Chapter 83 Submitted for consideration
With a look of surprise, Agnes asked, "You're still going to listen to a speech on the street?" β
Rhaenys shrugged her shoulders slightly and said, "No, I just happened to see a lot of people gathered on the street during my shift, and out of a concern for public safety, I went to see what was going on." β
"I guess that should be the duty of the police." Agnes said with a smile.
"After all, we also hold the National Police Department's badge." Rhaenys said with a wink, she looked a little less nervous.
"Well, what was Aurelio talking about at the time?" Agnes asked casually.
Rhaenys thought for a moment and said, "It seems that you are talking about what guild will oppress apprentice helpers?" He was not the main speaker, as if he had been invited by the speaker, and he only spoke for a while before leaving. β
Agnes nodded, not saying anything.
"To be honest, your brother's speech was quite infectious. But maybe it was because when I first saw him at that time, he was standing on the side of the stage, expressionless, without saying a word, looking at the keynote speaker's speech, looking very serious, and subconsciously felt that he was a very serious person. Rhaenys commented.
"But privately he didn't think quite the same as I thought."
Agnes tilted her head slightly and said, "Really?" I haven't seen him with a straight face. β
Rhaenys couldn't help but laugh, and she said, "Of course, in front of us Agnes, how can we bear to put down our faces? β
"Oh, what does it have to do with me?" Agnes raised an eyebrow and asked, "It should be the reason why he is more relaxed at home, right?" β
"I can see that your brother is very relaxed in front of you," Rhaenys said, reaching out to help Agnes pin a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ear, "but that's normal, if I had a sister like you...... It's a gift from the Mother Goddess. β
Agnes twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.
Rhaenys looked at Agnes' reaction with a smile on her face, and then said, "When I first saw you, I was actually thinking, whose little lady is this, it's so cute to pretend to be serious, especially when you retreat in front of you in Nigada......"
Agnes couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, I won't tease you." Rhaenys said, curbing the smile on her face.
"To be honest, I knew I wanted to ask when you wanted to suppress it, but there were so many people at the institute and church that there wasn't a good opportunity." Rhaenys sighed and said, "How did the curse on your body come in, can it be lifted, can't you say any of this?" β
Agnes restrained the expression on her face, hesitated for a long time before replying softly, "The curse was not planted by anyone, I am afraid that it will accompany me in different forms for the rest of my life in the future." β
Rhaenys opened her mouth to ask something, but Agnes just looked at her in silence.
"Okay, okay, what about the Curse Enhancer?" Rhaenys asked, sighing.
Agnes was silent for a moment before she said, "Mr. Accardo got out of control last night. β
Rhaenys paused for a moment before forcing a not-so-good-looking smile on her face and said, "Really? No wonder...... Is he fallen? β
"No, it's just a loss of control and a monster." Agnes carefully looked at Rhaenys' expression and said carefully.
Rhaenys looked a little stunned, and after a long time, she sighed and said, "Well, there are so many people in the church who are out of control because of the fall, I almost forgot that even without the temptation of the evil god, the extraordinary ones themselves are at great risk of getting out of control. β
"I used to scold him secretly, but now that I think about it, he is still very serious and responsible, and he always finds fault with me just because I have some talent and hopes that I can do better." Rhaenys lowered her head slightly and said.
"A person like him is probably very unhappy in his heart when he dies like a monster instead of leaving with dignity."
Agnes just looked at Rhaenys quietly and didn't speak.
"Forget it, don't talk about him." Rhaenys lowered her gaze slightly to change the subject, and she asked, "You said that you took this test to participate in one of the Warden's missions, and that you were preparing to leave the Heart of Nature and enter the Warden?" β
......
Agnes reclined on the cushion behind the seat of the carriage, her eyes slightly empty, looking out at the street through the window.
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! β
"The abolition of the executive council has been submitted to the Senate of the Kingdom for consideration."
"Speaker Elsa announced that the defense of the coast of the Disi area will be strengthened."
"Best Street is really lively in the morning." Agnes watched as a gentleman in formal dress walked up to the newsboy and bought a newspaper from him.
"Best Street isn't a big place." Rhaenys said with a smile.
"Most of the people who live here are busy with work and come and go, and there are basically no major events except for the big festivals."
"It's not like Hartle Street, where you can always hear the sound of Ditsy and hear a lot of speeches and debates."
Agnes nodded, but did not speak.
The carriage stopped, and Rhaenys stepped out of it, waving her hand at Agnes through the window.
Agnes smiled as Rhaenys turned and walked towards her home.
"Miss, shall we go back now?" The maid Herty asked as she walked into the carriage.
"Don't worry, you go buy me a newspaper first." Agnes shook her head slightly and said.
Hetty bowed, turned and walked out, soon walking in with a newspaper in hand.
The smell of ink rushed into Angnes' nostrils, and the first thing she saw was a bold headlineβ"Abolition of the Executive Council Billed to the Senate of the Kingdom for Consideration."
Agnes frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, miss, but the newspapers in the newsboy's place are of inferior quality." Hetty said with some annoyance when she saw Agnes' frown.
Agnes shook her head and said to Hetty, "Tell the coachman that we're going to Hartlle Street." β
Hetty turned and stepped out of the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly.
Agnes looked down and read the heading.
"The day before yesterday, a bill to abolish the guild system was submitted to the Senate of the Kingdom for consideration."
The bill was spearheaded by Count Paganey at the beginning of the year and subsequently received a high degree of support from a large number of parliamentarians. ...... The bill sought to abolish the privileges granted by King Vittorio II 250 years ago, such as the right to set prices and contract taxes, and to crack down on guild interference in municipal administrations. ...... The chaos of guild intervention in municipal administration has existed for a long time. It is reported that as early as twenty years ago, the municipality of Norwich filed a petition with the House of Representatives to directly deprive the guild of its privileges...... According to reliable sources, the bill will enter the formal debate session within a week, and the amendment and vote will be completed within this year. β
The city of Norwich is located east of Fenerport and is a small town near Seville.
Agnes let out an inaudible sigh.
"Three-month ......"
