Chapter 170: Before the Rite of Passage

"Can I understand that you are going tomorrow and can't change it?"

"Listen to the truth or lie to it?"

"Of course it's a lie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Go. ”

"Well, it looks like you've made your decision. ”

After a few inexplicable conversations, Master Quentin quickly gave up his extraordinarily precious generosity, to be honest, the result was a bit unexpected, according to the degree of knowledge he knew about the wasteland and the Alfred helmsman these days, he originally thought that Augustus would still be able to accept his proposal, because he should be a cold-blooded and very good at maximizing profits, in his eyes, the so-called hot blood and so-called impulses, should be childish and ridiculous, only interests, only he and his sister Elizabeth are the most important- Then what reason did he have to reject his kindness? Was it just a war, but he refused quite simply, especially since he also analyzed the premise that Augustus did not have to worry about Elizabeth at all, and was it because of Sophia? This is even more unlikely, and Master Quentin would definitely not believe that this sensible and cold-blooded young Alfred at the helm would go to hell because of his so-called feelings, and he barely thought about his most important Elizabeth.

He couldn't figure it out.

Augustus couldn't figure it out either.

He knew that the current situation was basically certain death, although he still had his old butler beside him, but after all, this was the imperial capital, and the imperial capital was so big, who could guarantee that there would be no other shocking old monsters except for the legendary undefeated god of war Carthage? It is also the only life-saving straw, as for whether there will be other traps after grasping this straw, at least it must be considered after he floats up and will not die; besides, he himself is better at taking advantage of the situation and grabbing the straw handed by Young Master Quentin, who can be sure what will happen to him in the future? So what reason does he have to simply refuse Quentin?

Augustus was expressionless.

Suddenly remembered that when he was at Alfred Castle, the girl cried in a low voice and said, Augustus, I like you, and then the picture suddenly returned to the diary written in the tears, but he didn't like me, and the last thing that came to his mind was in the royal manor of the imperial capital, she stood alone in front of him and blocked all his enemies and asked him, "Will you come on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony?"

Augustus subconsciously raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Quickly dispelling the picture in his mind, his eyes were firm, it was definitely not the reason, you know, when he was in the wasteland, he knew very well that he had to refuse no matter what, he and her, can only be people from two worlds, not to mention that now he wants him, and even pulled Elizabeth's life, just so that he promised to appear at her coming-of-age ceremony? This is so ridiculous and ridiculous, how could he do such a childish and stupid thing?

Augustus emphasized over and over again, and told himself over and over again that the reason why he would go tomorrow had nothing to do with her, but he didn't want to flee the imperial capital in embarrassment, if he couldn't leave some indelible marks for the imperial capital before leaving, this trip to the imperial capital would definitely bring him the greatest shame that he could never forget for the rest of his life.

Besides, there is also the rich return of the Mammoth Roulette, which is more than 1 million Bourbon gold coins, isn't it worth his gamble?

So he thought so, and he believed it.

Well, no matter what the reason is, a man, especially a young man, doesn't have a bit of wanton killing spirit, and when he gets old, I'm afraid he will regret it.

Augustus was afraid that he would regret it.

......

"I'm sorry I said that, but I have to tell you. ”

Silent for a moment, Young Master Quentin, who had no smile, seemed to be a little heavy, and he said slowly: "That's all I can do, since you don't accept it, tomorrow you will have to face the hatred of the whole Stanford alone, you may not know very well, the blood made by your sister and your old butler in Stanford has made the Stanford gang suspect that you are the starting point of the war between Zolo and Stanford, and they will definitely fight back with all their might, not to mention Austin after Stanford- Herman, well, even without mentioning Austin, the tiny Stanford in our eyes is definitely a giant that you can't defeat, Augustus, I can't help you in any way, all I can do is sit on the sidelines. ”

"I don't know why you're trying to help me, but your bystanders have been the biggest help to me. Augustus smiled, and it was hard to imagine that he could still smile without burden.

Quentin had a complicated expression.

The noise outside the window that had subsided, and the gradually cooling sunlight made him realize that he needed to give Augustus some private space, he sighed and forced a smile: "But if God bless you, I believe you still have a chance to leave Violet alive tomorrow and leave the imperial capital, of course, if not...... May God bless you. ”

Augustus did not speak.

Quentin turned to leave, stepped out the door, and without looking back, he added, "See you tomorrow, then, goodbye." ”

"Will see you again. Augustus was still smiling.

Then it finally quieted down.

Standing in front of the window for about less than half an hour, until the sun set, Augustus turned around and simply packed up the things he needed to prepare for tomorrow, not much, nothing more than a decent and gorgeous robe, plus a sharp and easy sword, this is very easy to take care of, but when he opened the box and took out the robe, the little pink dress brought by Terina lay there quietly, making him inevitably lose his mind again for a short time, and then, he still took out a pure black robe and put it on the bed for tomorrow, speaking of which, on such a big day as the coming-of-age ceremony, he should actually choose a brightly colored, even red-bottomed robe, but he still decided to blackThe reason is really simple, Augustus felt that if the clothes were black, then neither the blood of the enemy nor his own blood would stain his clothes.

Everything is in order.

Augustus sat quietly on the bed.

Although it was humiliating, for him, as long as he could leave alive, it was indeed his greatest victory.

It embarrassed him a little.

......

In the Holy Empire, the importance of the noble coming-of-age ceremony is basically equivalent to going from one life to another to a certain extent, because many of the privileges of the nobility can only be reflected to the greatest extent after the coming-of-age ceremonyAmong them, the person who presided over the baptism process of the noble heir is the most crucial - not to mention other families, such as Herman, Pompey, Constantine and other imperial behemoths, the clergy who baptized the noble heir must at least wear dark red robes, that is, the status of the Holy See overlord, so that interesting questions arise.

Who will be presiding over the baptism of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine?

Don't forget that all the big names above the Doge are currently concentrated in St. John's Cathedral without results.

Could it be some ordinary priest in the Holy See who is so lucky that even the goddess of fate would be jealous?

Many nobles and lords couldn't help but joke in private, if this is the case, this princess of Constantine will definitely become the talk of the tea for many years or even many years later, especially when I heard that this princess herself is also an official white-robed priest of the Holy See. They speculate, but in fact this can only prove their insignificance, because the real power of the core of the empire will not have any doubts about this, the higher their position, the more they know, of course they will know that this godfather of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine happens to be the almost unshakable sun of tomorrow of the Holy See, and who else can have such a godfather, who else can preside over the baptism of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine?

So what's really interesting is in what capacity the Holy See sun will appear tomorrow.

Or the Exgere?

Or a vicarious bishop?

Will he succeed in opening up the youngest bishop in the history of the Holy See, or will he fail and sink away from the patriarchal scepter altogether?

This is what the real superiors care about the most.

It is also an added thing to look forward to for the coming-of-age ceremony of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine.

Of course, there is another thing that may be an episode that may be survived, which is also exciting.

How many people will die in this huge coming-of-age ceremony?

One?

Two?

......

In Sophia's room on the second floor of Violet Manor, standing quietly in front of the window, Sophia looked out of the manor and she couldn't see the end of the path, but although it seemed quiet, her clenched lips still easily betrayed her chaotic thoughts, she wanted him to come, and there was nothing more satisfying for her than holding his arm and walking to the coming-of-age ceremony, and she also knew that he would definitely come, although she didn't know if he would come back or if he could come, but she just knew that he would come.

Because he promised she would come.

But at the same time, she knew very well that she couldn't let him come, no matter how proud and confident she was, the news that Nicholas had collected in the past few days also made her clearly know that once he appeared in the imperial capital, then he was really likely to have no way to live, and it was really not enough for her, with her heavily armored knights.

Besides, even if it was still Mass, she didn't know if Mass would come, and even if Mass would come, would Mass help him and stand on his side?

Helping him is equivalent to being the enemy of the entire imperial capital.

Will Mass, who is destined to hold that scepter clench, abandon the path of light because of her childish love and embark on a path full of thorns and even no end?

She bit her lip even tighter.

Remembering that she had told Nicholas not long ago to find him and stop him anyway, she prayed and prayed in her heart over and over again.

"Don't come......"

Thinking like this, she wanted to shed tears.

Because in this life, nothing can make her sadder than not being able to hold his arm and walk towards the coming-of-age ceremony. (To be continued.) )
