Chaos Crown

Chapter 125, Shocking News

PS: Thank you for the leader of the book friend "Yue Fei Subjadeites", I wish the boss will live forever, be arbitrary, and never die!
On the day of Midwinter Festival, Aaron's family was still preparing for the festival.

It is rare for Aaron to cook by himself. He got up early in the morning to prepare the ingredients. Today he personally cooked three dishes, namely Russian-style grilled pork ribs, Russian-style borscht and Russian-style apple stewed chicken.

Aaron seldom cooks himself, mainly because there is no need for it. If there were occasional situations where he had to practice his hands to prevent raw hands, then after becoming the young lady's apprentice, this problem no longer exists.

So this happened in the family, where Mellie, Eleanor and Aaron were always busy in the kitchen, and Uncle Lothair helped the three of them from time to time.

As for Missy?She has always sat on the sofa or nestled in her room waiting for food.

In Charlotte's world, there is no concept of her doing housework and cooking by herself, she is a warlock.

This also shows the difference between Charlotte and Eleanor.

Miss Pastor is very good at taking care of people. As long as the house is entrusted to her, she can easily take care of everything in order. Although her cooking and housekeeping standards are not top-notch, each item is above the average level.

Miss Warlock is different, she is a girl who needs to be taken care of very much, and she is also used to the life of being taken care of by others. For her, many things are left to servants, younger brothers, and girlfriends.

There is a fragrance in the kitchen, an apron is tied around the waist, Eleanor is wearing an ordinary house robe and flesh-colored pantyhose with cotton mop, and wearing a silk scarf is squatting to check the oven. He couldn't help complaining to Aaron: "Aaron, this thing is really difficult to make."

"Indeed, so I never planned to make this." Aaron couldn't help laughing when he saw the big turkey in the oven.

The big turkey was brought by Charlotte.

The eldest lady probably heard from somewhere that the midwinter festival must have a turkey dinner, so she bought a big turkey. Anyway, her omnipotent brother can cook it.

But Aaron, Eleanor and Aunt Mellie had a hard time thinking about how to cook this big turkey.

Because the turkey looks big, beautiful and ceremonial, but it has the most fatal problem.

Unappetizing.

Whether it is dark meat or white meat, the fat content of turkey is very low, the meat fiber is thick, it has no taste, it is dry and woody, and it needs a lot of seasoning to taste.

If the lack of taste can be overcome by seasoning, then the second big problem with turkey comes—it is too big.

How big is the turkey? If you are interested, you can check it yourself. Anyway, it is more than three times bigger than a normal chicken.

This leads to a problem. The turkey is often dry and burnt on the outside, and the inside is not cooked through.

So many people say, "Why don't Chinese people like to eat turkey, which is so popular in the West?"

This is actually a false proposition, because Westerners don't like to eat turkey either.

The big turkeys placed on the table during various festivals are not so much food as decorations, just like Chinese people eat moon cakes, and eating a little bit only on special occasions during certain festivals represents respect for tradition.

"Or can we divide this end into several pieces and roast them separately?" Eleanor was very troubled.

"No, my sister will be angry if this happens. Of course, such a big-headed chicken would look better roasted whole." Aaron laughed.

The pastor couldn't help but gave Aaron a supercilious look, feeling aggrieved in her heart.

That woman ruined a good midwinter holiday!

During this period of time, Eleanor and Charlotte fought round after round at Aaron's house, but they couldn't tell the winner, and the two sides gradually reached a tacit understanding.

Eleanor is in charge of matters that usually involve housework and the belief in the Silver Virgin.

Charlotte takes the lead in matters involving magic research and kingdom affairs.

The two sides try not to meet or speak except for meal time, and only maintain the minimum necessary communication.

As for the night...

Charlotte originally planned to take advantage of this holiday to "do" Aaron, so she was very active at night, and Eleanor was trapped in her vows and had to wait until after the New Year, so she tried her best to disrupt the situation.

In the end, Aaron simply announced that he would sleep alone, and you all should go back to your own room.

As for the result of the quarrel that day, Aaron also faintly noticed it. For example, since that day, Eleanor has taken the initiative a lot. Miss Pastor no longer only enjoys Aaron's initiative, but sometimes expresses her own intentions.

Charlotte clamored to have a room only for herself in Aaron's house, but Aaron refused of course.

With the temperament of the eldest lady, if she really lives in, her room and her bed will be a decoration, just like a big turkey in the oven, just a decoration!
As for the two sides fighting each other regardless of the outcome, this is also Aaron's strategy.

Earlier, his relationship with Eleanor and Charlotte was not very stable. At this time, he should try to avoid meeting the two parties, otherwise he would not be able to control the scene, and the other would be to irritate them and the relationship would break down. possible.

It's different now. Now that their relationship with Aaron has been deeply bound, it is difficult for them to think of leaving him.

Everything is in my plan!

Aaron thought happily.

After a while, the turkey was finally done, although it was still not tasty.

The midwinter dinner was going on smoothly, and Aaron, on behalf of the owner of Salian House, sent a congratulatory message to everyone, wishing everyone a happy Midwinter Festival and a happy family.

In the end, few people moved the turkey, and the grilled pork chops and apple grilled chicken next to it were all eaten.

From this point, we can also see the difference between the eldest lady and the pastor. If Eleanor sees a dish that everyone likes to eat, she will only take a bite to taste the taste, and never compete with others, while Charlotte doesn’t care. There are so many, the eldest lady saw that the apple grilled chicken was delicious, so she broke a chicken leg and a chicken wing to eat it.

After dinner, a few people were planning to drink a glass of wine to celebrate when there was a knock on the door.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

"Open the door!" The voice outside the door was a middle-aged male voice, he sounded anxious: "Quickly open the door, we have important matters to find His Excellency Aaron-Salian!"

???

Everyone in the room showed puzzled expressions, on Midwinter's day?In a hurry?directly to the door?
Did you make a mistake? !
The cousin Robert who was closest to the door was immediately angry. He strode to the door and was about to start cursing.

Finally, he opened the door and took a look. Robert's whole body was cold, and he sat down on the ground.

"Ya, yah, yah... Aaron, Emperor, Queen's Blade!"

Queen's Blade?

This organization left by the previous king is notorious, and everyone turns pale when they hear it.

The faces of the family changed drastically, especially Aaron, who almost wanted to say: "Sir, you made a mistake, Ivan lives next door!"

Aaron is an inner court knight, appointed by the princess herself, even the Queen's Blade has no right to deal with him privately.

But the other party named them all.

Against everyone's worried eyes, Lord Viscount walked to the door and opened it: "What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency Salian, something serious has happened!" The one who opened the door was Queen's Blade captain Hendry, who was also an acquaintance of Aaron, he was relieved to see Aaron come out, and said quickly: "Your Highness requests you to enter the palace immediately! "

"Entering the palace? Now?"

"Yes, right now, we have prepared the carriage." Queen's Blade said anxiously.

"...Okay, I see. Give me a few minutes to change." Seeing that Hendry was indeed anxious, Aaron nodded slowly.

"I'll go with you!" The eldest lady immediately said, she knew her best friend too well: "Alice must be in a hurry, brother, I will go too."

"Okay." Aaron nodded. With Charlotte here, he felt more at ease.

"I'll go with you too!" Miss Priest also untied the tie of her apron.

Aaron wanted to say why are you following, but seeing Eleanor's resolute expression, he could only nod.

Not much to say, the three of them quickly changed into formal clothes, and the two women who were afraid of the cold also put on heavy winter coats and boots, and they entered the palace in the carriage of Queen's Blade in the snowy night of Midwinter Festival .

Getting off the carriage and passing through heavy guards, the whole palace not only did not become festive due to the festive atmosphere, but even more deserted.

At this time, the princess regent was already waiting. When she saw Charlotte coming out with Aaron, she frowned, thinking that this best friend of hers was really...

"Your Highness? What's the matter?" Aaron bowed.

Alice Searle didn't say much, she cast a look at Queen's Blade.

The man with scars all over his body and bleeding in many places stepped out of the side hall with the support of the Queen's Blade. When he saw Aaron, he burst into tears and knelt down in front of Alice Searle: "Your Highness! Aaron Len!"

Who is this person?

Aaron was stunned. He didn't understand, so he could only look suspiciously at the princess regent.

Alice Searle motioned for Queen's Blade to lift his face up.

It was a weather-beaten face mixed with many scars. Aaron stared at it for a while, and finally found the afterimage of the past in his memory.

"Cousin?"

As soon as this remark came out, the man finally couldn't help crying.

"Aaron, it's over, it's over!"

"Our family is all over!"

Hearing this, Aaron frowned instantly.

This man was none other than Aaron's cousin, Maximian who had been stripped of his Salian surname.

…………

Intermittently, Maximian suppressed his grief and told Aaron all about the incident.

Fortunately for Maximian, he happened to be in the kitchen when the killers came in, and no one noticed him. He planned to join the battle, but after seeing the strength of the killers, Maximian knew that he had to escape.

He turned out from the kitchen window of the longhouse, and saw with his own eyes that several black-robed men had already started massacring their place of exile, and those black-robed men were all elite-level professionals, well-equipped, exiled clansmen Even if they have some strength, they can only be killed due to the serious lack of well-equipped weapons.

Fortunately, as a monk, Maximian is very powerful in combat and does not need any good weapons and equipment. He fought two rounds with the black-robed man, and seized a chance when they were lax and fled. The two sides chased for several times. After an hour, the pursuers gave up on him until he fled to the vicinity of the monk monastery in Guangze.

The monastery did not dare to neglect, the master monk immediately reported the matter to the Duke of Kayneth-Ires, and the Duke of Kayneth responded quickly, and he immediately sent someone to report the news that the seriously injured Maximian and the Salians had been exterminated Send it to Susar, and hand it over to Alice Searle together with her letter of apology.

After listening to his cousin's description, Aaron fell silent. He lowered his head and clenched his fist with his right hand under his nose. In the end, Salian's expression changed and his eyes flickered.

"Aaron?" Maximian realized that he didn't recognize his cousin.

"Cousin, let me call you cousin. I know about it." Aaron hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "This is a tragedy. I feel very sad that this happened. Don't worry, I will investigate and find out what happened, catch the mastermind behind the scenes and make them pay in blood."

Miss Pastor looked at Aaron worriedly, and Eleanor's heart was full of sadness. She clenched her little hand in the leather glove and clenched her teeth.

The Salian family has worshiped the Silver Virgin for generations!They were wrong, but they didn't deserve this ending!

After all, who did it?
I will incarnate as the dark moon of my lord, and bring down the most terrible divine punishment on them!

Charlotte walked up to Alice Searle, and the eldest lady smiled coquettishly, and said secretly: "Alice, I didn't expect that, I'm going to my brother's house to celebrate Midwinter and New Year~"

"Charlotte!" The Queen Regent patted Charlotte reproachfully, indicating why you are talking about this?
"Are you the only one who escaped?" Aaron then asked.

"The situation is urgent. I only had time to rescue Anna, our cousin." Maximian shook his head in pain: "I'm sorry, Aaron, I didn't protect her well. She was seriously injured and is still in a coma."

Anna Salian (surname has been deprived), the cousin of Maximian and Aaron, is only 13 years old this year, short in stature, and grew up studying medicine. She survived but was seriously injured and is still in a coma.

"It's good to be alive." Aaron interrupted Maximian: "Cousin, take a good rest first, and then leave the matter to me."

"Your Highness, can I apply for medical parole for them under such circumstances? After encountering this kind of thing, is their exile order still valid?" Aaron immediately asked Alice Searle two questions .

"I can allow them to seek medical treatment in Susar. As for the exile order... things are like this, and it doesn't make sense whether they continue to be exiled." Alice Searle looked at Aaron, and the princess's scarlet eyes were faintly filled with blood. With a different meaning.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Aaron then asked.

"That's not the point, the point is, what are you going to do? Aaron Salian?" Alice Searle glanced at the depressed Maximian again, and sighed softly: "The Kingdom didn't do this. Well, we Obesyr owe you an apology."

"In this case, let Your Highness make this bloody case public." Aaron thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go to Guangze to investigate the scene, and Maximian and Anna will trouble Your Highness to send someone to protect them. Although they don't If the surname is Salian again, His Highness also asks them to be given the status of Susar citizens."

"Okay." Alice Searle thought for a while, then nodded: "Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

"No need." Aaron shook his head: "I..."

"I'll go with you!" The sound of Charlotte's boots thumping came quickly, and the eldest lady hugged Aaron's arm directly: "My brother's relatives are my relatives, and I want to go with my brother to support his family." Family revenge!"

"Xia Lu!" Alice Searle was waiting to say more, but Aaron had already nodded: "Okay then, sister will go with me this time."

"Eleanor, you just stay and take care of Maximian and Anna, Su Lun, we can't lose more compatriots." Aaron continued to order.

Eleanor instinctively wanted to be with Aaron, but after hearing what Aaron said, she could only nod her head. As Su Lun's pastor, she also had an obligation to take care of Su Lun's believers.

And... She was already a little bit in love with Aaron, and she just took this opportunity to spend the time before the new year and complete her vow to Goddess Su Lun.

"Then, Your Highness, I'll go back now and get ready for departure tomorrow morning." Aaron then said goodbye to Alice Sale: "Your loyal servant will leave now."

"Be careful all the way, Aaron." Alice Searle took the initiative to extend her hand and let Aaron kiss on the back of her hand: "Also, you and Charlotte don't have enough combinations, you may need an excellent melee professional help."

"Yes, Your Highness, I already have someone to choose."
