Chapter 89: Grace's request

Feel the short dagger inserted in the boot, the roll wrapped around the dagger, the linen cloth that has been soaked in blood for years, and Rock seems to see her sister Leah smiling and looking at this naughty brother in front of herself .
Knowing that everything was well at home, Locke felt a lot relieved. The communication with Henry and Bruce was also quite harmonious. During this period, Locke appeared to casually disclose the status of his promotion to a low-level servant, ushering in a lot of compliments and praise from the two.
Locke also learned from the two populations that almost all of the caravans sent by the baron were currently recalled. It is not difficult for Locke, who knows the general situation of the camp, to guess that Baron Kaidoqi, who has regained his strength and merits, has already Abandoned the previous plan to focus on economic development and prepared to reap the benefits in the final battle with Charlotte.
After saying goodbye to Henry, Locke temporarily cancelled his plan to find Xia Qian. Because he learned from Henry's mouth that Grace, Rafi and Christine were also here. Locke intends to go find them first. Although Locke's relationship with these three women has been lukewarm, they still help Xia Qian through the difficulties when they are killed.
Walking to the carriage position somewhere in the transportation team, Locke saw three Grace girls from a distance. Maid Raffy wore a nondescript leather armor and scolded a unkempt man in the Charlotte costume beside the carriage. Christine was sitting on the carriage, shaking his legs and watching the strange scenes around him.
As for Grace, who has always coveted the beautiful colors, she stood very beside the carriage and stood there quietly. Under the setting sun, the bright sun, the graceful lady, and the colorful clouds formed a beautiful picture. Locke didn’t even dare to break this beautiful painting.
While Locke was staying to watch Grace in the sunset, Christine, who was watching the surroundings idle, first found Locke not far away. With a happy expression on his face, he jumped off the carriage and ran towards Locke.
Christine ran close and jumped directly into Locke’s arms. Because of successive twists and turns and boat rides, the little girl was a lot thinner than girls of the same age. After being promoted to a low-ranking servant, the body became much stronger. It was easy to pick up Christine.
Even watching the little girl run over so excitedly, Rock also threw Christine into the sky a few times. Christine was lifted by Rock to the sky with no fear, but instead he grinned.
"Have you missed your brother?" Locke always regarded Christine as his sister. In France, Locke let the little girl call her brother.
"Think!" Kristin didn't have the shyness and subtle character of the little girl, but responded Locke carelessly.
Rock and Kristin's laughter attracted the attention of Grace and Rafi. This is Fostein's joint military camp, and there are many powerful ones.
Seeing Locke coming, Rafi stopped yelling at the man who had always nodded, and Grace looked at Locke calmly.
"What's going on?" Rock asked Rafi. He hasn't dared to look at Grace until now, because the mature and calm eyes of this woman, Locke always looks uncomfortable. In front of Grace, Locke can only use his strength and muscles to overwhelm the woman. It was like forcibly taking them away in France.
"This guy misplaced the goods to be shipped!" Rafi pointed to the man next to him.
Looking at the man's dirty clothing and a thick Charlotte's remote country voice, it is not difficult for Locke to guess that this should be the batch of Charlotte refugees Xia Qian conquered. Xia Qian gathered a large number of refugees in the town of Giza and took them to deal with the caravan of Baron Kedozi, which made Henry, a savvy businessman, impressed.
"It's not a big deal, Henry will give me this face!" Locke said to Rafi, not that he pityed this shabby refugee Charlotte leader, but that Locke didn't want to waste time on these little things.
Rafi didn't expect Locke to say that, froze for a moment, and then nodded. Grace seemed to take a deep look at Locke.
The leader of the Charlotte refugee, whose head could not be reprimanded by Rafi, looked at Locke gratefully. He was a refugee who fled from the southeastern border of Charlotte. Because of the strong tax levies and war shadows of the lords in the territory, the autumn harvest did not harvest enough food.
When he fled to the town of Giza, he caught up with Xia Qian and recruited people to work as a coolie. Although he only managed a full meal, this group of Shirlow refugees had nothing more than a bad life. This disheveled middle-aged man was given certain management authority by Xia Qian because of her honest duty.
He was also unlucky, and the good wheat he had previously calculated in Giza Town was a little less when he was transported to the United Barracks. I don’t know which kind of wicked guy secretly hid a part. In the past, this kind of private behavior, whether it was Xia Qian or Henry and other businessmen, kept his eyes closed.
Because a little bit of food is really not worth a few dollars, but this time it's different. The countless Folstein soldiers guarded outside the huge barracks made these Charlottes frightened, and the middle-aged man was really afraid that Rafi would hand him over to the Fulstein because of his mistake.
Although Falstein was the party invading Charlotte, the Charlottes who had been beaten down had more fear than Fostan soldiers for feelings than hatred.
Of course, Rafi would not hand over this middle-aged man to the Forstan soldier. As a member of the Charlotte, Rafi was extremely dissatisfied with the help of the caravan of the Forstan army. If it was not forcibly ordered by Grace Rafi helps Xia, so Rafi doesn't care so much.
In fact, Rafi didn't like Fostan people except Locke. Especially the businessman Henry, the vampire had planned to let the Charlotte refugees die for a day and a half of the chestnut cake. If it was not Xia Qian who stood up against it in time, it made Henry change his mind and replace it with a piece of black bread. Rafi could not guarantee that he could not help but cut down the Forstin.
When the Charlotte refugee was sent away, Locke was calm and took a good look at Grace and the girls. Kristin hasn't seen her in two months, but she hasn't changed much, but she has lost a lot of weight. Locke plans to find Kerry, the cook in the logistics department, to make up for Christine.
Lafite has a melodious taste. Although she is wearing a strange leather armor, although she is not holding a long sword, but standing there, she has a good temperament. Not giving Rafi a weapon because she was a Charlotte in the end, and businessman Henry did not want such an unstable factor in his caravan.
As for Grace, she was still wearing the robe when Locke first saw her. The wide hood covered Grace’s hair and face, but it could not cover the noble temperament that she exuded all over her body. .
Speaking of temperament, among the women Locke has seen, only Angelina can beat her, but Angelina has a greener, Grace is full of maturity and intellectuality, so she has always claimed to be the big and rough Locke Very uncomfortable.
"Are you all right?" Locke asked casually when he couldn't find the topic.
Rafi didn't say anything. She had always had a relatively low sense of existence among the three girls. Locke also learned from the conversation on weekdays that she was like a maid. Kristen is still hanging his hands on Locke's neck at this time, having fun.
Grace took over Locke's words: "Not bad."
"Aunt Xia Qian?" Christine, who was hanging on Locke at this time, suddenly asked her that she had a good relationship with Xia Qian in the past two months.
Because of lack of love from father and mother since childhood, Kristin has been very close to her aunt Grace. Later, she met Xia Qian. Xia Qian's mature woman loves Kristin little, and even hugs her at night. Christine kissed and fell asleep, Xia Xi gave Christine a kind of maternal love that was different from her aunt Grace's care.
"Aunt Xia Qian is on the other side. Let's take you to find her!" Locke kept the little girl hanging from her body, and led the three to the place where Xia Qian lived.
Halfway through, when there were fewer people on the way, Grace pulled Locke.
"What's the matter?" Locke was always curious about this mysterious and rational woman.
After pondering for a long time, Grace finally raised her head, faced Locke, and said, "I hope you can find a way to take me to Odyssey."
At this time, whether it was Christine hanging from his shoulder or Lafie following him, he looked at Locke expectantly. It seems that the three of them thought about it in advance.
Locke was surprised by Grace's request. Without much consideration, Locke refused Grace. "Not to mention my ability, why should I do this?" Locke asked Grace.
Locke has always had a feeling of detachment with the three Grace girls. Except for the little girl Christine who is close to Locke, Rafi and Grace have met with Locke since they met in France. Very few. Locke would not take such a big risk because they helped Xia Qian.
"I can promise to be your woman!" Grace said amazingly, even Rafi and Kristin were amazed. It seemed that they had not discussed this condition.
"You will become my woman if you don't agree!" Locke said arrogantly, no matter what identity Grace used to be, now she was in Locke's hands and she couldn't run.
"Then all you can get is a corpse of mine." Grace sneered, she seemed to be rather broken than jade.
"Don't you always want me?" Grace pressed tightly, staring at Locke with staring eyes. "As long as you promise me, I will be your woman willingly."
Locke was a little dizzy due to this sudden incident, but at one point he was still awake, and this request could not be granted.
"I can't do this kind of thing, and it's useless for you to find me!" Locke left such a sentence directly, put down Christine, and strode away.
Odyssey is going in now? In such a whole barracks, the Forstan army with more than 70,000 people will not be able to drain the water around the city of Odis. Unless Locke turns into a hole in the hole, don't think about other methods.
Locke estimated that as long as he dared to bring people close to the gates of the city of Odis, he would be shot into the sieve by the arrow rain of the Forster army behind him. Not to mention that Locke saved the princess, but saved the king. He believed that Prince Kensell would order the arrow without hesitation. Prince Kensell gave Locke the same feeling as when he saw Baron Kedozi as an ordinary soldier. Locke admires such people.
What's more, whether it is Prince Kensell or Marquess Marmen, they are very good to Locke. The prince also gave Locke a noble promise. Of course, Locke will not do treason because of her foreign woman Grace. . Locke has never forgotten the identity of Grace's three female Charlottes.
