Chapter 59: A Night Visit to the Governor's Palace
When Marven accompanied Dai Lisi and his party to the Governor's Palace, it was already late at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike the dilapidated atmosphere in the city, the tall and luxurious Governor's Palace is magnificent, and the magic chandeliers hanging high emit a halo of colorful light, illuminating the entire Governor's Palace in a golden and splendid manner, like a royal palace.
As soon as Dai Lisi's carriage stopped at the gate of the governor's palace, Marven found a fat figure dressed in fine clothes and full of jewels holding a huge beer belly, walking towards the carriage with a smile on his face. From the noble medal pinned to his chest with the finest diamonds, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this fat man------ Governor of St. John's Empire in Morowing, Greco.
As if he knew that Princess Delis was coming, Governor Greco stood outside the door early and waited, and after Princess Delis got out of the carriage, Greco bent down to her and gave a kiss to her with a noble demeanor, but because he was too strong to bend down, he finally had to grab the slender jade hand of Her Royal Highness the princess and put it on his mouth, which was the end of the salute.
At Greco's invitation, Princess Talis and her party slowly walked into the hall of the Doge's Palace.
The hall of the Doge's Palace is extremely luxurious, the floor of the hall is paved with jade, and the ceiling of the house is inlaid with countless night pearls, like a clear night sky, and dozens of huge magic chandeliers are suspended in the air, reflecting this hall that is 100 meters square as if it were day.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Dalys, you are very welcome, your beauty is enough to reflect the entire Habsburg night sky, I don't know why you are visiting the humble house late at night?" Greco's fat face was full of smiles, and his eyes were almost squinted into a slit and looked at Dalic in a daze.
"Your Excellency the Governor is polite, the friendship between the two countries has a long history, and as a member of the royal family of Morowing, it is the etiquette of a subject country to come to visit the Governor. Dai Lisi bowed slightly, and her tone was soft.
"It's... Her Royal Highness is knowledgeable and well-versed, but she has made a lot of contributions to the friendship between the two countries, but, alas, ......" Chief Greco sighed, "I have really wronged Your Highness for so many years, if it weren't for the old king's greed and big mistakes, which led to the deposition of the royal family, which would have been his turn to be the king of the country!" Greco looked resentful.
The corners of Princess Dalyse's eyes twitched slightly, and she held her cheeks, falling into painful memories.
At the end of the War of the Roses, the old king of Morowing, Bode V, saw that the defeat of the human alliance was assured, and in order to avoid the total annihilation of his own army, the old king made a seemingly shrewd move at the decisive battle------- withdrew all his troops without authorization.
As a result, this move not only failed to save Morowing's imminent collapse, but also made the entire royal family a scapegoat for the defeat of the human alliance. After the defeat of the human alliance, Morowing's geographical location was also invaded by the Night Elves, and a large area of the country was lost. In the end, it was the treacherous terrain of Morovingian who took advantage of the treacherous terrain to block the elven army's attack and kept the fragile country alive.
The outcome of the war was undoubtedly disastrous for the self-proclaimed royal family of Morowing, and the old king was deposed by the Church of Light on the grounds that the pagans were not completely purged and that they were not able to cooperate in the war. And Odinand, by virtue of his military exploits, was canonized by the emperor as the Grand Duke of Moloving.
However, despite the canonization of the Archduke by Odinand, the young commander who had no noble blood and acted in a deviant manner was unanimously ostracized by the aristocracy, and now, not only the nobles of Morowingian were bent on restoring royal legitimacy, but even the upper echelons of the St. John's Empire were dissatisfied with the young archduke.
"Divine authority of the king, Lord Governor, it is not at all in line with the teachings of the gods to let a lowly commoner rule the country, and the throne of Moloving's monarch will still fall back into the hands of our royal family sooner or later!" Princess Dalys's pupils shrank, and her tone revealed endless hatred.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is right, only nobles of noble blood are worthy of sitting in the throne of the monarch, and the practice of the Empire and the Church back then was only an expedient measure to calm the people's anger after the defeat, I hope Your Highness can understand the difficulties of the Empire, I promise! The Empire will never provide any substantial support to Odinand's regime, and I believe that in the near future, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be able to successfully restore the royal family and restore orthodoxy!" Greco smiled gently, and his eyes always wandered over Delis's delicate figure.
Dai Lisi's face was cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency's guarantee doesn't seem to be very strong, on the way here, I found that there are actually a lot of troops from your country helping Odinan to garrison our city......" Dai Lisi raised her head and looked directly at Greco, "Aren't you afraid of chilling the nobles of the two countries by doing this?"
"Misunderstanding, Your Highness Princess, this is a misunderstanding. Greco shook his head and smiled: "Morowing has encountered war and demon invasion, as the suzerain, the empire has to do its part for the stability of Morowing." His eyes were unscrupulously fixed on Talis's proud twin peaks. As the governor of the empire, he had long heard of the former Morowingian princess Dalys's collusion with the demons, and this princess was looking for him at this time, and the intention could not be clearer, although he had no intention of interfering in Morowing's war at this time, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
Princess Talis smiled faintly, "It is understandable for the empire to mobilize troops for the stability of Morowing, but I am afraid that Odinan will take advantage of this opportunity to develop rapidly, and in the future, it will be difficult to deal with!"
"Well, Odinan is not small, and he is cunning, so he has to be careful!" Greco nodded in agreement, thinking that the dignified Imperial Army actually gave a guy from a civilian background a free thug, he felt angry, after the Imperial Army intervened in the battle of Morowing, not only could it greatly reduce the defense pressure of Morowing's army, but with the mutual attrition of the Imperial Army and the demons, Morowen also gained a precious respite.
And what made him even more angry was that Odinan actually dared to default on the tribute of the empire, which was completely not to take him as a governor in his eyes, thinking about the other governors of the empire, all of them were living the life of the emperor in the subordinate countries, and he was so rich, he was good, not only did he not get half of the benefits, but he wanted to paste the empire's army upside down, and when he thought of this, he felt unbalanced in his heart.
"Lord Governor, I can promise the Empire that once I ascend to the throne, Morowing's tribute will be double what it is now!" Dai Lisi put down the teacup in her hand with a solemn expression.
As soon as the words were spoken, Greco was overjoyed and immediately promised to withdraw the Imperial troops in the near future, and to help Princess Dalyse gain more support from the upper echelons of the Empire.
Dai Lisi smiled and said: "Your Excellency Governor Lao has bothered, in order to help us restore stability in Morowin, it can be said that you have worked hard, in order to express your gratitude, I have prepared some small gifts, I hope that Your Excellency Governor can accept it with a smile." ”
"Where...... Where, Her Royal Highness the princess is too polite, assisting your country to restore order and stability is originally our business......" Greco's face was red at the moment, and a pair of fat hands rubbed excitedly.
Princess Dalyse whispered a few words to the attendant beside her, and after receiving the order, the attendant quickly walked out of the governor's palace, like a ghost.
"The gift is a bit special and inconvenient to transport, so I hope the Governor waits, I hope you like it." Princess Talis nodded to the Governor, and she gently took off the coat that had made her a little hot, whether intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on her chest.
Greco's eyes couldn't take off Dalys, and a pair of misty eyes stared directly at the gift from Her Royal Highness the **** princess hidden under the corset, it was a national gift, and it was really my honor to get such a grand courtesy!"
Marven looked at the boring performance of the two of them, shook his head, and just drank tea in a muffled voice, anyway, there was nothing for him here, and Greco also regarded him as an air-like existence, and he was happy on the sidelines.
After a while, the attendant who had gone out went and returned, still empty-handed, but soon after he entered, there was a sudden chaotic footsteps at the door!
Could it be ...... This princess is going to ...... Marven quickly looked up at Dai Lis, and couldn't help but be surprised to see that she was still talking and laughing with the governor.
Thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, the Governor's Palace was heavily guarded, and it was not easy to assassinate him, and although the footsteps outside were chaotic, there was no sound of fighting, it seemed that this Dalyse was really here to give gifts.
Talis raised her wrist and clapped her hands slightly, and two other long-disappeared guards appeared in the hall, followed by a group of bright and scantily clad young girls.
One of the attendants brought the girls to Greco and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, Governor, we thank you for your hard work day and night, and have selected some beautiful women from China to serve you well and relieve your fatigue. ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's intimacy is really touching......" Greco's gaze swept lightly over those beautiful girls, and then fell on Dai Lis, "But although these beauties are beautiful, they are just some vulgar fans, where can they compare to Your Royal Highness the Princess, your grace and luxury, and all kinds of amorous ......"
"Hehe......" Talis chuckled, "I knew that the Governor had good tastes, so naturally we wouldn't just give some vulgar ......powder," she then instructed her attendants to bring all the gifts from behind.
The attendant bowed away respectfully, left the hall, and after a moment, walked in with a "gift".
"This is ......" Marven almost exclaimed in surprise, his pupils flinched, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Behind the attendants, a column of children less than ten years old rushed in, all handsome, but all of them showed a look of trepidation. Marven counted carefully, there were as many as eight.
Greco's gaze immediately moved away from Princess Dalys's seductive breasts, and fell on those pink and handsome children, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is the most understanding, yes, yes, this is the best gift I have ever received in my life." He hurriedly beckoned the attendant to bring the children to him, and the fat all over his body trembled with excitement, and the lewd light in his eyes scrutinized those lovely children one by one.
"I have long heard that the Governor is of noble character, benevolent, and extremely caring for children, so I have brought in some orphaned children who have lost their relatives in the war and handed them over to adults for adoption. Dressis smiled gently, but her eyes were full of pride.
The Governor of Greco himself was a good martial artist, but his hobby of eating, drinking, and merrymaking far surpassed any martial arts, and although he was lustful, he had an extremely unusual taste, and the Morowingian royal family had taken great pains to prepare gifts for him before coming.
Greco couldn't wait to run out of his seat, and took one of the most handsome boys into his arms, and a pair of fat hands kept roaming over the child, "The children of your country are really pitiful and lovely, your highness, don't worry, I will definitely love these children well!"
The boy whom he had embraced in his arms struggled at first, but the governor looked amiable and acted in a manner that seemed to be extremely gentle. The unknown child gradually gave up the struggle, snuggled in his arms, and let him caress him.
Seeing this, Greco became even more obscene, and his fat big hand directly unscrupulously pulled away the child's clothes, and explored inside against the soft skin.
"The love of the Doge is truly touching, and we at Morowin are honored to have such a benevolent and loving Doge as you, and your outstanding contribution to the stability of the order, your noble character, and your benevolent deeds such as taking in the orphans of war will all go down in history, and your name will be sung through the ages, and your statue will stand in the middle of the Habsburgs for the people of Morowing!"
Princess Dai Lisi's beautiful eyes are full of beautiful words. Greco also dared to be refreshed after hearing this, and looked at the handsome and beautiful children, and felt even more comfortable. He casually hugged a little girl who looked like seven or eight years old, and tried to pretend to be a seemingly kind smile on his fat face, but the saliva at the corner of his mouth flowed uncontrollably.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's love is also very touching, you have traveled thousands of miles, all the way, and you are always concerned about the orphaned children in the country, you are a born king, the greatest mother of this country, your kindness and fraternity will go down in history forever, you will be the queen of Morowing, for the people to support ...... forever"
"Alas......" Greco changed his words, sighed thoughtfully, he looked at the two bewildered children in his arms, and pretended to be compassionate, "This Odinan regime is unpopular with the people, and it has led to a long-term war in Morowing, and it is really a pity for these lonely children!" Don't be afraid, child, come here, you don't have to suffer, uncle will accompany you to take a bath, and then change into beautiful clothes, and will accompany you well at night, obedient ......"
Hearing that he seemed to have something in his words, Princess Dalys's eyes lit up, "Morowing's war under Odinan is full of disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living, and I hope that the Governor can truthfully report the situation here to the Emperor." ”
"That's nature, it's necessary for the whole empire to know the truth. ”
Marven had a strong urge to vomit, and the performance of the two of them made him feel extremely nauseous. He regretted coming with him, and at the moment he even felt more comfortable staying in Ramadi, which was full of corpses and rotting flesh, with the company of the Bloods, than staying here.
At this moment, he had no good impression of the gentle and lovely Princess Duris in front of him, as if there was an ugly and hideous devil hidden under her beautiful appearance.
Marven lowered his head, no longer looked at the two of them, picked up a glass of bitter wine on the table, raised his head and drank it all.
