Vol 5 Chapter 37: The price of love

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the huge silver plate glowed with intoxicating bright colors, and the snow left in the distant woods from time to time flashed a piece of silver light with the sky clouds sliding, also illuminated a Figure in the moonlight.
Miss Aloxia walked forward quietly. She led a horse carefully from the depths of the camp to the gate. When she saw the patrolling night watchman, she immediately hid carefully in the shadows and waited until there was no movement. come out.
The Viscount Hilva ’s camp is surrounded by lookout posts, but those posts are outside the monitoring camp. The people on the lookout tower will not think that someone will want to escape from the camp quietly on such a quiet night. .
Aloxia held her breath carefully and walked forward along the camp fence. When she finally reached the gate, she stopped a little and then her hands closed to make a cuckoo-like cry.
The same cry came from the direction of the gate, and then a figure came out of the shadow.
"Dad." A Luoxia whispered, then lowered her head and kicked the grass on the ground slightly embarrassedly.
"God, I actually help you do this kind of thing. I think I'm crazy." The tall, thin old man murmured a little helplessly, looking at Aloxia's innocent and firm eyes under the moonlight, The old man finally forbeared and finally said, "You can't regret it after listening to the lady going out of this door. Even the Viscount Master can't help you in the future."
"I know," Aloxia said in a low voice, and when she saw the old man's embarrassed face, she suddenly smiled and hugged the old man hard. "If I succeed, I will be your son's wife, bless me." "
The old man moved a little embarrassedly, but finally patted Aloxia's back.
"Bless you and my child, and may God bless you." The old man waved his hands back toward the lookout tower after he finished speaking.
"They know I will come?" A Luoxia asked a little unexpectedly.
"You think you can really escape on your own," the old man chuckled. "We can stay here for so long without those orthodox traitors and Ottomans discovering that this is not just because of God's favor and luck."
The old man said that he led A Luoxia towards the gate. With the dull door opening, A Luoxia led the horse and walked out of the camp quietly.
"Remember, there is no turning back when you walk out of this door." The old man reminded again.
"If I hope that this door is always open, it only shows that I don't really love Moorco." Aloxia watched the camp door slowly close in front of him. "Bless me, I will become Moorco's wife."
After talking, she walked towards the dark wood without looking back.
Seeing A Luoxia's voice disappear as the two camp doors closed, the old man sighed softly.
"Is this God's arrangement?" The old man looked up at the sky and looked at the moon like a disk. The old man couldn't help but take a deep breath of the night air. "God, bless those two poor children."
A Luoxia walked carefully in the woods. Although she had been far away, she still dared not make too much noise. She knew that a little sound on such a night might cause a disturbance, especially in the woods. This is the case, so she can only slow down as much as possible to make her voice quieter.
A crisp sound came from the front, Aloxia couldn't help but startled, she clenched her dagger in her arms tightly, staring at the large shadow of the canopy like a black hole in front of her.
"Miss Aloxia, I have to say that you are really stupid."
A slightly ridiculous voice came from behind the tree, and Alexander slowly came out. After a few trees near him, several hunting guards stared carefully around.
"Do you want to stop me, Earl?" Aloxia's eyes widened wide. She stared at Alexander's mind, turning her thoughts quickly to try to stop him, but soon she found that she had no reason to persuade each other.
Obviously her uncle hoped to achieve his goal through the marriage between her and the count, and now she actually had to run away. If she let her uncle know the consequences of her move, Aloxia couldn't help but panic.
"I do want to stop you, but don't get me wrong, it's not that your uncle did it, it's purely for your safety."
Alexander walked up to Aloxia and looked at her with a smile, and then he easily searched for Aloxia's secretly dagger and another dagger hidden behind her.
"These are not enough, I mean it is very dangerous for you to go alone, especially at this time," Alexander said, pulling the musket from his holster and handing it to Aloxia. "I believe this thing is better than yours. The dagger is more useful, as long as you can use it calmly, even the most brutal man ca n’t hurt you.

"You don't want to hand me over to my uncle?" A Luoxia asked unexpectedly.
"Why should I do this?" Alexander raised his hand to hold Aloxia's chin and smiled at her. "I believe I am not the only one who desires freedom and love."
A Luoxia's face suddenly turned red, as if facing a robber who tried his best to protect his property, but finally found that the robber seemed to have no interest in the things that she had to fight her life to keep, which made her feel Some have a fever.
"You need someone to protect," Alexander waved back, and the two local mountain people immediately rode over. "I will let them protect you where you want to go. As for your uncle, I can think of a solution."
"I don't know what to say ... Earl ..." Aloxia looked at Alexander with some consternation. When she wanted to come to her, if she could not escape, the only result was that she would become the wife of the earl and even worse, become his lover. Now the young man not only prevented her from escaping, but even willing to help her find another man.
"Then don't say anything," Alexander smiled and bowed slightly to Aloxia. "Wish you all the best."
A Luoxia shook her head incredulously, and after a while she leaned forward and tipped her toes to kiss gently on Alexander's lips.
"If I don't meet Moore, I think I will love you." Aloxia whispered.
"If you don't leave, I will regret being so generous."
Seeing his own words changed Aloxia's look, Alexander helped her to turn her horse funny.
"Okay, it's far away from your uncle's camp, so you don't have to worry about being discovered."
Alexander said a few words to the two Balkans next to him, although I do n’t know if they really understood it, but think about Cacio ’s instructions before them, Alexander believes that they still know the responsibilities they shoulder .
Aloxia pulled the reins around the place twice, and then turned the horse's head towards the depths of the woods.
"Is it a pity?" Gompati, who came out from another tree, said with regret, "This lady is a rare beauty."
"Then do you think I should accept this 'gift' from Viscount?" Alexander asked back.
Gompati opened his mouth, but think about the impression of the young lady of the Rowley family, and then think of the daughter of another more prominent pope. Gompati covered her embarrassment with a cough.
"Soon the Viscount will know that his lovely niece is missing, let us think about what to do at that time." Alexander gave Gompati an intriguing smile. "The Viscount must have died of this headache."
In fact, Viscount Hilva knew that the news of the niece ’s escape was later than thought. The Viscount who woke up from the hangover at noon the next day only discovered that the people around him seemed to be hiding him, which made him very worried. Unhappy, after pulling a servant a few times with a whip, he finally knew what happened from the servant.
"What do you mean A Luoxia is gone, what do you mean, what is missing?"
"The master is Miss Aloxia. She is not in the camp. No one knows where she is now, and a horse in her stable is gone."
"God," Viscount Hilva finally seemed to understand what he was looking at his servant in disbelief, after a while he suddenly shouted, "Go find her, what are you waiting for, she can't escape alone It's far away, find it now! "
"Master, someone has already found it," the servant replied carefully. "But because I don't know where Miss Aloxia went ..."
"I know where she is," he said when the viscount suddenly heard it, and then he shouted aloud after thinking for a while, "Go and call Old Moore, I should have thought that only he can let Aloxia escape quietly." Not found. "
With the Viscount's order, the old man was brought in front of him, but this time there was no wine or narration, only the Viscount's fierce eyes.
"I treat you as a friend," the Viscount shouted to the old man. "Look at what you did to me. You betrayed my trust in you."
The old man looked at Helva calmly. From the beginning, he knew the anger he would face when the Viscount found out, so although the anger of the Viscount might seem to be turned into a fire at any time, he was still dead, but the old man was still calm.
"You eventually betrayed me," Viscount Hilva calmed down after venting his anger. He looked at the old man and said coldly, "For you, your son is still more important than your lord, but now Although I may not be able to chase Aloxia anymore, it may make you pay for your stupidity. "
"Master, I have served you since you were very young," the old man said a little dryly. "I know what I did so I will not ask for forgiveness. I only hope you can forgive the two poor children, even God will have mercy on them. . "
"You dare to plead for this kind of thing in the name of God, this is blasphemy is depravity, when I find your courageous son, I will let him know that he can live to see hell, as for you, now I let you know that betrayal What a taste. "
Viscount Hilva roared and walked towards the door until he saw Alexander walking far away.
"Damn it," Hurwa cursed in a low voice. He had wanted to avoid it, but immediately found out that he was obviously unable to get rid of it, so he had no choice but to greet him forward. , Maybe you can give me some ideas. "
"I know what happened, and I came here for this." Alexander walked past the stiff Viscount, and saw the old man in the room smile. "If I'm right, you are about to punish him." right?"
"It seems that you do know what happened." Helva asked somewhat uncomfortably. What he was really worried about was that Alexander was so familiar with what happened on his side, which gave the Viscount a very uneasy anxiety.
"I don't know much, but it's enough," Alexander looked at the old man and looked at him. "It seems that Miss Aloxia really loves your son, but unfortunately you have to pay for this love."
"I'm planning to punish him, but I promise you, Count will not end this way," the Viscount looked at the old man's eyes coldly. "I am my shame."
"It's more mine," Alexander looked at Hilva. "The Viscount is fortunate that we haven't announced it yet, otherwise we will all face a big scandal."
Herva's brow furrowed tighter. He knew that Alexander's words were good. It would be a huge scandal for him to let others know that his niece actually eloped.
"Master Viscount, I think what we should do now is not to recover your niece, but to think about how to cover our ugliness."
Alexandria's words made Hurva feel another anger, but he seemed to hear something from Alexander's words.
"Count, do you mean you have a way?"
"It should be said that we should do it from the beginning," Alexander said. "We must stop delaying our march to Zagreb. We want to show others that our relationship has not been affected by your niece ’s escape. Otherwise, even A day's delay may cause unnecessary misunderstandings, or do you think those Croatian nobles are deaf and have no idea what happened? "
The Viscount looked ugly on Alexander's face. He knew that he would definitely face humiliation at this time, but when he heard Alexander's words, he was still almost out of control because of his anger.
"There is also a Viscount, what do you think should be done to prevent others from thinking that we are divided because of this matter?" Alexander whispered and looked at the old man who couldn't see far away. "Just punish him. Is this a shameful thing that covers us all?
The muscles on Hurva's face flicked inconspicuously ~ EbookFREE.me ~ By this time he already understood the meaning of Alexander.
Although he was even more angry, thinking about the predicament in front of him, he could only lower his voice and asked, "So what do you think should be done so that our relationship does not look cracked?"
"Give me compensation," Alexander said softly. "The party humiliated for betrayal is entitled to compensation."
Helva looked at Alexander with a somber face. Although he didn't know what happened the night before, he still felt that Alexander seemed more willing to see his niece run away.
"So what do you want?" Helva calmed his mood. He felt that there was no need to be so angry about this matter. After all, he was not yet the Duke of Zagreb. Any promise at this time is just empty talk. That's it.
"Support me," Alexander said calmly and firmly, "I need your support when we arrive in Bucharest, Viscount."
