-39- She is the dowager of our Lord
South of the inner city, Boulder Manor.
As one of the nine dukes of the Crescent Kingdom, the Boulder family naturally also has a stronghold in the royal capital of Rutesia, and this manor named after the family is even much larger than Charlotte's lease.
With the lord moving in, the perennially clean manor was also busy, with maids and waiters coming and going, taking care of various matters.
On the third floor of the manor house, on a verandah near the side of the block.
Eleanor, the Duchess of Boulder, wore a plain dress and silently looked at the noisy streets in the distance.
Behind her, an Asian girl dressed as a maid was standing with her hands down, respectfully serving.
On the streets, horse-drawn carriages are endless, bustling and bustling, and it is no longer possible to see the appearance of martial law during the "Great Purge" a few days ago.
From time to time, you can see luxurious aristocratic carriages passing by in a high-profile manner, and the surrounding pedestrians give way to salute.
This is the inner city, and the last thing that is lacking is the aristocracy.
This is what Charlotte saw when she cast her eyes on the faith network.
Eleanor's complexion looked pretty good, except that her face was still a little pale, and her spirit was significantly better, which was completely different from before.
But Charlotte's gaze quickly fell on the subhuman maid behind her.
It's an acquaintance.
Charlotte remembered the other party's name - Misha.
She used to be Sebas's maid, and she is said to have been trained to be a good cook, and she bit off her tongue to keep Sebas's secret during the siege of the Rose Order at the Inquisition, and was later rescued by Charlotte.
Charlotte remembers that Sebaster tried to treat her injuries and asked for help, and she ended up using the dark healing techniques she had mastered to help her regrow her tongue.
Later, when the sub-tribe of Sebas returned, Misha also became a follower of the True Ancestor and went to live in the Castel mines with the Blood Wolf Tribe.
Now it seems that when Eleanor was recuperating, she was arranged to be her maid?
Charlotte "looked" at the two thoughtfully, not alarming them.
Soon, Eleanor spoke.
Her eyes fell on the street scene of the royal capital, and her expression was a little embarrassed:
"This is my favorite place when I was a child, and every time I come to the royal capital, I like to look at the streets of Lutesia from afar."
"At that time, my father was here, and my brother was there, and it was here that my father told me and my brother about the history of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, about the past of our Balder family, about the glory of the nobles, and about the glory of the gods......"
"It was also from that time that I vowed to become a responsible nobleman, remember honor, treat the people well, be loyal to the feudal king, and devout the ......"
"But now...... The view, the same view, stood here and watched, but I was the only one left. ”
"Lord Eleanor, please pay your respects."
The subhuman maid Misha said softly.
Eleanor sighed and nodded:
"I'm fine, I just remembered something from the past."
As she spoke, her eyes looked at the bustling street scene again, with a hint of self-deprecation on her face:
"Honor, Responsibility, Responsibility......"
"My father taught me that, but in the end, even my father himself failed to do it."
"My father always said that the nobles who wield extraordinary power are the darlings of the gods, the favored ones of heaven, and the symbols of civilization, nobility and power."
"But now, in addition to the fact that it is true to have power, civilization and nobility are completely incompatible, and under the glamorous appearance, there is all ugliness and hypocrisy."
"Maybe there was glory in the past, but now, I'm afraid it has long been forgotten."
"The same is true of the gods......
"The heart is bright, it leads people to goodness, and it preaches justice."
"It's a good thing to say, I used to take this as my lifelong belief, but now I look at it, it's only superficial."
"Clerics who violate the creed will still gain divine power, and fallen clergy can even be promoted to the top, and the former royal court has long since decayed......
"The aristocracy was drunk and dreamed of death, oppressed the commoners, and took pleasure in killing and mistreatment; The priests competed for fame and fortune, wantonly suppressed the foreign race Thaksin, and even did not hesitate to name the evil, even if these evils were essentially innocent women and children......"
"However, those who are really evil, they don't care!"
At the end, Eleanor clenched her fists with a hint of anger on her face.
Behind her, the subhuman maid Misha sighed softly:
"It is always easier to fall than to go forward, and the teachings of the Holy Court are indeed righteous and noble, but without the doctrine of divine restraint, it is inevitable to get lost in power and depravity."
"The nobility is the same, the power of the nobility needs to be restrained by rules, and this restraint should be exercised by the belief of the church and the gods with a transcendent status, but the church and faith cannot even be controlled by the fallen priests, so naturally they cannot restrain the nobles."
"In the final analysis, it is the belief that has gone wrong, it is the gods who have made mistakes, and it is the gods who do not pay attention to the mortals who are like ants in their eyes, and in their eyes, mortals are probably just tools."
Eleanor's heart moved:
"Did she tell you these words as well?"
The subhuman maid paused, and said:
"It was told to me by my former master, Mr. Sebas, and Mr. Sebastian was taught by Lord Charlotte."
"Lord Charlotte is the chosen being, she has precious qualities that other nobles do not have, she is able to look at every class and every race equally and appreciably, she is a force that can change the world."
Listening to the maid's words, Eleanor hesitated for a moment and said:
"She saved me, I am grateful to her, she is also a little different from what I remember, not only the image, but also the personality is not the timid and introverted girl she used to be."
"After she arrived in the territory, she did a lot of things, especially for the commoners, and even suppressed those degenerate nobles."
"She's a truly qualified lord."
"It's just that I don't understand, why do you call her a force to change the world?"
"Isn't she a saint of the Holy Court? She is a believer in the Lord and has even been blessed by the Light, but don't you say that our hope should be in our Lord? ”
Misha, the subhuman maid, paused and said:
"I have had the privilege of seeing the power of Lord Charlotte, or rather, the power of our lord."
"Lord Charlotte is not a saint of the Holy Court, but a substitute for my Lord, a true man of God."
"My lord is undoubtedly a greater god than the god lord, just like a low-level nobleman needs to salute when he sees a high-ranking nobleman, the blessing of the divine light to Lord Charlotte is essentially the awe of the divine power to our main force."
"I still remember the day of the trial, when Charlotte, in front of many of the Judgment Knights, declared us innocent, and ...... The Light then declares us innocent. ”
"Lord Charlotte herself represents the will of my Lord, and only my Lord can change the status quo, change everything, and put this gradually disordered world back on track."
Charlotte: ......
Who is she?
Where is she?
What is she doing?
These two people...... What the hell are you talking about?
