The female devils I saved came to my door

"We have never known Your Majesty's attitude, so we can't say much. But since Your Majesty has now made it clear that 'private affairs cannot be put before official business and morality', we are relieved. You will definitely handle the next matter impartially. of."

As he said that, the compassionate bishop showed a rather terrifying smile: "There is someone who I would like to see Miss Sirna next to you and the Knight of Charles."

"..." Charles didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned himself and Hilna.

But he felt bad, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Actually, my knights captured the red-haired witch just north of Glory City, less than a few dozen miles away."

As soon as these words came out, all the bishops were stunned.

"I'm not lying. She is indeed a red-haired witch. Moreover, we have already interrogated her and confirmed her identity - her name is Lovna, she is a student of Knight Charles and the sister of Bishop Sirna."

As the merciful bishop spoke, he threw a picture book from his pocket and threw it in front of the throne of St. Ann IV: "This is what we found from her. This is conclusive evidence - proved, This girl made a contract with a devil, and she is the culprit of all this, the red-haired witch who has instigated countless riots and disasters everywhere."

The picture book was only the size of a palm, but after it was thrown to the ground, it immediately became larger than an adult's arm span.

On the cover of this picture book, there is a picture of a beautiful red-haired girl with a large title "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna".

In the corner of the picture book, there is also a line of small words written: "Lovna's gift to Teacher Charles".

"This is the evidence." The bishop smiled grimly.

----------------******-----------------

In the Lovnaniya Palace, in the exhibition hall, looking at the "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" on display as the most precious exhibit, Ciel felt mixed emotions in his heart.

"That's how I received this gift." Charles smiled bitterly at Wuming: "I don't even remember what I was thinking at that time - I really didn't expect to meet Luovna again like this."

84. Provoked the king

"Then what? Sir Charles, Miss Lovna was arrested?" After hearing this, Wuming was completely immersed in the story and couldn't help but worry: "How was she arrested?"

"While Lovna was traveling from the northern mountains to the south, she also knew that her red hair would attract attention. She covered her head with a scarf very low-key.

"After arriving in Glory City, it was difficult for her to enter the city as an ordinary person, so she kept wandering around the parishes outside the city, waiting for opportunities... hoping that one day she could sneak into the city with the believers to find me.

"But the old lady named Bishop Mercy was a competitor of the Pope in the past. She was senior and had a high status. She was from a long-established noble family who could have a private guard in Glory City. The parish farm where Lovna stayed was her family property. When Lovna was staying at a hotel near the farm, she was identified by a knight who had seen the 'red-haired witch' instigating a riot.

"After she discovered that her residence was surrounded by knights, she tried to escape, but the breakout failed. After being captured, the Bishop of Mercy happened to be resting in her manor. She was good at torture and proficient in a variety of high-level mind-catching spells. She interrogated Lovna, I learned that she was the red-haired witch, and also learned about her deal with the devil, and that she was my student and Sirna's sister.

“Bishop of Mercy was ecstatic, knowing that this girl, who was related to both Hilna and me, would be a useful tool.

"So, she threw out the "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" that she had searched out at the council, and used this as an excuse to attack. She hoped to identify Hilna and me as being related to the red-haired witch. Heresy, thereby undermining the authority of St. Ann IV.”

Wuming felt his lips dry for a while: "Miss Lovna's experience was a bit tragic - but, Lord Charles, you should have rescued her, right?"

"It was indeed rescued, but it took a lot of effort." Charles smiled bitterly: "After all, what Lovna did is unreasonable."

Her so-called righteous deeds of 'saving the oppressed civilians' and 'helping the lower-class residents fight against the rulers' are now regarded in the history books of East Ipoli as the thunder that was caused by the great saint to disperse the dark clouds, and as the early uprising. Failure is necessary trial and error, and it is the foundation for future hegemony.

But to the people of the world, especially the Holy See and local lords, this girl was the source of abhorrent riots.

To rescue Lovna would basically mean making enemies of the nobles and lords of most of the continent.

"Moreover, Lovna's early nonsense was indeed too naive. She did sign a contract with the devil, and it was indeed her recklessness, ignorance and impulsiveness that caused many unnecessary riots and meaningless sacrifices. These are stains that cannot be washed away..."

While Charles was speaking to Wuming, suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Who?"

Charles turned around and saw a middle-aged man with dark hair, dark pupils, and a mustache.

This man was wearing a military uniform and had a straight waist. He seemed to be a soldier.Behind him were two teenage children, a boy and a girl, and a woman who was elegant and elegant in regular clothes, but looked a little embarrassed.Probably his wife and children.

This man may be a noble officer with royal blood.

The middle-aged man looked at Charles with a very unkind look: "Sir, first of all, I have to apologize for eavesdropping on the conversation between you and your female companion, but I clearly heard your big words: you just seemed to have mentioned our The great founding empress, and... she bluntly accused her of being 'childish and naive'? Sir, do you know what these words mean?"

After Wuming heard these threatening remarks, she reflexively tried to stop her in front of Ciel, but Ciel held her shoulder.

"Everyone has to grow up, and Queen Lovna is no exception. I am sure of her later achievements, but what she did after she left Ipoli for the first time was too reckless. The old order in many areas is still stable. Forcibly using external force to cause disintegration will not only fail to restore order after chaos, but will instead lead to the resurgence of the old forces."

The middle-aged man obviously disagreed, and his beard was almost raised: "Are you trying to defend those corrupt nobles of the old era who were punished by the Queen?"

In the history of East Ipoli, after triggering numerous uprisings, Lovna was hated by the old forces led by the evil and corrupt Holy See. Therefore, she was arrested and imprisoned by the Holy See at that time, and suffered a lot of torture.But under the protection of angels, she remained firm-willed, extremely pious, and yearned for freedom, and finally escaped from the prison.

This period of suffering also became her precious wealth and an inspirational story that became a household name in the East Ipolitan Empire in later generations.

But Charles still shook his head: "Don't criticize, sir. I'm just objectively evaluating the past. In my opinion, any rule will decay, but no matter how decadent the order is, it is still order. To completely dismantle the order, there must be a more efficient and more efficient system. A just new order. Otherwise it will only lead to a counterattack by the old forces.

"Lovna... the Queen, during the initial uprising, blindly believed in the correctness of resistance, but did not think about how to shape a new order, so she triggered a counterattack, which led to her being persecuted by the Holy See and almost being executed. Burning at the stake. The area where she incited the riots also experienced a long period of turmoil and twists and turns.

"Moreover, even after she decided to correct herself, the Ipoli Empire she led was still full of aggression, which also caused great trouble for the subsequent emperors to unite various places..."

After hearing these words, the middle-aged man's eyes changed.

If an ordinary person said these treasonous words in the palace exhibition and pointed out the great achievements of the founding empress, he would call the commissioner of the Ministry of Interior and let him taste the full range of health care in the interrogation room and receive ideological influence.

However, when facing this special guy, the middle-aged man will instinctively feel... calm and patient.

It seemed that his anger slowly disappeared with his calm narration.

The Ciel in front of him gave him a strange sense of familiarity. He was unable to get angry in front of this person, as if he was being suppressed.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes: "From what you said, are you from West Ipoli?"

"No."

"...What's your name? Are your black hair and black eyes a natural characteristic of you? Where were you born? Do you have royal blood?" the other party asked quickly.

Ciel: "My full name is Ether Monroe. Maybe I am related to the royal family. I was born with black hair and black eyes, but I am not a noble."

He did not answer the question of where he was from.

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded: "Mr. Monroe, I don't agree with your point of view, but I appreciate your courage to speak nonsense in the palace. Goodbye."

"See you."

The two of them saluted each other, and then each took their partner and left.

The middle-aged man's wife was a little embarrassed and complained to her husband.But the middle-aged man's son and daughter were very curious and still couldn't forget the talkative "Mr. Monroe."

"Father, that Mr. Monroe looks like the portrait of his ancestor." The middle-aged man's son couldn't help but whisper something more.

"It's quite similar." My daughter also echoed: "When I first saw it, I thought my ancestors had appeared."

"...There is some resemblance, no, it's just too similar." The middle-aged man said with a sullen face, "Let the Ministry of the Interior check it out later."

On the other side, Xia Er also took Wuming and hurriedly left the exhibition venue.

He walked quickly at first, then almost ran, and in the end he was almost flying off the ground. He ran out of the palace and ran along the Prime Minister's Avenue to their temporary residence.

"Master Charles, why are you walking in such a hurry?" Although Wuming could keep up with him, he felt that he was simply too hasty now.

"Hurry home and hide." Charles' steps were a little impatient: "...I was a little excited just now. I said some things that I shouldn't have said. I guess it will attract attention - the guy who was talking to us just now should It’s not easy to mess with, he’s probably going to send people to track us down. But don’t be afraid, go home, you’ll be safe when you get home.”

When he left the exhibition venue in the Imperial City, the eyes of Queen Lovna's portraits and sculptures seemed to flash, as if they were real eyes, reflecting Ciel's figure.

At this moment, the red-haired girl in the distance, Queen Lovna, who had just been sharply criticized by Ciel, also received a revelation.

She has been searching for Ciel's residence for a long time, and has been tracking Ciel's possible destination after teleportation.

Now, she was just realizing what was happening.

"Oh... Teacher Charles, you are actually on my territory."

After being convinced, she had calmed down the restlessness in her heart and was no longer so anxious.

After Charles left, she did not destroy the castle he built on the island - on the contrary, she cleaned the castle, wore Charles's clothes, and slept on his bed.

The long-lost warmth made her feel much better.

Even the confused maids in the castle received rewards and were sent away by this red-haired woman who appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be "the beloved of Charles's old friend".

Lovna breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and flew into the sky towards the thousand-year capital that she had established - Lovnania.

85. Teachers and students about to reunite

Just like every powerful empire, East Ipoli has ruled the mainland for thousands of years. Of course, it has accumulated not only the wealth and prosperity on the surface, but also countless complex bureaucracies-including many secret services. .

These loyal dogs who serve the royal family are currently carefully searching for traces of "Mr. Ether Monroe" in the capital of the empire.

This mysterious Mr. Monroe left a deep impression on the king and his family who paid a private visit incognito. The king suspected that this person was a foreign spy or a high-level mage with ulterior motives, so he named him to find out his background.

When this "Monroe", also known as Charles, quickly left the palace with Wuming, the plainclothes from the Ministry of Interior who followed him were already searching the entire street.

These plainclothes were very efficient. As soon as they received the order, they quickly blocked all the important intersections outside the imperial city, preparing to catch turtles in a jar.

Wuming also noticed it: "Lord Charles, we seem to be being followed."

"I know……"

Charles looked around for a while, and his senses told him that he was surrounded by unkind enemies.

If you want to run, I'm afraid you'll have to rely on your fists.However, beating up the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside the imperial city of the East Ipolitan Empire - this was really too arrogant.

If people are killed or injured, more trouble may occur.

Ciel hesitated, but at this critical moment, he heard the soft voice of a familiar blue-haired girl, as if it was attached to his ears, reminding him.

"Go to the alley on the right and turn left."

He understood and immediately turned right, and indeed easily avoided several agents.

"Run over quickly and don't stop." She continued.

Ciel continued to do so.

After giving a few instructions, he returned to the door of his residence at No. 16 Prime Minister Avenue.

When he, Charles, pushed open the door, pulled Wuming into the house, and locked the door, the policemen and plainclothes people gathered outside the door automatically ignored the villa and did not bother them again.

Ciel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wuming was surprised that Charles was so familiar with the surrounding terrain and avoided those pursuits.But she wanted to know more who these stalkers who suddenly appeared were: "Lord Charles, these people who are following us, and the middle-aged people who talked to you in the imperial city..."

"Probably some of the royal relatives are my descendants." Charles turned around and said, "I can't help it. After seeing the pile of exhibits today, I had a lot of emotions. I spoke too loudly and attracted attention - I am a commoner. , criticizing the Founding Queen at a royal exhibition is indeed a bit suicidal. But don’t worry, as long as we stay at home, they can’t find us. Let’s eat first.”

Through the window next to the main entrance, Wuming saw the guards and plainclothes people looking around on the street, and was very worried: "If they don't leave, are we safe? Won't they come and search our new home?"

"Don't worry, someone will take care of these troubles." Charles took off his coat nonchalantly, hung it on the hanger, turned around and told Wuming: "We just need to live in peace. There is no shortage of anything here."

Although Wuming trusted Ciel unconditionally, he still felt uncomfortable.

She originally had a good impression of the city of Lovnaniya.

These days, she accompanied Charles to see the lively float parade, enjoyed the opera at the elegant opera house, visited the lively night market, and listened to Charles telling the story of Empress Lovna's childhood... She also had a fondness for this place. I have a good impression and think this place is very interesting.

If I could live and settle down here in the future, I would be very happy.

Compared with the castle on that remote island, it will be another special life experience.

But after the appearance of these unkind-looking guards and sneaky plainclothes men, she felt that this city might not be so beautiful.There will still be dark clouds that suddenly gather and shroud their lives.

Charles noticed her worries and explained: "Wu Ming, after all, the East Ipoli Empire is a millennium empire. After so many storms and continuing to this day, there must be many violent agencies and spy agencies. The surrounding area of ​​the imperial city is heavily guarded. There are many secret agents. It is normal for me, a guy whose identity is unknown and who is still talking nonsense in the palace, to be targeted. Don’t mind it. Occasional twists and turns are also part of life.”

"...I'm still a little worried." Wuming said hesitantly: "You also said that Miss Lovna has been living until now and has been secretly controlling her empire. If we attract the attention of the government and are targeted, Then will Miss Lovna also notice us and follow the clues to find us?"

"...Maybe."

"Then, Master Charles, are you ready to face her? Although I don't know why she later developed such a strong love for you, but from the story you told, I can vaguely feel that Yes, she really respects you and you love her very much. But I also feel that you always avoid feelings with her. How do you plan to deal with her when I see you again? "

Wuming always had a keen intuition when it came to emotions. Faced with her worried and worried eyes, Charles didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Lord Charles, do you think Miss Lovna will come to your door?" Wuming asked again.

"……Maybe."

No, not should, but definitely.

Lovna will always find him.

This was clear from the moment Ciel chose to teleport to Lovnania.

That girl who is lively and smart, but sensitive and worried will always find him, bringing surprises to his life, making him depressed and anxious, and making his destiny full of ups and downs.

She was part of Ciel's life.

The "Great Saint Lovna" is indeed on her way.

---------------****---------------

In fact, thousands of years ago, when the saint Lovna was captured and imprisoned by the cardinal as a witch, Ciel's mood was even worse.
