Capítulo 4: 004 Private Knight (Revised)
Lionel sat on his horse and looked down at Enoch for a moment before replying, "living, of course."
Enoch breathed a sigh of relief.
Lionel jumped off his horse and joined Enoch in lifting Chad onto the horse, Enoch was afraid she'd fall off her horse and used the rope tie her securely again.
"Father," Enoch suddenly tugged at Lionel's reins before mounting his horse, "You mustn't lie to me, is the Duke going to kill Chad, or is he going to keep him alive?"
"The Duke's mind is not for you or me to guess." Lionel's eyes were cold, "Also, you must call me 'Commander' as much as they do, both in front of people and in private just you and me."
Enoch did not withdraw his hand, but continued to stare into Lionel's eyes, "Commander, you brought Chad up with your own hands, he was like a brother to me, can you really stand by and watch him die?"
For a long moment, there was silence.
After a few more moments, Enoch heard Lionel finally say, "A few moments ago, in Chad's absence, I asked Ray to take his place and serve the Duke as a personal knight, and Ray, being a very clever boy, deliberately upset His Highness with his clumsiness, which reminded the Duke of Chad's cleverness and cleverness." Enoch was completely relieved to hear this.
He turned on his horse and was about to lead Chad forward when he heard Lionel suddenly say, "Wait."
Lionel turned his horse around and tilted his head to meet the eyes of an owl in the snowy forest, a snowy white owl staring up at Lionel with its head cocked.
"One of yours?" He asked Enoch.
In the growing cold of the winter night, Enoch broke into a cold sweat.
So Enoch had to admit, after a moment, "Yes."
Lionel didn't say anything else, but turned his horse around and stopped in front of Enoch, saying in a low voice: "Don't keep His Highness waiting."
Enoch dared not disobey and followed nervously behind him all the way.
It was a quiet night in the manor.
The main room of the castle, brightly lit with wall lamps, yet the servants all hung their heads, suppressing the sound of their breathing to minimise their presence, not even the sound of a yawn.
"Why haven't we seen anyone yet?" Orville asked Ray, inclining his head as he put down his cup of tea."Why isn't anyone back yet?" Orville asked Ray, inclining his head as he put down his cup of tea.
Ray leaned back to the doorway and padded off to look into the distance before stepping back again and saying respectfully, "There's a light on in the tower to the left, so I think Lord Lionel and the others have head into the inner court."
"How slow." Orville got up slowly, bored, and walked over to the window to take a look.
His movements were rather leisurely, and Ray could see no trace of impatience in him.
But past experience had taught him that people who kept the Duke waiting didn't end well. Not long after, only a rush of footsteps was heard from far and near, and then indeed Lionel was seen leading two people, Enoch, who was one step behind him, was now carrying Chad on his back, and did not dare to raise his head.
"My subordinate is late after his mission, Lord Duke ..."Without waiting for Enoch to finish, Orville turned and sat down again briskly, smiling faintly at the sound of his voice, his lips lightly opened and only a few words fell out, "Throw it on the ground and wake him up."
He didn't ask Chad why he had fainted, which gave Enoch nowhere to play the made-up lies he had made up in advance along the way.
Orville's order came out of nowhere, and instantly no one dared to make a move, so he was heard to say again, "What, are you all distressed?"
Orville was an extremely fierce and domineering person, he would even cut off someone's hand for touching his things without permission, Chad as the Duke's personal knight, no one dared to touch him, if anyone harmed his knight now, I am afraid that if Chad regained his favour in front of Orville after the fact, the sinister highness would blame that person again.
He leaned down slightly, cupped Chad's chin, and poured the half-warm tea directly into Chad's nose through the teapot's spout.
About the time the pot of tea was about to be poured, Chad, who was lying on the floor, seemed to be choking and coughed violently.As she coughed, she opened her eyes and met Orville's upside-down face.
