The sun shone through the forest.
It turned into golden debris and fell down.
The servant moved forward.
He tried his best to cut off the thorns that entangled the horse's feet.
"My lady, we may have to stop here for a while.
Please take a rest. "The knight, Sir William de Cray, personally opened the door for the person in the carriage.
Lin Daiyu frowned. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She clutched her stomach and was helped down by the maid.
She thanked him with a pale face.
Ever since they left the area of Abat Town,
Because they were in a hurry, most of the roads along the way were bumpy and bumpy.
From time to time, they would encounter some thorny forests.
She was originally in Abat.
She was sick and was taking medicine. She couldn't stand the bumpy road and vomited several times on the road.
Fortunately, the knight who was ordered to escort her to the City of July, Sir William Rake, was an admirer of her theatrical works. He was a handsome young man. He took care of her along the way.
Not only did he bring her luggage and medicine, but he even hired a maid for her on the way.
The servant in front cut the thorny bushes while wiping his sweat.
As he wiped his sweat, he muttered to his companion, "I've been here before.
It's not that desolate … "
"Ah … Ah … Ah …" Lin Daiyu and the others who were resting,
Were all startled by the screams in front of them.
"My lady, stay here and don't move!" William pulled out his sword and carried a wooden warehouse. He called his armed servant and ran forward.
The light of the sword shone, and the stooped shadow in the dark of the forest hugged its head and shrank.
William glared at the disappointing servant and asked the servant to wake them up. He sheathed his sword and said, "Look at what this is. It's not worth making a fuss about! "
The servant looked carefully. It turned out to be a few farmers.
His head was filthy and sticky, with fleas and bugs crawling about. His cheeks were sunken, and there were strips of cloth hanging on his body, pretending to be clothes. He was filthy, and his chest was so deflated that only his empty skin was left.
As for the youngest one, his face was so thin that there was no flesh at all, and his eyes were frighteningly big.
It was a family of three. At this moment, they were hugging each other, trembling as they were surrounded by tall and strong waiters.
"What's wrong? Who are these people?" Lin Daiyu felt a little better, but when she saw the family of three, she was startled.
"A farmer who came here to open up wasteland." William glanced at them and looked away. He waved his hand and signaled for the waiter to drive them away. "It's common."
When she saw these peasants, she always thought of the poor people in China. She whispered, "Sir, are the peasants having a hard time?"
When William saw that the thorns were almost cut down, he asked her to get in the car and casually said, "That's about it. It was even worse before. There used to be some public land in the countryside, but it was later forcibly occupied by the monastery of the Church of God, but the incense money of the Church of God did not decrease at all. During the banquet, I heard that the third-level bosses here, including the local farmers, destroyed the local monastery. The priests were either killed or chased away. "
"What about them?" Why do they still look so poor?
William smiled. "My lady, after the banquet, the Church of God returned. They lost half of their land, but didn't they still raise a large group of monk soldiers and collect 10% of the incense money? Cough, if it wasn't for His Majesty Allen returning to Luster and acknowledging the established facts during the banquet, the Church of God restrained a little … Hmph, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to grow this thorny land. "
When he said that "the Church of God lost their land, didn't they still collect 10% of the incense money", his tone was quite angry. When he said that "His Majesty Allen returned to Luster", he was quite fascinated.
During this time, Daiyu had been thinking about why Allan I ordered her to be escorted to Bona.
When she heard the words "return to Luster", she suddenly remembered the "banquet countercurrent" that she had pieced together from people's mouths in the past few months. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. She only hoped that Sir William would say a few more words.
But after Sir William finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had said too much. He stopped talking and only urged her to get on the carriage.
The convoy continued to speed forward.

"Banned from 'The Iron Throne'?" The owner of the Rose Theater was dumbfounded as he waited for the ban.
There was not a single empty seat in the luxurious lounge of the Rose Theater. All of them were waiting for 'The Iron Throne'.
The audience of the performance.
He had paid for all of this!
If he ran out at this time and said sorry to these young masters, ladies, masters, and madams, he would not perform today. That would be equivalent to offending half of the nobles in the City of July!
He was afraid that this theater would not be open in the future.
Looking at the sweat on Old Leslie's bald head, Hathaway, who came to deliver the decree, said slowly, "Don't be anxious.
"Don't worry, you're not the only one who's been banned."
"My lady," Mr. Leslie smiled bitterly, "But there has to be a reason for banning, right? I … I really can't afford to offend him. "
"You can't afford to offend His Majesty." Hathaway knocked on his shoulder, "For the sake of our many years of friendship, I specially came to you. The other theaters sent their maids. "
After leisurely giving out her warning, she helped the maidservant into the carriage and went home after instructing the servants.
However, before they reached home, they saw a few maids running out of the door in a panic.
"Stop." The head maid next to Hathaway caught the look in her mistress' eyes and stopped the maids. "Look at how flustered you are. Is this appropriate?"
The maids could only tremble and bow their heads, "My, my lady …"
Accompanying their greetings were excerpts from "The Iron Throne" that came out of the open door:
"Bear to gouge out the heart and cut open the abdomen. I will make Lin 'er my royal son in exchange for an endless supply of loyal and good heirs —"
From time to time, accompanied by the singing, there were the coquettish voices of women and men mixed together.
The maids didn't dare to show their magnanimity and only lowered their heads.
Hathaway closed her eyes and suppressed the waves of nausea that were surging up. She sent the head maid in, "Tell him that I'm back."
A moment later, a group of beautiful actors and actresses came out in disheveled clothes. When they saw Hathaway, they bowed politely and ran away like mice hiding from a cat.
A tall and strong man with a full beard was behind them. He hiccuped and staggered out drunkenly. The two rows of mink fur on his hat were crooked, and the silver ring on his crown fell off. Out of the six silver balls, he was playing with three of them in his hands.
The viscount's uniform was worn like a nouveau riche, and there were a few bright red lipstick prints on it.
When the man saw Hathaway, he opened his arms and smiled, wanting to hug and kiss her, "Let's go, little beauty. Here comes the big beauty. Come, come, come …"
Slap.
A heavy slap landed on the right side of his face. Hathaway waved her hand and coldly ordered the maids, "Master is drunk. Take him to drink some hangover soup."
When the maids heard the man compare Hathaway to a group of part-time prostitutes, they were frightened. Only then did they dare to speak, "Yes, yes …"
Immediately, a few of them came forward and pulled the man away to sober up.
The man was angry. He had been on the battlefield. Even if he was drunk and had been drinking for many years, he was still strong. He shook off the maids and walked up to Hathaway. He pointed at her with one hand and raised the other, "Bitch, how dare you hit me!"
The head maid saw that the situation was not good and quickly shouted, "Master, Madam just came back from the palace with an edict!"
She tried to use the emperor and the palace to pressure him, reminding the drunk man that his mistress was not an ordinary woman.
Unexpectedly, this angered the man even more. He snorted, "So what? Haha, who was the one crying and begging to marry me? Your father, your uncle, and your cousin sold you to me! I can do whatever I want! "
"Insulting the royal family." Hathaway said indifferently, as if she was not moved by this. "What is the punishment?"
The man did not buy it. He said with a big tongue, "Less, less! You are my wife. I can hit you however I want! " However, he stopped and slowly took a step back. He stared at Hathaway and grinned, "Hehe, I know you are still thinking about that pretty boy. Today, I burned a letter. Guess who it is? "
The husband was the wife's absolute guardian and owner. All the wife's social actions had to be approved by the husband.
He had the right to check her letters and ask the postal authorities to give her letters to him. He could even destroy them.
Even if, even if this bitch was the emperor's cousin. However, a married woman would follow her husband. Her surname was no longer Luster, but his surname was Brown.
However, Hathaway was not angry at all. She just glanced at him and said indifferently, "Next time before you burn it, take a closer look. Many of my letters are official letters. If you burn the wrong one and make a mistake, I will be implicated, but you will have to bear the main responsibility. "
She asked the maid to help her in. Before entering, she said lightly, "Remember not to play 'The Iron Throne' at home next time. His Majesty had already issued an order to ban this play. As a direct descendant of His Majesty who escorted him back to the palace, you should know how to read the situation, right? "
The man roared angrily. He did not want to stay at home any longer. He immediately called the guard, "Prepare the carriage to go to Lady Annie's!"
As soon as Hathaway entered the door, her legs loosened and her waist went limp. The head maid quickly supported her and gave her smelling salt.
After a while, she finally recovered and fell onto the sofa.
The head maid, Shirley, complained with red eyes, "Really, just to look good, you are tighter than those teenage girls. You are going to faint when you breathe. It makes me worried …"
Hathaway waved her hand tiredly and asked her to stop talking. As the most noble woman in front of her cousin, she had to maintain the perfect appearance of a court model at all times. She could not afford to make any mistakes, even if it was her bra. She could not be as relaxed as those noblewomen who had been married for a long time.
However, Shirley shouted again, "Your hand!"
Hathaway was stunned. She then realized that she had clenched her hand too tightly. She did not know when, but her sharp nails had dug deep into her hand.
Shirley had grown up with her and was a servant. She was very distressed and said without thinking, "Sigh, when we were escaping, how could His Majesty be so cruel to marry you to such a …"
"Shut up!" Hathaway shouted at her. "Watch your mouth. If there is a next time, you don't have to stay by my side. "
After everything was done, Hathaway felt that every muscle in her body was extremely sore and weak. Tiredness flooded her body, both physically and mentally.
She rubbed her forehead and forced herself to stay strong. "Bring me the letters that the nobles have sent me. Julia, what about Abat and Anna? "
A maidservant with a round face cautiously stepped forward. "Madam, the letter has arrived. Anna Lin will be taken to Borna soon. "
Hathaway noticed that she paused for a moment. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Julia hesitated for a moment, then leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"It seems that 'Light' has returned."
