"Maybe when I talk about my life experience, you will find out that I am actually a bad woman and will no longer have any good feelings for me.Do you still want to hear those stories?
”Lady Arya sat in the carriage softly.
On the soft leather sofa, I hesitated for a long time before I asked me that.I nodded, and when I was at Zimmerman Manor, I had actually found that this Lady Arya was the best of all the women, and at least she could stand in the common room with dignity, not like Lady Jenny and Demy.She took a long sip of the golden cider and watched the remaining liquor on the wall of the glass continue to gather towards the bottom of the glass, with a poignant smile on her face.At this moment, I found that she may be the most real smile in her heart now.Under the dignified, noble, elegant, and luxurious appearance, in fact, there is only a soulless body left, and she pursed her sex slightly.
Feeling lips and eyes fixed on the wine glass, I was silent for a long time before I mustered up the courage to look up into my eyes and said sincerely: "Before that, I want to thank you for your help three times, making me feel that this world is actually not as bad as I thought. ”In Noah's mouth, I knew that Lady Arya was a well-known courtesan in the upper class of the imperial capital, and often appeared at various balls and salons.In Louis's mouth, what I heard was another version entirely, I heard that she was in charge of the largest tailor shop in the north of the Green Empire, as the family of the Babington family left behind in the imperial capital, the compensation given to her by the Babington family was the charm metal plate business of the Babington family in the entire imperial capital, which shows that she must have a huge wealth in her hands, otherwise how could her life be so luxurious?
And in my eyes, she was just an ordinary noblewoman, and I didn't see her in any special way since I first saw her at Zimmermann Manor.Later, they met on an airship, although she and a noble viscount behaved a little ambiguously.
It's ambiguous, but isn't that how the nobles have always lived?
In Green, the nobles control 70% of the empire's wealth, the nobles live a life of fine clothes and food, they don't have to work hard for life, in their leisure time, fresh and feelings are the best spice of life.
The word human is not a derogatory term in Greene.Just like in the current Lady Arya Manor, there are so many young and beautiful maids, it is difficult to say that they will know how to serve people better than those ordinary women whose waists are as thick as buckets, but they definitely know how to serve men better than those fierce women.Like Lady Arya's maid Joan, who was sitting next to me, she had a sweet face, a little shyness when she smiled, her figure was also very tall, her breasts under the white gauze skirt looked very straight, she knelt on the scarlet carpet, took off the leather boots on her feet for me, and massaged my feet and calves lightly, so that I knew that this was not my gentle country, but it was difficult to kick her away.Chanting a short spell, fingertips on his chest.
He quickly drew a simple water-based magic pattern array, and only by mastering the most subtle sense of rhythm could he successfully cast it without having to stop time magic.Hydrotherapy!
Yes, just a simple hydrotherapy technique requires the mage to not only be familiar with spells and spells, but also master the rhythm of spell casting, otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed the next time in the normal state, and for other magicians, there is a chance of failure.A clear water elemental rustled into my body from the top, and the healing water elemental rushed into my body, making me wake up all at once.I lowered my eyes from Lady Arya, and I didn't expect a few suggestive words to make me think of so much."
The last time I told the story of Colin before he died in Angela's many faces, I felt like the happiest woman living in the sun, I had a life of fine food and a man who could fill my whole heart, and I also had a brother who could forgive me no matter what I did wrong, and a godfather who could relieve my countless anguish in my heart.I used to think that even if I didn't become a magician in the Awakening Ritual, I would still be a favorite of the Heavens. ”Lady Arya's face was a little red, and her voice was soft, as if she were muttering to herself.She continued, "But you may not know that in the second year after Colin's death, it was proposed to the Council of Elders of the Babington family that the family's huge rune metal plate business in the imperial capital could not be completely left to a widow. in the hands of women. ”It was as if someone had listened to her things, making the invisible mountain that weighed on her chest a little easier.She recounted: "All the rights I had in the imperial capital were being exploited by the managers of the Babington family, and my living situation became worse and worse, and I began to become terrified every day, fearing that one day they would be driven out of the manor and left with nothing.I have had countless of the same dreams, dreaming that I was walking alone on the road to the mountains on Majaro, and the statues of the heroes on both sides were like countless street lamps, and I wanted to walk alone to the airport, but the road seemed to have no end. ”Her face turned a little pale, it must have been a terrible dream, and even the memory of it would make her so uncomfortable, I listened intently, wondering how Lady Arya had gone through this dark journey at that time.She said: "Later, I dreamed that I saw an airship flying towards the city of El in the airport at the foot of Mount Majaro, but I found that there was not even a copper plate on it, and I begged the manager of the airport to lend me a ticket, and as soon as the airship arrived in the city of Eyre, I would ask my brother to return the money to him in double, but he looked at me with that strange look, and just looked at it like that, without saying a word, and I sat down on the ground weakly and cried.When I woke up, I found tears all over my face. ”It turned out that Lady Arya and Count Zimmerman had such a close relationship, and it turned out that Count Zimmerman was regarded by Lady Arya as the last support.She clutched her chest and said, "Every day I fell into panic, and in those days I began to become sensitive.
Feeling neurotic, I doubt everyone around me. ”Every time Edgar is mentioned, she grits her teeth: "It was at that time that Edgar, Colin's most trusted friend, betrayed me, and he took refuge in the trusted heir of the Babington family, the young upstart Billy.
Babington, secretly informed Billy of all the circumstances of the business in the imperial capital, and with Billy's hint and help, Edgar began to embezzle the assets of the trading house little by little, so that the business of the Babington family in the imperial capital began to decline, and every quarter, I would personally rush to the city of San Carlos to be held accountable by the Presbyterian Church of the Babington family. ”I sighed secretly: the dispute over the rights of the wealthy family and money is the most terrible struggle.She continued: "I never understood what was going on.Later, when I found out that it was the Marquis of Edgar who was behind the trouble, the Imperial Capital Trading House of the Babington family had been riddled with holes, and the parchment scroll that drove me away from the Babington family was already on the airship heading for the imperial capital, and I had no choice, my brother was far away in the Zimmerman Manor in El City, and he couldn't quench his thirst, not to mention that he was just a little earl, and the lord was so low-minded that it was impossible to help me. ”Lady Arya looked at me in a tangled manner, took a sip of golden cider, and her pale face became rosy, and then she mustered up the courage to say, "So I found a big man who happened to return to the imperial capital at that time to report on his duties, my godfather Ryan.
Busman, ask him to come forward and settle the matter.At that time, he returned to the imperial capital from Warsaw to meet Charles the Great. ”"It's him!"
It turned out that the big man standing behind Lady Arya turned out to be the Grand Duke Ryan of the Bussman family.
Bussman, so I asked, "Since it's Duke Ryan, it must be easy to solve this matter?"
”Unexpectedly, Lady Arya actually showed a wry smile: "If time can be repeated, I would rather he hadn't appeared that day, and I was driven out of the imperial capital in embarrassment, Billy.
Babington just wants Colin to stay in the imperial capital, just to get me out of the imperial capital, at least I can return to my home in the north.But my godfather, the Duke, wanted to squeeze me dry with my flesh and bones. ”She bit her lip and forced herself to say this: "Even though he intervened and kept my position in the Babington family, I also gave myself. ”I couldn't help but ask, "But, isn't he your godfather?"
”"So what?
What does it represent?
It was a very fair deal for him, he helped me to keep the luxurious life in the imperial capital, so that I could continue to live a decent life, and I could linger in the upper balls, he just suddenly felt that in his long life, he had tried everything, and wanted to taste the taste of his goddaughter, and in his opinion, even if there were no such things, I should take the initiative to dedicate myself. ”Arya said as she stroked a few strands of loose hair from her sideburns.I was a little bold, I didn't expect this to happen in any world!
She stared into my eyes with an unusually sensitive expression.
Asked with feeling: "Do you look down on a woman like me from the bottom of your heart?"
”Seeing that I didn't answer, my face turned pale again, and I smiled bitterly, showing that loneliness and desolation in my eyes, "Hehe, as I said, when I talk about my life experience, you will find that I am actually a bad woman, and I will no longer have any good feelings for me."
But this is the truest me, a filthy self hidden under the most decent appearance. ”I continued to search for answers, so I asked her, "But then, why did Edgar break into the manor so unscrupulously, and he did such a thing to you, and dug you such a big hole, isn't he worried about Duke Ryan's revenge?"
”Lady Arya said: "Of course Edgar did not dare to lie in front of him, but since that time, my good godfather has returned to the Warsaw plane, where the situation is very unstable, but it is indeed the largest resource reserve of the Bussman family in the next hundred years, and he needs to stay in the Warsaw plane himself, and I will return to the forgotten corner." ”"During that time, even if Ryan was in Warsaw, he would send his entourage to me, and I became one of his many canaries, Billy.
Babington didn't dare to mess with me, not to mention that Edgar was just one of Billy's dogs, and he wouldn't bark casually. ”"In the beginning, I tried to go to the upper ball to find a strong refuge with a sense of justice, and I always ran into a wall, even though I had been cautious, but the matter finally reached Ryan's ears, and Ryan heard that I was trying to get out of control and change all the squires in the manor that belonged to me, and threatened me that if I did not obey him, he would take my brother to the battlefield, he was such an upright knight, and he was even more blindly convinced of Ryan, I will definitely fight for him to the death on the battlefield without hesitation. ”I asked again: "So you chose to give in, or because of your rebellion, you became the most famous courtesan in the imperial capital?"
”Her eyes gradually turned cold, and she no longer seemed willing to talk more, so she said, "Isn't it easy to explain what happened next?"
”I asked, "Later, why did Edgar dare to do nonsense to you?"
”"Dimensional War!"
Lady Arya said: "The situation in the Warsaw plane is the worst among many planes, in those days, it was rumored in the imperial capital that the Warsaw plane demon army had broken through the Kempato River defense line, that line of defense was the last line of defense set up by the Bussman family in the Warsaw plane, once this line of defense was broken, in front of the demon army was a large plain.But at that time, nothing could stop the army of demons. ”I suddenly said: "At this time, Edgar will set a trap for you, just in time for the Angela of the Babington family to be caught in a bitter battle, so you have no defense against this business trap, and you have signed a magic contract?"
”Lady Arya turned her head to look out the window, and only one word came out of her mouth: "Yes." ”I was a little puzzled: "But the news of the victory in the Warsaw Plane War reached the imperial capital a few days ago, why do they still seem to be so unscrupulous to force you to submit?"
”Lady Arya couldn't understand why I wanted to get to the bottom of it, but she told me anyway, "Because we have a magical contract between us, we can't repent as long as we sign it."
Even if most of Angela's multifaceted territory doesn't fall into the hands of the dark forces of the Abyss.
Babington also has the ability to prevent me from obtaining enough Mithril in order to prevent me from fulfilling the magic contract, and the punishment for breaking the contract is often severe. ”I asked, "What's your contract penalty clause?"
”Perhaps because I knew too much, she no longer had anything to hide, and said: "Not only will you pay the full price of the goods, but those who cannot fulfill the contract will also become slaves." ”I widened my eyes and asked loudly, "How dare you sign such a harsh contract?"
”She said helplessly: "There will always be some people who want to be protected, I just hope they can live well." ”I sighed, "Okay. ”She seemed to have been freed from her memories at this time, her face regained her composure, and she said to me: "They thought that Ryan would be bound by the war and would not be able to get out of the Warsaw plane in a short time, so they wanted to force me to comply, but they didn't expect that I could even find a replacement for the Mithril rune plate, so that the magic contract that bound me would have no effect." ”I stopped her from revealing the answer: "Let me guess, Edgar is running around like a lost dog, trying to sell these talismans in order to fulfill the contract.As for why he couldn't fulfill the contract, could it be that Ryan had already returned to the imperial capital from the Warsaw plane?
”Lady Arya nodded at me, a dead gray in her eyes.I stretched out my hand, pressed it on her hand holding the wine glass, and said to her with relief: "In fact, this world has always been like this, it has never changed, but everyone looks at the world from a different angle, maybe you should take a step from the same place, just one step will let you see a different world, although this world is still in the hands of a few rights, but even the slaves who live at the bottom will know how to enjoy life in a moment of rest." ”Her eyes became a little moist, and she asked me a little blankly, "You really don't look down on me?"
”Of course, I wouldn't say to her: I've seen this kind of thing a lot in my last life.Holding her hand, I said to her seriously: "It doesn't matter what other people think, if even you look down on yourself, then you won't have any fun in your future life, in fact, I was born in a civilian family, and I have seen more of the lives of poorer people, you just haven't thought about it, how to find your own life." ”
