Chapter 8: Rumors

The pace of life in the Shelley Empire is slow, and once you get used to this lifestyle, you will fall into this rhythm, breakfast, reading, lunch, lunch break, afternoon tea, dinner, after-dinner walks, and then a ride around the center of the empire.

Because of Hilda's introduction, Zhou Han also mingled between the aristocracy and the wealthy merchants, various salons, dinners, and activities for the entertainment of the upper class.

No one knows what this Stephen Chow came from.

During this time, Zhou Han had nothing to gain except for learning to ride a horse, and in his spare time he could ride a horse and wander around his manor.

And the plan to teach Hilda the occult was extremely difficult.

Zhou Han is usually picked up by Harry's guards in the afternoon and goes to the Imperial Palace.

It was in the chapel of Hilda's dormitory, where he stood with the priest standing, with a statue of the Lord God behind him, and Hilda sat on a bench, recording with a quill dipped in ink.

Why do you want to guess this model, Zhou Han explained to Hilda that this is what the instructors taught him when he practiced the occult.

The chapel was quite empty, and Harry was guarding the door, so it was impossible for anyone to come in and disturb them.

On one side of the chapel is a stained glass window, and the colorful light falls on the mottled mahogany benches, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

"Would it be okay to ask you a question, Her Royal Highness Princess Hilda. Zhou Han stood on top and said to Hilda.

Hilda, bathed in the seven-colored sun, wore a white wide-brimmed hat that reflected the girl's youth and brightness, and she said, "Sir is light, I will try to answer." β€œ

"Why is this church so dilapidated? ”

Hilda was silent, she raised her face, and said to Zhou Han: "You know too much about my secrets, but I still don't know anything about you, it's better to tell you the answer, and you also answer me a question." ”

Zhou Han nodded.

Hilda somehow had a feeling that she was suffering all the time in front of this man, and this was not her character at all.

"When I was very young, my mother left me in despair, and since then, I have given up praying and there is no one to take care of it. After Hilda finished speaking, she bent her head to look at Zhou Han, and her eyes were the indifference she used to disguise.

"I'm sorry to touch your wounds. Zhou Han told Hilda that under the life of a drunken gold fan, she had nowhere to talk about her tragic fate.

"It's okay, Mr. Stephen, it's been a long time, it's time for you to answer my question. ”

"Okay. ”

"Where the hell are you from, I want to hear the truth. ”

Zhou Han sighed, this kind of thing can't be explained to Hilda at all, the worldview of the two is like a cloud and mud, he said: "I come from a very distant continent, where people believe in the occult and live the same life as you, they also worry about life and fight against fate, but their beliefs are different. ”

"Are your people as weird as you?" said Hilda, solemnly.

"Weird, what is the specific performance?" Zhou Han glanced at his crotch, the zipper was closed, and the pants were not worn backwards, he really couldn't understand the weirdness in Hilda's mouth.

"I've come into contact with necromancers, rangers, and even bards, who are already aliens in the eyes of ordinary people, but sir, I can't describe them, they feel so weird, like 'mathematics is the essence of all things', I believe that no one will say such words even in another 10,000 years. ”

"This is the basis of the occult. ”

"Can these things really be put into practice, or is it just your imagination?"

"It can be applied to practice, but it takes an extremely long time to practice, and it's not a fantasy, it's truth, it's wisdom. Zhou Han was slightly touched.

Hilda laughed, and she said, "True wisdom is found in the Psalms, and it is wisdom that poets write about nature and history in short lines of poetry that have been passed down through the ages, so that people in desperate situations will have courage when they see these stories." ”

Zhou Han also smiled, that is also wisdom, it is the wisdom of human nature, and the wisdom of the occult naturally carries its cold and rigorous attributes, but how should this be explained to Hilda?

The crisis started with rumors, and what Zhou Han didn't know was that he had already caused gossip from some people.

At the same time that Zhou Han was teaching the occult to Hilda, in the luxurious tea restaurant of the Empire.

"Do you know? Her Royal Highness the Princess has adopted a mistress. A noble young woman said to another noble young woman, her face was covered with three layers of powder, and her whole expression was slightly weird.

The other young woman held a silver pipe in her mouth and said slowly, "Lady Berez, I have heard for a long time, what is strange about this, you had three mistresses when you were young. ”

"Don't mention, Lady Emma, at least I didn't have a marriage contract when I was in style. ”

"I really didn't expect that His Excellency Duke Kelsen was cuckolded before he got married, hahahaha. Emma chuckled softly.

"That little bitch should have slashed her face with a knife a few times, look at her foxy look, I knew she wasn't a good thing since I was a child. Beres said viciously, and the white powder on the old woman's face fell down, revealing the yellow wrinkles.

"Just wait to see the jokes of the Green family, this marriage is personally assigned by His Majesty, the Duke of Celtic is the only seedling of the Dulu family, in the past hundred years, the Dulu family is in full swing, and the business has been done in the Holy Empire, it is rumored that the wealth of the Dulu family is ten times that of the royal family, and it is implicated in the church, if the Dulu family cannot be suppressed, the royal family can only win over the Dulu family, the Duke of Celt is very greedy for Her Royal Highness the princess, Your Majesty did not think about it, and gave the princess to the Duke of Celtic, although the marriage contract has not been officially held, but the people of the whole empire know that Her Royal Highness Princess Hilda is the fiancΓ©e of Celtic, I didn't expect that there is such a thing now。 ”

When the rumors go wild, the three of them can become tigers, not to mention the discussion of a large group of noble ladies in the empire who are full of food and have nothing to do, and chew their tongues behind their backs.

It is rumored that Her Royal Highness Princess Hilda has purchased a large luxury estate for her mistress, and it is indeed true, Zhou Han will ride horses in the Canter Manor every day, sometimes rowing in the lake, and he does not hide it at all.

It is rumored that the lover of Her Royal Highness the bewitching princess will go in and out of the palace every day, and those long-tongued women will personally inquire in the name of entering the palace to pay respects, and the fact is also the same, Zhou Han must go to Hilda's bedroom every day.

It is even rumored that Her Royal Highness Princess Hilda, the young princess, sings with her lover night and night, and is absurd.

Zhou Han sensed that something was wrong beside her, Hilda was in the imperial capital, she knew better what was going on, but she didn't seem to care, as if she wasn't worried about what kind of disaster it would bring.

Duke Celtic Duroux, a middle-level silver warrior, the only lineage of the Duroux family, he was born in a wealthy merchant family, and his appearance is quite dignified, he is arrogant and arrogant, and no one puts it in his eyes, only for Hilda, of course, love can also make people crazy, and people's eyes are blinded by love.

Zhou Han didn't know why he was involved in the whirlpool of this political marriage, since he couldn't figure it out, and the reason was still messy, then he would simply smash everything, smash it to pieces with his fists, and tell those hypocritical and ignorant nobles that I am not your command!

The weather gradually turned cooler, and Zhou Han happened to be infected with a cold that day, so he asked for leave with Hilda and did not go to the palace.

And by chance, Celtic went to the royal palace.

In fact, the news had come out the day before, and it had spread among the women, that the Duke of Celtic was going to arrest the adulterer.
