"Young Master Angele, you're awake?" A guard with a beard said in a deep voice. He was wearing a thick yellow leather armor and had a huge axe on his back. He gave off an exceptionally strong feeling.
It could be seen that the guards of the family were notorious for being arrogant and despotic in the territory, judging from their actions of taking things without paying.
After lying on the bed for a long time, Ye Song got out of bed.
Maggie also seemed to feel Ye Song's gaze. Her face was slightly blushing, but she took the initiative to let Ye Song glance at her. Angele pretended that he was not paying attention to her.
A group of criminals had appeared out of nowhere. In the past few days, they had continuously robbed and killed more than ten households, causing the entire territory to be in a state of panic.
Ye Song took a deep breath. It was almost evening, and the temperature was getting colder.
Celia, on the other hand, was too shy. She was not as developed as Maggie. She looked more like a young deer. She looked at Angele with her hands rubbing her abdomen. It seemed like she was worried about Angele. Compared to Maggie, she was a pure beauty.
Ye Song returned to his own bedroom.
The evening sun dyed the entire castle red. An unknown floral fragrance drifted over from an unknown place.
They were two members of the Baron's guards. Both of them were tall and burly middle-aged men.
Ye Song nodded. They turned around and drove the carriage back to the castle. They disappeared on the main road after a few minutes. Ye Song walked back to the castle after a while.
"Wade, I'm back." Ye Song said loudly. He increased his pace.
The grey earthen castle did not look as formal as Ye Song had imagined. It was at most the height of a five-story building. In front of the gate that was lowered by the moat, there were two guards with iron swords on their backs. They were looking over in confusion.
Ye Song knew that his father had recently led the guards to capture and kill criminals in the territory.
Ye Song nodded.
He was not the same as Angele when he was young.
The other person was skinny and only wore half a leather armor. However, his eyes were calm and he looked very agile. He had a cross blade hanging from his waist.
"Young Master, you don't have to go back to the castle this time. You can learn from Audis."
The three of them chatted casually as they walked. Ye Song noticed that when the passersby saw him, they would bow slightly and respectfully with a look of awe on their faces. It made him feel like a lion walking among a flock of sheep.
Ye Song nodded.
"Is this what Father wants?"
Wade, who had been standing by the side, also left quietly to deal with other matters.
Ye Song pulled out the chair beside the desk and sat down. He glanced at the sheepskin scroll.
In this world, apart from the nobles, all the commoners could only wear gray. Only the nobles could wear colored clothes. That was privilege. If anyone dared to disobey, they would most likely be sentenced to death. It was very serious. Moreover, even for nobles, there were some colors that could only be used to distinguish their rank.
Ye Song's gaze swept across the blade of the Cross Sword and saw that there were still traces of dark red blood on it. He could not help but narrow his eyes.
Unlike everyone else on the street, he wasn't wearing grey clothes. It was black. But then he understood.
A white-haired old man dressed in a black robe came out of the stone castle to welcome them. Behind him were a few maids and guards.
Ye Song pushed the door open and saw a small gray yard with a small pond. The yard looked a bit barren, and there were clusters of green weeds everywhere.
In addition to the bed, there was a writing-table, on which a yellow scroll of parchment was spread. A quill was placed carelessly on one side of the inkstand, and a pear-shaped candlestick gleamed with a pale yellow light. There was also a light smell of wax in the air.
"Angele."
One of them was Celia, Angele's half-sister, and the other one was Maggie, the daughter of a poor relative who came to the Rio Family for help. Both of them were younger than Angele, so they called him Angele.
When Ye Song returned to the castle, they were not the only ones who came to greet him. The two of them knew that they were waiting for Ye Song in advance. They wanted to show that they were close to Ye Song in the eyes of the people around them. Of course, it was also because of Ken, who was their parents.
Wade was Baron Karl's steward who was responsible for the general affairs of the territory. He had been with the Leo Family for decades, and it was said that he watched his father grow up.
"I'm much better now. Don't worry about me." He chatted with the two girls for a while.
Ye Song went back to his room and changed into his pajamas. Then, he left the temporary resting place with the two girls.
Ye Song heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Ye Song had a habitual smile on his face as he walked into the stone fort with a group of people.
Ye Song learned their names after chatting for a while. The thinner one was called Carter, and he was an adventurer who lived nearby. He was recruited into the guards, and he was quite lucky. One had to know that adventurers in real life were simply the synonym for jobless people. Their status was very low. Being a guard was equivalent to being a police officer on Earth. Not only did they have a higher status, but they also had a lot of benefits.
Ye Song walked into the inner hall under the guidance of the two girls. Most of the people in the castle greeted him politely, and he finally had time to rest.
"Did Uncle Audis ask you to come here?" Ye Song asked.
Carter nodded and said, "Yes, since we're here, we'll head back first."
Kyle Castle was surrounded by a moat. Rather than calling it a castle, it would be more accurate to call it a small city surrounded by high walls.
Outside the wall of the courtyard outside the bedroom, there were faint shouts of people. It seemed like someone was gathering the crowd. It was very lively.
The three of them chatted casually as they left the town. There was a black carriage waiting for them outside the fence. The coachman saw the three of them coming, so he quickly got off the carriage and waited by the side.
"We heard that you were injured, so we waited for you here. Are you feeling better?" Maggie took the initiative and asked. Her voice was very young, but she was already very mature at the age of thirteen. She had a curvy body, a charming face, a slim waist, and a big chest. Ye Song could not help but stare at her for a while.
"Celia and Maggie." Ye Song's memory quickly recalled who these two people were.
Maggie's status was much lower. Her parents still had to work for the baron in order to make a living. They were like servants with a slightly higher status. There were many relatives in the castle who had defected to the King like her family. They were not worth mentioning at all.
"Yes. The situation has been very unstable recently, and we are worried about you living alone. Besides, you've suffered so much this time. Even if it's Lord Viscount Candia, he has to give us an explanation. "Wade's tone was filled with viciousness.
Ye Song slightly frowned, but he did not say anything.
Ye Song carefully got off the carriage and looked at the castle in front of him.
"Is Old Wade here?" He whispered.
Carter did not wait for Ye Song to answer and laughed, "You're right. Candia City is much bigger than this place." He picked up a tomato from a roadside stall and took a big bite. He did not care about the sour expression on the stall owner's face.
They left the castle. There were people coming and going on the street outside. Everyone was wearing dirty linen clothes, and it looked like the whole street was dirty.
Wade complained for a while, but he suddenly stopped.
The two entered the castle with the two maids.
"Yes, we need to go back to the guards after we send you back to the castle. We don't have much time, so let's go first," the thinner man said in a deep voice.
The castle was only used by their family when they came to the town for a vacation. It was not a good place to rest.
Angele's position in the family was very high, so the two maids were very careful around him.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." Ye Song smiled. He had a good relationship with the two of them in the past. Because the two of them were good-looking and had good figures in the castle, he took good care of them when he occasionally met them. The two maids thought that they had found someone to rely on, so they were more than happy to be friends with Angele.
It took them about 20 minutes to reach the destination. It was the headquarters of the Rio Family, Kyle Castle.
The three got on the carriage, and Carter drove it to the main road.
Two team members who were guarding outside were standing by the pond and talking when they saw Ye Song coming out. They quickly walked to Ye Song and bowed to him.
"What's wrong? Young Master Angele, are you not used to it? "The thinner man smiled.
Ye Song saw a building in front of him that looked like a manor in his previous life.
The strong man was called Milo, and he was born and raised in the Baron Rio's territory. He was talented, and he was very strong.
"I'm fine with it." Ye Song nodded.
Ye Song walked out of the gate and realized that he was different from the people around him.
"I have already told the Baron to let Audis teach the young master, but the Baron did not listen to me. Now that the young master is injured, if only he had listened to me earlier …" The skinny old man started to mutter as he walked closer to the Baron.
There were many people like them in the castle. Celia's position was better than Angele's. She could get a certain amount of money every month, and she could have someone to do the housework for her. Her position was almost the same as the head maid.
"It seems like you have the information about the criminals," Ye Song said.
"Alright, I'll go change my clothes first."
Knight Audis ordered his guards to spread out and search around the area.
Some of the vendors were selling their wares on the street. Some were selling fruits, some were selling wooden toys, and some were selling vegetables. Some of the women were walking back and forth with baskets in their hands.
"We found their temporary base this morning, and the captain has already surrounded them."
The thinner man nodded.
Two young girls in white dresses were waiting in front of him. Wade and Ye Song walked in, and the two girls carefully lifted their dresses and bowed to Ye Song.
