Chapter Eighty-Four: The Duke Gets a Goddaughter
The elven assassin of the Crimson Rose did not lie, and the poison of the hundred days of drunkenness must have been solved in this way. But he actually deliberately distorted some facts, such as what conditions such as what must be done by the opposite sex, which are out of his words. He failed to assassinate the emperor, and endured severe torture in the dungeon, and his heart was already twisted and perverted. He is a hybrid of an Underground Elf and a Danse Elf, with dull skin, red eyes, and no place at either end. If Crimson Rose hadn't taken him in, I'm afraid he would have been exposed to the wilderness long ago.
He wants to meet his mother, and he wants to torture and play with these people who control their own destiny. He put forward this harsh and vicious condition in order to produce a trace of spiritual pleasure and pleasure in himself.
Three days later, Albert really recovered, he got out of bed with great agility under the joy of everyone, he told many stories about his dreams, and also hid some spring dreams that could not be shared with outsiders, and he felt refreshed, and felt that he had health again, and he had everything.
The old Duke of Borot and Bishop Benedict were also delighted, and they told the two key figures to the young Ah, one was the elven assassin in prison, and the other was Cosette, the waitress of the brown bear tavern who was still in a coma.
Albert only let out a sigh of relief to the elven assassins, and to Cosette, he let out a long exclamation. It is a miracle that such a weak woman gave herself a new lease of life, and that she had done this work so boldly, calmly, and calmly in spite of her personal safety and personal honor, that some men could not accomplish it!
In order to take care of his life-saving benefactor Cosette, Lao Bao specially arranged for her to sleep in his room, and he set up a few chairs at random beside his son's bed these days to rest haphazardly.
Cosette, who was unconscious, turned even paler, but there was always a smile on her lips. Her hair was scattered over the pillow, and her neck was as small as a matchstick. She ate less and dried, and there was no sign of growing flesh on her body. Youth is the best season for a girl, but she is like a man who does rough work, and she has worn out all the feminine characteristics that she should have.
Albert looked at this bloodless face, and his heart was very heavy. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke the few strands of slightly yellowed hair. The image of Princess Claudia of the country of Destini kept appearing in front of his eyes, the current countess, who was born with a plate of good-looking blonde hair, a jade phoenix hairpin on her head swaying gently, and a duck egg face showing a little anger from time to time.
Compared with Princess Claudia, there is really a world of difference between this Cosette in front of her, even compared to the princess's maid Catherine, it is 108,000 miles away.
The only eyes on Cosette's face that could move were closed at the moment, so that Albert couldn't find anything to make his heart move. But as long as he looked at the corners of his mouth with a slight smile, his mind could not calm down.
When he was in a coma, he had many spring dreams that he felt ashamed of now when he thought about it. Whether it's Princess Claudia, Cosette, or even some women whose names they never know come to him. It's easy to be overwhelmed by that gentle and wealthy country, and so is His Highness Albert. At the moment of temptation, how could he not be moved? He shouldered family and state affairs, and although he had reached the age of marriage, he never thought too much about this important matter of his life.
When he was in the country of Destinibe, he had a time when he was very infatuated with Princess Claudia, but due to various factors, the other party never sat down and had a good talk with him. Now that she has become a countess, this matter is basically over, although Xiao A's tenderness still retains so much, but as time goes by, it will eventually rain and blow away, and finally not leave a trace.
The old Duke Borot did not think about his son's marriage, but he was one of the electors, a high and powerful position, and there were many people who flattered him, but there were no sincere people. He simply decided to let his son think for himself, and was not prepared to interfere with anything.
Lao Bao is very open-minded, the future daughter-in-law does not necessarily need a good family background, and does not have to force the other party to be a duke or earl, his only condition is that the other party must sincerely love his son, rather than valuing the power and wealth behind it. He did the same with Albert's tutor, fearing that his current overly privileged living conditions would make his son a playboy. Fortunately, Xiao Ah did not live up to his father's hard work, he regarded love as sacred, and was not ready to treat it as a child's play.
Father and son's feelings for Cosette now almost coincide. They are full of pity and sympathy for their sufferings and misfortunes, and they are full of gratitude and admiration for their unhesitating efforts to help them. They wanted to change her fate and prevent her from going to the Brown Bear Tavern to endure the foul language.
Lao Bao summed up, it is better to buy a maid for Mrs. Charlotte who is far away in Birty City, and after thinking about it, he decided to let Mrs. Charlotte take her as a goddaughter, and all the food and clothing are on par with Albert, and in a few years, find a good family to marry, which can be regarded as the best reward for him.
Albert agreed with his father, and he took Cosette's small, calloused hand from her sleep, and silently prayed to heaven that she would wake up soon.
Benedict did not forget his gentleman's agreement, and he was to be accompanied by Old Bao to the palace to negotiate with Deliotot about escorting the elven assassin to Danse Forest to meet his mother.
Duke Borot said with an embarrassed face: "It is difficult for outsiders to guess the emperor's thoughts. He promised so happily at the time, but now he may not be able to fulfill this promise. I'm willing to go with you to persuade you, but the results may be disappointing. ”
"I expect His Majesty the Emperor to agree. Although this guy is a heinous kingkiller, he is just a sharp knife that has been used, although sharp but without a brain. The emperor's primary concern was not who would kill him, but why he should be killed, and who would instigate it. The crimson rose is just a sprout, and all clues are worth looking for. The elven assassin is a half-blood, and if he fulfills his requirements, he may be able to catch something else unexpected, which the emperor wants to see. ”
In addition to the feast, one of the most important tasks of Benedict's trip was to go to the Danse Forest to take the lead, paving the way for the Pope's arrival in the future. As the leader of the spiritual world of the entire Bodi Continent, Pontifical Damasus plans to unite all the forces that can be united, take precautions and prepare for the fight against the Mind Flayer. The fall of the Orentte Empire, though far away, is not to be taken lightly. Elven druids are adept at merging with the animals of the natural world, and they are likely to be the best weapons against the Mind Flayer.
The elven assassin offered to go south to meet his mother, which was exactly what the cardinal wanted.
Benedict expected the Emperor not to refuse, and he was a little more perceptive than Duke Borot on certain matters. Although it is difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts, it is not completely unfounded. As long as you put yourself in Diliot's shoes, you can sometimes get a glimpse of it.
And so it turned out, and the Emperor readily agreed to have the cardinal escort the criminal to the Danse Forest to see his mother one last time. The Emperor instructed Benedict to be cautious along the way, and when he arrived at the Forest of Danse, he should inquire about the details of this half-blood elf, and it would be better to ask his mother about his father's whereabouts.
Defot said of the Killer Order: "I have a vague feeling that my predecessor was probably killed by the Assassins they sent out. The Arena assassination is no longer just a separate case, and I have made up my mind to completely cut off the organization behind the scenes. Prime Minister Carignan is also investigating, and the results should be available in the next few days. ”
Deliot said, pursed his lips, and said to Lao Bao: "The matter at the banquet is that General Iros is too reckless, I will accompany you on his behalf, you two are my ministers, everyone must work together to plan the future of the Tamborance Empire, don't think about fighting each other all day long!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare. General Iros, of course, has a problem with narrow-mindedness, but he still has some ability. Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not take this matter seriously. Let him pass the past!"
Del Elliot nodded in satisfaction, and he was concerned about Albert's condition again: "How is your son recovering, and are there any follow-up effects?"
"No, he's the same as usual, moving and thinking clearly, and thanks to the help of the waitress at the Brown Bear Tavern, we've been able to get out of this situation. Your Majesty, please give the owner of the Brown Bear Tavern some reward, after all, he took in the kind waitress. ”
"That's natural, he saved the heir of the Duchy of Borot, and this credit is not small. The Emperor said with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have decided to take that waitress as my goddaughter, and find her a good family in the future, and it will not be in vain to be kind. ”
"Naturally, naturally, this is your family affair, duke, and you don't have to report it to me. The Emperor stretched his hands and shook his neck. He has stayed up late to work on state affairs in the past few days, and he has never stepped into the queen's bedroom.
It is precisely because of the ancient talents that have been tempered more, and fame and fortune have never been as good as idleness, and if you want to know the future, you will continue next time.
