There was a clang and the arrow feathers stuck in the tree made a sound.

“”Ah!”

A girl screamed from the front.

Richard was stunned and felt a little strange.

This was his own territory, and even if hunters from the surrounding villages wanted to enter the mountains, they had to report to the lord and organize a hunting team. Only after registration could they go to the designated area.

And this forest could not be given to any hunter.

So how could someone appear here?

And it sounded like a girl?

He walked forward curiously, and the guards around him followed him, just in case.

Richard used his longbow to push aside the grass and looked down, and immediately found a girl covered in dust sitting on the ground with a look of shock on her face..

Above her head, an arrow was stuck tightly on the tree trunk, and the arrow feathers were still shaking.

The girl had a pair of slender legs, revealing a healthy breath, which made her look particularly attractive. Her bare feet had her toes slightly curled up because of nervousness.

Her whole body exuded an aura that could cause male hormones to burst.

In an overturned fruit basket at hand, berries were scattered all over the ground, which once again portrayed her embarrassment.

However, the girl’s gray face immediately suppressed Richard’s slightly fluctuating emotions.

What a devilish figure and a plain face.

Richard frowned, looked down at the girl and said:

“Who are you and what are you doing here?”

Richard thought he was not a good person, but he would not easily let down his guard in front of a stranger. Who knows what people in this world will do.

In previous lives, people did extreme things because of hatred for the rich, let alone this world.

It’s always right to be careful and ask clearly.

So his voice also sounded a little stern.

Under such questioning, the girl was like a frightened deer, and answered in a low voice:

“I, my name is Cinderella, the count’s daughter, and I came to the forest just to pick some berries, please forgive me!”

“Cinderella?”

Richard held his chin up, feeling that the name seemed familiar.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Isn’t this Cinderella?

Good man, what kind of fantasy world is this? Is it connected to Cinderella’s fairy tale world?

The earl’s daughter, Cinderella, no, should I confirm it again?

So he looked at Cinderella:

“Are you the count’s daughter? I don’t think you are!”

Cinderella was terrified and said quickly:

“You must believe me, I would never dare to deceive you!”

Richard sneered, and then said:

“The Earl’s daughter needs to come out to pick berries by herself? And she doesn’t even have a guard?”

He knew Cinderella’s background, and he asked this to get confirmation.

Cinderella bowed her head and said:

“My mother passed away long ago, and my father is indeed an earl. I only have a stepmother and two sisters in my family!”

Hearing this, Richard immediately understood.

At this time, he carefully observed the girl’s appearance and found that as her tears flowed, the dust on her face was washed away, revealing her fair skin.

Such a face, coupled with the deadly and unscientific long legs, is simply a feast for the eyes!

I don’t know how Cinderella, who was forced by her stepmother to do rough work, maintained such a good figure and such smooth skin.

Then, Richard stretched out his hand in front of Cinderella.

She was slightly stunned and said in disbelief:

“Have you forgiven me?”

Richard smiled slightly, then returned to his expressionless look:

“Get up!”

Cinderella stretched out her hand with surprise, letting Richard pull her up.

“Thank you, sir. Cinderella will leave first!”

She said carefully, then bent down to pick up her fruit basket and prepared to pick up the berries on the ground. However, Richard’s next words made her freeze in place.

“Did I tell you to leave?” Richard said coldly.

Cinderella’s face turned pale instantly:

“you……”

“I don’t think I’ve introduced myself to you yet.” Richard walked up to her and said,”My name is Richard, the second son of Duke Gewen, and the new lord of Long Eagle Territory, Viscount Richard. Do you understand?”

“”Understand… Understand!”

Cinderella didn’t know why Richard said this, but she knew that a powerful viscount with a territory would not dare to provoke the other party even when her father, the nominal earl, was alive.

“I’m sorry, Lord Viscount, I didn’t know your identity just now. Cinderella really knows that I was wrong!”

Richard said with a smile:

“Since you know you are wrong, you should also understand that if you make a mistake, you must be punished! This is my territory. Picking berries on private territory without my permission is theft!”

Before Richard finished speaking, Cinderella collapsed to the ground.

She knew the seriousness of the crime of theft. Previously, someone in Nuremberg committed theft and was sentenced to death by sword. After the death by sword, the body was tied to the wheel and slowly rotted, and was not allowed to be buried.

The words engraved on the wall around the execution ground also floated in her mind at the same time.

[When the subjects see the executioner’s glittering sword, they should think that it is a sacred sword, the sword of the ruler. And I don’t want to be a rebel, but let the executioner do what the king entrusts him to do. – John Wagner]

Thinking of this, she trembled with fear and fell to the ground, kissing Richard’s shoes with her lips:

“I don’t want to die, please, you must be the most magnanimous person! I am willing to atone my sins, be your servant, and work like a cow or a horse for you!”

Richard pulled her up again and threw her a handkerchief:

“Go to the river and wash your face, then follow me back to the city!”

Cinderella hurriedly held the handkerchief in both hands, and thanked repeatedly in shock:

“Thank you! Thank you! I will definitely do my best!”

At Richard’s signal, a squire followed, on the one hand to prevent the other party from escaping, on the other hand to prevent Cinderella from encountering danger by the river, and to help her check the river water.

When Cinderella came over after washing her face, her clean skin and delicate facial features made people feel that the previous sense of disharmony had completely disappeared.

Such a face is worthy of such an excellent figure, so as not to fall into the reputation of a back killer.

The group walked along the way to the direction of the Eagle Castle.

Richard was in a good mood because he had picked up such a fairy tale beauty, had a harvest in hunting, and had strengthened his body.

But Cinderella’s mood was very complicated.

She didn’t expect that she just came out to pick wild fruits as usual, but she became the servant of Viscount Richard.

Perhaps it was because she was too closed to the news that she didn’t know that this previously uninhabited place was suddenly taken over by a viscount.

But no matter what, the matter has become a foregone conclusion.

Although she lost her identity as the earl’s daughter, she also got rid of the control of her stepmother, Mrs. Temani!

She silently wished for her future in her heart.
