king of the castle

Chapter 75

Since discovering Roger, Wade has been thinking of a way to drive him out of Linton Pass again, but he has never been able to do so. 【】Don't worry, this guy's character is extremely bad, and he will turn to undead creatures for his own benefit, but his vision is still very accurate.During the short walk from outside the pass to the church, Wade realized that the relationship between Roger and Anna was extraordinary.

When chatting with Roger, Anna didn't have half of the arrogance of a noble lady, and Roger's attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, as if chatting with an old friend.All of this was seen by Wade, knowing that if he insisted on keeping Roger and others, Anna would definitely not give him good fruit.

However, Wade is also very clear in his heart that if this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be very dire.Not to mention that lord's terrifying methods, as long as he announces his collusion with undead creatures, he will definitely have his place on the stake.

Thinking of these Wade's headaches, he secretly scolded Roger for being too good at making trouble, and actually came to Linton pass with Anna, which made him fall into a dilemma.

Just when Wade was worried about how to keep Roger, an orderly appeared in his field of vision on a horse.In order to show respect to the Supreme God, the orderly got off his horse from afar, trotted all the way to Wade and handed out an envelope, "Master Captain, this is an urgent order from the military department!"

Wade took the envelope and carefully checked it. After confirming that the seal was intact, he nodded to the dusty messenger and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The messenger saluted again before turning and leaving.Wade opened the envelope to read the contents of the order, and after only a few lines of writing, he showed a relieved smile.He glanced at Roger who was chatting with Anna, and proudly said to himself: "What will you do this time, you are dead!"

"Your cousin is safe, so what are your plans?" Roger was completely unaware that a new crisis was approaching, and he said to Anna with a smile: "If you go to the capital, don't forget to take us with you. I almost lost my life, and I should go to a big city to enjoy myself!"

"I want to stay here for a few days, and then go to the capital after my cousin's body recovers." Anna stared at Roger with her deep blue eyes and asked slowly: "Are you... willing to escort us to the capital? "

"Of course!" Roger's answer immediately made Anna smile happily. The princess was really happy to be able to walk with him.

But Roger seemed to turn a blind eye to Anna's smile, rubbing his hands together and asked, "I don't know how much you plan to spend to hire us this time?"

Anna's good mood was completely spoiled by Roger's words, and she cursed in a low voice, regardless of noble etiquette: "You! Bastard!"

"Although we know each other very well, friends are friends, and business is business!" Roger continued, depending on Anna's mood, "You also know that it's not easy for me to raise so many subordinates!"

At this moment, there was no smile on Anna's face, and she just asked coldly, "How much do you want in return?"

"It's much farther from here to the capital than we have traveled before, and the reward must be far more than five hundred gold coins." Roger held back a smile and stretched out a finger: "Just give this number!"

"One thousand gold coins? Alright, I'll give it to you when I get to the capital!" Anna's voice was as cold as winter ice.

Seeing that Anna was really angry, Roger suddenly gave her a nasty smile and said, "No... what I want is a kiss!"

"You... hate it!" Anna didn't expect Roger to ask for such a "reward", and Anna blushed immediately after being stunned for a moment.At this moment, she was no longer the able and shrewd daughter of the duke, but shy and happy like those ordinary girls.

The mainland of Torenzo has an open atmosphere, and it is not uncommon for both men and women to show their love to each other publicly.If Lang has a love concubine and is interested, the result will naturally be happy for everyone.If one party does not have such an idea, at most it is to laugh at such a thing and not feel angry about it.In fact, the more times a woman is shown her love, the more she will be envied by others, because it shows that she is attractive and can attract enough opposite sexes.

Anna was originally an outstanding beauty, plus she was the Duke's heir and very smart and capable. Many people showed love to her since she was still a child.There are not only men, but even a few women, but none of them can touch Anna's heart, and instead annoy her.

However, this time Anna felt completely different from before.When Roger said that the reward he wanted was a kiss, Anna obviously felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks were hot, and she didn't need to know that her face must be frighteningly red at this time.

Looking at Anna who rarely showed a shy expression, Roger also understood her decision, and immediately leaned into Anna's ear and whispered: "We have agreed, when you escort you to the capital, remember to give me the reward!"

"No way!" Anna defended the last sliver of reason, and rejected Roger's request.

But Roger knew very well that sometimes women say "no" when they really mean the exact opposite.So Roger didn't get entangled in this matter any more, anyway, he just asked Anna for a reward when he arrived in the capital.This was agreed upon by both parties, so I forgive this chick for not refusing to give it.

Looking at Anna's delicate lips, Roger couldn't help laughing smugly.At this moment, Wade hurriedly walked towards the two of them.

Roger obviously felt that Wade was a little different from before, especially this guy looked at him with a bit more sinister and malicious meaning.This discovery made Roger a little uneasy, wondering what bad idea this guy had come up with, so that he dared to look at him like this.

Roger's ominous premonition was soon verified, and Wade handed the parchment to Anna and said, "Miss Hamilton, this is an order just issued by the military department. I regret to inform you that I am afraid that another person will be found to protect you." Headed to the capital with Earl Rosberg."

Wade's tough tone made Anna a little unhappy. She read the words on the parchment suspiciously, and her delicate eyebrows quickly frowned.Anna repeated the contents of the parchment several times, convinced that the order was indeed not forged, and could not help complaining in a low voice: "What are these people in the military department thinking? How could they issue such absurd orders?!"

Seeing from Anna's expression that the situation was not good, Roger quickly took the parchment and got up carefully.The order on the parchment is very simple, and the most important thing is only one sentence: The military command, the garrison at Lington Pass must integrate all civilian armed forces to resist the attack of undead creatures on the spot. Those who disobey this order will be dealt with by military law!
