"I'm just curious about how much more she can hide in her next dress." After feeling the dull pain coming from his lower back, John changed the subject very sensibly.

Evelei, holding a half-sword in her hand, swallowed and aimed the blade at the girl's inner lining.

"Wait!"

The girl whimpered, "Let go of me...... I...... I surrender ......"

"Evelei! Pick her up, or it's not safe! ”

"Wait, ma'am...... I don't have anything else on me......" The girl turned her head in some fear and begged for mercy from Kalujie, "I, I'm willing to do anything, don't ...... Don't be here......"

"Hey! That's right, ma'am! Strip her clean, and beware of her hiding another knife and scratching your charming face! ”

A few drunkards who couldn't keep their mouths in their mouths answered the way, and with the help of alcohol, they were not aware of the subtle changes in the tense atmosphere caused by the arrival of the royal family. Of course, the city defense army in front of the emperor will definitely make them immediately understand what etiquette is.

"Enough! Miss Carlujie, I don't think you would mind having the worldly knight escort this girl who offended you to the castle dungeon, would you? Even if she was full of weapons, would she be able to treat Morey and them? Sophia glanced at the little girl who was begging for mercy in disgust, "You are really a master of art and daring to commit a crime in Gombrigne. ”

Morey took two worldly knights to greet Sophia, and then took the girl from Kalujie's hand. Of course, in order to appease the woman's current anger, they inevitably used some tricks on the little girl.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, and Carujie followed the John siblings out of the Frostdew Tavern.

"Tell me what's going on...... John, with Evely's help, sat on his shoulder, his face full of helplessness, "You're now a member of my second cabinet, a female noblewoman who should be respected!" Kalujie! Why did you just run out into the street and compete with a little thief? ”

"Thief?" No matter how much Kalujie drank last night, at least now it seemed that she was not drunk in the slightest, "Your Majesty, do you think this girl is just a thief?" ”

"Didn't she steal your purse? You went to bet on horses yesterday with a group of idle market sprawlers, and you lost a mess? John shrugged, "You're not going to take the money bag with the Golden Ducater and get stolen by the girl, are you?" ”

"If she did steal the purse, it would be better to say something." Kalujie pulled out a linen bag from the center of her open neckline. As if ostentatiously, he swept it in front of John, "The gypsy woman is covered in thorns, and that girl has chosen the wrong opponent this time." She took this. ”

John took the identical bag from Carlujie's other hand, but could not open the opening that was sealed with rope. After looking at it for a long time, I suddenly felt that my right hand seemed to be entangled in something.

"Your Majesty, there is a thin, barely visible thread on that bag that connects my little finger, and someone wants to steal it, but be prepared to pay the price." Kalujie retrieved the bag and put it in her pocket, "There are only a few bits and pieces of silver in it, and it is really nothing to steal it from the little girl, but that girl is different from ordinary thieves." ”

The Tavern of Frostdew is not far from Fort Combrigna, and the simple daily life of the citizens has suppressed John's originally irritable mood a lot.

"Say hello in person...... Stay in the castle and feed the eagles, and be idle every day. ”

"Aren't you working on your great plans?" Kalujie sneered.

"My dear sister will take care of it, now let's get off, beautiful lady."

Sextus was napping in the center of the hall, and the Chapel of God's Wish was being renovated, and for the sake of the sanctity of the Chapel and the whole diocese as a symbol of faith, Sextus made a special trip to Venice to buy back from the shameful merchants some of the goods that had been plundered from Hagia Sophia and Santa Maria Maggiore. It even includes the long-lost Altarpiece of Paradorho.

The archbishop wore the brocade and gold-trimmed Holy Cross robes for a rare time, and compared to his usual somewhat gloomy face, he looked quite holy at this time. The sunlight shining from the mosaic panes fell on his hands, and it smelled of holy light falling from heaven.

"Ah...... Your Majesty, may the glory of the Lord be with you. ”

"As I wish, Your Majesty."

"Your meeting today should have started a few hours ago, right?"

"I'm sorry that there was a little accident. Of course...... Hopefully, it didn't waste too much of your precious time. ”

After everyone was seated one by one, the two secular knights brought the desperate girl into the main hall.

"Your name, where did it come from?" John asked aloud with his arm half-leaning on his arm.

Interrogating prisoners was not something he was good at, and so far he had only teased the little girl as entertainment.

"Remy of Anriwang."

"An Riwang?"

"A small village next to Smederevo, Serbia, was razed to the ground the last time you laid siege to Smederevo. We need to clear a way for the supply troops, but there is a small fortress in Anriwang...... You know, in times of war, this kind of thing cannot be avoided. Jeffrey whispered beside John, "The hill fort is a little baron's domain, and there is a garrison, but our army has razed it to the ground in half an afternoon. ”

"Probably not the bastard daughter of the baron, right? This kind of thing happened to me twice, and I'm going to bet on horses tomorrow too. John also whispered.

"You'll have to ask her......" Jeffrey turned his head to look at Remy, "why do you dare to be a street burglar?" ”

"I have nothing to eat, do I have to starve to death?" Remy bit her lip and said angrily, "I should have stabbed you to death with a dagger...... I'm not going to get caught...... You're a woman alone...... It's even more slippery than a loach......"

Kalujie's face did not change, but the guards on the side nervously put their spears on Remy's neck.

"Before my poor compassion is exhausted, you can make a confession to alleviate your sinful little girl. It's stupid to speak disrespectfully. ”

"Repentance to you? You, and you! Remy suddenly pointed his finger at John, and frightened the secular knights again, "Why don't you let your soldiers make a confession!" They...... They ......"

"This is necessary for war, no one needs to repent, the lord to whom I owe allegiance to your family, was on the opposite side at the beginning, it was as simple as that. Little girl. "So it was necessary for them to rape my mother in front of my father and then kill them?" "They're not soldiers, they're just milkmen and millers on farms!" ”
