Chapter 218 The Last Witch (23)
With so many soldiers on the scene, it would have been a very easy task to kill a wild boar.
But Shisui deliberately wanted to embarrass them, so she used her spiritual power to control the wild boar to run around, rushing to whoever had the highest status, knocking everyone down, and making them lose their hats and canes, and run away in panic.
The nobles cursed in embarrassment, and the soldiers rushed forward, chasing after the wild boar, one after another. The scene was very funny.
Seeing that the game was almost over, Shisui released her control over the wild boar.
She also had to let these good-for-nothings into the manor to fight with the church.
Without Shi Sui's protection, the wild boar lost its sense of direction and rushed directly towards a luxurious carriage wrapped in light blue silk like a blind fly.
The wild boar's brute force was so sharp that it instantly pushed the carriage's two wheels off the ground and caused it to shake continuously.
The soldiers nervously shouted inside, "Princess Elisa! Don't move in there! We're going to kill this wild boar right away!"
Princess Elisa...
Tokiho remembered.
That was one of the "important royal family members" that the steward of the Santa Cruz estate had mentioned to her.
At only 14 years old, she is the youngest sister of the current king.
Shisui was deeply impressed by the determined and slightly worried look in Princess Elisa's portrait, and she wanted to see if the real person looked like that too.
So Shisui tried to control the wild boar again and make it hit harder, forcing Princess Alisa to come out.
But before she could do anything, the back door of the carriage was kicked open from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, a young girl came out, holding on to the door edge tightly, trying hard to keep her balance, without any panic.
On the contrary, the soldiers and nobles watching were much more nervous than she was.
"Princess Alisa! Be careful! Stay up there and don't move. Let us—"
Before the soldiers could finish their words, Princess Elisa leaped down from the half-human-high and wobbly carriage.
The dress she was wearing was gorgeous and complicated. When she landed on the ground, she tripped over the hem of her skirt, fell forward, and accidentally fell to the ground.
She subconsciously stretched out her arms to support herself on the muddy ground, and a big hole was rubbed on the white silk gloves on her hands, and even the delicate skin inside was damaged.
"Oh, Princess, you are injured and bleeding!"
The wild boar took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and escape, and the maids and ladies dared to gather around to check Princess Elisa's injuries.
While others were nervous, Princess Elisa remained calm. She took off her gloves, handed them to the person next to her, and said, "It's just a little scrape, it's not a big deal."
A 14-year-old princess is much braver than those tall and strong male nobles who can only brag.
The corners of Shisui's mouth curled up slightly.
Most princesses are spoiled beyond measure, but among a group of dissolute and decadent nobles, Alyssa is like a clear stream.
Her bright green eyes are also very captivating.
I just don't know what the character is like...
Tokiho's interest in her also grew a bit.
…
Not long after, the pathfinders sent out by the nobles returned.
Accompanying them were the steward and guards of the Santa Cruz estate.
It is said that they met halfway.
The Grand Steward humbly excused himself by saying that he had been busy dealing with the cardinal's affairs and therefore did not come to greet him in time.
He said many nice words, then bent down and offered to lead them to the manor to have a good rest.
The nobles bullied him because he was just a servant after all. They scolded him harshly and then marched towards the manor in a proud manner.
...At night, Viscount Santa Cruz held a banquet as planned to welcome the nobles.
A bishop died, and Cardinal Gerry was also seriously injured and was lying in the church. A large group of people surrounded him and chanted prayers. Logically speaking, there should not have been any messy banquet... If this matter were to get out, there would be disputes with the church and it would also affect the image of the royal family.
However, the great nobles had long-standing grievances with the church, and would not sincerely ask a cardinal to quit drinking and sex. They also thought that if they closed the door, no one would know what they were doing in the manor, so they indulged in pleasure without restraint.
A long dining table was filled with a variety of delicious food and wine. More than a dozen nobles sat in order of their status and toasted to celebrate.
As the owner of the manor, Viscount Santa Cruz was naturally the busiest person in the banquet hall.
While he was socializing, he also had to keep an eye on the emotions of everyone in the room, fearing that he might be neglecting anyone. He also had to summon the chief steward from time to time to confirm the security of the manor.
"No trace of that witch?"
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. Our guards, together with the troops brought by the royal family, are enough to defend against anyone."
"That's good...we'll arrange for those gypsy women to come and dance later."
Viscount Santa Cruz didn't dare mention the "witches" issue, nor did he dream of further advancement. He simply hoped that these nobles would return safely after their hunt, without any further accidents.
...At this moment, Shisui had already bypassed the elite soldiers and hid on a roof of the manor castle, watching every move in the banquet hall.
