【163】Green-Neal(1/2)

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful place would be a nest of thieves.

Green Neil, a blond child, was sitting alone on the balcony of the villa with sunny mouthfuls, eating butter bread gracefully, and holding a glass of ordinary milk.

This is his breakfast and the beginning of his ordinary day.

Looking up at the herringbone roof that blocked the morning light, Green Neil sighed lightly, full of emotion and helplessness that adults would have. As he grew older, he had become a little confused about his life day after day...

Ten days ago, Green Neal had just celebrated his thirteenth birthday. Those who helped him celebrate were Mr. Sieg and his best friends.

It should have been a happy day, but when Green Neal blew out the thirteen candles on the cake, a hint of sadness and confusion arose in his heart: Am I a thief or a nobleman? What is my future...

Green Neil is an orphan, and at least after remembering, the only one who cared for him was Mr. Zieg.

Zieg not only acted as Greene's parents, but also was a very strict teacher. Since Greene was three years old, Zieg asked him to get up at 6 o'clock every day, jog for half an hour, recite for half an hour, and then have a simple breakfast.

Although breakfast is simple, it requires more requirements. Be elegant in behavior, eat appropriately, chew slowly, and speak without showing your teeth... In short, it is completely teaching Little Green based on the standards of a nobleman...

If Little Green can't do it, or if it is slightly deviated, Zieg's board will fall down without any mercy!

Little Green is determined by nature. Even if he is beaten to the point where his back turns blue, he will only grit his teeth and persevere, because he learned from the articles he read every day that the education that Sieger gave himself is to cultivate a qualified aristocrat! To be a superior aristocrat, it is natural to endure hardship.

However, when Little Green grew up to seven years old, the aristocratic dream was like colorful soap bubbles, and suddenly broke.

That day, Zieg brought a group of children of similar age to Greene, and then gathered them together and announced to them: "From tomorrow, you will go to the streets and alleys of Basel, and see people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and find ways to hook out their wallets and bring them back!"

Zieg actually wanted Green to be a pickpocket! Seven-year-old little Green was stunned on the spot! That night, he cried all night. The tears he shed even overwhelmed the total of the years before!

After Green cried, he still had to listen to Siegel, so from that day on the streets and alleys of Basel, there were a group of smart children. They cooperated with each other and specially selected wealthy foreigners to attack. Correspondingly, the local Basel Bureau of Stolen Cases are also increasing year by year.

Green was very smart, and his pickpocketing skills were soon outstanding among his friends. And many of the various stealing tactics were also made by him. Naturally, he became the leader of this group of children.

Watching the wallet transfer from the pockets of those big belly people to his hands without realizing it, counting the spoils every night, and smiling with his new partners, counting the colorful banknotes of various countries, Green suddenly felt that he seemed to have found his life goal!

"I don't want to be a nobleman, I want to be the number one thief in the world!" Seven-year-old Green shouted to the sky one night.

As a result, Zieg walked out with a cold face, grabbed Green and beat him up. He beat the confident "thief" to his butt, his voice was hoarse, and his mind was covered in mud.

"Remember, you are not a thief. From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to be the head of these little pickpockets again! Green, if I find out that you have led a pickpocketing operation, I will beat your butt to death at night!" Zieg said viciously to Green, who was covered in tears.

At this point, Green's second dream in his life also turned into a soap bubble and was ruthlessly pierced by Zieg.

Since then, Green accidentally injured her wrist during a pickpocketing operation and withdrew from the throne of the child's head "regretfully". At the same time, Zieg's aristocratic training for Green not only did not reduce, but increased the number of training, and every night, Green was trained to death.

The conversation, instrument, manners required to attend the upper party...the basic content of mathematics, philosophy, military...horse riding, fencing, shooting, navigation...Green's age from seven to twelve, in five years, Zieg seemed to have transformed into the most learned professor, tirelessly instilling a huge amount of knowledge into Green.

Since all this happened late at night and no one knew it, Green turned into a pickpocket who was scattered and waited for death, and was inexperienced in the public. And Zig became a black-hearted bully who "eats people without spitting out bones, exploits children's pickpockets" among outsiders.

The memories came to an abrupt end, because the bell in the house rang "Dangdang" and Green Neil sighed inwardly, picked up the milk at hand and drank it all.

He knew that it was Mr. Siegel's ringing the bell because the time for breakfast had passed.

Gracefully wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, Green walked into the house, and the sound of Zigg in the dark corner also sounded like a mechanical dryness: "Milk was drunk too quickly, and it made a sound when swallowing, and stretched out your hand."

Green reached out his hand and accepted the punishment of hitting the board with expressionless expression.

"Zig, are you going out to find food today?"

Green changed into a noble formal outfit, found a dirty jeans in the closet, and prepared to put them on.

"No need, there will be a guest coming this morning." Zieg stretched out his stick and pulled down his jeans, "Change in the palace clothes and put on the sword!"

After saying that, a movement came from the corner. Green knew that the butler Sieg had left.

"I actually have to wear a palace uniform and a sword? So formal, who will be the guests?"

Green tilted his head and thought for a second, and suddenly realized that he no longer had to turn into a gangster to go out for food today. He quickly corrected his posture, tidied up the curve of his lips, walked to another wardrobe meticulously, and opened the door...

"Go right in?"

The carriage he was riding in had left. On the banks of the Rhine, Long Hao and four of them lined up in line, standing in front of Green's villa, looking at the closed door.

"I'll call the door."

Gemma held the small flower umbrella and moved her lotus steps slowly. She walked forward slowly.

Today, Princess Gemma is wearing a plain white gauze dress, noble and elegant, and outstanding, just like a noble snow lotus on a snow mountain.

Shortly after knocking, the door creaked open. From the hard sound, the door should have not been opened for a long time. The rusty hinges bumped into each other, and the harsh and sour teeth sounded from the ground.

The one who came out was the butler Zieg, who had a high nose and deep eyes, and a gloomy face, which was very consistent with the image of a black-hearted bully in people's hearts.

"The Princess is coming down, please come in."

When Zieg saw Gemma, he did not show any unnecessary expression on his face, but turned sideways, as if he had not seen Long Hao and the other two, and led Gemma directly to the villa.

Seeing this, Long Hao and the other two looked at each other and quickly followed.

Zieg led the four people to the first floor hall of a blue building, and put cigars and snacks in a regular manner. Then he stood at a staircase, leaned slightly, and said to Gemma: "Grimm is waiting on the third floor. According to the rules, His Royal Highness can only go up alone."

"Can't you accompany me?" Long Hao frowned. He asked as he looked at the steep rise and the dark wooden staircase at the end.

"No!" Zieg shook his head and refused firmly.

"Not even one person?"

"No one can do it. If the princess is afraid, she can leave." Zieg is like a mechanical puppet guarding the treasure, with a cold face and no room for comfort. "This is the rule set by the princess' father. She meets Green. Except for me, no one else is allowed."

Long Hao also wanted to object and fought for it, but Gemma reached out and grabbed it: "Since it was my father's intention, I am willing to abide by it! Butler Zieg sacrificed thirteen years for the Andrier family. He was loyal and would definitely not harm me. I will follow you alone!"

Gemma had made up her mind, so Long Hao no longer stopped him, but whispered: "After going up, the princess is careful. If there is any accident, remember the steps we discussed yesterday..."

Gemma's crystal clear eyes widened, and nodded while looking at the stairs, "Well, I'll be careful!"

When Gemma walked up the stairs and disappeared at the end of the darkness, Zigg followed her up. Before leaving, she glanced at Long Hao and the other three with meaningful eyes.

"Hmph, this butler Zieg is really uncomfortable. He is worthy of being a villain who forces children to be pickpockets!" When Zieg's figure completely disappeared, Schelling Mill patted his towering chest, as if he had breathed a breath of turbid air that had been holding it for a long time.

"Yes, it seems that I am staring at the venomous snake, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body." Wei Feng agreed with Schellingmere's statement.

"Wow, you feel this way too! Yes, you're just staring at by a poisonous snake! Woo, it's so disgusting..."

"Haha, the villains in the world are slightly the same, slightly the same."

Shelinmire communicated with Weifeng, then turned to look at Long Hao who was concentrating on the snacks on the table, and said in surprise: "Sir Earl, you can still eat... are you not worried about Princess Gemma at all?"

"What's there to worry about!"

Long Hao chewed the snacks in big mouthfuls until they were scattered, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I have equipped Princess Gemma with a secret weapon. A gangster who only dares to act like a mighty child's head will not hurt her!"

"Secret weapon? Why don't I know?"

Shelinmire's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "I was there when I discussed last night. What is it? What is that secret weapon?"

Long Hao shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"

"Tsk, is that rare?"

...

Green changed into a palace uniform and sat upright behind the desk.

It was a set of clothes with a red and yellow color, solemn and majestic. From a distance, it looked like a prince reviewing memorials at his desk.

However, the prince's mouth has not yet taken off, and it looks a little tender.

Green was flipping through a book, his eyes fell on the ancient words, but his thoughts had already flew away: What kind of guest is it, and I need to wait so solemnly?

Intuition tells Green that the guests are not ordinary, and today will be an extraordinary day.

"Tao tram", familiar footsteps came from outside the door, Green's eyes quickly regained their strength, and his waist was straightened: for thirteen years, General Manager Zieg's footsteps remained unchanged, just like the clocks made by watchmakers in this country, which were extremely accurate.

"Young Master, please come out and greet..."

The steps stopped, but this time, there was no familiar knock on the door. Zieg's hoarse voice sounded outside the door, which made Green stunned: Are the guests here? Do you want me to go out to greet them?

“…Welcome the noble Princess Gemma Andrill!”

Zieg finished speaking at this time, Green stood up and his feet were messed up: Oh, it was a princess who came! No wonder General Zieg attaches so much importance to it!

Green grabbed the gorgeous sword on the table and walked out quickly. As soon as the door opened, he was a little stunned.

A girl with an extremely beautiful appearance and pure water, wearing a white gauze dress and standing next to Zieg with a smile. At this moment, Green suddenly felt an urge to push Zieg away: What a beautiful angel, what a beautiful picture! She was ruined by Zieg's coffin face.

"Are you Green?" The beautiful girl spoke. As Green thought, her voice was so wonderful, just like a lark on a tree.

"Yeah! Yes, noble... Your Highness, my name is Green Neil." Green was a little embarrassed and ashamed, because he could not remember Gemma's name at all.

"snort!"

Zieg's gong-like nasal sound broke Green's nervousness, "This is Princess Gemma Andrier, she is your sister!"

elder sister?!

Green Neil was stunned and his head was messy... His eyes widened, and he looked at Gemma and Zieg in disbelief, and then rubbed his ears hard. The sword on his waist was tilted... At this moment, Green's noble demeanor disappeared.

Sister? I have a sister? She is my sister? My sister is here to see me?...

For a moment, Green's head was full of these words fighting.

"Don't be stunned. What are you doing when standing at the door? Go in and talk!"

Zieg was very dissatisfied with Green's performance. His thirteen years of education seemed to be wasted. In the noble demeanor, were he not surprised when he was about to change? What about him who was about to be calm in the face of danger? What about him who was about to be happy and angry?

Have you all been eaten by dogs?
