The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The people from the court came to ask Monica about Anthony's fornication with blood.

The timing of Anthony's disappearance looks more like absconding in fear of crime after the incident was exposed, so the court has issued an arrest warrant for him, but no clues have been found until now.

Monica asked Jonas to bring her here, Tang Qiu consciously got up and left, planning to go back and think about Monica's proposal.

She left the conference room and wanted to go back to her own room, but just as she walked to the corridor, she looked up and saw Jennifer who was waiting for her in front of her room. She paused, turned around calmly, and temporarily changed idea.

Perhaps it would be nice to spend a night at Lucille's manor.

Passing through the auditorium, Tang Qiu was planning to leave through the back door of the Holy See, but she did not expect to meet Archbishop Cambecas head-on. Although she had never seen Cambecas before, she could easily recognize him from the archbishop's robes he was wearing. After revealing his identity, Tang Qiu stopped and bowed slightly to salute, her long golden hair swaying gracefully in front of her with her movements.

There was a gentle and appropriate smile on her face, "Archbishop of Cambecas, good day."

Cambecas stopped, nodded slightly to her, and stared at the blond priest with brown eyes, looked a few times, his eyes flickered slightly, "Good day."

Tang Qiu and Cambecas exchanged a few polite greetings and left directly, while Cambecas looked at her back thoughtfully and did not look away for a long time.

The priest following him saw what he meant, and turned his head to ask Linda who had been with them, "Which priest is this?"

The smile on the corner of Linda's mouth was a bit forced, "Grace Barton, she has been following Priest Monica to escort the believers of light before, so she is not in the Holy See."

Cambecas looked back, nodded and said: "He is a very talented child."

Linda lowered her head and said nothing.

As soon as Tang Qiu went outside, she put on a large cloak to cover the priestly clothes on her body, avoiding the crowded crowd all the way, and she came to the gate of Lucille's manor.

The maid who has always been hardworking did not trim the branches and leaves in the garden today. Tang Qiu opened the door and went in. Instead of going to see the owner of the manor immediately, she went to the garden. She took off the hood on her head, and then took the Scissors, carelessly pruning some messy flower branches.

The long golden hair hangs behind her, looking bright and eye-catching under the sunlight.

She was in a good mood, and occasionally hummed a few tunes when she was pruning the flower branches.

In the bedroom on the second floor facing the garden, a corner of the heavy curtain was lifted. Lucille stared down at the "uninvited guest" in the garden. The golden sunlight shrouded her, as if adding a halo to her. The distance between them is like the dividing line between darkness and light.

Lucille raised her hand slightly, and her palm was pressed against the cold window. The room behind her was dark. Because of the backlight, her dark red eyes were slightly dull, and there was a gloomy atmosphere around her.

A ball of light bounced up and landed on the window. The white light illuminated the room behind Lucille through the gap in the curtain. Tang Qiu, who had already noticed Lucille's gaze, looked up at the two Looking in the direction of the upstairs bedroom, he slightly raised his voice and asked with a smile, "Do you want some tea?"

……want.

Lucille opened the window and jumped out.

There were two cups of fragrant and steaming rosehip tea on the table. Sitting across from Lucille, Tang Qiu took a cup and lowered her head to sniff. "I thought you were hungry." She raised her eyes and glanced at the tea. He glanced at Lucille, smiled and said, "But it seems to be okay now?"

There was no haze in Lucille's eyes, and the aura around her was cold and alienated. At first glance, she was not in a state of hunger for blood.

Lucille picked up the cup and took a sip, then said lightly: "You can still persist."

Tang Qiu nodded, stroking the warm cup wall with his fingers, and was about to reveal to Lucille that he was considering going to the Central Holy See, when he heard the person on the opposite side whisper: "I want to go back to Eddri. "

She paused with her hand rubbing the cup, a little surprised, "Did something happen?"

"Charles II is dead."

That fatuous and arrogant king?Tang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Have you been assassinated?"

Lucille shook her head, "Normal death." Of course, except for Charles II who wanted to know what kind of normal law it was, the rest probably didn't have much interest.

Charles II is dead, Eddie needs to support a new king, and Lucille really needs to go back to consolidate her power. As for the time... I guess it won't be too short, Tang Qiu nodded slowly, and said softly: "My hand There are fruits given by Gemma, don't worry about me."

Lucille could tell what Tang Qiu was thinking at a glance, she drank the tea in the cup, looked up at the blond priest, and explained: "The new king is too young, I went back to help He selects reliable ministers to assist him."

"It's not about consolidating your position."

Seeing that Tang Qiu was a little surprised, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want to control Eddie, it's just that I haven't met a king who is suitable to entrust it to him."

Tang Qiu was completely surprised this time, she could see that Lucille attached great importance to Edrie, and she thought she valued her status as a marshal, but now it doesn't look like this... She asked curiously: "You Did you belong to Edri before you became a blood race?"

Lucille looked down at the exquisite pattern on the cup, was silent for a while, and said in a flat tone: "My mother is the third generation of the imperial daughter of the Edri Royal Family."

Charles II is already the fifth generation in the royal lineage.

"...She asked me to guard Edri before she died."

This is the second time I've heard Lucille talk about her mother, and every time I can hear a bit of stiffness in her tone, Tang Qiu didn't intend to expose the scars in other people's hearts, so she took the initiative to change the subject, "If you need help where you can find me."

Tang Qiu filled the glass in front of Lucille, thought for a while and put down the matter of his possible going to the Central Holy See, but slowly rolled up his sleeves, shook at Lucille, and joked : "Aren't you going to fill your stomach first before leaving?"

The smile on the corner of her mouth was slightly seductive.

Lucille looked at her for a while, then suddenly put down the cup and stood up, Tang Qiu watched her walk towards him, a smile flashed in his eyes.

The wrist hanging in mid-air was not held as expected, Lucille reached out to Tang Qiu's collar, and flexibly undid two buttons with her fingers, but was held down when she was about to continue. .

Tang Qiu looked at her with a half-smile, "I didn't say it was here." They were not in a special situation like last time.

The buttons were unbuttoned, and the collar was opened a little. Lucille could see the unhealed bite mark on the side of the blond priest's neck as soon as she lowered her eyes. Because her skin was too fair, even a little bit of the mark was very obvious. .

Lucille easily broke free from Tang Qiu's hand, Tang Qiu frowned, and subconsciously used the other hand to stop her, then her wrist was suddenly grabbed, Lucille took her hand, slightly Bending down, in the posture of a knight, printed a light kiss on her finger.

This is the most noble etiquette for knights, and it is generally only done for loyal kings and queens.

Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment, watching Lucille's eyes gradually soften.

"What is this?" Tang Qiu jokingly said, "Are you offering your loyalty to me?"

Lucille let go of her hand, sat back on the chair, and said flatly: "This is a knight's promise."

"I'll be back by next full moon night."

Lucille planned to come back before the next full moon night, so she had to leave as soon as possible. Tang Qiu gave up the idea of ​​staying here for the night, and when it was dark, she asked to go back to the Holy See.

Lucille nodded and got up with her, determined to send her back.

After night fell, except for drunks, few people could be seen on the streets of the main city, but even so, Tang Qiu and Lucille still avoided the wide streets and mainly stayed in the dark alleys. shuttle.

Tang Qiu stopped in an alley not far from the Holy See, turned around and looked at Lucille who was about to let her go back, when a familiar voice came from above their heads, "The touching master-slave friendship .”

The blood race with short brown hair and red eyes jumped down from the wall, the corners of her mouth were still stained with bright red blood, she looked like she had just finished eating, her slightly meaningful gaze swept over Lucille and Tang Qiu, and she lowered her head. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to still be together."

Tang Qiu turned to look at the person who came, she pushed up the hood and called out in a low voice: "Lola."

Lola licked the corner of her mouth, "Long time no see."

Tang Qiu's gaze rested on the blood on the corner of Lola's mouth, he frowned, and asked, "You were eating just now?"

There was a hint of light in the bloody smell in the air. She raised her head and swept towards the wall behind Lola. Lucille came out from behind her and jumped to the other side of the wall with a cold face. After a while, she returned to Tang Qiu's side He whispered, "The man has already run away."

Tang Qiu's face slowly turned cold.

Lola leaned against the wall beside her and said casually: "Don't worry, the prey has already run away before you come."

Tang Qiu glanced at her and smiled, but there was not much smile in his tone, but rather cold, "It's better like this." She pushed down her hood, turned and walked towards the Holy See .

Lola looked at her back and shrugged, and said casually, "It's quite a novel feeling to be threatened by the priest."

Lucille watched the figure of the blond priest disappear into the darkness before looking away, and said to Lola, "I'm going back to Edri for a while."

Lola raised her eyebrows, "Are you back? I just heard something interesting and I want to tell you about Rose Manor."

Lucille nodded indifferently, then raised her eyes to look in the direction Tang Qiu was leaving for a while, and said in a low voice, "When I'm not around, help me keep her safe."

"Ask a vampire to watch over your prey?" Lola jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will snatch him away?"

Looking at the cold eyes, Lola curled her lips, spread her hands and said boringly: "I'm just kidding." Gangluo is really a clan that can't take jokes.

At the back door of the Holy See, Jennifer was waiting here with a pile of invitation letters for the blond priest who sneaked out. Who knew that the blond priest did not wait, but another priest came.

Linda ran to the back door of the Holy See in a daze. She didn't expect to see Jennifer, and panic flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand subconsciously to cover her neck, her face was very pale.

Jennifer looked at her suspiciously, "Priest Linda, what's wrong with you?"

Linda shook her head, "It's okay." After she finished speaking, she walked past Jennifer with her head down, and then left in a hurry.

Jennifer turned her head and looked at the back of her leaving, frowning, always feeling that something was wrong with her.
