Chapter 32: A Conversation Full of Misunderstandings
The conversation in the central tower is still going on.
Although it was not unusual for aristocrats to have romantic affairs, the Baroness still didn't understand how Miss Mary, a woman, could talk about that kind of thing with such excitement.
Although she was a little curious about this, it was not what she wanted to know right now, so she decided to interrupt Miss Mary.
"Miss Mary, I have heard enough about the specific details. What I want to know now is how the Baron left your room last night."
Mary, who was chattering non-stop, seemed a little embarrassed after being interrupted by the Baroness.
She had no idea what Candy had done last night pretending to be her.
The Baroness made such a big move, she always felt that the candy had caused some trouble.
The reason why I don’t have the “shame” to tell those details to the Baroness.
It was neither foolish nor arrogant, Mary had her own plan.
Her purpose was to irritate the Baroness and drive her back to her room.
If he succeeds, he can avoid endless questions.
After getting through this initial stage, the Baron will always find a way to get himself out of the predicament.
Apparently the Baroness was not fooled and was led astray by her.
And Mary had no idea that the Baron was now in danger of protecting himself.
Mary had to bite the bullet and answer the Baroness.
"Oh, my dear lady, there was nothing special about last night, of course it was the same as usual"
"Really? In other words, what happened last night was not the first time."
"Yes, it started not long after Johnny and I came to the castle. Last night was one of many times."
Mary also took the risk, she did not believe that she could not anger this noble lady.
"I'm not interested in when it started. I want to know who your two helpers are. It's difficult for you two to accomplish this kind of thing."
"It's hard for two people to do it!" Miss Mary suddenly blushed.
"Madam, don't you think it's not enough for two people to participate in that kind of thing? This is a very private activity in itself. It's not like nobles go hunting foxes together. They have to gather a large group of partners and bring a group of hunting dogs.
It’s appropriate to have a loud voice!”
"No, I think it's far from enough. At least there should be someone up there to help you. If Johnny Knight was here, I would suspect that he did it, but he is not in the castle now."
There was a misunderstanding between the two women from the beginning of the conversation, and now the misunderstanding is still deepening and expanding.
When she had no choice but to ask Mary these words, the Baroness felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
Because in Butler Bear's letter, Johnny Knight's heroic performance was mentioned.
Of course, it was also mentioned that the knight bravely gave his life.
Because of this incident, the Baroness decided to forgive Miss Mary as much as possible for the trouble she caused in the castle.
Specific to the current question, what the Baroness means is of course the person pulling the rope upwards on the tower.
There was also the person who ran down to get the baron back to the central tower after he fell.
Of course, maybe these two things were done by the same person.
"Madam, can't we involve others? Although I am chasing the love I want, I have no intention of destroying your family, and I have always respected you!"
Miss Mary suddenly understood that the Baroness was deliberately humiliating herself, implying that Johnny was a pimp for the two of them, so wasn't she implying that she was a prostitute?
This made her very angry.
"Miss Mary, I don't quite understand why asking who your helper is is insulting you. Could it be that the identity of that person is very important?"
"Madam, this matter has nothing to do with that person's identity. It is related to the bottom line of a person's morality that can be tolerated!"
As the mistress of Baron Huntingdon, Miss Mary said to the Baroness angrily.
baroness"······"
A "bang" sound from a cannon sounded somewhere in the distance of the castle.
The Baroness stood up suddenly.
"Miss Mary, please stop our conversation for now."
After the second cannon shot sounded, the Baroness was sure that it was not an illusion caused by her ears.
The sound of cannon came from the south of the castle.
"You wait here first," the Baroness said to Mary.
She walked towards the stairs, wanting to go to the rooftop of the tower to see what the sound of cannons was about.
But the Baroness had just taken a few steps.
There was just a 'bang' sound, and the door leading to the east tower was knocked open hard.
Payne rushed in in a panic: "Mother, Elena is missing, she must have been stolen by someone!"
The shells heard by the Baroness were fired by Wallace's company.
After being attacked by a stone of unknown origin.
Wallace's company caused a series of bad consequences.
The rocks fell at high speed, causing extremely serious casualties. One of the two artillery pieces was turned into scrap metal on the spot.
Fortunately, the vehicle transporting ammunition was not hit by rocks.
When the incident occurred, the entire company was marching at night in a very dense formation.
If the ammunition truck explodes, there will not be many intact soldiers left.
Wallace had to leave some men behind to take care of the large number of wounded.
This was the beginning of the entire disaster, with the explosion and resulting destruction severely damaging the surrounding terrain.
Shortly after Captain Wallace set off with the remaining men, he took the wrong road.
After wandering in the woods for quite some time, some soldiers got lost and fell behind.
Finally there were 230 men with Captain Wallace.
Fortunately, the last cannon and the cart of ammunition were given special care and were not thrown anywhere.
Otherwise, how will we deal with or intimidate Huntingdon Castle?
It wasn't until the sun got rid of the obstruction of the trees and rose into the sky that Wallace's team found the correct direction.
But because the team is in the wrong position, it is difficult to get back on the right path even if it is hit in the right direction.
Soon after returning to the correct direction, Wallace discovered that the company had entered a low-lying area with no roads by mistake.
Although this is Captain Wallace's hometown, he only came here once or twice to visit his father.
Wallace said to the surrounding soldiers: "Give me the order, is there anyone familiar with this area? I need a guide."
A few minutes later, a soldier whose hometown was not far from here was brought to Wallace.
"Mr. Captain, I know this place. We are going to be in big trouble now."
"Don't worry, talk calmly and tell me everything you know."
"Mr. Captain, this is a large depression. It will even turn into a swamp during the rainy season."
