Asking Augustine to sing is definitely a drudgery more painful than going to the execution field, and what is even more odious is that Miss Elizabeth has no sleep after listening to "Lullaby" today, and her delicate face is full of ridicule like that of a puppet doll princess. The body she now occupies, the most delicate flower in the history of the gorse, the little princess Michel Pefen, appears in abundance in history books and poetry, so much so that a puppet work based on her appearance has appeared, unlike the notorious Red Ashoka, even the Byzantian Holy See has repaid unimaginable tolerance to the puppet princess from the hands of the puppet emperor von Charlemagne, and has promised the last wish of the sinner who single-handedly destroyed the entire Violet Knights: to preserve rather than destroy the most tender work of his life, the Doll Princess" Honey Pei Fen", this legendary toy is preserved in the Pope Hall according to historical records.

Augustine looked at a row of glass bottles, where the knight of the four seas, Descartes, and the decisive strategic Lich King, the "Viscount", had come out, and God knew what kind of monster would come out next, the smallest glass bottle covered with shamanic runes, containing what Elizabeth called "a lady's little secret", Augustine could not believe that any doll could be more subversive than the Lich King. Slowly retracting his gaze, Augustine apologized, "I'm going to Jupiter City soon, but I can't take you with me." The poem needs your watch, and you don't want to miss the birth of the two-headed golden viper, the first creature it sees after breaking its eggs, and the only parent in its long life. ”

Elizabeth sighed heavily, she really can't miss the birth of the little guy, it is of great significance, let a mythical toddler recognize the master, and even shake the throne of the shaman emperor, she can tolerate failure once, but she must not lose to the same guy a second time, even if he is the king of the savage continent, the Duke of Maga Black Sheep. Augustine comforted: "I will not forget to buy my personal butler the most fashionable foundations and perfumes in the imperial capital, the most beautiful makeup cases, the most expensive black tea and wine, I am not poor now." ”

The housekeeper of Lori said sourly: "You will not forget to choose a harp for the daughter of Prince Otis." ”

Augustine laughed, "Of course. ”

She fell straight on the bed, and gave a silent eviction order, Augustine helped her cover the quilt, during which she was kicked hard, and walked to the door, and came from the resentful voice of little Lori, "Bring the viscount, it can carry a lot of foundation and perfume bottles." ”

Augustine silently accepted the help of Queen Elizabeth in an alternative way. He and she have never been like syrupy sweet but easily disgusting entertainment phrases between nobles.

Madame Quentin was granted a day off by the generous consuls, and she spent half a day returning to the papal antique shop, lamenting a room full of beloved collectibles, for it would soon be bought by the banker-minded consul, and her last piece of pure land would be deprived. Luckily, she was able to work part-time as an appraiser in an antique shop in addition to the Poet Diplomat, and lived on the Champs-Elysées Witches for a long time, instead of staying in the dark underground kingdom and being a kitten who could be dragged to bed and spanked at any moment. For the rest of the day, she enjoyed life like a noblewoman, sipping Ceylon Highland black tea, foie gras and caviar, the freshest truffles, and chatting with Miss Alice in a pleasant and elegant conversation about some of the most popular topics in Jupiter, or intimate and intimate topics between women and girls.

When dusk covers the majestic Anise and Pédrels, the White Elephant Castle resembles a wooden giant, and the viewing terrace is the giant's eye.

The two ladies looked together at the Black Swan Lake in the twilight, Augustine's conjecture was not wrong, Miss Alice stood here and witnessed the battle with a papal hall lookout given by Lady Quentin, and wrote a detailed report, which was only burned and not handed over to her father, who was far away in the imperial capital to prepare for the next Saxon holy war. Her twentieth birthday is approaching, and the leader of the barbarians has sent a group of griffin knights to the territory of Bailu in addition to the Paya war chess sent in the early stage, and has just arrived today, the overall strength of the knights of the Greenspan family is not in the forefront of the empire, but the number of griffin knights who have always hovered around a hundred or so is the Sky Knights coveted by any family in the empire. Madame Quentin looked at Alice's side face and said with a wry smile: "Champs-Elysée Witch Street will soon be monopolized by two-thirds of his gold coins, and there will definitely be curious nobles who will flock to it, and the specimens of werewolves and mammoths alone can make people willing to empty their pockets." ”

Miss Alice smiled, "I am sure to be the first customer, the halls of the White Elephant Castle require a series of heretical specimens, and I have asked my father for permission to pay for this additional expense. ”

Aunt Quentin was helpless, and said softly: "He is going to Alpha City tomorrow to negotiate with the Count of Marseille who likes to sleep on Caesar's tickets, and he should be able to reach an agreement, Alpha's crow black market and Lolita slave market will be completely open to Poetry, and the city lord may even participate in Poetry's arena business, all of which will make Cosmo's financial and material resources rise to a big level." Archbishop Ram the Fat Pig of the Church of Marca is also collecting money for him, and bags of gold coins will be sent to Cosmo when the time comes. Next, the rough 'God's Left Eye' magic array may be even larger and more detailed. With the addition of Kraft Servant Knights, and a steady stream of skeletal knights burrowing out of the ground, Cosmo is no longer the sapling that broke off casually. It's only been less than a year, and if you give him another three years, ten or fifty years?"

Alice laughed, "It seems that the words that circulated after the ruling after the establishment of the Order are true, the old giants of the Sacricade Ministry, the Teutonic priests, once said, 'Don't be delusional about plucking the shoots, it's not as fragile as you think'." ”

Lady Quentin sighed softly, the more black power he wielded, the safer she was, and the more she could not escape from his control, it was an easy paradox.

Imperial capital, the city of Jupiter.

The Senate is the core institution of the Vatican in the Atlantic, it is composed of a series of ancient buildings and squares, all in Gothic style, well preserved, many towering internal churches have gone through several generations or even more than a dozen generations of efforts to be built, this heaviness, will never allow any successor to tamper with according to preferences and trends, as the voice of God in the world, the greatest task of the Holy See, is to strengthen tradition, not to be unconventional, the latter is often only reduced to the sacramental ministry, the old hall is a building in height second only to the bell tower of St. John the Cathedral, but after the new chief secretary of state came to power, moved to a four-story low building in the northeast corner closer to the palace, and those big nobles who were not afraid of the academic academy were naturally sneering: how eager this lowly girl is to serve our emperor, does she still want to be the queen of the empire?

After taking the helm of the Senate, in addition to the small move of relocating the Refusty Department, there was also a series of thunderous reforms, streamlining the structure that was so complicated that even religious observers felt a headache, cutting down a large number of bloated and inefficient overlapping institutions, and the most intuitive feeling from the outside world is that if you want to come to the Senate, you can finally not spend the whole afternoon in the nearby tavern, but get a clear message of whether to approve or refuse.

The reform, which required the removal of some of the cheese that had been fixed, of course, could not be smooth sailing, but with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, the royal literature teacher who was born as the illegitimate daughter of the Windsor family, took out a more radical and iron-blooded hand than the hawkish general, first sent the last secretary of state who refused to move the office to the Senate, and let the old nobleman who had received more medals than her age go directly back to the private territory to retire, and then invited a group of conspirators who tried to launch a collective petition into the sacramental ministry, and then, when the nobles and young masters were ready to cry and cry to His Majesty the Emperor and the empress and princesses, the outbreak of the Prince of Otis and the Duke of Rotonchilde treason, the two most famous men of the empire died in a disgraceful way, the conspirators in the sacramental ministry were immediately frightened, obediently confessed, among which the leading two marquis were sent to the imperial capital number one guillotine to execute the "wheel of execution", in Jupiter City again set off a huge wave, the nobles broke the law, as long as they did not commit treason, not serious blasphemy, are called "golden crimes" Most of them were punished by the payment of gold coins and the removal of knighthoods, very few orthodox nobles were guillotined, and countless letters were sent to the Imperial Prime Minister who deliberately went to Oxfordshire for the summer, including intimidation and threats. But in the end, His Majesty the Emperor and the Patriarch, the two leaders of the worldly and spiritual worlds, acquiesced to Queen Goscher's sentence, and for a time, the newly appointed Secretary of State became synonymous with the devil, accusing her of being not only an abandoned baby of the House of Windsor, but also an ugly illegitimate daughter of Satan. In the imperial capital, where there is never a shortage of friends and enemies, the chief secretary of state, there are many enemies, innumerable, but there are very few friends, a woman like her, who is so slender and elegant, and who has both profound literary skills and prominent titles, but who has no half of suitors, is a cold-toned legend in the Holy Empire.

On the fourth floor of the Academic Affairs Department, the Office of the Secretary of State in the center of the Academic Council.

Metropolitan Willian, who went to Black Swan Lake to try Augustine, trembled, and after the report, he closed his lips tightly, not daring to say another word of nonsense, and he didn't dare to say a mouthful. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the armor in the dark corner, which was a complete [Madonna of Yephael], reminding the visitors that the woman in front of him was not only a poet, but also the youngest royal swordsmith and dragon knight in the Empire.

The Secretary of State sat behind her desk, and at 180 centimeters tall, she seemed no shorter than the thin Bishop Metropolitan who was standing.

With a pair of scholar's glasses, she raised her head and stared at the Metropolitan who had been inactive since being introduced to the Senate by the former Secretary of State, and the corners of Queen Goschel's mouth curled up and said softly: "I believe the Metropolitan knows what to do." ”

Willian looked decadent, and handed over with both hands a resignation that he was ready to use when he returned to the imperial capital, but he didn't want to take it out.

The Secretary of State thought for a moment, shook his head, and smiled kindly: "I do not accept this form of apology, there is an unstamped letter of appointment here, is the Metropolitan interested in going to the New World discovered by the Napoleonic Archpriest and opening up the wasteland of faith?"

Metropolitan Willian was stunned for a moment, and said excitedly: "Thank you Secretary of State for your forgiveness! I am more than happy to accept this new job, to spread the glory of the Holy See, and it is the vocation of a priest!"

Although the empire has only just gained a foothold in that new continent, and even has some disputes with the Kamiao Empire, it has indeed been at the forefront of all the countries in the epic continent, and the Condi family in Marceau has become the first colonial governor there, and he happens to have a good relationship with Condi, and the new colony has always been the top priority for the chief secretary of state and the Grand Priest of Napoleon of the Imperial Sun to deal with jointly, and all the lucky ones who are lucky enough to enter this circle will become the real power of the empire for the next twenty years, which is the consensus of Jupiter's upper circle。

She said softly, "The appointment will be given soon, and the Metropolitan will be ready to sail with the High Priest at once." ”

Willian immediately retreated, for everyone knew that Her Royal Highness Queen Goschel hated empty communication the most.

The Metropolitan came out of the room, wiping the sweat from his head, but soon he subconsciously straightened up, for from the stairs came a young priest in the robes of the archpriest, with a little white cat squatting on his shoulder.

Napoleon.

At the time of the patriarch's election, the "opener" of the Cathedral of the Sacred Valley of Aquinas, the youngest student of the previous patriarch, was the priest who had a blank background and helped the new patriarch out of the bronze gate to the cheers of hundreds of thousands of believers.

Willian had to feel trepidation and honor.

The young high priest, who had just made a glorious contribution to the empire, smiled sincerely and took the initiative to make the Holy Triangle gesture, and Willian immediately responded. Unlike the iceberg chief secretary of state, Napoleon was always the sun in winter, with just the right amount of warmth, and he might have embarrassed some old theologians in his abbey classes, asking some acerbic and almost unsolvable questions, and when the next debater was gone, he would be able to round the stage at the right time, philosophers, and even poets, would be willing to talk to him, and in recent years, this pious and wise young monk had been the most popular and touted guest of the imperial capital, until his disappearance, and many of his interesting jokes were circulating at imperial banquets, and when the high priest withdrew from the high society stage for a long time, the heat began to subside, only when the news of the discovery of the New World came, The nobles and ladies woke up to the fact that their Napoleon did not disappoint, the only pity was that when the dusty Napoleon returned to Jupiter City, a more eye-catching event happened, the Mayan temple, which had not visited the Holy Empire for more than thirty years, finally recognized their young magicians again, not to mention that she was still so young, every citizen of the empire, a sense of pride arose, as for the small label of the side branch of the Rotonchild family on her body, it was ignored under the deliberate guidance of the imperial official and the magic guild. She replaced Aphrodite of the Northern Ovul House as the new moon of the Empire.

And Napoleon, or the sun of the empire.
