Chapter 189: The illegitimate son of the Roland family
"Your Highness!"
The female knight walked back from outside and whispered in the ear of Her Highness the Holy Maiden: "I have just inquired clearly, this morning, the Cathedral of St. Loren did send two night watchmen out, accompanied by two holy knights and a probationary priest!"
Speaking of this, the female knight paused again, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "However, there are some rumors just now, that it is said that the night watchman and the holy knight of the Inquisition sent a team, but they were defeated by a probationary knight on the street and returned with serious injuries......"
Her Highness couldn't help but glance at Lady Loriss in surprise, then raised her eyebrows, smiled and waved her hand, signaling the girls gathered in the box to disperse first.
The girls who were able to come to meet and accompany Her Highness were all clever people carefully selected by various noble families, and who did not understand that the few words of conversation between Lady Loriss and Her Highness had been faintly involved in the whirlpool of disputes between the church and the secular nobles, so they got up and retired.
After all the maidens had left, Her Highness commanded the knightess, "Go and ask Archbishop Ludwig and Master Artest, as well as Bishop Filch and Inquisitor Titus." ”
The female knight takes the order and leaves!
Lady Loriss and Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden were left in the box, and Her Royal Highness gently stroked the exquisite binding and title page of the "Iliad", her fingers crossed the hollow gilded font, and when she saw the artistic noble floral signature, she couldn't help but smile: "Carl Roland, this surname is a little familiar to me, is it the family of the first paladin Roland?"
"Yes, it's the famous Granite Family!"
Lady Loris smiled and replied: "Carl Rowland, the mother is Alivier Rowland - the beloved daughter of the contemporary Count of Callinia Hawkins Rowland, although the Count of Callinia is not the main lineage of the Rowland family of the Saint-French Empire, but it is also one of the most vigorous collateral lines of the Rolland family, although the contemporary Count of Callinia is almost three hundred years old, but he has eleven sons, seven daughters, and a larger number of great-grandchildren, etc., which can be called luxuriant!"
"What a thriving family!"
Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song couldn't help but praise, the stronger the knight's bloodline, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring, the reason why these powerful families can be passed down from generation to generation is all due to the knight's life span and fertility period that exceeds that of ordinary people by one or two times to make up for it, even so, there are many famous families who have difficulty giving birth because they have no descendants and are extinct. It is too rare for a strong man like Count Callinia to live close to the limit of the life span of the Golden Knight and give birth to offspring. The stubbornness and stability of the Roland family's bloodline are enough to make any nobleman envious to death.
"Mother Karl is the fifth daughter of the Count of Callina, and although she is the most favored by the Count, she is not married!"
"Bastard?"
Her Highness couldn't help but be slightly surprised, blinked her eyes, and asked, "An illegitimate child like His Excellency Mars?"
"Not necessarily!"
Lady Lolit also blinked, and smiled in a slightly sly tone: "The Roland family did not clearly announce the identity of the little guy, although the little guy was kicked out of the family, but he was allowed to use the surname and badge of the Roland family!"
Obviously, Carl didn't know that Lady Loris, after meeting him by chance, had launched a detailed investigation into his background, and knew a lot more about it than he did!
"The illegitimate son of the Roland family!"
Her Highness couldn't help but sigh, and then said with a chuckle: "It's rare, the granite-headed Roland family finally knows how to be flexible!"
In this world, it is not strange to have illegitimate children, but it is strange that many of the outcast illegitimate children of the Roland family have become famous and bigwigs! So much so that the illegitimate sons of the Roland family, like the pureblood of the Robeck family, the son of the grocery store owner, and the position of librarian, have become famous proverbs in the mainland!
And among the illegitimate sons of the Roland family, one of the most famous people of the contemporary era is the contemporary sword saint Mars. This Excellency was just an ordinary member of the illegitimate children of countless nobles, and he didn't even know his identity, but he just lived like a poor person at the bottom, because of his general talent, he remained obscure until he awakened his bloodline step by step, and successively crossed the four major ranks of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold, and made a breakthrough before the golden knight's life limit came, and was promoted to the knight of the mandate of heaven, and one by one he overturned all the strong people in the continent, and obtained the "Sword Master" with an indisputable invincible attitude It was only then that his name was truly known to the world. It was only after this that people traced his origins and discovered that he was originally the illegitimate son of the Roland family.
However, at this time, more than three hundred years have passed since the era of his birth, and almost all the people of the Roland family of the same era have died, and in the past three hundred years, he has not had any contact with the Roland family, and even the Mars Sword Saint himself does not know that he is the illegitimate son of the Roland family. So after this information was exposed, it did not bring any actual benefits to the Roland family, but only added another stroke to the halo of the illegitimate son of the Roland family.
"In the face of interests, the most stubborn people also know how to be flexible!"
Lady Loriss looked at Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song and said this meaningfully.
Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Saintess smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Soon the knights sent by Her Highness returned, a middle-aged priest dressed in a white bishop's robe with a gold-rimmed coat of arms, and an inquisitor wearing a cross, followed by Archbishop Ludwig and Master Artest, both with white beards.
"Your Highness, salute you, your faithful servant Filch greetings you!"
Seeing Her Royal Highness, Bishop Filch hurriedly trotted a step and bowed to His Highness first, his otherwise dignified and serious face filled with flattering and flattering smiles.
Compared to Bishop Filch, who was anxious to flatter Her Highness, the Inquisitor Lord Titus was much calmer, and he simply bowed slightly to Her Highness, and then stood aside, silent.
"Salute you, Your Highness!"
Archbishop Ludwig, who had a white beard, also bowed slightly, and then asked, "I wonder what is important about you summoning us?"
"Sit down, Archbishop Ludwig!"
Her Royal Highness invited the venerable Archbishop Ludwig to sit down, and then said, "Lord Artest, Bishop Filch, Master Tetus, please sit down too!"
"Nothing big today, except that Lady Loris has pleaded with me that the night watchman of the Inquisition has arrested a protected freeman without the permission of the archbishop and the local lord?"
