After slowly walking downstairs, Wuming saw that the lights in the study had been turned off, and Charles must have fallen asleep.He thought Wuming and Luovna wouldn't chat for too long, so he made some desserts, made some tea, and put them on the dining table before going to sleep.He also left a note, entrusting Wuming to send some to Lovna to satisfy their hunger at night.
However, the two female companions had been chatting for too long. It was almost past midnight, the tea had cooled down, and the cream for the dessert had melted a little.
Next to the dining table, there was a newspaper that Charles had not had time to put away. In the newspaper, there were recent news about the East Ipolitan Empire. It seemed that another conflict had broken out with some neighboring countries, and the king issued a strong statement.It seems that this thousand-year empire is not so peaceful now.
I don’t know what Charles thought when he saw this news.
Charles...
Nameless, she sat at the dining table, holding the newspaper, trying to figure out what Charles was thinking, hoping that she could understand Charles, know his concerns and worries, and truly understand this man who seemed gentle and considerate, but didn't want to show his sincerity. people.
She wanted to understand Ciel and really help him.
It was already late at night, both Lovna and Charles should have gone to sleep, leaving Wuming alone still thinking hard.
Thousands of years ago, what made Ciel leave his beloved student and abandon his child?The truth of history has been buried, and even in the official history, the existence of the Ciel has been erased.Who else knows those truths besides Ciel himself?Miss Lovna didn’t even know the reason. As an outsider, who should she ask?
"Maybe you can ask me."
A sweet voice as soft as velvet came from the darkness.
Wuming reacted immediately to this sudden intruder.
She turned around quickly, and then, through the moonlight outside the window, she saw the strange intruder clearly.
This is a blue-haired beauty wearing a long black dress and sitting on the sofa.
A mature woman with a very different temperament from Lovna and a unique charm.The close-fitting dark dress completely blended into the dark environment, highlighting her cool and noble temperament.Her ice-blue pupils shimmered dimly in the darkness, as if she had the power to see into people's hearts.
She was looking at Wuming with a half-smile.
"Who are you -" When she was about to ask in a sharp voice, the blue-haired woman put her index finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture. Wuming suddenly became silent and could not make a sound.
"Keep your voice down, don't wake up Teacher Charles and my idiot sister." She said seriously: "They are sleeping."
"...You, you are Sirna?!" Wuming then realized her identity.
…………
She had never seen the founding empress of the West Ipoli Empire in the past, and she never expected that this person would suddenly break into her house in the middle of the night in the capital of the East Ipoli Empire and scare her like a female ghost.
"Don't make such a fuss, we have met before. Guess who recommended this house to Charles, and who rented it to you?"
Sirna changed her voice, and it was the voice of the old woman who recommended houses to Charles before.
"That old woman turned out to be you!" Wuming's previous doubts were finally solved: "So, you have been with us for a long time?"
"Yes." Sirna nodded: "I have been following you since you first arrived in Lovnaniya."
The queen looked at the uneasy Wu Ming in front of her and snapped her fingers. The cold tea on the table began to steam again, and the teapot automatically poured two cups of tea into their hands.
The queen took a sip of tea and signaled Wuming not to be restrained: "Don't worry, I'm different from my silly sister Lovna. I won't stab you with a knife when I see you."
This joke made Wuming relax a little.Seeing that the other party was not hostile and had a kind attitude, she finally had the courage to ask a question:
"...Master Charles, has he recognized you before?"
"Teacher, he must have recognized me."
Nameless: "Then why don't you recognize him? You don't hate Lord Charles like Miss Lovna, right?"
"How is it possible? How could I resent the teacher... Moreover, do you think Lovna will hate Ciel? She goes into heat just by smelling the teacher's scent."
Sirna snorted coldly: "She even used the teacher's clothes as a treasure to hold her for the night. How long do you think she can endure this anger? In a few days, she will crawl back to Teacher Charles's bed and continue I acted coquettishly and begged for pleasure with my teacher.”
It can be heard that the queen looks down on her sister. In her eyes, Lovna is just a sneaky cat who is greedy for Ciel.
Wuming: "Isn't this a bit too much..."
"Forget it, let's not mention her... I don't recognize the teacher because I feel sorry for the teacher. I have done serious wrong things in the past because of selfishness and possessiveness. I am afraid that the teacher will blame me, and I have no face to face it. he."
Speaking of this, the queen's eyes were a little lonely: "I want Lovna to meet with the teacher first and confirm the teacher's true thoughts through her. If the teacher really doesn't care about the past, I will formally meet with the teacher again - but , it seems that Teacher Charles hasn’t let go yet.”
"What have you done to regret Sir Charles?" Wuming was a little surprised: "Master Charles told me your story. When he mentioned you, he never showed any dissatisfaction. He always praised you. His most talented student. Miss Lovna also did stupid things in the past, but now she has recognized Lord Charles. Now she is just having some minor conflicts, which will be reconciled sooner or later. Why don't you... "
"No, no, no, Lovna and I are different. Lovna has always been a silly girl. Even if she does something stupid, Teacher Charles will not hold a grudge. But I am the bad person who really disappointed the teacher. I I failed my teacher for more than ten years of training and was blinded by ambition and desire... Even if Teacher Charles doesn't comment on my fault on the surface, I'm not sure what he thinks in his heart..."
Sirna explained with a wry smile: "When you visited the imperial mausoleum a few days ago, I was also watching. At that time, Teacher Charles was unwilling to give Lovna an answer, and I could tell. The teacher was sure It’s very confusing. If I appear in front of the teacher again at this time, even if the teacher is willing to accept me on the surface, he will feel uncomfortable... I don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable, so I can only avoid it. "
"...Miss Sirna, what wrong did you do? It's been 1000 years, and you still feel so guilty?"
Facing the nameless question, Sirna lowered her head and thought for a few seconds.
Wuming thought she would refuse to answer, but after hesitation, Sirna still spoke.
"Nameless, not only will Ciel not tell you these things, I'm afraid Lovna won't tell you either - you know, the empire I rule is also ruled by descendants of Ciel's blood."
"Well... Sir Charles mentioned that the Western Ipoli Empire is also ruled by his descendants."
"Yes... that demon. There were a total of fourteen children created with Ciel's blood and soul. Seven of them were taken to Ipoli by the demon, adopted by Lovna, and finally recognized Ciel. You We all know it. In fact, before this, there were seven more who were captured by Monroe and brought to the Holy See.
"This matter was kept hidden from Mr. Charles. He didn't find out until a long time later that there were fourteen children."
"Those seven children fell into the hands of the then Pope, and later fell into my hands... These children did not enjoy father's love or mother's love. Due to ambition and greed, I took advantage of them and deprived them of their power. Used them as tools...and nearly destroyed half a continent."
125.The Queen’s Pain
Sirna, the founding empress of the Western Ipolitan Empire, the successor of the orthodox Eternal Holy Church, the master of sacred magic...
This great queen with numerous honorable titles is simply the epitome of success.
Her life in her youth was extremely smooth - after arriving in Glory City, her super-high talent for magic immediately alarmed the entire church. She was recruited by the Holy See on the spot and became a nominal disciple of the Sword Master; after two years of further study in the seminary, He became a disciple of the Pope again; in his early 20s, he took office as a bishop. Although he was implicated in the red-haired witch incident, he recovered not long after and entered the College of Cardinals before he was 30 years old...
This glorious life experience will make even those princes and nobles of noble birth feel envious.
When she was 29 years old, she was already the well-known number two figure in the Holy See.
Everyone knows that she will definitely become the pope in the future and take over this huge religious empire.
Whenever this young and beautiful cardinal, accompanied by St. Ann IV, walks in the grand and solemn main hall of the church, presides over various solemn and elegant ceremonies, and accepts worship and audience from distinguished believers from all over the world, people will be attracted by her charm. She was moved by the holy temperament from the inside out and regarded her as an angel on earth.
This angel has everything that ordinary people desire, status, reputation, respect, beauty, knowledge... except love.
Yes, except love.
This angel, who looks gentle and warm on the surface and is full of holy aura, has never cared about or loved anyone from beginning to end.Whether it's the flattering subordinates, the submissive colleagues, or the family members who have long been forgotten...she doesn't love them.
Except her teacher.
However, this person who really cared about her always slipped away from her at critical moments in her life, because of her own hesitation and hesitation, and also because of the turmoil and changes in the outside world.
She failed to reveal her feelings to the teacher in time, and because of the trouble caused by Lovna being bewitched by the devil, her beloved teacher and Katrin came together.
This time caused her great pain.
Finally, Ms. Catlin passed away, and Charles left the Holy See and ran to the east to find the "mysterious girl with whom he had a blood relationship."
Ciel is like a flying bird. After her fledgling has fully fledged, it no longer protects her, but flies away on its own.
She could only stay in Glory City without any interest, counting the days in vain, waiting for Ciel to come back.All the grand ceremonies, celebrations, gatherings and feasts in the eyes of others, without Charles's company, seemed to the young cardinal to be as difficult as torture without prison.
She wants the teacher to praise her, she wants the teacher to witness her honor, and she wants the teacher to be happy with her achievements...
The teacher is not young anymore, but he has always been so young, and he becomes more and more suitable when standing next to me.
He is still his guardian knight, and they should be together...
But their relationship always encounters so many setbacks.
"Teacher Charles will always come back." She thought like this: "When the teacher comes back... When he comes back, I will find a good opportunity to confess to the teacher."
If she had known earlier, she would not have helped the teacher make that prediction.
However, before Teacher Ciel left, Sirna also clearly sensed that not only in the far east, but also underground in the Holy See, there were seven beating hearts, which had a close blood tie with Ciel. This puzzled her.
What is there underground in Glory City?Are they the ruins of the old city buried in dust?Sewer channels that have long since collapsed?The underground network dug by heretics and evil spirits...
But no matter what, she had to find out without attracting attention.
So, in her busy schedule, she took some free time and asked her subordinates to organize a construction team. She also proposed at the cardinal meeting that she ask the Holy See to dredge the underground sewer system of Rongguang City to ensure that the city is clean in the future rainy season.
Although most bishops felt that this task was unnecessary, since it was Bishop Sirna's suggestion, it was approved at the cardinal meeting.
This team of skilled workers and mages found a 400-year-old sewer map of Rongguang City in the archives. They dug five or six meters underground in the east of the city and finally dug out a channel filled with silt.
The workers felt that there was no point in dredging this long-abandoned sewer.Glory City didn't have much water accumulation in the first place, but with Sirna's insistence, they still started work.
Their work took a long time because pumping out the silt was too troublesome.Gradually, Sirna stopped paying attention to their work progress and started busying herself with her own affairs.
As a cardinal, she had a heavy responsibility, especially at a time when the western part of the continent had just recovered from the war and the east was still in chaos.Every day, the College of Cardinals has countless issues to discuss.
During this time, she often heard some rumors from the east - near the Principality of Beztain, many wars involving tens of thousands of people broke out.
There are also rumors that the one who started the war was a red-haired witch who came back from the dead.
The witch became more difficult than before. Not only did she have a large army this time, she also used magic power to control a group of terrifying monsters, like overwhelming locusts, invading many wealthy countries.
There were even envoys from the Principality of Beztain who traveled thousands of miles to come to the Holy See, crying and begging for help.
Hilna didn't believe it at first, or she didn't want to believe it - she knew very well who the red-haired witch was.
She knew better that the so-called "red-haired witch" was just a silly girl who did something stupid under the temptation of the devil.
Her unlucky sister has now been driven back to Ipoli by her. How could this stupid sister with no talent have the ability to cause such trouble?
It can’t be Luovna’s, it definitely won’t be her.She should stay in her hometown and be a village woman... She can't cause trouble for herself anymore.He is the one who wants to become the pope, and he can no longer have the stain of Lovna.
It must be thugs and gangs with ulterior motives who are rebelling and causing trouble in the name of the red-haired witch - that must be it.
However, disturbing rumors continue to reach the Holy See.
Even in the solemn meeting of cardinals, the bishops were uneasily discussing the emerging power rising from the east.
There is already definite news - in the remote, wet and cold northeast, in the area known as Great Blacksend, those weak and small countries that were regarded as remote frontiers by the Holy See have been united under the operation of a certain strong woman. Rise up and begin to expand externally, conquering cities and territories.
The country that unified Great Hessende was called Ipoli.
"That place... seems to be the hometown of Her Majesty Saint-Silna!"
"Then, the so-called red-haired witch...could it be..."
All the cardinals knew that Sirna's sister was the red-haired witch who had an affair with the devil.
Most people also know that seven or eight years ago, the compassionate bishop who pointed out this point died under mysterious circumstances, and the red-haired witch who was executed in the end was probably a substitute... The eighth achievement is related to the Pope and Hilna.
It's just because the Pope has eliminated all opponents and Sirna is a promising future star, everyone tacitly pretends not to know.
Although Hilna did not express her position at the cardinal meeting and still sat in the seat pretending to be dignified without saying a word, St. Ann IV noticed that her palms clenching the armrests were trembling, so he found an excuse to interrupt. After hearing the speeches of the cardinals, the topic was suspended.
But Sirna knew in her heart that she never mentioned anything related to her hometown in front of others, let alone her family - in order to cover up this past incident.
"Never, never Lovna..."
However, after she returns to the mansion, she receives a letter from the Shire.
A letter came from the east and was delivered to Sirna through the creatures of the underworld as messengers.This letter was written by Charles when he first arrived in Ipoli.
In the letter, Charles described everything he saw: what he saw after arriving in the Principality of Beztan, and how Lovna led the Ipoli army to defeat the Beztan coalition army on the plain, which was far more numerous than him. of.
Moreover, in the letter, Ciel's tone was quite unpleasant.
"Silna, your sister has done a great job in her hometown. She stood up when the Great Hessend fell into banditry and saved her hometown from being oppressed by the gangsters. Without her, your family might have been invaded by Ipoli. of gangsters killed.
"I know you don't like your sister, but how could you hide it from me and deliberately intercept the letters I wrote to Lovna? And also disguise her handwriting to deceive me? She is also my student."
This was no less than a bolt from the blue for Hilna.
The two things she feared most: Lovna causing trouble for her, and Ciel becoming dissatisfied with her, happened at the same time.
126. A miracle comes
"Nameless, it's hard for me to describe to you my state at that time."
Speaking of the past, this quiet and elegant queen couldn't help but sigh: "Because...some of my thoughts at the time still make me feel extremely ashamed when I think about it now.
"After all, my future was almost ruined because of Lovna. Moreover, I also know that my sister has liked Teacher Charles since she was a child, and she even confessed to the teacher before me... All of this makes me resentful in my heart.
"Because of my hatred for Lovna, I not only intercepted the letter sent to her by the teacher, but also forged a letter from Lovna to deceive the teacher. In order to remove this sister who caused me trouble from my life disappear completely.
"But when faced with the questions in the teacher's letter, I resented that I hadn't done enough. I even thought, 'If Lovna died unexpectedly, if my hometown was directly captured by bandits and completely burned to the ground, then there would be no need for it at all. There's going to be all this trouble'."
Wuming listened to her self-analysis and didn't know how to answer the question.
