Chapter 150 Sweet Apple
Thinking that Denisa had been following secretly, Lorna didn't want to play outside, and the three of them went back to the palace together.

The happiest one was Denisa. She found a store and bought a new pillow, and went to sleep happily after returning to the palace.

The Imperial Forest Army has eyeliners everywhere in the royal city. The news of Chino's killing the epidemic doctor on the street has been spread back a long time ago, and it was known by ministers at all levels.

After returning to the palace, Solandelle was tired, and Chino sent her back to the mansion to rest, and went to the restaurant to have afternoon tea by herself.

While eating, Sting sat across from him and looked at him seriously: "Did you kill a plague doctor in the street?"

Chino savored the rose cake in his hand, shrugged: "Is this something serious?"

"Are you joking? Of course this is a very serious matter!" Sting paused, his serious expression suddenly disappeared, and he laughed loudly, "Didn't you see that the king laughed so hard when he heard the news The bubbles are popping up! If he laughs until he loses his breath, do you think you are in trouble?"

Kino couldn't help smiling: "It sounds like the relationship between the royal family and the Scarlet Church is not good."

Sting: "Of course, after all, Suo cough. In short, the two sides are now in a very delicate coexistence relationship. The king has long regarded the Scarlet Church as a dislike, but he still has no way to deal with them."

Kino thought for a while: "Let me guess. Because the blood therapy of the Scarlet Church is the only way to stabilize the symptoms of those infected with the animal epidemic, but they did not hand over the secret of blood therapy to the royal family, but accumulated blood therapy among the people. A large number of people's hearts make it difficult for the royal family to take violent measures, and they can only watch their influence grow step by step. When the church's influence accumulates to a certain level, they will want to share the cake of power in some way."

Sting nodded: "You are very proficient in the doorway here."

Kino had been familiar with thousands of years of world history in his previous life, and he was tired of reading all kinds of power struggles, so he could be proficient.

Kino picked up a piece of hard fruit candy and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and asked: "You were halfway through what you said just now. When you mentioned 'Suo', you should mean Solandelle. Could it be that someone in the Scarlet Church wants to marry the princess, so why not?" This way is bound to the royal family and meddling in kingdom politics?"

"Damn, you have really good ears." Sting helplessly supported his forehead and said in a low voice, "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it, just ask you to keep it a secret. Yes, you guessed it right, the archbishop hopes Marry with the royal family, let your son marry her when Solandelle is 16 years old."

"Crack." The hard fruit candy cracked into several pieces under Kino's teeth. He looked at Sting with a blank expression, and chewed the candy again and again. The candy was quickly crushed and turned into syrup.

For some reason, Sting felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Sting took the initiative to continue the topic: "Yesterday, the king was furious because he remembered this matter, but we high-level political figures have a lot of involvement in our every move. Even if we resist in our hearts, we must make concessions for the interests of the kingdom. So it’s impossible to do anything to the Scarlet Church—at least on the surface.”

"But you are different. You are just a local administrator, and you don't have so many restrictions in terms of reputation. Although according to the "Special Asylum Law of the Church", you should be handed over to the church for trial for killing plague doctors in the street, but Denisa intervened. The church immediately suffered a dumb loss. Don’t mention how happy the king is when he finds out about this, you made him angry.”

Kino said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with my lack of anger when I kill people. It is a mistake for the common people to kneel down to the epidemic doctor and not respect the kingdom. As the administrator of the kingdom, I have the duty to reverse this mistake. It's as simple as that."

Sting said with great interest: "Honestly, what you said is very interesting. You obviously sound like a lunatic, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is a subtle and meticulous logic in it."

Kino didn't talk to him about this, but asked: "So, about the marriage, what does the king himself mean?"

Sting took a sip of his wine and said silently: "If the king had a choice, do you think he would still be angry yesterday?"

Chino: "No backup plan?"

Sting: "Listen, Twilight Reaper, I know what your crazy head is thinking. Apart from chatting with you this time, I'm here to give you a warning on behalf of the king, don't mess with the Scarlet Church again, understand?"

"Things that make the king happy don't mean it's what the king wants to see. Every member of the royal family is happy to see you killing the epidemic doctor this time, but when they spend a lot of money and energy to help you deal with the aftermath , and there is little left of their joy."

"We can't deal with the Scarlet Church with strong measures at this stage, so today is your first and last time to kill the epidemic doctor. If you do this kind of thing again in the future, no one will stand behind you."

"Okay." Kino gave a seemingly concise, but actually somewhat vague answer.

The two stopped discussing the scarlet church, but chatted about some daily life.

While talking, Kino casually picked up the apple on the table and prepared to eat it.

"Wait!" Sting looked at the apple in Chino's hand for a while, and stopped him, "You'd better not eat this, the shape and color, it looks like it was picked from the few apple trees that Solandelle planted. .”

Kino tentatively took a bite of the apple, tasted the sweetness in his mouth, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Why can't you eat it?"

Sting looked at Chino with a ghostly look. He took another same apple, took a bite and then spat it into the trash can. He grinned and said, "Damn it. Such a sour apple, how did you do it?" Eat it?"

Kino took another bite of the apple: "I don't understand what you're talking about, it's very sweet."

Sting was stunned: "Is your sense of taste bad, or my sense of taste is bad."

Chino has congenital analgesia and cannot feel pain, but his sense of taste is normal. He doesn't understand why Sting thinks this apple is bitter, and he doesn't think much about it.

He was sure it was sweet.

For the next 3 days, Kino rested in the palace and had nothing to do every day. Apart from his normal work and rest, he played the piano with Solandelle at other times and taught her a lot of Beethoven's piano pieces. Every piece of music made her happy.

If it weren't for the upper limit of the emotional harvest value, Kino suspected that Solandelle would have contributed thousands or even tens of thousands of respect points to him.

On the 4th of Huixue, officials from all parties who participated in the New Year's feast were ready to return, and so was Kino.

Before leaving, there is one more thing, and that is the reward for uncovering the smuggling of salt crystals.

Perseus gave Kino 50 gold moons as promised, and then took him to select the reserve imperial guards.

Perseus took Kino into the training ground, and introduced: "There are a lot of reserve imperial guards, and there are 880 people on the list now, some of them are the heirs of the Dogolande royal family, and some are outsiders who have awakened the day after tomorrow, so the level of this group of people is There are highs and lows, I suggest you choose carefully.”

At the training ground, 880 members have formed 20 rows of 44 people to accept the king's inspection. Everyone holds their heads high and their chests high, in high spirits.

Perseus looked sideways at Kino, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.

Among these people, the top 50 people in terms of comprehensive strength are all his confidantes. No matter which one Chino chooses to go, he has an eyeliner by his side.

Perseus cleared his throat, and said lightly: "These people who take the lead in each row are the elites in the reserves, at least they are all the "candle bearers" of the second sequence.There are also a few elites among the elites, such as the Lynch in front of you, he is the "Iron Blood" of the third sequence, and has been pre-selected in advance as the real imperial guard. If you like, I can give him to you. "

Kino glanced at Lynch with firm eyes, and walked slowly through the queue without stopping his gaze.

Perseus frowned at Kino, wondering what he was going to do.

Walking to the last row, Kino saw a girl with an extremely petite figure, at most 1 meters. For a strong man, she could even sit on her shoulders.

Her appearance is even more exquisite like a doll, her thin cherry-colored lips are slightly upturned, and when she purses her lips, you can see the dimples on both sides of her cheeks, and only a pair of eyes reveal a determination different from her peers.

The girl noticed that Kino was looking at her, but she didn't respond with her eyes, and kept staring straight ahead.

Kino pointed to the girl: "I want her."
