Chapter 16: Conspiracy and Reconciliation
Just as I grabbed the vial in my hand and sweetly turned and stepped through the door.
"Brother Carlos, how did you come to be like this, as the Holy Son of the Holy Land, your name has always been widely praised among the people, and someone must be secretly bewitching the people. ”
Mmmmm? Michelle's words aroused my strong curiosity, didn't Michel send people to hide in the people and throw eggs at Carlos or something?
Secretly, I hid in the corner of the room, ready to hear what Michelle had to say.
"It seems true that His Royal Highness Michelle said this, but we didn't offend anyone along the way?
The handsome guy Carlos wiped the dirt on his body with a gauze towel and asked the big bad wolf Michelle suspiciously.
"Lord Brian, please tell someone to remove these fierce dogs and signs, what is the matter? ”
Michelle put her arm around Carlos's shoulders, turned around and glanced at Lord Blackarmour, made a stealthy gesture, and whispered as she went.
"Well, it's all my fault, Your Highness Carlos, don't be surprised to say it, I suspect it's all a prank by my immature sister Arya, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure when I see her trailing you. ”
"Hmm!?X2"
Carlos and I asked at the same time, what kind of wishful thinking is Michelle, who specializes in pit sisters, is playing the wishful thinking of pit sisters, this is simply not too beastly, even my sister will not let go.
"But I haven't seen Sister Ling, and why does she want to fix me like this?"
Carlos looked at Michelle in confusion, and I secretly clenched my fists, gritted my teeth and stared at Michelle's pit.
"Actually, this was really unrelated, but my naughty sister didn't know where she heard that a team of paladins came from the Sanctuary to propose marriage, or it was the cardinal's personal order. You also know that children have a rebellious psychology against such big orders, let alone a man who is eight years older than himself, who do you say can accept it? ”
Michelle thumped her chest helplessly as she walked, as if she was feeling a headache for her naughty sister, and she was also dissatisfied and indignant about the order of the Sanctuary, profoundly showing the image of a good brother who was helpless for the sake of her sister.
"It is indeed a bit excessive, I see that Ling Mei is only a teenager, and it is the time when she is delicate and lively, and although it is the order of Archbishop Gil-Fordness, it is still a bit too much to force a little girl who is only eleven or twelve years old to marry a teenager of seventeen or eighteen. I don't know which of the adults in the Sanctuary is going to marry Ling Mei, Your Royal Highness Michelle, please rest assured, I, Carlos, will definitely seek justice for Ling Mei. ”
A pair of eyes under the brown broken hair bangs were as bright as stars, and Carlos looked at Michelle firmly and said solemnly, the sound of his right hand on the armor on his chest made people not doubt the weight of it.
"Well, in fact, you are also very familiar with this person, Carlos, and you can also say that you know it very well. ”
Michelle touched her chin and said with some embarrassment.
"Someone I know well? No, no one I know, as far as I know, would not take such an order that is insulting to the paladin's manner. ”
"Neither the cunning Kanriel nor the joking Milov could be. Who is it? Please let His Royal Highness Michel know. ”
Carlos's gaze is like a blade, and he can't seem to believe that his friend will be a pervert who dares to stretch out his black hand to Lori.
Michelle had no doubt that if she said the name of the man, an enraged Carlos would immediately break him to pieces.
"Well, actually, I don't think it's likely that he's a pedophile, after all, this kind of taste can be considered quite uninteresting. ”
Hearing Michelle's words, Carlos, who was quite indignant, looked at Michelle more and more pleasing to the eye, rumors are indeed rumors, how can the righteous and gentle His Royal Highness Michelle be the son of the devil.
"Actually, that person is you, Your Highness Karros Ivanov. I have received reliable news that you have come to propose marriage to my sister with an edict from Cardinal Gil-Fordenis of Sanctuary. ”
Michelle said something serious that shocked everyone.
"Nani?"
"Archbishop Gil just told His Majesty the Pope that His Highness Michel is very gifted with the Holy Light, and that he should be recruited to the Holy See's Paladin Academy to receive the faith of the Holy Light. I haven't received any news of marrying Sister Ling, Your Highness Michelle, are you mistaken?"
Carlos couldn't believe his ears, he had just come to welcome His Highness Michelle to the Sanctuary to learn the Holy Light Faith, when did he say that he was going to greet his relatives.
"It's true, there is no doubt that this is the conspiracy of Jill Fordnis, ostensibly a friendly exchange between the Sanctuary and the Twins, but behind the scenes it has tampered with the contents of the letter. ”
"He attempted to remove His Highness Carlos Ivanov, the current son of the Sanctuary, from the altar and then to bring Romond Fordnis to power. If you don't believe it, you can open the letter and look at it in person. ”
Michelle calmly commented on Carlos, looking confident.
"Mond-Fordenis, grandson of Archbishop Gil, that proud megalomaniac? No way, even if I am not the Son, Romond cannot be the Son. ”
"And what now, Your Highness Michelle?"
Carlos was in a trance, thinking of Archbishop Gil's more than one attack on his own teacher, obviously believing in Michelle's evil, and more inclined to think that Archbishop Gil really wanted to fight the paladin and push his grandson to the forefront.
"It's very easy to do, so let's pretend that there is no such thing as welcoming relatives, and take the first step to publicize the decree of His Royal Highness the Pope, saying that I, Michelle, have accepted the invitation of Archbishop Gil and are about to go to the Holy Land to study the faith of the Holy Light, and I should not know about the marriage request. ”
"As long as you make a sure decision that you only invited me to the Sanctuary, you will have maintained your reputation with your friends and fulfilled the Pope's mission, and we can treat it as if there was no such thing. ”
Michelle sincerely looked directly into Carlos's eyes, his eyes were slightly red and tears were flashing, the aura of a compassionate saint was added, his words were tragic and impassioned, just looking at Carlos on the opposite side of the moved straight swing, you know how successful Michelle's acting skills are.
"Your Highness Michel, you are a good young man of high moral character, and may the Holy Light always protect you. ”
"Well, well, calmly, child. My generation believes in the Knights of the Light, adheres to the path of the Guardians of the Light, and obeys the Knight's Declaration that I will never break the oath I once made. So be it, Sir Brian, and send His Highness Carlos down to rest. ”
Seeing that Carlos was trembling with excitement, Michelle gestured to the black-armored knight who was following him, and ordered the paladins to go down to rest.
"Can you come out? Arya. If I don't come out, I'll do it myself. ”
After the group left the room with the black-clad Ser Brian, Michelle spoke into the empty room with his hands behind his back.
Pit dad, although he knew that it was possible to be detected by Michelle, but he still didn't expect to be discovered so soon.
"Now, Brother Michelle, hehe, why didn't I know that an envoy from the Holy Land would come to me to propose marriage?
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and I was wisely prepared to take the lead and hit the opponent by surprise.
The imagination is very beautiful, but the reality will always give you a loud slap in the face and make you recognize the reality.
"Hmph, at a young age, you know how to attract bees and butterflies, compared to Elena, you are really just a drag oil bottle. ”
"When you should know, you will naturally know, and if you don't know, it's useless to think about it. Remember, for the family and Einves, the Wright family has no choice. ”
"That's all I'm going to say, and you'll be able to do it for yourself in the future. ”
After saying this, Michelle turned and walked out of the room quickly, leaving me alone in the room in a quiet daze.
Looking at Michelle's serious and cold eyes, I could see that he was angry now, although he didn't show it during the conversation, but compared to the previous unreliable, the serious Michelle made me feel more strange, strange and unapproachable.
Inexplicably, the quiet door of the room made me feel terrible, and I could clearly hear my own breathing, my own heartbeat.
I was silent, silent, thinking about the meaning of Michelle's last self-contained sentence. Are they going to give me some hints, or are they already disgusted with me.
To be honest, I fell in love with this family, everyone smiled very really, and although it was unreliable at times, I knew that they really wanted me to integrate into the family quickly.
In the past, I always fantasized about having a home in another world, loving my parents and crying with my loving brother.
But after all of this all of a sudden, I always have some unreal feelings, and I always have a little bit of wariness of the people who care about me.
But in Michelle's last sentence, I gradually realized that I was so selfish now.
The trace of vigilance that he hides, maybe he doesn't realize it, but for those who really like him, it is the biggest harm.
Gradually, my vision became blurred, my eyes felt hot and moist, my nose was a little sore, and there was a trace of sourness in my heart inexplicably.
"Arya, so you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time. Alan said you hit him and injured yourself, let me see where it hurts!"
"Why are you still crying, tell me who it is, Sister Amira is going to give you a breath!"
An extremely pleasant female voice came, which also shattered the last trace of defense in my heart, and tears poured out silently. Looking at the beautiful and delicate wood elf Amira in front of me, I hugged her waist tightly and choked up.
"Sister Amira, I... Wrong... Forehead... yes, I was really wrong... I love... Hello to you, you... Don't hate yourselves... Me!"
