The lion vows to say that it is valuable, and it is indeed called valuable, but it is by no means "something that cannot be exchanged";

On the other hand, Queen Mary's good reputation among the people is rare in the entire history of the kingdom, plus Mary's father is the Grand Duke of Hofburg-Franz, a well-known powerful lord, a prominent and respected Lionheart nobleman, and a centrist faction that the old and new aristocratic factions are trying to woo.

It is said that the Grand Duke has been worried about his daughter's illness in recent days. If someone could really help him save his daughter, he would easily earn a huge amount of political resources; Even Luther VII himself had already issued a proclamation to gather people across the country who could solve the curse for his wife.

Cummins felt that the deal was not a loss at all. The problem now is that there is no one else in the entire royal capital to save her, but there is no one to do under the heavy reward, and there is nothing to do.

In this case, the more important problem is that the trader's identity is a sensitive Black Tower wizard, and therefore the face of His Majesty himself is involved.

Luther VII was bent on restoring the glory of his ancestors, and he was originally full of jealousy and rejection of the Black Tower wizards who floated around in his own territory all day long, but he couldn't control and couldn't beat them, and he would never agree to such conditions that would affect his reputation.

After all, a person who doesn't have a good relationship and has never been in touch with each other suddenly comes to the door one day and asks you to take out the heirloom...... No matter how you look at it, it's an arrogant threat.

Cummins was on Rasputchin's side, but he thought the same thing from the bottom of his heart.

Incidentally, he remembered a cryptic newspaper from the country on the other side of the sea that had happened to be circulated in his hand, which recorded the ambition of a certain leader of the Magic Tower. Although the author calls himself "speculation", the more Mr. Knight looks at it, the more he feels like that.

He felt that this matter would not be hidden from His Majesty.

If the Black Tower really makes any big moves, the first one in the Earth Kingdom to suffer must be Rhine.

Whether out of guard against a conspiracy or anger at the threat, Luther VII's own reaction was not difficult to predict.

So, when Cummins asked someone else to send a petition letter to His Majesty the King, with the request of the legendary wizard Novi Heraspuchin, it was not surprising that he heard from the people of the Maple Springs that Luther VII was furious after reading the letter and smashed several teacups in his face.

At first, no one paid much attention to it.

For for almost three or four days of the week His Majesty was in this violent form: one moment the new nobility of the South, the Church of Our Lady, the Citizens' Assembly, and the Medici family...... There are too many people or things in this life that can make him angry.

Luther VII made little secret of his irascible nature, and his servants simply kept their mouths shut.

At first, there would be people who trembled at the king's wrath, but every day they trembled...... Everyone gets used to it.

It is said that there were also people in the palace who made a fortune by selling a large pile of fine porcelain, damaged furniture and torn paintings to the black market.

Naturally, Cummins was not stupid enough to present the chapter in his private name, but secretly gathered a group of aristocratic young people who also admired Queen Mary, and conveyed the news in the name of others, urging them to write a petition together. He also contacted Queen Mary's father through a connection with the Count of Matz (to whom Cummins is now pledged).

Eventually, the matter was approved by the Grand Duke of Hofburg-Franz, and Luther VII himself had summoned the whole nation to save the queen, so there was nothing out of the ordinary in the letter itself.

Cummins was not harmed, he was not punished, he just waited in silence.

Soon, a herald was sent from the palace to convey to him the news of the defeat with regret.

Originally, this was supposed to be the end of the matter. However, just a few days later, the matter took an unexpected turn

That is, the Holy See intervened.

“…… I don't know why the Holy See was interested in this, or how they persuaded His Majesty. But in the end, they agreed to the conditions you proposed. ”

"The king made the decision to send a group of emissaries to escort the queen to the Silent Ridge in the name of this, but in reality, the whereabouts of this team were not made public, nor did they send an invitation to the magic tower, but disguised themselves as a caravan on the way."

"This caravan is not only staffed by guards from the palace, but also monks and inquisitors from within the Holy See."

Cummins quickened his voice and told Richard everything that had happened before.

One might wonder why a knight who was once a member of the Knights Templar was wary of his companions and the Holy See, and instead went out of his way to find out what was going on for a wizard of the Black Tower.

Although it was true that he was always hot-headed in the event of saving Queen Mary, Cummins Morningstar was a very sober man. Otherwise, with his personality and his identity as an alien, he would definitely not be able to mix up with his current position.

Cummins has now pinned all his hopes on Raspuchin, and naturally thinks about the other side in everything.

In his opinion, the involvement of the people of the Holy See in this matter naturally could not be for the sake of protecting the queen's safety, but for another purpose: the inquisitors came from the well-known heretical inquisition, and the white-robed monks and soldiers were the guards from the core of the Holy See, the "Great Holy Place", and it was easy to disappear.

The reason why they appeared in the emissary group may be to target the Black Tower, or to deal with Raspuchin, or to clear other threats along the way. In any case, they who act with the "emissaries" are very likely to involve Queen Mary herself in danger.

It was something he couldn't tolerate, but he couldn't stop.

Cummins is powerless, he can only choose to put his hope in others, although he knows very well that the big man opposite him is also not a good stubble.

He leaned against the wall, and at some point, cold sweat was already soaking his back. Cummins looked up at the sky, but didn't notice the approaching figure from behind......

……

Richard, who was on the other side of the magic communication, didn't speak for a while.

He was also speculating about the purpose of the Holy See's trip.

Richard thought for a moment, intending to ask Cummins to find another way to spy on the information.

At this moment, the communication was suddenly cut off.

Richard was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was a suspension due to force majeure.

“…… No problem over there, right? ”

Richard frowned, realizing that he would have to do a lot of work if he wanted to get the oath as planned.
