The 155-year > of redemption is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of Agamandel. Starters, oh dear

The intimate meeting between Pope St. Anastas I and Oron I at the Imperial Palace began a century-long honeymoon period between the royal family and the Church of Light, and was the decisive moment for the official launch of the plan of salvation in what later historians call it.

At this moment, these two great men, who have been written about in the history books of later generations, are in a quiet lounge, about to begin their conversation.

Ren Jia looked at the young man who had taken off the image of the perfect prince after entering the door, and half-lay down on the sofa in an extremely lazy posture, "Dear Your Excellency, please don't be so restrained, there are only two of us here now, you can choose any posture that makes you feel comfortable."

Sitting across from her with her back straight, she looked calm, "Thank you, Your Highness Oron, for your kindness. In order not to waste precious time, can we get down to business now? ”

"Straight to the point?" The young man with his chin half-propped up and his eyes squinted chewed on these two words, and his smile was meaningful, "To be honest, I really don't really know what you mean by the main topic. I've asked you so much that I would like you to come to my banquet, but you don't seem to like that kind of enjoyment. “

Ren Jia had no patience or interest in fighting with the other party, she said bluntly, "Your Highness, we both know very well that the relationship between the Holy See and the royal family is very bad now, and the royal family betrays the God of Light to flatter the Dark Church, shields the sinners who betray God and the Holy See, and hides the believers of the Dark Church, none of the above is so pleasant. As the new pope, I don't want the relationship between the Holy See and the royal family to be on the same page for decades to come. ”

Oren glanced thoughtfully at the still calm Pope, and said slowly, "I'm afraid your premise is that the royal family must cooperate with the Holy See to wage war against the Dark Church." As far as I know, the Holy See and the Templars have privately reached an agreement to intervene in the activities of the Dark Church in various places, and under your guidance, has a new round of religious wars begun? ”

"If what you want is a definite answer," Ren Jia nodded and admitted, "yes, the horn of war has been sounded, except for an official document of the Holy See with the golden seal of the Pope." “

"Your ambition and courage are truly astonishing," the young man who said these words did not show any surprise on his face, but instead showed a charming smile, "I am really curious what price you paid to get those old men of the Holy See to agree to such a reckless move, you know, although there is nothing in those people that can make people feel charismatic, but at least I agree with this item very much. “

"This is an internal affair of the Holy See, please forgive me for not being able to tell you." Ren Jia doesn't hide it, even if this kind of thing is leaked, it is worthless, of course, no one on either side of the secret will open their mouths.

"Well, I'm not really that interested in these things," the young man spread his hands and turned over the subject, looking at the girl in front of him with a heart-wrenching look, "I am really interested in my dear Holiness the Pope, now that we need to be honest with each other, you can make your own request for this trip, knowing that I will definitely give in more than you think." ”

Ren Jia took a serious look at His Royal Highness, who had been unpredictable from the beginning of his appearance, and slowly spoke, "As the Pope personally chosen by the God of Light, I hope that during my reign, the relationship between the Holy See and the royal family can gradually ease, and the situation like the previous situation that caused the two sides to intervene and even lead to the intervention of the Dark Church will definitely not be allowed to happen again." In exchange, the royal family will no longer be under pressure from the Holy See, and as for the struggle for secular power, during my tenure, I believe we can find an answer that will at least satisfy both sides, after all, the dark Holy See is also a big cake. ”

"I'm really surprised by you," Oron finally straightened up and chuckled, "Sure enough, my hunch was correct. "What an interesting pope, compared to the boring old men of the Holy See, the girl in front of him seemed to be full of light, and had no devotion to the god of light, but was more pure and diligent than those so-called believers, and it was curious what her intentions were.

"My dear Excellency the Pope, I am afraid that no one will refuse such a generous request of yours." The young man got up and walked to the girl who was sitting quietly, smiling brightly, "Your sincerity is so touching, as long as you have a heart, you can't refuse this temptation, can't you?" ”

"And what about your answer?" Ren Jia turned his head sideways to avoid the other party's too close movements, which was a little uneasy.

"It's a pity," Oron sighed, looking at the strands of hair slipping from his fingers, "I'm not interested in this offer either. Still, I would like to commend you for the fact that His Excellency the Pope is more seductive than the fools of the Dark See. ”

"It seems that you don't care what happens to the royal family." For His Royal Highness the Prince, who showed his willfulness to the fullest, Ren Jia was helpless, and his attitude changed. Although this situation was a little troublesome, it was not too troublesome, after all, she had prepared for the worst before she came, "Since you are not interested in my conditions, then you might as well talk about your opinion." ”

"My opinion?" The young man snorted, looking sideways and looking particularly charming, "I said that what I was really interested in was you. After all, you're here because of me, aren't you? The last sentence pressed between his lips, low, ambiguous and secret.

"What do you mean?" Ren Jia frowned slightly, looking at the young man beside him who was smiling quite swaggeringly with the corners of his mouth raised, he looked like a child who was enough to show off his precious toys.

"If the Roman Holy Maiden hadn't died, you wouldn't be here," he said, putting his fingers to his lips, the glint in his eyes shining brightly, "My Emperor Majesty's father has tried all his life to have sons, but it is a pity that even though he has as many women as the stars in the sky, he has not had one more son. He is so longing and so pitiful, as his only child, is it not good for me to fulfill his humble wishes? Although, this wish is fake. ”

At this moment, Ren Jia seemed to see the face of the demon under this man's skin, and even she, who was out of the way, couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

The guy who has manipulated such a chaotic situation single-handedly, is deep and treacherous, and I'm afraid she can't guess it. However, there was one thing she was very suspicious of, in Roman's memory, Maury had known his identity from his dead mother for a long time, and his appearance was similar to that of His Majesty the Emperor, but since Oron said it was a fake, it would certainly not be without purpose.

"What's Murray's identity?" Ren Jia asked this question for the dead Roman, if everything is fake, then Roman is too pathetic, and the same goes for Mori.

"A distant cousin of His Majesty the Emperor, who was executed many years ago for angering him, seduced a certain lady-in-waiting before he died." Oren's smile was full of sarcasm at his father, who, as rumored had it, was accustomed to mocking his father. After all, there are too many such precedents in the royal secrets, the emperor who has unbearable personal morality, the queen who died of depression, and the prince who had a miserable childhood, it is a big drama everywhere.

It's no wonder that Mori's mother never let him confess for so many years before, until she died, and was able to completely bury a secret, so that her son appeared with false glory.

Ren Jia finally understands the contradiction between Roman's memory and the real situation.

"Is it okay for you to tell me this kind of secret?" Ren Jia was puzzled.

"I have already said that I will give in to the bottom line more than you think," the young man complained helplessly, "My dear Excellency, you should trust me more. ”

"I don't think so." Ren Jia didn't buy it.

"This little stubbornness is also cute," Oron laughed, "and the God of Light has really given me a good gift. After speaking, he slowly looked at the girl in front of him with a very sloppy gaze, and said word by word in her unguarded eyes, "Let me guess what you look like, girl, older than Roman, in her twenties, good looks, must have a happy family, or at least have a father who loves you, but there must have been some changes in the middle, otherwise you wouldn't be here, after all, a messenger who has no faith but claims to be the god of light appears here, isn't it?" ”

With the words spoken by the young man, Ren Jia's brows never relaxed, and she was most afraid of meeting this kind of person who was too perceptive when doing tasks, after all, they were not doing tasks and acting, and they could not always maintain the same appearance as the original person, not to mention, she never intended to hide from beginning to end, and the messenger of the God of Light was the position she gave herself.

A dead saintess suddenly appeared, with a completely different personality and strong strength than before, it is very appropriate to explain it with the incarnation of the divine envoy, after all, there have been many records in the history of the Holy See that the god of light sent down the divine envoy, but now it seems that she has too many loopholes in this area of faith, but also, how can a person like her, who has no faith at all, understand and disguise that kind of feeling, exposure is inevitable.

"I'll admit you're right, and then?" Ren Jia didn't take the effort to refute, who she was and what she wanted to do had little to do with her, and His Royal Highness the prince would not be useless if he chose to confess at this moment.

The smile on Oren's face deepened, "That's why I like you so much, after all, you're really so funny, aren't you?" ”

"If you're just trying to entertain me, then leave it at that." Ren Jia got up and was about to leave, she was really tired of this situation of talking about him left and right.

"It's really incomprehensible." Quickly grabbing the hem of the other's skirt, Oren sighed, but his heart was more excited. A man with a good appearance always knows and makes good use of his charms better than others, but in her case, this trick is very difficult to use, and it is no wonder that the Knight of the Holy Light is willing to follow her, after all, he is notoriously disgusted with the hospitality of noble ladies.

"Dear Your Excellency, what would you think if I said that I would be your exclusive knight and follow you?"

Ren Jia looked at the prince who was clutching the hem of his skirt, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. A prince who became a knight exclusive to the Pope?! At a time when the Emperor is the only heir left?

"Is there something wrong with your brain, or is there something wrong with my ear?" She had to ask, after all, this proposal was not ordinary madness, it was almost as if the imperial family was completely subservient to the authority of the Holy See, and even in the sweetest years when the relationship between the royal family and the Holy See was at its sweetest, such madness would not have occurred.

"It's a pleasure to be so surprised by you." Oron got up and walked in front of the girl, and smoothed her crumpled skirt meticulously, looking helpless and doting, "If I become your exclusive knight, we are the closest people, no matter what you want the royal family to do, you can directly order me, neither have to deal with those difficult old guys in the Holy See, nor do you have to deal with difficulties from the royal family and nobles, as long as it is your heart, I will do it, no matter how difficult it is." You see, my bottom line for you is so low, how is it, happy? ”

"I feel more frightened than happy," Ren Jia's eyes were solemn, looking at the veritable madman in front of him, "You can directly state your intentions and intentions, there is no need to beat around the bush with me, and there is no need to test it repeatedly, within my bottom line, I will consider the mutually beneficial decisions of both parties." ”

"It is you, my dear Excellency," Oron looked down at the much shorter maiden, his eyes curled with frenzy, "look carefully into my eyes, what do you see in them?" ”

Ren Jia didn't like the look in the eyes of the person in front of him, not at all.

Seeing her look of resistance, he smiled happily, "It wants you, understand?" My purpose is you, and what I want is you, so isn't it inevitable to become your exclusive knight? ”

"It seems that you don't understand a man's feelings for a woman." Eventually, he came to this conclusion, but was even happier, "Does this mean that no one before me has been able to make you feel this feeling so strongly?" ”

"Felks García Oren, I repeat it one last time, say your terms, or you will bear the consequences." Ren Jia looked at the man standing in front of him with a solemn expression, and his mood of leaving was even stronger.

"Even if I say it a thousand times and ten thousand times," his smile was full of demagogy, "my condition is to be your exclusive knight." Of course, there is no need for other nasty people to follow you, after all, my status is noble enough that no one else can be equal to me, and I believe that at least this peculiarity should be preserved. ”

"Felks García Oren, you must know that it is not me who suffers the most by agreeing to this condition." Ren Jia was finally tired of this kind of language game, didn't she dare to agree to this condition, even if she really brought this highness with her, she was confident enough to hold on until she successfully completed the task, of course, provided that he did not violate the dogma of the exclusive knight and adopt some despicable means.

"It is my pleasure to dedicate everything to you, my dear Holiness the Pope." The young man knelt on one knee and looked up at the girl who would be everything to him in the future, and his hearty smile was full of pride, as if he felt that it was commendable to let her cope with this matter.

"So be it." Ren Jia finally agreed to this ridiculous condition, "In view of your special status, I will let the Holy See prepare a formal oath-taking ceremony, and before that, you will have a chance to repent." ”

"No, I don't need any way out," Oron shook his head in refusal, smiling at the open-minded girl, "My dear Excellency, at this moment, I have become your most loyal and exclusive knight. I swear by my life that I will give you everything I have, and I will remember humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirit, truth, justice, and though I have no armor or sword to protect you, I will exhaust every ounce of wisdom for you until you turn your back on my soul, or he will always be of your use. ”

Although there were many elements of willful jokes in this highness's character, at this moment, Ren Jia clearly felt the power behind the oath, and she had to believe that the young man who was kneeling on one knee in front of her would do what he said.

It's a terrible person, in order to seduce her to bewitch her to do this, or rather, he himself doesn't think it's a lure, he just puts the sweet bait in front of you, if you don't resist biting the bait, he will only regret that your principles and ethics are too weak, and betray his loyalty and trust.

Ren Jia wasn't sure how far she would go with this man's connivance, but she was sure that she would never give such a dangerous person a chance to turn her back on herself, before she left this world. 166 Reading Network
