Verdant meadows, rippling lakes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the grass is a maid who is cleaning up picnic table cloths and garbage. Next to her was a beautiful woman. In the distance, several knights, grooms, and servants stood sentry.

On the edge of the lake, two sisters are splashing and playing with each other.

What a beautiful picture.

"Remy!Fran!It's time for us to go home!!"

After the maid had finished cleaning up the picnic garbage, the beautiful woman suddenly shouted at the two sisters.

The beautiful woman was the wife of the Grand Duke, and the two girls were the two daughters of the Grand Duke.

Originally, today was the day when the Grand Duke's family went out to play. But helpless...... The king suddenly ordered the Grand Duke to go to the castle to discuss matters, so the Grand Duchess had to go out alone with her two children......

After all, the five or six-year-old child didn't understand anything, and although he was not accompanied by his father, the two still had a lot of fun.

However, at this time, the two sisters suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at the lake in a daze.

The reason is not because of the mother's call, but because they see something bad......

The mother didn't know the reason, but after seeing the two sisters' abnormal reactions, she hurriedly ran to the two sisters and asked.

"Remy, what's wrong with Fran?"

"Someone...... Swimming. ”

The older sister spoke, and the younger sister stretched out her hand and pointed to the middle of the lake.

Hearing the sound, he saw a corpse floating on the lake that his sister Flandrew knew, slowly swimming up and down with the ripples on the lake.

"Someone! Hurry up and save someone!!"

The woman cried out hurriedly.

Hearing the woman's cry, one of the knights hurriedly took off his armor and jumped into the lake!

When the knight brought the body up, they found it. This is not a corpse...... It's a man! a man who still breathes!

Although it was not known whether the man had a chance to live, the knights present treated him as much as they could, and brought him with the servants in their exclusive carriage.

…… Return to the Scarlet family with the others.

Although the Scarlet family is a large family, they only have two castles.

One is the red castle handed down by the ancestors of the Scarlett family, and the other is the Grand Duke's Castle built by the king for the Grand Duke......

The two castles are far apart, but neither is very luxurious.

"Grandpa housekeeper, where's Dad?"

When they returned to the castle, the first thing the sisters did was to ask about their father...... Caring for fathers. It's something the two sisters do every day......

When they returned from their trip in time, the two sisters would also ask the housekeeper about their father's situation and talk to him.

But today was an exception—the butler simply ignored the two sisters, and just looked at the Grand Duke's wife in a daze. There seems to be something to be said.

"Okay, Remi Furan, Dad may be tired, you guys go to sleep for an afternoon first, and when you wake up, you're chatting with Dad, okay?"

"Good!"*2

Fortunately, the Grand Duke's wife saw that the butler had something to say, and made up a little panic to break up the two Remefrand sisters.

looked at the two sisters who were walking towards the castle bedroom and drifting apart...... The Grand Duke's wife breathed a sigh of relief and asked the butler.

"Is something wrong?"

"Madame, your Excellency has been sullen since he returned from the palace. Although my actions were a bit rude...... But I still think it's better for you to meet the adults. Adults are in the study right now. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

After talking to the butler, the woman walked to the castle for calligraphy.

Although the dialogue between the two is only less than four sentences, there seems to be a lot of bloody wind and rain hidden behind these four sentences.

Although the struggle between religion and royal power was a war without gunpowder, it was undoubtedly the most brutal and bloody battle.

Both rarely use force, but once they do, they are undoubtedly brutal slaughter!

Pushing open the door of the study, the woman walked up to the Grand Duke and asked.

"Honey, is something going on? Can you tell me about it? Maybe you'll feel better if you say it. ”

"You're back, are you in any trouble on the way? Where are Remy and Fran?"

"They went to take a nap, but we saved a civilian who almost drowned, and now the civilian is in the servants' bedrooms. But why do you suddenly ask what trouble you are having on the road? Is it serious?"

"Ahh

The Grand Duke sighed helplessly.

"The church has given an ultimatum...... They sent cardinal archbishops, and the voices among the officials who were going to surrender to the church were getting louder. I'm getting tired...... I'm afraid that cardinal is an unscrupulous bastard who will assassinate you!"

"Unfortunately, there is no possibility of reconciliation between us and the church. If I can make Remy and Fran live their lives in peace, I am not afraid of dying with the church. ”

When she said this, the woman's face was full of determination.

"Yes, there will never be any reconciliation between us and the Church! I am the Grand Duke of this country, and the King has given us so much help.

Once the church completely erodes the royal power, the word that holds the hearts of the people is ...... They will undoubtedly be the first to cut us off!, and the king will be replaced by a new king, and that new king will certainly be a puppet of the Church!!"

"What if...... I mean, what if, like the church, surrenders, and the church is willing to guarantee that Remy and Fran live in peace?"

"So what do you want the world to think of Deremy and Fran? Remy and Fran are safe, but they really don't live in pain?

People will say...... This is the betrayer's daughter! Remy and they will think we are bastards! We have shamelessly given Remy and Fran a peaceful life, but they will end up living in pain!

They will not be able to make friends, they will not find a good husband when they grow up, and they will live in misery and loneliness all day long—what is the difference between living such a life and dying?"

At this point, the Grand Duke couldn't help but clench his hands.

"Ahh

Sighing again, the Grand Duke asked helplessly.

"Is there anything strange about the civilian you rescued, the clothes, the looks, the scars?"

"That was found by Fran and Remy!

As for the civilian, he was not outstanding in appearance, and his face was still covered with some unwashed dirt. I don't see the scars...... It was the knights who went to heal him, and I didn't see any injuries on him. The clothes are exclusive to the commoners in the imperial city...... But his mine is a little more shabby.

If there's nothing going on, I'll be going to prepare afternoon tea for Remy and them...... Remember, take it easy and everything will be fine. ”

So saying, the woman and the Grand Duke embraced. (To be continued.) )
