Chapter 171: Blanche is useless
The book house fell silent.
Catalino's throat squirmed.
As the son of the Marquis, although he has no direct inheritance, he is smart and sensible, and has always been loved by the Marquis of Boggs.
Not to mention that he has a full sense of justice, but at least he is a man who understands right and wrong.
"Father, are you serious?"
"Why, Catalino. Do you think that I should take this letter to the king? Or do you want to find other nobles and make the matter public? ”
"I," Catalino struggled, "I don't think Miss Raya is what she says she is, she is ambitious, and even for her benefit, she can deceive everyone!" Even if there is no reason, you have to make up one randomly, just to kill Lord Hamis! She's a terrible person! ”
"No, no, child, you have to know that it's not just Raya so, you should say. All of us are like that. ”
Catalino was incredulous: "Father."
"Believe me, not only the nobles, but also the royal family, and even the Holy See, want Raya to be such a person. Only such people are the most reasonable and the most unreasonable people. Someone is already doing it. Do you really want to see a saint who has been inspired by God to support the king in a grand manner? ”
"Me"
This was contrary to Catalino's original intentions, and he kept the letter hidden from being exposed, for the simple reason that he did not know what to do.
Compared to the two main bodies of the Battle of Tamubao, he, as an outsider, knows the most details.
It was because he knew that he was afraid.
Compared with being afraid of Xu Siling, he was more afraid of Fei'er.
Xu Siling is terrifying in strength, but at least he knows that he is strong.
But Fei'er is terrible in her mind, because you have no idea what she is thinking.
Why would a nobleman become a Holy See saint for no reason? And then to support the royal family in the name of God and to stand in opposition to the aristocracy.
This is something that Catalino did not expect at all.
So after meeting the Marquis of Boggs, Catalino handed over the letter, hoping for an answer.
And the answer his father gave him was very direct and rude.
That is, don't think too much, people like Fei'er, whether in the aristocracy or in the royal family, are extremely common.
Interests are the foundation of human nature.
The reason why Fei'er did this, in the final analysis, was for herself.
People who drive themselves to do things for the sake of profit are the best to control, or the best to understand.
"So, this letter, my father will not publicize it?"
"Of course not, this is a good bargaining chip for us to negotiate with Raya, and with it, Raya is naturally subject to us. And, do you suppose what the king will do when the letter is in his hands? ”
Xu Siling frowned all the time when he heard this, and the changes in his expression were accurately captured by Chrissy.
Catalino thought for a moment, his eyebrows raised, slightly surprised.
"Your Majesty. Will help cover it up! ”
"That's right. The deeper Raya's influence in the nobility and the Holy See, the greater the support the royal family can receive, which is why the king has not met Raya until now. ”
The father and son looked at each other and were silent with each other.
Even the three people on the inside of the bookshelf, except for Xu Siling, had their eyes flickering and uneasy.
They are just noblewomen of the kingdom, and they know what they are exposed to, and they don't know as much as men.
Listening to the conversation between the Boggs father and son, I learned a lot of secrets about Feier and Xu Siling.
Their feelings are a little mixed.
For example, Xu Siling is not full of chivalry and etiquette as it seems.
Xu Siling, who came out of Catalino's mouth, and Xu Siling, who everyone saw, were two people at all.
The former is talking about a tyrannical and bloodthirsty, powerful demon executioner.
The latter looks at the perfect knight who is indifferent and gentle, and is quite polite to everyone.
For a moment, Chrissy looked at Xu Siling's side face, and didn't know which one was him in front of her.
Blanche, on the other hand, is in a mixed mood, but she is prepared.
In the garden of the aristocratic tea party, that beautiful misunderstanding, Xu Siling accepted her wrong insult because of the misunderstanding.
Looking back now, Xu Siling never lied to her, Xu Siling has always been a hypocritical person, never saying that he is a perfect knight and a man full of moral character.
All the labels on Xu Siling's body are actually labeled by others, and they are the wishful thinking of others.
"Remember, Catalino. Do things according to the rules of the aristocracy, less contact with the royal family and the Holy See, and more walk around with other nobles. ”
"I understand."
"I was summoned to Paris by the king, and it is not clear what the king wants to do. But Bonet, the wife of the crown prince, is not a woman who likes to be lively, and she is willing to hold a large aristocratic tea party and invite the noblewomen of Paris, and there must be the shadow of the king behind her. ”
Catalino hesitated: "I think His Majesty the King is trying to build momentum for Miss Raya." ”
"That's part of it." The Marquis of Boggs got up from his chair and turned to look at the family's drawing: "The other part, should be paid attention to. The person who shouldn't have been at that aristocratic tea party. ”
"Raya Knight?"
"It shouldn't be him, I inquired about that knight competition, it was the crown prince's temporary idea, and his appearance at the noble tea party was a complete coincidence."
"Who should that be?"
"Do you think, who appeared the most abruptly in the entire aristocratic tea party?"
Catalino thought for a long time and scratched his head: "If you really want to follow my thoughts, I think the appearance of the crown prince and the Raya knight is really abrupt, they are not like men who should appear on that occasion." ”
"And there's more."
"And." Catalino racked his brains, and suddenly he thought of something, and his eyes suddenly opened: "And Princess Blanche!" ”
"That's right, I'm thinking of her, too."
As soon as these words came out, Chrissy pondered, and even Xu Siling couldn't help but think.
On the contrary, Blanche's almost pale complexion is more morbid, and she seems to think of some bad memories.
"The daughter of the former king of Blanche, a beautiful and intelligent presence in France, but a poor man. It can be said that if she had been born a man and not a woman, she should have sat on the throne of France, but it was his good fortune that it was taken away by Philippe. ”
The Marquis of Boggs was talking exactly and seemed to be instructing his own son.
"Although Blanche is a royal princess, her identity is sandwiched in the royal family, which is extremely embarrassing."
"She has no freedom, and there is no free Blanche, naturally the royal family doesn't take her seriously, and even the nobles don't take her seriously."
"But if Blanche was free. Then her influence on the royal family is extremely great, you know, her identity is special, no matter who marries her, it will give the king a headache. ”
"It's ridiculous, the princess of the kingdom is almost twenty years old, and she hasn't married yet, I really don't know how the nobles and the people will make fun of the royal family when she is old."
"So she's a useless person."
After saying this, Blanche's face became even paler, and he only felt that the gloomy charm of brown was a little thicker, and he even felt a little dizzy in front of him.
Chrissy didn't notice that Xu Siling was among the three of them, and naturally caught Blanche's changes accurately.
But he didn't think he had a good relationship with Blanche, and he didn't bother to care.
As long as Blanche doesn't faint and make a noise that leads to exposure.
Catalino took over: "His Majesty the King will not give freedom to Princess Blanche, so Princess Blanche spends most of her time in the palace. And she suddenly participated in the aristocratic tea party held by Madame Bonnet, which seemed normal, and it was natural for the royal princess to attend the tea party held by the royal family. But Princess Blanche can appear in everyone's eye. That means there must be His Majesty the King's meaning here. ”
"That's right, my kids are getting smarter."
"It's just that His Majesty the King, what does it mean to let Blanche appear at the noble tea party?"
"It's hard for me to know this, and it's the direction I'm thinking about."
The Marquis of Boggs thought of something and turned to look at his son Catalino.
"Remember what I said, and have less contact with people in the royal family, including Blanche."
"I know, father. Otherwise, the aristocratic tea party held by Madame Bonnet would not have only arranged for Chrissy to participate. ”
"Naturally, she is the youngest, and no matter what she does at the tea party, she can't represent us. Chrissy's side, I have already told her that she will be measured and will not have more contact with the royal family. ”
At this time, on the inside of the bookshelf, it was Chrissy's turn to turn pale.
This kind of family secret was learned by Xu Siling and Blanche, and she no longer knew what to do.
The Marquis of Boggs stepped forward and patted Catalino on the shoulder: "And your brother is frail and sick, as a younger brother, you should work hard to share it." ”
Catalino was shocked and then delighted, and quickly bowed his head in response.
"Yes, my father!"
Catalino sorted out his emotions and asked.
"So, father, what do you need me to do now?"
"Do what?"
Marquis Boggs rubbed his chin and mustache, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Take care of your sister Chrissy. I heard that Knight Raya once saved her life during a knight's joust, and because of this, Chrissy had a very good impression of Knight Raya. On my behalf, you can invite the Raya knights to your home. Someone saved your dear sister's life, and you must thank them well and leave them a favor. ”
"We're going to woo the Raya Knights?"
"Naturally, Chrissy owes a favor to us, and we have a better reason to contact him than other nobles. Raya is not a saint, and neither is he a knight. ”
"I see!"
And Xu Siling looked at the two women on the left and right, and their expressions were not very good-looking.
Now he understood why Chrissy was so nervous when she heard her father and brother's voices, and pushed him and Blanche into the inside of the bookshelf to hide.
It's all because of Blanche.
No nobleman wanted their children to come into contact with Blanchedo.
Everyone was also afraid that Blanche would be the eye of the king.
On the surface, everyone respectfully admires Blanche, but in private no one takes her seriously.
That's the reality.
As Marquis Boggs said.
Blanche without freedom is a useless person.
It's like art.
Art is an entertainment, a tool for presentation, not a necessity.
This was the case with Blanche, who became the verbal entertainment of the aristocracy and the mascot that Philip VI presented to outsiders.
In this kingdom, it really doesn't matter at all whether there is a Blanche or not.
Just when the three people on the inside of the bookshelf have their own troubles.
The father and son of the book house were still discussing family matters, and suddenly a servant of the book house broke down the door, and he came to look for Chrissy.
Through the servant's mouth, the Boggs father and son knew that Blanche and Knight Raya were guests at home at this time!
"You said Chrissy came into my library?"
The servant stumbled a little: "I, I'm not sure. The young lady had been in the courtyard with the princess and the knight of Raya, and when they entered the house together, they could not find anyone. ”
Catalino subconsciously replied: "It should be in her bedroom, go and see." ”
"Yes, young master!"
After the servant left, the Marquis of Boggs and Catalino exchanged glances.
"Father, why don't we go for a walk around the house? Maybe you can 'bump into' them. ”
The father and son were of the same opinion to each other and left the book house before and after.
Before leaving, Marquis Boggs stuffed the letter into the drawer of his desk, which was all in Xu Siling's eyes.
Chrissy was relieved to watch her father and brother leave.
She brought Xu Siling and Blanche out, her face full of apologies.
"I'm so sorry! Princess Blanche! My father and brother's words, I hope you don't take it to heart! ”
Blanche looked decadent and waved his hand indifferently.
In fact, she knows this kind of thing very well.
She had lived alone for so long, and she was all too familiar with the feeling of being powerless.
It's just that no one has said it in person to her face.
Thinking for oneself and saying it out of the mouth of others are two different things.
Chrissy could see that Blanche was not looking good, but there was really nothing she could do.
How could she have thought that she just wanted to take two people into the study room to see a painting, how could she just happen to meet her father and brother.
It's okay to bump into her outside, but I bumped into her with Blanche and Xu Siling in the Marquis of Boggs's bookstore, and I really don't know how to explain it.
If you knew this was the case, it was better not to hide it! Damn it.
"I know it's not right but. Princess Blanche and the Soul Knight can you get out of the window of the bookstore? ”
Xu Siling laughed helplessly when he heard this, he didn't care, otherwise he went out from the door and bumped into Bogushou and his son in the house, and he really didn't know what to say.
He's like both, not to mention Blanche.
It is a very rude request to let the royal princess leave through the window, but under special circumstances, Blanche doesn't care.
Or rather, not in the mood to care.
Now she doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
When she came to the window of the study room, Chrissy also shrewdly stretched out her head to investigate, and saw that there was no one around, so she motioned for the two to open the window, and she went to the door of the study room to listen to whether anyone had come back.
Xu Siling flexibly climbed out of the house and came to the courtyard, the study house was on the first floor, and there was no high danger.
It's just that Blanche is wearing a noble dress, and it is a little troublesome to climb through the window.
With the help of Xu Siling, this was successfully turned out, and it looked a little embarrassed.
Chrissy gave them an apologetic look and closed the window.
Xu Siling was just about to leave with Blanche, but after Chrissy disappeared, Blanche's head was a little dizzy, and she almost fell crooked when she raised her foot.
Fortunately, he was keenly aware and held Blanche in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Under Blanche's blonde hair, her beautiful gloomy face was very depressed.
"If you want to laugh at me, you can laugh."
Xu Siling wondered: "What do I have to make fun of you." ”
"Let you see such a bad side of me."
"You're strong, and you're not as bad as Boggs said."
"But he's right."
Blanche's face is like a delicate work of art, with beautiful features and almost pale skin.
Brown eyes looked down at the floor, not knowing what to think.
Her eyes were deep, like deep mountains and forests, and she revealed a gloomy taste all over her body.
Between the eyebrows and the eyes, there is an indescribable discomfort.
"What you shouldn't have, it's not even enough to reach out." (End of chapter)
