Chapter 3 Malice
The next day, Alison was awakened by the door opening and footsteps.
She opened her eyes, glanced at her side with cold eyes, and saw a young knight's servant standing beside the bed, looking at her blankly.
"What's the matter?" Alison tried to sound dignified.
But I don't know if it was because she was a woman, but her glare and majestic words were not much of a deterrent in the eyes of the young subordinate. He saw that the other party's face quickly turned red, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the window, and then his expression
He was stunned and said, "Oh my god! Alison, you didn't lock the window panel!"
"What? I like the moonlight, can't I?" Alison sat up, Hengdao immediately put his legs on his hands and asked.
"No, it's nothing." The servant stared at Alison and said nervously. He swore that none of the women in the tavern in the town were as charming as Alison when she got up.
Alison frowned and resisted the discomfort of goosebumps all over her body. She stretched out her legs and stepped on the ground with bare feet, trying to find a place where he could not see his eyes.
"Creak~" The door of the lounge was pushed open again, and the Mediterranean priest walked in. He looked at the two people worriedly, "The Lord Knight invites you to attend the meeting."
"Where?" Alison raised her head and looked at the pastor. The latter couldn't help but tremble, moved away from the door and said, "In the middle room on the second floor of the castle."
Alison nodded, got up and walked barefoot out the door. When she passed the pastor, she looked sideways and found that the pastor was also looking at her.
"interesting."
How can a villain who encourages knights to drown all the women in his territory want to exorcise demons?
Alison raised the corners of her mouth, showing a trace of ridicule, and then walked out of the lounge.
Seeing Alison's mocking look when she left, the pastor felt nervous. He looked worriedly at the young attendant in the room, "Louis, what do you think of her?"
"Her voice is soft and gentle, her expression is charming, her eyes are bright, her teeth are white, and her complexion is fair. She is truly an outstanding beauty."
Louis replied with a red face. He looked at the bed, as if recalling what he had just seen.
"What did you say?" The pastor was a little in disbelief when he heard this. He walked over and looked at Louise with hatred, "She is a witch, synonymous with evil and disaster!"
"Master Simon has accepted her, and she is his partner." Louis' face suddenly became unhappy when he heard this. He stamped his feet, straightened his clothes, then looked at the priest and said, "Let's go, we can't keep you waiting too long.
Long."
Unwilling to obey, Louis left the lounge. The pastor behind him had a gloomy expression on his face.
In the large room in the middle of the second floor of the castle, the servants sat in a circle around the round table, looking respectfully at the knight Simon who was sitting at the head. Simon, who looked at his huge team of servants, felt equally proud.
Because of his grandfather's meritorious service, Simon is the only knight with a stone castle in the southwest border. As the lowest nobleman, Simon has retainers comparable to those of a baron.
Moreover, they are extremely loyal to themselves. Whether it is Simba, the ability user who has taken refuge in him, or Cade, the mercenary with a plan, they did not criticize him after he self-destructed his territory out of anger yesterday.
Simon is happy with this.
But a knighthood without women cannot develop, so he must solve this problem as soon as he wakes up.
"I came to see you today to discuss matters related to women." After Simon examined it for a while, he dropped the topic.
The servants looked at each other after hearing this. They had their own ideas, but in the end they still looked at the priest. After all, the cause of this matter was related to his detection of witches.
The pastor cast a grateful look at everyone and took the lead in explaining his own solution, "There is a war going on in the north, and the local church cannot help so many refugees. As a pastor, I can lead them here."
"Yeah." Simon nodded when he heard this, then clicked his tongue, looked at the pastor's joyful eyes and said, "James' pastor did the same thing two days ago, and then he died on the road."
"Well"
When the pastor heard this, the expression on his face shrank, and he lowered his head in despair. Even during the war, no one else could touch the refugees who had their own land.
"Louis, tell me." Seeing that the pastor didn't come out, Simon gestured to Louis.
"We can buy slaves. There is a war in the north now, and the price of goods is low. One slave costs four gold coins, and fifty two hundred gold coins. The price seems a bit high." Louis said and closed his mouth.
"I don't mind buying slaves for the people in the territory, but you also know the situation in the territory. After paying so much property, we won't be able to survive the next harvest."
Simon told the difficulties in the territory, and then looked at the others. He was going to kill the mercenary who was eager to try, but he saw a dazed witch sitting next to him. Out of curiosity, he asked Alison, "Do you have any?"
any solution?"
"Knight Kevin is old. As a knight under the same lord, you should help him look after his territory." Alison said casually, "It happens that our territories are adjacent to each other."
This is the memory that was swept away when searching for the cause of Angela's death. The battle of enlightenment is about the death of the knight leading the woman and the opportunity for Simon to step into the ranks of the strong.
Knight Simon was slightly stunned after hearing Alison's answer. Several other retinues were lost in thought. The mercenary beside her looked at her with vigilance and anger, and the priest opposite stared at her and gritted his teeth.
"The witch is indeed the source of the trouble." The priest turned to look at Simon and whispered, "Kevin has always had a good reputation as a knight, he has many followers, and he belongs to the same lord. If we take action against him, it will definitely cause disaster for us.
, for the sake of the Lord, you”
"That's a good idea." Silent Simon interrupted the pastor. He looked at Alison and nodded, "As my retinue, I take it you don't have shoes yet?"
"That's right." Alison nodded. She considered killing the priest in a deserted place to see if she could get out a pair of shoes.
"Louis will go to the leather shop to get a pair of shoes." Simon looked at Louis and ordered, then looked at the others, "At dinner today, you have to come up with a charter."
"Yes, Lord Knight!" a group of servants stood up and said.
In the courtyard of the castle, Louis led Alison to the leather shop and took a pair of made deerskin boots for her to put on, but Alison refused.
"I'll do it myself." Alison took the boots and put them on. The soles were very comfortable and the size was just right. Her white calves fit the boots. Louis couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
On the street corner not far away, the priest secretly watched this scene, muttering and cursing something in his mouth.
"Pastor Peter, what are you doing?"
The mercenary Cade passed by and startled the priest. He made a silencing gesture to the priest who wanted to speak, and then followed the priest's gaze.
"Oh, the witch actually fascinated the young servant." Cade glanced at the leather shop, then turned to the priest and said, "When did the church allow witches to enter the castle?"
The priest couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He looked at Cade and opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he swallowed his breath and sighed, "The knight accepted her, what can I do?"
"Yes, the majesty of the knight is inviolable." Cade nodded to express his understanding. He looked at the farmers who were working, "I just pity those farmers because this witch doesn't even have a woman. Do you think they will because of this?"
What will he do to the witch?"
"Do they dare?" The pastor narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
