Luna Falls from the Sky

3 - Orphan

Maria resisted the discomfort and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Knight."

The strange language came out naturally, which seemed to be Spanish, but it was a little different from the Spanish she had learned.

"Mr. Knight, can you let me go first?"

Although Simon didn't want the beautiful girl to leave his arms, he got off the horse in advance when he saw the girl's frowning brows, and then carried the girl off the horse.

After realizing his impoliteness, Simon took off his helmet and smiled at Maria.

Maria found that the man without the helmet was unexpectedly handsome. He was tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and his facial features were as sharp as a sculpture.

With a set of silver armor, he was exactly the kind of knight in a fairy tale who could defeat the dragon, rescue the princess, win the princess' heart.

Maria's mind suddenly "dinged".

"Hello Maria, I am your exclusive system. Since the system detected that you rescued 1,000 animals in your previous life, I specially gave you a chance to be reborn and sent you to the Oluya continent.I exist in your mind, and no one else can hear my voice except you.”

'Don't be afraid, just follow me'

"Hello, Lord Earl, as you can see, I am indeed not a citizen of your country. I come from the distant Mercia."

With the help of the system, Maria quickly calmed down after the initial panic, and told Simon everything about her identity and origin according to the identity compiled by the system.

"The country where I originally lived is now at war. In order to avoid disaster, my family left their original homeland and split into several groups to migrate separately."

"The family line led by my father chose to sail out to sea to find a new home. "

"We were lucky to have come to this continent after crossing the ocean, but we had traveled through several countries but could not find a suitable place to settle down. My parents even died of illness on the way, leaving only me and my family's followers."

When she talked about her parents' death, she raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears, showing sadness.

"Who knew that those followers saw that I was the only one left, so they planned to take away my property and run away. I happened to hear it. I was very scared at the time, but I couldn't stop them. I could only take advantage of the night to pack up some gold and silver and escape. As a result, I encountered a group of wild boars in this forest, and hid in a tree in panic. "

'System, where did I get the gold and silver?'

'Don't worry, if they want to see them, you can lead them to find a tree hole, and I'll put the things in.'

Maria knew it wanted to take back her game package, so she disagreed: 'No, what if they get greedy for money?'

'I've checked, this earl is not a bad person for you.'

It's just that he has a strong desire for you, of course the system will not tell Maria this.

Although Maria's explanation was reasonable, Simon felt that she was clean and did not look like she was being chased by a wild boar.

Her long skirt looked more like an outfit for strolling in her own garden.

Simon subconsciously glanced at Maria's feet, and was surprised to find that even though the mysterious girl was standing on the weeds, her violet long skirt was not stained at all.

Simon, with sharp eyes, even saw the dewdrops falling from the grass leaves and sliding down the skirt without leaving any trace.

It didn't look like easily damaged silk at all.

What kind of fabric is this, so magical?

However, since it is such a magical fabric, it is normal that the girl doesn't look so embarrassed.

So, even if it is a system, it may not be able to tell a perfect lie, but Maria didn't realize that Simon had discovered her abnormality.

Although the identity background was not so perfect, it prepared a 100% simulated household registration document and customs clearance document for Maria, which was stamped with the national seals of all the countries that would pass through on the way from Maria's fictitious address to Andalus County.

Although if this document was taken to those countries, it would be found that there was no relevant record at all, just looking at this document, even officials of those countries could not find any traces of forgery.

It would take several months or even years to check these in those countries. It would take so much time and effort to go back and forth, and no one would do such a time-consuming and laborious thing with no benefit.

Of course, the system did not forge the national seal of the Iberia Empire to which Andalus County belonged, otherwise it would be too easy to be exposed.

And fortunately, Andalus County belongs to the border county of the Iberia Empire. Maria's claim that she ran away from a neighboring country is completely reasonable, and she is not afraid of Simon to check.

Although he still had doubts, Simon did not ask his questions, because the wolf blood in his body made him very sensitive to danger. This girl did not make him feel danger, and he wanted to coax the girl back to his castle, so he invited her to visit his castle.

"I can't let a lady in distress be alone. Since you have nowhere to go now, why don't you stay in my castle first? I'm also curious about what your country is like. If possible, can you tell me about the things there?"

Simon actually had no interest in the girl's hometown. He just made up a reason to invite Maria, but to Maria, this meant that the other party did not believe her words and wanted to test her.

It was obviously not in line with the image of a weak, helpless and orphan girl with nowhere to go that she had just created for herself, so although she didn't want to agree, Maria had to bite the bullet and accept his invitation.

"Can you please wait a moment? I hid the luggage I brought in this forest, and I need to get it back."

"Of course, please let me accompany you."
