When we are mightily humble, we are closest to greatness.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

"Your Highness, you should be aware of the risks of going to the Besançon Province of the Celestial Dragon Empire at this time, this is very different from the original intention of our trip!" Bishop Scola, who was full of worry, advised Charolle: "Otherwise, we should give up going north, right?"

"Uncle Scola, you grew up watching me and my sister grow up, don't you know that this is my sister's decision?" Charolle, who smiled bitterly, said helplessly: "You know better than me what kind of character my sister has, can I change her decision?"

"This ......" Bishop Scola was not unaware of what Charlotte said, but his original idea was to persuade Charlotte to give up the decision through Charolle, but the reality was that Charlotte had no intention of persuading his sister at all.

"Uncle Skora, the situation in the north of the Celestial Dragon Empire may not be as bad as you think. Looking at Bishop Scola who was almost speechless, Charolle smiled and comforted him: "It is said that the number of troops in the Heavenly Dragon Empire is several times that of the three steppe tribes!"

"Your Highness, it's not that I think about the situation in the north of the Celestial Dragon Empire is unbearable, but that you and Your Highness Charlotte think too beautifully. Bishop Scola, who sighed lightly, took out a small magic map from the spatial ring ring on his left ring finger and handed it to Charolle:

"This is what our Holy See intelligence personnel know, the total strength of the Celestial Dragon Empire's troops stationed in the north of the Celestial Dragon Empire is about 1.4 million, and the Turkic, Jurchen, and Khitan tribes that confront them have about 700,000 troops. ”

"Uncle Skora, half of the 700,000 cavalry of the Turkic, Jurchen, and Khitan tribes stayed in the northern provinces of the Tianlong Empire that they occupied, and it seems that there are less than 400,000 cavalry to really confront the Tianlong army in the border area?"

"This ......," Bishop Scola said again, and he had to smile bitterly and frankly: "Your Highness, you are really grown up now, and you are no longer the child you used to be; as you said, the steppe cavalry that actually confronted the Celestial Dragon Army was indeed less than 400,000. ”

"However, today you have also heard about the discussion of those courtiers of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and it is not good news that the army of the Jurchen tribe has increased from 100,000 to 200,000 cavalry in Langxiang Province, which is across the river from their Besansong Province. ”

"So what?" The Holy Maiden Charlotte, who suddenly walked into the living room, said in a cold voice: "Even if the Jurchen tribe gathers 200,000 cavalry in Langxiang Province, I don't believe that they can defeat Bai Feng's army; ”

"Sister!" As soon as Charlotte appeared, Charolle and Bishop Scola immediately bowed to her.

If such a scene were seen by those who were familiar with the hierarchy of the Holy See, they would have even stared out in astonishment, because normally the cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, who has the power to elect and remove the Pope, has a much higher status and status than the many sons and daughters.

Even if Charolle and Charlotte were the most beloved grandsons and granddaughters of the current pope, they could not have a higher status within the Holy See than cardinal archbishops, and the status of the sons who could become the next pope was often much higher than that of saints who did not have papal succession.

But the fact before us is that Charlotte the Son is of a higher status than Cardinal Archbishop Scola, and that the status of Charlotte is higher than that of both of them, as can be seen from the attitude of Charola and Scola towards Charlotte.

"Uncle Scola, you are the cardinal archbishop of our Holy See, and it is your duty to bring the gospel of God to the suffering Terran people, isn't it?" Charlotte pointed out in a special way: "Right now, it is a good opportunity for us to spread the gospel of God. ”

"Your Highness, it is indeed the duty of every member of the Holy See to spread the gospel of God. Bishop Scola, who nodded in approval, changed his words and said, "But the safety of you and Your Highness Charolle is a more important matter than spreading the gospel of God. ”

"If you are still not worried about our safety, then gather all the Light Knights of our Holy See in the bishoprics of the Celestial Dragon Empire. Charlotte said with a nonchalant expression: "With a large number of Knights of Light guarding us, our safety can naturally be guaranteed." ”

"Your Highness the Holy Maiden is wise!" Bishop Scola, who was in a daze, immediately regained his resolute nature: "Please wait a few days, at most ten days, I can gather twenty Knights of Light for the two Highnesses to come and escort them." ”

"Well, you go down and get ready. Charlotte, who spoke indifferently, waved her hand casually, and Bishop Scola bowed and retreated.

"Sister, twenty Knights of Light, that's a full ten thousand Knights of Light. After Bishop Scola left, Charolle, who didn't know why, asked Charlotte, "Do we need to gather so many knights of light to serve as guards by our side?"

"Of course not!" Charlotte, who relaxed slightly, replied without hesitation, "We have Scola and three other ascetics by our side to protect us, where do we need to summon the Light Knights again, just in case." ”

"Just in case?" Charolle, who was stunned when she heard this, asked in disbelief in the next second: "Sister, do you mean that Bai Feng, who has just played the prestige of the Feather Forest God of War, is very likely not to accept the olive branch that our Holy See threw at him? How is this possible?!"

"How is this impossible?" Charlotte frowned and said with an unhappy expression: "Do you think Bai Feng is so easy to be recruited? If he accepts our solicitation as soon as we throw out an olive branch, then he is not worthy of being called the God of War in the Feather Forest!"

"Isn't it one of the two major goals of our visit to the Heavenly Dragon Empire this time?" Charolle, who was becoming more and more confused, was puzzled: "If we don't have a complete grasp of recruiting him, then why waste time and energy on him?"

"The reason why we put recruiting Bai Feng in the same important position as expanding the influence of the Holy See is because Bai Feng's strength is worthy of us to win him over and recruit him, and on the other hand, because the people above are very interested in Bai Feng. ”

"The person above is actually interested in Bai Feng?!" Charolle, who was shocked, was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and then he also understood: "Since the person above is interested in him, then we really have to put some effort into him." ”

"Don't mention anything about our desire to recruit Bai Feng to anyone, including Uncle Scola, just yet. Charlotte, who still looked indifferent, reminded Charol: "If this matter is exposed, it will inevitably affect the relationship between our Holy See and the Heavenly Dragon Empire. ”

"Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Charlore, who was full of seriousness, swore an oath.

"Also, don't be impulsive next time you encounter something, you know that Fetzteler can't hurt me, so why rush up to find trouble for yourself?" Before leaving, Charlotte turned around and sighed softly: "If you really want to protect me, raise your strength to that level as soon as possible." ”

Looking at her sister's distant back, Charolle, who clenched her hands into fists, said to herself in an extremely firm tone: "Sister, sooner or later, I will transcend that realm, and when the time comes, I can protect you and let you stop shouldering so many responsibilities!"
