He slowly turned his head and met Catlin's gaze: "...Why did you start talking?"
"...Uh, I, I suddenly became able to speak a few days ago." She tilted her head, her shining eyes full of doubts: "Don't you know?"
At this time, she didn't look like a child with the intelligence of only three or four years old.
61. Her emotions are different
"Your Majesty, just now, just now, Katrin spoke!"
His Majesty the Pope was at work. When she saw Charles, who had dragged Catlin over to report the situation, she didn't take it seriously.
She simply replied: "I know, don't be so surprised... Katrin's condition has improved a lot recently. Last month, she was able to speak, and her intelligence has almost returned to the level of her peers. It's just that I I forgot to tell you...but she still has relatively little social experience and knowledge, and her personality is a little simpler. Just take more care of her."
"This makes no sense. Why did she suddenly recover? Wasn't she cursed?"
"Maybe it's the mercy of Heavenly Father... The curse has weakened a bit recently, but Katrin's current physical function is still very poor, and her organs are still in a state of failure. Her life is still very fragile and she needs to rest. Ciel , don’t be so nervous. It’s not good for her health if you drag her around.”
"Yes, Master Charles, you don't need to be so nervous." Katrin also echoed: "Grandma St. Ann is very busy, let's not disturb her."
The attitude of these two people was very calm, which made him look like a fussy child.
He could only take Katrin back to the side room and continue waiting.
Under such circumstances, Ciel certainly had no intention of reading any stories.
Katrin looked at the silent Ciel with some embarrassment, wondering if she had done something wrong.
"Lord Charles, can you continue reading a story for me?" She asked boldly and cautiously, looking at Charles with a serious face.
"Uh... Katrin, since you have regained your intelligence, why do you still ask me to read the story? You can read it yourself."
"I'm sorry, I'm not very literate now. Moreover, in the Holy See, other knight uncles and aunts passing by don't look at me very friendly. Those bishops, grandparents, when they come to see me and Grandma St. Ann, they always say... I lied, but Sir Charles is the only one who is really patient and sincere to me, and I can feel it."
"Okay...but you don't need to add 'Sir' as a suffix to my name, and you don't need to give me an honorific title. I can't bear it."
After saying these words, Katrin seemed a little embarrassed: "But Shi, you are a god. Before, I couldn't speak, but you were so patient and listened to my requests. You changed the endings of so many tragedies, and you gave me a gift every time." I create so many stories. I shouldn’t just call you by your name.”
Ciel found it a little difficult to explain: "Those are just stories, Katrin. It may be a bit straightforward to say that, but those stories are not true. You will know this fact sooner or later: all the fairy tales in the picture books are made up by me. It came out...your Grandma Saint Ann asked me to change the ending, so I changed it, really, it’s that simple.”
"Since you created it, doesn't it make it real?"
Katrin was a little puzzled: "Even if those stories did not take place in our Arran world, even if we cannot touch, communicate with or get to know the characters in those stories, from the time those stories were born and those characters began their adventures, They exist in our consciousness.
"Just like the world we know, it exists in our hearts. They are all real at this moment.
"Even if you are just an ordinary person in the Yalan world, you are still a god who controls the fate of countless creatures in another world. Since you can change the ending, create another possibility for me, and bring me happiness and perfection story, then you are my god."
Her answer left Ciel speechless.
After another period of silence, Charles finally spoke: "...Were you just using idealist philosophy to discuss the definition of 'existence' with me?"
"What is idealism?" Katrin didn't understand this term made up by Ciel.
Each of Katrin's answers was completely unexpected.He felt that he couldn't keep up with Katrin's brain circuitry: "I really don't know whether you are too naive or too smart..."
But no matter what, Ciel, who was confused, still picked up the fairy tale picture book, intending to choose a story at random, coaxing Katrin first, and then said: "Forget it...Which story do you want me to read?"
"It doesn't matter. These are the stories you created. I like them all."
Her sincerity really touched Ciel.
He put away all the messy thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, and forgot about the real world. He went back to the days when he was still a full-time teacher to two girls in Ipoli, and read the entire picture book seriously.
A long time has passed.
Katrin listened with rapt attention and was delighted.
"Thank you, Lord Ciel." She picked out the largest gemstone from the treasure box she collected and handed it to Ciel: "This is my gift to you."
"Forget it, you have given me a lot of jewelry like this before... By the way, I have a question, where did you get all these treasures?"
"Grandma St. Ann gave it to me. There were always many bishops, grandparents, and grandparents who gave her these things. If she didn't want them, they would secretly put the things in Grandma St. Ann's hand. She was annoyed, so she gave them to me. I feel like it's weird just looking at it. They were quite beautiful, so I collected them.”
"Oh, it turns out it's a bribe for Your Majesty." Charles realized that he had heard something extraordinary: "Forget it, don't give me this thing. Seriously, this thing is hot to hold..."
"Don't you want it?" She felt a little embarrassed: "Then how should I thank you?"
She had just finished asking, when suddenly, the door to the side room was pushed open heavily by someone.
It's Hilna whose face is full of black lines.
"Teacher..." Her tone was full of resentment: "Why are you going behind my back and being with this... Miss Katrin again?"
I had just finished deep meditation in the preaching hall and felt that my mind had calmed down a bit. I came over to find Charles when he came home, but when I asked him - he and Katrin were reading storybooks in the side room.This directly caused her newly calmed heart to become restless again, and she opened the door directly.
Her hands could literally break the door panel into pieces.
Saint Ann IV, who was working at the side, just glanced at them sideways and continued to focus on the work at hand.
"Ah, it's Miss Hilna."
Before Ciel could speak, Katrin came over happily and handed the gem in her hand to the anxious girl in front of her: "A meeting gift for you."
"Huh?" Sirna, who was still furious at first, was stunned.
She didn't expect that this woman, who was already a serious problem, would actually open up her spiritual wisdom.
"...can you speak?"
"Yes." Katrin was completely unaware of Sirna's hostility and said to herself: "You are Lord Charles's student, right? Lord Charles is very kind to me. He often tells me stories and spends time with me. I chatted with him and was very kind to me. Today he read me fairy tales all afternoon...but he just didn't want to accept the thank you gift I gave him. Can you please accept it for me? Please."
With that said, she handed the crystal that shone with extremely dazzling light to Sirna.
After hearing this, the results of Sirna's meditation for most of the day were immediately wiped out.
She almost fainted.
62. Desire for exclusivity
When Silna faced Katrin, she truly felt her powerlessness.
This woman is different from Lovna.
Although Lovna is also naive, Sirna is confident that she can surpass her, who has no talent.And she is a bit clumsy and stupid sister.
However, Katrin's situation was fundamentally different.
Although she is confident that she will not be weaker than this thin blonde woman in terms of figure and appearance, but now that Katrin has regained her consciousness and can speak, and she has the support of Grandma Pope, the threat level is getting higher and higher...
This woman's simplicity is too much, leaving only innocence and gentleness. She can easily arouse the protective desire of others, and she does not have any inferiority complex or shyness when facing Ciel.
She would also make extremely affectionate moves toward Teacher Ciel that she wouldn't even dare to do.
She actually had the guts to hug Charles directly, and bring her face so close to him every time, even to the point of touching her. If he continued to make such a lawless fuss, she might really start hugging Charles and start kissing him. , I really have no shame or shame...
Although he is already such an old man, he still acts like a child, pestering Ciel to tell stories and read picture books - that is what only children do.
But Katrin and Ciel did become closer and closer.
This is really bad.
Sirna knew very well that she was now developing into a high-level clergy, and would probably become a bishop or a saintly nun in the future.
However, in this way, he can no longer engage in an open marriage.After all, this is a Vatican rule.
But Sirna has been in Glory City for so long, and she has actually heard about it. She knows that many high-level clergy are only pious on the surface, but in private, they also have some secret partners and have fun in secret mansions, but such things Can't get on the stage.
Therefore, Sirna's expectation is that when she becomes a cardinal or a nun of the Holy See, she will let Teacher Charles serve as her personal bodyguard or bodyguard knight.
During the day, he is his nominal lieutenant and protector. At night, they take off their disguises and become real husband and wife partners...
But she also knew that although Ciel valued her future, he had always treated her as a child.This teacher, who had been calm and indifferent as long as she could remember, would most likely not agree to her advances.
Even if I feel itchy, I have to get Teacher Charles under my control no matter what, so that he can realize her charm as a woman and be willing to form a secret partner with her in the future... That will take many years of bonding.
Charles, who is now nearly thirty years old, seems to her to be in the golden period of his life - his body is still strong due to tempering, and his face still retains the vitality and temperament of his youth, but at the same time he also has the increasingly mature appearance. of composure and charm.
Especially after coming to Glory City, studying at the seminary, and meeting those "pillar talents" from all over the continent, Sirna became even more aware of the preciousness of Ciel.
In the seminary, those children of princes and nobles who thought they were extraordinary and superior to others were always either greedy or conceited and enjoyed themselves without restraint.
On every holiday, they would leave the Glory City, which has many rules, and go to the Port of Saints, which is dozens of miles away. In that prosperous port without too many religious rules, they would spend their money and have fun with those flattering and tacky women. .
If you use numerology spells to spy on their desires, those disgusting auras and desires will make Sirna disgusted to the point of vomiting.
But the Holy See does not care about their behavior. After all, the power in their hands and hereditary status are the reasons why the Holy See cares about them.
And those lower-class nobles and ordinary landowners who have climbed up through hard work are always full of hostility.In order to please me and to continue to make progress, I constantly have to compromise with those professors and mentors.So much so that they were tainted with countless philistine atmospheres, which was completely opposite to the education they sought after entering the seminary.
Only Ciel has always been like that, always the perfect partner in Sirna's heart.
He will teach her, take care of her, protect her, be strong and reliable, rational and restrained, without any shortcomings.
The more she grows up and sees more, the more she feels that Ciel is perfect and the more she desires Teacher Ciel.
Of course, only Sirna herself is worthy of such a perfect person.
If at this time, her beloved teacher was taken over by someone who appeared out of nowhere, her future happiness would be in vain.
…………
When the furious Sirna was stuffed with a gem by Katrin, she became silent.
Looking at her emerald-like clear eyes, which were free of any distracting thoughts, Hilna also felt resigned - of course, the more reason was that Pope Saint Ann IV was right behind her, and she couldn't talk to this person at all. Katrin's woman fell out.
She could only take the gem stiffly, and then thank her through gritted teeth.
On the way back to their residence with Ciel, Hilna held the sparkling gem given by Katrin and said nothing.
The sparkle of this gem made her face even more gloomy.
"Silna, don't be so hostile to Katrin." Charles was a little tired: "She is Lord Monroe's daughter, and she is also favored by the crown. She is just a simple and friendly girl."
Sirna turned her head, casually smoothed the dark blue hair around her ears, and said nonchalantly: "I don't hate her, I'm just surprised, teacher, you actually like that kind of silly girl." ——But, after all, teacher, you are not young anymore and have never been married. As a student, I actually hope that you, teacher, can be happy. I just think that Katrin and teacher are not suitable for you."
"Don't make blind guesses." Charles patted her head gently. He could see the dissatisfaction in the child's tone, so he could only explain helplessly: "I hate marriage, and I will probably never get married in this life."
"Ah?" Hilna heard the teacher say this for the first time. She turned to look at Charles in confusion: "Why doesn't the teacher want to get married?"
"Because of the trouble. Countless trivial matters, endless arguments, and long running-in... Marriage, as a solemn and solemn contract, is of great significance, but it may lead to countless conflicts due to conflicts between the husband and wife, and even the two parties may turn against each other. Falling in love is also troublesome. So, it is better to stay single, so that you can at least have some leisure and avoid those bad possibilities."
"Oh..." Hilna was stunned for a moment, feeling that this answer was a bit unexpected.
In her heart, she actually longed for a holy marriage.
But the groom in front of him didn't seem happy.
Hilna organized her vocabulary and said: "Teacher, in fact, you don't have to be so resistant to love and marriage... Don't talk so early. Maybe you can meet someone who understands you, understands you, and is wholeheartedly Here’s the girl who loves you.”
But after all, Ciel had experience before time travel, and he no longer had so many naive expectations.
He gave a pessimistic answer: "Maybe, but it's too ethereal. Besides, no matter how dear you are before marriage, once you get married, you will become numb as time goes by."
"Teacher, no matter what you think, anyway, I think that as long as you don't give up, you can always meet the right person, and love and marriage will be a beautiful thing." Hilna continued: "I am particularly eager to marry A good man who can protect me and take special care of me.
"Although I will definitely not be able to get married publicly when I become a clergyman of the Holy See, I still hope to have a secret partner who can be with me in the dead of night after I have finished my official duties for the day, said mass, and preached everywhere. Chat with me, play with me... I also want to give birth to his child... if possible.
"Teacher, I have grown up too, and I also long for a lover."
After saying that, she widened her gentle blue eyes and looked at Charles seriously, expecting his answer.
Charles looked into the girl's beautiful eyes and did not answer her words.
"It's getting late, it's time to go home." He replied vaguely: "Maybe your wish can come true. But as a clergyman, you should not long for a secret lover. Even if you have emotional needs, You have to control it as much as possible, for the sake of your future."
"All right……"
Seeing that the teacher did not give her the answer she hoped for, Sirna was a little disappointed.
She looked at the teacher who was walking slowly forward with a heavy sword on his back. She was a little confused, but she quickly cheered up.
"...In short, no matter what you say, teacher, I will never let you have close contact with Miss Katrin again. That woman is ignorant and obviously has a crush on you, teacher. If she falls in love with Charles, Teacher, your Majesty then favors her and forces you to marry her, so how can you refuse, teacher?"
"What are you talking about? Why did Your Majesty the Pope force me to marry Catherine?" Charles felt that Catherine was thinking wildly: "Catherine is in poor health, her organs are failing, and her life span is limited... His Majesty also said that Carter Lin may die at any time. In her condition, there is no way she can talk about marriage."
But Sirna was still very vigilant: "What if Mian Mian has great supernatural powers and cures her? She was originally mute. She could speak only a few months after meeting you, teacher, and she is still shouting around you every day." 'Lord Charles', 'Lord Charles', that voice is so sweet... tsk... Also, she is so old, and she is still like a big baby, pestering you to tell her stories... ugh... it's really Don’t be ashamed.”
Of course, if Ciel did this to him, then he would definitely not be ashamed.
"You kid, think more about your homework and review your lessons if you have nothing else to do. Don't think about these messy things."
Charles really had nothing to do with her: "Anyway, next week, when my vacation is over, I have to go to the south to perform official duties. There are several free city-states in the south that are short of manpower, and your Majesty will definitely send me there. By then, I will also You should feel relieved that you can’t see Katrin anymore. Take good care of yourself and put your energy into your studies.”
"I understand, teacher..." A hint of helplessness flashed in Hilna's beautiful blue eyes.
Her teacher still thinks she is a naughty child.
