The female devils I saved came to my door

The former bishop of the western diocese of the Lorental Principality died suddenly and without explanation due to overwork and the chaos in the diocese.I am worried that no one will take this hot potato.

The cardinals of the Holy See Council agreed when they saw that Sirna insisted on being the victim.

Charles was also appointed as the guardian knight responsible for protecting the new bishop.

What Sirna had been waiting for finally came true.Her teacher Ciel became her own guardian.

At the bishop's appointment and dismissal ceremony, she wore a complicated and solemn bishop's robe, stretched out her white right arm with a red stone ring, and let Charles, who was half kneeling in front of her, kiss her ring, which represented her acceptance of the bishop. The knight's protection and allegiance.

Under the witness of the Holy Emblem, they jointly swore that they would go to their posts together with the expectations of the Holy See and His Majesty to manage the diocese for the Eternal Church.

Hilna, who had a rosy complexion, felt the warmth of Teacher Charles' lips on the back of her hand, and her heart was filled with excitement.

She really hoped that this was not just a pledge of allegiance from a guardian knight to a bishop, but a marriage contract in which a husband kissed his lover.

When the appointment and dismissal ceremony was over, she happily hugged Charles's right arm, like a newlywed wife who was about to set off for her honeymoon: "Teacher! We will set off tomorrow. You must protect me starting tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Charles agreed, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time - Hilna has grown very plump now, especially her extremely elastic chest, which is tightly pressed against his body, and her body temperature, even Even through a layer of robe, it felt a little too hot.

He thought it would be more appropriate to withdraw his arm, but Sirna probably wouldn't be willing to let him go just like that.

At this dilemma, Saint Ann IV came to his rescue.

"Hilna, please go back first. Charles, come here, I have something to entrust you with."

Sirna paused for a moment, but did not let go, as if she did not want to give up this opportunity to get close to Charles: "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to Teacher Charles? Can't I listen?"

"Some trivial matters involve confidentiality. It is really not appropriate for you to observe." Her kind face was rarely serious, and her tone was also harsh: "Hilna, you are also about to take office as the bishop of the other party. Maintain your dignity and don't Act like a child to your knight."

"Oh..." She let go of her hand angrily, stepped aside, apologized to Mian Mian and Ciel, and left slowly.

Ciel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the crown prince to the Pope's office, Saint Ann IV did not sit down.She first praised Charles for his hard work in traveling around in the past year and his contribution to working hard and without complaint.After some polite remarks, we got to the point.

"Char, do you still remember the riots in Vilan City? The red-haired witch who caused the riots appeared again in a count. She led a group of serfs to riot, burned the local count's castle, and hanged the count. Her two sons disappeared mysteriously. She is probably a high-level mage heretic and is very dangerous. In the future, if she appears again, the Holy See will organize knights to hunt her down. You must come back after receiving the order. Participate in the roundup.”

"Yes." Charles agreed.

"Also, don't be too doting on Sirna. If you always protect her and don't let her face difficulties on her own, she won't grow up. If you treat her too well, she will become overly dependent on you. .”

"understood."

"Finally... you have been busy for more than half a year. Katrin hasn't seen you for a long time. She misses you very much now. Go and see her."

"Uh... well."

Pushing open the door of the side room, this fragile woman with blond hair was lying sideways on a huge pillow and yawning just like the last time they met.

It wasn't until she saw Ciel that her lazy and tired eyes would shine with excitement.

"Lord Charles, long time no see." This time, after she stood up, she did not rush up to hug him like a child, but curtsied to Charles's skirt: "I have always hoped to see you again, but St. Ann Grandma said that you are very busy, so I haven’t been able to see you..."

In these months, she has learned to read and digit, and has also mastered a lot of etiquette. She is very different from the stupid state when they first met two years ago. Now she is a truly smart and smart woman.

This also made Ciel somewhat relieved.

Charles returned her greeting and replied: "Yes, there is a plague in the outside world right now, and everything is in chaos. I really can't spare the time to see you. How is your health now? Have the curses been resolved?"

"Not yet." She smiled and shook her head: "According to Grandma Saint An, these curses on me are innate and can only be suppressed but not resolved. I am destined not to live to be 40 years old."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's okay, I'm already very happy. When I was born, I was loved and cared for by my father and Grandma Saint Ann, and I spent my childhood safely. I regained my sanity after meeting you. I can be in the warm and bright Holy See. Life. When so many people are suffering from plague, riots and hunger, I can enjoy the warmth given to me by people including you, Lord Ciel. I am very lucky."

When she said this, a sincere smile appeared on her face: "Since Father God has arranged such a perfect life for me, it is appropriate to shorten my life span a little. I am very grateful to you who have brought me happiness. , and enjoying my destiny.”

This girl, who was originally dull and silly, always showed her wisdom and rationality at unexpected moments, making Ciel always unable to see through her.

"...Katelin, you are very smart." He sighed with emotion: "I am not as open-minded as you."

"Mr. Charles is different from me. You always think a lot and have to take on a lot of responsibilities, so you can't relax." Katrin said: "I can see that you are very anxious now, and you seem to be distracted by many things. Troubled, huh?”

She was right.

Whether it's the pressure of running around to help the Holy See due to the plague that is ravaging the continent; or the self-blame of having to kill many civilians in order to take the overall situation into consideration; or the confusion that Lovna has no where to go now, and there is still little information; or the worry about Sirna. In the future, I hope she will spend her life safely, but also long for her to become the future queen...

These things put him under a lot of pressure.

Since coming to the world of Arran, people who have a good relationship with him, whether it is Sirna, His Majesty the Pope, Lovna, Monroe, colleagues in the Holy See, residents of Ipoli... everyone seems to be looking forward to Ciel Quite high.

Although he himself felt that he was not worthy of so much expectation.

Since time traveling, he has never truly rested leisurely.

Seeing that Charles didn't answer, Catlin hesitated and continued: "If you really feel tired, maybe you can tell Grandma St. Ann and let yourself have a good rest. Just explain sincerely that you are tired and want to rest." After a while, no one will blame you."

Being able to say such things proves that Katrin is still the innocent and innocent Katrin.

"It's okay, Katrin, thank you." He didn't want to dwell on this issue: "I'm not that fragile... But, I have to leave Glory City soon. As a guardian knight, I have to accompany my students, who you see The one I met, Sirna, went to the principality in the north to become a bishop. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see each other again in the future."

"Oh..." She looked a little disappointed: "Then how long will you have to leave?"

"It will take a few years, but I will still have the opportunity to come back and see you in the meantime."

"How many years..." she thought thoughtfully.

She is only two or three years younger than Ciel, and both of them are quite old.

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't help you, Sir Charles." She smiled bitterly: "If my body was not so weak, it would be great if I could help you."

When parting, she finally got close to Charles, gave him a strong hug, wished him a safe journey, and then reluctantly waved goodbye.

Ciel did feel a lot more relaxed when he was with her.It seemed that only when facing Katrin could he empty his mind and forget about the pressure that followed him.

But the comfort Katrin gave him was short-lived.

After returning to his residence, he still had to be Sirna's dedicated teacher and guardian knight.He will inevitably face more and more challenges in the future and will not be able to get a moment's rest.

Because this is the responsibility he was chosen to come into this world.

75.Bishop Sirna

Sirna is a born ruler.

Although Sirna would try to be innocent and gentle when she was next to Charles, and would be like an ignorant young man in love, longing for his protection and care, but when she really got serious, what she showed His ability is sure to impress everyone.

After all, she is the most gifted saint in the history of the church.

Her experience as a bishop in the western diocese of Lorentalan Principality was the beginning of her rise.

The western part of the Lorentalan Principality was once a densely populated plain, where more than [-]% of the population of the principality was gathered, which was larger than the population of more than [-] Ipolis. Any barony was richer than Ipoli.

In the past, being able to be a bishop here would have been a good job, and you would beg for people everywhere, but you would never get them.But with the outbreak of plague, the situation here quickly deteriorated.

The church's previous selective rescue did not improve the situation here.Many civilians who had not received help, deliberately instigated by their lords, were resentful of the Holy See.

Because the plague delayed farming and caused local food shortages, thieves and robbers were everywhere.Lords from all over the country maintained their defenses in their manors and castle walls.A large number of victims gathered around the monastery and church.

The land that was once affiliated with the church has been seriously abandoned due to the chaos of the current situation, and no one has cultivated it for a long time.

The monks in the monastery are all mentally stressed, and many have broken their vows under heavy pressure and committed crimes such as drinking, gluttony, and theft...

The situation is quite confusing.

In this terrible situation, Sirna, escorted by Charles and other knights, entered the large monastery here and officially announced her appointment under the witness of a group of priests.

She spent a day memorizing the faces and names of all the monks and nuns in the monastery, and the information of all the secular lords in the diocese.

After briefly making some personnel appointments and removals, she set out, accompanied by Ciel, to inspect the lands surrounding the great monastery.

She went there in a carriage to pay homage to those lords who had not been rescued during the plague because they were not favored by the Holy See.

Some people who were motivated by ill-intentioned people blocked the noise on Sirna's way to the town and threw stones at her.But after all, she has profound magic, and with just one look, her powerful mental spells can make a frantic civilian collapse with foam at the mouth.

She would personally go to those filthy rural hospitals, display powerful blessing spells, cure the diseases of those who suffered from illness, and in the light of magic, tidy up the old and dilapidated houses to look brand new.

She will also go to the surrounding abandoned farmland and activate complex elemental magic, so that the deep-rooted weeds will be burned by the fire, and the grains will sprout from the fields again under the moisture of the rain.Encourage those farmers who have abandoned their fields to come back to farm.

…………

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Holy See, most ignorant people believe that the clergy of the Holy See do not use dangerous magic, but sacred magic (in fact, there is no essential difference between the two).

Therefore, after the new girl bishop showed "miracles" everywhere, the common people expressed their admiration.The previously noisy victims also settled down around the large monastery where she was located.

These people obeyed the management of the priests appointed by Sirna and resumed production.

But just controlling these civilians is not enough. If you want to secure your position, you still have to find a way to deal with the lords whose territories are intertwined and their forces are entangled.

It is impossible to bluff these people just by showing some magic tricks.

To gain their approval, it still takes a long series of contacts and social interactions.

Just like how Ciel taught Silna in Ipoly.

With the help of many high-level numerology spells she mastered, she could calmly see whether those nobles had good intentions or malice toward her, whether they despised or valued her, hated or loved her.

She can use gorgeous embellishments and metaphors to tell the other party's family history, praise the great achievements of the nobles, and win the other party's favor; she can also use dazzling and surprising spells to win the attention of guests at social banquets. , let the guest of honor enjoy the banquet.

She also had to use the various knowledge she had learned in the seminary to engage in lengthy debates with the respected scholars and mages under the Jazz in public.Use your knowledge and talents to gain their respect and support.

She could also see the weaknesses and fears of those nobles from the smallest movements of others: unmistakable gestures, careless eyes, and uneasy expressions.Use a variety of soft and hard words to force the other party to give in or obey.

Privately, Hilna turned a blind eye to some exchanges of interests that were not on the table, such as the cashier of land, the transfer of tenant farmers, the sale of serfs... some black or gray transactions.

Of course, she has not encountered danger.

There were nobles who were quite dissatisfied with the Holy See, and they jointly sent a team of assassins composed of mages to try to set fire to the mansion where Sirna and Charles lived in the middle of the night; there were also some who were dissatisfied with Sirna's harsh royal methods. , the nun who wanted to poison the food to murder her; and the viscount who wanted to attract bandits to attack the monastery under the pretext of a land dispute and took the opportunity to pick up the leaks...

But in front of a genius who is proficient in numerology and magic, all the conspiracies of these troublemakers become children's jokes.

In the end, without exception, all of them were noticed by Sirna and quietly dealt with by Charles.

In just over half a year, she established a firm foothold in this parish, repaired relations with the feuding lords around her, organized serfs and farmers to resume production, and even took the time to build a school to house orphans caused by the plague, specializing in training missionary.

By the end of her one-year term, the diocese she controlled had fully recovered from the bad effects of the plague and returned to normalcy.

The common people of the parish still bask in the glory of the Heavenly Father, and the lords still maintain awe of the Holy See.The local church even had more theological students, land, and wealth.

She achieved her goals with ease and fulfilled her bishop's responsibilities very competently.Saint Ann IV himself wrote a letter of commendation to her, praising her for living up to his expectations.

However, Sirna did it too easily.

Looking at what she had accomplished simply, Hilna gradually felt that there was no essential difference between most people.

Whether it is the rough and arrogant rural landowners in Ipoli, or these aristocratic vassals who are close to the Holy See and pride themselves on their nobility;

Whether they are priests who claim to be knowledgeable or mages who have traveled far and wide;

Whether it is those servants who are flattering and ridiculous but think they are loyal and reliable, or the poor people in the fields who are sad and unable to eat all year round;

Regardless of their background, experience, or wealth, they are essentially a group of short-sighted trash who pursue their own interests.They will be arrogant and respectful to her because of their own interests, and they will also commit ridiculous crimes because of their short-sightedness.

They are all stupid, easy to take advantage of, and unaware of their own stupidity.

As long as you grasp their weaknesses, as long as you have insight into their thoughts, as long as you find out their desires, you can easily manipulate them.

"They, all of them, are inferior to me. I am the best ruler."

So, Hilna, who was thinking like this, gradually became a little tired.

Although she is younger than many people around her, she looks more like an adult surrounded by children.

She can easily tell the thoughts and expectations of everyone around her.Those people always showed a flattering expression towards him, looking up at her with humble eyes that asked for her.

The attitudes of these people both pleased and disgusted her.

At this time, only Ciel's company could make her feel better.

After all, Ciel was the only person who treated her unconditionally since she was born, could give her everything she wanted, and had no intention of taking advantage of her.

Ever since Ciel appeared in her life when she was six or seven years old, this teacher had always taken great care of her.

He is always so reliable, so powerful, so omnipotent.

Unfortunately, even though he became her guardian knight, Ciel could not always be by her side.

For more than half a year, Teacher Charles has still not been able to rest for a moment.Not only must he serve as her guardian knight and be responsible for training the armed monks and low-level knights who guard the monastery, but he must also prepare for the safety of Sirna in various places in the diocese, take the initiative to kill various bandits and bandits, and drive away the mob...

Moreover, just helping Sirna solve the troubles in the diocese is not enough.Charles is also called up every few months to participate in the "Suppression of the Red-Haired Witch" organized by the Holy See.

Because, the red-haired witch who caused a riot in Weilan City also appeared in other areas.

She appeared quietly in various places, constantly causing riots, leading residents everywhere to hang lords, kill princes, and start civil wars.
