I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

The bookstore fell into silence.

Catalino's throat squirmed.

As the son of a marquis, although he does not have direct inheritance rights, his intelligence and understanding have always been loved by the Marquis of Boggs.

He may not have a full sense of justice, but at least he is a man who knows right from wrong.

"Father, are you serious?"

"What, Catalino. Are you thinking about asking me to take this letter to the king? Or are you going to find other nobles and announce this matter?"

"I" Catalino was very confused, "I think Miss Raya is not what the rumors say. She is full of ambition and can even deceive everyone for her own benefit! Even if there is no reason, she has to make up a random story. , just to kill Lord Hamis! She is a terrible person!”

"No, no, kid, you have to know, it's not just Raya, it should be said. All of us are like this."

Catalino was in disbelief: "Father."

"Believe me, not only the nobles, but also the royal family and even the Holy See would like Raya to be such a person. Only such a person is the most reasonable, and the most unreasonable person. Someone is already doing it. It's difficult. No, do you really want to see a saint who has been inspired by God to openly support the king? "

"I"

This went against Catalino's original intention. He had always hidden the letter and prevented it from being exposed. The reason was simple: he didn't know what to do.

Compared to both parties in the Battle of Tamubao, as an outsider, he knew the most details.

It was precisely because he knew that he was afraid.

He was more afraid of Fei'er than Xu Siling.

Xu Siling was terrifying in terms of strength, but at least he knew he was strong.

But Feier is mentally scary because you have no idea what she is thinking.

Why does a nobleman want to become a saint of the Holy See for no reason? Then he had to support the royal family in the name of God and stand on the opposite side of the nobles.

This is something Catalino never expected.

So after meeting Marquis Boggs, Catalino handed over the letter and wanted to get an answer.

The answer his father gave him was very direct and rude.

That is, don't think too much. People like Fei'er are extremely common, whether in the nobility or the royal family.

Interest is the foundation of human nature.

The reason why Mayfair did this was, in the final analysis, all for herself.

Those who drive themselves to do things for profit are the ones who have the best control, or the best understanding.

"So, father will not publicize this letter?"

"Of course not. This is a good bargaining chip for us to negotiate with Raya. With it, Raya will naturally be controlled by us. And, what do you think the king will do if this letter gets into the hands of the king?"

Xu Siling kept frowning after hearing this, and Chrissy accurately captured the changes in his expression.

Catalino thought for a while and raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

"His Majesty the King will help cover up this matter!"

"That's right. The deeper the influence of Raya in the nobility and the Holy See, the greater the support the royal family can get. This is why the king has not met Raya until now."

The two father and son looked at each other in silence.

Even the three people inside the bookshelf, except Xu Siling, had uneasy eyes.

They are just female nobles of the kingdom, they know the things they come into contact with, not as well as the men.

After listening to the conversation between Boggs and his son, I learned a lot of secrets about Feier and Xu Siling.

Their moods were slightly complicated.

For example, Xu Siling is not as full of chivalrous etiquette as he appears.

The Xu Siling that came out of Catalino's mouth and the Xu Siling that everyone saw were basically two different people.

The former refers to a violent, bloodthirsty, and powerful demon executioner.

What the latter saw was a perfect knight who was calm, gentle and polite to everyone.

For a moment, Chrissy looked at Xu Siling's profile and didn't know which one was him in front of her.

But Blanche is different. She has complicated emotions, but she is well prepared.

In the garden of the aristocratic tea party, Xu Siling accepted the beautiful misunderstanding and the wrong insult she received because of the misunderstanding.

Looking back now, Xu Siling never lied to her. Xu Siling has always been a hypocritical person. He never said that he was a perfect knight and a man full of moral character.

All the labels on Xu Siling were actually placed by others and were their wishful thinking.

"Remember, Catalino. Do things according to the rules of the nobles, have less contact with people from the royal family and the Holy See, and spend more time with other nobles."

"I see."

"I was summoned to Paris by the king. I still don't know what the king mainly wants to do. But Bonnet, the wife of the crown prince, is not a woman who likes liveliness. She is willing to hold a large-scale aristocratic tea party and invite the female aristocrats of Paris. There must be someone behind it. The King's Shadow."

Catalino hesitated: "I think His Majesty the King wants to build momentum for Miss Raya."

"This is part of it." Marquis Boggs stood up from his chair and turned to look at the family drawings: "The other part should be paid attention to. It should not appear in the people at that noble tea party."

"Raya Knight?"

"It shouldn't be him. I asked about the knight's tournament. It was the crown prince's impromptu idea. His appearance at the noble tea party was a complete coincidence."

"Who should that be?"

"Who do you think appeared the most unexpectedly in the entire aristocratic tea party?"

Catalino thought for a long time and scratched his head: "According to my opinion, I think the appearance of the Crown Prince and Knight Raya is really unexpected. They don't look like men who should appear on that occasion."

"anything else."

"And..." Catalino racked his brains, and suddenly he thought of something, and his eyes suddenly opened: "And Princess Blanche!"

"Yes, I was thinking of her too."

As soon as these words came out, Chris was deep in thought, and even Xu Siling couldn't help but think about it.

On the contrary, Blanche's pale complexion looked even more sickly, as if she was thinking of some bad memories.

"Blanche is the daughter of the former King of France. She is a beautiful and intelligent person in France, but she is a poor person. It can be said that if she was born as a man instead of a woman, she should have sat on the throne of France. Unfortunately, it was taken away by Philip. What a blessing to him.”

The Marquis of Boggs spoke precisely and seemed to be instructing his son.

"Although Blanche is a royal princess, her identity is sandwiched between the royal family, which is extremely embarrassing."

"She has no freedom, and Blanche does not have freedom. Naturally, the royal family does not take her seriously. Even the nobles do not take her seriously."

"But if Blanche is free, then her influence on the royal family will be extremely great. You must know that her special status will cause the king a headache no matter who marries her."

"It's ridiculous. The princess of the kingdom is almost twenty years old and hasn't gotten married yet. I really don't know how the nobles and people will make fun of the royal family when she gets older."

"So she's useless."

After saying this, Blanche's face turned even paler, and she only felt that the gloomy charm of brown was a little thicker, and she even felt a little dizzy in front of her eyes.

Chrissy didn't notice that Xu Siling was among the three, so he naturally accurately captured Blanche's changes.

But he didn't think his relationship with Blanche was that good, and he didn't care.

As long as Blanche doesn't faint and make a noise that could expose her.

Catalino took over: "His Majesty the King will not give Princess Blanche her freedom, so Princess Blanche spends most of her time in the palace. But she suddenly attended the aristocratic tea party hosted by Madame Bonnet. She looked very Normally, it is natural for a royal princess to attend a tea party held by the royal family. But for Princess Blanche to appear in public view, it means that there must be His Majesty the King’s intention here.”

"Yes, my child is getting smarter."

"Your Majesty the King, what is the meaning of letting Blanche appear at the noble tea party?"

"This is something that even I can't figure out clearly, and it's also the direction I want to think about."

Marquis Boggs thought of something and turned to look at his son Catalino.

"Remember what I said, have less contact with people in the royal family, including Blanche." "I know, father. Otherwise, the aristocratic tea party hosted by Madam Bonnet would not only involve Chrissy."

"Of course, she is the youngest. No matter what she does at the tea party, she cannot represent us. As for Chris, I have already told her that she will be measured and will not have more contact with the royal family."

At this time, inside the bookshelf, it was Chris's turn to look pale.

Such family secrets were learned by Xu Siling and Blanche, and she no longer knew what to do.

Marquis Boggs stepped forward and patted Catalino on the shoulder: "And your brother is frail and sick. As a younger brother, you should work harder to share the burden."

Catalino was first surprised and then delighted, and quickly bowed his head in response.

"Yes, my father!"

Catalino gathered his emotions and then asked.

"So, father, what do you need me to do now?"

"doing what?"

Marquis Boggs rubbed the beard on his chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Take good care of your sister Chris. I heard that Knight Raya once saved her life during the knights' competition. Because of this, Chris has a good impression of Knight Raya. You can invite me on my behalf. Knight Raya is here as a guest. After all, he saved your dear sister’s life. You must reward him well and leave a favor. "

"Are we going to win over Knight Raya?"

"Of course, this is the favor that Chris owes, and we have a better reason to contact him than other nobles. Raya is not a saint, and Knight Raya will not be either."

"I understand!"

Xu Siling looked at the two women on the left and right, and their expressions were not very good.

Now he understood why Chris was so nervous when she heard the voices of her father and brother, and even pushed him and Blanche into the inside of the bookshelf to hide.

It's all because of Blanche.

No noble wanted their children to have more contact with Blanche.

Everyone is also afraid that Blanche will be the king's eye.

On the surface, everyone respects Blanche, but privately no one takes her seriously.

this is the truth.

Just like the Marquis of Boggs said.

Blanche without freedom is useless.

Like art.

Art is entertainment, a tool for presentation, not a necessity.

This was the case with Blanche, who became a verbal entertainment for the nobles and a mascot displayed by Philip VI to outsiders.

In this kingdom, it really doesn't matter whether there is Blanche or not.

The three people just inside the bookshelf each have their own troubles.

The father and son in the bookstore were still discussing household matters. Suddenly, a servant knocked on the door of the bookstore, looking for Chris.

Through the servant's mouth, the Boggs and his son knew that Blanche and Raya Knight were guests at home at this time!

"You said Chris came into my bookstore?"

The servant stumbled a little: "I, I'm not sure. The lady in front of me has been in the courtyard with the princess and Knight Raya. After they entered the house together, they couldn't find anyone."

Catalino replied subconsciously: "It should be in her bedroom, go and have a look."

"Yes, young master!"

After the servant left, Marquis Boggs and Catalino looked at each other.

"Father, how about we take a stroll at home? Maybe we can 'encounter' them by chance."

The father and son agreed with each other and left the bookstore one after another.

Before leaving, Marquis Boggs stuffed the letter into the desk drawer, which was all seen by Xu Siling.

Chrissy finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her father and brother leave.

She brought Xu Siling and Blanche out, full of apologies.

"I'm so sorry! Princess Blanche! I hope you won't take my father and brother's words to heart!"

Blanche looked decadent and waved her hands indifferently.

In fact, she knew this kind of thing very well.

Having lived alone for so long, she was all too familiar with this feeling of being powerless.

But no one has ever said it to her face.

What you think and what others say are two different things.

Chrissy saw that Blanche looked unhappy, but there was really nothing she could do.

How could she have imagined that she just wanted to take two people into the bookstore to look at paintings, how could she meet her father and brother by chance.

It was fine if I bumped into her outside, but I didn't know how to explain that I bumped into her with Blanche and Xu Siling in Marquis Boggs's bookstore.

If I had known this earlier, I might as well not have hidden it! damn it.

"I know this is wrong, but Princess Blanche and the Spirit Knight, could you please climb out of the window of the bookstore?"

Xu Siling smiled helplessly after hearing this. He didn't care, otherwise he would have gone out from the door and bumped into Hou Boges and his son in the house. He really wouldn't know what to say.

This is true for him, not to mention Blanche.

It was a very rude request to ask the royal princess to leave through the window, but under special circumstances, Blanche didn't care.

In other words, I'm not in the mood to care.

Now, she doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

When they came to the window of the study room, Chris tactfully stretched out her head to investigate. Seeing no one around, she signaled the two of them to climb through the window, while she went to the door of the study room to listen to see if anyone came back.

Xu Siling flexibly climbed out of the house and came to the courtyard. The bookstore was on the first floor and there was no high risk.

It's just that Blanche is wearing a noble dress, so it's a little troublesome to climb through the window.

With Xu Siling's help, he managed to pull it out smoothly, looking a little embarrassed.

Chris showed an apologetic expression to the two of them, and then closed the window.

Xu Siling was just about to leave with Blanche. Unexpectedly, after Chris disappeared, Blanche felt dizzy and almost fell down when she raised her feet.

Fortunately, he was keenly aware of it and helped Blanche in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Under Blanche's golden hair, her beautiful gloomy face was very depressed.

"If you want to laugh at me, you can."

Xu Siling wondered: "What do I have to make fun of you for?"

"Let you see such a bad side of me."

"You are strong, and you are not as unbearable as Boggs said."

"But everything he said was right."

Blanche's face is like a delicate work of art, with beautiful facial features and almost pale skin.

Brown eyes looked down at the floor, wondering what he was thinking.

Her eyes were as deep as those in the mountains and forests, and there was a gloomy atmosphere all over her body.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, there was an indescribable discomfort.

"Things you shouldn't have are beyond your reach." (End of Chapter)
