Chris's Faith of Fire

Page 11

"It's less than 3000 April...it's about the same."

"Well, this is more than just a little money..."

"is it?"

"Hey, this kid is in doom. Is it true that I haven't seen you anywhere?"

"Oh, haha... I can't remember. By the way, my family name is Serel, and I have a sister who works as a maid in the palace."

Then just ask Sophie to check it out when asked.

"I seem to have an impression, but forget it...this is your thing. We are going to take the child away and hand him over to the police station for trial. Please be careful on the way home."

As he said this, he handed over my wrinkled purse, which should be restored because it was made of leather.

The thief is certainly hateful, but after seeing blood for it, he is still... just a little thief.

"Mr. Guard, please try to avoid beheading your hands or anything like that. Of course, it won't work if you don't teach him a lesson."

I am neither a saint who will plead for him to avoid punishment, nor do I want to become a wicked woman who will be resented for the rest of her life.

After hearing this, the soldier bowed to me to show his understanding.

"Kind lady, I understand..."

"Then, please."

"Hey, hey! Brat, thank the kind lady quickly."

Another soldier held the boy toward me, but he still looked stubborn.

It makes people angry just looking at it. Why is it so natural to do bad things?

"Hey, you need to understand the situation, you are the evil one...ahhhh!"

My vision flashed inexplicably, and a moment later I found myself lying in the corner.

"Um...are there any...accomplices?"

The same goes for the two guards. They were thrown heavily against the wall and then fell down and became unable to move.

It felt like being blown away by a gust of wind.

Is today the day to be knocked away?

But it's all man-made.

"Don't move. You are bullying him, so you use magic. Because you are a girl, you are a little lighter."

"what……"

I looked up and saw a boy with soft blond hair standing at the entrance of the alley.

Some of his front hair covered one eye, giving him a girly and feminine look.

However, the high-quality dress is covered with a black fur cloak, with the lion's emblem pinned there.

It's so cute, but the voice does sound like a boy, and it's in my way.

While he was causing trouble, the young thief took the opportunity to snatch the money bag from my hand again, and then ran away in a hurry.

So why do I spend so much effort chasing him? What's the point?

why am i so unlucky...

I'm so tired, why not just take a nap.

Turning his face sideways, he found that his hair had returned to silvery white.

Chapter 13 13. Wind Engagement——1

After my silver hair returned, I was immediately recognized by the guards. They quickly helped me stand up.

When the three of us staggered out of the alley, the sun was about to sink under the peaks in the west, and the sky was covered with indigo gauze.

This is really the worst ending. Now we have to deal with these two guys.

"Um...can you please not tell father about this?"

I smiled brightly at the relatively familiar guard.

Yet he didn't even turn his head.

"I'm sorry, this is not a trivial matter. It must be reported to His Majesty in full... As for how your Majesty got out of the city, please explain it clearly to His Majesty."

I panicked when I heard what he said.

"Hey! Don't say that, you guards will definitely be punished if you know I escaped from the city!"

"My subordinates were not guarding the door at that time. Even I would not lie to His Majesty."

"Seriously? What if I tell my father that it's all your fault and that I was attacked by thieves because of poor protection? What do you think of this script?"

"My subordinates are only performing their duties. The rest is left to His Majesty's judgment. I am willing to accept all punishments."

"Wha...you're kidding."

His words are as solid as rock and cannot be softened.

It's useless to threaten this person, not even Huairou, he's really a stickler.

"I know, I know! A good public servant of the people... you can do whatever you want, everything is not going well..."

◆ ◇

When I returned to the castle, night had completely fallen, and I stood in front of the long table in the dining room like a prisoner.

Everyone's tableware was placed in front of them, and no one moved it.

The king's face was livid, Ladia frowned fiercely, and Mihir stood aside and sighed helplessly.Only my mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her expression worried as if she would pounce at any time.

The princess looked at Mihir as if seeking some help, and Mihir looked at Ladia, and Ladia finally looked at the king helplessly.

The king shook his head and stood up from his seat.

"Do you have anything to say?"

His voice was quite low, as if full of suppressed anger.

This courage is so terrifying... I'm not kidding this time. This ferocious look can only remind me of the scene of being beaten by my father when I was a child.

My legs were already shaking a little, and I even forgot to answer for a long time.

"Father is asking you something."

When my sister saw that I didn't respond, she also spoke.

"Ladia, don't be so fierce, you will scare little Chrissy."

"Mother, you dote on her too much."

"But... Chris will not encounter anything terrible if she goes out alone."

"That's not the case! You're overprotective. Chrissy will become a useless fat princess if she continues like this!"

"Haha, isn't it quite cute like that? It's also soft when you hold it."

The princess smiled softly, her beautiful hands wearing silk sleeves half covering her lips, and she seemed not to care about my rudeness at all.

"what?"

The conversation between Ladia and the princess could not find any intersection at all, and the father became impatient, and you could even feel the sound of the veins on his forehead twitching.

"Stop talking, I'm asking Chris."

Although it was not too loud, his voice had an irresistible will, and his mother and sister shut their mouths at the same time.

Then my father walked up to me, and I took two steps back.

He won't be beaten, probably...

"How did you escape from the city?"

"While the guards aren't paying attention..."

"do not lie!"

Well!Got it, don't yell at me... I almost had a heart attack.

My father kept staring at my face. It was scary to look at him, so I turned my head slightly.

"The small hole in the corner of the city wall, where it comes out."

"What? You're lying again. The amount of dust on your clothes doesn't look like it got out. Besides, someone should be guarding the maintenance at all times!"

"Ladia, didn't I say I was asking Chris?"

"But father, this child is going to meet the young master of the Shahavier family tomorrow, but he still..."

"I know this better than you."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Hey, what?Shah, Shahavier, what is that, a big noble?

Regardless of this, Ladia sat down unconvinced and glared at me.

"So, did you really escape from there?"

"Well, I took off my skirt first and then got out... As for the workers who were guarding..."

Just when I was thinking about the reason, Sophie took a step forward and spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I assisted His Highness, and it was also me who came up with His Highness's idea of escaping!"

She trembled and spit out the words in one breath.

Father looked at Sophie and then turned to me again.

"Is it really?"

What should I do, do I put the responsibility on Sophie like this?Or take it yourself?

Doubts seemed to jump in front of me, like branches in a game that made it difficult to make a quick decision.

However, similar things have happened before.

He is not a noble guy, but he has never framed others for his own benefit.

This is something I am proud of. I have faced many similar temptations, but I have never chosen the sweet side.

The answer is already obvious.

"No, the little maid has no such courage. What's more, she is a newcomer who has not been here for a long time. I forced her as a princess and asked her to wear thinner clothes than before to seduce the workers to leave their posts. In fact. In the end, Sophie didn't know that my move was to leave the city, otherwise a timid girl like her would definitely try to stop it."

After I finished speaking, I felt like I was relieved and my body became lighter, and my trembling body became calmer.

"Little Chrissy..."

"Humph……"

The mother's expression became complicated, while the sister sneered and looked away.

Although he admitted it honestly, the atmosphere did not seem to relax at all.

Even my mother, who had always been supportive of me, became hesitant and didn’t know what to say.

Father's interrogation is still going on.

"Never mind how ill-considered your behavior is. Anyway, why are you going out?"

"Just wanted to see the outside world."

"Is it because I didn't give you what you wanted?"

"No...I just want to know more."

I turned my head and looked directly at my father. I was not lying.
