glorious fall

Breeze, warm sun, flowers, small courtyard.

Tomorrow is the deadline set by Karen. Sandra saw the merchant Earl lingering at the door many times, and did not interrupt him. She let his compelling eyes sweep over her face. Still expressionless.

This situation lasted until the evening. Shaku obeyed Karen’s instructions and came to the small courtyard to invite Sandra to the main hall for dinner. The bearded man remained silent all the way. When he was about to reach the destination, he finally couldn’t help Stopped, "Demon, Lord Demon, the murder that happened that day, is it true, is it really you, and you forged it?"

Sandra looked up at him, with a half-smile, "What do you think, Lord Shaku?"

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then choked up with difficulty and said, "When...Of course, I think what the master told me is not wrong."

Sandra chuckled softly, "I don't know, Mr. Shaku has won against the faction of the person you knocked out that night in the past few days." He took a step towards Shaku, staring at him without turning his eyes. , said in the mouth, "Is it still defeated?"

Shaku subconsciously took a big step back, until the pain of hitting the wall made him wake up and react.

"Oh my God, this man is such a devil, a devil from hell, what a terrible mind he has!" He thought in shock, but said in his mouth: "My lord, my lord, please go to the main hall for dinner, if, or else There is not enough time."

Sandra didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she shook her head and laughed, then turned and walked towards the main hall.

Shaku heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

It was still the scene I saw that day, even the bouquet of lilies on the table hadn't changed, but maybe it was a new one, and Sandra didn't mind that Karen arranged for her to be Kerry Kidd's subordinate. , sat down on his own, and looked up, and found a middle-aged man in linen sitting opposite him.Sandra's eyes sank. Karen's rudeness didn't bother him at first, but if he was allowed to be humbled by chaos and belittled at will, it was not just rude, it was a provocation to the Holy See, and it was also Contempt for the majesty and power of his archbishop!

However, before he got angry, he heard Kerry next to him say: "Hey, my lord bishop, the clothes my brother chose for you today are very good, and they make you more beautiful." He whistled.

When he said this, Alisa, who was leaning on him, immediately acted coquettishly: "Dear Kerry, why do you always look at other people? No matter how beautiful they are, they are still men. You want to look at me, I'm the real woman."

"..." Sandra felt something jumping happily on her forehead, and made another note to Karen in her heart.

Let you have a brother as stupid as a mountain boar in Montague!Let your stupid brother find a woman who has everything but no brains!

Shaku, his lower head, sat upright, with an expression... just no expression.

Sandra was clutching her forehead and thinking about whether to leave, when she heard the man on the opposite side laugh lightly: "Lord Demon, please don't be irritable, Earl Kidd will be here soon, he just went to check the arrangement of the guards, In order to protect the safety of adults, Earl Kidd is very concerned."

"..." To check if anyone came to rescue him, right?

The man was not intimidated by his indifference, and said again: "My lord, didn't I arouse your curiosity even a little while I was sitting here?"

"..." Sandra frowned gradually, this person is so... not knowing how restrained?

To avoid the embarrassment of the other party, he still asked politely: "May I ask who you are?"

Although the man was dressed in linen, he behaved very elegantly. He got up and walked forward to salute Sandra, "My lord, my name is Wood."

Sandra also stood up and stretched out her hand, "Mr. Wood, hello—"

The man held his hand lightly, bent down and kissed the back of his hand lightly, then raised his head, met Sandra's eyes, and said slowly: "My lord, I haven't finished talking, my name is Wood, and my surname is Monterey— —”

Sandra suddenly changed color and withdrew her hand abruptly!

"Wood Monterey—you executioner!"

……

The gathering of the rebels was extremely fast. Before Tanglas and Jedana discussed how to let the suddenly timid Demul open the northern pass of Piedrius Province, they heard the news that there were also rebels in Monta Province. .

"Now it seems that the speed of news transmission has accelerated." Tang Glass said, but the wooden sword in his hand poked at the other party mercilessly.

Yedanag opened Tangglass's wooden sword and stabbed it back, "Your Majesty, what you should worry about now is not how many rebels there are, but how to guide these rebels to transfer their anger to the person you want to transfer Go up so that you can relax a lot when you do it yourself."

Tangglass sideways avoided the wooden sword, raised the wooden sword with both hands and slashed down, "It's easy to say, but the common people don't care about it, as long as they solve their stomach problems, they won't ask for anything, so, You have to seize the opportunity, if you don’t seize the opportunity, then everything you have paid before will become history, but the rye in the north has suffered disasters, and no rebels have come forward—is it Chester himself who suppressed it?”

Yedana raised Tanglas' wooden sword on the sword bar, tilted his body outwards, and smoothly stepped out of Tanglas's attack range. The wooden sword in his hand was stuck to the opponent's sword and turned around, and then stabbed at the opponent's shoulder .

"Your Majesty, your idea is certainly very good, but when there is no opportunity, I feel that we must create an opportunity, we can never sit and wait!"

Tangglass wanted to answer, but the wooden sword in Yedana's hand did not stop after he dodged, and directly attacked, slashing at his shoulder with a speed so fast that he had no time to resist, although Yedana It has already received a little bit of force, but the shoulders are still slightly painful from the shock.

Yedana took the sword away and saluted, "Sorry, I offended you."

Tang Glass handed the sword to Chead, and said with a hearty smile: "I should be happy that you are so powerful. As the head of my knight order, of course you must have strong abilities. Yedana, I have lost to you so many times." , not bad this time, you are right, we should create a suitable time."

Hearing this, Yedana stopped his hand to take off the armor, looked at His Majesty, and asked, "Your Majesty, during the competition just now, I thought of a question and wanted to ask you."

Tang Glass motioned for him to continue.

Jedana asked: "When you were the bishop of the Vanto district in Monta province, or when you were a member of the College of Cardinals, or even His Majesty Beniz mentioned it to you, these few Archbishops who were born in the College of Cardinals, that is, bishops who are eligible to compete for the Pope, Chester, Demur, Fayol, Baiting, their relationship is as it is now, as we have seen, Bishop Chester and Bishop De Moore are not at odds. Bishop Fayol looks like a good old man. He is gentle with everyone and is not close to anyone. Bishop Biting has always dedicated his life to the Father. Don't ask about politics?"

"..." Tanglas was stunned.

Yedana didn't say much anymore. The two of them took off their soft armor in silence, and then went to take a bath and changed their clothes. When they met again in the living room, Tangglass drank a whole glass of beer before speaking: "Yedana Na, I sometimes have to admit that you are an extremely perceptive person, and it may be that your position has nurtured such qualities in you-your discovery made me have a terrible guess, and made me feel that I really did not I don’t have everything in my hands like I imagined myself. I will be defeated by Chester like this, and I will even be as embarrassed as a pheasant in the rain. I am still a little shocked. If that is really true, then , what I have to deal with is no longer a single Chester or anyone else, what I have to deal with is two or more archbishops, not to mention the army that accounts for at least one-fifth of the country, not to mention, the bishops And Chester's cronies, or successors..."

Yedana didn't say words of comfort, because Tanglas didn't need it, and she didn't say anything depressing, because Tanglas knew how to reflect.He just needs to let Tang Glass understand what he means and strengthen his vigilance so that he will not encounter such a predicament in the future.

Tangglass was silent for a long time, and poured several glasses of ale and wine in a row, and when Yedana couldn't help trying to persuade him, Tanglas said: "Some things may need to be advanced, Yedana, After you leave the palace, send someone to send a letter to Caelius, telling him to bring Sandra to the main city after he rescues Sandra, as soon as possible! I need a guarantee for that matter!"

Afterwards, the two chatted some gossip again, and Yedana declined Tanglas' invitation to dinner and left the palace.

Tangglass was not in a hurry to have dinner, but asked Childe to bring the attendant from last time.

The attendant named Ryan came quickly from the intelligence office. These days he was studying with the intelligence agents, who would have thought that Tanglas would think of him again.

"Your Majesty." Ryan saluted.

Seeing him bowing his head, Tang Glass couldn't help but said, "You learned to bow your head to others in the intelligence department?"

Ryan froze for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Tang Glass stopped staring at him, but looked at the sycamore tree on the avenue outside the window, the lush green leaves covering all the branches.

After a long time, he said leisurely: "In a few days, I will invite all the bishops of the Cardinals to come to the palace and have a dinner with me. I hope you can seize the opportunity and perform well."

Ryan was startled again, then nodded, with a firm expression, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy Bishop Jupiter."

Tang Glass took a sip of his wine, "You don't have to be so nervous, I will ask Chead to transfer Beran to Fontaine Palace. At that time, the chances of him appearing in front of Jupiter will be greatly increased. After the banquet is over, it's time for you to perform."

Ryan replied, "Yes."

Tang Glass waved him back, and he drank it in one gulp facing the setting sun hidden behind the sycamore tree.
