I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 149 A perfect misunderstanding

Xu Siling simply wanted to take a stroll.

I never expected to meet Blanche here.

Although the aristocratic girl in the pavilion did not introduce herself, Xu Siling had a hunch that the woman in front of her was recognized by French aristocratic women as a beautiful and intelligent French being.

He was also curious. After looking at the garden for so long, no aristocratic girl appeared that caught his eye.

It turned out to be hiding here.

Of course, good-looking is good-looking.

It doesn't mean that Xu Siling is going to have anything happen with her.

The noble girl in front of me was the queen of France in history, the wife of Philip VI, and the fiancée of John II.

Just the blessing of these layers of identity made Xu Siling want to avoid it.

No wonder Philip VI would snatch his daughter-in-law. A man with power would be tempted by such a beautiful woman.

But what Xu Siling cares about is.

Blanche is nineteen years old since she was born.

At the age of nineteen, she had never left Paris and lived in the palace.

In the Middle Ages, women reached adulthood at the age of twelve, and then began to choose and marry their husbands early.

It is still very shameful for a woman who is not married at the age of fifteen, even in some areas of France.

Philip VI would naturally not easily arrange for Blanche to marry an outsider. After all, Blanche was the daughter of the previous king and had too much influence.

The wives of Philip VI and John II both died of the Black Death in the next two years.

Now that Mayfair appears, the father and son's wives will not die easily from the Black Death.

Then put it this way

Will Blanche continue to be a widow?

Blanche was in a daze in the pavilion. Seeing that Xu Siling had no intention of letting her leave, she couldn't help but turn her eyes to Xu Siling.

Her lips were very light in color, and if it weren't for the contrast between her almost pale skin, it would be difficult to even see the blood on her lips.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Blanche subconsciously compromised and didn't even bother to confirm Xu Siling's identity.

Xu Siling could feel that the Blanche in front of her did not like lively occasions, especially when she was used to being alone, and she was suddenly forced to attend such a noble tea party, and she was somewhat resistant in her heart.

But Blanche had no choice to refuse.

"Madam, you are too worried. I am just passing by, you can stay quietly and no one will disturb you."

Xu Siling showed an apologetic smile, and then prepared to go around the pavilion and continue shopping.

Just when Xu Siling was about to leave, Blanche called him strangely.

"Now that you're here, why are you leaving?"

Xu Siling was stunned by these words. What did he mean?

"Well ma'am, wouldn't you like some peace and quiet? I think you'd be happier by yourself."

Blanche's eyes were deep, and there was a gloomy aura about her body.

"Now that I'm here, what's the difference between one person and two people?"

Although Xu Siling was strange, especially because of Blanche's historical status, he was somewhat distanced from her.

But when a beauty invites you, wouldn’t it be bad if you refuse to leave?

Especially Blanche seemed to know who he was, and there was no attitude towards strangers in her tone.

Could it be that Blanche knew who he was and asked him for something?

Xu Siling directly denied this idea in his heart. He didn't think Blanche would know who he was. What source of information could a bird in a birdcage have.

Seeing Xu Siling's hesitation, Blanche frowned slightly.

"I've heard people talk about you before. Everyone said you were brave and fearless, but when we meet today, it's a little different from the rumors."

My God, this woman really knows herself.

Xu Siling was surprised, but since he knew that Blanche knew him, it would not be good for him to be coy.

Xu Siling coughed slightly and came to the pavilion.

Blanche also stood up from the chair. She was wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothes, not too much jewelry, but she still felt the nobility coming her way. Her eyes and hands were all elegant.

From a distance, Xu Siling felt that Blanche's skin was very white, but from a close distance, it felt even whiter.

Almost pale, if any whiter, it would be no different from sickly white.

In those hands, cyan blood vessels were clearly visible.

Blanche is taller than the ten-year-old Charles V, and is close to Xu Siling's chin.

The two looked at each other face to face, Blanche's gloomy eyes did not dodge, and Xu Siling did not think she should be shy.

And this quiet awkwardness has never been broken.

Xu Siling looked at Blanche, and Blanche also looked at Xu Siling.

It wasn't until a breeze blew by that Blanche sighed helplessly and turned to look at the flowers outside the pavilion.

"Everyone says that you lack noble etiquette and often forget your identity. It seems that this is true."

Xu Siling couldn't help but hugged her shoulders and wondered, what's going on?

It is true that he has never studied aristocratic etiquette, and he especially doesn't care much about it.

Mainly because Feier, as his lord, had never asked him for anything, so naturally he didn't care.

This kind of thing can be spread from Laya to Paris.

away from the spectrum.

"I'm quite curious about what people in Paris say about me."

"Praise you for your bravery, praise you for your true chivalry, praise you for being a trustworthy man. However, there are also bad things about you."

Do I have many shortcomings?

Xu Siling rubbed her chin: "What kind of person do you think I am?"

"You?" Blanche narrowed her gloomy eyes and said with a half-smile, "I don't know if you want to hear the truth or the truth."

"Truth, truth?" Xu Siling wondered, "What's the difference between the two?"

"The difference between telling the truth and speaking from the heart is that the word 'heart' in the middle is missing. This 'heart' is selfishness, so the truth must be right and cannot be wrong. It is truth, truth, principle and responsibility. . But it is not necessarily true. It is mixed with selfishness. The former can be said, but the latter cannot be said. "

Xu Siling smiled and confessed: "I don't quite understand."

Blanche shook her head helplessly, opened her pink lips and said slowly.

"For example, if you dare to tell the truth, 'You serve God in everything,' but you dare not tell the truth, 'If you don't do it for yourself, the heaven will destroy you,' you will do the former even if you don't want to do it, and you won't do the latter even if you want to. To explain it simply, the truth is for others to hear, and the truth is for myself to hear."

Xu Siling understood clearly that speaking the truth and speaking from the heart are nothing more than speaking in public and speaking privately.

"You asked me earlier if I wanted to hear the truth or the truth. What if I answered, do I want to hear both?"

"Then you're quite greedy."

“Curiosity makes you greedy.”

"Truth. In my eyes, you are a knight who is brave and firm in your convictions. You are just, defend the truth, uphold the fairness in your mind, and be honest. Even if you are questioned by hundreds of people, you will not shake your heart."

Xu Siling couldn't help but nodded in affirmation. Although she knew it was just a scene, she still felt very comfortable being praised like this by a beauty.

"What about the truth?"

Blanche saw Xu Siling's expression of "please continue to praise me more", and her expression changed. Her face was like a piece of exquisite art, with beautiful facial features. Her originally gloomy temperament changed slightly.

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a sarcastic smile, and the tone of his words was also wrong.

"To be honest, in my heart, you are an out-and-out false person! Others praise you for your chivalry, but in fact, you regard these as dust in your heart!"

"Others say you are righteous, but in fact you are just trying to satisfy your own inner desires!"

"Others praise you for your honesty, but in fact you are just a hypocrite!

"The so-called courage is just driven by interests!"

Xu Siling was stunned, her brown eyes showing surprise.

The sarcastic smile on Blanche's lips did not disappear, as if she was waiting for Xu Siling's anger.

But the next scene made Blanche stunned.

Because Xu Siling was ridiculed and insulted by her and did not get angry.

instead.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Siling couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time he met such an interesting woman, especially this woman who knew him so well.

"This is wrong, how do you know me so well?"

Although he is a knight, he really has no respect for chivalry.

People in Raya Town praised him as a knight of justice because he wiped out all the forest bandits in Raya Town without Mayfair's orders. But everyone doesn't know that the reason why he wiped out the bandits in the forest was simply to chop off the heads of these bandits and harvest skill experience packs.

In the eyes of others, he is indeed honest and says what he says.

But he has always believed that he is a hypocritical person, and he does not think hypocrisy is a derogatory term.

As for courage.

If you just go ahead and do it without any benefit, that's not a fool.

This was the first time Xu Siling met a woman who saw him so clearly.

The last time he was shocked was Ella.

But no matter how smart or sensitive Ella is, she can't see through the secrets behind so many of his behaviors.

In particular, Ella had been in contact with him, but this was the first time that Blanche and the two had met and had no contact at all.

With just a few words from Raya Town, Blanche was able to see through his surface and see his true nature.

This woman is so interesting.

If I don't make friends with such an interesting woman, I'd be a bit sorry that she understands me so well.

"Why aren't you angry?"

Blanche was frightened by Xu Siling's happiness, and her brain shut down. It took her a while to successfully restart her computer.

In Blanche's acquiescence, a man in the Middle Ages would be furious if he was so humiliated by her.

Why did Xu Siling smile instead of being angry, her expression still showed genuine happiness.

Why is he still smiling so happily when I scold him?

Could this person be a pervert?

"Why are you angry?" Xu Siling asked strangely, "I think it's not easy for you."

"Isn't it easy for me?"

"Of course it's not easy. I still understand how difficult it is to be alone."

Xu Siling hugged her shoulders, deeply convinced.

As an executioner, having lived alone on the hillside for so many years, he certainly understands the hardship of being alone.

"How do you understand?" Blanche looked in disbelief.

"How could I not understand?" Xu Siling hugged his shoulders and shook his head, sighing: "When I am alone, I can't communicate with others. Even if someone suddenly appears around me, I don't know what to say. At the beginning, I was quite cool. It’s uncomfortable, but if you slowly get through this difficult period of being alone, you will find a different feeling.”

"How does it feel?" Blanche's curiosity was aroused.

"I have always believed that a person who is good at being alone must be a sober person who can capture and understand the essence of life calmly, meticulously and meticulously, and face life more calmly." Xu Siling looked at Blanche, "For example, you ."

"such as me"

Blanche's beautiful facial features were a little surprised. She didn't expect Xu Siling to have such a profound feeling of being alone.

"Being alone is a time of deep self-exploration. It is not loneliness, but an inner dialogue with oneself. It is isolation from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is a unique kind of tranquility. Although I don't know how you face it at this stage. This loneliness, but don’t be afraid of being alone, don’t run away from being alone.”

Xu Siling raised a finger and educated Blanche leisurely.

"Because solitude is the beginning of self-growth. Only those who enjoy solitude can find their true self."

This time Blanche was really surprised.

Neither of the two people in the conversation noticed that Blanche's gloomy temperament had dissipated a lot.

At this moment, she felt more like she had met someone with the same sensibility and was aroused to be extremely curious.

Blanche is indeed used to being alone. Unlike Xu Siling, although Xu Siling is alone, she can do whatever she wants in private.

As for Blanche herself, due to her status, it is difficult for her to have private free time alone in the palace.

Even though I was alone, I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

In other words, she had no choice.

Xu Siling's views on solitude cannot be expressed by those who have not had a deep understanding of it.

Blanche, Du Yu, and Xu Siling deeply believed in the insights of being alone, but the enjoyment in Xu Siling's words was hard for her to get.

"Even if you are like this." Blanche came back to her senses and slowly lowered her head, somewhat unwillingly: "I still hate you, even hate you!"

Xu Siling was stunned for a moment, then strangely spread his hands.

"I'm not God. God will be hated by pagans, so naturally I don't need everyone to like me."

Blanche didn't know what to say. She originally wanted to humiliate Xu Siling and show Xu Siling her true attitude.

She wasn't afraid of Xu Siling getting angry. Given her status, Xu Siling couldn't do anything to her.

It’s just that Xu Siling’s reaction was unexpected.

At this moment, Blanche discovered that the crown prince in front of her.

It seems really different from what outsiders say.

Philip VI had written to her a long time ago, asking her to have more contact with the crown prince. Although he did not say it directly in the letter, Blanche was not stupid and could fully understand the meaning behind the words.

She stayed alone in the palace for a long time. Because of her special status, she did not meet people easily, nor did she meet men.

Therefore, she had never met John II since she could remember, and only learned about the crown prince from other people's mouths.

Originally, she really didn't want to attend this aristocratic tea party, but Madame Bonnet kept extending invitations, and coupled with the pressure brought by Philip VI, she found it difficult to refuse.

It was difficult for her to face the thought that Madame Bonnet was the wife of the Dauphin, so she hid in a pavilion in the corner of the courtyard.

When Blanche was in a daze in the pavilion, she noticed Xu Siling's appearance. At first, she thought Xu Siling was a servant who came to find her back to the tea party.

However, seeing Xu Siling not leaving, she got up and looked at Xu Siling seriously.

According to outsiders, John II was 28 years old, handsome and upright, with a strong body.

Xu Siling happened to be the same age as John II, and had good looks and figure, so Blanche thought she was John II.

Men should not appear at aristocratic women's tea parties.

Otherwise, how could she not get it wrong when a man who looked to be the same age as John II suddenly appeared in the Crown Prince's private residence, wearing aristocratic clothes and carrying a noble two-handed sword on his waist?

Blanche really thought that Xu Siling in front of her was John II.

Seeing the arrival of John II, Blanche assumed that John II had also received instructions from Philip VI and came to meet and contact her.
