Heart of the Castle

Chapter 25 Part 5 The Angel with Broken Wings
The Earl of Ansair had been a guest at Sir Mirefice's manor, and more than once, of course he had seen the Sir's two children.Unlike the old knight who was born as a villain, the young master Mirefis has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality, and he is very talented as a knight. He has successfully comprehended the seeds of fighting spirit at a young age, and has become a famous young knight in the Knights Club of Deke City.

The old jazz's daughter is even more beautiful. Although she was only 12 years old at the time, she has already attracted many prodigal sons of middle and small nobles.However, Sir Mirefis cherished his daughter very much, and rejected all the noble children with bad reputation very politely. This caused an uproar at the time. Must not be ideal.

"It's such a tragic ending." Earl Ansair sighed and walked out of the shed. Although the matter has not yet been fully revealed, the sheriff, who is busy with everything, cannot continue to delay here.Captain Kane is not only the most powerful high-ranking knight under his command, but also capable of handling affairs well enough to be alone, so Earl Ansair entrusted him with the follow-up investigation of this matter, and he was ready to return to the city with peace of mind.

However, Captain Kane's efficiency far exceeded his expectations. Before the Earl got on his horse, he was stopped by a panting voice. "My lord, Ser Mirefis...the sergeant's daughter has been found! She is alive!"

Sir Mirefis' daughter "was found" and "is still alive", these two points were not beyond the Earl of Ansair's expectations, but it was incredible that she was found alive.Earl Ansair hurriedly turned around, "Where is she? Take me to see her right away."

The rangers under Captain Kane did find Sir Mirefis' daughter, but the young woman is very unstable now, and she is still holding a dagger in her hand, so none of the rangers dared to go forward, so they had to take She surrounded.

It's not that these elite rangers are afraid of the dagger, but that they are afraid of accidentally injuring the young woman in the scramble.

The young woman's blond hair was already in a mess, and there were two vigilant and guarded eyes underneath. Facing the siege of several heavily armed rangers, her expression seemed a little nervous, but she was not willing to drop the dagger.Due to the bad background of Sir Mirefis, there are no noble family rules in his manor, so although his daughter has not undergone strict combat training, the posture of holding a dagger to guard is by no means unfamiliar.

So until Earl Ansair and Captain Kane rushed over one after the other, the confrontation continued.

"Michelle, put down the dagger immediately, don't hurt yourself!"

Hearing some familiar voices, the young woman's body trembled suddenly, and then she turned her head. "Count... my lord... is that you?" Her voice was full of surprise and disbelief, and the dagger slid to the ground with a crisp sound.

"It's me." Earl Ansair stepped forward quickly, supported the crumbling young woman, and then patted her on the shoulder in relief. "It's okay, it's okay..."

The young woman sobbed a few times, and then burst into tears, "The black knight, murdered... Father, my father and his family are all dead, they are all..." She cried, her voice was mournful, and the Rangers They all lowered their heads involuntarily, and Captain Kane's eyes were reddened, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the long sword were exposed.

"Poor child, how did you come here these days?" After Michelle's mood stabilized a little, Earl Ansair asked the doubts in his heart.This is the most incredible thing in the tragedy of the manor. Although Michelle is not as weak as other noble ladies, if she can escape from the hands of those terrifying black-armored death knights, and then go to the forest in early winter Surviving independently for three days in the middle of the night was obviously beyond the earl's imagination.

"...Father talked to the leader for a few words, and then he was cut down to the ground with a sudden sword, and then those guys rushed in, killing anyone they saw, and Sister Gesang was also killed..." recalled What happened that day, Michelle's body was still trembling slightly, with a frightened expression on her face, "Fortunately, Xiaorui is very strong, he killed two guys who rushed in, and then ran out with me..."

"Xiao Rui?" Earl Ansair repeated the unfamiliar name suspiciously, and at the same time remembered the two high-ranking death knights in the morgue, "Who is Xiao Rui?"

"Oh, by the way, Xiaorui." When this name was mentioned, the fear on Michelle's face disappeared a lot, and her voice didn't tremble so much. "His name is Rist, Robinson Rist. The man I... fell in love with at first sight."

Earl Ansair patted his forehead, "Robinson Rist!" he said loudly.This name does have some impression on him. It seems that he heard it from someone not long ago. It seems that it has something to do with the young man named Li Wei. More importantly...

"Kane, have you heard of this name?"

"I've heard that he seems to be a good quality bard." Captain Kane said while recalling, "Some time ago, I once performed at the Thunderbolt Pig Inn and several other pubs in the city. According to the regulars of those pubs, That being said, the ratings are pretty high."

"An excellent bard?" Earl Ansair raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "If every bard can kill two high-ranking death knights neatly, then I will Scavenge every tavern in the kingdom, and let those who are good at playing the lute take your places."

This sentence made Captain Kane's face turn red, but before he could make an excuse, Michelle had already said it out loud, "My lord, Xiao Rui is indeed a good player at playing the piano, and he once told me about his identity, It is indeed a bard."

"That's really... a great poet with a sword." Earl Ansair shrugged and replied, "Michelle, where is Xiao Rui now?"

This sentence seemed to have aroused Michelle's new sadness. Her tears overflowed her eyes and her voice dropped. "In order to protect me, Xiao Rui fought against the black-armored knight who killed my father. The knight's sword skills were worse than Xiao Rui's, but the sword in his hand was too powerful. Xiao Rui fought him and hit him several times in a row. This time, if Xiaorui didn't use a bad sword, that guy would have died long ago. But Xiaorui was seriously injured after being hit by that guy, and escaped with me before he fell into a coma... That's right, my lord, Can you save Xiaorui? You must have a way to save Xiaorui, right?"

Hearing the girl begging like this, what else could Earl Ansair say? "I promise to try my best to save him, but you have to bring me to him first."

Earl Ansair followed Michelle to the back of the woods, followed by Captain Kane with half of the cavalry, and soon in a clearing in the forest, they saw Xiao Rui... or, in other words, descended into the world angel with broken wings.

Sitting at the foot of an old oak tree, Xiao Rui looks extremely handsome, it can be said that he has a feeling of "inhuman".His hair hangs over his shoulders, and it is as luxurious as platinum in the sun; his eyes are pure and bright violet like gems, looking straight ahead, or somewhere in front; many small animals and birds surround him Beside him, the scenery has an indescribable harmony that shakes people's minds.

Even Lord Ansair was overwhelmed by the sight and did not find his voice until a few minutes later. "Michelle, is he... is this Xiao Rui? It doesn't look like he was injured?"

"Yes, Lord Earl. He is my Xiaorui. Xiaorui can't walk or talk now. Please save him." Michelle said with a sad expression.

"If he has been like this, how did you come here without eating or drinking for the past three days?" Earl Ansair frowned.

"We ate the prey that Xiaorui brought." Michelle's answer puzzled the Earl, but the girl then resolved the question with her actions.

"Xiao Rui, I'm hungry!"

"Gaba!" The beautiful boy who was still gently stroking the little rabbit just now withdrew his fingers, and snapped the rabbit's neck.Immediately afterwards, his movements were so fast that he couldn't see clearly, and the small animals and birds around him died with the crisp "quack".

Earl Ansair felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart, because when killing these animals, the beautiful boy still maintained a pure and flawless smile, and that harmonious atmosphere did not dissipate in the slightest.Every little animal died in its original position, and even the most dexterous birds died so naturally and harmoniously that there was no chance of noticing danger.

This is the power of an angel with broken wings!
