Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 273 6.21 Elizabeth’s Despair

In the fields less than two kilometers away from Wanghai Fortress, there is a plantation called "Fischer Farm" which is famous throughout Mercia for growing grapes and apples.

Relying on the huge profits brought by the sweet fruits, the owner of the plantation built a huge manor covering an area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters.

At this time, the manor had been requisitioned by the English coalition forces. The combat leaders of the coalition: "Ecbert", the Lord of Wessex, "Aelle III", the Lord of Northumbria, "Llanshaw", the Lord of Kent, "Lancero", the Prince of Mercia, etc. All gathered here.

It was pure luck that they didn't stay in Wanghai Fortress and be caught in one fell swoop.

On the night when Loki led his troops to attack Wanghai Fortress, some of them were leading the army slowly, delaying their entry into the fortress; some of them took a relatively distant road because they needed to raise food and grass resources.

Some people were late for the meeting simply because they lingered with their lover for two extra days.

Among the royal families who swore solemnly in the city of Oxford that they would use all their strength to fight the Vikings to the death, only Mercia's own "honest man" Elam settled in Wanghai Fortress on time.

Now, only Elan himself was surrounded by the Vikings who suddenly appeared in the castle.

As soon as the war started, the Vikings had already taken down the first stronghold. This is a very passive situation, but there is no dull atmosphere in "Fisher Farm" at this time.

The high-ranking nobles of the coalition forces were gathering in the magnificent "tea hall" of Fisher Manor, and servants brought freshly brewed black tea and fresh milk.

The servants in the kitchen even prepared exquisite refreshments for the princes and nobles. The owner of the farm, Harvey Fisher, was wearing a decent velvet variegated coat to greet these monarchs, whom he had rarely seen in his life.

In order to please this rare group of distinguished guests, he even hired the "Morrie House Magic Juggling Troupe" from Oxford overnight to stay in the manor and provide tea time entertainment for the monarchs.

This is the shrewdness of businessmen.

Harvey knew that during the time these gentlemen stayed at the manor, all he spent was small sums of money. As long as he can become familiar with the heads of the seven countries, he will have thousands of ways to extract hundreds of times the profits from their pockets.

Holding the exquisite porcelain cup, Mr. Harvey raised his orchid fingers. He had just pinched the exquisite handle of the cup and before he had a chance to take a sip, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from his ears.

The sudden rough sound brought the troupe of sleight-of-hand and transforming magic tricks to a standstill. In the silent silence, a blond girl wearing a plain white dress rushed to the center of the tea room, pushed aside the magicians, and stood at the highest position of the performance stage.

"You guys still have the nerve to drink tea and watch magic shows here?"

"On the day of the alliance, all of us solemnly swore in front of the Holy Cross that we would become allies and survive the disaster! But now, my old father is detained in the castle by the Vikings, and you are here drinking tea and listening to music all day long! "

The girl in white who suddenly appeared was naturally Elizabeth, who was already furious. Unlike the princesses and princes who learned royal etiquette from an early age, Elizabeth has not attended school for a day since she was born.

Everything about her was given to her by the mysterious "Mother" in the Church of Light.

After finishing her studies every morning, she never participated in any social activities among nobles such as "polo", "fencing" and "afternoon tea".

She dedicated most of her life to orphans in orphanages and elderly people living alone in slums.

Therefore, compared with the "normal" nobles, Elizabeth has a lot more wildness that belongs to the common people.

"You don't want to ignite the flames of war within your country's homeland, and use the unreasonable excuse of 'Mercia's navy is unmatched in the world' to force the use of our country's Wanghai Fortress."

"My dad didn't say anything, so I tolerated it."

"But what happens next?"

"People, I, Mercia, have the most to offer, not to mention money, food and supplies. You are either excused by the long journey, or you are crying poverty where you are! A little material, extraneous things, I can tolerate it, because my dad, you hang around every day Ellan, the 'honest man' in his mouth, silently shouldered everything."

"But I really didn't expect that for you six wolf cubs, Ulysses Elan, who had spent all his money and spent all his money, would be held hostage in the Overlook Sea Fortress. Three long days have passed. You No one has organized a rescue plan, but they still have the nerve to drink tea, chat and watch a magic show here?

Holy Lord Christ, what kind of wolf-hearted monsters are you? ! "

The words the girl yelled out at the top of her lungs could be said to have used up all the vicious words she could think of. She originally thought that the king and generals would at least give her some response.

Even if there was no response, at least they expressed a certain degree of attention, which she could accept.

However, she still overestimated the thickness of the king's skin.

"Little sister, have you ever thought that your father is probably dead?"

"Dead? Didn't you see the people who were released from the city by that Viking lord? He couldn't bear to kill the people again, how could he kill my father?"

"What's more, quite a few people who left the city have seen that he is still alive!"

Ecbert looked at Prince Lancelot of Mercia. The big shots in the teahouse shrugged their shoulders, and the only reaction they gave was a dry laugh.

Afterwards, they drank tea and chatted as if nothing had happened, and no one took the roaring girl seriously.

The band started playing again, and the jugglers changed their positions and continued to perform. Even the owner of the teahouse, Mr. Harvey, just brought Elizabeth a cup of scented tea soaked with green oranges and rose petals. , without making any other expression.

This episode, which lasted only a few dozen seconds, was like the intermission of a magic show, and was quickly forgotten by everyone.

Two lines of crystal tears fell from the girl's white cheeks.

Until this moment, he finally understood the cruelty hidden behind the seemingly harmless nickname of 'Honest Man'. In their eyes, their father, who has silently made many contributions to England's seven countries, is a servant who can be used and thrown away at any time.

That’s it for other kings and generals.

"Oh my God I can't believe this is real!"

Elizabeth walked to the corner of the house speechlessly. At this moment, she felt that there seemed to be an insurmountable high wall between herself and the English nobles.

When the real war came, she discovered that her brothers, who always talked about heavy words such as honor, responsibility, and obligation, did not even dare to enter the battlefield.

But after she actually came to the front line with the army, when her father became a hostage and her uncle became a vassal, and she tried to shoulder the responsibility of the Kingdom of Mercia on her own shoulders, she discovered that the word "Mercia" had a different meaning in England. It turned out to be this status in China.

The king is captured, and no one even thinks of rescuing him!

After stretching out her snow-white palms and clenching them several times, a touch of determination appeared in the girl's eyes. During her 18 years of growing up, she has helped countless orphans who lost their parents to regain a new life from adversity.

She believed that she would be able to help her father escape from the clutches of the Vikings this time.
