Chapter 140: Prince Baird
The first heir to the throne of the empire, Prince Baird, is now Chinese New Year's Eve three years of upright and prime, has a gentle personality, is friendly with most of the nobles, and has been supported by the nobles, and his wife Princess Mayvis is the sister of the Duke of the West, so she has also received the full support of the nobles of the West, and has two sons and a daughter with her wife.
It can be said that Prince Baird's inheritance is so solid that no one can pry his position as the first heir.
At this time, Julian had dinner with Rosalind and Prince Baird, as well as their children.
It seems that the husband and wife live in harmony.
"You have an enviable wife and excellent children"
Flawless, flawless, perfect origin, perfect family, what an enviable guy.
Julian sipped his glass of wine as he observed the family.
Prince Baird smiled shyly, "I just want them to be happy." ”
At first glance, he seems to be a man with no ambitions.
After talking for a while, Julian felt bored.
If I were to serve this boring monarch, I would rather kill myself.
Prince Baird's conduct was too good, and Julian saw the soul of a sixty-six-year-old under the thirty-three-year-old skin of Prince Baird.
"I've heard you've been getting close to Claude lately. ”
"Uh...," Yurian was surprised, "there is indeed a relationship. ”
"I guess I was asked by Lygia. ”
"It was indeed His Highness Claude who Lygia introduced me. ”
"Well, I think so, too. "Claude has no one to talk to other than a few of our siblings, and it would be nice if you could be friends with him." ”
Baird genuinely cares about Claude, much to Julian's surprise, who originally thought that the two were not in a good relationship.
"I thought that Your Highness Baird, you were just as biased against His Highness Claude as everyone else. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor does not like my excessive contact with Claude, but Claude and I were both born to the same mother, and as an elder brother I have a duty to take care of him. Claude doesn't seem to like me very much, though, and since Joanna left, the only person who has been able to stay with Claude is Lycia.
Lycia is gifted and intelligent, and I think she must have seen that you were different from the others, so she introduced Claude to you. ”
"I see. If it is the order of His Highness Baird. ”
"It's not a command, it's a request, and I like you to treat my stupid brother as an equal. ”
"Is it not the cause of Claude's misfortune that the church has brought it to them, and instead of showing mercy to those who are born crippled, they have tarnished their reputations. ”
The physical disability is the mutilation of the soul, and the mutilation of the soul is due to the wickedness of the soul, and under the propaganda of the Church, people born with physical disabilities are not only not cared for, but are disgusted and spurned.
As a result, few children born with disabilities in this world survive to adulthood, and most of them are abandoned.
"This .......," said Baird, grimacing, "Heavenly Father guides us. ”
Ambiguous answer.
"I'm not saying bad things about my Heavenly Father. I believe that God the Father is loving, so I don't believe that such cruelty comes from the Father's Word. ”
"The church is the shepherd of the Father walking on earth, and we should naturally obey it. ”
"Your Highness, I don't think so, maybe the current church has become a pawn of the devil, after all, the archangels who serve by the side of God the Father have fallen. ”
"Julian!" Rosalind scolded.
"I'm sorry Your Highness, but my brother was so rude. ”
Prince Baird, who had just woken up from a dream, turned a little pale, "No, I think Julian should just be drunk." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, please forget what you just said, it's just a joke. Julian staggered to his feet, as if he was really drunk, "I'll go outside and blow the wind." ”
The spring breeze was blowing, as if he was really a little drunk, but Julian knew that he was very sober.
The sound of the approaching footsteps was particularly pleasant, and I didn't know that the lazy servant hadn't swept away the dead leaves.
"Your Excellency Julian. ”
Julian turned around and saw that it was Baird's eldest son, Charles. Charles was about the same age as Julian, a veritable beautiful man, with a handsome face with sharp edges and axes, and broken blond hair, which won the affection of Urban II.
"Prince Charles, why are you here? ”
"Like Your Excellency, I'm a little drunk. ”
"It's no joke. Julian laughed.
Charles drank juice.
"I think Your Excellency is right, the church is so greedy that their faces are more hateful than those of the tax collectors when they tithe. ”
Charles, in contrast to his father, made no secret of his dislike for the church.
Tithes are a religious tax levied by the Church on the inhabitants, mainly for the salaries of the clergy and for the daily expenses of the Church, as well as for almsgiving, which requires believers to contribute one-tenth of their income for religious causes, as required by the Church authorities or by law. The system established by the collection of tithes is also known as the tithing system, or tithes for short.
"They run amok in the name of the gods, but they say that they are the Father. Charles said resentfully.
"It seems that His Highness is a like-minded partner with me. ”
"The church should not interfere in politics, they have broken taboos, and when I ascend the throne that day, I will definitely make them look good. ”
"Amazing ambition. ”
Julian flattered him verbally, but he disdained it in his heart, you haven't become an emperor yet, you want to be an emperor?!
"At that time, I hope Your Highness will allow me to help you. ”
"Of course, Yurianqing. ”
On the carriage back, Rosalind couldn't help but reprimand: "Julian, you are too rude, if these words reach the ears of the church, it will cause a lot of trouble." ”
Julian didn't care, and said, "Believe it or not, in a few days, Prince Baird will take the initiative to invite me to go out with me." ”
Julian saw through Baird's temperament at a glance, and his personality was gentle and even a little cowardly. Baird wanted to be friends with anyone, even a renegade like Julian, and Baird didn't want to offend.
