After Dongfang Mu and Catalia walked into the house, the hand they were holding naturally loosened.

Although Catalia's attitude has improved significantly after a period of contact, as she gets to know the stranger better, the performance of the two is still somewhat of a play.

Because Dongfang Mu will become his own master in the future, then to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates is to maintain his own dignity, that is, to maintain the dignity of the Van Pu family.

If everyone dares to give the future husband a face, then he will lose his dignity. Even this subordinate is his own subordinate.

As the eldest lady who led the rise of the clan, she understands this very well.

The so-called etiquette and unspoken rules among the aristocracy are probably the same thing. Although there is a lot of bullshit behind the scenes, maintaining decency is the most important thing.

The children of the aristocracy must act mildly, if you maintain my decency, I will pay you back a little decency, if you tear your face, there are hundreds of ways to retaliate against each other, there are thousands of ways to disgust you, then the tearing will be endless.

Therefore, in the house of nobility, you can ignore everything, but you must not ignore the dignity of others.

But this Dongfang Mu from a foreign land doesn't seem to understand this at all......

Dongfang Mu sat on the highest chair in the living room and said to Catalia, "Let them come up and report." ”

Catalia: "......"

Since this prospective son-in-law has been recognized, he will take care of himself and sit in the position of the governor, just like the head of the family, and he will not treat himself as an outsider at all.

In the past few days, he couldn't help but say that he had snatched the command of the knights in the family, and assigned people to do this and that, with the posture of a superior person, quite skillful and natural, as if it should be like this.

Despite all the things she wanted to complain about, Catalia complied with his instructions and went to inform her retainers to come and report to work.

It's not that she doesn't dare to resist, she thinks that something terrible will happen if she offends this fiancé.

Soon, several knights rushed in, waiting for the instructions of the prospective aunt of the Van Pu family.

"Alright, let's start debriefing." Dongfang Mu took out a cowhide book and picked up a quill. In fact, he can remember these tasks in his mind after listening to them once, and taking out the notebook is just out of a sense of ceremony, hoping that the people who do things below can be rigorous and serious.

"It starts with you." He pointed to a knight.

Several knights glanced at each other, and the knight who was pointed at opened his mouth with some trepidation.

When these people were ordered to work for the first time, they were scolded by this prospective aunt, from the way they did their work to the attitude of reporting their work, they were all sprayed with blood.

The key party scolded as if he was quite correct, and there was no way to refute it at all.

Therefore, several people came prepared for this report, for fear that they would be accused of going wrong.

Their so-called "work" was nothing more than using their own connections to spread the news of the king's "Eastern Crusade Order" everywhere and to listen to the rumors of all parties.

Judging from the report, the response was better than expected.

Most of the minor nobles were positive about the rumored new edict, and some had even begun to prepare for the upcoming pioneer procession.

Although the attitude of the big nobles is unclear, the vassals under the big nobles are quite concerned about this news and want to inquire more about the details, which is obviously a little tempted.

And the adventurers, especially the low-level adventurers, all cheered when they heard the news, and no one was dissatisfied, obviously they had been oppressed for a long time.

Most of the middle and lower rank officers and low-level soldiers in the knights and the army had the same attitude towards this news.

Not to mention civilians.

The only ones who have not expressed their stance are the high-level leaders of the various forces.

Needless to say, the upper echelons of the guild are also familiar with Jude, and after saying that, Jude is quite interested in this proposal, at least not disgusted.

Through Jude's news, the Knight Captain Lilith took a neutral attitude, did not express support or opposition, and only said that it depended on the arrangements of the upper echelons.

The Mage Tower's side has never been involved in human strife, and it is also an attitude of staying out of the matter.

In other words, these people are wallgrass.

Now it seems that the only one who has not heard the news is the church.

Just wait for news from Kane.

Dongfang Mu clenched his fists.

If the upper echelons of the church are obedient, then he will be at ease.

Of course, if they are disobedient, he is also ready to force them to obey at any time.

……

Kane's actions were unexpectedly difficult.

He thought that as a rising star of the church, even if he had no say in the church's policy, he could at least be treated as "his own person" by the higher-ups.

Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of the church expressed "interest" in his news, but only interested.

He didn't even meet even one of the cardinals in person, only one of them came on his behalf, pretended to listen to his "gossip," and then there was no follow-up.

What the attitude of the cardinals, what the attitude of the Pope, he did not know at all, and he had no way of knowing.

Nor could he have taken the liberty of stopping a cardinal and asking him what his attitude was. This kind of behavior is almost equivalent to writing the words "I'm here to find out" on the face.

He couldn't joke about that.

After thinking about it, he could only regretfully inform Dongfang Mu that his task was not completed.

After meeting Dongfang Mu, he unexpectedly found that Dongfang Mu was not lost at all.

Instead, Dongfang Mu patted him on the shoulder and told him that the mission had been completed.

"Do you know the tone of the upper echelons of the church?" Kane asked.

"Yes."

"I don't know, but you know?" Kane is still hard to believe.

"That's right."

"Do you know the cardinal?" Kane asked tentatively.

Dongfang Mu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"And how are you ......?"

Dongfang Mu took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, raised it, and said, "Guess what this is?" ”

"I don't know."

"This is a letter from the Pope to the king. ”

As Kane was dumbfounded, he continued: "In order to prevent a big incident, I will summarize the gist of this letter, which says that the Pope regrets the decision of the king without prior consultation, is quite radical and worried about the plan, and at the same time feels that the future of the kingdom is clouded." ”

Kane stretched out his finger and pointed at the piece of paper: "You stole the Pope's letter?" ”

"No, I just copied one from the king."

Kane took a sip of wine with a slight shock: "The king is even willing to show you this kind of thing, how high have you climbed?" ”

Dongfang Mu didn't answer, but said indifferently: "Do you want to know how the king replied?" ”

"You know that, too?" Kane was even more shocked.

"I wrote it for me." Dongfang Mu said.
