I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

This is the first time Blanche reveals her true feelings.

The two people's eyes met, and Blanche's eyes flashed with a hint of uncaptured shyness, and then she looked away.

"Of course, I still hate you, but I have to admit that you are not a perfect knight, but you are a very good solver."

This woman is so conflicted.

Xu Siling smiled half-heartedly: "Then I'll just think you're complimenting me."

Putting down the silk cloth to block the line of sight, Xu Siling took a few steps back and watched Blanche's carriage leave.

After the carriage left, he shook his head and headed back to Count Bulvar's house.

Blanche's current living situation is not without solutions if she wants to change it.

Time is enough.

Since neither Philip VI nor John's wife would suddenly die suddenly, Blanche would not become the queen of France.

The main thing is that Xu Siling knew very well that Philip VI had only a few years to live.

As long as Philip VI didn't arrange for Blanche to go out randomly before his death.

After his death, the throne was handed over to John, and John didn't think much about Blanche.

If everything goes well, I will have a good relationship with John at that time.

Then it is entirely possible for him to ask Miss Raya to take the initiative to speak for Blanche and ask John to give Blanche freedom.

By the time Philip VI died, Blanche was estimated to be in her twenties.

In the Middle Ages it belonged to old maids.

The main social value of women in the Middle Ages today is to have children.

Whether it is a female noble or a female citizen, starting from the age of 12 and getting married, it is basically a continuous process of pregnancy, childbirth, and waiting for conception.

Until a woman has a physical problem and cannot give birth, or she has a problem and dies while giving birth, she will have to keep giving birth.

Blanche is now nineteen years old. Anyone else could be the mother of three or four children.

Of course, this is not something Xu Siling needs to care about.

He helped Blanche to resolve her knotted emotions, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing. The two were not friends to begin with. He cared about Blanche simply out of a small debt to stand in history.

Now he thinks that he has done enough. As long as Blanche is not a stupid woman, she should let him go and stop looking for opportunities to embarrass him.

Time will save Blanche anyway, if everything goes well with his and Mayfair's plan.

Xu Siling kept thinking on the way back.

What he heard in Marquis Boggs's library.

One thing Marquis Boggs said was right. In this kingdom, among the three main parties, the royal family, the Holy See, and the nobility, he and Mayfair did belong to the third party.

He and Mayfair can belong to either party, or they can belong to neither.

Now that he and Mayfair have demonstrated their ability to prove their worth, Philip VI believes that I have the advantage, and the reason for prolonging the meeting with Mayfair is to further expand Mayfair's influence.

Xu Siling had been curious about his performance in the knight competition and the title rewards he obtained. Even if the king's official documents were decentralized, he would not have exploded so quickly.

In just three days, the door of Bulwa's house was crowded with people.

The progress is so fast that people are caught off guard.

Now it seems that there must be Philip VI behind this situation. As long as Mayfair and him, the perfect knight, are made more sacred and perfect, then Mayfair's support for the royal family will be greater.

The Holy See and the nobles have now seen Mayfair and his value, and they must not be able to hold back.

If Fei'er and he were to completely side with the royal family, the only ones who would suffer would be the Holy See and the nobles.

They knew very well what Philip VI was like.

Although he still didn't understand what kind of bargaining chips the Holy See and the nobles would use to negotiate with Feier, Xu Siling couldn't imagine what kind of bargaining chips he and Feier could have to transfer their support.

But he will still be curious about what methods these people will use.

but
Xu Siling thought of the letter that Marquis Boggs got.

This letter is a problem. Although I don’t know the content of the letter, I feel that if it spreads, it will have a big impact on Mayfair.

He didn't want this letter to become a bargaining chip for the nobles to threaten him and Mayfair.

This letter must be taken back.

What the content is about really doesn't matter to him.

But it had to go away, it was important to him.

Returning from the back door of the Count of Bulvar's house.

At this time, Mayfair and Enri were not at the Earl's residence.

Neither Milton nor his wife were there.

Ever since he won the knight's tournament and received the title of perfect knight, he and Mayfair became completely popular in the Paris aristocratic circle.

Mayfair’s daily itinerary is fully planned.

As the host, Mrs. Milton naturally accompanies Mayfair everywhere every day, and she seems to be teasing her.

So did Milton himself.

Men and men, women and women, each have their own entertainment.

Because Xu Siling's fame had skyrocketed, it was somewhat troublesome for Fei'er to take him out, so she left him at home every day, with only An Li accompanying her.

Back at the earl's house, Xu Siling found that he had nothing to do. He had a plan to seize the letter, but he had to wait for Mayfair to come back to discuss it.

This was the agreement that Faile made with him after the knights' competition.

If it is not a special emergency, if Xu Siling wants to do something big, discuss it with her as much as possible.

He was probably frightened by Xu Siling's unauthorized stunt in the knight's competition.

Fei'er's meaning is very straightforward. I will not question your choice or deny your plan, but at least let her know in advance before doing anything and take care of her little heart.

Xu Siling was walking boredly in the courtyard. When passing by the gate of the mansion, she saw that the gate was still crowded with people.

The knight's retinue to the left of the gate is looking for a job.

The noble knight on the right side of the gate seeks a duel with Xu Siling.

The knights' retinue did not dare to cause trouble, but just gathered around and waited.

The knights are different. They belong to the nobility. Although they are not nobles, their status is here.

These knights are basically not knights of major nobles, but knights of small nobles from all over the kingdom.

When I came to Paris, I naturally wanted to get a chance to make myself famous.

Now this opportunity is before them.

Xu Siling, a knight from the countryside who had never heard of the name, could become the perfect knight of the kingdom.

These people were not convinced, especially when they heard the details of the knight's competition.

Because it is too beyond the scope of common sense.

"Knight Raya, come out! Don't hide in there!"

"I want to challenge you!"

This group of people screamed from beginning to end, but they had perseverance.

Xu Siling thought that as long as he ignored them and left it to dry for a few days, his fever would slowly subside and the group would disperse.

It is now known that Philip VI was behind him to help build momentum.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to make your heat disappear and wait for them to leave on their own.

Xu Siling thought for a while and finally decided to shut up these people.

There's nothing to do now anyway.

Xu Siling slowly came to the gate of the mansion.

The family guard had a helpless face as he dealt with the knight's various unreasonable demands. Suddenly, he saw Xu Siling appearing behind him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Lord Knight, why are you out here?"

"They are a little noisy, so it's better to come out and deal with it."

The knights and knights' retinue at the gate suddenly became lively and noisy when they saw that the man wearing high-class citizen clothes was the perfect knight of the kingdom who was widely rumored in Paris and recognized by the king!

"Master Perfect Knight, look at me! I have superb swordsmanship and my teacher is Master Bock! I will serve as your retinue and will never embarrass you!"

"No, Lord Knight, look at me! My father is Baronet Cole of the Kingdom, and I want to be your bodyguard!"

"Get out of here! What's wrong with you guys!"

"It's time for knights to duel! Are you crazy about looking for a job?" With the identity of the knights there, how could these knights' retinues dare to shout with them.

Nobles have many sons. It is normal to have seven or eight sons, but only one has the right to inherit.

In a baronet's family, the son who is the last in rank is not as good as a knight.

Therefore, when these noble children were angered by knights, they dared not speak out.

Xu Siling ignored these knight followers and glanced around at the knights who kept shouting that they wanted to blow his head off.

He raised his hand and pressed it down to signal them to be quiet.

After they were quiet, Xu Siling spoke.

"If you want to challenge me, you can. I will give you this opportunity."

Before the knights could wildly recommend themselves, Xu Siling's words immediately followed, leaving them in a daze.

"But there are two little rules for dueling with me."

"First, I will only accept one person's challenge every day."

"Second, to duel with me, you need to sign a life and death document."

"In a duel with me, one of the parties must die, either me or you."

Xu Siling's brown eyes scanned a circle of silent knights.

"As long as no one dies in the duel, the duel will never end. There will be no surrender or surrender."

The knight attendants and guards on the side were so frightened by Xu Siling's ferocious aura that they swallowed their saliva.

Do you want to use your own life as a bargaining chip when it's just a duel?
The knights, with stiff faces, looked at each other.

Originally, when they heard that Xu Siling would only accept one person's challenge every day, they all rushed to do it.

But when they heard Xu Siling's second request, their intense hearts felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.

Not that they were afraid.

Instead, life is used as a bargaining chip in a duel, and everyone has to think twice.

"I only give you 10 seconds. If no one stands up to fight me yet, then you can disappear now."

"Humph!"

A famous knight stood up first. His face stood upright and he was very angry.

He felt that Xu Siling was looking down on them, thinking that they did not dare to fight to the death.

"Knight Raya, do you think we are afraid of death?" He slammed the door of the mansion angrily, pointed at Xu Siling and shouted: "I, Knight Berkeley, challenge you to a life-and-death duel! To the death!"

"Okay, then it's up to you." Xu Siling didn't care.

"How are you going to duel! Where to go!"

"You don't have to go anywhere, just stay here. Come in."

The guard looked embarrassed: "Lord Knight Raya, are you serious?"

"Let him come in. I may have to trouble you to arrange for someone to clean the floor later."

The guard felt as if he had runny nose, his throat was blocked, and he didn't know what to say.

Did he mean it?

How could there be a duel in front of the count's house?
Berkeley was let in and snorted: "Yes, we still have to have the floor cleaned! Perfect Knight, don't admit defeat later, I will definitely cut you to the ground!"

Xu Siling couldn't help but shake her head. Anyway, these knights were not elite knights from the major nobles, but country knights from all over the kingdom.

It can be seen from the way Berkeley's equipment is worn.

The chain mail on her body has no long sleeves and only reaches the arms, and the hem of the chain skirt only reaches the waist.

Not to mention others.

This armor and equipment configuration is similar to that of the guards in Raya Town, and is not even as well-dressed as the guards of Count Bulvar's family.

They wanted to die and were willing to give Xu Siling's life as 10 points of skill proficiency. Naturally, he didn't care.

"Perfect Knight, I'll be waiting for you here. Go put on your armor!"

"No, it doesn't take so much trouble to kill you."

"What did you say?!"

Xu Siling casually pointed to a person in the knight's retinue, and then asked.

"Can you lend me your one-handed sword?"

The knight's guard who was pointed out looked frightened and happy. Without saying a word, he handed over the sword with both hands.

Even a little humble.

"Perfect knight, my one-handed sword may not be particularly good"

"nothing."

Xu Siling held the scabbard in her left hand and slowly came a few meters in front of the Berkeley Knight, as if she was ready.

This made Berkeley's eyebrows rise again.

"You don't wear armor and don't take out your sword? Are you kidding me?"

"I said, I really don't need to go to such trouble to kill you. You have to have time to talk. I suggest you leave a last word and ask someone to take you home."

Not only was Berkeley angry, but the knights outside the gate were also indignant.

"Berkeley, kill this perfect knight!"

"He is too arrogant, why should he look down on us!"

"You are also a country knight, why are you pretending?"

Berkeley's face was twitching. He pulled out his two-handed sword, clenched it with both hands, and pointed the sword blade at Xu Siling.

But Xu Siling still did not change his posture, holding the scabbard with his left hand, gently stroking the sword hilt with his right hand, and turned sideways to face Berkeley.

"Since you are seeking death, then don't blame me!"

Berkeley's eyes burned with anger as he stepped forward.

The two-handed sword in his hand set off a biting cold wind and struck Xu Siling quickly.

Xu Siling looked calm and quickly pulled out the one-handed sword from the scabbard. With amazing reflexes and strength, he deflected the attack of Berkeley's two-handed sword with one hand.

The speed of the sword being unsheathed was extremely fast, which was outrageous.

"How can it be!"

But Xu Siling did not stop. He followed the enemy's attack direction, held the sword in one hand and pushed forward. The one-handed sword stabbed Berkeley's throat with inertia.

Berkeley wanted to dodge, but found that Xu Siling's sword was too fast!

Before he could react, in the blink of an eye, the cold light from the tip of the sword was in front of him.

puff.

Xu Siling put the sword back into its scabbard.

Berkeley's two-handed sword fell to the floor. His face was filled with disbelief, and his hands were tightly covering his throat.

But the blood in his throat still poured out from the gaps between his fingers, and he couldn't hold it back at all.

After a while, Berkeley fell to the ground helplessly, and his breath gradually disappeared.

This duel was so fast that people couldn't breathe and didn't dare to look away.

Xu Siling easily killed a knight with just one move.

Everyone fell into deathly silence, and many people realized that this life-and-death duel was over before they could even react.
Everyone felt their scalps numb.

After Xu Siling's sword was sheathed, it was returned directly to its original owner and handed back to the original owner.

"Thanks."

"No, thank you." The knight's retinue was still in a daze.

Xu Siling patted the guard on the shoulder: "I'll have to trouble you later and arrange for someone to clean the floor."

"Sir Knight Raya. It's not troublesome. I can't bear it." The guard was frightened.

Xu Siling looked at the knight at the gate with an indifferent expression, as if he had done nothing just now.

"If you still want to challenge me, come back tomorrow. Today is over."

Then he left the group of people looking at each other in horror and entered the mansion alone. (End of chapter)
