Chapter 145: Kayla's Claim
The Astania Church is based in an abandoned house in the lower city, and this strong entry church has a bad reputation in the city, if not very bad. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no one likes this kind of mischievous guest, so it is not surprising that they are stationed.
Dirty streets with sewage and the smell of excrement turn this place into a place that teaches suffocation.
Shirinya, who had been a nobleman for two months, didn't walk through the streets with her nose covered like other nobles, but her slightly furrowed brow also showed that she didn't like the smell of the place.
The poor people living at the bottom of the road sat or lay down on both sides of the road at will, and if it weren't for a few guards around Shilinya, these people living below the subsistence line would have stretched out their dirty hands to the aristocratic girl in front of them.
Every nobleman would do things like giving relief to the poor, and Shilinya was no exception, but it could not solve the living conditions of these poor.
The dark underworld, hidden beneath poverty, has rendered these nobles' displays of mercy useless.
Today, instead of going to the lower city to inspect the living conditions of the people, Shilinya is invited by Christina - in fact, it is Alicia who is invited, but Alicia refuses the other party's invitation - and can only get Shilina to agree to the other party's invitation.
The Astania Church was a place where it was stationed and the squalid lower town, the dilapidated buildings were cleaned up, and a large number of poor people came and went in the camp, all of whom were sick people who had come here for treatment β I don't know if they were trying to restore the image of the people or to establish a good image here β and now this church was treating the citizens free of charge.
The premise is that you believe in Astania or have full respect for Astania.
Buying people's hearts, or expanding influence.
Shilinya was very upset by the actions of this uninhabited church, but the helplessness of reality forced her to bow to the other party - now Ankitan needed their strength.
Shilinya's arrival was quickly noticed by the undead of the Fran who were guarding, and without any greetings or explanations, Shilinya arrived at the place where Christina was, a dimly lit room filled with the smell of all kinds of strange potions.
The room was completely shrouded in darkness, but it wasn't enough to obscure Shilinya's vision.
In the middle of the room, a blazing flame provided ample light for the room.
Shirinya looked at the flame in amazement, for the composition of the flame was very strangeβthe branches that had been randomly piled up underneath were stuck in a flaming sword.
The sword Shilinya knew, as it was the one Christina used against the Faceling Assassins, but it now served as a source of light.
The flaming sword did not surprise Shilinya much, what really surprised Shilinya was the branches under the fire sword, the branches surrounded by flames did not show any signs of burning but were full of infinite vitality - green grass miraculously grew on the ground around the fire, as if spring had come after a long time.
The grass that grows on the ground of the indoor in winter reveals infinite weirdness.
Shilinya was thinking about this strange situation, and a female knight in armor interrupted all of Shilinya's thoughts with a gesture.
The iron gloves that swayed freely in front of Shilinya made Shilinya feel a sense of teasingβlike a naughty child teasing someone who was thinking.
This female knight is Christina's bodyguard, who also serves as her knight's lover.
This strange female knight still made Shilinya feel infinitely familiar, Shilinya didn't know where this familiar feeling came from, but the female knight who was like an intimate person made her care very much.
"Don't look at it, this is an artifact given to me by the goddess, not the impostor you have. A mocking voice came out of the darkness.
The white woman also appeared in the darkness with the voice, with a tone and expression that made Shilinya want to teach this woman a lesson.
"I wonder what the hell is Lady Christina inviting me to come?" With a false smile on her face, Shilinya tried her best to suppress her anger.
"I'm not calling you, I'm calling your mother. β
Such an answer made Shilinya, who had a very bad temper in the past few days, turn around and leave directly.
"But you can come, I called you this time because of your sister's business. β
Sister, the pronunciation of the two words is particularly heavy, and it seems that she is deliberately emphasizing the importance of these two words.
In fact, Christina doesn't need to emphasize these two words at all, because Shilinya will definitely stop herself because of what the other party said.
"And what's the matter?" a bad premonition welled up in her mind, and Shirinya's instinct told her that she wouldn't bring her any good news.
"Let's move on first. β
A faint smile loomed in the brown eyes, allowing infinite malice to begin to spread in the only bare eye.
In desperation, Shilinya could only follow the other party's steps to the dark corner, where there was a hidden wooden door of the room, the human fear of the dark made Shilinya feel cowardly, but the concern for Kayla made her have to muster up courage.
Now Shilinya is alone, and the Daleff and the guards who accompanied her have been left outside by the other party, and if the other party has any unfriendly behavior now, Shilinya has no chance to resist.
"It doesn't need to be like this. Christina's voice seemed to soothe Shilinya's emotions right now.
"We are now in a partnership, and I will not strangle this hard-won friendship in the cradle. A door was opened by a woman in white, and another darkness was visible to Shilinya.
"You are now physically strengthened, and the method of strengthening is provided by me to your motherβthis is a testimony of our friendship. β
The gesture of invitation signaled that Shilinya could enter the room, and only this time did Shilinya see the other party make the only friendly gesture.
Shirinya, who had forcibly composed, followed the invitation and entered the room, which was illuminated by only a few faint lights.
"Why don't you light more lamps?" said Shilinya, a long-buried question, where she saw Kayla lying quietly on the bedβthe poor child now had no original look of madness, only dead peace.
"Only those who are trapped by darkness can feel the preciousness of the beating flame of life, life has always been full of enthusiasm like a flame, and only the flame can guide the confused out of the confusion in their hearts. β
"That's why we all like to burn some heretics at the stake, and only under the inspiration of the flames can they convert to the true god Astania!"
An incomprehensible fanatic, Shilinya didn't expect that the other party would be able to lead the conversation to religion in this way.
"Tell me what's going on?
"Your sister is fine now, but I came to you to tell you that I found something 'interesting'. The "funny" in her accentuated tone made Shirinya feel uneasy.
It seems that what the other party thinks is interesting is based on Shilinya's body.
Without much explanation, Christina led Shilinya to Kayla's side, and her hand in white stockings gently stretched the little girl's eyelids open, showing her eyes to Shilinya's.
Purple eyes!
"What did you do?" Shilinya, who took a deep breath, tried to suppress her emotions, and Shilinya's first reaction was that the other party was engaged in some conspiracy.
"I didn't do anything. The innocent woman in white spread her hands to show her attitude.
However, such words and actions could not gain Shirinya's trust.
"I didn't do anything, on the contrary, I found something interesting in this one child's body-" Christina, who deliberately hung her appetite, deliberately lengthened her tone.
The calm Shilinya watched the other party's performance coldly, although her movements and expressions were very good, Shilinya would not react to the other party's provocation.
"I found some dyeing drugs in this child's body β drugs that change the color of a certain part of the body for a short period of time, and because of the long period of use, these drugs have accumulated in her body. β
The curiosity of discovering a new continent appeared in Christina's eyes.
Shilinya understood the other party's intention this time - threaten!
Purple eyes were once a symbol of imperial royalty, and now Shilinya's illegitimate sister also has purple eyes, a favorite family ethics drama and an intricate battle for the throne.
It is known that many years after Alicia's disappearance, Alain took the two-year-old Kayla to Anjitan, who was advertised as an illegitimate daughter born after a one-night affair with a prostitute, but definitely not a prostitute with royal blood.
The purple eyes, the symbol of the imperial family of the empire, will only exist in the direct line of the emperor and the collateral of the two generations, so judging by this one basis - Kayla is not only Shilinya's sister, but also Shilinya's niece, niece, aunt and other messy kinship.
If it's just a family mess, Shilinya will definitely not mind, and others will turn a blind eye to it - incest is not uncommon in large families in the empire, and as long as they don't go too far, no one will express any opinion.
But the problem now is that Kayla is likely to be the claimant to the throne - it is unknown whether she is strong or weak. Now in the midst of the Imperial Civil War, what will happen to Shilinya, Kayla, and Alicia, the three people with royal claims, gathered in Anjitan?
Shilinya thinks that it will definitely not be a good thing, and now both sides of the civil war want as few of these close relatives as few royals as possible.
