Chapter 15: Dreams of the Moonlight at a Glance (1)

As the sky darkened, the streets were gradually filled with people rushing home. Light lamps and the smell of burning candles radiate from the buildings that line the streets. Perhaps, the only thing that these people had in mind right now was the desire to eat well and warm.

A horse carriage for rent slowly flashed by. The driver pulls the harness from time to time, steering the Delemont Striped Horse away from pedestrians. The horse that pulled the carriage started to feel a little irritated and snorted.

“Master, we have arrived at Phoenix-tail Flower Street in the eastern sector of the city. Where do you want to be dropped off? ”Ask the driver with respect.

Ah, thought Lorist when he looked around. He pointed to a corner and said, "Just a little further. Did you see the four-story building? Just drop me in the alley near there. ”

The horse-drawn carriage stopped near the alley as ordered.

"How much?"

“It's 30 copper, sir. ”

Receiving the two small silvers Lorist had given him, the driver looked around for 10 coins.

Lorist only received five and said, “Save the rest. Take it as a tip for your great service. ”

Gladly taking off his hat and bowing his head in gratitude, the driver said, “Thank you very much for your generosity. Good night, please. ”

The people of Morante City mostly used four types of coins issued by the unions. The first is a gold coin, also known as a gold Ford, which has a portrait of the Archduke Forde Morante. The second type is a large silver coin depicting a large ship. Officially, it is known as a 'silver sailboat', but most people just call it big silver. The third coin was also silver, although it was only a third of the size of the large silver, and it depicted the image of the city wall. Originally referred to as 'silver walls', most people simply call it small silver because of its relatively smaller size than the silver sailboat coins. The last most widely circulated type of coin is called a 'yellow copper' coin and has a simple pentagram pattern on it. People just call them copper.

Ford's gold was worth twenty large silvers, big silver was worth five small silvers and every little silver was equal to twenty copper. The use of these coins has grown with the expansion of the influence and power of the Forde Trade Union. Many regions have adopted Forde coins as their de facto currency. Some kingdoms and dukes even stopped producing their own currency for the benefit of the trade unions and sent their gold and silver reserves to the trade unions in return for their coins.

The roadside fruit seller stared in a daze as Lorist approached and hurriedly greeted, “Hei, Locke. It's been quite a while since I've since you, almost half a year I think. Come on, try strawberries. Very sweet. ”

With a smile, Lorist returned his greeting, “Uncle Girald, how is your business? I went somewhere abroad with an assignment from the academy some time ago and just came back. ”

While biting the strawberries, Lorist said, “Wow, this is good. Uncle Girald, give me these two kilos. Oh, and I also want a box of honey candy. ”

"Coming right away," said the owner of the stall as he packed up the item Lorist requested. Checking his surroundings and making sure no one was within earshot, he quietly asked, "Locke, what happened between you and Miss Windsor? For six months you weren't here, I saw him bring a middle-aged noble back to spend the night and leave together the next morning. Oh, and, last month a group of bodyguards and knights came and caused a commotion by driving away some horse carriages. They said Miss Windsor and Master Birmingham would return to their homeland to claim their power. Do you know about this? "

Half nodding and shaking his head, Lorist said, "I know that, but not all of it. Uncle Girald, I broke up with him before I left. I'm just here today to move my stuff. If you need something from me in the future, you can find me in the academy because I live there now. ”

"Oh, so so .. Huh, it's a pity that it didn't work out for you two. Oh well, I'll give you a discount! Three small silvers will fit, ” said the stall owner as he sighed and packed strawberries and candy into a paper bag.

Lorist paid the man and said with a smile, "Sometimes people are destined to separate and their own relationships cannot be forced. If it doesn't work, there's no point being disappointed by it. See you, Uncle Girald. ”

Lorist's face darkened as his smile vanished the moment he turned around. He actually brought a man back to spend the night here and caused rumors to spread. Jesus, isn't he cruel …

The alley was quite narrow and only allowed one horse carriage to pass by at any given time. Outside the ten-meter-high alley was a small land with three four-story red buildings in the middle with several wooden houses beside it.

A four-year-old girl wearing a flower skirt was sitting alone in the corner of one of the wooden houses with her head bowed, seemingly toying with something. Seeing Lorist coming out of the hallway, the girl blinked, looked at her daze, and rubbed her eyes before jumping around in excitement and rushing towards him.

His smile was as refreshing as a spring of water for a thirsty traveler and it warmed Lorist's heart from the bottom of his heart. Laughing, Lorist knelt down, carried the girl, and twisted her several times.

"Hey, little Loney. What are you doing here? Where's your grandma? "

"I'm waiting for Dad to come home. Grandma is cooking, ” replied Loney in a childish tone.

“Hehe, my little Loney is so cute. Come here, let Locke's brother give you a kiss. ”

"I don't want to .." loney lamented as she laughed and struggled to avoid Lorist's kiss.

But Lorist still managed to do so.

"Gee!" Little Loney rubbed his face with her hands and pouted. “Brother Locke was a bad guy, you didn't come to visit me for so long and now you're scraping my face with a haircut on your face. I'm gonna tell my dad and make him hit your ass … "

"Hahaha," Lorist laughed wholeheartedly. He pulled out a box of candy and said, "See what I got here?"

"ah! That's Loney's favorite honey candy! Brother Locke is the best! ”Loney's attitude instantly changes as she sets her sights on the candy box.

Handing the box over to Loney, Lorist said, "Don't eat too much of this at night, okay? Otherwise, your teeth will start to hurt. ”

“I know, thank you brother! I'll show it to grandma! "Hugging the candy box, Loney escaped at full speed.

Loney's father was called Morandel and he was the Silver Swordsman who served in the city garrison. Because Loney's mother died at a young age, Loney was mostly raised by her grandmother. Every day, Loney waits for her father to come home, but her father only gets three days off each month, which she often uses to spend time with Loney.

Seeing Loney's silhouette disappear into the building, Lorist carried his paper bag and turned towards one of the four-story old red buildings. This was the place where he had lived for the past three years.

The door opened as soon as Lorist used the knocker. The female servant gasped in shock as she let her guard down with Lorist's sudden appearance.

With a warm smile, Lorist asked, "Lina, can I come in?"

"Ah, of course, Mr. Locke. ”

Handing over his paper bag, Lorist said, "I took this from the stall in the alley. It's fresh and sweet, please help yourself to some. ”

"Oh, thank you Mr. Locke. You are always generous, ”thank you Lina hastily as she received the paper bag.

It had been half a year since Lorist had been here. Feeling nostalgic, Lorist said, "Don't be too nervous, Lina. I'm just here to pick up my stuff. Still in the room, right? ”

"Ah yes . After you left, the hostess locked the room and no longer let us in. I only saw him go into it a few times by himself. ”

“I see the furniture here is a little downhill. Are you planning to move too? ”Ask Lorist as he looked into the empty passageway.

"Religion . The madam had sold this place that she inherited from her family and was planning to leave at the end of the month. ”

"Did he also sell a shop on Rotary Street?"

Shaking her head and shrugging, Lina said, “I don't think so. But, I have heard Suzy say that they have found a buyer and are still negotiating. ”

Sighing deeply, Lorist said, "I think your wife plans to leave this place for good. ”

Nodding, Lina said, “Master Locke, let me bring you a cup of tea. ”

"Good . Since I won't be able to drink the tea you make again in the future, it might be better to enjoy it now while still being able to. ”

Lina brought the tea for a while. Lorist inhaled the scent deeply and praised, “The smell is still fragrant. Lina, your tea making skills are still good as always. ”

Lowering her head, Lina whispered, "Master Locke, did you really break up with the mistress?"

Looking seriously at the cup in his hand, Lorist replied after a short pause, "Lina, it wasn't my intention to break up with him. He was the one who forced me to do this. I'm sure you know very well what happened to your mistress over the past year. He was willing to throw everything away to reclaim his family's power in his homeland. As for me, I can do nothing but wish him all the best. ”

Lina hesitated a little before tenaciously saying, "But .. But I think our mistress is wrong in this. He shouldn't have broken up with you … "

"Lina, not everyone thinks like that. Your mistress also has her own considerations, ” Lorist replied with a smile.

Standing up, Lorist continued, “Alright, thanks for the tea, Lina. I'll go upstairs to arrange my stuff and move it tomorrow. ”

“Ah, Mr. Locke, let me get you a candle. ”

Pushing the door open, Lorist stood outside the familiar room. Lina approached him from behind with a candle in hand and asked, "Master Locke, are you okay?"

Releasing himself from his trance, Lorist picked up the candle and said, “Oh, thank you Lina, leave me alone for a moment. I need time to think. ”

Nodding, Lina replied, “Alright, Mr. Locke. Please pull the bell rope if you need another. I'm going down. ”

Placing the candle on the table, Lorist slowly sat down on the chair near his study table and reminisced about the past: the days when he sat at that table designing clothes endlessly with him …

The moments they both cut and sew the fabric on the floor themselves to save on material costs …

Their argument about store decoration …

And on that short moonlighted night, when she took off her nightgown in front of her …

As they lay beside each other with the girl licking her chest teasingly, begging her to draw more clothing designs for him …

It's a rather old-fashioned love story.

……

That year, Lorist was only 20 years old and had just been appointed as a swordsmanship instructor for the academy. Charade prepared a party for him at the Enforcement Division building as a celebration and the two drank and ate cheerfully. After which, Lorist, in his sleep difficulties, stepped out of the building and wandered around the academy. Slowly, he walked to the Moon Lake and heard a faint sobbing. Curious, Lorist approached the source of the voice and found a girl alone crying by the lake.

At that moment, Lorist did not know what to do because he thought that comforting someone with a broken heart would not help much. But that changed when the girl jumped into the lake.

Bringing the unconscious girl back to the Enforcement Division building, she woke Charade up and the two of them took care of the girl until she regained consciousness. The girl was rather pretty, but she did not say a word. But that didn't stop fat from knowing about the situation the day after.

The girl was the daughter of the viscount of the Jigda Kingdom. His name is Windsor Prinna and he is 18 years old. For unknown reasons, the two grand dukes of the Jigda Kingdom entered into armed conflict. The unfortunate Viscount Windsor sided with the losing side and stormed the castle and its dominance, effectively becoming the first sacrifice of the conflict. His power was split between several powers and the Viscount heeded the call of the god of war and left the mortal realm for life after death. Naturally, Mrs Windsor and her seven-year-old son became captives.

In the conflict between nobles, while the losing side would not suffer any direct losses, it was not unusual to hear the women provide entertainment and companionship for the guests at the drinking party. While Madam Windsor was middle-aged, she still maintained the air and beauty of a woman and was quite popular in the warrior camps. Half a year later, the two grand dukes began peace talks and the conflict in the kingdom subsided. Due to losing influence over their power, the Windsor family hostages have been released because they no longer have any value. But Mrs Windsor has been with the child of someone she doesn't know. To escape embarrassment and humiliation, he left the place and sought out his eldest daughter Prinna who was studying in Morante City for help.

The young Miss Windsor who had lived a quiet and luxurious life could never have imagined something like this to happen. When her mother came with her brother, she was like a majestic phoenix that suddenly turned into an ordinary chicken because she lost her father's support as well as her source of income. The arrogant young mistress humbled herself and asked some of her admirers to lend a hand, hoping they could reclaim her family land for her.

However, he was harshly humiliated; the nobles, knowing that the Windsor family had lost their power, did not provide the slightest help. The desperate young mistress could not bear it anymore and decided to end her life and sneak away from the dorm in the middle of the night to the nearby Moon Lake.

Charade also discovered that Viscount Windsor owned several other properties in the eastern sector of Morante City, namely, a mansion and two shop grounds. They could still live a comfortable life even without their power over their power.

Lorist noted aloud that the property could be used as capital to rebuild the Windsor family.

Suddenly, the girl who had been silent the entire time appeared before Lorist, much to his surprise, and said with her charming eyes wide open, "Have you just said that Windsor's house could start over …?"
