xavier stopped and said to his knight commander.
"But...your highness..."
"Miss Michelle will not hurt me, don't worry."
Arthur nodded. Although he was a little worried about Xavier, he believed in Xavier's judgment more. Since he let himself stay down there, he must have his intentions.
"Remove your knight, Lord, do you plan to be alone with me in the bedroom on the top floor? Are you not afraid that your reputation will be ruined?"
Michelle moved a little away from Xavier, and she looked at the new lord warily.
"Well... you were seriously injured and ran away. Well, I mean in the eyes of the Norwegians, you were seriously injured and left the country." Xavier shrugged, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"...shameless!"
Michelle frowned. She immediately knew what this lord had done. In order to prevent the citizens of Noli from panic, and in order not to be targeted by the Holy Religion, but she did not want to let herself go, this young eldest master
They actually released false news to deceive citizens!
No, since he is the young master of the Rose Family of the four major families, there must be someone around him who can handle these matters for him. This incident is probably the news they released!
"Well, Lord Lord, we are here, Laura has already cleaned up everything."
The little maid led the two of them up slowly, and finally stopped at the top floor. She opened the dusty bedroom, which was once the palace of Princess Noli.
The clear fragrance of century-old hollywood drifts leisurely, and the wooden bed and long table are both made of this unique wood. This room has wooden floors, and outside the glass window is the endless golden-red sea. As the sun sets,
The dark blue tide covered the entire ocean.
"Then Laura will leave first. If the lord has any instructions, Laura will come from the third floor as soon as possible!"
Laura's little face turned red. She glanced at Michelle secretly, only to find that the latter gave her a terrifying look.
"Bang" the thick green and winter wooden door was slowly closed, the wooden floor was cleaned very clean, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers lingering around.
"...Is it the sound of the ocean tide? It's hard to imagine that in more than a month, even Mount Nile, which is at such a high altitude, will be swallowed up by the Ain Mo Sea, which is thirty or forty meters below it."
Xavier was the first to break the silence. From the moment he walked into this bedroom, he has been looking at the Ain Mohai outside the huge glass window. This is the best place to view the sea. I have to say that in this aspect, the Noli
Wang found the perfect spot.
He even ordered the craftsmen to install a small terrace outside the top bedroom of the castle near the sea. The glass fence allows people to see the sea without any obstruction.
"There is also a sea tide in Sinto City, but it is much more turbulent than this." Michelle said softly, and she listened carefully to the sound of the sea.
"Your father is a knight, right?"
"Didn't your lord check my identity before coming here? Why would you ask knowingly?" Michelle lifted a strand of chestnut hair and played with it on her fingertips.
But before Xavier could reply, Michelle continued.
"My father is a knight. An ordinary little knight in Noli city should have an annual salary of about 250 gold longs, but in Noli, the annual salary is less than 200 gold longs."
"This is unimaginable for the young Duke, right? I heard that in Linglan's Hanover family, the Duke of Hanover had a knight's armor for 1,000 gold longs. The armor my father used only cost 75 gold longs.
That’s all.”
"But what does all this have to do with us? Relying on my father, our family of four is living quite well in Noli. The blood of Noli is indeed despicable, but it does not mean that we Noli people are despicable. That is just your holy
It's just the definition of Tinoa, there is no difference between us..."
Michelle didn't look at Xavier either. The two of them just looked at the sea quietly outside the window, watching the short sunset slowly dissipate, and the long night and coldness once again enveloped the city.
But compared with yesterday, the chilly and cold atmosphere disappeared. In the church hall, the Holy Cult members bandaged the injured soldiers for free. People were singing hymns about the goddess Nuoxi, or chanting
Recite the Covenant Prayer.
"I'm sorry, Lord, you don't understand, right? Because I am a witch, and witches should be hanged, right? The incarnation of the devil, the unclean degenerate..."
Michelle sniffed slightly: "Lord, I hope you won't lie to me. You said you would let Joao go, right?"
"I have told the entire city of Norin that the procedures in the dungeon are being completed by my butler. He should be able to come out tomorrow." Xavier also whispered, as if he was afraid of breaking the news.
The long-lost silence.
"Then please, Lord, let everyone in Sinto City listen to Joao's orders. Joao should be the most experienced city lord when the extreme cold storm comes." Michelle smiled reluctantly, "In this case,
The lord gave me to the Holy Cult, and I have nothing to say."
"Just think of it as Mi Xueer and run away. It's a good idea for the lord to tell the citizens of Norway like this."
"Give you to the Holy Cult?" Xavier raised his eyebrows and looked at Michelle strangely.
"Isn't that right? The first crime of heresy in the Nuosi religion that the Sentinoans are devout is that of being a witch." Michelle closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Isn't this a good choice for you? You can get certain benefits for Noli, such as exemption from spring tax." Michelle finally looked at Xavier.
Behind the pair of long eyelashes, she saw the scary ice blue eyes, but Michelle was not afraid at all, and that comforting feeling enveloped her heart again.
Just like on the church tower, she always thought it was some kind of psychological effect, but was it actually the Lord's eyes?
"Follow me." Xavier suddenly spoke. He suddenly took a step towards Michelle. In the small bedroom, the two of them suddenly came very close to each other.
"Huh?" Michelle was like a frightened deer, forgetting to run away.
"Be my vassal, follow me, follow Xavier, just Xavier."
