Chapter 375 Enemy Attack
The long-awaited highland breeze brushed against Kexi's face.
Today, he is fifteen years old.
More than two years have passed since he was forced to flee the plateau.
Two years have passed so quickly, it's like the blink of an eye.
Everything he once valued has been lost in the past two years.
If it weren't for Harriet by his side, he would have given up long ago.
But Cathy felt that she hadn't wasted her time.
He felt that he was still more commendable than he had been before.
Although he still couldn't like himself.
Cathy felt that she had become stronger than before and was no longer as naive, but sometimes she still had a soft heart.
Kathy lay on the parapet of the tower, gazing at every blade of grass, every tree, every hill, and every rock on the plateau.
This is the Lines Plateau, and these things should belong to Casey.
But he's just a nobody, does he really deserve so much?
He remembered his childhood in Whitewood City, where he lived in a high tower.
The towers of Whitewood are much older than these, but also much taller and more sturdier.
The place was fully furnished, and he had countless people who cared about him.
As a child, he loved to run to the top of the tower and gaze towards the cliff.
That was when he was escaping his own weakness; only in this way could he forget the self who couldn't do anything right.
Bekas always took Kathy away quickly, saying he was afraid the merciless cold wind would bring him a cold.
Cathy is always very obedient.
He can't do anything right, at least he should be obedient.
Looking back now, he wishes he could have spent more time with Pegasus instead of wasting those hours daydreaming and escaping.
And I'm still spacing out, Cathy thought, should I go and keep Harriet company?
Of course, Cathy wanted to stay by Harriet's side; he loved the girl so much that he didn't want to be apart from her for even a moment.
But he also understood that he couldn't go to Harriet right now.
Peggy is also in the tower. If Cassie is always with Harriet, then Peggy will be too lonely.
Therefore, Cathy assigned Harriet to look after Peggy, resulting in the two of them spending far less time together than they did at the library.
That's why Cathy felt she had been too soft-hearted.
He clearly didn't like Peggy, but he still thought about her.
But since he used Dick to do things, he has to take responsibility for Peggy.
Kashi took a deep breath of the high-altitude air, and the coolness of his hometown brought him a sense of peace.
However, Kathy understood that she couldn't let herself get caught up in these emotions.
Perhaps Cathy thought, "I should think about what to do."
If there were a book right now, Cathy would want to settle down and read it.
He's not cut out for martial arts, but he should at least increase his knowledge and learn more ways of thinking.
Diligence is the only quality that Cathy considers to be in herself.
Many people praise Cathy for her diligence, but as someone with average talent, Cathy understands the harsh reality that diligence cannot necessarily make up for lack of ability.
Nevertheless, Cathy hopes that someone will praise her when she works hard.
No one dislikes praise.
But who can praise him now?
Thinking about it carefully, there's only one person who still has him in their heart:
"Harriet—"
"Did you call me?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Kathy's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly stood up and turned around.
I saw the tall Harriet, who blocked the dark sun overhead.
"When did you arrive?" Cathy asked in surprise.
"Just arrived," Harriet said, her expression like that of a hungry she-wolf. "Were you just secretly calling my name?"
"I wasn't doing it secretly; I was just muttering to myself."
"But what you murmured was my name," Harriet's smile was truly sharp, "You missed me?"
Kathy didn't want to answer the question; it was too embarrassing.
He quickly changed the subject: "You should be with Peggy."
"I've been with her long enough," Harriet said with a hint of complaint.
Kathy then became serious and said in a solemn tone:
"You can't do that, Harriet. She's a guest of the Highlands. You can't treat a guest like that."
"I know Casey, and—I actually quite like Peggy too, you know. I don't have many friends, and it would be interesting for me to have a woman to talk to, but then you'd be all alone."
"I'm fine."
It's really okay, Cathy thought. I'm used to being alone.
"But today is different," Harriet's expression softened, "Today is your birthday, and it would be too pitiful if you were all alone on your birthday."
"I'm fine, Harriet, don't worry about me," Cathy said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm worried, Cathy," Harriet's eyes grew even more intense, "I just want to be with you, that's all."
This answer suddenly brought tears to Cathy's eyes.
He was on the verge of tears.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Now he should thank those rats for saving him from losing face in front of Harriet.
"Thank you, Harriet."
Then Harriet hugged Cassie: "Happy birthday, Cassie!"
"Um."
Cathy couldn't help but put her arm around Harriet's waist.
He felt Harriet's firm skin and wanted to use her as a pillow, holding her in his arms.
"besides-"
Harriet suddenly bent down and cupped Cassie's face in her hands. Her eyes were alluring yet greedy, so much so that Cassie dared not look at her and closed her eyes beforehand.
"I--
"Whoosh~"
Before Harriet could finish speaking, a horn sounded and reached Cathy's ears.
The voice interrupted Harriet's words and also interrupted Cathy's inner emotions.
He opened his eyes, broke free from Harriet's arms, leaned against the wall, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
He saw a small group of armored soldiers approaching the foot of the city wall.
Kathy recognized them from the emblems on their armor as a group of warriors from Stonebridge Tower.
Damn it! How did these people suddenly appear here?!
Moreover, since they sounded the horn, does that mean they believed there were enemies inside the tower?
Or perhaps, they hope to make contact with the tower?
Just then, Peggy's voice suddenly reached Cathy's ears:
"What happened?"
Kathy turned around and saw Peggy walking anxiously to the rooftop.
"I'm not sure, but they should be the enemy."
"The enemy?" Peggy looked down anxiously. "What about Dick? Is Dick alright?"
"I don't know," Casey said. "Can you understand the sound of the horn?"
Peggy shook her head.
She really is a rich young lady.
But Casey wasn't much better off.
So, the tower is now being guarded by three complete novices?
Harriet asked Cathy, "Cathy, what should we do?"
Kathy suddenly remembered that, although they were all novices, he was the only man among them.
He was also a duke!
Haha! Heaven really sent me a wonderful birthday gift!
For a lord, the truly valuable talent is not martial arts or knowledge, but leadership and command skills.
Does Kathy also lack talent in this area?
He wasn't sure, but now was an opportunity to verify the truth.
Even so, he could only command two maids.
He took a deep breath, breathing carefully, and then said to the two women in front of him:
"Pick up your weapons, girls, it's time to fight!"
