The Defeated Dragon

“Liszt. ”

Frank said his name: "Baron of Flower Town, Lord Count's third child, Sherry, you must have had an impression that you used to play behind him when you were little. ”

“Brother Lister, of course I remember.” Shelly blinked and a slightly naive handsome face appeared in her hazy head.

Ever since I was little, Lester has been very handsome.

However, she has left Coral Island and spent several years studying at Cape Horn College.

Because of the inconvenience of the boat, even the New Year's Eve has not returned home, the impression of Lester has diminished. At that time, she was not old enough to admire the opposite sex, and naturally she would not have a clear memory of a small partner.

“What do you think of Lester?” Frank asks.

Shirley shook her head: "Dad, I only met Brother Lister, who was 12 years old when he was just a child, and now that he's grown up, I have no idea what he's become. ”

“Also, we should find an opportunity for you to meet. ”

Frank's wife asked, "It seems that Lester is not valued by the Count, and his enclosure has gone to the most remote flower town. ”

“It is true that Lester is not valued by the Count, who, relying on his keen intentions to create a coral island, hopes that his children will be able to move forward.” Frank said, "But in any case, he is the blood of the Tulip family, and adults are separated, which is not the treatment that ordinary aristocratic sons can enjoy. ”

“The Count is only a mercy of adults, he is a devoted father and even Levera has been sealed by the Baron. ”

Wife said enviously.

Levera is very influential among the noble ladies of Coral Island, and the hereditary Duchess, is rare throughout the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

“The Count's lack of attention to Lester is due to Lester's poor talent and weak personality. But from my recent contacts, Lester has been stripped of his bones, peacefully and with dignity, he's maturing. The Count even went to Flower Town to celebrate the Festival, which is a sign. ”

“What signs? ”

“What are the other signs that the son regains the trust of his father and that the Count is still growing up, he certainly hopes to join his sons in obtaining more Knight glory. ”

“Really, but he didn't go to war, and Reeves went to war. ”

“Sooner or later, he kept the blood of the Tulip family and the Yam family.” Frank thinks his wife, with a small country aristocrat narrow, says directly to his daughter, "Shelly, Lester has prepared his own cavalier squad, who bought a shipment of equipment from Tulip Chamberlain for the armed cavalier squad. ”

No praise, no action convincing.

Naturally, a country lord with a team of knights is unusual.

Shirley's eyes shine: "Dad, Mom, when can I see Brother Lister, I think I have my own judging eyes? ”

“Our sherry is smart, beautiful and of course has its own eyes, and Daddy will soon be looking for opportunities for you. ”

……

Footsteps are shaky.

Tired and hungry.

Ivan wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at his peers with numb eyes. The clothes are dirty and stinky, the hair is cluttered, and the dust on your face does not cover the pale and waxy yellow. The team could not distinguish between men, women and children, and even the crying of babies was weak.

“Come on, if you don't want to get whipped, keep up with the team!” The hand-whipped clerk shouted.

From time to time, the whip is thrown into the air, making a thunderous crisp sound.

Ivan was shocked, slightly dizzy in the head, suddenly awake, and his heavy footsteps had to be accelerated by a few points. Just now, his companion was whipped by a clerk, his clothes were smothered and his tears were straightened out.

“Thunder! ”

Another whip.

Ivan lowered his head, bit his teeth off, and made himself faster. He was afraid of whips, and while on the boat, he slept in a corner with his companions from the same town, and was whipped alive by his first mate on the boat. The cry before he died had made him have nightmares for many nights.

In the dream is a nightmare.

In reality, it's also a nightmare.

He misses the hard work of cultivating the island, although he won't be able to eat enough, and some knights beat up slaves with whips who can't pay taxes. But most of the time, he was free to walk around and chat with others. Even go to town and take a look at the beautiful owner's wife in the bakery.

But one day, everything changed.

He heard the knights shouting and shouting and killing, then a group of blood-stained knights came to his village to drive them away. Some people don't want to go and get killed; those who don't want to be killed can only go with them. It was this day that he left his homeland and began to have turbulent nightmares.

He was taken to a market where all the serfs he sold were his kind.

Locked in a cage, eating a little bit of dark bread, nasty. Slaves are constantly being taken away and new slaves are being held in.

And then he was taken away.

Follow a group of strangers aboard the ship, who do not understand the people on board and dare not speak to others. Unexpectedly, there was a man on the boat who knew himself, and they were from a small town.

“Sapphire!” Peers tell him.

He instantly thought of the legend of "Barbarians”, that every year there are savages at sea who come to the Kingdom of the Eagle to burn and loot, all from the Grand Duchy of Sapphires at sea.

“The ship is sapphire, we are sold to barbarians! Mercenaries are after us. They're worse than rats!” My companions resent me, “I swear! One day, I'm gonna come back and find these mercenaries and kill them all! ”

Ivan didn't answer.

He was frightened by the words of his companions.

Ever since he was a child, he hasn't even killed a chicken - because there are no chickens in the house - only nobles have ever killed serfs, and serfs don't dare to kill.

Unfortunately, his companion was whipped to death shortly after taking an oath.

Ivan, who had no one to talk to, continued to have nightmares he could not wake up from. He had never been on a boat and almost fainted. A few days later, today, he finally set foot on land and came to a completely strange place. He doesn't understand a word people say here.

I don't know where I'm going to be driven.

He's confused about tomorrow, doesn't know what he's sticking to, doesn't even know what he's sticking to. It's just that as the whip is driven away, you go wherever you go, you never want to die, and you don't know what fun life has. He didn't even know how many times he was numb.

When I heard the clerk waving the whip again, I shouted something.

He couldn't understand, but the team slowly stopped, others stopped, and he stopped, finally allowing his legs to rest for a moment.

Seeing others start to sit down.

He sat down again.

No one spoke, everyone on board was forbidden to communicate, and is now accustomed to silence. He raised his head and his gaze fell on a female serf not far in front of him, who was preparing the nursing child, lifting his broken clothes, revealing his dry chest and shoving it into the baby's mouth.

Babies suck hard and don't know if they can breathe a little milk.

If Ivan had swallowed, greedily peeked at a woman's breasts before, he was still young and had never touched a woman's hand, let alone that drummed chest.

But right now, his breasts are unattractive, and he doesn't have the slightest idea —— his hungry bowels are stirring together.

The sun moves to the top of your head, it's noon.
