After Princess Elena left, Vivian also got on the carriage and left the royal capital. Although she intends to stir up the ambition of the princess, many things cannot be done in a hurry and can only be planned slowly, otherwise her opponents will be wary.
Vivian came to the courtyard wearing light clothes, and all the knights were neatly dressed and stood in an orderly manner.
"Sister, let's go back." Victor said with a smile.
"Yes, the summer in the royal capital is too hot." Vivian squinted her eyes and looked at the blue sky. She didn't look away until her eyes hurt.
The housekeeper led all the servants who took care of the palace and stood outside the door to watch them leave. Laura, Anne, and Fia accompanied Vivian in the carriage.
Victor got on his horse and shouted: "Let's go!"
The team made a rumbling sound and began to move. The magnificent Winter Palace was left behind and became smaller and smaller.
When they came to the city gate, they happened to meet Carol. The last time he went to the Marquis Mansion, Vivian told him the specific time of departure and agreed to say goodbye. It turned out that he had not forgotten it.
"Mr. Vivian, I wish you a safe journey." Carol's eyes were firm, her voice was low, and she had a mature and steady charm.
"Thank you, Brother Carol." Vivian would call him "Sir" in public and "Brother" in private.
"I hope we can meet again. If you don't mind, I would like to give you a gift."
"Oh, thanks!"
Carol handed Vivian a blue gift box. Vivian opened it in surprise and found a blue diamond bracelet inside.
"I like it very much. The color is very similar to my eyes."
"Glad to satisfy you."
Vivian stretched out her arm in front of Laura, and Laura carefully helped her put on the bracelet. There are blue gems hanging on the white wrists, which look so dazzling.
Carol swallowed and then said goodbye to Victor.
Soon, the carriage left the royal capital, and the sun became hotter and hotter, just like the big iron stove in the kitchen. Both the knights on horseback and Vivian in the carriage were sweating profusely.
When the sun was at its strongest, they rested by the cool water of the river. We had dry food for lunch. The housekeeper had carefully prepared bread and pancakes a few days ago. They tasted good when dipped in jam.
After Vivian finished a piece of bread, Laura handed her some clean water to drink. Because of the hot weather, the originally cool water became very hot in the kettle.
After a two-hour break at noon, the team continued to move forward. Tonight they would reach a nearby town to rest so as not to sleep in the open.
On the first night, they rested in a small town tavern.
Vivian's body is very weak, and even though she has been eating nutritiously with meat and vegetables for more than a month, she has not been able to recover. Now I am lying in bed, my whole body is sore, let alone bread, I can't even drink porridge.
Laura massaged her distressedly. After all, riding in a carriage for a whole day was really tiring. Even Annie and Fia sighed with grimaces. Fortunately, they were not in a hurry to return to their territory, otherwise it would be even harder to travel under the scorching sun.
Perhaps she was too tired, so Vivian slept deeply at night. The maid slept in the next room, and the knights took turns keeping vigil.
Suddenly a black shadow flashed across, and the next moment the dagger quickly stabbed Vivian. Since it was hot in summer, she didn't need a quilt when sleeping at night, so she lay on the bed wearing thin pajamas.
Vivian slept very honestly, with her hands placed neatly on her stomach, her face looked calm, and her mouth was slightly raised, as if she was having a sweet dream.
Just as the dagger quickly approached her chest, she suddenly opened her eyes. Their eyes met, and Victor took two steps back in fright.
Vivian just glanced at him, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep. Her movements were so fast that it was difficult to tell whether she really opened her eyes just now?
Victor gritted his teeth and took two steps forward to the bed. He could not retreat, he had to kill this witch!
"Victor, even if you disturb my sleep, the consequences will be very serious." Vivian said coldly.
"Isn't sister sleeping?" Victor didn't expect her to wake up. Could it be that his plan was exposed?
"Get out."
"I'm going to kill you or I'm going to go crazy."
"Then go crazy. You can't kill me in this life anyway."
"Why?"
"Because you are too weak, both in terms of ability and psychology."
Victor didn't believe it, he gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed Vivian's heart without hesitation. Soon enough, Vivian grabbed the pillow next to her and took the sword, and she rolled to the side.
Victor angrily stabbed him for the second time. This time Vivian didn't relent. She wrapped the sword with a sheet first, and then kicked him away.
In the morning, Laura opened the door and found that the young master was hanging out of the window by the sheets. If you are not careful, you will fall from the balcony on the third floor, and you will die.
Victor was hung up all night, feeling desperate, as if no matter what he did, he couldn't kill Vivian.
After breakfast, the group continued heading north. The morning wind was cool, and there was chatter and laughter in the town.
The sun is getting warmer, and the crisp chirping of birds can be heard in the woods. The mountain road became steeper and steeper, so everyone rested by the stream at noon.
The knights led the horses to feed them water. Some people took off their clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. Anyway, there were no outsiders in the deep mountains and forests.
Vivian chewed the hard pie and raised her eyes to look at Victor who was not far away. Even though he was feeling unwell, he still maintained a calm smile on his face.
In the afternoon, the horses moved along the creek, the blue sky passed through the mountains and fields, and the flowing river water seemed to be sprinkled with golden light.
Not long after, it suddenly started to rain, and everyone had to set up tents to rest. The knights of Klein Mansion dutifully patrolled the area to avoid being attacked by bandits.
Suddenly a famous knight shouted: "Who is there!"
The creature in the grass ran away quickly when it heard the sound, and the two knights chased after it, but they didn't even catch up with his shadow. Victor was intrigued and took five knights to capture him.
An hour later, they dragged back a dirty and smelly savage. Under the messy hair were a pair of persistent red eyes, which were grinning and yelling at Victor.
Vivian remembered that in the original plot, this child was Victor's most loyal dog. He was thrown into the woods by his mother when he was five years old, and was caught by Victor at the age of fifteen. He couldn't speak, had no common sense, and was the best killing tool.
"Ouch!" The savage roared like a wolf.
The knights were worried that he had really attracted the wolf, so they hurriedly covered his mouth. However, he was too strong. He opened his mouth and bit the knight's hand until it was bloody. It must be said that he looked like a wild beast.
Because he was too dangerous, the knights bound his hands and feet. The deputy leader wanted to let him go. After all, they were just passing by and there was no need to be obsessed with a homeless man, but Victor disagreed.
If you want to find out the origin of the savages, you can only ask the nearby villages for help. Victor wanted to change the route, and Vivian agreed.
That night, they rested in the nearest village while asking about the past of the savages. The prerequisite for Victor to tame him for his own use is to find out his identity.
After two days of investigation, the past of the savage was finally discovered. He has no name and his mother was a prostitute who later ran away with a man. The villagers thought she had taken the child away, so they didn't care. Who would have thought...
"What a poor child. How could there be such a cruel mother in this world." The middle-aged man's eyes were red and he seemed to sympathize with the child's plight.
Is this really the case? Not necessarily, after all, the forest is very close to the village, and the carriage can reach it in two hours. No matter how crazy a five-year-old child is, it is impossible for him to not find the village for ten years. The only explanation is that he was not only abandoned by his mother, but also by the entire village.
"Have someone clean him up, and then find someone in the village to buy him suitable clothes to wear." Vivian said to Victor.
"Okay, sister." Victor saw her disgusted look and replied with a smile.
When the child appeared in front of Vivian again, his appearance changed greatly. His dark hair turned out to be white, and he was very small. He was said to be fifteen years old, but malnutrition made him look like an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
He has white hair and red eyes. No wonder the people in the village don't accept him. In this era, red hair represented lowliness and red eyes represented evil.
Unfortunately, the truth is that he has albinism. Albinos have colorless hair and look like they are old. Vivian's silver hair is a bit gray and the color is very bright.
