Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: In Her Eyes

Compared with the noisy and chaotic room, the corridor outside the door is peaceful and peaceful.

Under Slade's order, Jasil stood obediently at the door of the room and waited for an hour. During this period, she only walked around the corridor a few times and never left.

The orange-yellow afterglow of the setting sun shone into the corridor along the spacious windows. During the long wait with no end in sight, the somewhat bored Jasir couldn't help thinking of the past events that had been dormant in his memory for a long time.

Eleven years have passed since she was bought by Lord Slade from the slave market together with Barton at the age of seven.It was also since then that she has been by Slade's side, as long as he stays in the castle, she will never leave him.

However, this situation was completely changed on that day two years ago.

It was a very ordinary day. She followed Lord Slade as usual, but she saw him stop suddenly, looked down at herself, and said softly:
"Jasil, you can spend more time on your own affairs instead of following me all the time."

At that time, 16-year-old Jasir could not understand the deep meaning behind this sentence.Her first reaction was that Lord Slade thought she was annoyed. Just when she felt a little wronged, she heard Slade add a sentence very patiently:
"It's not interesting to follow me. You can go to the young people in the castle to play with, or you can go to Kent for more shopping, just don't run too far."

Jessier bowed her head and thought hard, and after a while she couldn't help asking: "But, I'm your personal maid? Wouldn't it be strange to do this?"

"No, because I didn't treat you as a maid in the first place. Go and play. If anyone makes you unhappy, remember to come and tell me, and I will teach them a lesson for you."

Lord Slade's tone was as gentle as usual. After saying these words, he lightly patted Jessie's head before turning around and leaving.

Seeing the back of the other party drifting away, Jessie really wanted to follow up as usual.

But in the end, she still chose to "listen to Lord Slade's words carefully", and while walking back to the room silently, she seriously thought about that strange thing——

What can she do to spend her time “on her own business”?

Going to play with the servants in the castle was out of the question, not only because they were busy most of the time, but also because they didn't like her.

And it just so happened that she didn't like those servants either—because they would often speak ill of Lord Slade behind his back, saying that the lord was cruel and cruel, and never treated them as human beings, and only treated those knights. Will be a little more forgiving.

Although Jessie knew that most of what they said was true, she still couldn't swallow this breath.To her, these people were talking bad about her favorite people.

So in the past two years, Jessile, who was suddenly free, could only find something to do in various ways: for example, occasionally go to Kent County for a stroll, occasionally chat with those knights, and occasionally help those "" Servants who don't speak ill of Lord Slade "do some work.

These things made Jessie's life very happy, and at the same time helped her spend a lot of free time.

But whenever she relaxes a little bit, she will immediately feel a feeling of "emptiness".

And this feeling of "emptiness" will become more intense when seeing others walking together, and it is precisely because of this that she deeply realizes one thing——

In the eyes of others, she has always been a maid who is loved by the lord.And it is precisely because of this special status that most people except knights dare not have a close friendship with her.

These people include servants and soldiers in the castle, as well as residents of Kent.

No matter how friendly and enthusiastic Jessie was, it still couldn't dispel their concerns.In particular, the young girls in the castle kept a social distance of "seemingly friendly, but actually alienated" from her, and even walked around her occasionally.

As if afraid of being entangled with her.

Jasir's vaguely isolated situation was in stark contrast to Barton, who was a member of the knight order and had a good chat with most of the knights.

The knights didn't mind Jasile's identity, but as a maid, she couldn't chat with them as frequently as Barton. One was because of her different status, and the other was because she was easily gossiped.

After all, men and women are different, and in recent years, there has been no female knight in Slade's castle.

Although Miss Monalis, who is Slade's personal bodyguard, makes Jessile feel very kind, but she can't always pester him—the other party is a noble person, and she is a little elusive, often unaware that she is busy. what...

She doesn't have good peers, can't make ordinary friends, and can't always go to the knights to play, and even occasionally gets ridiculed by Barton, saying that she "is idle every day and doesn't work."

The combination of these factors made Jasir feel both sad and lonely.

So some time ago, when Angie was brought back by Lord Slade, Jessie was very happy.Even if Master Slade told her not to care about this bloody girl, it was rare for her not to be obedient, but to take good care of her, and even to "deliberately please" her.

This is a girl of the same age as her, and she is also a fearless person. She will naturally become a knight in the future, and she will definitely not mix with those servants who hate Lord Slade.

Moreover, she will not be afraid of herself as "Slade's personal maid".

With this mentality, Jessie took care of Angie in every possible way.

And Anji did not disappoint her good intentions, even if she had nothing to do occasionally, she would come to chat with her and connect with her.

After finally finding a girl of the same age as a companion, Jessie doesn't feel lonely anymore.Even if the girl she was friends with often had to travel far away and was busy with training, so she seldom had time to spend time with her, Jessir didn't think it was a problem.

Although there will always be many things that make Jessie worry about Angie, Master Slade has always taught her this way: Knowing too much is not a good thing, even if you encounter something you don't understand, don't delve into it.

Therefore, when Angie had the first conversation with Lord Slade, a circle of purple marks appeared on her neck, and she didn't pursue it to the end.

When Angie said that she was going to leave the castle and go to a far away place, and even gave her a lot of money inexplicably, she didn't ask any further.

An hour ago, Lord Slade brought Angie into the room and asked her to prepare so many things in advance, but she still didn't ask any more questions.

But now, Lord Slade brought out several basins of bright red water from it, and there were still several towels covered with blood and broken bones.

Finally, Jessie couldn't help but asked:

"Master Slade, did something happen to Angie?"

As she spoke, she looked anxiously behind Slade.

But what came into view was a dark and deep space, as if it was some kind of isolated place.

Obviously before Lord Slade and Angie went in, it was just an ordinary room, right?
Slade ignored the girl's gaze peeking into the room, and did not answer her. He just ordered softly, "Jasil, pack up these things, and go get some clean towels and water."

"Lord Slade—"

Only halfway through Jessie's words, Slade had retreated into the room and closed the door again.

The brown-haired girl held the last basin of blood soaked in towels in both hands, stared blankly at the closed door, and then at the pieces of meat floating on the water, her gaze became more and more dull, and she even forgot herself What to do, just keep thinking the same thing over and over again:
These bits and pieces of "things" should all come from Angie.

The girl who was very close to him seemed to be seriously injured.But an hour ago, she was still so energetic, and she didn't seem to have any abnormalities...

Could this be Lord Slade's doing?
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Jessie accidentally let go of the hand holding the tub.As the girl cried out in surprise, the basin of blood mixed with solids was sprinkled all over the place, and those towels covered with finely broken bones and flesh also fell to the ground together.

She glanced at the blood stains on her petticoat, then at the scene of a murder scene on the ground, stood and squatted and squatted several times before she came back to her senses, turned around suddenly and looked at the stairs, just I saw the white-haired old man who was coming here.

"Grandpa Green!!"

The old man was one of the very few people who treated Jasir with sincerity.She just yelled at the other party, and then her voice suddenly quieted down, and her tone became more and more aggrieved: "I seem to have messed up things..."

Green walked slowly towards Jessie, his eyes swept across the mess on the floor, and then at the girl's petticoat covered in blood, and he instantly understood.

With a kind smile, he walked up to the aggrieved Jasir, gently touched her head, and comforted her softly:
"It's okay, let's clean up together, Lord Slade won't blame you."

Past experience told him that Jessile is not the kind of child who would panic when "accidentally doing something wrong", there must be something else disturbing her thoughts.

Feeling the old man's big and warm hand gently caressing the top of her head, Jessir's long-standing panic finally broke out completely.Under the gentle gaze of the other party, she lowered her head and whispered in a crying voice: "Thank you, Grandpa Green... But, Angie and Lord Slade are still in the room... Why is Lord Slade not willing to talk to me about anything?" Say?"

Green was a little confused by the fragmented description of the girl.He squatted down first, and while cleaning up the mess with Jessier, he cleared his mind, and then he spoke slowly:
"Master Slade will have her thoughts. It's not for us servants to speculate. But if you really want to know the answer to something, you can find a suitable time to have a good chat with Lord Slade. Have a chat. I think she'd be happy to talk to you more."

Green's tone was as calm as ever.Under the patient comfort of the other party, Jessir quickly regained her composure, lowered her head and obediently "hmm", but when she saw the big piece of bone-stained meat, her nose was sour involuntarily.

It was difficult for her to associate these "broken meat and bones" with the girl she liked very much, but the answer was obvious: Angie at this moment should be experiencing some kind of cruel and terrible thing, and her life may even be in danger.

But what she can do is so limited—clean the wooden basins filled with blood and dirty towels, bring some clean towels, and finally clean up this "mess".

After clearing her thoughts, Jasir gradually came back to her senses.She explained briefly to Green, and at the same time twisted the hem of the blood-stained skirt casually, picked up the towels and tubs scattered on the ground, and quickly ran to the grocery room.

When she came back here with a few clean towels and a tub filled with water, she found that Green had cleaned up the corridor.

Jessie thanked Green repeatedly with embarrassment, and just as she put down the basin to chat with him, she saw Slade open the door again.

Slade noticed Green standing aside at first sight, but didn't say anything, just stuffed the blood-stained towels and clothes to Jessie, and kicked the same blood-stained sheets and quilts out the door in disgust. go.

Those bed sheets and quilts had been torn into shreds and messy rags by some brutal force, and they were stained with a lot of blood, which looked very scary.

Jessie looked at the rags on the ground in shock, and just about to ask, she heard Slade say in a deep voice:

"What happened?"

Seeing Slade frowning slightly and looking straight at his dirty petticoat, Jessier immediately reacted.She knew that Slade was only worried about herself, so she shook her head lightly and said "nothing" in a low voice, and then found that the other party seemed a little tired.

As the strongest person in Gloskland, Slade almost never showed fatigue in front of others.This abnormal behavior made Jessile immediately alert.

Seeing that Slade took a step back and was about to close the door again, she hurriedly petitioned the other party: "Master Slade, I want to help too!"

Slade paused slightly when he closed the door, and looked at the girl standing in front of him.Seeing that although her face was full of sadness, her eyes were extremely firm, which made Slade feel relieved.

But she didn't agree to Jasil's request because of this, she just smiled softly and comforted softly:
"Jesil, thank you for your hard work. Just wait a little longer, it should be healed soon."

Under the girl's disappointed and aggrieved gaze, the door slowly closed again.

Green walked to Jessier's side silently, and just about to say something to comfort her, she heard her light voice:
"Grandpa Green... If I can follow Lord Slade to experience in foreign lands like Barton did, will I know more things?"

Green didn't answer right away.He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some determination hidden in the girl's light words, which made him answer cautiously after some thinking:
"In theory, it should be like this. Lord Slade makes a very clear distinction between 'combatants' and 'non-combatants', which also prevents her from telling you too much about things outside the barrier—because in her It seems that as a 'non-combatant' you shouldn't know too much..."

When he said this, Jessir, who had been thinking silently with his head down, suddenly looked up at Green.This girl who is usually willful and free and easy, now with a stubborn expression, said resolutely:

"Then I want to be a combatant too! I won't lose to Barton!"

Wasn't it urgent to save the manuscript, so I thought about dividing this big chapter into two chapters,

But this impression is too bad, so I gave up...%
Manuscript, my manuscript! !
