Chapter 15 Intercession
Chapter 15: Pray ()
"Forget it." Dio suddenly spoke.
At this moment, Dio felt a little confused. Vasily made it clear that the old housekeeper at that time fought to the last breath not to save Sophia, but to protect him Dio. This was to untire a knot for Dio, but another knot for him. With Sophia, he had lived a worry-free life for ten years. What should he do if he hangs Belle now?
Dio didn't want to owe anything to others, so he was determined to go out and look at the outside world. The grudges here came to an end.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Dio, and Sophia was the same. She asked softly, "Dio, what did you say?"
"Forget it." Dio said: "Don't kill Belle."
When everyone heard Dio's words, everyone was stunned. One was because Dio's pronunciation was very clear and his intentions were expressed very clearly, which was completely different from the dullness and dullness in the past. The other was because Dio's words gave people a sense of domineeringness. It was hard to imagine that when the boss gave an order, his subordinates would respond to his superiors with a sentence "forget it." At least the people in this hall would not dare.
"Dio, you..." Sophia sighed: "You don't know what Belle is going to do to you!"
"Don't kill Belle." Dio repeated again.
Everyone's eyes turned to Sofia. Sofia's face changed. It was obvious that she was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without saying anything. After all, she had just made a decision and was changed at will, which would have a bad impact.
The more important thing is that Sofia's main plan this year is to form an armed merchant group, and those present will become the backbone of the armed merchant group. However, the intention of the drunkard is not to drink. In fact, these warriors also understand what Sofia's purpose is.
Most of the troops led by the Baron are in the hands of the eldest and second masters. Sophia only has financial power. As the saying goes, a scholar meets a soldier, it is hard to explain. Although the eldest and second masters are not Sophia's opponents, if the Baron has an accident or an acute illness and does not leave a clear will, Sophia will be eaten so much that there is no bone left. Without the army, there will be no guarantee.
The so-called armed merchant group is just a cover. What Sophia really wants is a well-trained army, and she cannot leave people with the impression that orders are changing every day.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Dio's eyes, okay, he had already tried his best anyway.
Seeing Dio lowering his head slowly, silent, as if he had returned to his own world, Sophia couldn't help but feel ache in her heart, and suddenly said, "Go and bring Belle here."
There is no love between Dio and Sophia. Even if Sophia obeyed the advice of the second young master and agreed to marry Dio, there was no love at all. Some were the protection of the same illness, the peace of suffering and suffering, and the trust of childhood sweethearts.
Although Dio kept saying that Sophia's care for him made him feel uncomfortable, if someone told him that it would be dangerous to help Sophia do something, after success, Sophia will become the heir ranked first in order and live a happy life from now on, will Dio do it?
He will definitely go!
A little girl who is only eight years old knows nothing and cannot blame Sophia for the death of the old housekeeper. This is fate. Moreover, during the years when the two of them are sleeping in the same bed, Sophia has screamed and cried in nightmares, and Dio always comforted Sophia gently. Even if she was interrupted by Sophia, he would not be impatient, because he was an adult and Sophia was a complete child.
In fact, neither of them really understood their own heart song. From the perspective of Dio, he was determined to go to the outside world, full of expectations and imagination, and seemed to be able to set out tomorrow, but if Sophia was always in danger, could he really go out? Also, Dio adhered to the principle that if someone offends me, I will offend him. Brigitte wanted to harm him, but he would actually let him go. If he didn't care about Sophia's mood and was afraid that Sophia would be sad, Brigitte would have died long ago.
From Sophia's perspective, she is already a shiny warrior, much stronger than Sean, but no matter how busy or tired she is, she always has to take time to return to the manor. Only when she sees Dio with her own eyes can she feel at ease. Although in her impression, she seems to be taking care of Dio, her subconscious senses the care from Dio, and this feeling has always affected her unaware of it. Therefore, after seeing Dio, she will smile from the bottom of her heart.
When the warriors heard that Sophia had really changed her mind, they looked at each other, and they looked smart and capable, and decisive. Sophia also had her own weaknesses, but it seemed that it was not worth it for a Dio.
A warrior stood up and quickly left the living room. After a moment, Tony and others carried Belle in. Belle's body was already scared and could not walk by herself. As soon as Tony and others let go, she fell directly to the ground.
"Miss..." Belle burst into tears, she vaguely understood that Sophia might not kill her.
"If Dio hadn't been for your pleading, the noose should have been put around your neck now." Sofia said coldly: "But you can't escape some of the pain. Tony, you will be punished and give a hundred whips!"
Belle turned her head and looked at Dio blankly. She never expected Dio to plead for her.
"Yes, Miss." Tony responded, leaned down and grabbed Belle's arm, and picked up Belle.
Not long after, Brigitte and Belle echoed each other screams from outside. In fact, Tony and others have their own qualities. Brigitte and Belle are weak women, not even awakened people. If you use your strength, you can break the backbone of Brigitte and Belle with just a few whips. No one will really take a heavy blow.
"Okay, let's get here today." Sophia was also a little upset when she heard the screams of Brigitte and Belle: "Everyone is running all the way and is very tired, go back and rest."
"Yes, Miss, then we will say goodbye." The warriors stood up one after another, first bowed at Sophia, and then walked out in order.
Dio also stood up and Sophia said, "Dio, where are you going?"
“Go back to my yard.”
"Look at you, it's so dirty." Sofia clapped her hands, and the two maids walked out from behind when they heard the sound: "Follow them to clean up, how old is you, and you don't know how to take care of yourself?" Sofia's words sounded like accusing Dio, but there was a very natural intimate smell in her tone.
Dio lowered his head and looked at it. He stood in the wilderness for three days and three nights. His body was really dirty and he should have to clean up.
Following two maids through the small building, there are several houses made of bricks and stones. This is the kitchen, and behind it is the bathhouse. Several servants are busy. Their task is to send charcoal fires to the tunnel under the bathhouse, and then pull the giant bellows behind the bathhouse to heat the pool water with the burning charcoal fire. For ordinary people, this is an unbearable luxury, but for the members of the Baron's family, it is no big deal. Of course, except Sophia and Dio, others are not blessed to be saved, even Brigitte.
Dio was very familiar with this place. After stepping into the room, he took off his clothes and stepped into the water of the pool. He used to come here to take a bath. Even if Sophia was not there, his treatment would not change. This had nothing to do with the attitude of the people in the manor towards him. You must know that managing a bath is a bad thing, and it is less effective. There is a lot of oil and water in it. Those servants wish Dio would come here every day. Anyway, Miss Sophia has to input a lot of money into the manor every month, which is enough to spend.
Like the living room in the small building, the bathtub is decorated in a simple and clean manner, which seems to highlight Sophia's style and preferences. In the center is a small pool with a length and width of about five meters. There is a large square mirror opposite the pool, and in front of the square mirror is a small dressing table. Apart from this, there is no other decoration.
Clusters of bright petals floated in the pool water, floating with the waves, a fragrance filled the air, and the two maids showed helplessness. These were originally prepared for Miss Sophia, but they were unexpectedly taken first by Dio.
Feeling the temperature of the pool water, Dio let out a sigh of relief. In three days, he became a talented warrior. This speed that surpassed the miracle did not make him happy or relieved. On the contrary, he felt anxious for the first time, broke through the barrier of the talented warrior and became a light warrior. Only when he remembered the "Divine Book" can he play a role because of the secret skills!
Secret technique is a skill that uses a specific method to release the source power, or to operate the source power to achieve specific effects. Just as Vasily said, the light samurai is the real samurai!
The two maids also took off their skirts and crawled into the pool water in underwear, serving Dio on the left and right. This treatment was not available before. Only when Sophia came back could they enjoy it. The servants in the manor could use Sophia's care for Dio to gain benefits for themselves, but they would not spend their efforts to serve Dio. To be clear, no one takes Dio seriously, let alone serving an "idiot". Can idiots remember their merits? There is no need, now, just for Miss Sophia to show it.
