Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

Chapter 88 He only has himself to blame

Half an hour ago, outside the gates of Glorious Prison.

Linde looked up at the raven overhead, his expression regretful.

Not long ago, he found out where his father, Baron Jefferson, lived.

Send a raven to deliver a letter to the sister, Colisa, there, hoping to bring her back to Sunflower Manor.

Unfortunately, after excitedly jumping around, the younger sister shook her head and refused.

She simply sent a letter back, telling her brother to take good care of himself, as she needed to stay with their mother to look after her.

Baron Jefferson is not doing well lately.

As Jason consolidated his power, the opposition barons and nobles were constantly suppressed, and their influence diminished considerably.

Linde didn't seem to care much about his father's safety.

Now that they have abandoned their territories, the relationship between the two sides is broken, and they should each mind their own business.

But the younger sister, Colisa, was different; she was just an innocent little girl caught in the middle.

Linde and his sister have always had a good relationship.

They originally planned to take her with them after arriving in Fengya City, but it seems that the younger sister does not want to be separated from her family.

There's no rush for now.

Unlike the outer city, the inner city where Colisa is located is considered the most stable place in Windcliff City.

To be honest, it's safer than Linde's current Sunflower Farm.

"Let's go."

Kayla's voice came through.

The ravens lurked in the shadows.

Linde changed into knight's attire and, led by Kayla, stepped through the gates of Radiant Prison.

As one of the landmark buildings of Windcliff City, in addition to the radiant Sun Disc Tower, the prison itself is also enormous in scale.

The total area exceeds 1,000 mu, equivalent to 67 Sunflower Manors.

There are three ordinary prison cells and one noble prison cell inside.

Ordinary prison cells are used to detain civilian criminals and consist of one floor above ground and four floors underground.

Above ground, petty thieves are detained for short periods; underground, serious crimes are punished with long-term imprisonment.

The noble prison was used to detain criminal nobles from within the city and captured nobles from other places.

Despite being called a prison, the interior is as luxurious as a manor, complete with a restaurant, a hospital, and even exclusive maid services.

Linde took a look around when he passed by.

Seeing that there were far more service staff than noble prisoners, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The world of martial arts isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social dynamics, and the principles apply everywhere.

After paying their ransoms and returning home, the nobles imprisoned here will probably praise the prison environment in Fengya City, saying it deserves a good review.

The reality of the prison was different from what Lind had imagined.

This led him to a question.

Would attacking the prison really attract the attention of the Knights of Glory and the Church?

You have to understand that human rights are not a priority in this era.

Ordinary criminals who enter here face harsher penalties depending on the severity of their crimes.

The hardened criminals imprisoned underground are almost all on their last breath; even if they open the door, they can forget about escaping.

It's unrealistic to expect them to create chaos.

To attract attention, they really need to extinguish the solar disk.

"That's Lady Camilla's office up ahead. I've already prepared a report and obtained permission to meet her. Please follow me."

Kayla led the way, offering reminders.

Linde nodded, withdrew his observing gaze, and followed closely in her footsteps.

Due to staff reductions at Glory Prison, only one of the original three sentry posts remains.

With Kayla's internal coordination, the two quickly entered the central area.

Kayla knocked on the warden's office door.

"Come in."

A deep, steady female voice came from inside.

Kayla glanced at Lind, suppressed her excitement, and opened the door.

"Sir Kayla, what brings you here? Hmm? It seems you've brought other guests."

Camilla looked up, her eyebrows raised.

Behind Kayla, a young knight wearing a radiant cloak entered.

His aura was completely concealed, and she hadn't even noticed his presence until she saw him.

"Interesting, an uninvited guest. What brings you here?"

"Lind Senwright, representing sunflowers and hyacinths, has come to visit."

Linde took out the hyacinth ring and put it on the middle finger of her left hand, symbolizing her status as her fiancé.

During this process, he also sized up the female knight in front of him.

She has long purple hair and wears a tight-fitting equestrian outfit with a cinched waist.

Her tall figure paired with black women's boots makes her look even more capable and elegant.

Camilla Yacintos, known as the "Axe of Judgment," is one of the three vice-commanders of the Knights of Light and one of the strongest warriors in the city.

According to the magic power levels set by Linde, Camilla's strength is around 1v13, second only to the White Bear King.

They are strong, but not to the point of being unbeatable.

Just as Lind and Camilla were sizing each other up.

Kayla, worried about a misunderstanding, quickly explained, "Lady Camilla, Lord Lind came on behalf of Miss Tinia. She's not dead! She's in Blackrock City right now!"

"We must immediately organize a knightly order and bring Miss back to Windcliff City. We cannot allow Jason to continue his rampage!"

Camilla glanced at her and replied, "I know Tinia is alive better than anyone."

"I recommended Wayne to Jason. I know his personality well; he won't hurt the child."

Kayla stood there, stunned. "You knew? Then why didn't you?"

"This is none of your business," Camilla interrupted her, looking at Lind seriously. "Lord of the Sunflower, since Tinia has entrusted the ring to you, protect her well."

"Leave this place. Tell Tinia to stop interfering in Windcliff City's affairs, and it would be best if she forgot the name Hyacintos."

Kayla couldn't understand why Camilla, as the young lady's aunt, would say such a thing.

Therefore, he showed a disappointed and angry expression.

Lind then asked, "Can you tell me why? Tinia won't give up because of something like that."

Camilla stared at the hyacinth ring on his finger, remaining silent for a long time.

Finally, with a complicated look in his eyes, he said, "This is the result of my brother's own actions. He personally gave the king and the church a reason to attack him."

"Article Twelve of the Sky Church's Taboo Regulations: Anyone who commits adultery with their parents, children, or pure-blood siblings shall be stripped of their church membership and sentenced to death."

"Tell Tinia to stop doing anything foolish, and take that child and get as far away as possible."

After Camilla finished speaking, she turned around.

Kayla was baffled, not understanding what the church's taboos had to do with the current situation.

In that instant, Linde guessed what was going on and sighed in exasperation.

No wonder Jason was able to receive strong support from the King and the Church for murdering the Viscount and two male heirs, while the Glorious Knights remained silent.

No wonder Jason, despite not being a member of the Hyacinth family, was able to manage things while Tinia, the female heir, was alive.

They openly and legitimately occupied Fengya City.

The church's taboos, coupled with the illegitimate child challenge system in the northern provinces, all made sense.

"I see, Jason is the illegitimate son of the Viscount of Windcliff City, is that right?"

Linde spoke up.

After Camilla did not deny it, the guess was confirmed.

Since Jason is the viscount's illegitimate son, then the identity of his sister, Tinia's mother, the viscountess, is self-evident.

Just as Camilla said, it was all the Viscount of Windcliff's own fault.

It's one thing to marry someone of a close relative, but to insist on marrying one's own daughter and then be caught red-handed by the king.

The Knights of Light were bullied to the point of being unable to speak out, so what could they do but cling to their love?

Otherwise, Fengya City and the Hyacinth family will lose all their dignity!
