Bart's fight was the last one in the arena today. After it ended, the spectators in the stands gradually dispersed, leaving only the slaves resting in the outfield and the stewards of the arena.
Ares walked slowly into every corner of the Arena. This was his habit. Whenever he went to a new place, he would explore the surrounding terrain and buildings. Bart sat there and chatted with Hala, whom he had just met, learning about the gladiatorial arena at an extremely fast speed.
"So, if there is no one to help, once you can't climb on the boat, you will be thrown here to feed the crocodiles?" Bart looked at the unconscious or dead people on the "disk" from a distance: "Outsiders are right, the arena of Rose Manor is indeed hell."
"That was in the past. Ever since Her Highness Elizabeth started planting roses in the Arena, the people she led would transport the slaves left on the "dick" to the prison. As long as they were lucky, they would survive." Hala said about that Highness, his eyes couldn't help but bring some light.
"Her Highness Elizabeth seems to be a kind girl." Bart touched his chin and asked curiously: "Is she good-looking? I always hear people praising her beauty outside."
"Hahaha," Hala couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Highness, she is far from being kind. She simply dislikes the slaves lying on the "disk" preventing her from digging soil, but her beauty is real."
Bart had seen countless people, and average looks would not amaze him, and inwardly he also felt that most of the reasons the Highness's beauty was praised was because of her noble birth.
So he asked casually: "How beautiful is it?"
Hala leaned on the wooden post, squinting his eyes as if he were remembering something: "She is so beautiful that you can't bear to push her away when she stabs you with a knife."
"Hahaha." Bart couldn't help laughing: "You are exaggerating. Has she ever stabbed you?"
"Not really." Hala shook his head, looking a little regretful: "But the fourth-ranked Asius in the gladiatorial arena has done this kind of thing, her highness stabbed him, but he wasn't angry at all, instead, he bled and jumped into the beast prison and helped her highness pick up the fallen bracelet."
Bart found it incredible. He was a little interested and leaned forward a little bit and asked, "What happened next?"
"Her Highness disliked the fact that the bracelet was dirty, and felt that Asius was indeed loyal, so he rewarded him with the bracelet." Hala said enviously: "That bracelet was priceless, and it was bought from Asius by the nobles in the city. After leaving, Asius used the money to redeem his mother and sister from the secret prison. Now his sister has entered the castle and is serving Her Highness. She is the closest person to Her Highness."
Bart raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Don't you think that Her Highness Elizabeth is kind-hearted and does good deeds around the corner?"
Hala smiled mysteriously and said: "You will know when you meet Her Highness. She is really beautiful, noble, and rich, but she is not kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the arena was pushed open. With the bright sunlight outside, an exquisite and luxurious carriage drove into the arena. Four servants took the lead and ran under the carriage with red carpets in their arms. They skillfully spread the carpet under the carriage.
The door of the carriage was pushed open, and the first person to come out was a girl with black hair and chocolate skin, wearing a green skirt. Her delicate little face had no expression but was very beautiful.
Bart watched intently for a while, He was about to say that beauty is beautiful, but it was not to that extent. Unexpectedly, the girl in the green skirt jumped out of the carriage neatly, turned her head, and stretched out her hand towards the carriage.
A slender white hand stretched out from the carriage and lazily placed it on the wrist of the girl in the green dress. Then the next second, a pure white girl wearing an extremely bright red dress walked out of the gorgeous carriage.
Her skin was as white as snow, so white that it almost glowed in the dim arena. Her golden curly hair was illuminated by the sun behind her, forming a beautiful halo that seemed out of place with everything around her.
If Beauty could kill, all she had to do was show her face and kill everyone on the battlefield!
Hala looked at Bart proudly and said in a proud tone: "How is it? Did I exaggerate? Did you see the girl in the green skirt next to Her Highness? She is Bili, the sister of Asius, who is recognized as a beauty, but she is completely green leaf beside Her Highness."
"No!" Bart replied without hesitation: "I believe she is an angel. Oh God, how can she be so beautiful?"
Hala curled his lips and smiled, thinking that Her Highness had nothing to do with angels. Sure enough, the next second, the girl who was as beautiful as an oil painting pulled out her golden fan, held it in front of her small and delicate face, and gently raised her eyebrows, the disgust was revealed.
She raised her slender palm and waved it in the air a few times. She covered her nose and frowned as she said something, couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, but it was not a good thing.
Hala has become accustomed to the arrogant Highness's dislike of the arena. Without getting too close, he can imagine that she must be frowning and saying: The smell here is as disgusting as ever.
Hala's imagination was correct, Elizabeth was holding her nose and hating the arena.
This is her daily life: coming here, hating it, and insulting it are all things she must do every day.
Even the disgusting words today have not been changed, they are still the same as yesterday.
After she finished cursing, she held her head high, put her hand on Bili's arm, stepped on beautiful high heels, and walked on the path specially paved for her with a red carpet.
In the muddy arena, because of the expensive carpet, her expensive high heels and skirt were not stained by a trace of dirt.
With Bili's support, she walked to the boat heading to the "disk". The servants held a carpet in each hand and hurriedly spread it forward, fearing that her skirt would be stained with any dirt.
As the proud princess of a lord, Elizabeth certainly would not be grateful for their efforts. She naturally jumped on the boat specially built for her and headed to the "disc" with her servants.
As soon as she arrived on the "disk", all she could see was dazzling blood and a twisted body.
Elizabeth's heart tightened, and her pretended indifference and arrogance cracked for a moment. She tightened the folding fan in her hand and said in a cold tone: "Go and see if anyone is alive. If there is, throw them to prison, don't let them delay me digging the soil here."
The servant laid a circular carpet for her in the center of the disk so that she would not stain her clothes, and then went to dig through the bodies of those people.
Soon, the body was moved to the boat and transported to the prison.
Those are all alive, and now they can be transported to the prison to avoid the fate of being eaten by the crocodile that crawls out at night.
In the second month after Elizabeth arrived here, she saw a scene of a crocodile climbing on the "disc" and biting a living slave to death. She had nightmares for two days in a row because of that scene.
As the most arrogant and indifferent Her Royal Highness in Rose Manor, she naturally cannot act to protect slaves. This will destroy her character setting, arouse others' suspicion, and will also be punished by the consciousness of the world.
So it took her a long time to come up with this method: because roses need to be planted with blood soil, after the gladiatorial fight, the slaves who were still alive but unable to get out of the "disc" were sent to the prison on the other side of the river so that they could survive.
But even if she thought of such a comprehensive method, some people would still doubt her because of her behavior of saving slaves, so in addition to saving living people, she also needed to use dead people to eliminate other people's suspicions.
Her father was a complete feudal lord who despised and hated slaves from the bottom of his heart. The original Elizabeth, who was raised by him, also regarded the lives of slaves as insignificant, so she must not show reverence for life, otherwise, there would be big problems.
Elizabeth remembered the words of a child in the castle today who said that Her Highness was kind, beautiful, and an angel. Her eyes were slightly cold, and she looked sideways at the slave whose hands and feet were twisted into twists, and whose head was broken and died. She looked at Billi beside her, reaching out her hand: "Give me a knife."
Billi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Elizabeth's expression, and pulled out the dagger from her dress: "What is Your Highness going to do?"
"The bird of paradise pot in my father's palace has not bloomed well recently." Elizabeth stepped on the carpet and walked to the corpse, with a meaningful smile on her beautiful face: "I guess the soil is not good enough, so I think we need to dig some good soil and send it over."
As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth took a dagger and slashed the corpse's neck. Fine blood flowed out, eroding the soil beneath her body.
With a smile on her lips, Elizabeth made several more cuts on other parts. In an instant, the entire body was eroded by blood.
People at that time believed in God and felt that people belonged to God after death.
They generally did not do anything disrespectful towards corpses. Even the corpses of slaves are simply left unattended to be dragged away by crocodiles.
Therefore, Elizabeth's behavior made the crowd watching outside the "disc" take a breath. Nobles have always had a habit of unknown cruelty, but most of them were in the dark and would not be in the open like this, facing a slave's body in front of a group of slaves to do such a bad thing is a provocation.
A slave drops his hands to the ground and makes a dull sound to express his dissatisfaction.
Elizabeth heard it, her eyes fell on the angry slave, her mouth curled up, and the next second she stabbed the knife into the chest of the corpse, and the sound of skin breaking and disemboweling could be heard.
Elizabeth laughed, her beautiful voice full of arrogance.
After laughing, she pulled out the knife again as if she was planning to do it again. Bili looked at her slightly trembling hands and slightly pale lips, without hesitation, she bent down and grabbed Elizabeth's knife, saying softly: "Your Highness, don't do this, watch your hands, leave this little thing to me."
As she spoke, she ignored Elizabeth's resistance and directly took the knife and stabbed holes in the poor man.
Elizabeth held her head high and hid her trembling hands in the folds of her skirt, and then gave an order to the servant behind her: "When the soil is moist enough, dig it out and send it to Father's palace."
After saying that, she asked Bili to get on the boat and left the arena. She looked at the group of angry slaves with disdain and then got on the carriage and drove away from the arena.
Soon, rumors spread quietly from the gladiatorial arena that Elizabeth had a cruel personality and would even spare corpses to grow flowers.
Elizabeth didn't hear it, but the children in the castle finally stopped judging her as a kind angel, and Elizabeth was very satisfied with this.
After seeing this, Bart finally understood why Hala said that Her Royal Highness Elizabeth was far from being kind. Let alone being kind, it was simply an act of the devil.
Bart's complaints weren't enough, he told Ares vividly, who had just been surveying the arena and hadn't seen that scene.
Ares walked in front, describing the arena and houses he saw in his mind, and was not interested in the brutal Her Highness Bart mentioned.
Until Bart said: "Although Her Royal Highness Elizabeth has a cruel and bad character, to be honest, there should be no more beautiful girl than her in the world."
Ares paused slightly, thinking of the girl in the mist.
