Chapter 55: The princess chooses a hard servant
It was His Royal Highness Albert, the overseer of the Duchy of Borot, who was accompanied by Catherine, Princess Claudia's personal maid.
It turned out that although Albert was thinking about Kagun's injury, after the guidance of his military advisor Talen Crawford, he immediately realized that he should take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and improve his relationship with the princess. He had already discussed with the old Count d'Estini the previous evening that he would take Catherine to the church of Bilty to be with Claudia. This is a beautiful thing, the earl naturally agreed, and Catherine didn't have to say anything, she had been with the princess for so many years, and neither of them could do without the other.
Claudia was taking care of the former prisoner No. 24602 who had fainted due to eating too much at once. The poor man fainted from the unexpected warmth he had received for a while, and although he had been engaged in unusually heavy physical labor for many years, and had not eaten very well, he was very strong, and this time he fainted to the ground, which Bishop Mirière thought was a factor of food, but in fact it was more of a mental factor.
The aggrieved head of the 24602 prisoner was now leaning against the princess's warm arms, his subconscious reminding himself that it was so comfortable, too comfortable!
He suddenly opened his eyes slowly, and saw that the princess was wearing a jade phoenix hairpin, a flowered long skirt brushing the ground, a duck egg face, thin eyebrows, and her expression was full of melancholy and sympathy.
Prisoner No. 24602 hurriedly straightened up and said, "Where am I? Who are you? Am I dreaming?"
"This is the Church of the Liberal Arts, my name is Claudia. The princess said, grabbing the prisoner's hand and kissing it to her mouth, "We all live in a world created by God. ”
The convict felt the wetness of the princess's mouth and the breath coming out of it. He stared at Claudia's clear eyes, and suddenly he was distracted. He has been forced to serve for ten years, and he has never had a full stomach for a day, nor has he had the leisure or strength to think about anything else. Bishop Mirière gave him bread and the princess gave him spiritual comfort. He suddenly trembled and grabbed the princess's slender arm with both hands, rubbing and kissing on it.
This scene happened to be seen by His Royal Highness Albert, who had no time to think of anything else, and immediately rushed forward with a flying arrow, trying to forcibly pull the pickled goods away from the princess.
The poor man's ten years of hard labor were not done in vain, he had just replenished five loaves of bread, and although Albert also had some martial arts, he was not enough in the face of the brute force of this hard servant.
When prisoner No. 24602 saw that someone was trying to deprive him of his happiness, he immediately cried out as if he had gone mad: "Ahh
He let go of the princess's arm and turned back to fight Albert. His Royal Highness Albert was tall and tall, but he was completely unable to compete with him in terms of strength, and was pushed backwards like a bull by this hard servant.
Princess Claudia shouted loudly in a hurry from behind: "This is His Royal Highness Albert of the Duchy of Borot!"
The convict was stunned for a moment, then fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed there like a madman, and begged for mercy without stopping: "Big man! Big man! I know that I am wrong." I didn't know that you were a noble highness, and that we had only a small person in charge of it all the year round, and although it was something that His Majesty the Emperor had personally asked to build, he never showed up. Who are you? Your Highness Albert? I haven't heard of it! Hahahahaha! But the big guys, what do you want to hear about? I'm not a big guy, I'm nothing. You punish me, it's okay, I'm not afraid of another ten years!"
Albert had come with a heart in love, but when he encountered such a messy comedy, he was so angry and annoyed that he raised one leg and stomped heavily on the back of the prisoner.
The man didn't seem to know how to complain, he didn't know the pain, and still cried out frantically, "Ah! People should still live in reality. The dream of the five loaves of bread was beautiful, but I just didn't think it was real. Now, I can finally continue to be my hard labor prisoner with peace of mind!hahahaha!"
Albert spat contemptuously, "Phew!" and then walked up to the princess and greeted him politely.
Claudia did not appreciate it, but together with Catherine, who had already come to her, she helped the penal prisoner who was lying on the ground prone to the ground, and she comforted her softly: "It's all right, it's all right!"
Bishop Mirière had just been pestered by a few idlers at the door of the church and had a few words, and when he came in, he found that the atmosphere was not quite right. Albert sat alone, while Claudia and Catherine were on the other side with the convicts.
The bishop first stepped forward to ask His Highness Albert what had happened, and the young man was at a loss, meaning that the ragged beggar had caused trouble.
When the princess saw that the bishop was coming, she also asked in detail about the doubts that she had not had time to mention just now, who this number 24602 was.
The bishop briefly recounted what he had learned, and the poor man was now quiet because he had vented his emotions once more.
Although Albert's father taught his children well, after all, the surrounding environment and the characters he came into contact with since childhood were all from the upper class, so although Xiao A had a pure heart, he had not yet had time to fully sprout. He had an indescribable feeling about beggars and similar little people, and although he knew to sympathize with them, there must be something hateful about the poor people, and Xiao Ah always felt that he could not make friends with these people. Although his stampede was not too malicious, it also exposed the dark side of his heart. In fact, if someone really came to beg him in person, Xiao Ah would definitely take out all the change from his pocket and give it to him without hesitation. But if these beggars live under the same roof as him for a long time, then Xiao Ah will never be able to bear it. This is both his vulnerable side and the fierce side of his heart.
Princess Claudia is the opposite. The old Count d'Estini, who was addicted to wine in his youth, never interfered with the education of his only daughter, and his laissez-faire gave the princess a heart close to nature. The princess was unrestrained when she was a child, and although her old father arranged a lot of pomp and circumstance for her, and hugged a large group of people, this was only a superficial phenomenon. The princess was a big ghost, and had a lot of ideas, and often had to sneak away to a secluded place or some secret place she had preset to play, and she offered not to follow them, and everyone refused to relax at first, but after a long time they were happy to be at ease. Anyway, all the people of Birti City knew the princess, and they all regarded her as a pearl and a hope. Whether rich or poor, old or children, Claudia can mingle with them.
While Bishop Mirière was telling the story of the 24602 prisoner, the princess and her maid Catherine kept talking to the poor man, and gradually the poor man's face showed a bright look, and the corners of his mouth rose to show a smiling posture.
Albert saw it clearly on the other side, a little jealous and a little angry in his heart, a little inexplicable and a little emotional. He couldn't help but wonder if he had a true affection for Claudia, or if he would have a good impression of her just because of national events.
He thought of some well-organized schemes arranged by the military advisor Tarren Crawford, and he recalled the impassioned speech and the touching posture of the princess when she first broke into the Earl's palace.
Albert thought about it and felt that he was still full of love for Claudia. Although there were other things at work on the subsequent visit, it did not affect my true feelings.
Princess Claudia's concern for the poor man, although he confused Albert, greatly appreciated the heart of Bishop Mirière, who, after retelling the life of the prisoner, said with a little emotion: "Now everything has to start anew, God has given each of us life, and God has given us the right to name each of us." The number 24602 is too mechanical, it carries too much suffering, we must get rid of it!"
"Your Excellency. Claudia said in understanding, "In that case, I have a good name in my heart that I don't know if it's appropriate or not?"
"Princess, please. Mirière looked even happier, and he added to the poor man with a smile, "Of course, in the end it is up to you to decide, because you are already free!"
"I think it's Adrian!" the princess blurted out.
"Charming, sensitive, thoughtful, wealthy. What a noble name, indeed!" Bishop Mirière nodded in agreement.
The 24602 prisoner stood up again, he reached out and grabbed Princess Claudia's arm again, and Albert was about to step forward again to pull away, but when he saw that the man unexpectedly led the princess to him, he said with a serious expression: "You are His Royal Highness Albert, right?" This is the most noble princess in my heart, I have entrusted her to you, you must take care of her!"
Albert didn't know how to answer for a moment. He stared at the prisoner in a daze, and did not say a word for a long time.
Bishop Mirière added later: "Your Excellency Adrian, she is indeed a princess, Princess Claudia, daughter of the Count of Destiny!"
The slave first came to his senses, and then he realized that he was now Adrian, and he was no longer prisoner 24602, and the angel and the bishop in front of him had given him the right to be reborn. He suddenly muttered to himself, "Since I am not a prisoner of 24602, then I should strive for my own happiness." What fuck your Highness Albert, what fuck dignitaries, the bishop is mine, and the angels are mine!"
He took Claudia's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
