She looked at the Scoville family's gate with a complicated expression on her face.
After a long time, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The Scoville family was the same as before, with deep courtyards and extensive buildings, but there was an air of sadness throughout.
With Aldridge's death, the entire Scoville family lost its backbone and everyone became panicked.
Someone saw Feilin and they stopped.
"It's Feilin, why are you back now?" A woman in luxurious robes was walking back and forth in the hall with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Feilin, she frowned, and subconsciously a hint of disgust appeared on her face.
Feilin was stunned for a moment, then she walked forward and bowed to the woman in the luxurious robe.
"Mother." Feilin said.
This woman was none other than Mary, Aldridge's wife and the mistress of the entire Scoville family.
Feilin is a concubine's daughter, and her nominal mother is Mary.
"Don't call me, I'm not your mother."
Mary looked at Feilin, the disgust on her face becoming more intense, and said: "Feilin, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being my daughter?"
The expression on Feilin's face froze.
"Mother, mother, it's terrible. The Harley family and the Candice family have come to our house. They are here to collect the debt from us."
A girl wearing a puffy skirt, with delicate features and tear marks on her face stumbled in. She was Mary's daughter Brigitte. When Brigitte saw Mary, she immediately screamed.
"We borrowed money from these knight families before, and they haven't mentioned this matter anymore. But my father just died, and they came to our door." Brigitte looked anxious, and her body was shaking. She said, "What should we do? What should we do? We can't stop them at all."
"Master Mary, Master Mary!"
A steward rushed in. He was Lennos who had tried to molest Feilin before. Lennos rushed in madly, yelling like a dog that had been chased with nowhere to escape. He said, "No... It's bad. There's a rebellion. Everything has been taken away by many stewards in cooperation with some weak knight families. We have nothing left. We have no property at all."
Lennox looked terrified and whined like a dog.
What?!
Mary's face turned pale and she immediately looked ugly.
Obviously, Mary did not expect that everything would happen so quickly and so suddenly. In just a few days, the Scoville family was brought down to earth.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Mary was in a state of confusion for a moment.
Brigitte and Lennox also had anxious looks on their faces. It could be said that there was a dark cloud over their heads at this time, and they were almost going crazy.
"Don't be anxious, I..." Feilin showed a hesitant look on her face. She picked up a box in her hand, as if she was about to say something.
"Felin, shut up!"
Mary yelled without even thinking.
"How dare a concubine's daughter speak here? Get out! Do you hear me? Feilin, get out right now!" Brigitte shouted at Feilin with a ferocious look on her face.
"Yes, Miss Feilin, the most important thing for a person is to know oneself. Look, we are discussing important matters here, it is not appropriate for you to stand here, right? So, just get out of here." Lennox said casually.
Feilin's hand holding the box trembled.
"Ms. Feilin, didn't the Knights Templar come to capture you and sacrifice you to the Saint? How come you are okay?" Lenos glanced at Feilin.
"Lenos, it's no use talking about the Saint. The old Saint is dead. Now there is only the Holy Lord!"
Brigitte snorted coldly, her expression still looked extremely ugly. At the same time, Brigitte kept talking, appearing extremely mean.
"Ah, I thought of it, I thought of it!"
Lennox looked at Feilin, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately started shouting.
"We can offer Feilin to the Holy Lord. After all, Miss Feilin is good-looking. If we offer her to the Holy Lord, our family's situation will be much better." Lennox looked at Feilin with an excited look on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes, Feilin is still pretty good-looking. We can definitely offer her to the Saint and sell her to alleviate the crisis of our Scoville family!"
Brigitte also became excited. At the same time, she thought of more things and said, "Even if the Holy Lord doesn't like Feilin, we can sell Feilin to other people, such as Mr. Gray, Mr. Clare, Mr. Foren, etc."
"Starting from the Holy Lord, then to the knights and nobles, and then to the merchants, I believe that Feilin can be sold."
Brigitte's face flushed, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with her idea.
Mary was the hostess of the family. She was obviously very satisfied with Brigitte's proposal. She turned her head, looked at Feilin, and said coldly, "Feilin, did you hear that? Go down quickly and prepare well. Now is the time for you to contribute to the family."
"Wait a minute, I..."
Feilin wanted to say something, but Brigitte and Lennox next to her were no longer willing to listen to Feilin.
"Feilin, you need to go down quickly and wash yourself carefully, okay? Don't dawdle, we are going to offer you to the Holy Lord soon!" Brigitte watched from the side, her voice full of malice.
"Yes, Miss Feilin, you'd better prepare yourself well. You will be meeting the Holy Lord later. If you don't wash yourself well, it will bring shame to our Scoville family."
Lennox was speaking, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Felin, your family not only raised you, but also taught you how to become a knight. Now, it's time for you to repay them." Mary said, her voice full of indifference. "Go down and get ready. I'll go meet a few nobles in a moment, and then I'll have Lenos take you to the Saint's room."
"Yes, yes, Miss Feilin, you must be obedient and behave yourself."
Lennox chuckled.
Feilin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't utter a word.
Not only when the Knights Templar came, but it is also the case now.
So... this is family.
For some reason, Feilin suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
A servant came in with a dog. He was teasing the dog and laughing, looking very happy.
"Hey, Jack, you've taken good care of Fok. Are you treating him like your son? Haha."
Lennox looked at the dog and started teasing the servant named Jack.
"That's not the case, Lord Lennox. You know, a few days ago, a man named Willis died, and his body was thrown randomly in the yard. I asked Fok to eat Willis's body."
Jack smiled and patted the dog's head hard.
"Oh, so that's it." Lennox nodded, with a look of understanding on his face.
Feilin was stunned.
dog……
Eat corpses...
Uncle Willis's body...
Feilin's head was buzzing, she was dazed, and her mind was blank.
With a snap, the box in Feilin's hand fell to the ground with a slight sound.
Countless gold coins fell out of the box and scattered all over the floor.
This was brought back by Feilin to help the Scoville family overcome difficulties, but now it seems unnecessary.
Feilin's body was shaking and she staggered outside.
Brigitte and Lennox exclaimed, and they kept grabbing the gold coins on the ground. There were so many gold coins that even Mary couldn't help but look sideways to grab some.
"Where did Feilin get so many gold coins?"
"Who knows?"
"She must have sold it secretly, haha..."
Brigitte, Lennox and the others laughed sneers.
Feilin didn't say anything. She walked slowly like a zombie. Finally, after walking for a while, she came to the courtyard and saw Willis's body.
Willis's body had already decayed slightly, but one could still make out his appearance. His body was tattered, revealing uneven gaps in the flesh and blood. Obviously, these were wounds left by a dog bite.
The body was lying on the ground, wearing only a simple linen shirt, and all other valuable things had been taken away by other servants.
"Uncle... Willis... Uncle Willis..." Feilin looked at Willis's body, her body softened, and she knelt on the ground weakly.
She reached out and stroked Willis's face, her body trembling and unable to utter a word.
There were cheers coming from the hall in the distance. Brigitte and Mary cheered while picking up gold coins.
Feilin had a miserable expression on her face. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
Silent shouts seemed to be heard all around.
ah!!
Feilin's hand fell on the cross sword at her waist. She stared at the hall, exerted force in her hands, and energy slowly surged out of the cross sword.
"Ah!!!" Feilin screamed, she drew out her cross sword and rushed towards the hall frantically.
boom!!
There was a loud explosion.
It seemed like a very long time had passed.
Finally, it's all over.
Flames shot up into the sky, corpses were strewn across the ground, a strong smell of blood hung in the air, and the blood on the ground had formed a pool that was slowly flowing out.
Feilin's clothes were tattered. She was leaning on a cross sword and breathing heavily.
She turned and looked at the building burning in flames.
All dead.
Everyone is dead.
Feilin thought about this, and felt relieved. She couldn't help but let out a breath slowly.
But what's next? For some reason, Feilin suddenly felt deeply exhausted. She felt very sleepy and tired, and wanted to fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again.
"Feilin." A voice sounded, someone was calling her name.
Feilin was startled and she raised her head subconsciously.
Morin appeared in front of him at some point. He was wearing a black and gold robe, and seemed to blend into the deepest night around him.
At this time, Morin was looking over quietly.
"Maureen... Mr. Maureen..." Feilin staggered to Maureen's side. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
"It's over. It's all over."
Maureen appeared in front of Feilin.
"Yes, Mr. Morin, it's all over." Tears slowly flowed down Feilin's face.
"Just as we agreed, follow me."
Maureen said.
"Okay...Okay, Mr. Morin." Feilin understood what Morin meant, but the look on her face gradually became firm. She knelt on one knee, saluted Morin, and said, "From now on, I will serve you with everything."
"host.'
Feilin said softly.
There was a faint expression on Morin's face. Without saying a word, he turned around and slowly walked outside.
Feilin stood up and exhaled slowly. She held the bloody cross sword in her hand and followed Morin.
