Chapter 4: A Conspiracy That Seems to Work!
This time, even Duke Lawrence couldn't sit still, looking at Alan nervously. Lawrence regretted in his heart that Alan was still too young and arrogant. Even the idea of the church is beaten. If the church is so easy to deal with, why does the kingdom of Ammushi keep blocking the church from letting it in. Looking at Allen, who was at the center of the storm, Lawrence began to think about his way out. If Alan can't explain it, he can't fall into it with him.
Aha! Alan laughed wildly when he heard Sandra, and then scolded loudly: "Sandra, you dog, you actually rely on nothing to slander me, and those 50,000 gold coins are a thank you gift from Miss Elizabeth, the daughter of the Duke of Lorraine, for helping them." How dare you talk nonsense about this, if you don't explain it clearly today, I, Alan Ouranos, will duel with you!"
Seeing Alan's denial, Sandra shouted, "Humph! These 50,000 gold coins were handled by Sister Victoria of the church, if you don't believe it, you can call her over to confront her!"
Manuel looked at Alan solemnly and asked, "Lord Duke, are you really not in agreement with the church?"
Alan looked at Manuel and shook his head a little sadly: "William, I originally thought that we should be able to trust each other, but I didn't expect it."
Manuel looked at Allen, who looked regretful and lost, and couldn't help but feel a burst of self-blame in his heart, he actually doubted his comrades because of the group of gods in the church, which was really against the spirit of chivalry. But Manuel insisted: "I'm sorry, Alan. If you really betray His Majesty the King and betray Ambrosi, then we are enemies. But if you don't, I'll personally plead guilty to you. ”
At this time, Duke Bashir also spoke: "Duke Ouranos, is this matter true? If you admit it now, I will ask His Majesty the King to forgive you for your mistake and to give you a lenient sentence. "Bashir's originally extinguished ambition seems to have a resurgence at this time. If Alan really committed this incident, then the title of duke may not be guaranteed.
Alan glanced at Duke Lawrence, but Duke Lawrence looked away. Alan secretly cursed the old fox in his heart!
Looking at the crowd of people watching him around him, Alan didn't have a trace of weakness, and Lang smiled: "Okay! Since Sandra dares to spew blood, then I am not afraid of the truth being revealed. Go find Miss Victoria! No one can leave without making it clear today!"
Allen's performance greatly exceeded Sandra's expectations, and he didn't expect Allen to be so calm at this time. At this time, he could only believe that Alan was bluffing.
Sandra glanced at the Templar beside her, who nodded, and immediately set off for Hagia Sophia.
"Wait!" A voice stopped the Templars' movements.
I saw Manuel stand up and say, "I'll go too." After speaking, Manuel saluted Alan and said, "Lord Duke, as long as you are innocent, I will not let anyone wronged you, and I will not let anyone frame you."
Sandra snorted coldly when she heard Manuel's words on the side.
Alan looked at Manuel, nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Manuel's hand and said, "William, please trust me."
Manuel nodded, and rode down Lorraine with the Templars, while Alan and the rest of the group sat awkwardly with wide eyes. At this time, I don't know what to say or what to do. Everyone is thinking about the development of things and their own interests.
At the moment when the air was about to freeze, Jiawen opened his mouth first and said with a smile: "It seems that Lord Duke, your cooperation with the church is not very pleasant."
Alan snorted lightly and said, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, I have never cooperated with the church."
Gavin was not annoyed by Alan's attitude, but found it very interesting, although he didn't know how Alan was going to fight back against the church, but Gavin was full of confidence in Alan. Otherwise, Alan wouldn't be his opponent for Gavin Bourbon.
Victoria had a bad day, she had to get up before dawn every day, and before breakfast, she had to clean the entire backyard of the abbey. By the time she finished cleaning the backyard, she had already missed breakfast. Then comes the church has boring time for prayer and scripture study.
At noon, lunch must also be prepared. After lunch, you will also be responsible for washing the dishes. In the afternoon, I am also responsible for washing the clothes and other things of the entire monastery.
In the evening, dinner is also prepared and dishes are washed. When everything was done, it was already dark.
However, Victoria has never done any of these things since she was a child, thanks to her special identity and the talent she has shown. From an early age, Victoria was favored by the abbey Abbot Maria, and began to train as the abbot's successor. As a result, Victoria has always been the proud white swan of the monastery, and the ordinary nuns who have to do heavy and boring labor every day naturally do not like her.
Now Victoria has lost everything and is in the same situation as them. The nuns would no longer be submissive in front of her, but would often provoke and bully Victoria. Although there is an order from the dean's grandmother to dare not do anything out of the ordinary, but to do a little trick to bully and insult Victoria is something that everyone will be happy with.
At this time, Victoria is facing such a situation.
Joanna entered the abbey at the same time as Victoria. Originally, she was also very talented, and she was not inferior to Victoria in the study of scriptures or faith, or even better. But it was because of Victoria's special status that Joanna could only be subordinated to Victoria.
Coupled with Victoria's arrogant personality and nobody's attitude, Joanna became more and more dissatisfied with Victoria and became more and more hostile.
At this time, seeing Victoria squatting on the ground in pain, Joanna was extremely happy.
"Hurry up and clean up! What about playing dead?" A nun beside her yelled at Victoria.
Victoria took a deep breath and got up from the ground tremblingly. Picked up the broom that had fallen aside, and slowly swept the ground without a trace of dust.
Looking at Victoria's appearance, Joanna frowned. The nun on the side has been paying attention to Joanna's expression, since Victoria lost power, Joanna has become the first choice to inherit the dean, and the nun naturally has to stammer.
Seeing Joanna frowning, the nun raised her hand and slapped Victoria in the face. Victoria, who was already weak, could not stand and fell to the ground.
"What about playing dead? Hurry up!" The nun was about to kick it up.
This was a figure that suddenly rushed out from the side, and suddenly blocked in front of Victoria. "Don't bully my sister!" The figure was suddenly Elizabeth.
Elizabeth looked at Victoria, who was covered in dirt, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't cry!" Victoria shouted at Elizabeth. Although the tone was weak, the words were full of indescribable power.
Elizabeth sniffed and turned her head to stare at the nun.
The nun was a little furious in her heart, and she raised her hand and slapped Elizabeth again.
"Stop!" A shout of rage came from the doorway.
