Chapter 20: Learning to Be "Forgiving"
Wait another half an hour? More than 20 minutes have passed since I came in just now...... Another half an hour, are you serious? Klein glanced at Abner a few times, thinking that the other party might be like this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Abner, who had seen his watch, didn't bother to explain, so he took care of himself and set up a situation in the lounge, and then burned the dress that the Empress had changed.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Abner took out the Empress's private fund project while lifting the spiritual blockade, pretended to talk to Klein, and then left the room at a staggered time.
Touching the "Determination of the Flames" ring on his finger, Crane maintained the usual posture of the empress that he had studied through the video before, and walked down the quiet corridor towards the ball scene.
Along the way, there were occasional waiters and maids passing by, but no one dared to look directly at Crane, and as soon as they saw the sumptuous evening dress, they all retreated to the sides and bowed their heads.
I'm afraid that any lady with a good temperament can wear this dress and go straight into the ball hall...... I have to say that sometimes, it's easier to play a big shot than an ordinary person......
Crane didn't squint, maintaining the haughty posture of an empress, and walked unhurriedly down the aisle paved with black stone bricks.
The melodious melody seems to be absent, and the elegant wall lamps on both sides burn with gas, lighting up the dark environment.
As soon as Klein approached another lounge, he saw the door open, and a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of it with a beautiful lady.
This man has brown hair and brown eyes, the contours of his facial features are not bad, and a pair of sword eyebrows add a lot of points to the whole face...... It's just that his eye bags are slightly puffy, the corners of his mouth are a little droopy, and his hairline is very high.
He was none other than the Empress's husband, Prince Millon, Robert Roman.
This gentleman was the heir to a duke before becoming Prince Milone, and also served in the navy, and he himself had the level of Sequence 6.
The test is coming...... Crane calmly leaned over and stopped in front of Robert Roman, glancing contemptuously at the lady who had followed Robert.
Robert only looked at the Empress with a calm face for a few seconds, then bowed hastily, and led the lady from another winter corridor to the direction of the dining room
Has the relationship between the couple reached the point where they don't say anything now? But it's convenient for me to play...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue walking towards the prom venue.
But at this moment, a red-haired girl suddenly walked out of another room and came to him.
She was wearing a relatively conservative red dress, with a hint of disappointment on her face.
Klein read the information of the girl in front of him, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, from the documents given by Abner, and knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Empress, the prince of the Vorsack Empire, and the eldest princess Anna Einhorn.
"Mother...... Don't you try to win back your father's heart? The girl Anna pursed her lips and said.
It's too advanced for me to ...... I don't plan to learn it! Klein complained in his heart, and said solemnly on the surface, "It's not your business......
Anna didn't seem to expect a word of admonition to ease her parents' relationship, she bit her lip, looked up at her mother, and said, "But at least, you shouldn't embarrass him in your father's mansion...... Besides, I know I'm not in a position to interfere with who you favor, but ......."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Crane's wave of his hand, "I repeat, this is not for you to consider!
"And at this stage, it is good for the empire and the church to win over a person who is a member of Mother Earth God."
Thinking back to the series of benefits that Dunn received, Crane casually pulled out a plausible reason.
The eldest princess was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, she shook her head slightly, and muttered to herself in distraction, "So this is also because of the trade-off of interests?
"You didn't abandon Count Herich, not because you disliked him, but because some of the financial benefits he could bring were not as good as the political benefits that this Mother Earth Goddess could bring?
"For the sake of profit, for the sake of so-called politics, you can even sell yourself...... Will I be like this in the future?"
Girl, you're thinking too much...... The reason why the Empress was alienated from the Count of Herich was because she was "dominated" by Abner...... Crane glanced at Anna and felt that if the eldest princess could maintain her current temperament, she might be a good monarch for her subjects when she inherited the throne.
While thinking in his heart, he stopped talking to Anna, turned from stillness, took a step around the other party, and walked into the hall.
Crane looked around, directed at the long table where the food was placed, and occasionally stopped to exchange pleasantries with those who approached him.
In the process, he found that he didn't need to understand the topic of the conversation, and only by giving the occasional nod, he could keep the conversation going on in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere until the end.
Sure enough, the identity of the big guy makes it easy to play in some aspects, but correspondingly, others are difficult...... Crane overcame many "obstacles" and finally reached the long table.
Fortunately, Her Majesty is not a picky eater...... And I don't pick either, whether it's chickens, ducks, cows and geese, I like them......
......
While Klein was pretending to be the Empress and enjoying a variety of delicacies, Abner brought the real Sophia II to the villages and towns near Conston.
"For the next two days, I will seal all your strength and let you survive in this land invaded by the Fusak army...
"One thing you can rest assured is that I'm going to put some hints on you so that everyone doesn't think of you as a pretty woman anymore, so you don't have to worry about anything too bad happening.
"I'll pick you up in two days' time, and I hope you'll understand what the revelry of the nobles of Vrsack has brought to the commoners.
If you want to learn tolerance, you must first learn to empathize, and if you want to learn empathy, you must first experience the situation of those who are struggling on the line of life and death! 「
After saying this, Abner directly issued an order to Sophia II as the "Archon of Death", telling her not to use any extraordinary abilities, not to identify herself, and not to leave the area for these two days.
Then, he disappeared into the void, leaving Sophia II, who had lost all her reliance, staring blankly at a group of hungry people not far away.
Fortunately, although she has no extraordinary abilities, and has temporarily forgotten the use of many weapons and fighting skills, her physical fitness blessed by potions is still there, which avoids the fate of being eaten by hungry people as soon as she lands......
