Chapter 135: Spring Rain
At night, the wind and rain suddenly struck, and the streets were foggy and miserable.
"Tell Madame that Victor Corleone is here. ”
The icy rain fell on Corleone's raincoat, and he turned pale.
"Madame has fallen asleep. ”
The servant said.
"Please inform Madame that the visit of Victor Corleone is urgent. ”
The servant's face was displeased, "Madame is pregnant. ”
Corleone quietly handed over a bag of money, his eyes pleading.
The servant hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Wait a minute. ”
After a while, the servant turned back again, and led Corleone through the courtyard, from house to house.
"Madame is waiting for you in the palace. ”
Christine sat on the couch, next to the fireplace to keep warm, her velvet pajamas and a navy blue shawl, and her long linen hair was draped wantonly, and she was in too haste.
Victor Corleone, Christine had heard Yurian mention the name in bed.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Christine turned around and said with a faint smile, "Your Excellency Corleone." ”
Corleone, who was beautiful in the face of the city, trembled. This girl-aged woman radiates the elegance of a mature woman. This woman will definitely be more favored by Julian in the future.
"Lady Christine. ”
Corleone is humble.
"I'm very scared to disturb your sleep, but I have something important to ask for below, and the situation is urgent. ”
"You're worried, I've just been lying down. ”
Christine sensed Corleone's tense countenance, and she waved the servant away.
Only Christine and Corleone were left in the room.
"This is for you. ”
Corleone offered a gift with both hands and came to visit empty-handed, which was not a gentleman's move.
"What is this?"
"Title deeds. You can pick up your parents so that the family can be reunited. ”
A title deed to the aristocratic district of Azuchi Castle.
"Thank you, Lord Corleone. ”
Hearing that she could be reunited with her parents at any time, Christine couldn't help but smile.
Christine accepts Corleone's gift, and she learns a lot by Julian's side.
"I've heard that you've given the Edgards military power?"
"Yes, there seem to be thieves in the neighborhood. ”
"Can you think a little bit about this?"
"Huh?"
"I don't mean to let Madame break her promise to the Edgars, but I just hope that you will hold off for a few days, after all, the road will be very muddy these days due to the wind and rain and thunder outside. ”
Christine was a little hesitant, this kind of thing was undoubtedly too difficult for her to make a decision.
He swore that this matter would not harm the interests of Karazhan and Julian. ”
Christine pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flickering.
She knew that there were many hidden secrets beneath Azuchi Castle, and that the intricate ties of interest were criss-crossed and intertwined like tree roots, extending underground.
Seeing Christine's hesitation, Corleone hurriedly said: "No matter how thick the roots of the tree grow and take root downward, after all, it is only for the crown to absorb nutrients, for the big branches to flourish and rise into the clouds. We are nothing more than the roots of a tree that clings to Lord Julian, buried in the bottomless ground, and all we do is to make Karazan grow into a towering tree. ”
What Corleone did was ordered by Julian, but it was too complicated to explain.
"I see. ”
In this way, Corleone was relieved.
After leaving the Lord's Mansion, Corleone hurried to Miss Freya Mogg's residence.
Freya is just a little girl immersed in romantic knightly novels, and after Corleone's generous gifts and clever words, Freya readily agrees to Corleone's request.
"I see. ”
A smile welled up on Freya's face, and she thought Corleone was trying to broker the two of them as Edgar's friend.
"Please don't tell Edgar about this, or he'll scold me for being nosy. Corleone smiled helplessly.
"No, you helped me, and I will never betray you. I am the daughter of the Count of Slonia. ”
Freya looked up proudly, proud of her family's name.
"Then I sincerely hope that you and Edgar will tie the knot, and I think Mistress McCarvey will be very happy at that time. ”
"Cousin?"
"Yes, you are the Earl's favorite sister, and Edgar is his most trusted subordinate, and if the two of you can finally enter the palace of marriage, then the Earl will be very happy. ”
Hearing this, Freya was overjoyed.
She loves Edgar, and this love is like a burning flame that makes her horny, but she has always worried about her father's opposition, how can the daughter of the Mogg family marry a little noble-----------man?!
Now, with Julian's support, all problems will be solved.
Freya couldn't help but smile with joy, and the leather shoes on her feet always wanted to dance a tango.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Corleone quietly retreated.
Early in the morning, the morning fog was filled.
Edgar was ready to wait.
"Allow me to refuse the Edgars, it's still raining outside. Christine frowned, a worried expression.
"You're worrying too much, it's just a drizzle, and besides, sleeping in the open is just a daily routine for soldiers. ”
"But it's not good after all, if it suddenly rains heavily, it rains a lot last night. ”
"I believe that my soldiers have the qualities to endure all the harsh conditions. ”
"Wait, wait for the rain to stop. ”
Christine closed her eyes, stroked her bulging belly, and said happily: "The little guy is moving again, I'll go and rest for a while." ”
Edgar stopped talking, thinking of Christine being pregnant with Julian's child, and couldn't help but hang her head in frustration, "Wait, wait, wait for the lady to rest." ”
In this era of backward medical care, it is easy to get a fever when you accidentally get caught in the rain, but fever has become an incurable disease, and many people cannot afford to get sick because of it.
Although Edgar admits that Christine's concerns are justified, she is still overly kind and almost ignorant of the world, after all, guarding the security of the territory is also part of the war.
Just as Edgar pondered how to admonish the overly kind lady, Freya took him by the hand, "Come play, sir." ”
"Miss Freya!" Edgar exclaimed.
Although Freya is petite, she is Julian's cousin, the daughter of the Count of Slonia, and Edgar has no choice but to be dragged by her.
The spring rain is continuous, the spring rain is continuous, and I don't know when it will end.
