I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

at the same time.

The residence of the Count of Bulvar.

After the dinner, Xu Siling looked at the light rain outside from the window in the corridor.

Milton, the third son of the Earl of Bulvar, returned to the mansion immediately after receiving the news in the afternoon to give Faile a good welcome.

The two had met when they were children and had a good relationship as elders. Although they had not been in contact for a long time, their relationship was deeper than ordinary people.

Not to mention that Faile is already a very influential person in the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of France. Even some marquis may not be as influential as Faile.

The dinner was a joyous one, and at least everyone seemed happy.

Xu Siling sat quietly and ate her own food.

It's not that Milton didn't notice the knight Xu Siling, but he was more concerned about the two-handed sword at Xu Siling's waist than Xu Siling the person.

The original owner of this two-handed sword was John, but John's property was liquidated after his death. This two-handed sword was of high quality and good style, so Fei'er gave it to Xu Siling as a reward.

Milton had met John John, whose two-handed sword he had played with as a boy.

Now that I see these hands again, they look like a different person.

The owner of the sword died for treason, and his childhood friend also committed suicide.

This result was not difficult for Milton to accept, just a sigh of relief.

At the dinner, several people chatted.

Milton knew that Mayfair came to Paris to meet with the king.

As for what the two talked about after the meeting, Milton raised his butt and knew that they must have discussed the details of the treatment and control of the Black Death, as well as the subsequent battle plan to regain the lost territory of Calais.

Mayfair took the lead to come to Paris calmly, which already showed that she would not hesitate to support the royal family and support the royal family in regaining the original territory of France.

Mayfair cannot represent the entire French aristocracy, but she can influence the entire French aristocracy.

As her influence grew, so did her fame, so great that even Pope Clement VI had to pretend to be an ostrich and dig his head into the ground.

Until now, the Pope has not dared to characterize Mayfair’s identity.

Did the miracle come to Mayfair? Did it come to the town of Raya? Did it come to the land of France?

The Pope said nothing, not sure, and not questioning.

This also led to the acquiescence of all the nobles that Mayfair was recognized by the Holy See.

If God wanted them, the nobles, to support Philip VI and regain the lost territory, what reason could they have to avoid it?

That the Black Death was raging? Now Mayfair has a solution, and even brought it to Paris and handed it over to the Holy See.

Both parties have obtained Mayfair's things, but have not spread the complete news about the 'revelation of God' yet.

The royal family and the Holy See are suppressing the 'revelation of God', as if they are waiting for something.

Milton was very interested in what Mayfair had mastered, and he was trying to test everything he said at the dinner.

Fei'er didn't hide it, and explained the details about the Black Death in a way that these people could understand.

As for the control methods and treatment methods, we have to wait for the king and the pope to approve and announce it.

She didn't dare to say too much.

If you must know, it’s not impossible, you have to pay some sponsorship fees.

Feier had already made money from this method of making money many times in the hands of the nobles around Raya Town.

Friends are friends, and God is God. I am not making money from you. It is God who allows me to receive money from you. Only by giving can you feel a sense of gain, and you will cherish this hard-won revelation even more.

This kind of nonsense was taught to Fei'er by Xu Siling.

Fei'er was wearing a formal dress, with a young and petite body. Followed by two servants, she found Xu Siling in the corridor.

Seeing Xu Siling's thoughtful look, she couldn't help but look at the servants beside her and motioned for them to leave.

After the servant left, Fei'er came to Xu Siling and stood side by side like a child, looking out the window at the light rain in Paris.

"It's not like you to be almost late for the dinner. Especially when I just saw that the corner of your mouth was a little cracked. If it weren't for the difficulty of saying too much at a dinner arranged by others, I would have asked you directly. Why, you can't go outside. Are you going to get beaten up if you just hang out?"

Fei'er has a taste for teasing. Xu Siling is the most powerful man she has ever seen. She has never seen him suffer at the hands of anyone, so naturally she doesn't believe that he was really beaten.

"Where's Enri?"

"Her? She saw the rain outside and rushed to the stable because she was worried. You put a new saddle and riding clothes on her horse. She will be happy. But Enri's horse is too temperamental. Find an opportunity to give her a gentler one. .”

"I heard someone say that this horse was given to you as a gift, and she wouldn't want to exchange it."

Mayfair helplessly spread her hands: "I know, but we can't always spread the news that the horse flew away the owner and left him alone. Enri doesn't care about her own face, but I still care about her. Not to mention that we will have to fight in the future. , her horse doesn’t feel safe and I’m scared.”

Xu Siling nodded in understanding and replied without continuing the topic.

"I had a fight with John II in a tavern in the St. Charles Market. I received a few punches, but he was not injured."

As she spoke, Xu Siling touched the corners of her mouth, which did hurt a little.

"John II?" Mayfair was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Crown Prince? Why are you still fighting with him?"

"It's okay. It's a discussion between friends. We didn't quarrel. We even got along very well. John II is a very good man."

When Mayfair came back to her senses, she remembered that Xu Siling once said that his purpose of going north first was to contact Philip VI and his son John II first.

It would have been even better to meet Charles, the son of John II.

Unexpectedly, on the first day after arriving in Paris, I met John II without even sleeping in the bed.

The meeting was nothing, but the important thing was that the two of them had a fight.

"Your plans always go so well."

"Plan?" Xu Siling was stunned, "What is my plan?"

"You came to Paris just to meet the king and the crown prince. You were able to get in touch with the crown prince Xu first without relying on me. I have to say that you are indeed powerful. Everything is under your control."

Xu Siling blinked: "You won't doubt that I know that John is in the tavern in St. Carlo Market, so I went there in advance to contact him."

"Isn't it?" Mayfair had no doubt at all, "After such a long time, you have predicted a lot of things in advance. You just know where the crown prince is in Paris. Compared to what you did before, it is nothing."

Xu Siling wanted to say something, but was blocked by Fei'er's next words.

"Even if one day you tell me that the world will end tomorrow, I will believe it."

Xu Siling looked a little helpless: "The world will not perish tomorrow. And let me tell you, I didn't know that John II was in the tavern in St. Charles Market. Maybe my contact with him was an accident?"

"You mean you didn't take the initiative to find him?" Fei'er frowned slightly.

"Yes, or I should say, he took the initiative to find me."

Fei'er fell into deep thought after hearing this. Naturally, she didn't think that Xu Siling would lie to her.

Xu Siling hid it from her, but never lied to her.

"The Crown Prince came to you on his own initiative? What's his motive?"

Xu Siling shook his head: "I know a little about John II's personality. This contact may be an accident. It doesn't seem like he came to find me deliberately. He shouldn't be interested in me, at least compared to you."

"It's best this way." Mayfair said seriously, "I have arranged for someone to go to the palace to announce my arrival, and I will wait for the king to arrange a time to meet. To be honest, I don't like Paris very much. It's a bit depressing. I always feel like something is going on. It's going to happen, but I can't think of anything important." "Then what are we going to do in the days when we don't have a meeting scheduled?"

"What can be done is to wait. I don't have many friends in Paris, and my father's friends died in the Battle of Crécy and were left disabled. The only family in Paris is the Count of Bois."

"Then you are quite free."

"You sound like you have something to do." Mayfair said slowly, "I have made an appointment with Mrs. Milton tomorrow to attend an aristocratic tea party. Those attending the tea party are all children of the aristocracy."

"It's good. Let's see if we can make some friends."

"Do you think I am someone who needs friends?" Mayfair rolled her eyes, "Mrs. Milton said that all the female aristocrats in Paris are very curious about me. If I show up at this aristocratic tea party, I will gain something unexpected."

"Indeed, children of noble families can also be considered a political force. If you can get their support, it will be much easier to do things in the future."

"This is quite a headache for me, and I have to dress up like a devout saint."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"I thought so. I was worried that you had something to arrange, so I came over to ask you."

Feier looked around and saw no one around. She stretched out her little hand and stood on tiptoes, trying to touch the injured corner of Xu Siling's mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Siling slowly bent over and felt the gentleness at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm really impressed by you men. If we don't get along well, we'll fight. If we get along well, we'll fight." Feier's blue eyes showed concern, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. You didn't see John II's face. I beat half of his face into a pig's head."

When Feier heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She could imagine half of her face looking like a pig's head.

"You are really not afraid of causing trouble. You must remember when you go out. Don't call the king Philip VI, and don't call the crown prince John II. This is wrong."

"understood."

"So, will you accompany me to attend that aristocratic tea party tomorrow that may be super boring, so boring that you count ants under the tree?"

Xu Siling was amused by Fei'er and nodded.

"go."

Mayfair showed a sly smile, and usually there was nothing good to do with such a smile.

"Then you have to look forward to it. I heard from Mrs. Milton that most of the women from the Paris aristocratic circle will participate. There will be many aristocratic beauties who will feast your eyes."

Xu Siling smiled helplessly: "I have a wife."

"Yes, you still have a lover." Feier gently tugged on Xu Siling's clothes, "As you said, these noble women are a considerable political force. My knight is so handsome and brave, how about helping me tomorrow? How many dukes’ daughters and marquis’ daughters should I hook up with?”

"Stop playing with me."

"Huh. Just because you care, it doesn't mean they will. I've heard that some of the noble women in the kingdom are particularly open-minded, and many men fall under their sway."

Xu Siling was not prepared to continue on this topic. If we continue talking about it, it would be rubbish.

He thought of something and asked.

"Then will Blanche attend this noble tea party?"

"Blanche?" Mayfair looked strangely, "You care about her very much."

"I'm just a little curious. I'm not interested in her as a person."

Fei'er had a real and fake expression on her face.

Xu Siling didn't understand why she explained it, but after meeting Feier's eyes, she subconsciously explained it.

If Raya Town is a birdcage, Mayfair is the bird that was once imprisoned in the birdcage.

Again, this metaphor applies to Blanche, no problem.

The town of Raya is a birdcage, and Paris is a golden birdcage to Blanche.

Since she was not born as a man, she could not inherit the throne and could only be restricted by life in the palace. She basically couldn't even think of traveling far away from Paris.

She was placed there like a mascot for people to talk to and communicate with, and no one cared about her feelings.

Historically, she was originally engaged to John II. After Philip VI was widowed, Blanche couldn't bear that Philip VI was so sad, so she took care of and comforted him.

Unexpectedly, Blanche captured the heart of Philip VI.

Then there is the beloved story of snatching a daughter-in-law.

The occurrence of this incident did not stabilize Philip VI's throne. On the contrary, it further alienated the nobles from the royal family.

People only see the impact behind things, but do not care about the feelings and thoughts of the parties involved.

Does Blanche have a choice?

Or maybe she never had a choice.

She was arranged to be engaged to John II as soon as he was widowed.

There is no historical record of the story and experiences of Blanche and John II.

But Xu Siling, who had come into contact with John II, knew that John II was a man with extremely strong moral self-restraint.

John II's current wife is not dead. In this case, John II will obviously not have too much contact with Blanche.

Even if others wanted something to happen between the two of them, given John II's temperament, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Therefore, the engagement between John II and Blanche was obviously full of politics.

John II seemed to have no choice. In fact, he had a choice, but historically, it was more like being forced and he was unable to resist.

On the contrary, Blanche is the one who really has no choice.

Being engaged to the future king looked great.

But is this Blanche's wish?

Especially, facing the forced marriage of Philip VI.

Is it also her wish?

To be honest, Xu Siling was not interested in Blanche, but looking back in history, she couldn't help but feel pity for this woman.

Also a bird in a birdcage.

Mayfair is self-reliant. No matter what difficulties she faces, she will fight until she loses everything or wins everything.

Without Xu Siling's appearance, even if Fei'er defeated Johns on her own, Raya Town would have been destroyed by the Black Death.

But Blanche is more like a woman who has accepted her fate. She has no desire to struggle and can only go with the flow and let herself be arranged by anyone.

Just as Xu Siling was thinking about it, Fei'er spoke with great interest.

"Xu. Blanche, she is called by the nobles, 'the beautiful and intelligent being in the Kingdom of France'."

"Although I have never met her, everyone says she is a great beauty." (End of Chapter)
