Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Well, calm down. We are just travelers passing by. Seeing that it is getting late, we thought we could stay here for a night. There is no bad intention."

"Eh? Is...is that so?"

After hearing Lu Ren's explanation, the girl dared to open her eyes, but when she saw the gryphon behind them, she was still a little scared.

"That griffin..."

"That's my pet. It's very well-behaved and won't hurt anyone casually. You can rest assured."

After that, Lu Ren touched Xiaoyi's head again, and seeing how docile it looked in Lu Ren's hands, the girl felt a little relieved.

"Yes... yes, that makes you laugh. Are you staying overnight? Wait a moment, I will ask my master."

Then the girl trotted back to the house. Seeing the other person's back through the little devil's eyes, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a country of girls and flowers, and any maid was so cute. If Lu Ren gave up his bottom line, wouldn't he? Isn't it possible to build one here...

But then Lu Ren felt a few glances, and she knew who it was without having to think about it. Lu Ren, who had a glow on his back, cleared his throat, pretending that nothing happened, and waited patiently for the other party's reply.

Not long after, the girls came running all the way.

"Everyone, just wait. My master has agreed to let you stay for one night. Please come with me."

As she spoke, the girl opened the iron door and welcomed Lu Ren and his party in.

After placing Xiaoyi and the carriage in the stable in the yard, Lu Ren also specifically told Xiaoyi not to cause trouble, and at the same time threw him a lot of meat, so that there should be no problem, and then in He followed the girl into the house.

After entering the house, the girl led Lu Ren and the others to the lobby. At this time, a very elegant-looking middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa holding a cup of black tea, waiting for the arrival of Lu Ren and the others.

After Lu Ren and the others sat down, she asked other maids to serve Lu Ren and the others tea, and began to introduce themselves.

"I just mistakenly thought you were members of the Queen's Guards, which made you laugh. Let me introduce myself. My name is Isola Bamri. I am the owner of this house. It is an honor to meet you."

"No, I would also like to thank you for letting us stay for one night, otherwise we would have to sleep outdoors again."

While Lu Ren and Isola were being polite to each other, Amy on the side fell into deep thought after hearing each other's name. Then she took out a shabby booklet, which was left to her by her mother. , recorded some things about the Kingdom of Iris. After all, Amy was too young when she left Iris, and she could no longer remember many things, so she could only rely on the things recorded on it to recall.

"Bamri...could it be that you are the Grand Duke of the North, Isola Bamri himself?"

Amy said in surprise after flipping through the book, and Isola was shocked after hearing this. Even the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Amy, do you know her?"

Lu Ren was still asking Amy, but Isola looked at Amy with some trembling.

"You...who are you? Why do you know these things?"

Faced with Isola's question, Amy raised her head, looked at the other party, and after hesitating for a while, she finally spoke.

"My name is Amy Crorecia. Maybe you don't remember it, but my mother, Tina Crorecia, once served you as a Lily Knight, and I have also been to your mansion. inside."

Of course, there is no comparison between that time and this time. When Amy was a child, under the leadership of her mother, she was fortunate enough to attend a banquet involving the Bamuri children. At that time, the Bamuri family lived in a luxurious palace, not like today. A remote lonely house.

And Amy also thought that the other party had died a long time ago. After all, it was said that there were no survivors in that war, so Amy couldn't help but be very surprised when she saw Isola today.

"Really, that's it. You are Tina's daughter. I still remember her face. She is a loyal warrior."

Hearing Amy's answer, Isola also fell into memories. At that time, she was one of the most prominent people in the Kingdom of Iris. She had many strong men under her and was one of the four dukes of Iris. But now, Everything has changed. Although she was lucky enough to have a deposit and retain a mansion and the service of servants, she lived in fear all day long. The Queen's Guards were always watching her, which made Isola very annoyed.

But fortunately, the content of their current conversation will not be leaked. The surrounding rooms have been protected by Isola's magic. The Queen's Guards cannot overhear their conversation, otherwise Isola will be afraid tomorrow He was about to commit suicide at home.

"The Grand Duke of the North? Amy, didn't you say that the Grand Duke of the North was the queen's lover? And didn't he die in the battle?"

Hearing Amy's words, Lu Ren recalled the information about the Iris Kingdom that she had heard before, and couldn't help but have some questions. But when she asked, she suddenly thought that as a noble duke, someone would definitely take over after he died. Such a simple truth, I actually didn't think of it for a while.

"Indeed, I was just a branch of the Bamri family in the beginning. Originally, I had nothing to do with the title of Duke of the North. But since Karen Bamri, who was the Grand Duke of the North at the time, died in the battle, I was lucky enough to Climbed to this position and became the only survivor of the massacre..."

Speaking of this, Isola's eyes seemed to flash with fire. It was a terrible night, and the cries and desperate voices of countless nobles surrounded her mind. If it weren't for Isola's relationship with the Bamuli family and the queen, and if Isola was the first person to surrender to the queen, I might not even be able to save her head.

In the eyes of the crazy queen, all nobles will be wiped out, even her relatives. And Isola was lucky enough to survive. Even if she survived until now, Isola was not free. As long as something happened, she might be killed by the Queen's Guards.

Moreover, in the new Iris Kingdom created by Queen Mary, there is no room for her to survive.

"That's all, it's all in the past. Don't talk so much anymore. You must be hungry, right? I've already asked someone to prepare something delicious for you. If you don't suggest it, let's have dinner together."

As if unwilling to think about the past, Isola shook his head. Lu Ren also knew that as a survivor of that war, the other party must not be willing to recall those terrible memories. Even if Lu Ren has not experienced it, he has never experienced it. Judging from the information I heard from various sources, it was not a good memory.

In the evening, Lu Ren asked Amy to learn more about the "Blood Lily War" that happened ten years ago. After listening to Amy's words, Lu Ren also became more aware that there were many innocent people in this war. 's death.

For example, the group of nobles led by the Duke of the North who were loyal to the queen, but in the end, the queen's target was all the nobles. Even these loyal ministers, she would kill without fail. She would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go. These people were forced to stand on the opposite side of the queen. Even the former capital of Iris Kingdom and the Flower City were directly razed to the ground by the queen, and among the nobles entrenched in it, except for Isola, none of them Didn't survive.

Even the queen's cousin, Elizabeth Everett, who was only about one year old when she was forced to the throne by the nobles, was almost killed. Fortunately, a divine knight tried his best to protect her and survived. , and to this day, these two people are still exiled in a border village. They are not allowed to leave without the queen's permission, otherwise they will be killed.

Speaking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, politics is harmful to people. Fortunately, she is not interested in these things and will not participate.

It's just that sometimes, you don't have to go if you don't want to...
