Release that Witch - Chapter 1032
[Chapter 1012 Livia]
Walking through the snow-covered alleys, listening to the creaking sound from the soles of her feet, Livia’s chest became more and more warm.
Winter in the northern region is always the same, the sky is gray and gloomy, like a stone slab pressing on everyone’s heads; the earth is covered with snow, and everything loses its original color.
Coupled with the cold and hunger that followed, it was hard not to be bored by this monotonous sight.
But she saw a color she hadn’t seen before.
That color is brighter than the rainbow light, even in this season of howling wind and snow, it is as eye-catching as the stars in the sky and the earth.
The closer it was to it, the more Livia couldn’t wait.
The end of the light pointed directly at the hut she rented.
If it wasn’t for her livelihood, she didn’t even want to leave it-
That is her child.
The crystallization of her and Gron Wimbledon.
With him, she seemed to have the whole world.
Thinking of this, Livia couldn’t help walking a little faster.
However, when she turned into the last alley, her heart was suddenly gripped.
I saw a dozen or so rows of footprints on the snow-white ground. Judging from the orientation, they entered the place from another alley and broke straight into the entrance of the courtyard.
And she temporarily lived in this compound.
The neighbors here are all ordinary civilians, not to mention Xie Yue, even in spring and summer, there are very few visitors. Why are there so many footprints for no reason?
Immediately, Livia only felt a burst of dizziness in her head, and then an indescribable fear welled up in her heart.
No, calm down… She kept telling herself that maybe it was just a group of robbers who came to rob, or refugees who wandered here——a situation that looked equally bad to outsiders was her last hope.
But at the first glance after walking into the compound tremblingly, even this glimmer of hope no longer exists.
The door of the house she rented was full of patrolmen in soft armor, one of them was dressed as a knight, and the badge on his chest represented that he was from the Kant family that ruled the Northland.
“Do not–!”
Livia burst out a force from nowhere, dropped the milk cake she had finally bought in her arms, lowered her head and rushed towards the door!
At that moment, she was ready to be beheaded.
Even without the other party’s hands, as long as he draws out the long sword and blocks it in front of her, she will slam it headfirst!
Unexpectedly, they seemed indifferent to her appearance, they just turned their body slightly, and let her rush straight into the house.
The threshold tripped Livia, who was in a panic, and the cold ground tore her sarong like a millstone, but the pain from her knee was insignificant.
She crawled into the small bedroom with tears in her eyes, and when she wanted to see the child for the last time, she found that the expected scene did not appear——
A blue-haired woman sat on the head of the bed, teasing her child expressionlessly, while the nanny who usually helped take care of the child stood aside with her head bowed respectfully, as if she was the real master.
Then the woman raised her head and glanced at her—just one glance made Livia understand that this person was definitely not in the same category as herself, even though she had an impressive appearance, how could she It is also impossible to associate her with common women.
Gentle, weak, charming, sensual… Those feminine words are not suitable for her. Even if she is holding the child, there is no maternal light in her eyes.
Rather than saying she was teasing a child, it would be better to say…she was teasing a toy.
“We met for the first time,” the other party said slowly, “My name is Edith Kant, you should have heard my name.”
The Pearl of the North——Livia’s heart was shocked. She was the eldest daughter of Duke Kant, the strange woman who was rumored to lead the knights to charge into battle?
The name of Pearl is known to everyone in the northern border, and even Gron has mentioned her many times.
It was even said that she was more difficult to deal with than the Duke himself.
“I’ve seen my lord,” Livia swallowed, leaned down, and touched her head to the ground, “May I ask why you came this time to…”
Edith waved her hand, and the nanny beside her immediately saluted, and then left the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
At this point, she already understood that the nanny she found was arranged by the Kant family.
They had already discovered the secret of the child.
“To make a long story short, I am entrusted by His Majesty the King to bring the blood of the Wimbledon family back to Neverwinter.”
“Then… execute him secretly?” Livia said with difficulty.
“If it’s just to erase his existence, you can do it anywhere, and you don’t need to work so hard,” Edith untied the wrapping on the child’s head, revealing the light gray hair, “Your Majesty needs a reason to hide, just That’s all.”
Livia couldn’t help being stunned, she really couldn’t understand the meaning of the other party’s words, “My lord, I… don’t quite understand…”
“This matter is not as complicated as you think,” Beidi Pearl shrugged, “Have you ever heard of witches?”
…
After listening to the other party’s narration, it took Livia a long time to connect the two things together, and the conclusion she got was even more incredible than the Arabian Nights!
Roland Wimbledon decided to marry a witch, so he planned to bring out Gron’s child to calm public opinion?
She doesn’t know much about the ways of nobles, but intuitively feels that this method is a bit counterintuitive.
The opponent is the king, is it really necessary to do this?
She gritted her teeth and summoned up her courage to say, “My lord, please forgive me for not being able to believe it—maybe His Majesty has such thoughts now, but it doesn’t mean that he will be like this in the future. In case something happens, Xie Luo…”
“Xie Luo? Is that the child’s name?” Edith raised her eyebrows, “You don’t seem to understand your situation yet, His Majesty’s order is absolute. You only have two choices, take a sum of money and fly away , no longer ask about this matter, or go to Neverwinter with him, but he can no longer show up in the name of his mother, but a servant of a noble family.”
Livia felt tears welling up in her eyes again. That’s right, her status was too humble to be part of the royal family. “Who will take care of him instead of me?”
“nobody.”
“Huh?” She raised her head abruptly, tears dripping down the corners of her mouth.
“Your Majesty is not that unkind. If you choose the latter, except for changing your identity, nothing will change. You can still stay by his side and watch him grow up. That noble family has already been attacked by the church. Destroyed, and Gron’s fiancée entrusted the child to you before she died-the above is the whole content of the story.” Edith paused, “In addition, this news has already been announced in other territories. No exception, just wait for two or three days, and you will hear the whole content of the news. If he wants to get rid of you, why should he make a big noise?”
What Pearl of the North means… is His Majesty doing this mainly to reassure her?
Livia pressed her chest, and the scene of that night involuntarily appeared in her mind – she was desperate, and found him who was the fourth prince at that time, and the other party really extended a helping hand to her.
Although he might have ulterior motives, if it wasn’t for this, she might have died under the beating of the tavern owner.
She took a deep breath, wiped her face, and stood up from the ground.
Kneeling for too long made her legs numb, but she still controlled her body, “Master Beidi Pearl, may I ask…does this child have a chance to become a king?”
“No.” A hint of interest flashed in Edith’s eyes. “Before departure, His Majesty specifically told you that you don’t have to have illusions. If you don’t have hope, you won’t be disappointed. Of course, this statement is forbidden to spread.”
“No, my lord, I won’t be disappointed – it is my greatest wish to let him grow up safely.” Livia’s voice became slower and slower, as if every word required all the strength of her body, “But, This has never solved the problem of His Majesty’s heir. If he changes his mind in the future and decides to appoint a real crown prince, the latter will definitely regard Xie Luo as a thorn in his side, and by then, he may not be able to survive!” She looked straight at The other party said word by word, “I know I can’t change anything, but if you can’t tell me a reasonable answer, please kill me here!”
“Oh?” Edith narrowed her eyes.
It was the smell of bloodthirsty.
In front of the other party, she is as weak as a lamb.
But even so, Livia still puffed up her chest and said without giving in, “If not, this day will become a reality sooner or later. I can’t personally send Gron Wimbledon’s child to the end, my lord !”
Of course there will be no answer, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Even if there is, there is no need for the other party to tell a humble maid, all she can do is this… Sorry, Goron, Livia closed her eyes and waited The coldness of the blade cutting the throat, I’m sorry… darling.
As if feeling the imminent parting, the child woke up from his sleep and cried out.
She tried her best to prevent herself from opening her eyes.
She was afraid that as long as she took a look at it, she would never be able to make this decision again.
However, the blow never came.
Until Edith laughed softly, “Yes.”
Livia looked at the other party in disbelief.
Then Pearl of the North opened her mouth and said the answer silently.
It was an even more incredible answer, even beyond her imagination, but for some reason, she believed the other party’s words.
Probably when she fell into the vortex, even a straw would become the hope of saving her life, let alone her who was almost drowned.
Rather than being persuaded by the other party, it is better to say that she convinced herself.
Edith tossed the crying child to Livia, turned around and walked out the door, “Leave in three days, get ready to unload your luggage.”
“My lord…” She murmured just as they passed each other, “There is a tavern owner in Yougu Town, and a missing guard of His Royal Highness Gorron may know about it.”
“I’ll take care of it myself, you don’t have to worry.” Edith said without turning her head.
After Beidizhu left, Livia hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear, and the latter also calmed down, and buried her head in her chest.
In the violent heartbeat, she couldn’t help asking herself, is that really possible?
During the silent conversation, she clearly saw the answer that the other party said.
It is a simple word, but it has a fascinating magic.
“eternal life”.
This was the king’s answer.
