Not a Witch

Like a well-prepared commodity, it lost its due market and buyers and fell into the hands.

After being hit one after another, my father was very disappointed. At this time, the southern border was in chaos, and there were no big families suitable for marriage.

For the next year or so, he drank to get rid of his sorrows and started looking for various lovers, and I have been living in the tower.

One night my father, drunk again, mumbled down the halls of the castle and came to my room while I sat in front of the mirror after a shower.

"Lorissa..." He looked at me and called out the unfamiliar name.

Lolisa is my mother and the eldest daughter of a big family. She is very beautiful. Because she was bewitched by her father when she was young, she married him.Unfortunately, this marriage was not blessed by the grandfather's family, and the Wenlani family did not reap any benefits.

Looking at my father's blurred eyes, I gradually realized that his lustful nature had committed another crime.

Wouldn't he even let his daughter go? Even though he thought so, he was not surprised, he must be such a person.

I poured tea on my father's face to wake him up, but for the first time he slapped me angrily, feeling that my authority was being resisted.

Afterwards, he regretted it very much, because if I was injured in the face, I would no longer be suitable for selling.

This stopped for a few days, and in the following days he began to find strict etiquette teachers to tame me, hoping that I would completely obey him, while he played with his mistress in the castle.

In fact, I am happy to see such a situation, because he will not come to me.

The development of things ushered in a shocking change, and our fief finally set off a rebellion.

In the chaos, I was taken to his bedroom, which is the deepest part of the castle and the safest place.

There is still the smell of perfume in the air, it is a seductive scent, I don't know how many of these fun things my father bought in the alchemy workshop.

I listened to the constant sounds of fighting and the roar of flames from the outside world, but my heart was very quiet, because I actually didn't have much hope for the future, and it seemed that it wouldn't be a bad thing if I died here.

The door finally opened.

A brutish burly man smashed it open with a huge axe, and rushed in.

He laughed loudly at his father, grabbed him like a chicken, and fell with the axe.

The blood splashed on my cheeks and dress, it was very warm, and the waves of fire and noise from the outside also rushed in.

I lost all my loved ones in that moment, but I was also free.

In the chaotic night, I was taken away from the castle by a few servants, and I hid in a corner of the city, only peeping at the outside world from a corner of the window.

Not long after nightfall, a group of red-clothed cavalry rushed into the city, and the seemingly powerful warrior seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

'for freedom. ' he seemed to be yelling so much that I couldn't understand it.

Is freedom so precious? I don't feel the same way.

There are all kinds of birds in the world, some are beautiful, some are ugly, some are kind, some are vicious, but not every bird yearns for freedom.

Freedom means uncertainty, it means risk, it means change, it means insecurity and danger.

I was a bird raised in a cage, and for me freedom was poison.

After losing my father, I felt like the sky suddenly opened up and everything became brighter because I was no longer under his control, but at the same time a great nothingness overwhelmed me because I was taught from a young age that all you need to do is marry a good husband , in order to cling to power, status, wealth, and everything.

I hate this future, but I have to choose this future, and now even this future is gone.

so contradictory.

Until that figure came into view.

He has the mighty power of an ancient hero, with one enemy against one hundred, the posture of swinging the sword hits the heart like a hammer, so powerful and powerful.

He has a chivalrous spirit like an old knight novel, and while not killing people, he achieved a perfect solution and calmed down the original bloody killing.

The figure in the flames was deeply imprinted in my mind like a soldering iron, and I couldn't forget it.

This is the first time I feel what admiration is, like moths to a flame.

That's right, I am a canary that grew up in a cage, and now I have finally found my own cage. His strength makes me feel at ease, and his character makes me willing to let go of my reserve.

I don't know if he will accept me.

But this is my destiny, my choice.

Chapter 140 Three A Promise

"Come on. Hey--"

Rough voices yelled in the fields, and then a huge waterwheel fan wheel was gradually hoisted and installed on the side of the small river.

The river in the mountains flows gently, and the water is brought up by the waterwheel in bursts, enters the side channel, and then slowly spreads to the distance.

Although it was early spring and the weather was still very cold, these people seemed to have inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm. Everyone watched the waterwheel slowly turning, and a kind of excitement and anticipation flowed in their hearts.

Halfway up the hill, Gewier was wearing a crow blue dress, sitting on a white chair, looking at the people below, with Iyena standing beside her, and two guards not far away.

"Is that the waterwheel that Master Unknown said?" It was the first time Geweier saw such a thing.

"Yes, Miss. As long as there is a water truck, a lot of manpower will be saved for watering in the future, and everyone will be able to relax a lot." Iyena had seen similar things in Iron Hill City before, those excellent blacksmith workshops , would use something like this to divert water from the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone seems to be very happy." This was the first time Geweier saw everyone smiling since he took over the territory.

"Yes, because everything is slowly getting better." Iyena explained with a little pride.

"Since the beginning of spring, under the leadership of Lord Wuming, a large amount of wasteland in valleys and rivers has been opened up. And according to regulations, most of them will be assigned to their respective names, and everyone only needs to pay a small amount of food."

Seeing that Geweier seemed puzzled, Iyena continued to narrate from the side.

"Such behavior is actually very rare, because most nobles regard the land in their territories as privately owned, and people farm the land just to help the nobles, most of which are not their own."

"That's right, this is just a simple beginning." The voice of the unknown knight came from one side, and he walked up the hill step by step, and the two guards hurriedly saluted him. He is the real talker of the territory.

"Good morning, Mr. Unknown." Geweier raised her skirt and bowed in salute, then raised her head and looked at the mysterious knight. Unfortunately, she had never seen the face under the mask.

"My lord." Seeing Lorraine Hill approaching, Iyena quickly asked the guard to bring another chair and put it beside Geweier, allowing the two to sit together.

Afterwards, the people below gradually installed and strengthened the waterwheel, added a rain-shielding top, and so on.

Looking at these people full of vigor and vitality, Lorraine Hill also felt a little full of fulfillment in his heart.

"Has Miss Gevier imagined her own future?" Sitting next to the noble girl, the unknown knight spoke, which made Geweier's heart tremble and she was a little caught off guard.

"I probably did." She turned her head slightly and looked at the armored knight. Is this lord testing me?

"Oh, can you tell me about it?"

"Probably follow your orders safely and do what you ask me to do." Geweier said seriously.

"This..." Lorraine Hill under the mask was a little surprised, it was completely different from what she expected.

She originally thought that this young lady would say something to become a qualified honorable nobleman, lead everyone in such a way, or retire to the countryside and live a happy life of getting married and starting a family.

"Maybe you can think about what you want to do, what wishes you have and so on." Lorraine Hill wanted to enlighten the young lady.

"This is my wish, my lord." Geweier further affirmed that this is the nameless lord testing himself.

"I know, you want to be good for me, so that I can find my own happiness." Geweier looked at the open space under the mountain and said slowly.

"However, I'm not the kind of person who yearns for unfettered freedom, because that would make me feel at a loss and lose my way."

"Just tell me what to do. I hope that Geweier can satisfy the adults, and then you will give me a little care and shelter, and Geweier will be satisfied." She is a bird that cannot find the meaning of life by herself. others to give.

"Is that so..." the knight whispered.

Lorraine Hill felt the emotions and emotions conveyed in the words, and gradually understood the thoughts of this young lady in her heart.

Not everyone knows what they should do. Maybe some people have never discovered the meaning of life, but it does not mean that such a life is painful and a failure.

Some people have gained peace in the close family relationship, some have gained recognition and affirmation in the process of following a great cause, and some have watched their children grow up step by step with happiness and cheered for the growth of a new life.

In the final analysis, people are all looking for a kind of recognition, perhaps from their parents, from society, or from history. Such recognition allows them to perceive the value of their own lives and believe that they are valuable.

"If that's the case, I can give you a promise to make you feel at ease."

After a pause, the unknown knight spoke slowly.

"I need you, as a qualified territory manager, to lead everyone to prosperity and progress step by step, and gradually build a beautiful homeland."

"As a promise, I promise to protect your safety, keep you from being bullied, and live under the roof of peace. Even if time goes by and you no longer hold any position or identity, I still guarantee that you will have a comfortable and peaceful living environment, Spend the rest of your life peacefully without being disturbed by the outside world.”

The rusty voice was not beautiful, it was so deep, but in Geweier's ears, it was like a light, gradually breaking through the nothingness and filling the heart.

The empty heart seemed to be gradually filled at this moment, and she finally found the support and backbone of her life. This promise is like a warm pillar, gradually propping up her anxious and restless heart.

The eyes blinked quickly, trying not to let the warm liquid flow down, Geweier nodded.

"Gewier has received it, and will remember this promise for the rest of his life. I just hope that adults don't dislike me."

You are so stupid, didn't the nun tell you when you were a child, don't believe any promises, because everything will pass and be forgotten.

But, that voice is so intoxicating, I am willing to believe in his promise, just like when I was a child, I believed that making a wish on a shooting star would come true.

What a fool, Gewiel, you are just a beautiful bird being played around with, when your beauty grows old, who will remember the promises you made in the past, those are just lies to lie to you.

But, but, I have no other path to choose.

If this is just a sweet dream, please let me quietly enjoy the aftermath of this sweet dream before I wake up.

I will do my best, and I just hope that the adults will not abandon me.With such a small wish, I implore the gods to take pity on such a powerless bird like me.

ps: The chapter last night, because it was published in a hurry (the deadline at 12 o'clock in the morning, 0 0,), was actually not very perfect, and more than 800 words were added later.

If the ending you see is 'a bird that can't get free', then it is correct, if not, it proves that there is less, and you can refresh it.

After opening up the fields for growing grain, there are still some mountainous areas. Although it is not suitable for growing grain, it is very suitable for planting some fruit trees.
