Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Countess Natalie, a girl who is often misunderstood by ignorant people as a widow.

Earl is a title, and lady is a respectful title for gender. Generally speaking, class differences do not make it easy to call noble women ladies, but in a small place like Altdorf, even the lord is just a little prince.

When facing a powerful count with nearly a thousand private soldiers and more than twenty knights as vassals, the city lord only dared to look at the floor with his narrowed eyes.

The girl leaning on the velvet couch holds several pieces of parchment in her hands. The elegant palace calligraphy of Xiujuan shows that the writer has a good family background and can hire a professional to give guidance.

Rou Yi's slender hands poked out from the lace sleeves, pinched the quill on the table with two fingers, put it into the ink bottle and gently squeezed the gallbladder, muttering to herself.

"Well~ I'm going to take her to a place where there are no human traces, lock her alive in a grotto, and give her a little food, which is just enough for us to atone for our sins..."

After the quill absorbed the ink, the girl stood up and sat upright. Xiujuan's brows tightened like a lily in bud, and she stretched the pen half a centimeter away from the parchment, but she still didn't finish writing.

It seemed that the writing of this exquisite story had come to an end, but I was worried that the final result would taint this extremely tragic drama, so I could only moan incessantly.

After a long time, the girl finally gave up and stared at the parchment for a long time, watching this incomparable tragedy again.

A helpless girl who faced the king in order to bury her brother. She had no one to help her, and she didn't need anyone's help, just because she had already decided to die.

Natalie, who gave up writing, threw down her quill in a sulky tone, hugged the plush doll on the sofa, buried her delicate and pretty face behind the big bear, and spoke vaguely.

"Kunov, why do you think you can come up with such a tragic story? Obviously there are countless heroes in the history of the empire who are not afraid of sacrifice, but their feelings for me are not as deep as Antigone's. She just wanted to let her brother sleep peacefully." It’s just a girl…”

While the countess was distressed by the story, an untimely cough came from the door.

"Countess, please pay attention to the etiquette in your words and deeds. You should not be so concerned about the story told by a liar, especially when this liar is selling theater tickets in your name and fooling ignorant people, you should keep a distance from him."

The stern head maid made Natalie pouted and covered the face of the stuffed bear. It was obvious that Antoine painted Ainati very vividly, but you all only called him a liar.

Depressed Natalie decided to do something willful. "Today's banquet is cancelled. I don't want to see those eyes full of lust..."

When the head maid wanted to persuade you that as a prominent nobleman of Altdorf, you should maintain friendly relations with various families, Natalie stuck her head out and said with some lack of confidence: "Also, you have to find Antoine quickly. , every time this story reaches its climax, you let the dog drive him away. I am the countess, or you are the countess."

For the young Natalie, the head maid could only caress her fur like a cat and promise to invite Antoine as soon as possible, but the Countess might host the banquet.

But Antoine, who was the subject of discussion in the Earl's Mansion, encountered a problem at this time. Two ferocious vicious dogs that were half as tall as a man were baring their teeth and roaring menacingly.

I rubbed the back of my head and felt a little confused. The last time I saw these two brothers, they were only at shoulder height and thigh level. Why haven't we seen each other for a month? They were only waist high. That's wrong...

As the two vicious dogs straightened their bent hind legs, Antoine swallowed subconsciously.

To the chest.

He really wanted to ask the law enforcement captain next to him, is the food your dog feeds gold?

Ainati reached into the iron bars, stroked the vicious dog's head, stared at Antoine and gave cold orders. "Evil dog, how can you treat your master like this! If you don't obey, you will eat dog soup at the Earl's Mansion tonight."

The vicious dog didn't dare to show its teeth anymore, and the bulging muscles on its face immediately relaxed, and it tilted its head and actively rubbed its owner's big hand, just to get a little attention.

Unresponsive to Ainadie's hint, Antoine nodded in agreement: "Well, I am very good at cooking dog meat. If the countess wants to experience the flavor of ordinary food, please allow me to give these two young men a warm bath first. Take a water bath to remove body impurities, use a fire made of pine wood to cleanse the hair, peel the skin and extract the bones with turmeric, onions, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg..."

Antoine's eyes flashed red as he talked about the cooking techniques. He hadn't eaten meat for a month since he was chased away by the head maid, and the two brothers had plump bodies and strong skeletons, so the meat must be of excellent quality.

Winter is coming, and I, Antoine, have to warm up...

With this thought in his mind, his hand unnaturally reached into the iron fence and reached out to a white dog that had not been poisoned by Ainati.

This dog is a bit interesting, much more ferocious than the dogs in Ulthuan, and should be able to please the Charis trainer...

A slender hand with distinct knuckles suddenly appeared when Antoine was about to touch the vicious dog, and woke up the wandering elf who was starving due to lack of oil and water.

Ainati sighed, being restrained by a fine silver bracelet and still being able to escape, preparing to steal the dog in front of the owner, are you a human being?

"You... forget it, I just hunted a wild boar outside the city the day before yesterday. The countess doesn't like red meat with strong game flavor. You can make her happy later and take it back with you."

Hearing that there was wild boar meat to eat, Antoine glared at the vicious dog and thought to himself, I will attack you next time. Now I will keep it as a reserve ration. When I get hungry one day, I will go directly to the Earl's Mansion to steal the dog.

After receiving the benefit, Antoine was naturally a little shy. Unexpectedly, the law enforcement captain, who was known as ruthless in the city, was quite humane: "Thank you, this wild boar should be enough for me..."

Ainadie waited for Antoine's next words with a hint of amusement. The little knight thought that volunteering at the orphanage was very secret.

Little did he know that if every bit of money he earned had not turned into food for the children to eat, clothing to wear, and charcoal needed to keep out the cold, the Earl's Mansion would not have invited an elf with "bad" character again and again.

"Three days, I have a big appetite. And I think Ms. Ainati's usual law enforcement tasks are too heavy. As a good citizen of Ulthuan, I am sincerely grateful for your efforts..."

Ainati, who crossed her arms and kept nodding, thought that Antoine must have other motives, otherwise he would just point at her and call her a crazy woman and a violent woman.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Unlike Natalie, I don't accept your compliments."

Antoine's hands, which were bound by fine silver bracelets, were held and rubbed. His angular face showed a desire to please, and it was very rare for him to express a consultative tone towards Ainati.

"Since the law enforcement tasks are heavy, could you please take more time to visit your family's hunting grounds for a while? I will be happy to eliminate the red meat and white meat that the Countess does not like." (End of Chapter)
