Chapter XVII: Arthur the Messenger

Ferco, who fell into a coma again, was carried back to his room by two male servants.

Count Sandria, with an ugly smile at Bulray and Tsepes, also turned away.

However, the whole plan of Cepes, with little finishing touches, required Count Sandria to cooperate with his performance.

"Uncle Sandria, allow me to say sorry to you again.

I know I've hurt Filco and disgraced you and your family.

Although all this is for the sake of great love, I am also willing to be punished for it. โ€

Cepes stopped Count Sandria, his words were extremely sincere, and the expression on his face was full of guilt.

He continued: "The rushing Vedea River gave birth to the great Nightingale Castle.

I am willing to bathe in the rushing Vedea River, and let the icy waters take away the essence of my life.

In this way, I want to punish myself to express my apologies to the Sandria family. โ€

Tsepes admits that he has been thickened lately, and he even described bathing as a harsh punishment.

However, from the perspective of the people of this era, Tsepeche's approach can be described as full of sincerity.

At this time, people believed that bathing would bring diseases, and running water would take away people's vitality, so they did not take baths for many months.

So in their opinion, Tsepes is really guilty about this matter, so he treats himself so harshly.

There are many people who watch the excitement, and they all give a thumbs up to Cepes, admiring him as a true man who dares to love, hate, and take responsibility.

At this time, Bulray frowned and said, "Tepesh, forget the punishment, we are about to set off." โ€

"Thank you, Envoy, for your kindness to me, but if you don't, I'm afraid my heart will follow me for the rest of my life."

No one wants to stop me from taking a shower, how pleasant it is to take a cold shower on a hot day.

Tsepes's eyes were firm, his expression was resolute, and he knew by his appearance that no one could change his decision.

For several days, he complained that the smell in the air was unpleasant.

And among them, the source of a considerable part of the odor is himself.

Searching the memories of the original owner, there are no fragments of bathing, which is a portrayal of Europe throughout the fifteenth century.

Now that he has finally found a reasonable reason to take a bath, Cepes will definitely not give up the opportunity.

Seeing Tsepesh's performance in his eyes, Count Sandria's expression was a little more relieved.

"There's no need for you to do this, Tsepes, I don't mean to blame you." Count Sandria said slowly.

"Uncle Sandria, don't persuade me. If I may, I would like to ask for your permission for a small request. โ€

"Say Cepes, there's something I can do for you."

"I want to get in touch with Miss Gina as soon as possible, but I have to go to Targoviste.

I don't have the skills to do it, so I want Arthur to be my messenger and be responsible for delivering the correspondence between me and Miss Gina. โ€

The ultimate goal was finally said lightly by Cepes.

With the pretext of delivering love letters, Arthur was able to meet with Cepes from time to time to report back to him on the progress of the secret forces.

This is equivalent to using love as a shield again to apply for a freedom pass for Arthur.

A reasonable request, without anyone's suspicion, Count Sandria agreed, and Braye said nothing.

The noisy morning of duels also ended in this way.

Watching the lively people, each going about his own business, and some people were idle and had nothing to do, and followed Tepes to the banks of the Vedeya.

The Videa River is a tributary of the Danube, with clear water and no turbulent currents, making it a great place to escape the heat and take a bath.

When they came to the river, Tsepech began to undress, and Arthur leaned over to him and whispered, "Tsepeche, my best friend, this friendship will always be in my heart." โ€

"It's no big deal, don't stay and watch the fun, go to your mother and let her fulfill yesterday's deal.

If you can get some more money from her, it's best if you try it yourself. โ€

Sending Arthur away, ignoring the dozens of people who were visiting the shore, Cepes moved his limbs, and plunged into the river.

The cool feeling made him extremely comfortable, so he took a bath in the river as if no one was around.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to make a bath towel, otherwise he would definitely be able to reap a lot of loot if he was old for more than ten years.

The people who watched the bustle by the river, and when they saw that Tsepeลก was meticulous and punished himself, he could not help but sigh in his heart

Tepes, a real man!

After bathing, changing into clean clothes brought by the Greek maids, and under the gaze of everyone, Tepes returned to the castle.

At this time, he deliberately showed a listless appearance as an adverse reaction to the bath.

Seeing that Tsepesh was like this, Braye did not ask to hurry immediately, but asked Tsepesh to hurry back to his room and have a good rest.

It didn't take long for Arthur to knock through the front door and come in, with tears in his eyes, he was really touched by Cepes.

"Did you get the money?" Cepes asked straight to the point.

Arthur nodded, and poured out a small pile of golden coins from the linen bag he had carried with him.

Then he said with some guilt: "There are only fifty gold coins, and I can't get more than half." โ€

"It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, I'll think of something else.

Let's talk about the next arrangement. โ€

Tsepes motioned for Arthur to put the gold coins away, and then continued:

"In a moment, you will go to Miss Gina and tell her that you don't need to worry about her engagement to Ferco.

You remember, don't tell her about recruiting secret troops, and don't let the news leak out.

Then you find Davar according to the location where I and these Ottomans were that night, in a nearby village. Agapia is the little groom I told you about earlier. โ€

"Are you sure you really want me to work with that little groom?"

Arthur interrupts Cepes, apparently still haunted by Davar's identity.

"I'm pretty sure and I hope you believe in Davar too.

Just because he comes from a humble background doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve our trust. โ€

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, what should I do when I find him?"

"Find him, explain who you are and what you mean, and if he doesn't believe him, write this symbol to him."

Tsepes took a quill and wrote 'Six-Six-Six' on vellum paper, waiting for Arthur to remember before crossing out the handwriting.

Then Tsepesh, while writing a fake love letter to Miss Gina, continued:

"Davar has no military training, and the task of training them is left to you.

If there are more experienced veterans in the team, let the veterans be responsible.

All this is arranged, you come to me, and don't forget to bring a love letter when you come, I am afraid that the Ottomans will secretly check it.

The next time we meet, you'll let me know the progress of the clandestine force's recruitment, and then we'll make the next steps.

Also, don't take out all the gold coins in your hand at once, take out ten first, and then take out ten when you run out.

Whether it's eating or buying weapons, don't be stingy with money, and of course, don't be extravagant. โ€

I told everything I could think of for the time being, and I wrote a fake love letter to Gina.

Tsepesch folded the letter, handed it to Arthur, and continued:

"That's all for now, wait and go, and when you see Gina, you can tell that you wrote the letter.

I'm sure Miss Gina will be moved to kiss your lips after reading the letter. โ€

Arthur blushed slightly, then took the letter and prepared to go out.

After taking two steps, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and said:

"By the way, my baronial cousin would like to get in touch, he has a few knights under his command who can take care of the usual training."

Yesterday the Countess offered the terms of the transaction, in addition to the gold coins, the allegiance of a certain baron.

Tsepes thought for a moment and said, "Is it trustworthy?" โ€

"I should be able to trust that I will test my tone in advance, just as you tested mine yesterday."

"Okay, the autonomy is up to you, be mature, and don't be as easily deceived as a child."

Nodding slightly, Arthur strode out of the room to complete the task given to him by Cepes.
