Chapter 540: Secret Meeting
Loria was taken to a small room on the south side of the library, built against a cliff, almost clinging to the walls of the abbey. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-~,
The knight who had lured her in pushed open the door and left, pouting, there was no one or thing in the monastery to fear her, not even a trap, she was no longer the trembling little girl she had been.
After a short hallway, she saw a small but lavishly decorated room, near the middle of which lay a simple low table, which seemed to be added for her sake, and behind the low table sat a man with a brown beard.
"Miss Mograini. The man got up to greet her and politely asked, "Would you like some tea?"
Loria looked at the small refreshments on the table, she had already eaten up the stock hidden under the bed, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, she had not been able to get the special food recently, she nodded and sat down opposite the man, watching him pour the tea slowly without saying a word.
β¦β¦
When Chestnut came back to her senses, she found a woman lying under her, and the others were surrounding her, their eyes wide as if they had discovered something incredible.
She felt a little dizzy and blinked her eyes, and the light told her that it was already dawn...... Last night spent hungry again...... The sequelae of illness - photophobia, seems to be better?
Before she could figure out what was going on, she was pushed to the ground by her roommates, who tied her to the bed, and two of them left anxiously...... Chestnut noticed that the fallen woman was the warrior of her bunk, her shoulders covered in blood, and she finally sat up and was looking at her with frightened eyes.
Chestnut thought it was a little funny, she was almost twice as big as herself, why was she afraid of herself?
By the time she noticed the blood on her face and hands. The departing man brought with him several priests.
'The undead who hide among us and devour our flesh'
The priest was quick to deliver the verdict.
Chestnut came to her senses in a trance, fear choked her breath like a huge foreign object, she understood what she had done, but she didn't understand why she was like this...... I must have had a burn in my brain.
The more pressing problem is this: once she is judged to be an undead, all that awaits her is burning at the stake.
β¦β¦
"I'm sorry, Miss Loria. Forgive me for taking the liberty of inviting you here, you don't mind me calling you by your name. The man known as Bogdanoshka apologized to Loria one after another with a smile that was no more or less appropriate: "I apologize again, I am a rude person, and I invite you to come because I want to ask you a few questions. β
Loria nodded, and she looked at Bogdanoshka, who looked to be in his early forties, but it was not ruled out that the puffy brown beard made him look older than he really was...... Loria had never seen him. He doesn't look like Renault's henchman, but he has the ability to get her right under the nose of Whiteman's spies.
"You...... What do you think of the current situation?" Bogdanoshka didn't look at Loria, he looked down, just stared at his own hand as he poured tea for Loria.
"It's a special time, and I think it's understandable. β
Loria took the teacup handed by the other party, and was struggling with whether to pick up a piece of refreshment, it would be rude to sweep away other people's food as soon as she came up, but it didn't matter if you only ate one bite.
Hear Loria's reply. Bogdanoshka was stunned for a moment, then regained the smile that had not been far away from before. As if he saw Loria's desire, he pushed the small plate containing the biscuits towards her, and after Loria picked out a piece, he continued, "This is indeed a special time...... It's normal for you to be suspicious of me, because you don't know me and you don't know who I've always been. I am a friend of your father, a vassal of your grandfather, and you can trust me. β
Loria squeak, squeak, squeak, swallow the biscuits, tsk, it tastes so good...... This guy is like a fraudster. In that case, there is no need to be polite to him.
So, she took another biscuit and said nonchalantly, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Count. β
She's not as naΓ―ve as she looks.
"Ahem......" Bogdanoshka looked a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and continued: "I say, you don't have to make any indications...... I'll bring you another plate of refreshments. β
As he spoke, he got up and took out a small box from the cabinet, and poured out the yellow, orange, and orange biscuits from it, and kept his mouth on it, "I think the current situation is a bit more than expected, my friends are frustrated by the transfer of their soldiers, do you mean that the commander does not trust them? β¦ And those who want the crusaders to get better. β
Loria thought silently for a while, wondering if Bogdanoshka was expressing her dissatisfaction tactfully...... Is he suing himself for the power behind him...... If you want to get better, do you think it's bad now?
She picked up a cookie.
"You are the rightful heir to Duke Mograine...... Considering your brother's reckless behaviour some time ago, and his long-standing observations of you, we think you are in a better position to speak for us...... Don't worry, we just want you to make your claim heard on our behalf. β
Loria thought for a while, then picked up another cookie, Bogdanoska's words were plausible, he couldn't find anything wrong, and he was also guarding himself against going to Gaomi.
Let's hear what he has to say.
"It's an expression of demand...... In fact, we have nothing to complain about the current situation, after all, Your Excellency Commander is your own uncle. Bogdan Noshka paid attention to Loria's expression and said slowly: "We want to tell you that we are friends you can trust, please think carefully about my words, my position and my demands, as long as you need, we can respond to your request...... Whether it's bringing a little bit for you or helping you take care of your pet. β
Loria stopped touching the biscuits, she stared into Bogdanoska's eyes, thinking about whether to hypnotize him, and after a while, she gave up her rash attack and asked, "At what cost?"
"We feel that someone who listens and shares is better suited to be friends. β
"I see. Loria nodded and got up to leave, but at the end, she didn't forget to pack all the refreshments and take them away, "I'm a person who knows how to share, and these cookies are just right to share with my friends." β
When she left, Bogdanoshka looked in pain, how difficult it was to get a box of cookies now that Loria had brought a gift - the portal was blocked! )
