Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!
Chapter 34: Kingdom Nobles
The sunny and peaceful morning in Bell Town does not have any special features, but the beautiful forests, green grasslands and leisurely atmosphere are its most attractive features.
Alice sat at the desk, holding her chin with her hand, her golden hair hanging on the table, like a painting under the sunlight.
"Lilylan..." After a long time, she suddenly looked up and called softly.
"Priest, what's wrong?" A nun named Lilylan immediately stepped forward to respond.
Alice was silent for a long time, her red lips opened and closed again, and finally, she sighed and asked, "Hill... didn't come today either?"
"Um... no," Lilylan thought for a moment, shook her head, and rolled her eyes helplessly: "She hasn't come since that time three days ago. Priest, why don't you want to see her?"
Alice was stunned for a long time, then lowered her eyes: "I... don't know..."
"Master Priest, how about..."
"Lililan, you go down first."
"....I see...."
Is it because the god the other person believes in is completely opposite to your own god?
No... She knew it wasn't like that, it was just an excuse to comfort herself...
Once again, Alice couldn't help but think of the scene a few days ago. She couldn't help but lie on the table and bury her face in her arms.
Hill no longer came to see her because he was always afraid to see her.
But she really wasn't unwilling...
Haven't I always been worried that Hill would become more and more distant from me?
"Ugh...."
She sighed, stood up, and slowly walked to the bedside, looking down at the square. Players were still bustling around, adding vitality to this quiet town, but the familiar figures no longer appeared below...
Then....
A head, as small as a carrot, silently popped out from the window.
"........."
"........."
Their eyes met for a long time before Alice came back to her senses.
"Hill? Come in quickly," she was startled and quickly supported Hill's upper body as he climbed through the window: "This is too dangerous! What are you doing?"
"............." Hill went inside and looked at Alice silently. He thought for a moment, "Because you refused to see me."
"I'm not..." Alice subconsciously wanted to refute, but just as she opened her mouth, she was stunned again.
Isn’t this the truth?
"Why don't you want to see me?" Seeing Alice choking, Hill continued, "I don't want to not see Sister Alice."
"I...."
Alice was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"Priest, Lord Bird wants to see you... Hey! Wait, Lord Bird, please wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a series of footsteps were heard outside.
Alice frowned immediately and quickly put her arm around Hill's shoulders: "Okay, hide now."
"........."
Bird?
When Hill heard the name, he raised his eyebrows slightly. After thinking for a while, he nodded and hid under Alice's desk.
If she remembered correctly... this Bird should be the noble of the kingdom that governed Bell Town and some surrounding areas. She didn't have a very deep impression of him in her previous life, but she had heard his name many times in this life...
He shouldn't be an important person...
"Bang!"
I had just hidden myself when the door was violently pushed open the next moment.
"Eh... I'm sorry, Master Priest..." Lilylan, who had been following behind and trying to stop the few people, could only sigh helplessly and lowered her head towards Alice.
"It's okay," Alice had just sat down and smiled at Lilylan, "You go down first."
"Yes..." Lilylan lowered her head, closed the door and left.
"Priest Alice, what happened to those Chosen Ones!?"
As soon as the door closed, the man's angry voice came over: "They are even more capable than the refugees on the street! Today! They even beat up my guards for a beggar!"
"Mr. Bird, I can't control the behavior of the Chosen Ones," Alice looked at Bird in surprise, "but if they offended you, I apologize to you for them..."
"What's the point of apologizing?" Bird was furious, waving his fists. "Those unkillable bastards! If I find them again, I will put them in jail!"
"As far as I know, although the behaviors of the Chosen Ones are strange, they are mostly in line with common sense." Alice was silent for a moment and raised her eyes slightly: "And their death will also bring punishment, so, I wonder if some of your guard's behaviors angered them?"
"What!? Are you trying to say that I'm wrong?!" Bird became even angrier, stepped forward, and slapped the desk hard.
"boom!"
He stared at Alice intently: "Don't forget, all the expenses of your church are paid by me!"
"I didn't say that, and we are all very grateful for your help," Alice nodded sincerely, "Really, thank you."
"What's the point of just thanking me!?" Bird continued to slam the table: "I want you to control them! Control them!!"
"Mr. Bird..." Alice was a little helpless, but still whispered: "A selfless heart is the most precious gift in the world. All those who have been helped by you are very grateful to you..."
"Fuck you for not asking for anything in return!" Bird was furious: "You use my money to do good deeds, I want to see a reward! Do you understand? A reward!"
"........."
Alice was silent for a moment, then sighed: "So, what do you need?"
"I want you to be held responsible for the damage caused by those chosen ones!" Bird knocked on the table.
"I will arrange for a medical officer to heal your guard right away." Alice lowered her eyes, then raised them again: "So, is there anything else?"
"Also, I'm going to withdraw my funding for you!" Bird snorted coldly and replied immediately, obviously having made the decision long ago.
"This..." Alice was shocked. She slightly widened her eyes and said anxiously, "Without your support, those people in your territory who cannot support themselves will not survive, including the children and the elderly who lost their families in the war, and..."
"Why should I care whether they live or die?" Bird laughed: "If they live, they will only be a burden. It's better if they die!"
"But many of their family members died at the hands of wild beasts because they helped you open up the territory..." Alice was extremely shocked and looked at Bird in confusion.
"Benefits, I only want benefits, understand?" Bird snorted disdainfully: "Do you think I funded you just to help those damned untouchables?"
"I...."
"If you want me to continue funding you, then give me something that satisfies me!"
Bird suddenly spoke, looking Alice up and down greedily, but soon looked away.
This woman is very good, but he has no shortage of women. To him, real interests are the most important.
But...if this woman came to him, he wouldn't mind...
Thinking of this, he sneered, glanced at Alice meaningfully, and left with the guards around him...
