The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 40 Come with me
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

"I have killed Viscount Eagle Wing. You are free."

David stopped where he was and spoke softly to comfort her.

After hearing his words, the fox girl's body trembled and she slowly moved the tail covering her body.

Then, a young-looking face appeared, with tears in the corners of its eyes and a look of panic.

Seeing that the person coming was indeed not Viscount Eagle Wing, the little fox girl seemed to feel relieved. She hugged her knees with her hands and cried silently.

David didn't know what to say for a moment.

He first used his sword to cut open the shackles on the little fox girl, took off his cloak and covered the little fox girl with it, then handed the dry food to the little fox girl and let her eat it first.

Time passed little by little.

The little fox girl finally calmed down. Although she was still wary when looking at David, she no longer had much hatred. She could feel the kindness of the man in front of her.

"Thank you." The little fox girl spoke in a soft voice.

David was a little surprised to hear the little fox girl speak.

He had always wondered whether the little fox girl was a human or a monster. Now that she could speak human language, he was more inclined to believe that she was a human.

David thought for a moment and asked, "Are you human?"

When the little fox girl heard this, she was confused for a moment and shook her head, saying, "I don't know if I am still a human being."

return?
David grasped the point, his eyes flickered, "Were you a human before?"

The little fox girl nodded, "Well, I was just an ordinary person, but not long ago, I suddenly developed fox characteristics."

Memories flashed in her eyes and a look of pain appeared on her face.

After she turned into an orc, she was discovered and captured as a witch.

However, Viscount Eagle Wing did not hand her over to the church. Instead, he imprisoned her in this secret room until David arrived.

Her voice was low and filled with fear.

A wizard is someone who has been cursed by the devil and is an ominous person.

But she didn't notice that the Frostwolf Lord's eyes suddenly lit up.

David had been looking for traces of wizards, but he didn't expect to meet a witch in Frostwolf Ridge.

Although she is just a witch who has awakened the power of a wizard and not a true wizard who has mastered the wizard heritage, she can still allow him to glimpse the tip of the wizard's iceberg.

"What are your plans next?" David asked.

Upon hearing this, the little fox girl looked confused and she didn't know what to do next.

In this vast world, there is simply no place for wizards. If discovered by the church, only death will await her.

but.

Sometimes, death is indeed a relief.

"If you have nowhere to go, come with me," David said.

The little fox girl suddenly looked up and fixed her eyes on the young lord in front of her.

Relaxed, doubtful, skeptical.
A variety of complex emotions flashed through her eyes.

Isn't this young lord afraid of being held accountable by the church?
Perhaps, the other party wanted to imprison her just like Viscount Eagle Wing did?

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt the temperature in the secret room drop rapidly, and at the same time, an ice cone appeared in the hand of the young lord.

"Are you a wizard too?" The little fox girl suddenly widened her eyes.

In her opinion, only wizards can master the power of controlling ice.

"Ah, I guess so."

David smiled and didn't explain much.

There was finally some hope in the little fox girl's eyes, and she seemed to have more motivation to live. She nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go with you." She had thought before that if she couldn't live, she would use death to end her nightmare life, and she felt that she had nothing to be afraid of.

But looking at the lord in front of her, she felt that even a wizard could live like an ordinary person, and even live freely like the lord.

David nodded and left the secret room to find a hat and loose new clothes for the little fox girl to cover her fox ears and tail.

After an unknown amount of time, the little fox girl saw the sunshine outside again.

She had clearly planned to die. How could someone who had decided to give up even her own life still have any attachment to this world?
But the moment she saw the sunlight, she couldn't help but burst into tears. It turned out that there were still some beautiful things in this world worth cherishing.

She glanced at the person in front of her who allowed her to see the sunlight again, took firm steps and quietly followed his pace.

The two walked one in front of the other, and the sunlight made their shadows overlap.

Then she found herself in the familiar square.

There were many people gathered around the square, including many familiar faces. She couldn't help but tense up. She was afraid of being recognized, just like when she was treated as a monster and dragged to the lord's castle.

Fortunately, the hat covered her face tightly, which gave her a little sense of security.

Of course, more sense of security comes from the tall figure in front of her. All she has to do is follow his pace, the little fox girl comforted herself in her heart.

"Once the trial is over, we will return to Frostwolf Ridge."

David suddenly spoke up.

Trial?

The little fox girl was a little confused.

But soon she saw the man tied to the stake in the square.

Viscount Eagle Wing!

She actually saw the dead Viscount Eagle Wing here!

Except for Viscount Eagle Wing, all members of the Eagle Wing family were tied to the stake without exception!
At this moment, she was completely stunned.

"Let's go."

Looking at the stunned little fox girl, David reminded her.

Then he walked directly to the huge stone seat in the square and sat on it.

The little fox girl followed quietly, standing beside the stone seat, staring intently at the dead Viscount Eagle Wing.

"Your Excellency the Duke, all the main members of the Eagle Wing Family are here."

"There are still some side branches with Eagle Wing family blood on the run. Someone has already taken the Gray Wolf to chase them. They will definitely not be able to escape Eagle Wing Castle."

"In addition, those officials who were loyal to the Eagle Wing family have also been imprisoned."

The official named Mohan reported the situation meticulously.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let the trial begin." David nodded.

As the trial began, pieces of evidence of the Eagle Wing family's crimes were made public.

The most serious of these is naturally betrayal of the lord, and this alone is enough to destroy the Eagle Wing family.

But there is indeed a lot of evidence of other crimes committed by the Eagle Wing family, many of which are related to civilians.

This will further weaken the reputation of the Eaglewing family in Eaglewing Castle and help Frostwolf Ridge better take over Eaglewing Castle.

Finally, amid the roars and pleas for mercy from the Eagle Wing family members, the flames that purified everything blazed up and devoured all the members of the Eagle Wing family.

The little fox girl watched quietly, a tear rolling down the corner of her eye.

ended.

Let this flame turn all her nightmares into ashes...
