She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 87: Girl Jenna.

Jenna was born in a rare family in the village.

Most of the families in this village are tenant farmers, only Jenna and a few have their own land. According to Jenna’s father, his great-grandfather was once made a knight by the lord because of his bravery in combat. It is a pity that the knight died in combat shortly after he was entrusted, leaving only some real estate. After several generations of careful management, by the generation of Jenna’s father, the amount of land they own has doubled, and they have hired several people to help with it, and the benefits are very substantial.

Jenna’s father is a knight fan. The greatest ideal in life is to have a son so that he can find a teacher to teach him swordsmanship and train him to become a knight. It’s a pity that he only has a daughter, Jenna, so the original plan had to be dismissed. Even so, he was not discouraged. He raised Jenna carefully and hired a tutor for her, determined to train her as a lady and marry her to a noble family.

Jenna is actually not particularly beautiful, but because she often reads and rarely does farm work outside, it makes her skin more delicate and there are no freckles on her face, making her a beauty in the village. Since she was sixteen years old, many people of comparable rank have come to propose marriage. But Jenna’s father wanted her to marry a nobleman, and turned them down.

It’s also a coincidence that at this moment, the knight who owns a large piece of land in the village has been widowed for a year, and is about to marry a well-off, low-status, well-knowing successor.

The knight’s deceased wife came from a noble family, leaving him with a son who was close to adulthood. Most of the property under his name is real estate, and the working capital in his hand basically comes from the dowry of his deceased wife, which needs to be returned to his son after he reaches adulthood. Now that his son is coming of age, the knight is facing the dilemma of no money, so it is especially necessary to have such a well-fed continuation string to bring a dowry to save him from the fire and water. Considering that he may have other children after the renewal, the status of the new lady should not be too high. Because this might harm the interests of his eldest son, the relatives of his deceased wife had to quarrel with him. For the sake of family harmony, the knight must find such a continuation.

Such a person is hard to find nearby. It happened that the knight heard that there was such a girl in their family, so he asked the village chief to come to their house to propose marriage.

Although Jenna’s father showed a hesitant expression in front of the village chief, expressing his love for his daughter in a timely manner, and said that he should consider it, but when the village chief left, he was overjoyed and said to Jenna’s mother:

“Did you hear that? Jenna is going to become the lady of the Cavaliers, and our family can finally restore the glory of the Cavaliers!”

My father discussed with the village chief many times, and went to the mansion to meet with the knight who was older than himself, and finally settled the marriage completely in the New Year.

During the whole process of negotiating marriage, no one came to ask Jenna, no one even mentioned it to her. It seemed that no one thought she needed to know her marriage. She only knew a little from the conversations of others, that her father wanted to marry her to the knight, and that her wedding was probably scheduled for March, when spring just arrived.

She had met the knight. The respectable knight was the largest landlord in the area. He often walked on the field paths. Every tenant farmer who saw him bowed to him. Jenna didn’t know how old he was, but he was at least forty or fifty years old-the white hair on his head was already like snow on the mountain. Jenna felt that if she married this person, her winter would probably never end.

At the end of January, the neighboring village set up some sheds in the open space in the middle of the village to start a market. This market will last for half a month. According to people who have been there, the market is very big and there are many interesting things, young girls will like it.

Therefore, the girls in the village of Jenna decided to go to the market together to see what good things were there, and then drink some famous cider in the tavern in the neighboring village.

Jenna’s father was reluctant to let her go to the market. In his opinion, there were too many people in the market and it was very dangerous. And he was not willing to let her play with those vulgar little girls in the village. “They will take Jenna bad.” He always said that.

But Jenna pleaded with him:

“When I get married, it will be even more impossible to go!”

This is the first time Jenna has talked to her father about her marriage. Perhaps Jenna’s appearance is so pitiful, she still made her father feel a little compassionate, and reluctantly let go:

“Okay, then you go.”

Although he was relieved like this, he did not give her the necessary pocket money to go to the market. Maybe he thinks she can come back a little earlier as long as she doesn’t give pocket money. Jenna understood his temper and did not ask him for money, because she actually had twenty or thirty copper coins, which she secretly saved by doing needlework for others. Although this money can’t do much, at least it can buy a glass of wine.

Jenna went to the fair with the girls in the village.

There are so many interesting things in the market, and the one that attracts the attention of the girls the most is a magical parrot carried by an old man. As long as you pay the parrot a copper coin, it will select one from a large box of colorful papers and pass it to the girl. Their future destiny was written on the note.

This is the girl’s favorite game. It’s a bargain to know your future destiny for just one copper coin.

The old man can read the words written on the note to the illiterate girls for free, but the girls in the village prefer to let Jenna read them. Because Jenna will not deliberately tamper with the words on it to make them happy, and talk nonsense about some messy content.

“Fate has to be good or bad,” the girls said. “This is exciting.”

Although the girls all say so, the content on the note is much the same, it’s nothing more than when they will get married and what kind of person they will marry. Occasionally there will be special notes such as “travel the world”, “marry a rich man” or “have seven children”, and those who get drawn will always look particularly excited. Of course no one will take these content seriously, but those who get particularly good content always secretly expect it to be true in their hearts.

The girls urged Jenna to come to the fortune-telling too, but Jenna knew her future fate a long time ago. Besides, she doesn’t have much money, so she doesn’t really want to spend it here. But she read the note for a long time in front of the stall, and the old man saw her hard work, so he handed her a copper coin:

“Let the parrot give you a fortune-telling for free.”

This was an unexpected surprise. Jenna followed the example of other girls and handed the copper coins to the parrot. The parrot put the money in the small bag, then took out a light blue note and placed it in Jenna’s hand.

The girls all leaned forward curiously:

“What did your note say?”

Jenna unfolded the note and read the words on it:

“Your destiny begins today.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.” Jenna showed them the note. “It’s just such a short sentence, and then it’s gone.”

Seeing such an ambiguous fate, the girls felt boring. Jenna was a little bit seduced, wondering what it meant. While the girls were chatting about each other’s fate, a few strangers in strange clothes suddenly appeared from the other side of the road, and the crowd retreated automatically, leaving them a way.

The atmosphere is so strange, the curious girls quietly asked the old fortune teller:

“Old man, who are those? Why are everyone so scared?”

“Those people are magicians.” The old man with a fortune-telling parrot told them in a low voice, “They believe in the **** of the night, Ludenier, and have real mana. Those people can’t afford to offend… some powerful magicians are better than the noble masters. The power is still great!”

After hearing the words of the fortune-teller, the girls also hid behind the stall. But they were very curious and looked at those people secretly.

Among the group of men and women, one person stands out.

This person is half a head taller than the others, and he seems to be the leader of the crowd. The robe on his body has gorgeous tattoos, which is dazzling. Jenna had never seen such a gorgeous thing, nor had she seen… such a good-looking person, she felt a little dumbfounded.

The magicians quickly walked over, and the girls went to play elsewhere, laughing and joking. Jenna thought she would never see those people again in this life. But in the evening, when a few girls went to the tavern to drink cider together, the wizards appeared again.

They walked into the tavern, occupied the corner of the table, and ordered some cider. Everyone in the tavern tried to avoid looking there, but Jenna couldn’t help but look back. The red hair of the mage reflected in her eyes, causing a special desire to grow in her heart.

She remembered the words written on the note the parrot gave her:

“Your destiny begins today.”

Is the encounter with the magician the beginning of a new destiny?

Unclear whether it came from the agitation of that note or to resist her long-determined fate, Jenna was determined to do something bold, something extraordinary. She knew that if she didn’t do it today, in the next two months, she might never get out of the sight of her parents, and then she would have no freedom when she got married. All in all, there is only one chance to get out of control, and she must seize the opportunity.

During this time, a bard has been stationed in the tavern. The tavernkeeper cleared a small empty field in the shop, so that those who wanted to dance could dance with the accompaniment of the bard. Although this is not a dance party, it is also a rare opportunity to relax. The girls who came with Jenna were all invited, blushing and bright eyes.

Jenna wants to dance too, but she doesn’t want to dance with anyone. She has made up her mind to let herself spend an unforgettable evening.

So she walked over to the magicians in the corner.

Seeing her walking over, all the wizards showed surprise eyes. In this kind of closed village, most people choose to avoid the magician, usually, no one will come to talk to them.

Looking at their eyes, Jenna became even more nervous, unable to say a word, just looking at the handsome red-haired man. And he looked at her with a smile:

“Hello, little pigeon. What can I do to find the magician?”

The red-haired mage’s tone was unexpectedly gentle, which somewhat aroused Jenna’s courage and made her speak out her wish:

“Can you please dance with me?”
