Norman originally thought that the life of an aristocrat was to live in a big house, eat and drink well without having to work every day, but he now realized that his imagination was too scarce.

The real aristocratic life was much more luxurious than he imagined.

Like now.

In front of Norman's eyes, there was a square pit, and at the end of the pit there were two objects in the shape of the heads of beasts, and hot water was constantly flowing from the mouths of the two heads.

The water in the pit was half full, steaming with white mist-like heat, and Norman was now sitting in the hot water, and there was a boy on Norman's left and right, all washing Norman's body with their heads down.

Before today, Norman would never have imagined that someone would build such a big pool just to take a bath, let alone take a bath without having to do it himself, just by sitting!

Luxury, depravity!

But God the Father has said that extravagance is a sin.

Norman viciously reprimanded the father for teaching these guys to say one thing and do another, and then continued to enjoy the service of the two apprentices, squinting comfortably and reminiscing about the dinner just now.

Dinner just now consisted of lamb chops topped with rich gravy, refreshing and delicious vegetable salad, delicious soup and even dessert at the end!

Oh, Norman had eaten dessert for the first time, and the melt-in-the-mouth water-like and food-like thing was so delicious and sweet that people couldn't help but feel better after eating it.

So the world is really wonderful, he was almost killed by the people of the Father God ten days ago, but now he is treated as a guest by the people of the Father God.

I just don't know if it's this kind of food every day, if so, he is willing to live here for the rest of his life......

Everything was fine, like a real paradise, but Lancelot poured cold water on him.

"It's not the time to enjoy it, you could be in danger. ”

Dangerous?

Norman's eyes snapped open, but he couldn't think of any danger he could have.

He lives comfortably and eats well now, and he will soon become a baron, and as soon as he comes back from Santa Vita, he will immediately reach the peak of his life, where is the danger? The only danger is probably those people from the Church of Liberty, but Hardy also promised to help him keep the secret and not let people spread the news, so where is the danger?

"Have you ever wondered why they came to Cárdenas, and listening to Hardy, they are going to Santa Vita next, what are they going to do in Santa Vita? Have you thought about the reason behind the fact that they made you a baron? Don't you think that it was very sudden that they suddenly promised you the title of a baron? Even if they believed that you were descended by the Father, it would be more appropriate to make you a senior position in the Church than a secular title of nobility......

Lancelot threw out a series of questions, which made Norman gradually calm down.

When Lancelot said this, he realized that there were really a lot of problems in it.

So what to do?

Norman wanted to ask, but no one around him was quick to talk to himself, so he immediately let the two apprentices out, but stopped one of them just as they were about to leave.

"Balk?"

Norman remembered the name correctly.

After hearing Norman's words, one of the two apprentices stood still, and it seemed that it was indeed the name.

Norman added, "You stay, continue to help me bathe." ”

So the other apprentice went out, and Balk stayed.

This apprentice named Balk was a clear-eyed young man, who looked weak and weak, and when he saw Norman let him stay alone, he seemed a little scared, and looked at Norman with a strange look, but after some rapid psychological struggle, he finally came over with a deadly expression, and served Norman again to take a bath, but his movements were softer than just now, as if he was afraid of attracting Norman's attention.

Norman didn't notice Balke's small movements, and spoke to him casually.

"How old are you?16? That's younger than me...... Don't be nervous, we're just going to talk......"

This was what Lancelot had just asked him to try to see if he could get some information from the mouths of the two apprentices to help the Templars judge the situation.

Well, apprentices, there are no servants in the Yabei Cathedral, only apprentices, in fact, servants in disguise. Moreover, this kind of disguised servant is not something that ordinary people can serve, and commoners have no way to be it, and it is often the descendants of nobles who can come in to fill this position, because as they grow older, apprentices can often be promoted to priests, just like the relationship between knightly squires and knights. That's why Lancelot asked Norman to try to get some information from the apprentice's mouth, otherwise if he were an ordinary servant, he wouldn't have to expect to get any useful information.

At first, the Balk apprentice thought that Norman had that hobby, so he was very nervous and asked and answered, but as the conversation gradually deepened, and saw that Norman did not act further, he gradually unloaded his heart, and the conversation box also opened, and successfully let Norman know some information.

Why the Holy Maiden came to Cárdenas, the Balk apprentice did not know, and he did not know why the Holy Maiden went to Santa Vita, he did not even know that the Holy Maiden was going to Santa Vita. He only knows some basic information, and it is the kind that has been outdated for a few months, such as the death of the old king at the beginning of the year, because the death was sudden, and the heir to the throne has not even been chosen, so the regent is temporarily in charge of the kingdom, and the new king has not yet been decided, and some political current affairs that some aristocratic families will basically know - or political "outdated affairs" is more appropriate.

Lancelot, however, seemed interested in this information, and asked Norman to continue asking about it, and was given more information, such as that the old king had three sons in addition to the regent's sister, and a nephew known as the "Golden Lion".

Asking and asking, Norman even asked about the process of the king's accession to the throne: the kings of the past dynasties, in addition to the decree of the kings, the most important thing is the coronation of the church, and only the king who has been crowned by the pope is the legitimate king.

After asking this, Norman gradually understood the purpose of Lancelot's asking him to ask this, and suddenly knew why the Holy Maiden came to Cárdenas and why she went to Santa Vita.

Santa Vita is the capital of the United Kingdom of Augustus, and the Holy Maiden went to Santa Vita to coronate the new king!

In addition, there seems to be no other reason for such a big man as the Holy Maiden to run all the way from the White Mountain to Santa Vita.

It's just that why it was the Holy Maiden and not the Pope who went to preside over the coronation, Norman didn't care too much, anyway, both of them were the top figures of the Father's Church, and in his opinion, either one would be the same.

And Lancelot thought of more than Norman.

"Do you remember the day you first met the Holy Maiden? She and her retinue were bloodstained, and there were only six of them in all, how could there be only six people on the Holy Maiden's journey? ”

"Although we don't know why it was the Holy Woman who came forward and not the Pope this time, it is true that the Holy Woman was supposed to go to Santa Vital to preside over the coronation, but it is clear that there are people who do not want her to go to Santa Vita. This person could be one of the three sons of the old king, the queen regent, the nephew, or several of them, and they could not be separated from these contenders for the throne anyway. ”

"At the same time, this explains why the Holy Maiden stayed in Cárdenas for so long, because her entourage was almost dead, and she realized the strength of the enemy, so she stayed in Cárdenas for so long, just to gather men and organize a stronger legacy, so that she could escort her to Santa Vita, and you, the 'chosen one of God', appeared at this time. ”

"This timing is so coincidental, they are likely to think that you were sent by the Father to help them, so they will suddenly promise you the title of a baron, so that there will be a valid reason for you to follow them to Santa Vita, and at the same time hide your true identity as 'chosen by the Father', so that on the one hand, they can enjoy the help given to them by the Father, and on the other hand, they will not let their secret weapon be exposed, and they can play a greater role at the critical moment, killing multiple birds with one stone......"

Norman listened to Lancelot's analysis before finally realizing his current situation.

He, the son of a farmer, was inexplicably involved in the battle for the throne of the United Kingdom of Augustus?!
