The carts were pushed inside and she saw that there is still fifteen minutes left. "I need to relieve myself."
The other two girls agreed and they rushed to the nearest toilet, did their business and rushed out just in time.
They went to their home that had only two carts and started planning. "We can eat lots of fruits and we can sell some as well. We need probably to pay taxes in this world and it's better if we can do that with their currency."
"Map."
The map appeared and she neared the castle.
Hu dress of people in as it seems heavy gear was strolling trough the castle and many carriages were parked in front of it.
She sighed.
Suddenly she got stunned and neared the picture. The four people leaving the house were alive, but each of them had visibly something broken.
The woman's arm was broken, the man's both arms, and one of the two younger men had one of the legs broken.
It seems they were tortured to say where the treasures were and were at least kept alive.
A man in grand clothes came forward with familiar youth and patted the noble's shoulder.
They were bowing but he stopped them and entered the castle.
The bodies of servants were carried away while nobles were still alive and peachy. No wonder that the gate warned them.
Strangely, no villager was shook as they had no idea what happened in the castle. They continued their daily life as it is.
Anna sighed. "Commoner life is just this much. A place on the cart on the way back home."
The girls saw that carts with the dead bodies were taken to the village and just then the villagers raged.
The scariest thing is not a noble, then enraged group of common people that cry injustice.
They literally gathered around the castle and saw the man in grand clothes.
They started bowing and listened to his words.
But are words enough to calm parents' hearts?
Are words enough to stop the aggrieved mother's mind?
The King saw that the hundreds of people were still angry and turned his head to call the nobles out.
The three men were literally beaten black and blue and it was visible that they suffered as well.
After lots of talking, the villagers scattered and the nobles bobbed slowly back into the castle.
Yes, they could have dealt with villagers with strength, sword and blood, but they chose first to talk.
Seeing that they were really attacked and couldn't do anything to stop it. the villagers could only wail for their fate and go back home to bury their relatives.
Anna Gale sighed. "No wonder that that boy said we shouldn't go anywhere near next one month. This situation really isn't the best possible to go now."
Suddenly she saw a few people getting in horses and riding... towards them.
She glanced at the bunch of things in their carts and rubbed her head.
"If I could push these things into the gate and get a shorter time tomorrow I would be the happiest."
*Ten minutes exchangeable for thirty minutes tomorrow. Agree?"
She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Agree."
Two bags with fruits and vegetables were taken out as they wanted to cook and all stuff that shouldn't be visible was pushed into the living room from Mrs. Stevenson.
Including her mattresses and all the pots and bowls in the corner.
They hid all the items that were too much and the girls hid the two bags upstairs.
Just as Anna Gale calmly came out and acted like she was going for firewood, four riders appeared near her new home and she blinked at them in astonishment.
And the price goes to the girl in whatever world, she just acted to survive. And she will continue as there is no other way. She knew from all the movies that honest people died faster...
One rider was, as expected, the young men and the three other were men in armor as his personal guards.
She held firewood in her hands and blinked at them. "Huh? Are we evicted? We can't stay in this house?"
The young man jumped from the horse and brought her the bundle of clothes she gave him. "Keep your father things."
He winked at her and she looked at her full hands. With a pout, she turned around and was about to call when the door went open and Michelle poked her head out. "Sister..."
She stopped speaking as she saw him. "Oh... you..."
The young noble pushed the clothes into her hands and pinched her cheeks. "Yes... me."
He turned his head towards now solemn girl that looked at him clothes with furrowed eyebrows.
As it seems she was not dumb. "I didn't introduce myself last time. Count Sano. Given name, Manfred."
Anna Gale calmly put the firewood into the house next to the door and turned to him. She saw on television how everyone bowed so she did the same.
How was it?
Left leg back or right leg back?
Oh never mind.
Anna Gale put her left leg behind the right and curtsied. "This commoner's name is Gale. Given name Anna. This is Michelle and the one peeking around the corner is Alice."
He was stunned by her move.
Not many knew about this thing, especially not commoners. Who are these girls actually?
He felt like he poked into great secret and made the decision to protect them, no matter what.
His eyes flashed as he spoke. "As you and your sisters saved my life, he gave you permission to stay in the house. Our country laws do not permit commoners to own land, but we will give you permission to live here for free as long you want. The house and everything in the house belong to you."
She suddenly remembered something. "Can we get one more plot of land and permission to keep things we hunt. I know usually those things shouldn't be hunted, but just in case I do get a chance to capture an animal or two, can... can I keep it?"
Asking this was a must as she heard that in past poachers were killed or hanged.
No matter male or female...
