glorious fall

Early the next morning, Kailius entered the palace without even eating breakfast.

"Your Majesty, the person who came to deliver the message last night said that Lord Demon was taken away." Caelius took off his cloak, handed it to the attendant to shake off the raindrops on it, and walked inside. "Could it be the group who kidnapped Archbishop Chester and Archbishop De Moore when they returned after the Truffle Festival last year?"

Tang Glass put down the quill and shook his head: "It's definitely not the gang of desperadoes, you know? Otherwise, no one would intercept the knight who came to report."

Kailius nodded, "Actually, I just said casually, Lord Demon should be safe for the time being, but I don't know who His Majesty plans to send to rescue Lord Demon?"

Tanglas stood up and walked in front of him. Kailius looked at him with deep eyes and guessed, "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks you're sending me?"

Tanglas nodded, then shook his head again.

Kailius was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Tang Glass handed him a stack of things on the desk, "Kelius, this is a detailed introduction to the Winter District of Leman Province. At first I wanted to send someone who is good at inquiring about information, but it is definitely not as good as your decision-making. The accuracy and speed of the time, so I have no choice but to send you there, and then give you the contact information of the intelligence personnel in Leman Province, hoping to help you."

Caelius took the documents, skimmed them roughly, and was about to leave after accepting them. Tangglass stopped him, "The guards prepared for you are waiting on the west side of St. Vier Square, go and take people away. "

Caelius replied yes, Tanglas thought for a while, and added a few more words, "By the way, pay attention to safety, and also, pay attention to the possibility that Sandra may send some messages, for example, something strange has become a local rumors."

Kailius smiled and said, "You really understand him." After speaking, he went straight out regardless of Tanglas's reaction.

Lemans, Winter District, Kellers.

The more desolate the place, the more enthusiastic the spring is.Not only the boundless Kochia scoparia protruding from the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, but also the cosmos swaying in the courtyard and the cherry blossoms beside the avenue are full of greenery.

Sandra's injury was not serious, the cut was deep, but no bones were injured. Fortunately, her left hand is not used for eating, and she does not need to carry heavy objects at ordinary times, so the injury recovered quickly. When Shaku When she came to inform him that the so-called "master" had arrived in Keller City and hoped to see him, Sandra only left a scar on her hand.

"Is your master finally finished with your work?" Sandra heard the words only indifferently, expressing no interest.

Shaku laughed loudly, with a simple and honest attitude, just like what Sandra saw in the carriage that day.

Sandra just smiled, and seemed to react after a while, and said in fear: "No, I, I think I need to be prepared, after all, after all, such a thing happened, I think I have to promise myself safety."

Shaku smiled, but felt contemptuous in his heart.

Tsk, what a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what relationship did he rely on to be able to rank among the archbishops?

However, the "Master" Shaku said seemed to be impatient. In the afternoon, Shaku came to Sandra's place again, with two tall men and two young and pretty maids behind him.

One of the two maids was holding a golden robe, and the other was holding an equally luxurious wooden box wrapped in gold.

"Please allow us to change your clothes and hair." The two maids said.

Sandra glanced at the two stone-like men standing outside, sighed, changed her pilgrimage robe under the service of the maid, put on the golden robe with intricate patterns, and tied the knot , he was pushed onto the stool again, the maid combed his hair, the other opened the small box, and took out a...forehead ornament?

Sandra frowned. The maid who combed his hair had quickly rolled up the hair on his cheeks and ears and pulled it back. Another maid carefully put the forehead ornament on his forehead. Sandra Before he could react, he felt the back of his head tense, and the two maids finished their sentence.

Facing the blinds, he looked at his own appearance. The crystal ruby ​​on his forehead, paired with pure silver hair, and a dazzling golden robe, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal person's attire, but it has a bit of charm.Sandra was really about to be laughed at by this old man, and asked the maid coldly: "If I remember correctly, this is more like a castrati's outfit, isn't it?"

The two maids were submissive and hurriedly found an excuse to slip out, so Sandra had to follow Shaku to the main hall to meet the master.

This house is not spacious, and Sandra followed her all the way, but the distance was only a few dozen steps, so after entering the main hall, it is not unusual to bump into other people chatting happily.

A man with curly gray hair was talking to a woman covered in a golden veil, judging from the occasional laughter of the woman, the conversation between the two was very pleasant.

However, this cannot be the reason for Sandra to let down her guard.

He walked in, and the two found him, stopped talking, and looked at him together.

After a while, the man spoke first, but did not salute, "I pay my respects to the Archbishop of Leman Province, Monsieur Demon."

The woman at the side snorted, pretending to be casual and said, "This...beautiful little girl is our Lord Demon? She is as pretty as a crimson rose. How can those eunuchs live?" said Well, I couldn't help but laugh again.

"..."

Seeing that Sandra looked unhappy, the man laughed a few times, and quickly eased the tense atmosphere, "Master Demon, please don't take offense, my Alisa is always so straightforward, she is just amazed by your appearance, after all, Among the current archbishops, you are the only one with a youthful demeanor!"

Sandra still didn't answer, she sat down in an armchair beside her, and looked at the two of them coldly.

The woman snorted, unhappy because she felt slighted by the other party, but was held back by the man.The man pulled her to sit down, and then looked at Sandra with a smile, "Lord Demon, I invited you here because I was busy with business, but kept you in the room and let you be stabbed and injured. I am really terrified Oh, my lord, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Kerry Kidd, I am the second-class Earl of the Province of Florida from my ancestors, and now, heh, I am a businessman in the Province of Florida."

Sandra nodded, and asked: "There is no need to talk so much nonsense, I just want to ask you, Earl Kidd, what is your intention in trying so hard to be abducted here?"

Kidd waved his hand and laughed again and again: "Master Demon, please don't say that. I invited you here this time just to ask you for a favor."

Sandra met his shy eyes, her thoughts changed, and she spoke casually: "How about Earl Kidd, let the person behind you who ordered you come to discuss with me in person?"

Kidd's smile froze, "Master Demon, are you joking?"

Sandra glanced at him contemptuously, "Your acting skills are too bad, why don't you ask local opera actors for advice, besides, since you know that I am the Archbishop, you will be more polite to me afterwards, but when I entered the door, there is You can't even do basic salutes, which is enough for people to judge that you have not been taught by orthodox etiquette, and you don't know when to show enough sincerity. This is reflected in etiquette. You thought that your initial attitude would deter me, It’s just naive and scary—you are a scapegoat who was raised and abandoned, right? And in a big family, although I have never heard of an earl family named Kidd that is famous for its business, it does not prevent me from knowing , you are not an orthodox heir, if it is not a child born to a mistress, then," he continued as Carey's paler face became more and more serious, "it is an illegitimate child."

Kidd's face turned pale, and the woman beside him suddenly screamed, "Master, you hurt me!"

Kidd ignored her and let go of Alisa's pinched wrist. He didn't coax her gently and carefully as usual, but stared straight at Sandra, his eyes began to turn red.

Sandra smiled noncommittally, got up, walked outside, and left a sentence: "When the person behind you has figured it out, come to me again, so that I don't have to walk so hard, but I have a little sincerity." None, send a trash over here to put on a show."

……

After a long time, a series of crackling sounds mixed with heavy objects falling to the ground, as well as the almost hoarse fear of a woman screaming, made people shudder inexplicably.

Sandra didn't pay attention to whether Shaku or others followed her, and walked back to her residence, only to find a gorgeously dressed man.

"Master Demon, long time no see." The other party saluted and smiled.

Sandra was startled, stared at the other party carefully for a while, felt familiar, and asked, "Are you?"

The other party's expression changed in an instant, with a look of grievance: "I don't know, does Master De Meng remember that a child who wandered from Florida Province to Monta Province happened to have a fight with you, and by the way Was it taken back to the monastery by you?"

Sandra suddenly realized that she vaguely remembered that there was such a person when she was six or seven years old. However, the memory of that child was probably not very pleasant, because when the two met, they would always fight, and their foster mother Sister Wei An has a headache.

"I think you have such a poor memory, and you were so slow back then, and I don't expect you to remember my name. I am Karen Kidd, the heir of a declining noble family, but I was secretly kicked out by my stepmother when I was eight years old. I became a monk, wandered to Monta Province, and then met you..." The man's eyes were full of reminiscence, but he suddenly retracted, "The one you just saw is the child of my father and his mistress—now it seems that you I'm finally smart, since this is the case, I don't plan to use any old relationship with you as a bargaining chip, let's have a good talk and see if we can become mutually beneficial, partners."
