Your Mightiness

Julie had already disappeared without a trace by looking for Claire's name, and she couldn't find her anymore.

The search for the president turned into a search for Julie temporarily.After leading everyone away perfectly, August hid his achievements and fame happily, and took Liszt and Raphael to the side to start a life of drinking tea and watching theaters.

As Raphael's blind date, Liszt always felt that their combination was a bit awkward.A small milky-white small round table, three hollow chairs, after sitting around, it can be said that Auguste and Raphael are next to each other, or it can be said that Liszt acted as a particularly ungrateful person. third party.

Liszt expressed several times that he wanted to participate in the treasure hunt where everyone seemed happy, but Raphael or August distracted him from the topic.

In the end, Liszt could only sit there stiffly, he really didn't understand what evil he had done to encounter such a thing of being forced to watch other people fall in love at close range.

August laughed suddenly. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or on purpose. He said, "Tell me the story about your trip to the East again. I'm very curious about the Ming Dynasty. Their capital is really like a leaf. Is it wrapped in gold thread and satin? Made of precious stones to look like flowers and leaves? Are you not afraid of people stealing it? Or is it that the people there are rich and don’t need to steal? But in that case, wouldn’t there be no beggars? Do nobles do charity?"

Since Jesus lived a life of a begging tramp in the Bible, the nobles of European religious countries have always had an extreme attitude towards the industry of "beggars". help him.

Even in the 13th century, with the Pope’s approval, the church established the Beggar Brotherhood. As the name suggests, some monks of the church felt that the main source of income for the monks should be the alms of the believers, not their own land property.

As soon as this small religious group with a strange theme was born, many people responded to it, and even relied on the theme of begging, and derived many branches of different sects of the religious order.For example, the famous Franciscans and Dominicans are both small brotherhoods of begging, but the rules of the association will be slightly different, and each has its own representatives.

The original intention of the beggar sect was good, but it was a pity that it was not long before the bad monk recited the scriptures.In August's era, the two most important brotherhoods of the Beggar Sect have become well-known small money-making groups in the church.

Accumulating money is actually not the most terrifying thing about them. What they really can't stand for August is to exclude dissidents and oppose all heretics.

August doesn't know if these beggars have changed in modern times, but at least at this moment, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

Therefore, even though August has been doing charity, he keeps a low profile, for fear that others will confuse him with some begging brotherhood, and he really doesn't want to be approached by the priests of those orders.

Now suddenly mentioning the charity of the East to Liszt is only because...

August is preparing to expose Liszt's disguise.

As a Chinese-British mixed-race who grew up in China, August could easily expose Liszt's so-called lie about living in the East.Liszt is considered a master of deception, quick thinking, adapting to the wind, the most important thing is that he is especially good at chatting, if he is deceiving ordinary European nobles, it is enough.But August is not an ordinary European nobleman.

On the afternoon when he first met Liszt, August already knew that Liszt was lying.The so-called Orient in Liszt's mouth is still just the stereotype of the Orient created by Europeans based on "Marco Polo's Travels".

If it weren't for Liszt's really humorous words, August felt that he was about to suffer from embarrassment.

After getting through with Raphael and confirming that Liszt is really just a liar, and not deliberately flattering to match what he thinks August's impression of the East is, August began to deliberately bring Liszt in and out in a high-profile manner. Various public occasions, because they need to convince the person who sent Liszt that August has been deeply fascinated by Liszt.

Yes, there is a black hand behind Liszt.

Before Raphael handed over Liszt's information from Julie to the Black Prince, he noticed something wrong with this Liszt who suddenly popped up recently, and he quickly figured out who the elaborately concocted Liszt was targeting. .He felt that instead of waiting for the other party to be able to catch up with the Black Prince or August, it would be better for him to make a favor directly so as to better control the other party.

Liszt's liar's ability is really good. If the time is not too hasty and the preparation time given to him is too short, he will definitely be able to describe Dongfang more realistically.

August is very optimistic about Liszt, and this optimism has reached the point that "even if he knew that Liszt was lying to him, he was not too angry, and he still liked to chat with Liszt".If I have to describe it, it’s probably that August gets along with Liszt every day with the heart of watching a “reality show”. Whenever he starts to listen, what he thinks in his heart is—please start your performance .This is much more interesting than a simple novel.

You don't need to guess who is behind the scenes, you just need to wait, and the other party will jump out soon.

The game of the banquet was only halfway through, and everyone found a lot of useful or useless clues in disarray. When they were working together to use the method of elimination to find the really useful clues, a team with the cross emblem The knights rushed in, followed by priests wearing various robes, most of them were monks in black, and there were a small number of monks in gray clothes. The white monks of the rules.

This is not a small battle. It is impossible for ordinary nobles to be targeted in this way, and it doesn't have that much face.

August sat there without moving, and even had a strange sense of accomplishment in his heart—he could make the church employ so many people!

Anne was standing by the door with Mrs. Jane, trying to pry open a hidden compartment on the left door.Because Annie got too close, the moment the door was violently kicked open, she backed up again and again until she tripped on the ground. The sound of falling to the ground was so loud that people knew it was painful. The arm used as a buffer immediately bled.

"God!" The man next to him shouted even more exaggeratedly than the woman.

Anne's brother Chris was the first to rush forward. He is now a regional bishop. There is a big difference between a bishop in a certain district of London and a bishop in other counties.Chris was able to climb this step, in addition to Father Joe secretly looking for acquaintances in Rome to take care of him, it is more due to Chris's own ability.This bishop, who has the same fiery red hair as his sister, is the male god in many people's hearts.

When Chris saw the outfits of the knights who led the way in, he knew that these were knights of the church, no, even worse, these were knights of the Inquisition!

The prestige of the Inquisition was known to everyone in the Middle Ages, especially in the past few years after the Pope signed the document agreeing to witch hunting, the Inquisition became more unscrupulous and became almost everyone's heart nightmare.Even in England, where Protestantism is vigorously supported, the Inquisition is still a force that cannot be ignored.

Not only the civilians, but even the nobles are in danger, for fear that one day the Inquisition will come to their door, pointing at the family members and saying that they are witches, or that so-and-so is a heretic.

August and the Inquisition had no friendship at all. If there was, it could only be an affair. August’s private Jewish doctor was saved from the stake by him, and the Inquisition was responsible for the execution.

Of course, it was the Inquisition in Bristol, not London, that August disgraced at the time.However, since most of the monks of the Inquisition are Dominican monks, that is, black monks, monks from different regions will definitely communicate with each other, and August's reputation must not be particularly good among them.

The leader is a monk in black, who is in the same situation as Bishop Chris.

"Linus!" Chris helped his sister's eyes almost burst into flames, half of his sister's forearm was covered in blood, Chris didn't see which knight kicked open the door, but he would count all of these in On the head referee Linus.

"Long time no see, Bishop Chris." Linus smiled not like a bishop at all, but more like a big villain. He looked at Anne and her arm indifferently, and said perfunctorily without any sincerity, " Oh, little Annie is here too, sorry, I didn't expect you to be by the door, next time you can go wherever there is no danger, OK?"

Annie didn't say anything, she didn't know much about her brother's affairs in the church, because her brother has been avoiding contact, but Linus' name is still familiar, and he often dismantles her brother's platform, of course, her brother loves to dismantle him too Nas' desk.

"What are you doing here?" Chris tried hard to suppress his anger, not wanting to be led by the nose by Linus.

"Oh, please, don't ask me knowingly, okay, my saint Chris, what can I do here? Of course, I have received a report that someone is doing something that God does not allow here. Are you the master here?" Reiner Stan's eyes were full of disdain, "I don't think you, a poor man, have enough money to buy a castle, so don't get involved, huh?"

"you!"

"This castle was given to me by my father," August finally said. "I invite a few friends here to have a dance party, isn't it an act that God does not allow?"

"Your Excellency the Duke." Linas stepped forward a few steps, looking clearly at the tightly held hands of August and Liszt.

August was afraid that Liszt would run away, and a good show was about to be staged. How could the most important actor go away?

"Of course everyone can hold a dance party, but it's not just as simple as having a dance party here?"

"Oh, we also played a little game, guess who is the host this time. You ruined the surprise." August looked at Linus mockingly, "Of course, I wouldn't count on you I apologize, after all, you have been so rude without asking."

"!!!" The hearts of the other people present have been on a roller coaster for several laps.

Especially Marquis Philip is the heaviest. What does August mean?He is the president of the secret society?How can this be?As a veteran member, Philip remembered that when he first joined the membership, August should have been just a child.No, it's absolutely impossible, he can't play with a child?However, thinking about Julie and Father Joe, it doesn't seem so impossible.

"Of course I will apologize for my impoliteness, but in a hurry, you might as well please explain to me why you behaved so inappropriately with a person of the same sex."

Homosexuality is a sin and is not allowed by God. This is the common understanding in the Middle Ages.

August didn't intend to let go of Liszt's hand at all, instead he smiled: "Who stipulated that it is inappropriate for two people to hold hands?"

"Of course we have other evidence, I hope you don't force me."

"I'd like to see your other evidence." August laughed even harder. In this era, there is no recorder, and there is no camera. He will never leave naked texts. What the other party has can only be Witnesses only.He really wanted to see who would dare to stand up as this "witness".

"I guessed that you would say that." Naturally, Linus couldn't have offended a duke who held the power of the empire without the slightest preparation.

Brother Seymour, who was hiding among the monks, finally stood up: "Sorry, Mr. Speaker, I have to stand up for the truth. I hope you can understand that this is not intentional targeting. I also hope that there is some misunderstanding. But Liszt is My distant cousin recently told me about a trouble..."

August interrupted Brother Seymour without waiting for the performance to finish: "Cousin? Isn't it a cousin?"

"!!!"
