Two curses
Seven days later, the young Richard was shaken by the loyal old housekeeper. Last night, the child was thinking about getting up early, but he fell asleep late.[] He woke up at this time, but he was still confused, but he knew the importance of it. He just rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are you going to see me off?"
The butler couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head heavily.
Little Richard's washing was very simple. After a few minutes, he was led to the exterior wall of the Rapids Castle by the butler holding hands. In addition to the four knights, most of the soldiers were waiting there.
They were wearing armored hedgehogs, holding sharp swords, and staring straight ahead.
There, Miss Katnis, the seventeen-year-old, was riding on a black horse and looking back here.
Just seven days later, Katniss's appearance changed drastically: she cut off her waist-thick blonde hair and made it look like a man; she took off her long skirt that she liked to wear and put on a shiny chain mail; she had a long sword around her waist, a dagger on her boots, and even a saddle was replaced by a side seat that ladies often used to sit in the side.
Next to her were twenty swordsmen wearing long swords, and they would escort their ladies all the way to that place.
Katniss had sharp eyes. Richard had just been picked up by the Knight of Raiders, and she had seen it. She couldn't help but drive forward a few steps, gently moving her thin lips, but she didn't know how to say it, so she had to turn into a heavy sigh. Richard shouted loudly, "Sister."
The child's voice was crisp, and there was a faint crying sound.
Katnis felt heartbroken when he heard this. He resisted the urge to dismount and hug him, raised his head and smiled, "Richard, do you remember all my instructions?"
Rubbing his eyes, Little Richard nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"That's fine. That's fine..." As he said so, Katnis turned his horse's head and ordered Captain Swordsman: "Then let's go."
Katnis and the others were going to the destination. It was a "Forest of Forest" a hundred or ten miles north of the Rapids Castle. It was extinct. Even the ten miles outside the forest were rare.
The Principality of Iris.ashu8. People know almost everywhere on the mainland. There is a terrible monster living there.
And that monster is closely related to Katniss and even her bloodline.
In people's rumors, the monster has a snake's body and a human head. It sleeps for nine years and wakes up for a year. When it sleeps, forgets the forest is relatively safe. But once it wakes up, it will bring bloody storms!
The monster likes to eat human flesh, is cruel and easy to kill, and has a strong sense of revenge! And its favorite food is the earthly bloodline left by Katniss's body and the former royal family!
Every time he woke up, he asked them for food with signs similar to the one placed at the entrance of the Rapidsburg - a young woman aged fourteen to eighteen.
As for how the monster knew that the other party was of the right age, we had to talk about the snake-shaped birthmark on Katnis's left chest and heart. It was owned by every woman in blood. It will accompany them to grow to eighteen years old. Until the monster likes to eat, the black birthmark will gradually fade away.
So, for granted, the birthmark is the mark that the monster is noted on it, a curse that every woman in blood cannot avoid!
Yes, I cannot avoid... The woman asked by the monster has never been able to avoid her miserable fate. Ashu8 does not go to the Forgotten Forest in person and hides in a solid castle. The monster will come all the way without hesitation, take away its food, and leave a corpse on the ground; the end of hiding after running away from home is also miserable. With that birthmark, the woman can't hide it no matter how the monster will find it, eat it, and then kill all the humans it meets.
There were only two cases of such response, and it disappeared under the pressure of other lords.
"If you dare to hide again, you will be an enemy of us!" The lords who were worried about causing fire all shouted like this. The lords with the blood of the former royal family could only agree. This was a resentful thing, but it had a laughable ending...
More than a hundred years ago, a lord had been judging the land of a lord with blood for a long time, and finally got what he wanted - under the curse of blood, these lords could not be strong at all... The lord was very proud, but he did not realize the beauty of killing the roots.
He was proud for only three years, lurking in his castle, disguised as a maid, and successfully attracted monsters and successfully avenged her family before turning himself into food.
Under the rampage of monsters, the lord's castle was turned into ruins.
Since then, the relationship between the Blood Lord and the other lords has become subtle.
Because of this, although Katnis was worried about the prospect of Rapids Castle, he was not desperate. "No matter what, you must live!" This was her most solemn instructions to her younger brother. Even if Rapids Castle is broken, as long as Richard does not die... Then as long as you endure for ten years, twenty years, and thirty years... they will eventually be able to take revenge!
Just use the curse on them!
But thinking that the curse on her body became their last weapon... Katniss on the horse had to smile bitterly again. She held the hilt of the sword at her waist and couldn't help thinking, "Maybe I can kill it?"
But as soon as this idea was saved, I shook my head and denied it.
She understood her qualifications, and defeating more than a dozen ordinary swordsmen was her limit, and she was simply not as good as her aunt, Isabel...
According to her father, her aunt was raised by her grandfather as a son since she was a child: she could ride a horse at the age of ten and went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. She was famous later. She was the current military minister of the Iris Principal, the unparalleled Duke Andre, who was once her defeated general.
However, her aunt also failed... She brought the entire family, no, the entire bloodline, the expectations of many distant relatives into the forest, and never came out again...
It's impossible to succeed at all! Katnis thought this way, there were more rumors about the monster than others, and none of them mentioned in those rumors: the monster's scales were extremely strong, the arrows could not enter, and the swords were not invaded...
Her fate was already destined as early as the day the signs appeared.
But so what! As long as the final result does not appear, she will continue to walk along the way and firmly!
Just like her aunt, all the bloodline women before her!
With such determination, Katniss, Messi and the others finally reached the edge of the Forgotten Forest.
