Chapter 8 Conversation in the Castle

Sintra Castle.

In the room with swaying lights, a petite figure sat by the windowsill, swaying two white lotus-like calves, while looking at the crowd of people walking like ants on the well-connected road below the castle.

Under the gray rat hair, her beautiful green eyes were filled with distress and irritability, "Halma, Kyris...where are you? I miss you." In the soft murmur, her thin shoulders trembled, and then she sobbed while covering her little face.

"Oh! Hell!"

The rapid footsteps sounded from far to near, and a sudden person suddenly hugged her from behind from the windowsill.

"Little baby Xirui, why did I tell you? Don't sit in such a dangerous place..." The woman looks in her forties, with beautiful facial features, and although there are fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she still has charm and her voice is extremely gentle. "Now our grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other. If you have any more accidents, how can I survive?"

She was wearing a graceful and luxurious palace dress, with a pair of beautiful emerald eyes, but the clear nasolabial lines between her cheeks made her look a little serious, and her thin lips and high nose bridge added a little more meanness to her.

"Let me down..." The girl snorted like a little beast, and the heavy nasal sound made this sentence more like acting cute.

The latter pressed her shoulders and straightened the girl's body. Two pairs of beautiful eyes that were extremely similar looked at each other, and no one was willing to retreat.

"Chiri, grandma is very worried about you and promised me not to risk climbing to the windowsill again."

"No," the girl raised her clean little face and said stubbornly, "I grew up in Skellijah. Uncle Krach told me to be a free petrel on the sea, rather than a canary in a cage. You put me under house arrest and never let me go anywhere. Now, do you even take my last pleasure?

"As long as you swear to me, don't try to escape again." The woman sighed, "Grandmother will give you freedom."

"As long as you promise me, don't let me marry the fat guy there!" The girl retorted, "Cirry won't run around!"

"Enough!" Karanser roared suddenly and stood up, a hint of angry blush gushed out of his face, just like a thunder and rain suddenly appeared in the clear sea. The majesty of being in power for a long time instantly shocked the petite figure opposite, and the girl lowered her head in a silent and cold manner.

"Chiri, grandmother knows that you are not in a good mood during this period." The woman's voice became cold and hard, "But as the princess of Sintra, you should take responsibility for this country and share your worries for your grandmother, and stop making trouble!"

"But..." the girl said quietly, "I have already made an appointment with Halma and will marry him in the future..."

"No one, you are no one doing it!"

"How can I not count? The witness of Carris, Paveta...Paveta agreed." As he said, the girl's voice suddenly weakened and her eyes were red.

Karanser instantly restrained his anger and said sadly, "Grandmother promised Paveta that she will definitely find a good home for you. Cialis, you have also heard the fairy tale of princes and princesses. As the princess of Sintra, with your noble status, only the prince of one country is worthy of being your fiancé. Christine of Viden is the most suitable candidate."

The woman comforted, "Don't look at Christine being fatter now, but he is still a child like you. In a few years, he will definitely grow into a handsome and kind prince."

"Then let him look good and get engaged to me again." Xiri stomped her feet and said in anger.

She didn't realize the consequences of her doing so.

Soon, angry Karanser asked the soldiers to completely seal the windows of her room, and then closed the small people with a bunch of dolls and books alone.

"During this time, you will stay in the room and reflect on me. When the day comes, you will have to go there for me no matter whether you want it or not!"

Leaving this sentence, Karanser left without any hesitation - Sintra's lioness almost never bowed to anyone, even his own granddaughter.

"Hmph!" Xiri stared at her back and took a few bites like a cat, then picked up a thick book, threw it hard onto the bed, knocking over a bunch of rag dolls.

"boring!"

The girl who grew up in Skellijah played ice skating, racing, and crab fishing with her friends. She was not interested in books and the dead dolls on the bed.

She lay on the bed and shook her calves boredly. I don’t know how long it took, but when Xili was dizzy and about to fall asleep, the door suddenly sounded behind her. She was excited and jumped out of the bed.

"Aimee, my good sister, you are finally here!"

"Be gentle, my princess, be careful not to fall down." The girl in yellow dress smiled and hugged the girl, holding her hand to the bed.

"Why did the window lock? You got the queen again?" The girl shaved Xiri Jiao's erect nose with a funny look, and the latter rubbed it in her arms as if she was coquettish, "She forced me to marry that fat man again! I don't agree!"

"Actually..." The girl's expression became slightly darker, "The queen was helpless, and the pressure on her in the south was getting bigger and bigger... Sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you about this."

"Tell me quickly..." Xiao Xili excitedly held the girl's soft palm, "Today is the Summer Solstice Festival. Have you encountered any interesting things outside? Let me relieve my boredom."

"It's true today!" Next, the girl in yellow dress described her experience in Sintra Market Square vividly to the little girl.

"Petrified lizard?"

"Griffin?"

"The Witch Hunter?"

"Oh my God! The witch hunter tamed the griffin!"

"And killed the ghoul for the horse-faced man?"

As Xili heard a loud scream, an excited blush appeared on her delicate little face, and then she pinched her white fist and hammered the bed in annoyance, wishing she could participate in the scene in person.

"Tell me quickly, how does the witch hunter look? Is it the legendary monster? The white hair and the creepy eyes of wild beasts?"

The girl shook her head, "These folk legends exaggerate and deliberately vilified the witch hunter. The priest looked similar to a normal person, with two eyes and one mouth. But his eyes are indeed different from ordinary people, and they are dark and golden."

"My eyes are different from everyone else!"

Xili, with green eyes, couldn't help but feel a little fond of the witch hunter.

"Your eyes are more beautiful. But that young witch hunter is not bad, he is quite pleasing to the eye."

"It was he who tamed the griffin beast? Didn't it mean that griffin never surrender?"

"Just a young and weak griffin." The girl corrected, "the combat power may not be as good as a wolf, and she has not learned the loyalty of her parents."

Xiri said seriously, "But that's also a griffin, not a cat, dog, cow, sheep and bear. Many uncles I know in Skellijah who look like iron barrels have never killed griffin. The young witch hunter is not an exaggeration to call him a warrior."

"You mentioned it just now," Xiri nervously grabbed the girl's tenderness, "The witch hunter helped the horse-faced man kill the ghoul and avenge his brother?"

The girl nodded.

A hint of joy flashed across Ciri's little face, "So, that witch hunter is a warrior with a sense of justice, he is simply the reinforcement sent by Goddess Freya to me! My good sister--"

Xiri's eyes were straight at the girl, and she was shining, "Can you let them save a princess who was imprisoned in the palace?"

As she said that, she couldn't wait to jump out of the bed, took out a handful of jewelry from the drawer of the dressing table, and held it in front of the girl, "I can give them a lot of money...a big commission!"

After saying that, Cili raised his little head and said righteously, "And I, the princess of Sintra, the heir of Skelij Island, will grant him the identity of a knight."

"Haha!" Aimee couldn't help laughing.

As the child of the Sintra Royal Court minister, he colluded with the witch hunter and kidnapped the princess who was about to set off for engagement under the nose of Karansse? He would definitely be beheaded by Karansse!

She only treats this as a joke.

"My little princess...hehe...you really dare to think that the queen is supreme in the entire Sintra, and the witch hunter cannot be foolish enough to offend His Highness's majesty."

"Sister Aimee, are you just watching Xiao Xiri marry that smelly and ugly fat man?"

"You haven't seen Prince Christine, why do you think he is smelly?" Aimee waved his hand, lifted his skirt and walked towards the door.

"Okay, little princess, let's stop here for today's chat. I'll see you again when I hear more interesting stories!"

Xiri looked at his departure back, and his eyes were filled with cunning.

"There will always be a solution." She clearly remembered that her mother Paveta had said a lot of good things about the witch hunter, so she put her hands on her hips and said to herself.

"Since the witch hunter has helped my parents, why can't I save me once?"

"Hmph! Let Carranser invite him over! If I don't agree, I won't go to see that little fat man! Just do that!"

...

Almost at the same time, northeast of Sintra, across the Yarruga River, a white-haired witch hunter led his mare Lochi to the palace of Bruge, where a major commission was waiting for him.

Stepping onto the high steps, a gust of wind blew across his vicissitudes of cheeks, and his left eye leaped for no reason.

“What is it?”

He inexplicably felt that something important would come to him next.
