Be a matchmaker in an otome game

Chapter 155 Mrs. Sally
What happened back then was undoubtedly a nightmare for Ulysses. His kidnapping back then was a long-planned conspiracy.

Compared with most other nobles, Ulysses' family was not harsh on the servants, and it could even be said to be quite tolerant and gentle. Ulysses had a personal maid who took care of him when he was a child. A very good girl, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, and she can't remember her appearance, but Ulysses remembered her smile, which was a bit simple and honest, with dimples on both sides of her mouth, which made people look at her. Just happy, and Ulysses liked her very much.

Because of this, she is responsible for the care of five-year-old Ulysses.

The only bad thing is, she has a very, very bad boyfriend.

How bad is it? I owed a huge amount of debt in the gambling house, and was even forced to die.

When death is imminent, his words may not be good, and he may be deluded by ghosts.

He cried bitterly and said that he could get the money, but it would only take a little time, but of course, such words were not convincing. Just before the knife fell, he yelled and described his plan-let his girlfriend Take Ulysses out alone and kidnap Ulysses to blackmail the Grand Duchess.

Seeking wealth and insurance, this plan sounds very rough at first glance, but the benefits it will bring after it is completed are extremely huge. In this way, someone was moved and began to plan and deploy seriously.

The innocent maid was coaxed by her boyfriend and took Ulysses out alone. In the end, both of them were kidnapped, and the maid was directly killed. Ulysses was taken overnight to hide in a small village far away from the royal city stand up.

Fortunately, Ulysses was not treated cruelly. Perhaps it was because of the common people's instinctive fear of the nobles and the importance they attached to this cash cow. eat.

This group also sent a blackmail letter to the Grand Duchess. They did it very carefully. Even the magician couldn't use magic to trace their tracks, so they could only use the most primitive method of finding a needle in a haystack.

These people who live on the tip of a knife sometimes know more about magic than magicians. When the magician raises his hand and chants the first syllable, they can guess what kind of magic the magician will use, and thus make a correspond.

That's why they dared to ask the Grand Duchess for money unscrupulously, without any worry that they would be tracked down, and they didn't do it once or twice.

In the blackmail letter, they asked the Grand Duchess to prepare four ransoms and send them to the four directions of southeast, northwest, respectively. This was obviously to disperse the fighting power of the nobles, so that they did not know which direction was correct.

They even sent the finger of the maid they killed to the letter, warning the Grand Duchess that if she didn't follow what they said, Ulysses' finger would be sent next.

Faced with such a threat, the Grand Duchess had no choice but to prepare four ransoms and send them in four directions as said.

Three of the directions stopped the delivery after a large circle. The secretly following knights quickly controlled the last person who received the ransom, and then interrogated them and found that they were just entrusted to receive something, but in fact they didn't know the ransom at all. What is it.

Then there is no doubt that the ransom in the last direction should be correct, but the ransom in the last direction suddenly disappeared during the delivery.

The members of the Knights who had been hiding in the dark had to appear in the open to search for evidence. Sally was one of them. She searched for countless possibilities, but found that it was impossible to change the box silently. Without a trace, even with magic, it will leave traces.

Until a moment, a piece of bird feathers quietly fell beside her, which was a normal thing, but at that moment she looked up at the sky in a strange way.

Then, she saw an eagle, holding a suitcase in its talons, flying to another place.

She found the ransom, and it turned out that they couldn't find it because the ransom didn't appear on the ground at all, but flew into the air.

The eagle flew too high, beyond Sally's attack range, and was about to fly out of her sight, so there was no time left for her to hesitate and think, so she could only leave a message for her teammates and chase after her.

Chasing a bird is not an easy task. After all, birds can cross terrain and go to areas that humans cannot reach. Even though Sally is already a very good knight, she still has to spend a lot of effort to track this bird .

She kept chasing the bird and saw it fly into a village and then land slowly.

Sally realized that this might be the destination of her pursuit, so she tried to cover up as much as possible and observed the whole village from a distance from the village, while waiting for the arrival of her teammates.

But she still carelessly underestimated the enemy. This village is the opponent's base camp. Of course, she will be extra cautious about her own base camp, and the opponent has a beast trainer. Domesticated animals are very understanding. He noticed that something was wrong with the behavior of the eagle, and then he became vigilant.

In short, Sally was found to be stalking, but the other party didn't know her exact location. The other party immediately decided not to save Ulysses' life, and to transfer it immediately. After all, the money has already been obtained, and the hostage is useless. .

The other party was also ruthless. They used Ulysses as a means of delaying time, and dropped the four or five-year-old child on the edge of the cliff. He was on the verge of falling, and felt that the wind could blow the rope off. It was midnight at that time, and the surrounding area And the continuous howling of wolves.

It was impossible for Sally to hide any longer. Her purpose of coming here was to save Ulysses.

But the moment she showed up, she was attacked.

Although the beast tamer did not tame the monsters, he also tamed many beasts. Even if he was an excellent knight, it was still too much effort to resist the attacks of the beasts while saving people.

At that time, Sally not only had to carry an oil bottle, but also had to face the attacks of dozens of people and ferocious beasts. The other party was murderous, and every move was to kill her and Ulysses. purpose of going.

Sally is indeed an excellent knight trained by the Knights. She protects Ulysses by herself and kills all of them. Even with the advantage of magicians over commoners, it is still an extremely difficult battle Much hard work.

The last scene engraved in Ulysses' mind was that Sally hugged him and walked forward step by step against the darkness.

"It's okay," she said with a smile, "I will definitely take you out."

Ulysses remembered that he smelled a strong smell of blood. At that time, he didn't understand it. He only knew that he was saved by an adult he knew, so he stayed in Sally's arms with peace of mind.

For some reason, Sally's voice became lower and lower, and her steps became more and more staggered.

"Will you talk to me?"

"Do you remember Nancy? My daughter, about your age."

"She seems to be very interested in the Knights, and she always looks at her father in a daze when he is practicing."

"But I already have a child who regards the Knights as his life's goal."

"If possible, I hope Nancy can be an ordinary noble girl."

"Knights... It's still too hard."

"And, maybe you will die."
