Chapter 485 Western Fantasy
The scorching sun shines from south to north, all the way to the Severn Territory in the most remote area of the entire Kadir Kingdom.
Under the scorching sun, the Knights set off.
The leader of the team is naturally the well-known Mr. Knight Commander.However, the alternation of the two seasons is enough for them to know the real name of the knight commander.Feit Aaron, the existence that once made all the soldiers fear in the capital, is now on a journey for his lord again.
Although as early as the first night when the Gripen Alliance's "request for help" came, Adrian had already solemnly bid farewell to his knights.But today, under the eyes of everyone, he still put on his armor, and with the gesture that a lord should have, he pinned a flame lily that symbolized victory to Feit's chest.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them said "goodbye" again.
Finally, it was Feit who took a step back and bid farewell to his lord with knightly etiquette.
Then the team went away, and the people on both sides of the road threw the same brilliant and warm flame lilies to their heroes.Soldiers on horseback passed through the crowd, stepped out of the city gate, and walked towards the golden wheat field stretching in the wind...
Until the expedition team could no longer be seen, Adrian finally took a step and returned to his usual office room.
But he didn't start a new day's work directly like before.Instead, he took out a scroll that had never appeared in the eyes of the clerk from the storage ring, and slowly unfolded it.
Looking at the face revealed on the scroll, the clerical officer's eyes widened in astonishment.But soon, he realized something, shut his mouth, didn't ask anything, just thought he was a shadow in the room.
Adrian, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the clerical officer after making an agreement with the figure on the other side of the scroll.
"Oz, what are you surprised about?" The young lord said in a calm tone, after all, he was not very happy because of the knight's departure.What he said made the older clerical officials very familiar, "Their 'relief fees' have been owed all the time, didn't you find it when you made the statistics?"
The clerk bowed his head and said respectfully, "I thought the lord had already waived this part for them...well, the fee."
Adrian showed a slight smile: "In this case, the soldiers will have opinions."
This conversation that only existed with two people was not known to more people.On the contrary, the news that the Severn Territory finally went out spread farther and farther.
In the royal capital, the siblings with reddish brown hair became more and more irritable.They kept checking with each other: "Della is still alive?"
"Where is the hound now?"
The answer to the previous question is "yes".Nobles with ancient inheritance, of course, have a way to confirm the life and death of their children who are away from home.It's a pity that Serena and Will couldn't get any useful information other than "Della Jonalin still has signs of life."The second daughter of their family was usually quiet and useless, but at this time, she became astute beyond the expectations of the siblings.
As for the "hound" in the latter sentence, there is no doubt that it refers to Faith Aaron.While knowing the other party's true identity, the Serena siblings faced up to the danger of this person.It's a pity that everything came too late, and the death of Tarn and Seamus was worthless after all.
Serena and Will have no regrets about it.What bothered them was another thing: since Feit was still rushing towards the capital, it meant that the alliance between the Gripen Alliance and the Savien Land had not yet broken down.Their idea of inciting infighting between the two sides has probably been shattered... Even if the answer is "no", the situation is still not optimistic.
They don't know.Just as the two were getting upset, a figure with the same reddish-brown hair, but with a much calmer and thinner appearance finally appeared in front of the main city of the Severn Land.
Della looked at this city that she had heard of many times, but it was her first visit to the city.She was surprised to find that most of the people passing by her had smiles on their faces.
This is so unusual.Della licked her lips, feeling uncontrollable.She began to hesitate, maybe it wasn't a good idea for her to be here.Not to mention, thinking about it later, the way I escaped was indeed too smooth...
While her thoughts were turning, someone noticed this side.It was a soldier guarding the city gate. Although he was doing simple and tedious work, he had a strong figure that was not inferior to that of the most elite guards of Jonalin's family.Looking at each other, Della has a new understanding of the prosperity of the "Selvin Land".At the same time, she heard the warrior speak and asked herself: "Madam, how can I help you?"
With the tip of her tongue on her palate, Della straightened her back with all her strength.
She gave a false name and said: "My family's caravan was attacked in this territory."
The surname of that pseudonym comes from a nobleman in the Gripen Alliance, the name is not very important.Aristocrats always have many children of the younger generation that they can't distinguish. In Della's mind, the biggest trouble she will encounter next is nothing more than proving her identity and being introduced into the castle logically, waiting for the hospitality from the lord.
It is true that when he really met Adrian Langton, it was impossible for him to continue to hide his identity.But by then, nothing will matter.Della believed she had brought Adrian a message he couldn't refuse.
These thoughts made Della slightly excited.Her fingers were trembling, and she waited contentedly for the soldiers to complete the next steps in the plan for her.
The soldier's complexion did indeed change, but what Della waited for next was not the concern and greetings based on her false identity, but——
"Ma'am, where were you attacked? How far is it from the main city? How many people attacked your caravan? How many warriors are there? Are there any mages?"
Della Jonalin was taken to a place known as the "Processing Room" and offered a cup of hot tea.She was in a daze, while the warrior in front of her continued to ask questions.
"Oh, forgot the most important thing. Ma'am, what is your caravan carrying? How many people came with you? Were they taken by the raiders, or..."
The soldier even showed a cautious expression, for fear of irritating Della.
"Gudu", Della heard herself swallowing.For the first time, she began to regret, feeling that she should not be smart.After all, she wanted to see Adrian, and she was confident enough in the news she brought.If so, why bother?
"Miss?"
Probably because she didn't answer for a long time, the soldier in front of her became suspicious.
His eyes on Della were no longer gentle and encouraging.Instead, he turned his eyes from Della's auburn hair with a thoughtful, dangerous expression.
Della sensed a crisis from it.She spoke almost subconsciously, and said, "I'm not—" After a pause, Della realized that it was over when she met the soldier's wary eyes.
She chose the wrong way.And now, it was her turn to pay the price.
It was already that night when Adrian heard about the whole thing.
He was already going to sleep by then.Before going to sleep, he was wearing a nightgown, holding a book in his hands, but his eyes always glanced over the scroll next to him.
He had previously agreed with Feit that all communications between the two would be initiated by Feit during the following period of time.The reason is also easy to understand, the knights going to the battlefield will encounter too many crises, and Adrian, who is thousands of miles away, cannot confirm when his lover is safe and when he is in deep danger.
But today, the silence of the scroll gave him a very bad answer.At least at the moment, it is not easy for Feit to meet himself.
This made Adrian feel heavy.He felt as if he had swallowed a piece of iron raw, making his entire chest cold and sour.
The soldier who came to report appeared at this time.First there was the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps in the corridor, and then——
"My lord!" Panting, Maverick stood in front of Adrian, delivering the important news to the lord, "We captured the Jonalin family!"
Adrian frowned immediately.
"Della Jonalin!" Maverick's face contorted for a moment, and it was obvious that he was thinking of some very unpleasant past. "That's what she called herself, and said she was—"
"Old Jonalin's daughter, Serena Jonalin's younger sister." Adrian spoke for him, "Also, our king, Kadir VII's fiancée."
Maverick's eyes widened at the address.He looked like he wanted to ask Adrian why the lord knew all this.But then, the answer spontaneously flooded into the warrior's mind.He remembered that the young man in front of him was not just the owner of the territory under his feet.Earlier, he and Della Jonalin were born and raised in the same city, and the two must have met each other in the past.
Maverick swallowed, a little unsure of the impact of his next words.
But the loyal warrior still spoke without hindrance.He told Adrian: "Lord, the woman said that when you hear the news from her, we will regret what we did to her."
Because of this sentence, Adrian gave him a suspicious look.
Maverick: "…" He doesn't think it's an illusion.The lord seemed to say: what are you doing stupid?For the Jonalin family, what is there to talk about "regret"?
Just as these thoughts flashed into his mind, Adrian asked, "Wait for me outside."
Maverick touched his nose and stood in the doorway.
Inside the house, Adrian quickly changed his nightgown and changed into clothes suitable for ordinary occasions.
After that, he glanced at the scroll, which was still lying quietly aside.The tip of his tongue licked his lips, but Adrian didn't take it in the end.
The author has something to say:
Speaking of which... before I knew it... there were only two days left...
A Jiang Jiang began to shut himself up.jpg
