Chapter 153 (1/2)
”Phoebe's dead? Or just raped by Riley? ” Ron couldn't help asking.
”She was insulted by Riley, and my elder brother saw it with his own eyes. She committed suicide in shame.” Audrey clenched her silver teeth. ”You don't know, actually, Phoebe is not just my maid. She and my elder brother fall in love. Originally, it won't be long before she will become my elder sister-in-law. My father is arranging another identity for Phoebe to make her and my elder brother look more compatible, but...”
”Didn't your brother kill Riley on the spot?” Ron is a little strange. If he encounters this kind of thing, no matter who the other party is, he will definitely kill him without hesitation.
”The elder brother wanted to do it, but at that time it was already big, and the palace guards came to stop it. Then Boyte also appeared. In addition, Boyte promised to give an account to our family at that time, the elder brother could only bear it. After all, the other party was a prince, so what could he do?” Audrey gave a bitter smile. ”At that time, we thought that Boyte would give us a proper explanation, but in the end, he just sent Riley to Lilo town and continued to make Riley more powerful there!”
With a little breath, Audrey calmed down a little: ”although it's been more than a year, I still want to eat Riley alive. After that, my elder brother was depressed for a while, you know? What is more painful than the death of one's relatives is that you know who the killer is, but you can only watch the killer free and do nothing. ”
”What did Boyte do to your family, and you're going to marry Prince Leon?” Ron thinks it's kind of weird.
”A hundred years ago, our family was greatly favored by the Empire. The clan leader at that time passed down a will to ask the family to be loyal to the Rasas family from generation to generation. Over the years, our family has been abiding by this order. On the surface, the Empire has also given our family high treatment, which once made us feel that our loyalty to the Rasas family is also worth it.” Audrey said here, gently shook her head, ”but what happened more than a year ago finally sobered me up. In Boyte's eyes, we are just loyal dogs. No matter how unbearable Riley is, she is more noble than us. Let alone my maid who died that day, even if it was me who died, Boyte still won't do anything to Riley.”
”Since you know, how can you marry into the royal family?” Ron asked.
”Because my father didn't want the reputation of the Byrd family's loyalty to end in his generation, he not only swallowed it, but also because Boyte worried about our family's dissatisfaction and asked me to marry Leon, so as to dispel Boyte's suspicion.” Audrey grinned bitterly again. ”This is my father's order. What can I do as a daughter?”
Audrey gently shook her head: ”I have no choice, I can only marry Leon, for me, the only thing I can do now, perhaps is to save your life, my father may be ashamed of me, so, he recognized me, did not stop my action, perhaps, in fact, in his heart, do not want you to die.”
”Actually, you can get out of here.” Ron couldn't help saying, ”no one can do anything to you without the Empire.”
”If I leave, Boyte will not let my family go.” Audrey shook her head gently. ”Just like you, I think you should have known for a long time that the reason why you and Princess Winona came to the wedding here is that the royal family of the red fox Empire took you as a victim. You still have to come here, knowing that you are in danger. Isn't it for your family?”
Ron was silent. Audrey was right. He came here to protect his family.
Perhaps his ability has been quite good, but his fate is still in the hands of the supreme ruler of the Empire. Just like Audrey, even though the bird family is known as the first family of the Bolley Empire, they still have to compromise in front of Boyte. If they want to change this situation, the only thing they can do is to replace it.
”I'll go to the city to prepare some food for you. Today, you stay here. When the wedding starts tomorrow, you go to find Princess Winona. Before the wedding, you won't be in danger. After the wedding, you will leave with Princess Winona immediately.” Audrey didn't seem to want to talk about these sad things any more. She gave an explanation and quickly left the cabin.
Audrey didn't show up for a long time. She didn't come back to the cabin until it was dark. At the moment, Ron was already hungry.
”I'm sorry, my father sent someone to watch me. I managed to get away. I'm a little late.” As soon as she entered the room, Audrey said.
Ron was a little dissatisfied at first, but she apologized as soon as she came in. He was not good enough to lose his temper again. What's more, strictly speaking, he had no reason to lose his temper. After all, people helped him free of charge. Even if she never came back, he had nothing to say.
With her long silver hair and transparent white skin, Audrey looks very pure and pure.
”I made some food and wine for you. You should be very hungry, aren't you?” Audrey carried a large bamboo basket, lifted the lid, took out dozens of small dishes and a bottle of wine from it, and set a full table.Ron didn't eat all day, and he was very hungry. Looking at this table, he was not polite. The autumn wind swept away the leaves and ate them clean. He seldom drank wine, and finally filled his stomach.
Audrey had been standing by and watching quietly. Seeing Ron's rude eating, she not only didn't show disgust, but also had a sweet smile on her pretty face.
