I will be crowned king

Chapter 109 Alan Dawn

In the next two days, Anson spent his mornings and evenings reading Professor Mace Honnard's "Study on Conjuration", and spent the rest of the day wandering around looking for a school for Lisa.

In the Kingdom of Clovis - or only in the city of Clovis - it is still a "very new" thing for women to go to school.

In the fifty-eighth year of the Apostolic Calendar, the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Clovis passed the "Basic Education Act" to universally provide literacy, morals, faith and observance of social order education in the central province and surrounding key provinces. All towns and communities should have public one school;

In the 88th year of the Apostolic Calendar, the bill was supplemented: private schools were allowed to open with the permission of the local community; at the same time, women were not prohibited from enrolling.

In the twelve years that followed, which happened to be the period when the "former Anson" began to study in the royal capital, private schools of various names began to spring up throughout Clovis City.

Nobles with good intentions, artists who like to teach others, college professors who want to make extra money, graduates who can't get college certificates, rich people who smell business opportunities... all kinds of people flocked here, proving with facts that private education is really the best in the world. The most profitable business.

In order to meet the needs of the growing middle class in the royal capital with the expansion of the city and the development of industry and commerce, there are roughly two types of schools for women.

The first is a salon-style school with a relaxed atmosphere and a good environment, and hires lecturers from church colleges; it mainly teaches literature and poetry; the second is a teaching class run by various artists, which is similar in nature to more professional arts. school.

Anson has found one of these two schools each, not far from Braleman Street; although they have different focuses, the most important core is the same.

Expensive, and letters of recommendation are also required.

When he saw the fee bill, Anson, who was educated in liberal arts in his previous life, found it really hard to understand why the course schedule only included poetry recitation and sketching, which cost 80 gold coins a year, which was more expensive than the rent!

The tuition fee is not difficult to solve, and even if the subsidy issue cannot be settled for a while, Anson still has the thousand gold coins given to him by Ludwig, which is enough to offset Lisa's tuition expenses.

Although the acquaintance of the two could only be regarded as an accidental encounter, and Anson did have the intention of taking advantage of her at the beginning; but no matter what, this girl named Lisa August saved her life twice - and also Anson, who didn't have time to let go of his conscience, believed that he had the obligation to take care of her.

As for the letter of recommendation... this is more troublesome, but Anson is not completely unsolved at the moment; the only question is which one of Professor Mace Honnard or Archbishop Luther should make this request.

According to the professor, Anson is very confident based on the current relationship between the two parties, but at the same time, he has to worry about the trouble caused if the identity of the other party's "black mage" is exposed;

As for Archbishop Luther...based on Anson's knowledge of the "deal" with Ludwig during the Battle of Thunder Castle, if it were his father's letter of recommendation alone, he would probably be able to sign himself into some serious deal. Deed.

After careful consideration, Anson planned to wait until he got the recommendation letter and then find an opportunity to tell Lisa about this "surprise".

It went on like this until the third day, when the sky was getting dark, Anson, who was wearing a military coat, stopped a taxi from Boleyman Street and came to the door of Clovis Cathedral.

At this time, the church's banking business had not yet started, and there were only a few devout believers on the stairs and in the waiting room, doing early morning prayers.

Following the path he took last time, bypassing the colonnaded hall and two long corridors decorated with stained glass and murals, Anson came to the prayer room again.

Opening the door softly, the figure of a blond girl wearing a black and white maid uniform came into Anson's eyes; her back was to the door, her hands were placed in front of her, and she nodded slightly as if she was praying silently.

The moment he opened the door, the girl who heard the sound behind her immediately turned around and smiled sweetly like a doll: "Welcome, Your Excellency Anson Bach, Angelica has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Hmm...have you been waiting for me for a long time?

Anson, whose expression froze, froze in place for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the maid in front of him seemed to be a certain girl.

Looking at the empty prayer room in front of me and the long corridor far behind me... an inexplicable coldness suddenly appeared from behind me and rushed up to the back of my neck.

Isn't this a trap? !

"As agreed, Archbishop Luther is already waiting for you in the study." The little maid bowed politely and turned around gracefully to lead the way: "Please come with me now."

"Uh, that..."

"puff."

The little maid who stopped turned her head, pressed her right index finger gently on her playfully smiling lips, and winked at Anson with her bright eyes: "Please don't worry, the lady is still at home at this time - I came here secretly. .”

"…Thanks."

"You're welcome!"

Along the long corridor that he walked through last time, Anson, following the little maid, came to the door of the study again.

"The Archbishop is inside, and I have already told you not to knock on the door, you can just go in." Pointing to the door behind her, the little maid smiled and said: "If you need anything else, please feel free to ask me, you're welcome. "

"Sorry to trouble you." Anson replied politely, while looking at the little maid with some confusion:

"Uh... By the way, why did you sneak over here?"

Hearing this question, Angelica, who had been smiling just now, instantly pursed her lips and looked around with her big nervous eyes. After double-checking that no one was around, she magically pulled out a newspaper from behind her, " "Crash!" A sound unfolded in front of Anson's eyes.

The Clovis Truth?

Anson's expression was a little confused: "Is this newspaper difficult to buy?"

Angelica shook her head vigorously, looked at Anson nervously, and pointed her right hand at the tofu-sized part at the bottom of the newspaper.

"Scratch-off?"

"This is a new business launched by the Clovis Truth Newspaper last month. The grand prize is five hundred gold coins - you can only buy it here in White Lake Park!" The little maid stomped her feet excitedly:

"With one win, Angelica will never have to save money to buy a new dress again!"

"..."

Looking at the little maid who was jumping away and drawing the ring of order on her chest, Anson, who didn't know what to say, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the study, pushing the door open and entering.

Then he froze.

"Excuse me...did I go to the wrong room?"

"If you are looking for Archbishop Luther Franz's study...there is none."

A slightly childish voice sounded serious from behind the desk.

Anson, who resisted the urge to raise his brows, lowered his gaze and looked at the young man sitting behind the desk who was smiling at him.

Neat short hair, smart black formal suit and white shirt, and a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth - he is completely a smaller version of Luther Franz.

"Then who are you?"

"The person you are looking for." The young man with his hands on the table nodded slightly:

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Anson Bach, I am Alan Dawn."

"A small, humble, unworthy clerk."
