glorious fall

Since Winfrey was an ordinary child, until he was taken home by the old Marquis Winfrey, and then he embarked on a political career, until he became the consul of a province today, he has never had time to socialize, To be more precise, he didn't have time to get to know any ladies at social balls. When other noble children were busy trying to please the beauties, he followed his father, enduring the gossip brought about by the illegitimate son's name, And deal with those famous elders.

And when Andrew came over today, he thought that this young man who was still a child in his eyes would leave immediately after discussing business matters, because what he said not long ago was so obvious that Andrew hurried to the consul's mansion that day On the way, when she saw him, she said her admiration without any hesitation, completely ignoring Winfrey's shock.

"I have admired you for a long time, can you understand? It's like Apollo chasing Daphne, but I don't want you to run away blindly, I hope you can seriously consider before replying to me, okay?"

At that time, Winfrey nodded unconsciously and agreed!

Thinking about it now, I really feel that I was too hasty, and now facing this child, he was actually speechless.

"Now? Can you tell me your reply, sir?" The young deputy consul stepped forward and asked persistently.

"Well, this...Andrew, maybe, we," the consul said with difficulty, "maybe, we can, a little, try, but I think you will be disappointed..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was embraced by the excited young man, "Winfrey—"

"Wait—" Winfrey said helplessly in his arms, "wait a minute, Andrew, I agree does not mean everything."

Andrew came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Winfrey, what do you mean? Rejection in disguise?"

"No, I think, you should go back and calm down, think about it, except I promised you, do we get along like this every day? Besides, this is a matter that will take a long time. For example, we have to get a family Of course, we don’t have to pay attention to it.”

Andrew thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really excited, just thinking about how to get you to agree, I don't think too much."

Winfrey smiled and patted his arm, "I will be patient enough to wait for you to make up your mind."

Andrew hugged him again, "Thank you, Winfrey, I know that I am younger than you, so sometimes I may cause you a lot of trouble, so I hope you can witness me grow into a good enough person until that day , you will promise me without hesitation that your family will not have the power to interfere with us!"

Winfrey looked at him with a determined face and smiled, "Of course."

Unlike the harmonious coexistence of the two governors of one province in Leman, the entire Monta province has now become a concentration of riots.

The prolonged stalemate of the war made the unbearable civilian believers unable to gather together. Some became robbers, some became thieves, some searched for the food left by the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled on the road, and some chased away. With his wife, daughter, and even other young women, he went to those brothels that had begun to open blatantly [Note 10]. Fortunately, the weather turned cold, so there was no need to worry about the spread of the disease. Tangglass looked at the documents in his hand and listened to those people. Whispering in the ears, the eyebrows could not help but tightened fiercely, and when Paro, who was rarely quiet on one side, realized something was wrong, His Majesty's face could already be described as gloomy.

"Give me your bit! I don't want to hear the nonsense of you grass chewers!"

His voice was so majestic that he yelled at these people completely, but he didn't stop, but continued: "You guys have been analyzing and discussing for so long, but you have been clinging to your own opinions, have you listened carefully? Listen to other people's solutions? Also, you haven't come up with a complete solution to show me. As for where the troops in Piedrius Province have moved, do you know? They came here, not only We are attacked on both sides, there is danger, those civilians pass away faster, have you thought about it? I don't want you to stay in Monta province for too long, mentally fatigued, so you have an indifferent attitude towards everything, that would be Just give yourself the death penalty, there is no shortage of gallows in the barracks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone didn't dare to speak anymore. For a long time, all they could hear was Paro's lazy voice, "Your Majesty seems to think these idiots are too smart. They need time. Today At night, everyone thinks about how to prevent civilian believers from fleeing in panic, this is even more dangerous, isn't it?"

The tail of his voice rose, inexplicably giving people a sense of joy and relaxation, but in fact, what he said shocked the hearts of the group of people, not only sounding the alarm for them, but also giving them a reminder.

Those people paused for a long time before one of them spoke cautiously: "Then, Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, I think that if some battlefield shelters can be set up, it is also possible."

Tang Glass didn't express his position yet, but only encouraged him symbolically: "Go on, do you have any other ideas?"

The other people finally grew courageous, and one of them also said, "...Your Majesty, why don't we consider recruiting some more soldiers? Maybe those women and children are not suitable to stay in the barracks, but they can prepare supplies for us , mending clothes, and even cooking, so that we don’t need so many soldiers to cook, and we can make the soldiers eat better—”

Before he finished speaking, another person got up and refuted him loudly, "What a joke, how can women stay in the barracks? This is an act that the Heavenly Father will never allow, and it is a crime of blasphemy!"

At the beginning, the man's face was flushed, and he stammered: "Of course you are right, but this is a special period, because it is really difficult for our troops to deal with two standing armies now! You know, what your majesty said is Demur's army, an army that has not suffered any damage, their morale has not been hit, and we are not absolutely sure that they will be defeated!"

The person who raised the question closed his mouth resentfully, then turned his head to look outside.

But Tang Glass shook his head, "No, this method won't work."

So everyone had to think hard about other ways.

At this time, Tanglas called Pa Luo, "Now we don't know how close Kuroti and Demul have been, so we need to send someone to investigate.

Paro was stunned for a moment, and then Su Rong replied: "Yes, according to your instructions, I will send people to go immediately, and I will never let them completely collude."

Only then did Tang Glass show a smile and nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."

[Note 10] Prostitutes and brothels were supposed to be forbidden during the period of church rule that advocated abstinence and sexual desire. Because it is a profitable industry (Khan), and here, the brothel refers to the place where the women are sold to provide that service after the disaster brought by the war. As for the name, I remember it in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" A name was mentioned in ", but the history I read before the college entrance examination is too long, forgive me for my bad memory...

The author has something to say: The truth is coming soon, Bishop Kuloti of Monta Province, are you ready?

In addition, half of the coding today, my friend asked me to go on duty for him, so when I came back at night, I found myself. . . . . .Stuck, oh leak, cry~
