"Well, in fact, you don't need to go to this point, you just need to make a statement... Forget it, that's not bad."

"But then there's the second thing."

A hint of anxiety flashed across Ingrid's face.

"Our Majesty seems to have a new idea of ​​appointing you. This cannot be said to be a good sign, because it does not match the usual tacit agreement."

"But it's not easy for us to refuse His Majesty—after all, he didn't mean to make things difficult for you."

"I mean, you and Margaret are on good terms. When the appointment comes, you may find a reason to refuse—or at least delay some time so that we can communicate with Margaret together."

"Anyway, I don't want your friendship to be affected by something like this."

With embarrassment and imperceptible ambivalence, Ingrid finished speaking.

It seemed that she felt that it was irresponsible for her to push this question to Serena, and her face was a little red.

"Of course I will, Lord Ingrid."

Serena nodded.

Of course she would, that's her cutie!

Chapter 20 A Simple Task

"Ms. Serena, I have a simple matter here, and I need your help."

When facing Tempus again, Serena found that this guy was a little more polite to herself.

Of course, she would not think that it was her amazing charm that made this ruthless political machine fall in love.

On the contrary, she knew very well that it was just because her use value was higher.

Honestly, it's pretty annoying.

Her goal has never been to be famous, to be rich and famous.

Besides, she used to be a demon king anyway, and she was also a king, and she had to rack her brains all day long to deal with this kind of guy, no matter how hard she thought about it.

However, at least at this moment, she can only put on a business smile and answer with a sincere voice:

"Always at your command, Your Majesty."

Tempus showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, and then carefully took out a one-foot-square box inlaid with exquisite gemstones from the drawer, and placed it in front of Serena.

"This is a gift. I need it to appear in front of the barbarian king and become a symbol of friendship between the two parties."

"But there is a small problem here - only the power of God can make it show its true value."

"And the more divine power is injected, the more obvious its reaction will be."

"So, there must be a priest of considerable status here. Well, when I realized this, I thought of you."

Although she didn't know what was in the box, Serena had something to say when Tempus said so.

She showed a confused expression just right, and responded in a more embarrassing voice than Tempus:

"Your Majesty, I have already understood your needs, but here is a problem - I am just a novice saint, and now there are still a few genuine saints in China who are performing their duties, and there are even a few bishops of the same level as me. Ten people can be at your disposal, isn't this place..."

"No, I have my own considerations for the reason why it is you."

Tempus's eyes suddenly looked extremely sincere.

"This is not a blessing or a ceremony. This is a diplomatic event."

"Although we will be accompanied by official diplomats, it is still a very delicate thing to pay attention to when displaying this treasure..."

"Then you can arrange for an experienced person to go?"

Serena grabbed Hua Dian immediately.

"First of all, we don't really have any church people who are really experienced with this."

Tempus quickly explained.

"Secondly, this kind of thing that needs to be adaptable is obviously more suitable for young people to perform."

"And your performance in the previous incidents is enough to prove that you are the best person for this task."

Serena took a deep breath, and continued to evade:

"Ah, in fact, I think Saint Margaret is a more suitable candidate. Compared with me, she is better than me in all aspects, at least she is equally excellent. Moreover, she has already been active in the north For more than half a year, I am more familiar with the local situation.”

"Besides, her background and education are even more..."

"That's not true, Ms. Serena."

Tempus smiled softly.

"Ms. Margaret is indeed a very good person, but in this matter, her advantage is indeed not as good as yours."

"She grew up in a big family like Granster, and she still lacks a sufficient understanding of the dangers of the human heart."

"And her activities in the northern border are more ceremonial and archaeological in nature. With all due respect, this does not help her interpersonal skills much."

Serena made a troubled expression, and responded hesitantly:

"But we're friends—you know, friendship is the strongest and most fragile thing, and it takes care and nurturing to bloom the most beautifully."

"Our relationship is not strong enough. Your arrangement will make me worry about losing Margaret's friendship-because this matter should belong to her honor."

A hint of impatience flashed in Tempus' eyes, but he concealed it well.

He nodded thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Ah, indeed, friendship is precious, brighter than the most beautiful gems..."

"Maybe we can arrange it that way."

Tempus seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly struck hard.

"I will send a letter to the Pope, asking him to arrange for Margaret to accompany you on this mission."

Serena froze for a moment.

'Why don't you play your cards according to the routine? '

She thought that Tempus would find some new reasons to prove that Serena was indeed the only candidate.

As a result, this guy just waved his hand and went to the two saintesses to deliver the courier?

Although the trainee saint is not worth much, at least in name she is the incarnation of Saint Gillian in the world.

Don't you think it's too strange that two goddess incarnations appear on the same diplomatic occasion, and there is a conflict of personality?

But Tempus obviously didn't find this strange.

In his opinion, Margaret is not doing business in the north now. Do I need to occupy a saint for studying those ancient documents?

Anyway, the Granster family is also responsible for the death of Willard. They should give the royal family and Serena, a descendant of Willard, some face, and let their daughter be a green leaf.

As for what Elcle III thinks...

How he likes to think!

Tempus had long felt that the church was not cooperating enough with him, and Elcle III acted too cautiously.

If you want to do big things, how can you spend all day calculating the gains and losses of a few lives?

Use good steel on the blade, and chop when it should be chopped. This is what the winner should do.

Always worried about weapon damage, never able to destroy the enemy.

And these apprentice saintesses, weren't they the weapons chosen by Ercle III?

now that【@

Serena can be used to solve the current problem, so why not?

As long as you add some color to her, the church will naturally know that what the Pope can't give, the king can give.

Then it's time for Serena to really play her own role.

As for her own opinion, that didn't matter at all.

The big deal is to meet her other requirements. Anyway, as long as this person can cut off the target like a sharp blade, other things are trivial.

"Okay, since we've reached an agreement here, it's settled."

Tempus patted the table with satisfaction, looking confident.

"I won't say much about the importance of this diplomatic action. In short, you just need to know that this is also part of my work to seek justice for the people in the southern border."

"Ms. Serena, I wish you the best of luck!"

Chapter 21 The Person Who Was Missed Day and Night

"Miss Margaret... Ah, look at my memory. Your Excellency, you are going back to the monastery next, right?"

Margaret suddenly came back to her senses. This time, she noticed that her carriage was about to reach a fork in the road, and she had forgotten to inform her subordinates of the itinerary.

"No, not today. We're going south, to the station."

Meg, who was already dressed as a guardian knight, nodded and commanded the convoy skillfully.

After the last exploration, Margaret, who favored the performance of the Peregrine Mercenary Group, made a request that Meg could not refuse.

That is, let them give up their mercenary career and become her followers.

Of course Meg couldn't refuse--just kidding, this is a good thing you can't find with a lantern!

It's not a last resort, who wants to be a mercenary?

High risk, unstable income, and poor social status.

If Meg hadn't given up her family's support for love, she wouldn't have led her little sisters to this business.

Moreover, even if you don't talk about the change in the nature of work, just talk about Margaret herself, that is a rare golden thigh.

Noble birth, lofty status, quick thinking, generous temperament, and a mysterious mage—if such a good master is missed, Meg will not have to mess around in the mercenary world.

Everyone would laugh at her for being stupid.

Besides, with the strength of the Granster family, they basically don't need these peregrine falcons to fight.

They have a lot of private soldiers and knights, and they don't lack the fighting power of these women at all.

High security, good remuneration, and the opportunity for class transition, she agreed without asking Julie for her opinion.

It turns out that everything is a lot easier with a good host.

In just a month or two, most of the peregrine falcons were operated by the Granster family as apologists, low-level deacons, etc., and filled Margaret's team of attendants.

And Meg, who is the most skilled in martial arts, easily passed the assessment and got the title of Guardian Knight - without having to report to the Knights for duty.

You know, even if Serena gave up like that, Knight Samuel just got the same opportunity as Meg, and was admitted to the Guardian Knights.

In contrast, Meg got this status with ease.

However, such a life is not without troubles.

Recently, Meg had to focus on studying the master's thoughts and catering to the master's wishes.

For the bright future of herself and Julie, she tried her best to show her excellence in front of Margaret.

And just now, she guessed Margaret's mind wrong this time, which made Meg's heart skip a beat again.

'Her reaction was exactly the same as usual before?What made her change her habits? '

Margaret had no idea what Meg was thinking.

She only knew that the person she missed was coming here.

Although the previous letter did not specify the specific time when Serena arrived here—it was impossible to say, but Margaret just felt that Serena would arrive soon.

After arriving at the post station, Margaret quickly jumped out of the carriage, stood quietly by the roadside, and looked into the distance.

Meg could not guess her mind wrong this time.

Because, a look similar to Margaret's has appeared on Julie too many times.

Meg suddenly found things interesting.
