Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Chapter 1387 Antoine's Past

Countess Natalie, a young girl who is often mistaken for a widow by ignorant people.

Earl is his title, and Madam is a respectful title for gender. Normally, there is no class difference and noble women are not often called Madam, but in a small place like Altdorf, even the lord is just a small prince.

When faced with a powerful earl who had nearly a thousand private soldiers and more than twenty knights as vassals, the city lord could only dare to look down at the floor with his lustful eyes.

The girl leaned on the velvet sofa, holding a few pieces of parchment in her hands. The beautiful and elegant court cursive script showed that the writer had a good family background and could hire someone to guide her.

Rouyi reached out her slender hand from her lace sleeves, pinched the feather pen on the table with two fingers, reached into the ink bottle and gently squeezed the gallbladder, muttering to herself.

"Well~ I'm going to take her to a deserted place, lock her alive in a cave, and give her only a little food to atone for our sins..."

After the feather pen absorbed ink, the girl stood up and sat upright, her beautiful brows furrowed like a lily bud about to bloom. She held the pen half a centimeter away from the parchment, but did not put pen to paper.

It seemed as if I was writing the ending for this exquisite story, but I was worried that the final outcome would tarnish this extremely tragic drama, and I could only make a continuous humming sound.

After a long time, the girl finally gave up, stared at the parchment for a long time, and watched this unparalleled tragedy from the beginning again.

A helpless girl who faces the king in order to bury her brother. She has no one to help her, and she doesn't need anyone's help, because she has already decided to die.

Natalie gave up on writing the sequel, threw down her feather pen in a huff, hugged the stuffed doll on the sofa, buried her pretty face in the back of the big bear, and spoke incoherently.

"Kunov, why can you come up with such a tragic story? Obviously, the history of the empire has countless heroic deeds that were not afraid of sacrifice, but I don't feel as deeply about it as Antigone. She is just a girl who wants her brother to sleep peacefully..."

As the Countess was feeling sad over the story, an untimely cough was heard from the door.

"Countess, please be polite. You shouldn't care so much about a liar's story. Especially when this liar sells theater tickets in your name and fools ignorant civilians, you should keep your distance from him."

The strict head maid made Natalie pout and cover her face with the stuffed bear, very unhappy. Antoine obviously drew Anati very vividly, but you all just called him a liar.

Natalie was feeling depressed and decided to do something willful. "Today's party is cancelled. I don't want to see those lustful eyes..."

When the head maid tried to persuade you that as a prominent noble of Altdorf, you should maintain friendly relations with all the families, Natalie poked her head out and said with a lack of confidence, "Also, you have to find Antoine as soon as possible. Every time this story reaches its climax, you let the dogs chase him away. Am I the Countess, or are you the Countess?"

As for Natalie, who never grew up, the head maid could only comfort her by stroking her fur like petting a cat, and promised to invite Antoine as soon as possible, but the countess might host the party.

Antoine, who was the topic of discussion in the Earl's Mansion, encountered a problem at this time. Two ferocious dogs, half a man's height, were baring their teeth and growling threateningly.

I touched the back of my head and felt a little confused. The last time I saw these two brothers, they were only shoulder-high to thigh-high. How come after not seeing them for a month, they are only waist-high? That's not right...

As the two vicious dogs straightened their bent hind legs, Antoine swallowed subconsciously.

He really wanted to ask the law enforcement captain beside him, is it that the food you feed your dog is Jinkela?
Inati reached into the iron bars, stroked the dog's head, stared at Antoine and gave a cold command. "Evil dog, how can you treat your master like this! If you don't obey, the Earl's Mansion will have dog meat soup tonight."

The vicious dog didn't dare to bare its teeth anymore. The bulging muscles on its face relaxed immediately. It tilted its head and actively rubbed its owner's big palm, just to get a little insignificant care.

Antoine nodded in agreement, not responding to Ainati's suggestion. "Well, I'm good at cooking dog meat. If the Countess wants to experience the taste of ordinary people's food, please allow me to give these two young men a hot bath to remove the dirt from their bodies, clean their hair with a pine fire, peel off the skin and bones, and then use turmeric, onion, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg..."

As Antoine was talking about cooking methods, his eyes flashed red. He hadn't eaten meat for a month since he was chased away by the head maid with dogs. The two brothers were plump and strong, so the meat must be of excellent quality.

Winter is coming, and I, Antoine, need to keep warm...

With this in mind, his hand unconsciously reached through the iron bars and reached out to a white dog that had not been poisoned by Anati.

This dog is quite interesting. It is much more ferocious than the dogs in Ulthuan. It should be pleasing to the trainers of Chrace...

A slender hand with distinct knuckles suddenly appeared when Antoine was about to touch the vicious dog, and woke up the stray elf who was starving due to lack of oil and water.

Anati sighed. You are so jumpy even though you are handcuffed with exquisite silver bracelets. You are going to steal a dog in front of its owner. Are you a human being?

"You... forget it. I just hunted a wild boar outside the city the day before yesterday. The Countess doesn't like red meat with a strong gamey smell. Wait until she's happy and take her back."

When Antoine heard that there was wild boar meat to eat, he glared at the vicious dog and thought to himself that he would take action against you next time. Now he would keep it as a reserve ration. When he gets really hungry, he will directly go to the Earl's mansion to steal dogs.

Antoine was naturally a little shy after receiving the benefit. He did not expect that the law enforcement captain, who was known for his cold face and ruthlessness in the city, would be quite humane: "Thanks, this wild boar should be enough for me to eat..."

With a hint of amusement, Anati waited for Antoine's next words. The young knight thought that volunteering at the orphanage was a very secretive thing.

But he didn't know that if every penny he earned was not turned into food for the children, clothes for them to wear, and charcoal for them to keep warm, the Earl's Mansion would not have repeatedly invited an elf with "inferior" character.

"Three days, I have a big appetite. And I think Ms. Inati's law enforcement duties are too heavy. As a good citizen of Ulthuan, I sincerely thank you for your contribution..."

Anati crossed her arms and nodded continuously, thinking that Antoine must have other purposes, otherwise he would just point at her and call her a crazy woman and a violent woman.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I am different from Natalie and I will not accept your compliments."

Antoine rubbed his hands, which were handcuffed with exquisite silver bracelets, and his angular face showed a flattering attitude. It was very rare for him to show a negotiating tone to Anati.

"Since you have a lot of law enforcement duties, could you spare some time to visit your family's hunting grounds? I'm happy to help you eat any red or white meat that the Countess doesn't like." (End of this chapter)
