Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 149: Find a Witch (19)

Of course it's more than that.

The Duke was even relieved when the Knights arrived. He dragged his battered leg and stumbled to the Knight Commander. He swallowed his tears with great difficulty and regained his noble demeanor: "Knight, arrest this homeless man who broke into the Duke's mansion and assaulted a noble!"

He, Shen Jin and the newly arrived knight were in a triangle formation.

Looking at the two weak men on Shen Jin's side, the Duke compared the size of the knights and felt that they were stable. He began to think about which level of connections he should use to completely exhaust these two people in prison.

The smile touched the red and swollen wound on his face. The Duke covered his face with his hands, and his hatred for Shen Jin reached its peak.

"These are all witnesses and physical evidence. Knight, arrest them all quickly!"

The Duke pointed at the servants lying on the ground and the destroyed mansion, his heart bleeding.

The leading knight approached with a sword in hand and walked in front of Shen Jin.

"Just wait! You'll have something to worry about!"

The Duke huddled behind the knight, feeling completely safe.

However, the tall knight standing in front of him knelt on one knee without saying a word. He placed his right hand on his chest and gave a standard knight's salute to Shen Jin and the other two.

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

"Meet the Master Witch."

"I didn't know you came here so early. I frightened you. I hope to atone for my sin."

Shen Jin had already taken a step back, revealing Finé behind him.

Finé was still immersed in the devastating blows of her teacher, and was not surprised to see the knight arrive.

She said, "Since the teacher dared to take the risk, he must have been fully prepared." Look, the Knights cheered.

Finne looked past the kneeling knight and saw the pale-faced Duke behind him.

"Your Excellency the Duke wants to arrest me?"

"Do not......"

The situation suddenly reversed. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to touch the legendary heir and the mysterious witch.

He wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I didn't know you two distinguished guests were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

"You fought well!"

"Ah."

Shen Jin crossed his arms and said, "Your Excellency the Duke is truly patient and tolerant, able to advance and retreat with ease."

"No wonder he owns such a big castle."

"However, I imagine that life in the castle is too comfortable, and the Duke has never even considered his territory."

Finé revealed her signature silver hair and purple eyes. Her eyes had turned a faint, smoky purple due to anger, appearing inhuman.

"Copy the house."

With just two words, Finé decided the Duke's fate.

"The Duke, his relatives, and those who profited from the crime will be used as laborers to dig ditches. When it rains, they will be taken into custody and await further action!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The knights saluted and surrounded the entire castle.

Finé and Shen Jin also walked out of the castle.

She looked at the still scorching sun and asked, "Teacher, have you already thought of confiscating people's homes to help the disaster victims?"

Shen Jin simply said, "The lord can set his own taxes."

Finé instantly thought of many things. The taxes his father had imposed on each city were not high. Even lords could apply for exemptions due to natural or man-made disasters.

However, the lord did not ask too much about the tax situation of the people in the fiefdom.

"This is the lower reaches of the Xilong River, and it's usually the most fertile. Even if there were a drought for a year or two, it wouldn't be this hardship. The people can't afford to eat for one reason only: their surplus grain has been completely confiscated by the lord."

"And right now, he's hiding in that castle."

"You've learned a lesson, teacher."

......

When Finé learned that her father was seriously ill, she and Shen Jin were on a ship heading south.

"how come?"

Finne quickly lifted up her skirt and ran to Shen Jin: "Teacher!"

"how?"

Shen Jin is writing down her experiences along the way to enrich her library of poetic material.

Hearing Finé's anxious cry, he put away his quill.

This kid is usually very polite when there are outsiders around. He has never shown such an anxious and rude look in public.

Shen Jin stood up.

Then Finé came running out of the cabin in a hurry, his steps unsteady because of the stumbling of the boat.

She rushed directly into Shen Jin's arms and hugged Shen Jin's waist.

"teacher!"

"News came from the royal city that my father is ill and in critical condition. They asked me to return as soon as possible!"

As Finé spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears, wetting Shen Jin's clothes.

Shen Jin hugged her back and tried to comfort her.

According to the normal schedule, it would take her and Finé at least five days to get back to the royal city.

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Shen Jin quickly recalled the events of Feiya's past life. The king had also died suddenly one day, giving the two temples a chance to rise. But now the temples were at the end of their rope, and even if they were to revive, they wouldn't be able to cause any significant damage.

She still had to make sure that the king had passed the point of death in his previous life before taking Finne out.

Why is this happening?

Is it true that the plot line cannot be changed?

No, no, it shouldn't be like this.

"No."

Finer said, "It was my father's secret guard who sent the message."

"Yes. Your Highness Finé, do you believe me?"

Finé looked at Shen Jin with tearful eyes, not knowing why she asked this question.

But seeing the seriousness in her dark eyes, Finé nodded solemnly: "I believe you, teacher."

"Okay, now close your eyes."

Finé only felt that her body was blown up by the wind like a feather, and strong winds blew from all directions, as if to tear her apart completely.

"Don't be afraid."

Shen Jin's gentle voice sounded above her head.

Finé hugged her tighter. She secretly opened her eyes and saw Shen Jin's perfect jawline and golden hair blown by the wind.

Her teacher is comparable to a god.

The stone sculpture hanging on his chest also shone with golden light, but Finé didn't notice it.

Time seems to be extremely slow, but in fact it is just a breath.

Shen Jin brought Finé back to the palace and landed on the beam of the palace.

This is the king's bedroom. It is empty and there is not even a servant.

Shen Jin said: "We are here. Now, calm down and go see your father."

Finé was still a little confused. The lingering effect of traveling through space made her feel a little dizzy and her feet felt weak.

So Shen Jin jumped down from the beam with his men and placed them beside the king's bed.

I finished everything and stood back, not wanting to overhear the conversation between the father and daughter, but also to keep an eye on the situation.

It was unusual that there was no one to serve by the bed of the seriously ill king.

The king noticed someone around him and opened his eyes subconsciously.

I don’t know if it was because the Queen remembered their past relationship that she didn’t poison him to death directly.

But the pain of lying in bed, waiting for death to slowly approach but being unable to do anything is really unbearable.

He didn't understand why the Queen would attack him when their life was so harmonious and happy.

Pity his daughter.

He knew about the Temple's counterattack and sent her outside the royal city. He was arrogant, thinking he could give his daughter a complete empire...

He had to admit that the Queen had been lying to him. She cared more about the Temple of Light and the Hutt Family than anyone else.

"Father, I'm back."

Finne leaned over the king's bedside, holding his hands tightly.
