Chapter 87: Bella, the Dutiful Daughter

Chapter 87 – Great Filial Daughter Bella

“Let’s go!” After psyching himself up a bit, Viscount Mara slapped his horse and led his close cavalry towards the north.

Those horse thieves had arranged the most manpower in the south, fearing that he would run south, after all, seizing someone’s territory was really taboo in the north, and would easily be attacked by the group.

Although these horse thieves acted carefully, but do not know that the Viscount Mara sophisticated, some years ago in the north placed a nomadic tribe, weekdays rarely contact, occasionally come to the town is in accordance with the normal transaction, so never been found, which is precisely the Viscount Mara the most complacent point.

As long as with the tribe convergence, with the help of nomadic tribe cover, coupled with the strength of the cavalry under his command, enough to allow him to return safely to the border of the empire, when the tribe’s livestock and herdsmen are sold, and can make a fortune.

And then put this money into the Chamber of Commerce to let his two sons use it properly, even if he loses the title of Viscount of the Northland and the town of Mara, the family will not be completely declined.

As for the daughter, find an older knight in the Imperial Border Army to marry, although the status of the knight is not high, but at least it can still provide some help for the two sons.

Marrying a nobleman is no need to think about, although the eldest daughter’s appearance is not bad, but has been with the nomadic tribes around the grazing, nature has long been wild, and the age is not small, no that nobleman to see on.

When Viscount Mara was playing the abacus, Bella, who received the letter from her father, had an ugly look on her face, but she didn’t show it, as if she was a daughter who was worried about her father’s safety, until the person who delivered the letter walked out of the tent, only then did her eyes leaked out a thick murderous aura, and one hand unconsciously gripped a dagger at her waist.

As Viscount Mara’s eldest daughter, Bella was not favored, otherwise any qualified father would not send his two sons back to the safe and prosperous borders of the empire and leave his only daughter to survive in the wilds of the Northlands.

To know that time Bella is only twelve years old, this good father will her along with a few herdsmen a group of sheep out, if not she that day on the use of private dagger to finish off a look at her eyes wrong herdsman, she is afraid that has long become a dozen children’s mother.

It was on that day, when her hands were stained with blood, that Bella realized she could not go back, she was no longer a carefree young girl, but someone who needed to rely on her own efforts to survive.

With her old life all but shattered and abandoned, doomed to a life of wandering, Bella vows to give it all back to her good father, and apparently now the chance has come.

Bella has seen the horse thieves who roam around with her tribe, and she knows exactly what her father would do, as they are horse thieves, but they are also the lackeys of some powerful people, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get the equipment and food.

The experience of young Bella broke all the illusions of her father, so she can essentially understand her father, so many years down the road, there is no one more than Bella understand her father, and even the other side of what will be done next, she can guess the eight or nine is not very good.

In the eyes of the other side, only two sons is the continuation of his life, is the future of the family, for this reason will never have the slightest pity for her, extract all the value is his practice, so her fate has been predetermined.

But Bella is not willing, from the first few herdsmen a group of sheep, she worked hard to bring the people to avoid disaster, collect stragglers, hard grazing, now the tribe has more than 200 people, hundreds of sheep and herds of cattle and horses, these are all her blood, how can she be willing to all this is a good father to destroy!

However, it is still difficult for Bella to control the whole tribe, first of all, her identity as a woman is the biggest problem, and at the same time, her good father has never really trusted her, not only has he taken away the tribe’s youth and strong men as cavalry under him, but also placed a lot of manpower, so she needs the power to break the limitations of the power. Bella reached down and pulled a very ugly necklace out of her chest, the thread was rolled from a pony tail and held a twisted stone egg the size of an egg securely tethered.

It had been given to her as a gift by an honorable lady who was passing by, saying that it could change her destiny.

Of course, for this Bella would have to pay a sufficient price, for nothing ever comes without work, and to this she agreed, and gladly accepted the gift, even if the cost of using it was her soul and body.

Even after wandering the wilderness since she was a child, without a decent education, Bella still knew what an evil thing it was.

But the lady didn’t lie to her, and told her clearly that this thing was actually a demon’s egg, an evil item made from demon’s flesh and blood, able to gain the power of a demon through sacrifice, but at the cost that the more the power was used, the stronger the demon’s power would grow, and ultimately devouring everything the user had as sustenance to be resurrected.

But all normal people are afraid of this is to avoid the attitude, but for some people, to be able to use their own everything in exchange for a chance to take revenge, is simply a gift, because the most tragic thing under the sun is that you died but the enemy is still alive, something or other to go to your grave bouncing, you say that angry people are not angry people.

Bella is willing to pay this heavy price just to return the favor to her father who brought her all this misfortune.

For Bella to give up everything also want to get killed pro father’s action, do not say anything to her filial piety what, she was twelve years old on her own father thrown to the north wilderness, not to mention more than a dozen years suffered from the ordeal of the north wind and snow, just the wolf plague, drought, robbers, horse thieves, the sick on more than once, not to say that a young girl, even if it is a grown man I am afraid that there are few who can hold on to it.

In the past ten years, Bella has wanted to end her life countless times, but she has always been unwilling to do so.

In the process of raising the dagger again and again and again, Bella will always give herself a reason to give up suicide, but in the end, the only thing that supports her obsession to survive is to take revenge on her own father who brought her all this.

So Bella would rather give up everything to be a great filial daughter, personally buried her father, buried in the wilderness of this northern land, and then come here every year when the spring flowers bloom to herd horses.

After making up her mind, Bella held the Devil’s Egg that could change her fate tightly in her hand, and then walked out of the tent.

Walking out of the tent, Bella used her residual light to see that the cavalryman who came to deliver the letter was whispering something to a few herdsmen, when she saw her walk out, the cavalryman was still fine, but the herdsmen smiled awkwardly and hid in a side of the tent.

Bella knows this very well, these are the people that Viscount Mara has planted in the tribe, and they are also her watchers.

Obviously the father-in-law also understand their own daughter, has long been on the lookout for that, not only to draw part of the tribe of young men to act as the horsemen of the town of Mala, but also bought some herdsmen to limit the rights of Bella in the tribe, but how he did not expect, his own daughter actually mastered the extraordinary power.
