Chapter 41: Ready to Move
If a person knows how to forbear and is good at seizing opportunities, then he must not be far away from success. Maria, the Grand Master of the Purple Rose Knights, is the best example.Her lover Du Reni was killed in a jousting tournament.Her dignity as the head of the regiment was ruthlessly deprived in front of the people.But none of this can break her.Nor can it stop her.King Richard wants to make her guilty and meritorious service.Then she will take this opportunity to make a comeback.Slowly restart her own business.But she already has all kinds of little ninety-nine and plans for the future in her heart.As long as the time is ripe, she can turn around and seize the initiative again.
After all, King Richard is still young and vigorous, and since he met Jacob's sister Jenny, his mind has inadvertently begun to come alive.
No one would have thought that a little peasant girl could easily defeat the 'female' owner of Thrushcross Cottage. Although the kings of the Hope Kingdom were diligent and loved the people, they all married queens who were famous 'family' ladies.
But the power of love is unstoppable.Richard finds every opportunity to be alone with Jenny.In this case.Maria has long been aware.She deliberately doesn't show her voice' and waits to make the king ugly.
If Jacob is about to make trouble, the powerful prestige that Richard has built up for three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren will probably come to naught. This is no longer a simple matter of arbitrarily marrying a commoner's daughter' as a wife, but it involves the conduct and personality of the king. Jacob's original intention in sending his sister over is not for you to take advantage of others. The consequences and bad effects of this incident are probably difficult for Richard to wash away even if he has a pure heart and few 'desires' for a lifetime.
However, the young king's luck was not bad, or his caution and hesitation at the crucial moment saved his reputation and 'integrity'. Jeanne was always a submissive person in the palace. she never said a word in front of the king, and she almost never looked up at the king. Richard had a lot of family affairs with her, but the other party's chatter never opened. Jeanne's sullen style made the atmosphere extremely awkward. If it hadn't been for Richard's courtship, perhaps Jenny would have been kicked out of the palace at once.
When Jacob came in with Maria, Jenny was sitting respectfully across from Richard, and it felt as if the two were facing each other at the table, each for the sake of state.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb you." Maria was the first to speak.
Richard's face was full of helplessness, as if he didn't even notice the angry farmer behind the 'female' leader: "It's all my own family, I don't have to be formal, Sister Jenny is knowledgeable, gentle and touching, but I am a little helpless, she doesn't like to express herself very much, so we sit in silence for a long time."
The second half of the young king's sentence was both complaining and self-deprecating.
Jacob reported bloodlessly, "Your Majesty, that murder suspect Johnny is likely to act immediately, I must ensure my sister's safety, please allow me to take her away from Aston City."
"Wouldn't it be safer to be in the palace?" Maria advised her to behave seamlessly in front of Richard. That thief can't fly off walls or use any powerful magic, and no matter how much he jumps off the wall, he will never be able to threaten the palace.
Jacob replied coldly: "I understand your kindness, but my sister has not been accustomed to 'socializing' with people since she was a child, her 'sex' is more introverted, I am afraid that if this continues, it is very likely that she will have a 'problem'. I also have some friends who have been good since I was a child near my house. Everyone must be able to take care of each other. If Your Majesty really can't rest assured. Then I implore Your Majesty to show your favor and send a few personal 'attendants' to protect Jenny's safety, which is also the best of both worlds."
When Richard heard this, he immediately changed his face, and the farmer really took himself as a green onion. If it weren't for Maria's vigorous eyes, the situation might have become out of control.
At this time, an unexpected and strange thing happened in the royal palace, several snakes and "chickens" that Pope Damasus had placed in Richard's place were released from their cages by unknown people, and the forbidden magic cloth on the eyes of these little beasts was also lost.
Exclamations, cries for help came and went, and finally Richard was here.
The young king had no choice but to put the matter of the Jacob siblings aside, and with a belly full of rage, he went with Maria and the others to check the details.
He had just walked a few steps away, and a dark figure flashed out of the corner, and he was wrapped tightly all over his body, and he carried a unique scimitar at his waist.
Maria shouted and rebuked, "Where did the thief come from, and he didn't hurry up and take his hands down, so that he wouldn't be aware of it when he was in a different place."
The shadow didn't look ready to bother with his tongue, and he walked down the eaves, trying to slip away.
Captain Maria was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she picked up the sword of the guard next to her, and when she saw it, she brushed the ground and threw it over.
Everyone rushed up to capture him, but the man in black was very tenacious, although the blood on his waist was flowing and his head was broken beyond recognition, but he still held back his strength, and he pulled out his scimitar and signaled that no one would come near him.
Maria didn't talk nonsense anymore.Three steps and two steps rushed forward to fight the man alone.The Grand Master of the Purple Rose Knights didn't have a weapon in his hand at this time.He didn't have a battle armor on his body.Even Richard sweated for her.
The man in black didn't know what to do, he thought he could get out of it, he held the scimitar and slashed at Maria's vital parts.
The 'squire' guards on the side applauded one after another, but Maria asked quietly, "What about your accomplices?"
Obviously, this case can't be committed by one person alone.
The man in black didn't answer, Maria stepped on his neck, and asked viciously again, "This is the last time, where is your accomplice?"
The man in black still didn't respond, only a crisp click, and the man had gone to God to report.
Richard couldn't blame her for being reckless, so he said in a roundabout way, "Wouldn't that be cheaper for him?"
"Your Majesty, the news that the snake 'chicken' beast is hidden in the palace is only known to a few leading figures in the Bojiao, and they will definitely be able to guess the truth.
Richard nodded, and his henchman 'squire' had already run to Damasus to inform him of the details.
Cardinal Valentine came over a quarter of an hour later, and the little brutes knew how to play the trick of 'seeking', and after hurting many innocent passers-by, they suddenly disappeared without a trace, and no matter how much they lured them, they did not reappear.
Valentine examined the corpse, and then whispered a few words: "Strange, this person's scimitar seems to be a product of the Cortés Cult, but the Holy See has also had 'exchanges' with the Cortés in recent days.
Maria said with a straight face: "Didn't you Bojiao condemn the Cortesian Sect as a heretic? Why did you accept their initiative to show favor now? These rough people don't deserve courtesy, they will only climb up the pole, without the slightest sense of shame."
"Your Majesty." Valentine ignored Grand Master." The snake 'chicken' beast was captured by our Bojiao, and it is up to us to deal with the aftermath. I'm going to free your petrified 'squires' and servants right now, and then I'll think about anything else."
Richard nodded slightly, he felt that these two men were not good people, and if they were not of use by now, he would have kicked them away.
After dividing five by two, the hapless ones were finally able to stretch and move their hands and feet again.
The Grand Master endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, she asked Valentine in front of everyone: " You Bojiao said that the world is facing the threat of the Mind Flayer.We believe it.You Bojiao also said that the world must unite to fight the enemy together.We also believe it.But the northern Desert people didn't buy it.Just came to shell it twice in three days.Emperor Deliot on the continent is not a fuel-efficient lamp.He is trying every possible way to weaken us.In this case, if anyone is still dedicated to the public, then he is a fool.He has to be eaten by others.This snake 'chicken' beast escapes is a small matter. But Hope Island has so many more opponents because of you, and it's not pleasant."
Although Maria's words came out of her mouth, they actually represented King Richard's heart. Valentine certainly understood the mystery of this, he did not feel the slightest embarrassment or hesitation, and immediately responded: "Of course, there is a priority in the matter, but the threat of the Mind Flayer is unquestionable. It's not worth mentioning in front of the Mind Flayer, and Bojiao is willing to be eaten by others, but he never wants to see the bright world destroyed by the Mind Flayer."
"Then I'll wait to see what the adults actually do." Maria sneered.
'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
