Chapter 13 Trade (2)
Before the voice fell, the Duke of Brittany rushed over with a quick step. He swung his sword and the flower clusters that blocked Princess Navarra were completely swollen. The princess and the maid hugged each other with pale faces, squatting on the ground and trembling.
The Duke of Brittany frowned slightly: "What did you hear?"
The huge impact made Princess Navarra speechless for a moment.
"It seems... I heard it all."
The Duke of Brittany raised his eyebrows and a fierce light shot towards the little maid:
"I told you to watch the princess not go out. Where did you see? Look at you scared the princess!"
"I... the princess said... the refreshing soup."
The little maid was already silly and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, so she could only kowtow on the ground.
"Pull her down." The Duke of Brittany ordered coldly to his men, "Since her eyes cannot see people well, then dig out one of her eyes as a punishment."
"I... don't! Don't!"
The little maid knelt on the ground and begged all the time, but her body was still roughly pulled up and dragged out of the flowers. In despair, she could only turn around, and her pearl-like eyes were shining with tears in her eyes: "Save me...the princess...the save me!"
"Let her go, Alan."
Princess Navarra stood up and patted the petals and dust on her clothes:
"All you want is me. I force it out, it has nothing to do with her. She is your servant, your assets, there is no need to lose your assets for me, right?"
When the Duke of Brittany heard the name "Alan", he smiled:
"Of course, Simena. But if she doesn't make mistakes, you can live happily for several days. You are still my fiancée and my loved one. I can't bear it when you suffer."
The title of "Simene" also made Princess Navara's eyes tremble.
"If you really think so, why do you send me out?" Princess Navarra pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes. "You are already my only relative. My body and my heart are all yours. Is this not as good as the covenant with the current 'Navarra'?"
"You are so troubled by me, Simena. After all, I have indeed loved you before." The Duke of Brittany raised his head and sighed, "So, Simena, I will give you a way out. You have lived here for more than half a month, and you have calculated it by fifteen days. The daily meal fee is about two silver coins, a total of thirty. The servants, accommodation, and other expenses are not counted. As long as you settle the thirty silver coins now, I will let you go. When the messenger of Navarra comes, I will say that you didn't take good care of you and ran away. Then, you will be high and the sea is wide and free, how about it?"
"...I didn't bring any money, and I don't have a single silver coin on me now."
"Ha, there is not a single silver coin." The Duke of Brittany smiled sarcastically, "I didn't want to say such hurtful words, but if I hadn't been by my side, you would have been wandering on the streets and turned into a beggar or a prostitute. In this way, would you be embarrassed to let me choose between Navarra and you?"
As he said that, his face turned dark:
"Put down this useless maid and be punished. Send this 'princess' back to the room and take good care of it, so she won't be allowed to go out again!"
Even though he struggled hard, Princess Navara was still pulled back to the room.
There are two trees outside the window, one is a jujube tree and the other is a jujube tree.
Every half a day or so, a bird will fly by, sometimes black, sometimes black.
And that's all.
The door was closed, and Princess Navarra hadn't seen anyone for two days. No one came to deliver the food. As soon as the sun set, the room became dark, not only dark, but also quiet, and only the sound of her stomach rumbling was heard.
On the first day, Princess Navarra was so hungry that she couldn't sleep all night. The next day, her hands and feet were completely exhausted, her head began to dizzy, and only her stomach seemed to be burning with fire. Every minute and every second passed like a needle and needle.
On the third morning, the door was pushed open. The little maid walked in with a plate. Princess Navarra raised her head hopefully, but her body shook violently because of the scene that appeared in front of her-
The innocent and brilliant little maid had completely lost her smile. One of her eyes was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, while the other one was as dull as a dead leaf.
She came to the table like a walking corpse, smashed the plate onto the table, took out the bread, fried eggs, ham, salad and milk inside, and said coldly to Princess Navarra who was lying on the bed: "Eat it." Then she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" Princess Navarra called her in panic, "Your eyes?"
The little maid turned her head and laughed dryly. Then, she untied the bandage layer by layer in front of Princess Navara. The moment she saw her eyes, Princess Navara couldn't help but feel sick.
"I worked hard and saved a lot of money. I also secretly learned a lot of noble etiquette in my spare time. I just hope that one day I will be attracted by the noble."
The little maid staggered to the window, bent down, and pushed her empty eye sockets to Princess Navarra's eyes, and then she smiled darkly again:
"Princess, look, am I beautiful now?"
Underneath those eyes, there were undry blood and tears.
Princess Navarra was so scared that she shrank back again. But after calming down, she mustered up the courage and grabbed the little maid's hand:
"Let's find a way to escape! It's okay, you can work for me, I will never treat you badly!"
"Work for you?" the little maid laughed again, "That's a great honor, Your Highness the Princess."
The smile was like a dark cloud before the heavy rain. The next second, the little maid picked up the tray in her hand and smashed it on Princess Navara's head!
"You bastard! Do you really think you are still a princess when you talk to me like this? Working for you? You can't afford to pay even twenty silver coins! How do you want to pay my wages? Do you think your body is valuable? Tell you, in a common slum, you can only earn one copper coin for each customer, and you have to pay half of the protection fee!"
Princess Navara struggled to dodge, but she had been hungry for two days and could not resist the attack of the little maid. Soon, several bags of her head swollen, but the little maid still refused to give up. She threw the tray, and then she threw herself onto the bed, tearing Princess Navara's body frantically with her fingernails:
"It's all because of you! It's all because of you! I'm only sixteen years old, just because I ate your leftover meal, ruined, ruined, and my whole life was ruined! Why wasn't your eyes dug out? Why wasn't your eyes dug out! Just because you're a princess?"
Speaking of this, the little maid's body suddenly stagnated, and then she sneered:
"——Ah, by the way, you are not a princess at all. You are just a prisoner who is about to be handed over and will die. Since you are a prisoner, it shouldn't matter if you dig out one of your eyes, right?"
Her hands were raised high, revealing the trimmed, extremely thin and long nails.
The door was opened at this time, and the Duke of Brittany appeared outside the door. Seeing the scene in the room, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing the charming and cool smile:
