Chapter 61 The Fall of the Countess
On the butterfly-patterned leopard-skin sofa, Countess Aurora Behemia was lying on her side, without changing her position for half an hour.

The door of the silk pajamas is wide open, generously swaying the spring.

This is not the style of the countess. Although she looks trendy and fashionable outside, she is very dignified and conservative at home.

This is not the only thing that is abnormal, her hair is messy, the makeup on her face has not been removed, and even the colorful paint on her fingernails has not been cleaned.

The maids stood in a row in the corner, and no one dared to make a sound.Based on their perception, the countess must have lost her love, which is why she is so... scary.

Yes, scary.According to their predecessors, the Countess only appeared in this state once five years ago.The consequence of that time was that the entire castle was shrouded in a thick atmosphere. No matter who entered the castle, they would feel lifeless and lose confidence in the future. It is said that two maids committed suicide.

The Countess is the saint of the Elegant Church, and this title is not empty.

Thinking that the countess might have an attack at any time, they all turned pale, as if they were suffocated.

They didn't know that the countess was similar to them at this time, fear was filling her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

In the Cam Church, two angels issued contradictory oracles. Bishop Ruen confronted Theresia, and the upper echelons of Joy Church were wiped out. Solidarity with the slain Priest of Joy.

When Theresia was promoted to legend, Sylvie led the team to come, she was full of joy.

Finally, he drove away those fragrant old men and playboys who had their eyes glued to him all day long and exuded a rancid smell!
Then, she discovered that the thrilling scene in Keim Church was not the end of the incident, but the beginning of a bigger storm.

You Xiang's headquarters actually said that Bishop Luen and all the priests sent by the headquarters were killed by the Kingdom's Divine Court, and declared that the Kingdom's Divine Court was rebellious and wanted to launch a crusade.

Teresia confronted each other, and under the banner of "clean God, righteous faith", she began to contact other kingdoms, preparing to declare war on Youxiang's imperial headquarters!

War, war kills people!Don't you know?

When she raised doubts with Theresia, the other party replied very unhappy: "Aurora, the star of dawn has risen, which means that the era will change. Besides, isn't faith worth defending with life? "

What is my belief... oh, elegance.

Indeed, elegance is worth defending with my life, but there is no such thing as I have to choose between elegance and life.

She remonstrated with the princess with the greatest sincerity and courage in her life: "It's still too early from the rising of the Dawn Star to the change of the era. There is no need to rush to fight now. Everyone is a good person, why fight and kill?" What? Is there anything we can't sit down and drink black tea to talk about?"

Sylvie said next to her, "Should we send Aurora to Youxiang, clarify the truth to them, and talk about the peaceful breakup between Youxiang and the Kingdom?"

At that time, her face turned pale instantly, Qu Youxiang! ?What was she, a countess from a remote kingdom, a saint of a small church?Those red-robed and white-robed bishops in Youxiang headquarters, what kind of disgusting fellows are they, don't you all know?When I went there, I didn't even have a single hair left! ?

Sylvie kept saying that it was just a joke, and it took her a while to catch her breath.

Afterwards, Teresia handed over the logistics tasks to her, and said very seriously: "Aurora, you are the backbone of the Kingdom's court. Now it's time to fight to the death. You must firmly believe in it and work hard for victory without reservation." .If you...you know what kind of character I am."

Of course she knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess did not recognize her relatives. Back then, the prince colluded with the wizard and killed hundreds of untouchable children to prolong their lives. She chopped off their heads with a sword...

This is the source of her fear, but in comparison, what her future life will look like makes her even more desperate.

It's not that she is intoxicated with the life of singing and dancing, and some of the actions of Joy Church are indeed too much in her opinion, but she just wants to live in peace. man crush?

What should I do……

She groaned in her heart, wishing she could not sleep.

A maid came over and said timidly, "Count, Viscount Pryor's book has been delivered."

The Countess blinked her eyelids and let out a long breath.

"Bring it here!"

A while ago, the Kingdom faction and the Headquarters faction had been having minor conflicts, and she went around to mediate and appease them without touching the ground. She had only read the fourth part of the novel and had to put it down.

Now, finally, there is something that can comfort the soul.

"Sixteen copies!? Are they all delivered?"

Seeing a thick stack of books, the frozen ground in the countess's heart melted immediately.

That little Li Qi didn't know that he was extremely upset, so he did it on purpose, right?

You're clearly a little boy, but you still want to pursue me, so you don't have any sense of accomplishment...

The Countess recovered a little anger, and just as she reached for the book, she stopped again.

Her complexion was very ugly, because she just remembered the task that Teresia had assigned: fundraising!

Wars cost money, and the military expenditure of 2000 million gold bushels was apportioned to each noble family, which was not a painful amount.But the problem is that most of the nobles think that their family has already produced people, and they still need to pay, which is neither reasonable nor fair.

His Majesty the King seemed to acquiesce in the princess' actions. After all, the princess presided over the matter as a god, and the king was just an outsider.But in terms of funds and war materials, the king looked on coldly, which also caused problems in fundraising, and many nobles had the confidence to shirk.

After all, the princess is not a king, and even if she is a king, there is no reason to ask her subjects to go bankrupt and follow her to fight for their faith.

Therefore, in Theresia's eyes, the number one courtesan in her kingdom became the only one who could solve this problem.

She has no time to indulge in books at all!
Aurora sighed helplessly and withdrew her hand.

Then she saw that there was a letter on the top book.

"I know everything about the capital, and you must be feeling very heavy, Earl. I copied the book "The Pain of Mortals Like a Rolling River Flowing into the Sea" in a hurry. Considering that you should still be responsible for the princess Your Highness's important task, I may not have time to read such a long book now, I have transcribed some shorter stories and put them together, hoping to help you relieve the pressure on your mind."

It was Li Qi's handwriting, and the Countess felt a little warmth in her heart. Although she was only a little boy, she was very comfortable in her style.

"His lady has so many stories."

The countess muttered, reaching out again, and picked up the book on her face.

The title of the book this time is very concise, "Ten Days Talk".

Turn to the table of contents, hey, one hundred short stories.

It's so funny...

The countess waved her hand to signal the maid to step back, retreated to the sofa like a cat, and opened the book.

Today I am scheduled to visit a few nobles and talk to them about military expenses, but it shouldn't take much time to read a short story.

"Haha, that priest is really stupid! As long as you make a beautiful confession before you die, you can get the title of saint after death, and your soul can ascend to the kingdom of God! It's so similar to those old bastards in the court!"

After reading a story quickly, the Countess couldn't finish it.

"The Marchioness of Montferrat is so smart! The ugly, old and stupid king is definitely not a good match, so he should be sent like this!"

There is still time, go on...

One story after another, gradually, more and more stories related to women made the Countess unable to stop.

"Princess Tanglei is so pitiful, no, she is too steadfast! Her father must have been eaten by an illithid and did such a crazy and disgusting thing. Why did he do that? Well, King Tanglei Must want to occupy her daughter, yes, that's it! The princess should pay back to her father with the same thing! Kill him, dig out his heart, and put it in a golden cup!"

When she raised her head, she was surprised to find that night had fallen.

"Oh! No—! Didn't do anything today!"

She pounded the sofa angrily, then picked up the book again.

Let's do it together tomorrow, isn't there still tomorrow...

………………

Three days later, when she saw a disheveled woman in the living room, Xiao Longnu was shocked: "Sister Aurora, why are you like this!?"

"Timmy...help me..."

The countess, who was always elegant and calm, actually hugged the little dragon girl and wept.

For three days, she hadn't been out of the house, hadn't taken a bath, hadn't done nursing care, and hadn't even trimmed her nails, so she just hugged her book and read.

Seeing that the task assigned by Her Highness the Princess has not made any progress, and she will have to report to the Princess in a few days, the countess is so anxious that her faith is almost shaken.

It happened that Xiao Longnv came to visit, thinking that Xiao Longnv was a businessman, maybe she could find a way with her, the Countess also ignored her status and reserve.

"Sure enough... Uh, I mean, Sister Aurora, you really are under so much pressure."

Xiao Longnu rolled her eyes and said with a complicated expression.

"Is it about military expenses? This is really difficult. I have tried my best to help Her Royal Highness, and even my private money has been put on it. I really don't know how to help you."

Xiao Longnu's words had obviously been rehearsed, but the countess, who had already reached the master level in observing words and expressions, didn't pay attention. At this time, she couldn't be in the mood to observe others.

"That's right, you were also pressed very tightly by the princess," the countess said dejectedly, "Then I'll be ready to be whipped by Her Royal Highness, and I hope she won't strip off my clothes in public before whipping me." .”

"Why would Her Royal Highness do that? But the issue of military expenditure is indeed a headache, and the situation is even more serious now."

The little dragon girl explained the latest changes: "Youxiang is gathering troops. Her Royal Highness wants to preemptively capture the Valentine's Cathedral in the north and prepare to gather tens of thousands of professionals."

The countess covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Black tea is here, tens of thousands of professionals!? Each person drinks a bottle of holy water of life and costs thousands of gold bushes!"

"Yes", Xiao Longnu nodded seriously: "I am facing the same situation as Sister Aurora, but someone gave me a suggestion, I think there is still some prospects, because there is still a very important person missing, So come to discuss with you."

"Oh? Tell me?"

The extremely decadent countess raised her head, with hope shining in her eyes.

After listening, she frowned with three points of doubt and seven points of hatred: "Illusion? Let me be the protagonist in a drama?"

Illusions are something that Fein had very early on. Early magicians and even magic apprentices used illusions to project various scenes, defrauding children of candy money.The clergy also had similar divine spells, which were widely used for various purposes such as communication, decoration, and entertainment.

In the previous era, some people have used illusions to make dramas. Until now, in the areas controlled by the Masters Union, magical illusions are still an entertainment for civilians.

Poor low-level mages or apprentices, relying on making illusions of various themes of scenery, people, and people, to collect some silver pennies from ordinary people with meager income.There are also shameless guys who put all kinds of lively illusions on the civilians who can't find a place to vent their desires, including the banquet of Ms. Joy.

Although Hadron Kingdom is conservative, illusions are nothing new. The countess has several illusion circles, and she changes the bedroom and garden environment on a whim.

Xiaolongnv said that she wanted to create a special dramatic illusion.Not to mention whether it can be sold for money, it is undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy for her, the countess, the saint of the elegant church, to be photographed as a phantom for everyone to watch.

"I also think it's a bit of a thing, but after reading the... script he gave, I think it's quite interesting. It's not such a wretched thing, so I'm here to ask you to see if you'd like to cooperate."

Xiao Longnu showed a flattering smile: "After all, in the entire kingdom, only sister Aurora is worthy of such a role."

This remark made the countess feel less disgusted. Of course, to put it bluntly, she is the absolute number one among men's fantasy objects in the entire Kingdom of Hadron, and Her Royal Highness is a few blocks away from her. Woolen cloth.

At this time, her mind finally started to turn: "Him? Who came up with the idea?"

"Li Qi Pryor", the little dragon girl said the name in a strange tone that the countess couldn't understand, and then emphasized: "My personal consultant."

"Li Qi..."

The disgust in the Countess's heart was reduced by one more point. If it was Li Qi, it seemed that it would not be as bad as those illusions.

"His script is here. It's different from the novel. It looks quite laborious, but it's interesting."

Xiao Longnu took out a book, and the words on the cover caught the countess' gaze.

"Gone with the Wind"...
