March 13, 1174, five p.m., Twilight City, Sister Hotel.

"Don't squeeze everyone! Don't squeeze! I've already said it! There are no extra rooms in the hotel today!"

Karin Foreman, who was very busy, flipped through the notepad in her hand and shouted at the crowd in front of the hotel bar: "I repeat! All the rooms in the hotel have been reserved for next week, and there are no extra rooms for rent!"

The crowd erupted in a burst of disgruntled boos.

Someone held up the money bag in his hand and said loudly: "We are the Seven Eyes Chamber of Commerce from the East, my master only needs one room, and we can pay three times the price of the price!"

Karin rolled her eyes helplessly: "Don't say three times, some people are even willing to pay ten times, I can't vacate the room." ”

A young knight in gorgeous armor desperately squeezed to the bar and said to Karin: "I am the knight of the guard of the Holloway Kingdom, the king's chariot is just outside the door, we ask for three ......"

Karin pointed to the top of her head angrily: "Look at the top of your head, there are at least ten kings living in this hotel!"

Pamela, who was sweating profusely, poked her head out of the back kitchen: "Sister Karin, the ingredients in the kitchen are running out." ”

Karin looked up in annoyance, picked up a pen in her hand, and threw it into the back kitchen room.

In an instant, amid the exclamations of the people, Karin disappeared into the bar and teleported to the kitchen.

Looking at the empty ingredient trough, Karin rubbed her eyebrows with a headache: "Poultry, seafood, mountain goods, all eaten?!"

Pamela nodded: "When I bought the goods on Monday, I originally prepared a ten-day supply, but I didn't expect that only three days had passed, and I ate it all." ”

Karin snapped the lid of the trough and said to Pamela, "Go to the Knights of the North Island to find the deputy commander Jerry, and buy him some of the rations stored in the army......"

Before she could finish speaking, a woman's scream came from the lobby, attracting Karin's attention.

Walking out of the back kitchen and seeing a xenomorph waitress holding her hips and glaring angrily at a drunken guest, Karin instantly understood what was going on.

"Cosette!" Karin yelled, pointing at the drunken guest, "Give him a hard run!"

A dazzling electric light, accompanied by a scream, instantly made the entire noisy hotel suddenly quiet.

Karin brushed her hair through her fingers, walked to the back of the bar, and said softly to the silent guests, "Excuse me, what else can I do to help you?"

In another part of the kingdom, in the Coming Back Tomorrow tavern, a conversation is underway.

Cumberland and Emerson sat at the table in the innermost corner of the tavern, quietly drinking ale and eating snacks.

Cumberland looked at the crowd in the tavern and grinned, "I don't think there's ever been so many people in Twilight City. ”

Listening to the noise in his ears, Emerson frowned and said, "The inauguration ceremony of Protestantism is next Monday, and after the ceremony, it will be a ten-day 'Holy Sacrifice Celebration'. So many people poured into the city, all to watch the ceremony. Therefore, it is understandable that there are so many people. ”

"If our war in the Holy Acropolis had not ended well, I don't think there would have been so many people coming to join in the fun. Cumberland tossed a slice of fried fish into his mouth and snorted disdainfully.

Emerson glanced at his old friend, "Are you boasting about that?"

Cumberland took another sip of ale: "The longer I live, the more I can see, and I will long past the age of playing tricks." ”

After drinking the wine in the glass, Cumberland stared at Emerson and said, "I want to ask you, what about Your Majesty's affairs?"

The latter was looking at the two young men in the center of the tavern who were wrestling their wrists, and replied absentmindedly: "Your Majesty's business?

"Heir!"

Cumberland pounded the table with a bang, and the volume increased by three points.

Seeing that someone was looking here, Emerson hurriedly reminded the other party to be quieter.

Cumberland lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has no children yet, what should the kingdom do in the future?"

Emerson sighed helplessly: "We have discussed this matter many times before. ”

"Damn! I know!" Cumberland roared in a depressed voice, "Now that I think about it, as long as Your Majesty is willing, it is not a big deal who the child's biological mother is...... Even if His Majesty has a crush on the woman of unknown origin, I have no intention of hindering it any longer, as long as she can give birth to His Majesty's child. ”

Emerson looked at Cumberland and whispered, "After the establishment of Protestantism, His Majesty will become the Pope, you should know, according to the doctrine ......"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. The Pope, as God's spokesman, cannot take a wife. Cumberland's eyes widened: "But there is no doctrinal rule that the Pope can't sleep with a woman, right? That stupid donkey pope in Taylor City, the mistress I've touched, I can't fucking count them on two hands, don't tell me I don't know!"

Emerson shook his head with embarrassment: "The way you speak should have been corrected, and you don't know tactfulness at all." ”

"Fart!A stick and a hole!A shit tact!" Cumberland's forehead was bruised: "Your Majesty is alone, no relatives, no heirs, if there is any accident, the whole of Twilight City will be finished!"

Emerson nodded slightly: "You're right, even if Your Majesty becomes the Pope, if you can have an heir, even if it is an illegitimate child, it will be a very important thing for Dusk City." ”

Cumberland grinned, "Since you said this, I will assume that you agree with my idea." Now let's discuss, and I think so about His Majesty's mistress......"

Emerson: "......"

"Ahh

In the Cathedral of the Twilight West, Todd, dressed in a pure platinum-rimmed robe of Holy Order, stands on the pulpit and sneezes loudly.

Huggins then took a cloak and asked Todd, "Your Majesty, it's still early spring, and it's still a little cold at night, please put this on." ”

Todd declined Huggins' kindness, turned to Monk Joe, and said, "What's wrong with the rehearsal just now?"

Jo held an ancient book in both hands, and as he looked at it, he said, "Your Majesty, you can walk more slowly on the steps, and when you recite prayers, you should start with a raised tone. ”

Todd nodded as he listened: "Then do it again, try not to make any deviations, and make sure the ceremony is correct." ”

Huggins interrupted the rehearsal in a whisper and said to Todd, "Your Majesty, look. ”

Todd looked ahead, and Richel, dressed in a black brigade uniform, stood at the door of the cathedral and looked at him.

"Rest for a while. Todd stepped down from the pulpit and came to Richell's side.

The latter looked at the rehearsal battle and said softly: "You don't have to go through such a lot of trouble at all, even if you put on your daily casual clothes and walk around casually twice, you can still get everyone's cheers and praise." ”

Todd smiled and shook his head: "The meaning is different. ”

Rachel tilted her head, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you going to make a good impression on the people one end of the day?"

Todd didn't answer the question, but asked something else: "Still don't want to talk to me about who you were?"

Rachel shook his head self-deprecatingly: "There is no point in talking about that now, I came to see you today to resign......"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find an answer, an answer that will explain who I really am. ”

Todd stared at Richel's eyes, and just as he wanted to speak, he was rushed by the other party and said, "You don't have to worry about my safety, as I have said in the past, no one can do better than me when it comes to how to protect myself." ”

"What about the Xenomorph Society, what are they going to do when you're gone?"

"I've given the power of the elders to Karin. Over the past few years, she has learned how to deal with the affairs of xenomorphs, and she can be completely on her own. ”

Rachel walked up to Todd, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and kissed him lightly on the lips: "Promise me to take care of yourself until we meet again." ”

Rachel gave Todd one last reluctant, then turned resolutely, turned on his horse, and rode off into the distance.
