While Loren was still stunned by the reply of the little priest Weber, Charlotte, who finally mustered up her courage after a long consideration, also went to the wizarding guild accompanied by Lena de Salion.

More precisely, in Ain's room.

The little wizard was almost as nervous as the three of them, pursed their lips and had their own thoughts, and they were silent until the hot potion in the test tube became cold.

"Al Ain......

After a long time, even when Lena couldn't help but stand up and break the silence, Charlotte, who was clenching her teeth, finally raised her head, her chest rising and falling violently.

"Hmm. ”

The little wizard, who was also in a complicated mood, looked at her nervously.

"I... I thought about it for a long time, and I thought about it a lot—in fact, originally, originally, I had the fundamental courage to come to see you, I was afraid, apprehensive, hesitant, but I couldn't help but breathe, I just don't know how many emotions lingered in my mind!"

The countess, who pursed the corners of her mouth and paused, looked at her with burning eyes: "But one thing I'm sure of is that the moment I walked in this door, I... Charlotte Turin... I'm not here to apologize to you. ”

"It may be abrupt, there may be something about my self-righteousness and impulsiveness, but I didn't do anything wrong - no matter what he thinks, I love him, so I'll do everything I can to get him!"

When they heard the word "get", Lena and Al Yin blushed almost at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they silently looked at Charlotte, who did not flinch in the slightest, and even took it for granted.

Byrne's tradition is truly the home of knights... Probably.

Lifting the frame, Lena couldn't help but think.

"No, that's right, that's what I thought. ”

Looking at the countess, the little wizard who had not yet recovered from the nervousness stammered: "Charlotte, you are doing the right thing, there is nothing wrong with pursuing what you want. ”

"Especially for big scams... I mean, Loren's kind of guy has to be more proactive, tougher!"

After speaking, she also symbolically waved her pink fist, and a smile of encouragement squeezed out of the corner of her mouth.

Well?

This kind of reply made the two of them stunned.

Although it is not that he does not know the personality of the little wizard, although Isaac has emphasized over and over again, "Ain is the kind of person who will be happy for a long time when he is happy, and he is a fool for a minute when he is angry"......

But when I really learned her attitude from Ain's mouth, I was still at a loss.

"Ain, you misunderstood, we are not here to express our stance to you today, we are ......"

After a moment's hesitation, Lina, who glanced at Charlotte, explained, but when she saw the little wizard's pure, sapphire eyes, she hesitated again.

What are we going to do?

Of course, it was to calm Ain's mood before this wedding, and at the same time, it would not cause Byrne's heart to be confused because the wedding could not be held.

But the little wizard was very much in favor of Charlotte's decision, and there were signs of injury at all.

This is by no means pretended... Lena de Salion knew very well that she was very sure that Ain at this time not only did not have any sadness or sadness, but was even happy for Charlotte.

If she didn't have such a vision and wisdom, she would not have been able to live alone in the imperial capital for many years without owing many debts.

But in the face of the little wizard's gaze, Lena wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know. ”

The earnest but decisive words rang out, and they seemed extremely abrupt in the quiet of the laboratory.

"I know, Ain. Raising her eyebrows, Charlotte looked at the little wizard with a bland expression: "I understand your current mood, and I understand why you made this decision." ”

Hearing this, Ain was shocked.

"We've been together for so long, we've seen each other, we've discussed it together so many times that it's enough for me to see you for who you are... Of course, I didn't see it completely, otherwise I wouldn't be where we are today. ”

"Don't deny it, because you know it too—Al Ain, please don't suspect that I'm doing this because I feel guilty about you; ”

Staring at those pure and flawless eyes, Charlotte said word by word: "And now... Believe me, there is no other person in the world who knows you so well besides me, not even you, not even Loren. ”

"So don't refuse my kindness, it's not a compensatory to you, it's a plan we've worked out carefully - just like I promised Loren, I want him, but I don't need him to love me. ”

The decisive and sharp words interrupted the thinking of the other two.

Unlike the little wizard who was shocked and blushed, Lena de Salion was more interested in Charlotte's earlier words.

There is no other person in the world who knows Al Yin so well besides her......

What do you mean?

Could it be that Charlotte in the past actually had a good impression of Ain... Lena couldn't help but think so.

An alchemist, an Earl of the Red Blood Castle... Because the same person came together, but because the same person couldn't let go of his heart, the contact again and again was exchanged for a farther distance from each other, and there was a tossing and turning, difficult to choose admiration......

That's a very discouraging result.

No... Wrong.

If that's the case, it seems even more interesting......

Lena de Salion, who was free-thinking, didn't notice the smile on her lips at all.

..............................

At the same time, Loren was still immersed in shock at the words of the little priest Weber.

In the past few years, because of what he has seen and heard, and all the things he has seen, he has basically decided that there is not much difference between the impression of this world and his previous life, at least in the feudal Middle Ages, there is not much difference in the "concept of sacred marriage".

But now a bishop of the Holy Cross told him that there was no such thing at all—neither the Church nor the Imperial Code had ever imposed that marriage must be monogamous.

Of course, what Loren didn't know was that in the feudal Middle Ages in his previous life, he never demanded that he must be monogamous......

"In fact, there is no shortage of similar examples of polygamy in the history of the empire – of course, none of them turned out very well. The little priest frowned slightly, and patiently explained:

"Like the sixth-generation 'sage' Brandon I, he married the heir of the Duchy of Arles while the original queen was still alive, hoping to win over the Duchy of Arles in this way and completely integrate into the imperial system. ”

"That's... The result?" asked Loren.

"It's a pity that although Her Majesty the Queen herself at that time expressed her understanding, Her Majesty's family couldn't at all. Webb shook his head:

"A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the queen of Arles also won a lot of support, plus both queens gave birth to a son... This civil war, which almost turned into a civil war and ended in forcing Emperor Brandon I to retire Empress Arles, was the greatest stain on His Majesty's life. ”

The indifferent expression of the little priest Webb made the black-haired wizard stiffen.

So although there is no clear code requirement, this is also an unwritten rule, an unspoken rule. Weber said softly: "For both parties to the marriage, they value the covenant and benefits that marriage brings, so if the man marries a new wife, it will be a betrayal of the covenant in the eyes of the woman's family." ”

"But these things are not what we are going to talk about today - to tell you the truth, I was still thinking about how to persuade you to give up the idea of marrying the Archduchess of Boy......" Webber laughed: "Now it seems that it is unnecessary, it turns out that you are really pure comrades-in-arms, I misunderstood." ”

"......" Loren Turin.

Looking at the black-haired wizard's expression full of black lines and not knowing how to explain it, the little priest Webb breathed a sigh of relief.

The renunciation of all worldly authority does not mean that Weber is truly indifferent to the outside world - after parting ways with the Holy Cross Church, the Byrne Church has become a de facto vassal of the Duchy of Byrne.

Weber didn't care about this, all he cared about was that the Holy Cross Church, which had completed the reform, could truly become what he wanted to be—a church that led the people with faith and morality, and who did not need power at all, and who could be supported and followed by believers.

If Loren really decided to marry the Archduke of the Scimitar, the little priest was very worried that things would turn into the rebellion of the Celestial Dome Palace in the sixth generation - whether it was Charlotte or the Duchess of Boi, their greatest strength was strength, and their greatest weakness was also strength.

Even if two people are willing to back down to each other, their respective forces will never be, and even the best outcome will be unhappy, or even turn into a war between Byrne and Boe.

At present, the Byrne Church is still very weak, and if Loren and the Duchy of Byrne behind him are weakened, it will be equivalent to the Byrne Church losing its last barrier, and it will not be able to face the storm from the Holy Cross Church.

As a devout believer, Weber was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that everything he had done was meaningless and would disappear like smoke and dust after his death, and that all his efforts would not only fail to succeed, but would be completely denied, leaving those who came after him without the courage to move forward.

A "kingdom on earth" that lives under the rule of the Church everywhere, where all interpretations are attributed to the Holy Cross, and which is eternal and unchanging, is what is truly feared by the little clergy—a kingdom in which believers are completely deprived of even the right to question and understand the scriptures, let alone rebel.

"But speaking of which, Charlotte and Lena told me about their plans for a wedding in ten days. Weber changed his words:

"She should have told you about it herself, but it's ...... me too."

..............................

"Married?!"

The little wizard blurted out looked at Charlotte and Lena with a stunned expression.

"Yes, you heard it right. Blushing slightly, the countess of the Red Blood Castle nodded solemnly:

"Originally, according to the plan, I was going to use this unexpected way to force Loren Turin, a bastard... Promise me to use this opportunity to integrate Byrne's forces at the same time, but the plan can't keep up with the change;"

"The appearance of the crimson dragon Grum has pushed Loren and the entire Byrne to the forefront - the jealousy of the Heavenly Dome, the hostility of the Church, and the many unrealistic ideas of the Byrne Knights, if the Turin family becomes stronger at this time, it will only attract the suppression of the Empire. ”

"It's a time of war, and the authority of the Heavenly Dome and the Emperor is stronger than in peacetime, and it is possible to weaken us without even a reason to extort more supplies, or to garrison our army in a fortress that is absolutely undefensible. Charlotte sighed:

"So in the future, we must not be too public, but we must not show weakness and make the Heavenly Dome Palace think that we are weak and can be bullied - this is also to protect Loren. ”

"Luckily, although the wedding was announced, we didn't say whose wedding it was. The countess's expression finally relaxed: "This leaves us room for it." ”

"So, Isaac and I are going to 'shine'!"

Lena de Salion curled the corners of her mouth with a reverie of the infinite relationship between the little wizard and Charlotte: "I'm very sorry, but this time the bride is not any of you, but me. ”

"You?" The little wizard was even more stunned, "You want to marry Isaac in public?!"

"That's right, a de Salion marries a wizard—I'll go down in history for that. Lina's expression was very smug at this time:

"Isaac is Duke Byrne's most important friend, and to a certain extent, a representative of the wizarding community - when I married him, Duke Byrne was making a formal request for an 'alliance' to the Heavenly Dome, or the royal family. ”

"But... But ......" the little wizard stammered: "Heavenly Dome Palace... Your family... Royal house... I mean the Emperor, can they agree with you?!"

"Surely not in my family, but Conod certainly - it will be profitable for him and will ease the resentment of the wizards in the Empire;" Lena shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly:

"When a wizard becomes the son-in-law of the royal family, it greatly invigorates the loyalty of the wizards to the empire, making them feel that they are valued by the empire, that their status has been improved, and that their dignity has been taken care of... Well, though it's really just thinking about it. ”

"I'm going to get this, and I'm going to get that... What's the pity of a royal family who is not taken seriously, or even treated as half a traitor?"

"So I'm sorry, this beautiful wedding is mine. The triumphant Lena de Salion deliberately spoke in an apologetic tone:

"Of course, as your mutual friend, of course, I will also give you a little compensation, such as ......"

"Who do you think will care about Duke Byrne's wedding when a wizard and a royal marriage come out?"
