Chapter 22: Charlemagne

This is a small yard. There are only two rooms and a porter in the yard. After they were admitted, the two hurriedly entered the main house in the center of the courtyard.
After entering the door, the woman in front took off her cloak to reveal her full appearance. This is a young woman of about twenty-five-six, with a melon seed face, a pointed chin, delicate skin and smooth hair, and a haggard face. Let her have a morbid beauty. The girl in her arms is also pale, the little girl's thin arms and legs seem to have no weight in the woman's hands, and she seems to be sick, and there is an unnatural blush on her cheeks.
"Miss, Master, he still refused us." The cloak man in the back also revealed his true face. This is an old man in his fifties or sixties. His face is covered with wrinkles, and he looks like this woman's servant.
"Alas, he can't protect himself, how can he send troops to my ladies." The beautiful woman said, "Rafi, go and give Christine Sheng bowl of soup." The woman gently touched the little girl in her arms. Put her on the chair next to her head and told the maid who had just entered the door behind her.
"Miss, there is almost no food left at home." The little maid said crisply and bowed her head. Upon hearing this, the woman asked in surprise, "Did I just my earrings and bracelet? Isn't the money enough for these two meals?"
"Madam, the price of food in the city has risen again, and it is difficult to buy things with money," Rafi explained in a low voice.
"Forget it, as long as you can support it, it really doesn't work..." The woman touched the sapphire necklace around her neck. This was her last piece of jewelry and the most precious one.
The maid ordered to serve the little girl soup. A bowl of unpretentious noodle soup was the only food in the family. The woman and the two servants didn’t eat. She (he) could still stand up, but she was sick. The little girl can't stand. The two servants seemed to be strict tutors. Although they did not eat, they did not show anything. The elderly servant consciously went to the porter to watch the night. The maid returned to the room under the woman's instructions.
The woman carefully feeds the little girl with the spoon. The little girl sits on the chair in a clever manner, no noise and noisy, just drinking the soup fed by the woman, the little girl squints slowly, as if enjoying What is delicious. "Auntie, you drink too." The little girl's voice is very waxy, which may be the reason for her illness. The little face is reddish, revealing a cuteness.
"My aunt has drank it, little Christine drank, and she should be sick soon." The woman showed a sympathetic look.
"Well, so quickly!" The little girl nodded heavily.
"Auntie also drinks~" At night, the little girl's voice came.
This woman is called Grace, not an ordinary woman, but a daughter of a marquise. She is also a famous beauty in the Kingdom of Charlotte. His father is Marquis Philip, one of the three Marquises of Charlotte. , Flowers of the kingdom.
But at this time she was just an ordinary woman, a woman who was going to despair.
After feeding Christine, Grace comforted the little girl to sleep, because all the money she had spent was spent, she couldn’t take the little girl to see the doctor, not to mention that she can’t find a doctor now. Will be forced to join the army, Charlotte is now in a crisis of kingdom survival, the doctor may only have the hands of the lords with heavy soldiers, such as her brother, now the lord of France, Willis.
After Grace took care of the little girl and fell asleep in bed, she sat quietly by the bed. It was a cloudy night tonight. There was no moon, it was dark, and it was like her heart, cast a shadow. She couldn't help thinking of her father, the famous Marquis Philip.
There are three provinces in Charlotte, and there are also three marquises. They are Marquis Philip, Marquis Campbell and Marquis Clark. The three marquises are in the three provinces to defend the kingdom. Now there are only two marquises left in the kingdom. Marquis Clark Gordon Heights died in a battle with the enemy, and Marquis Philip and Marquis Campbell are now stationed in the order of King Enwei and Ellis City, both the King and the Guardian.
On the night a month ago, her father called her to meet and told her to pack up and take her elder brother's daughter to her younger brother Willis. "The Kingdom is time for life and death this time" Marquis Philip, who was once brilliant, is now just a bad old man with white hair. "You quickly bring Christine to your brother Willis, his territory. It is very close to the Morpheus Forest. You can find him to borrow troops to protect you from crossing the Morpheus Forest to the Kingdom of Karaman opposite. I also have some manors over there, and you can eat and wear without worry in the future." Marquis Philip 'S admonition is still in the ears, "Remember, don't come back, the royal family is now staring at our family to prevent the escape, the men in the family have no chance, only you and Christine are allowed to leave, you have to live Go on, for the blood of the Philip family!"
Grace took Christine under the protection of more than ten guards and fled to his younger brother who had not been valued. Perhaps it was too much coldness and contempt in his childhood. His younger brother, born of his father and a maid in the family, had no affection for himself and Christine, and even took his guards to defend the city. Transferred away, just arrange a few of them in a yard and no longer take care of it.
"Willis is a map that wants to traverse the Morpheus Forest and the real estate of the Karaman Kingdom Estate." As Wang's famous sociable flower, Grace can certainly find his brother's intentions. It wouldn't be a problem for everyone to leave together at that time. Not good, but his attitude seems to be to leave them alone.
Fortunately, many people in the army in the city knew her, the daughter of the head of the family, and Willis did not dare to be blatant and could only adopt this method of house arrest.
Little Christine fell asleep quietly, and Grace covered her and covered her horns, and lay beside, but she couldn’t sleep. She and her maid, Lafite, and the housekeeper hadn’t eaten for a day, and she was only at noon today. When she met her brother in the city's palace, she stole two cakes. Willis tried to force them to despair.
Just as Grace forced herself to fall asleep to avoid hunger, there was a lot of noise and crying outside. And it got worse and worse, as if the city was chaotic all at once. "What's going on?" Grace opened the door and looked out.
"Miss, no good, the army of the Kingdom of Forstan is besieged!" The old housekeeper's horrified voice came. "No, let's go quickly, while the city is not completely surrounded yet." The old housekeeper hurriedly urged.
Grace immediately returned to her room, picked up Christine who was still awake, and followed the crowd with the old housekeeper and maid, and this place lived with rich and wealthy people, followed these people to escape, at least The direction is correct. It was too late, and he could only fight hard. The old housekeeper and the maid were both practicable, and hoped that they could take them out of the Morpheus Forest.
Outside the city, Baron Kedoch and Bark Kashir sat by the campfire and appeared to be roasting a pheasant. "This guy was caught by my guard Harvey. Baron Kedoch. You are blessed tonight. "Baron Kashir said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure to eat something baked by Baron Kashir." Baron Kedoqi said modestly.
The soldiers around the two marched fast. They had already negotiated on the road before. They still used the previous method. One of the three was missing. Baron Kedoqi blocked one city gate. Baron Kashir blocked two city gates. Franz City leaves a retreat.
The reason for this is to prevent the French city from fighting in the water and give them a hope that they will not leave all their strength to fight with them, and that the city gate that is left is not so easy to run, Baron Kedoch The cavalry squadron stayed at the gate and waited for them. The task of the cavalry squadron was to intercept the escaped businessmen and nobles. These talents were fat, and the high knight servant Will Knight was stationed. Both of them were relieved.
When the pheasants on the campfire were roasted, the siege was over. Nearly a thousand soldiers circled the small town twice, and even a squadron of Baron Kashgar was stationed at the northern gate of the retreat to France.
The soldiers replenish food and maintain their spirits under the orders of their respective chiefs. They are not attacking tonight, mainly to overwhelm the Charlotte’s sense of resistance, and the troops marched for a day, and they needed to be adjusted. Everyone received the news. The siege will begin tomorrow morning.
Locke is now at the West Gate. This is their battalion responsible for attacking the Encheng Gate. I don’t know what deal the Baron and Baron Kashir have. In short, which one will first enter the city pool. The squadron in the most advanced city will receive a generous reward.
Tomorrow's third squadron will first try to attack the city to check the defensive strength of this gate. Then one or two squadrons will go together. This is the highlight, and it will usually be finalized. This is just a small city. The city that was won before did so. Yes, their squadron is in the third batch, mainly to clean up the mess.
Tomorrow's mission seems to be easier than others. Locke breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been a soldier for four years and had seen blood and flames many times, Locke still had a great respect for death. Able to obtain the mission with the lowest danger. Although there is little oil and water, Locke is also very satisfied. There is hope in life.
