Chapter 240 The Situation in the City

But one day later, the atmosphere in the city was completely different.

Although the war has been going on for several months, for most civilians, the war is actually a very distant thing, because the two armies have been confronting each other, and no fierce conflicts have broken out.

He was forced to join the army, but the conditions promised during the recruitment were too high. Even if the family lost a lot of labor force, it would be enough to survive.

Of course, war is not a child's play, and people will die, but the pension is not low, so... most people accepted it numbly. There is no war anyway. If you bump into any noble young master and young lady who is unhappy, this miserable life will still be fine.

Nope.

But this time it was different. Like a robber, some people first asked the civilians to hand over all the food in their homes. Of course the civilians were not willing, so they couldn't help but break down the door of the civilians' house and rob them directly.

Those who came from the abandoned avenue of the royal city had evil already engraved in their bones. They laughed heartily while doing such things as robbing.

Not surprisingly, Felissa's small shop opened at the back door of the city lord's palace was violently smashed open and the inside was turned into a mess.

The small object she made from origami was thrown on the ground, and someone even stepped on it several times maliciously, making it completely unrecoverable.

In fact, these are just gadgets she uses to kill time. Even if she doesn't put any thought into them, she still feels very angry.

We couldn't stay in this store for long. Fortunately, Felissa didn't put anything important here, so she quickly left the store without taking anything.

The next question is, should she go home or enter the city lord's mansion to join Vincent.

Felicia hesitated for a moment and finally chose to enter the city lord's palace.

Because it may not be safe to go home, Vincent must at least keep her safe in the city lord's mansion, otherwise they will finish playing together.

She did not go directly to the castle, but walked along the periphery of the city lord's palace, circling closer.

Because everyone in the City Lord's Mansion had almost dispersed, Felissa didn't meet anyone along the way and walked to the side entrance of the castle smoothly.

Go up from this side door, go around a few more turns, and climb a few floors to get to Vincent's study. She had memorized this route from the last time she came here.

Even so, she was still very cautious. She would stop every few steps to listen carefully and look around to make sure that she could find countermeasures in time if an accident happened.

She was so cautious mainly because the castle became so spooky after losing its popularity that Felicia was even afraid of being haunted by ghosts.

She finally moved to the door of Vincent's study step by step. Just as she was about to reach out and push the door open, a force suddenly came from behind and dragged her out of the window.

If she follows this force and falls out of the window, she will become disabled even if she doesn't die.

But she was only surprised for a moment, then relaxed herself and allowed the other party to drag her out of the window.

She recognized these hands, could hear the breathing next to her ears, and could distinguish the heartbeat of the chest she was leaning against.

It's Azarez.

Azarez held her in his arms and jumped up to the tower of the castle in a few leaps. There was a small platform there, but it was only high enough for people to lie flat on it.

Felissa rolled in quickly, followed closely by Azarez.

The two of them were lying on their sides facing each other, and Azarez's hand had no place to rest and could only rest on Felissa's waist.

It was not that they had never slept together before, but Felissa still felt uncomfortable. Her eyes drifted around involuntarily, and finally settled on the buttons on Azarez's chest.

"I……"

"Shh-" Azarez interrupted her, "Don't make a sound, Cress will notice it."

Are you kidding me? The closest room here is more than ten meters away in a straight line. Can Cress hear her speaking in a breathy voice like this?

Felissa didn't believe it, but she didn't refute Azarez. She closed her eyes and got closer to Azarez.

Now that the changes in the city have left her at a loss, she can only draw some sense of security from Azarez.

Azarez seemed to be aware of her low mood, paused, and then hugged her a little tighter.

After an unknown amount of time, Azarez suddenly raised his head and said, "Cress is gone."

Felissa didn't know how he came to the conclusion. She didn't hear anything.

Azarez rolled out a few times and rolled out of the small platform. Felissa waited for a while and rolled out as well. Then she landed firmly in Azarez's arms.

"It's so dirty." She complained. Even if it could be cleaned with magic, she just wanted to take a shower right now.

After the two sorted things out, they went to find Vincent.

Vincent was not surprised at all by their arrival: "Coming?"

Asalez took care of Felissa first as always, then raised his eyes and asked directly: "What did Cress say to you?"

"Can't you guess it all?" Vincent replied lazily, "He lost his temper and asked me to find him quickly."

The two men looked at each other for a few seconds, showing sarcastic smiles at the same time.

Felicia listened quietly. She guessed that Cress was angry because the food he transported was burned. It was reasonable to ask Vincent to find the person as soon as possible. After all, logistics and military supplies have always been a problem.

It is also under the jurisdiction of Vincent.

"How are the maids?" Vincent suddenly turned to Felissa and asked.

Felissa thought for a moment and replied: "Some people have already accepted their fate, but there are still others who don't give up and continue to struggle."

"Oh, really?" Vincent's response was very indifferent, "They can't be bothered for long. They are not strong-willed people in the first place and will soon follow the crowd."

Felissa also thinks so. There is a term called the alpha sheep effect. Under the leadership of Karona, the alpha sheep, they will probably succumb soon. After all, it is difficult for them to survive now.

Counting the time, they should go up the mountain to hunt and find fruits now.

"You guys should stay in the city lord's mansion for the next few days," Vincent said, "it's not safe outside."

This sentence is mainly meant for Felicia. Vincent is not worried about Azarez. After all, Vincent knows the true identity of Azarez. Although the current situation is confusing, it is still under control. Feli

But Sha needed a safe enough place to hide to avoid being affected by the chaos outside.

Felissa glanced at Azarez, waiting for him to make a decision.

Azarez also believed that it would be better for Felissa to stay in the city lord's palace, but he had a condition: "The room should be far away from that madman."

Felissa lowered her eyes, Mary... yes, she is still in this castle.

She didn't know what Vincent was keeping Mary for. According to Vincent's temperament, he should have killed Mary long ago.
