"Boss, bring it back, this kid has a lot of gems on his body, except for the bag that he just took from the rich family's daughter's bag, he has gems and gold coins hidden all over his body.
Thump.
The saki-tied horse was thrown to the ground by the robbers, and two bags of gems of perfect color and different colors were presented to everyone.
"Tut-tut, that's amazing."
The bandit leader behind Elena let out an incomprehensible laugh.
"Isn't that gem my favorite heart-shaped gem, a week ago I thought it was lost, it turned out to be in your possession, why didn't you find it and give it back to me" Elena couldn't help but ask, although her father told her not to speak for the rest of the day, hoping that she could see Saqima's face clearly, but unfortunately her self-control was so poor that she couldn't help but speak out when she saw what she had lost.
"No, you're mistaken, I picked it up, but I forgot about it because I was so tired from traveling, and I picked it up in the carriage not long ago."
Saqima argued that even though he had been caught, he wanted to appease Elena and keep her from suspicious.
With the strength of Elena Emerald Country, after getting the news, she will definitely come to redeem her desperately, and as a servant, Saqima will also have the opportunity to return to the Emerald Country, and then start pleasing her again.
"Yes, that's the case, I thought it was hehehehe" Elena looked uneasy, she just thought that those people who pretended to be robbers deliberately stuffed in to frame Saqima, and even almost forgot her father's instructions to tell the truth about the robbers around her.
The people around pretending to be robbers were all temporarily borrowed by the king of the Emerald Kingdom from a lord who had a fairly good relationship in the Star Asia Empire, in order to remove Saqima's mask so that Elena could see what kind of guy this person had been coaxing her was actually like.
"But you are really magnanimous as a master, and the number of gems that the servant carries is incomparably different from that of the master, are these all unintentionally lost by you or rewarded by you?"
The bandit leader behind him questioned again, his task was to pick the bones from the eggs, find out all the problems in Saqima, and let him tell his true purpose.
Since ancient times, the best way to test the relationship between two people is crisis, only when the crisis comes, the essence of people's hearts will be revealed, and the brilliance of the soul will bloom with the most original light.
However, the sense of crisis given to Saqima at the scene did not seem to be enough, and he couldn't help but not answer the questions directly, and even his tone began to become very tough.
"What qualifications do you have to ask us, this girl in front of you is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Emerald Country, dare to hold her hostage, you just wait to be surrounded and suppressed" "Princess of the Emerald Country, should I be very scared and kneel down and ask for your forgiveness" There was no fear in the voice, only banter, and even deliberately stepped forward and grabbed Elena's waist, and the other hand was still held on the long knife at the waist, who took the initiative can be seen at a glance.
In order to be more realistic, the person who played the robber was completely substituted into the role, and even the murderous aura came out, which made Saqima break out in a cold sweat.
"Listen, robbers are scum who live with their heads pinned to their waists, no matter who falls into our hands, don't think about a good end, princesses, princes, nobles, and rich people are money and women in our eyes, and other than that, it's nothing else, this unplanted thing is dragged down by Lao Tzu to bury things that have no use value, and it is a waste of food to bring them back" "No, no, no" Elena subconsciously took the order seriously, and immediately nervously wanted to run up to protect the person she liked, but the bandit leader behind her held her tightly and prevented her from moving freely.
Hearing that he was about to be buried alive, Saqima panicked and immediately struggled desperately, but as far as an ordinary person could do, he was immediately picked up and walked quickly towards the sparse woods on the side of the road.
It's really going to die No, I can't die, I can't die, there are still good years waiting for me to enjoy, I can't die yet "I still have use value, I still have use value, don't kill me, I still have use value" Saqima cried out in horror and despair, finally giving himself a glimmer of hope for life.
Of course, this is all arranged, just waiting for Saqima to be hit.
"Say, what information do you have to exchange your own life, otherwise you will be thrown into the mountains like those corpses that have been taken away to feed the wolves" "I said I said" Frightened, Saqima hurriedly said: "I have hidden a bag of gold coins at the bottom of our carriage, which I got from selling some of the princess's clothes, and there are three gems in the carriage, which I have just found in my hands before I have time to put away."
"How can I have clothes that you have sold" Elena felt a little puzzled, her clothes were in the carriage, and she had checked them when she set off in the morning.
"It's those buried in the wreckage when they were attacked a few days ago that they can actually be worn if they are mended, anyway, you don't care about that money, I lied to you that you were going to take it and throw it away, but in fact you took it and sold it."
Elena, as the princess of the Emerald Country, which is rich in gemstones, basically all her clothes will be inlaid with various gemstones, and she can exchange them for a lot of money if she sells them.
"Why do you want money, I can give you all the money and gems on me if you want money, why are you lying to me" The successive appearances of Setant, Lu Li and others, the arrival of the king of the Emerald Country, and the appearance of pretending to be a robber are all to reveal the true face of Saqima, and when the matter comes here, Elena really can't say it if she doesn't wake up.
The loss of the heart-shaped gem, the inexplicable extra gem, and the behavior of Saqima running away just after she left her, all show that Saqima actually has a big problem.
"Of course you were born in the royal family and don't understand the taste of poverty, because you have no money, you can't eat food or even water, you can even go back to get money and then spend lavishly when you run away from home and have no money, so I want to climb into your princess and become a member of the royal family, as long as you become a member of the royal family, you won't be hungry even in times of famine" That's why Saqima was so close to Elena, and that's why he kept taking Elena's gem with him.
Just as some people who were often poor fell into a state of frugality from time to time after their successes, Saqima was in the habit of stealing other people's property in exchange for food when he was a child.
With this explanation, Elena also understood that Saqima just saw her as a staircase to a rich life, and didn't really like her.
"It turns out that your kindness to me is all fake" Holding back her from crying, Elena was so scared that she would subconsciously throw herself into Sachima's arms and beg him to take back what she had just said.
"It's all for survival, and to live well, for myself, I will do anything, just like you and that Young Master Lu that day" Saqima had no intention of repenting for his actions, but instead had a natural expression, but when he saw Elena's tearful face, he found himself speechless.
Not only that, but there was a hint of colic in his heart, as if something was about to tear open his heart.
Note: The Emerald Kingdom has suffered from the malicious price increase of some merchants of Xingya, causing the people to enter a state of famine for half a year, and some people even colluded with the border to not allow any letters and people to enter Xingya, so that the Xingya royal family could not get the news in time.
The news finally arrived, and all the families and border soldiers who participated in the malicious price hike at that time were hanged, without exception.
The overlord country that will not treat the subject country well will definitely lose the country in the end, not to mention that the Emerald country is also rich in all kinds of gems, so you can't just throw it away.
However, many people like Saqima developed some values and worldviews that should not have been established during that famine, and many things that should not have happened
