Prius has been locked up here for five days.
Although it is not a prison cell, the remodeled house is similar to the prison cell. The original wooden doors were replaced with wooden railings, and all the furniture in the house was removed, leaving only a few blankets. The only good thing is that the room is still clean, neither wind nor rain.
In addition to him, there are four other people in the prison. Three of them came from the Lane family, one belonged to the Benlang family, and he was a knight entrusted by the Earl of Elk.
"Damn it, how long does he want to keep us locked up!" shouted the oldest knight in the Lane family. "The wheat fields in the territory haven't been sown yet! My mother-in-law doesn't know how to do these things."
"Your territory?" The young knight from Ben Lang's family sneered, "Do you think His Royal Highness will keep the knight's collar and let you go back and gather horses, weapons and armor, and then wait for the opportunity to take revenge? Seriously, he didn't take you all These people have been sent to the gallows, which is already merciful."
"What did you say!?" The old knight stared at him.
"Just tell the truth," the young knight said nonchalantly, "the duke is the number one criminal who plots and commits a rebellion. If he doesn't clean up his elite knights, he will leave it to his son? As for us, it is naturally due to the duke's intimidation. , had to go to the battlefield."
"I think you're asking for your own death!" He walked over and lifted the young man up, clenching his fist with his right hand, and just as he was about to beat him down, a hand stretched out from behind and grabbed him firmly.
"Stop it, Haron. Do you want to attract a guard?" A handsome knight pressed his fist down, "He's right, we are knights under the Duke's command, and we will be punished severely when we are convicted. Since At this point, just wait for the result quietly. Look at the people of the Elk family, and look at your current appearance. What about your demeanor as a noble?"
Prius recognized him, the star knight of Longsong Fortress, Philen Sylt, nicknamed Dawn Morning Light, who had fascinated many ladies from noble families. Fortunately for him, he ended up marrying a commoner woman, which was a big uproar at the time. Seeing that the other party mentioned himself, Prius couldn't keep silent any longer. He opened his mouth to the three arguing: "I don't know if the territory can be left, but at least His Royal Highness will not kill you."
"Oh? Why?"
"Killing at the fortress can at least have a deterrent effect. It took all your strength to get you here. Who will you kill for? His subjects?" "
Without rushing in to burn, kill and loot, the townspeople would naturally not have extreme hatred. Therefore, for the prince, it is better to kill the townspeople than to kill the nobles of the fortress. If they did not kill in the fortress, their lives would be saved.
Fei Lin thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense. May I ask what your name is... "
"Prius Dissa."
"Thank you for your consolation, Ser Dissa." Ferrin cast a thankful look and pulled Haron back to the corner.
The young man also sat down, leaning against the wall and humming.
He's really not afraid, Prius thought, and his composure is just an illusion.
Prius knew in his heart that he was really not a knight. He did not inherit his father's bravery, nor his mother's wisdom. He prefers to take care of his one-third of an acre of land rather than wielding a sword. Raising chickens and ducks, fishing in the pond or something. Wearing armor and holding a sword to fight for Earl Elk is really helpless, let alone killing people, he doesn't even like to participate in hunting. Therefore, when charging, Prius rushed behind as much as possible, but unexpectedly saved his life.
Wait... Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little strange. As a star knight under the Duke, why did Ferrin Sylt also survive? Shouldn't he be in the first place
"His Royal Highness wants to see you," the guard suddenly shouted at the door, "Senny Dali, come out first."
The young knight jumped up, waved to everyone, and walked out of the cell.
"Hey, what about us!"
Haron chased to the door, only to be forced back by the stabbing spears in the hands of the guards. After locking the door, the other party said coldly, "Don't worry, it will be your turn."
Knowing that the trial was imminent, Prius became more and more nervous. Damn, I always look forward to this day when there is no result, and now the result is coming, I am afraid again. he thought angrily. But his body was still shaking uncontrollably, and he wanted to look up at the door every few breaths, just like when he was facing the birth of a child for the first time, hope and panic coexisted.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, about two quarters of an hour later, the guard in charge of escorting came again, "Prius Disa, it's your turn.
He stood up in a panic, but his feet accidentally tripped on the blanket rolled up on the ground. Fortunately, Filmin was quick-witted and stepped forward to support him.
"Thank… thank you." He felt his throat dry.
"Hands up." The other party's voice was gentle and powerful, which relieved Prius' nervousness a lot.
He nodded to Filin and followed the guard out of the cell.
Leading the way was a young man, about seventeen years old, in dark brown leather armor and boots, holding a stab-gun in both hands.
"Don't tie my hands up?" Prius asked.
"You have been searched before you are locked in. Without weapons, what can you do."
"Where are you taking me?"
"His Royal Highness's castle."
"What about the man from before? The knight named Seni, how is he?"
The other shrugged and didn't answer.
Well, maybe he doesn't know, or maybe he doesn't want to tell himself. Prius closed his mouth.
The escort felt very strange to himself, dressed and looked like an ordinary civilian, but he didn't have the slightest fear when he spoke to the knights, and even the most basic honorifics were useless. He didn't seem to know that in normal times, these people could easily decide his life and death.
There are also the eyes of the other party. Prius sees more civilians who are running for survival. They are dull and indifferent, like a walking corpse without a soul, but in the eyes of this little man, he sees pride and pride, he is obviously a civilian , but has the air of a knight full of honor. This extreme sense of incongruity confuses Prius.
What kind of environment can create such a person
He looked around, and although he had never been to Border Town before, he still heard something about this barren and desolate place. However, the vitality of the town now is very different from the frontier outpost he imagined. People on the street come and go, the pace is fast, and it seems that there are endless things to do. From time to time, someone would say hello to the little man who was escorting him. Everyone's faces were rosy and full of energy, and it didn't look like they had just experienced the ordeal of the Demon Moon.
When approaching the castle area, he saw an open space where more than a hundred people gathered. The group seemed to be building houses, and according to the scale, there were more than one building. The materials of the house are piled up on the side, all fired bricks. Generally speaking, only nobles would choose this more expensive material, but if you want to say that it was built for nobles, the area of the house is too small. The houses that have been built in front of the open space are almost only a little bigger than their own living room. In addition, those houses are too similar, almost as if they were printed from a mold, which noble would like such a house
With all kinds of questions, Prius stepped into the lord's castle. (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come and vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Please come.)
