The rain stopped the next day, but the sky was still cloudy.
Kant territory was covered under long-time dark clouds, in the winter the last rainwater is not always willing to depart, over the next several days, this lands should also welcome several times the rainfall of moderate scale, but special product magic medicine of such rich rainwater to territory has the profit extremely.
Majority of magic medicine will also grow in the winter, although their root hair and adult plants presented the appearance of withered death, but Spellcasters knows, their „intelligence adult plant” was still receiving nourishing of mana environment, and will restore the vitality in second year Month of Recovery, but they can grow many in the winter, a large number depended on before the frost and snow arrived at the last rainwater.
Gawain has the breakfast in the dining room and Viscount Victor Kant in castle, because Lady Viscountess is unable to receive guests feebly, Viscount only son not in territory, by big dinner table unexpectedly only then their two people are dining, even though these tableware are magnificent, the delicacies are tasty, the atmosphere of this type of eating breakfast also makes Gawain quite ill.
He likes a that troop person sitting in a circle the atmosphere by table lively, but not like the present, oneself and an aristocrat old man is away from a long table to face each other across a great distance, said that words wish one could to have the time delay the stance.
„Hopes that you in good that in this old house rests,” Victor Kant is cutting the present bread, at the same time opens the mouth saying that „this castle was too old, I prepared the lifetime to make it renovate again a time.”
„Here is very comfortable, compared with comfort that I imagine,” Gawain quite a little insincerely said, „ancient castle gives the security sense.”
Victor smiled, looks to Gawain: „Did your two attendants as if very early in the morning leave?”
„They too do not adapt restrict, I make them go to the town to relax, in chaotic tavern they are instead more comfortable.”
„Can understand, in fact I am young time also likes the tavern exceeding this peaceful castle,” old Viscount holds up the present wine glass, „naturally, before you I is also only a younger generation.”
Gawain raises glass the response, and said freely spoken: „The Lady Viscountess health is very anxious, what sickness is she concrete the fresh?”
Victor's movement slightly cannot look up stops, on the face has hung up the smiling face immediately: „Had you seen her?”
According to the view of that Lilith Kant, should be obviously this old Viscount arranges her whereabouts Gawain to give regards, but at this time Victor actually performance is first time knows this matter likely!
Gawain concealed the psychological change, was maintaining the light smiling face: „After yesterday's supper, she came to give regards to me, but her complexion was very bad.”
„My pitiful Lilith,” Victor Viscount sighed, „her physical condition was not very good, cannot see the sunlight, cannot withstand noisily, can only long time live in the northern tower, only then night can coming out. But she is a very good person, my tolerant manner toward the citizen receives her influence she always to urge me to a great extent consider that these could not live in the good room unable to eat meat the feeling of person, but her body was getting more and more bad.”
Benevolence and tolerance of Viscount Kant to own territory common people, this point Gawain then, when yesterday heard in the castle some servants chatted heard, but this was also one of places made him be surprised: He had judged Victor Kant to be very likely the evil believer of death mission first impressions are most lasting, or at least received the evil believer's control and misleading, will therefore make to arrest the refugee to carry on the matter that the evil meter offers a sacrifice, but he ten thousand has not thought, oneself is praising this old feudal lord after all conversations that entering Kant territory hears!
He is unable to judge itself the chat somewhat truth that listens to from the castle servant mouth, at this time also can only take advantage of opportunity downward said: „Kindly treats citizen is the responsibility of each feudal lord, we initially developed this kingdom to protect the people, but do not ride in their heads abuses power.”
„Yes, what a pity now few people have recorded this point,” Victor's sigh as if from the bottom of one's heart, „more and more aristocrats forgot own ancestor first time to take up the sword for anything, we protected the barrier of common people, is leaning on that let them to live relieved, is guide who eagerly anticipated them to move toward maintains warmth abundantly, but the present majority of aristocrats grow up in the castle and manor, they and consecrated to regard naturally others' taking care, completely forgot also should unexpectedly some responsibility...... cough cough......”
Victor is is a little as if excited, could not bear cough, after returning to normal with great difficulty, he who said grew the tone: „I must spend medicine field inspection of a lot of time each village and every year in territory, to grasp the past crop accurately, preventing the high taxes pressure to make citizen have an empty stomach, moreover must spend many energy to go to and merchants has to do, guaranteed the medicinal herb and grain that in the territory the extra left can find the buyer, like this my citizen can have enough money to repair the house and purchase fuel to winter, but therefore has actually absented so-called ‚upper reaches meeting’, was regarded the odd person who lived in seclusion by these vulgar south aristocrats, mediocre person who has not savored...... Oh.”
Victor Viscount one breath said that said, after knowing, thinks that awkward smiles: „Sorry, after old, has words many customs, but I think that you should be able to understand me, because I heard that you also very much kindly treat citizen.”
„Naturally,” Gawain is smiling raising glass, „this is the duty of each feudal lord.”
......
At the same time, in the town outside castle, Amber is holding one cup to brave the bubble the ale, listens the farmers and artisans who these safes may be was boasting their deficient senseless daily life, on the face are shipping out the appearance that is interested, in the heart is actually preparing also the content that needs how much glass of liquor to trade itself to listen.
The farming had ended, weather not suitable any work of going out, in addition therefore a little rich farmer of spare cash will then kill their not valuable time with the artisan in the tavern in town, Kant territory and Tanzan Town same are one of the Southern Region unusual several wealthy territories, the housing common people here naturally also will frequently patronize such as the tavern and gambling establishment such place, but regarding these people, only needs several glasses of ales and several thinks highly, Amber can draw out their complete secrets.
Regarding mingles among from infancy to maturity this kind of situation Amber, this is a very happy process.
Especially when buys the money of liquor has not needed itself to leave, this feeling is happier.
She puts on an actor that has conformed to the status: The short-sword that black leather armor and slightly the somewhat worn-out cape, in addition the waist once for a while then can poke head in as well as ties up in the wrist/skill „lucky stone”, an image of vagrant soldier is then complete, but the common people are the awe are also curious to this person, the polite talk will become very easy.
The liquor over three patrol, discussed that enough ghost story in farmland and old house, Amber thought that was the time chats the feudal lord, then brought the curious expression was looking to sitting by the blacksmith in table, territory: „I heard that your feudal lords are will govern the person in territory very much, real false?”
„How I do not understand government territory am a matter,” blacksmith spurts the mouthful liquor air/Qi, the look was saying blurry, „, but Victor Lord truly is the excellent person...... The belch, has him, everybody can eat to the full the belly, even if can also eat in the winter half full, the territory may have several years not to starve to death excellently!”
Again toward south, the common people in place not only cannot starve to death, but also occasionally can have the meat to eat.
In the Amber heart was whispering, on face was bringing acclaiming: „That is not simple!”
„, Victor Lord is really not I have seen most charitable feudal lord Lord,” another alcoholic of getting old continued, „I listened to these to deliver the person of vegetables and milk toward the castle in said that castle was very actually gloomy, always one type where in feeling of leaking out......”
Slightly some tavern maidservants of putting on weight bang places in front of the wooden cup the alcoholic: „Do not talk nonsense! The castle is not your broken bushes house, old George who delivers the vegetable was drunk mostly, the cold wind that blew in the morass regards oneself in the castle!”
This fat maidservant said not funny joke, actually caused that roars with laughter.
„That looks like Victor also is really a good feudal lord,” Amber said self-effacingly, „does not know Lady Viscountess is what kind of”
This saying said that scene actually strangely peaceful that flash.
Some people are looking at each other in blank dismay, some people are lowering the head to drink, but the person who got old knits the brows, as if has thought any not good matter, Amber sees that realized immediately this inside has the inside story, then curiously asked: „How? Your how this response?”
„You are people from other place, does not know also normally,” looked like the oldest old person has opened the mouth, he must be a wealthy landlord or already the artisan who retired does not do, in the poor person will have little this age not dead of the wounded and sick old person, but such person not just understood the life of common people, will hear to the matter of feudal lord, „Lady Viscountess...... That feared that had dozens years? She dies......”
„Did Lady Viscountess die? Dozens years ago died?!” Amber is surprised immediately, „how dead?”
„That is a pitiful woman, the entire item matter especially is pitiful, that matter should not happen on a good person.” The old person knits the brows, he seemed not willing saying that but the alcohol made him be hard to control own spoken language, moreover side some too did not understand that the young people of passing matter were also urging him to open the mouth: „Mountain Dru Old Gramps, said that I listen to the person to discuss this matter since childhood, but has not listened to entire you to be old, ought to know that in the past exactly had anything.”
Amber quite appreciated looks at that to send out young people one of the urging, decided to ask the opposite party to drink one cup to own money with Gawain again.
But as if experienced the old person of past event to sigh, after drinking the next liquor, said slowly: „ That is 30...... Probably 30 years ago , is possibly longer, that year was also this month share, rained, but the rain got down especially big, and has gotten down for several days......
„ At that time Victor Lord was young, that time he with the present same is the fair and benevolent good feudal lord, at that time he came back from the next door town inspection barn, Lady Viscountess with him in the same place, their only sons, Young Master Belm. They harness the carriage to catch up from the western road round trip, although rained hard, but they started off...... They should treat in next door town at that time really for day, oh.
„I did not say that you can also guess correctly, then big rain, is slippery, the carriage that certainly must have an accident had an accident that side the old hillside, the car(riage) turned, hits is sliding from the old hillside highest place falls into the mountain stream, the entire car(riage) falls scattered about...... The entire night passes by, nobody knows that the feudal lord whole family had an accident outside, comes out until the next day Sun, the rain stopped time, Lady Viscountess the whole body is the blood appears in the town...... She almost climbs the town, cut and bruised, crying almost must break goes pantingly, she said that she looks helplessly Lord and young master were flung outside the compartment before her, where fell not to know, making us quickly save them.”
The old person spoke of this, could not bear sob, drank the next liquor to continue: „ We escorted the castle the madame, then immediately sends for the old hillside seeking for the carriage and Lord and young master's whereabouts, but entire three days, besides some bloodstains and carriage fragments, we only found the corpses of two horses.
„ Madame daily cries in the castle, oh, that is a good good person, she very much has taken care of the poverty-stricken person in territory, since she married since that day of this place, she must send the firewood and black bread to the poverty-stricken person in the winter of every year, but she actually met this matter. Entire three days, the husband and sons had not been looked, therefore she went crazy finally. According to work the servant after the castle came out said at that time, she closed/pass oneself in room shouts loudly, then rushed to castle each gloomy corner, with her fantasized that the husband and son talked, finally she has shut in herself in the cave of castle north tower finally, drank the toxicant there, had ended own pain.
„Fourth day, Victor Lord and Young Master Belm lived were returning to the castle, they have not died.”
