As soon as Dante finished speaking, there was a knock at the door. (Fengwu Literature Network http://WWW.QIUWW.NET.)

Julian immediately rose from his chair like a frightened rabbit, and Dante was surprised: "It can't be such a coincidence. The two of them straightened their clothes, and Dante quickly cleaned up the messy items in the room, and Julian himself went to open the door.

"Is that you?"

Julian breathed a long sigh of relief at the sight of the High Bishop, who was his deputy, and the three captains of the Knights Templar.

"Thank you, Lord forbid, we have finally found you, Your Excellency. The High Bishop was humbly and reverently crossing the cross, his head was covered with drops of sweat, and the faces of the three captains behind him were not very good, and it was clear that the sudden disappearance of the papal envoy had brought them a lot of pressure.

"Come in and talk about it. Julian pulled the door wide open.

The four people blocking the doorway walked into the room with their feet raised. The High Bishop looked up at the room, the corners of his mouth twitching into a look of displeasure. "Your Excellency, you live in such a place?" he was clearly dissatisfied with the crampedness and appearance of the room.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" said Julian.

"Please come with us, we have arranged a more comfortable accommodation. ”

"I don't feel like there's anything wrong with living here. ”

Julie felt ridiculous in his peace of mind, I didn't even go to the palace, can the place you arrange be more comfortable than the palace?

"This ......" The high-ranking bishop and the three captains stared at each other again, on the ship that came to the Rokar Empire, they knew that this envoy was not easy to deal with, but they didn't expect it to be so cold and not give them face at all.

"The master is saying that he still has important tasks on his body, and it is more convenient to act alone like this to complete them. Seeing that the atmosphere on both sides was rapidly cooling, Dante hurriedly played a round, "So, in order to ensure that the mission goes smoothly, Lord Bishop and a few captains should please go back." ”

The four of them made eye contact. What kind of mission this papal envoy has, people of their level are not qualified to know at all, and since Dante has raised the importance of the mission, there is no need for them to continue to force Julian to follow them away. So the high-ranking bishop stepped forward and said, "Then, Lord Envoy, please take care, and the three captains and I will arrange for people to wait nearby until the mission is completed." ”

"No, your mission is complete, go back to Pope Island at once. Julian was still cold.

"At least let us keep you safe, the city doesn't seem to be very safe. The older of the three long lines said to Julian.

Hearing this, Julian couldn't help but feel funny: "Hah." When it comes to familiarity with the city, none of you know it better than I do. Also, if you want to protect me, fight me first, and if you win, stay and protect me. ”

The faces of the three captains became even more ugly.

"Your Excellency, you are a blessed knight and a great hero in defeating the warden of Hades, and we are no match for you. "It was still the eldest captain who came forward.

"Since you can't even beat me, what are you going to do to protect me?" Julian threw out a conclusion that was difficult for the three captains to refute.

Although the three captains were "defeated" before they could fight, the high-ranking bishop still did not give up: "Your Excellency, you are a special envoy appointed by His Majesty the Pope himself, and we are just in case of emergency, so that we can take care of it in case of emergency. ”

"You still know that I am a papal envoy. The envoy is the Pope's representative abroad, the envoy's words are the Pope's words, the envoy's order is the Pope's order, do you even dare to disobey the Pope's order?"

As a last resort, Julian had to move out the sign of "Pope", so that the high-ranking bishop was completely speechless.

Disappointed, the four were evicted from the room. After closing the door, Dante looked at Julian's background and shook his head helplessly. This kid is doing things for the Central Church, but he doesn't hide his wariness of the Church, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door of the room.

"Didn't you tell you to get out of here?" Julian, who was in a very bad mood, couldn't care about his demeanor in a hurry, and scolded loudly.

But when Dent opened the door again, Julian was dumbfounded.

I saw an elderly couple dressed in high-class aristocratic costumes standing outside the door.

"Such a majestic envoy actually wants the important ministers of my empire to get out. The aristocratic old man, who was close to Jiazi and had gray hair, snorted softly. In him, I couldn't see the humility of the high-ranking bishop and the three captains just now, but there was a domineering arrogance.

"You ......" Apparently Julian was not mentally prepared for the presence of the two men, and he stammered speechless.

"Julian, are you my Julian?" the aristocratic old lady next to her burst into tears, and she didn't bother to lift the hem of her skirt, so she rushed into the room and grabbed Julian's shoulders.

"Let me see, look at you......" The old lady looked Julian up and down several times, "you have grown up, you have really grown up." ”

Although more than ten years of time will change people's appearance, the contours of their facial features are still clear, as if it is absolutely impossible to admit mistakes to their beloved blood relatives.

"Thank you, God of Light, my Julian, you're finally back!" the old lady hugged Julian, and her tears were like a reservoir that opened the floodgates, and she couldn't hold back any longer.

β€œ......”

Like the old lady, Julian was speechless with emotion, tears filling his eyes, making his eyes look a little puffy.

After a long embrace, the two parted, and then the old lady's attention was drawn to the terrible scar on Julian's face: "How did this happen? Julian, what happened to you?"

"Mother, I ......," Julian squeezed out a bitter smile at the old lady, "it's a long story, but there's a lot going on in me. ”

"That's right, I'll talk about it later, just come back. The old lady hugged Julian again.

"Victoria, they're pope's envoys now, so we need to be careful. The aristocratic old man spoke again, and by this time he was already standing in the room, in contrast to the old lady's enthusiasm and excitement, and the tone in which the old man spoke only made people feel cold and dissatisfied.

"Father. Julian parted from the old lady and came to the old man on his own initiative.

The aristocratic couple, who visited overnight, were Julian's biological parents: Mikoyen Rousseau, chancellor and chancellor of the Exchequer, and his wife, Victoria Rousseau.

By this time Dante had poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of the Rousseaus, but Mikoyan did not even look at the old glasses, and Victoria only looked at her son.

"Well, who is 'Father' called? I don't remember a son. Mikoyan didn't look at Julian either, with his hands behind his back.

"It's rare for your son to come back, how do you talk?" Victoria reproached her husband.

"Oh, I remember, I do have a bad son. I left my parents behind and ran away to a paladin training camp without saying a word, and I haven't heard from him for 14 years. Some time ago, I heard McLeck say that this kid had violated the sacred law and had been executed, causing his mother to wash her face with tears every day for months. Now the corpse of my ruined son may have been fed to wild dogs. Mikoyan's words were like needles, and Julian felt as if he was about to be pierced to the ground.

"Don't say such ugly things. Isn't his son safe and sound now? And he has become the Pope's envoy, and he has achieved a lot of things. With that, Victoria turned her address from her husband to her son, "Come, Julian, let's leave your duplicitous father alone, and come home with me." I said you, you're back at home, why do you want to stay in this kind of hotel......"

I couldn't help but say, grabbed my son's left hand and dragged him out of the door.

However, Julian couldn't let his mother drag it anymore, he gently pulled his mother's hand away with his right hand, and said, "Mother, I have returned to the empire this time to complete a mission, and Alexander is only a temporary stop, and he will leave again soon, so I don't need to go home." ”

"You haven't been home in 14 years. What task is so important. Can't you go back to your own home?" complained Victoria.

"There's really no way around it. The task is important, and the business is done. Julian shook his head with a wry smile.

"When it comes to business, there's one thing I'd like to figure out. "I have just heard a terrible rumor from an acquaintance in the palace that someone has proposed to Her Majesty the Empress in the name of a papal envoy that he wants to overturn the case of Leglis's damned traitor. ”

Hearing this, Julian immediately understood why his father, who had not seen him for 14 years, put on a posture of asking him about his guilt as soon as he met.

"This is not some kind of pretense to rehabilitate Duke Leglis, but I personally proposed it to Her Majesty the Empress. But Julian didn't hide it.

"Ridiculous! Childish! Who do you think you are? The position of papal envoy is not a game for children to play at home!" Mikoyan was furious.

Seeing that the father and son were already incompatible, Victoria hurriedly persuaded: "Son, how can you be so confused? The Duke of Leglis's case was tried by your father himself, how could there be a mistake? And you didn't know the relationship between your father and Leglis. Hurry up and apologize to your father, and then ask to retract this ridiculous decision when you meet Her Majesty the Empress tomorrow. ”

"Mother, if there is a grievance, it must be redressed, and if there is a mistake, it must be corrected. Julian didn't think he was doing anything wrong. Personal vendetta is not a justification for a personal vendetta. Whether Duke Leglis committed treason back then, and what the truth of the matter was, I believe my father knows better than me. ”

"Bastard!" Zhu Fa's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Mikoyan raised his hand and was ready to fight.

Victoria immediately grabbed her husband and shouted to Julian, "Son, apologize to your father quickly, quickly!"

"Let go of me, I'm going to kill this kid today!"

"No, Julian, what are you doing?"

"I won't let go and fight with you!"

......

The two husbands and wives argued, and Dante went between the father and the son, and said to Mikoyan, "Archduke and Madame, will you listen to me?" ”

"Shut up, you lowly slave, you don't have to speak!" kicked Dante in the stomach.

I don't know if it was Dante's strong body, or Mikoyan's old age, the strength of this kick was not enough, although Dante was kicked head-on, he didn't even retreat, let alone hurt, but there was an extra shoe print on the clothes on his abdomen. Dante replied without humility: "I have nothing to say how the Duke will punish me, a lowly servant. But Master Julian was an envoy sent by the Pope himself, and if an important minister of the empire beat the papal envoy, it was a matter of diplomacy. ”

"Humph!" Mikoyan withdrew his hand and flicked his sleeve vigorously.

This inconspicuous knightly squire had raised the matter to the level of the state, and Mikoyan had no choice but to give up, but he was even more angry.

"It's not easy for our family to be reunited, so let's not talk about business at this rare time. Seeing that the tense atmosphere of the sword and crossbow had calmed down slightly, Victoria hurriedly crossed to another topic, "Julian, you come back this time, and after completing the task, you must go home to do the marriage." ”

"Marriage, what marriage?" Julian was a little confused by his mother's words.

"Have you forgotten? It's your fiancΓ©e, Lady of Archduke Roman. Victoria was surprised by her son's reaction, "When your father mentioned this family affair to Archduke Roman, Archduke Roman, who thought that our family was not from a knightly background, refused to marry his daughter to you. ”

"Ah......" Julian realizes, this seems to be the original intention of running to Key Island without telling his parents.

"It's a different story now. Seeing the blank look on his son's face, Victoria thought he was happy, "Your father's reputation in the government and the opposition is getting higher and higher, and many ministers are vying to get closer to your father. Two years ago, the Roman Grand Duke took the initiative to find us, promised to marry his daughter to you, and said that it didn't matter if she was a knight or not. ”

"That's what happened, but I'm afraid that Julian will disappoint my parents again, and I can't agree to this. Julian sighed bitterly.

"Why? Didn't you decide to become a paladin in order to marry the daughter of the Grand Duke of Roman?" Victoria was surprised by her son's refusal.

"Because over the years, I've been out there and have another engagement. It is not suitable to marry Miss Roman again. ”

"Marriage?" said Victoria, too, in amazement, "Whose lady is it?"

"She's a very nice girl. Julian smiled sweetly as he said this.

"There is no contradiction between having a marriage contract with someone else and marrying the Roman family. Then take one more wife. Victoria laughed.

"No, you can't. I can't do anything to be sorry for Frey. Julian refused again.

"Frey, the name of the person you were betrothed to" Victoria's mind spun around, but she couldn't think of any of the daughters of the Empire's magnates who had the name "Frey".

"Victoria, let's go. Mikoyan said coldly, "The wings are stiff, and they can fly far." Now that he is the Pope's envoy, he can't disturb the rest of the envoy. ”

With that, Mikoyan turned around and walked out of the room.

"Julian......" Victoria grabbed her son's hand tightly, looking at the face of her son, who had experienced vicissitudes of life that did not match his age, and she could not get enough of it.

"Victoria, aren't you leaving?" came her husband's impatient shout outside the door.

Obedience to her husband has become a part of her life, and even though she is reluctant to do so, she just leaves. The old lady turned around three times in one step, and the short distance of a few meters to the door was as long as walking for several years......

Julian went to the window and watched his parents enter a luxury carriage and disappear around the corner of the street under the protection of the groom. He had mixed feelings in his heart.

Although I had imagined the scene of being reunited with my parents countless times before, I never imagined that it would be so hot and embarrassing as it is today.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door of the room.

"Well, this hotel is really lively tonight. Dante, who had just cleaned up the table, quickly stood up and walked to the door.
