Tyrant Code

Goldo brought Heinz back to the imperial capital.

His newly rented house has everything that should be there. By the way, he also hired an elderly housekeeper and a head maid in her 40s who had lived in that mansion for many years. A concierge, a cook, a few servants... This is already the entire lineup in this house.

The old butler manages the house well and is humorous by nature, so I won't mention it for now.The head maid also arranged the whole family in an orderly manner, because of the age difference between Gordo and her, she not only regarded Gordo as the master, but also treated Gordo as a delicate young man: She used to work as a maid in a noble family, and knew that noble young masters were difficult to raise, and even if they lived to be 20 years old, they might die inexplicably, so she attached great importance to Gordo's health and safety.As soon as he heard that Gordo had returned home, he was the first to abandon his work and greet him at the door, planning to persuade him to take a few days of vacation at home to calm the burden on his body from traveling around——

Then she saw Gordon holding the hand of a little boy and getting off the carriage.

"...Holy Lord." The head maid looked at the child's black hair and black eyes in surprise, counted the similarities between him and Gordo, and said hesitantly, "Could this be your son? "

"...Where did you go?" Goldo almost slipped, he handed Heinz to the head maid, and said, "This child's name is Heinz Tenelan, and he wants to stay at our house for a few days sky."

"It's fine if you don't." The head maid stroked her chest, "Although it would be a good thing to have another young master in the house...but it's too scary to bring a son home at your age. Fame is no good either. Well, as long as the child isn't your bastard..."

"This child is 11 years old, how can I give birth to such a big child?" Goldo said.

The head maid was surprised again: "11 years old?! This child looks like seven or eight years old at most... How did he grow up like this?"

"You don't need to worry about these things." Goldo pushed Heinz into the arms of the head maid, "It's just that Heinz will trouble you to take care of it from now on."

Theoretically speaking, the head maid has experience in raising children, so it is safest for her to take care of her.Although she was middle-aged and slightly overweight, she looked bright and soft-spoken, and she was the perfect person to take care of the children.

...provided Heinz would listen to her.

Within a few hours, the head maid came to Gordo to complain.

"Master Moran." In fact, it should be called Master, but the head maid felt that it was a bit inappropriate to call out the word "Master" when facing Gordon's face, "It's not that I want to complain, but the child you brought back is really Too stubborn!"

Goldo was pleased that the headmaid only described Heinz as "stubborn" rather than "eccentric": "What happened?"

The head maid took a deep breath: "You can come and see with me—"

So Goldo followed to Heinz's room, and found the door of the room open, and the carpet was covered with traces of small piles of foam.He looked along the meandering water stains, and found that Heinz was wearing a loose white shirt, his body was wet and dry, and he was hiding in the room with foam on his head. He rushed towards him the moment he saw Gordo appear. come over.

Gordon: "Wait—"

Heinz slammed into his arms with a snap.

Gordo, who was rubbed all over with water: "...Forget it."

Heinz poked his head out and saw the head maid. He wanted to turn around and run away as soon as he blinked. Gordo stretched out his hand and pulled him by the neckline at the nape of his neck effortlessly, then hooped him to his side and asked the head maid :"What's going on here?"

"As you can see, I just want to give him a bath." The head maid said wearily, "but Master Heinz has always been unwilling. Even if he tricks him into the bathroom, he will find a chance to slip out. We And I really can’t press him to wash, for fear of hurting him..."

Didn't Heinz take a shower when he was just released?

Goldo asked him: "There's nothing scary about taking a bath... What are you afraid of?"

Heinz replied in a hoarse voice, "The water...is so deep."

Hearing how he was trying to speak but his voice was hoarse and fuzzy, Goldo decided to find a serious doctor to look at his voice as soon as possible.But since Heinz said the water was too deep, Goldo understood what was going on.

It's because of the bathroom.

What Gordo likes most about the whole house is the decoration of the large bathroom, which is large enough and built into a pattern similar to a hot spring.However, the water in the large bathroom is relatively deep, and adults can almost reach their waists when entering, which may indeed be too deep for a child.

However, that bathroom is for the owner's exclusive use.The headmaid would lead Heinz there, but it meant that the headmaid affirmed Heinz's status in the house.

"It's okay." Gordon waved his hand to reassure the head maid, "I'll take care of him."

Then he carried Heinz to the big bathroom, where he grabbed someone and learned to swim for more than an hour.

Heinz struggled like a drowning cat at first, but quickly adapted to the water environment, and even faintly enjoyed it.

Because the previous clothes were stained by Heinz, Gordo simply took a bath together.He is also responsible for drying Heinz's hair after taking a bath... Fortunately, this kid can at least change his own clothes. He has a natural liking for dry and fluffy clothes, so Gordo doesn't have to work hard to coax wear it with him.

Over the past few days, Goldo has basically figured out Heinz's character.Perhaps because of the lack of education, he is often ignorant and doesn't like to talk, but as long as the adults around him are willing to teach him (Gordoken to be more precise), then his learning ability will be completely improved. no problem.He ignores those who look down on him and is extremely stubborn, but he doesn't lose his temper casually.

In short...he is a child with problems, but not serious problems.

Goldo didn't feel too tired taking him.However, because Heinz couldn't live without people, Goldo really took three days of vacation to accompany him after returning to the imperial capital, so that he could adapt to the new environment. Heinz could barely accept the head maid and After being fed by the old housekeeper, Gordo packed up his things and went back to work in the court at ease - because Ryan's case was about to start.

On the morning when he returned to the court, Kalanzi was still concerned about him: "You took three days off after you came back, are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Gordon sighed, "actually he is busy raising children."

Karanzi: "...?"

Seeing Calanzi showing an awkward but polite smile, Goldo explained to him that he brought Heinz back.

"There is no better place to be in charge of that child." Goldo said, "It's better to stay with me first."

"Does that child have special talents?" Karanzi asked after pondering for a moment.

"It's just a child with a special personality." Goldo replied, "Perhaps he can be called talented...Although he doesn't like to talk, he can understand many books that adults read."

"It turned out to be a precocious child." Karanzi nodded.

There are all kinds of geniuses in this world, and not only those with bright talents have a bright future.

"By the way, what about the Cardinal's Council?" Goldo asked.

“Josh Pubber pleaded guilty to taking extra money, but not to bribery. He said the money was just a private gift from Edelina Tenelan as a thank you to him.” Karan Zi shook his head, "And he thinks that there is no problem with his application for exorcism."

Gordon raised his eyebrows: "How?"

Kalanzi sighed: "Josh admitted that he was inaccurate in his judgment, which led to the wrong target of exorcism. But the principle of exorcism is that he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go - so he thinks he just made a 'mistake' and should use Plead guilty for wrongful exercise of power, not be accused of being bribed."

According to the "Canon Law", the crime of bribery can be punished by beheading, but as far as the crime of negligence is concerned, Josh did not cause too serious consequences, at most he was removed from office.

Josh was anxious to save his life, but the Cardinal Council was not very happy.If the case is judged with this kind of thinking, the priests will lose their authority in exorcism in the future, and the Cardinal will also be blamed for issuing exorcism permits.But if he was sentenced for bribery, it would be bad, and it would be a blow to the reputation of the Holy See.

If the two evils were lesser - the Cardinal Council would probably admit that the exorcism was wrong, but deny the bribery charge.

So the focus is on the ruling on bribery charges.

"Miss Edelina is not willing to state the details, which is a big trouble." Karanzi said, "We have sent someone to report to Mr. Tenelan, but we heard that Tenelan started business shortly after you left. In the name of going far away..."

"He promised before that he was willing to testify in court." Gordon shook his head and laughed.

"He might have been willing." Karanzi pointed out, "Someone visited him. But since Tenelan was not within the scope of the charges, even we couldn't force him to stay... It was me. It’s not thoughtful enough.”

If it is compared to power, then of course the cardinal's deterrence is greater.Mr. Tenenin just avoided it and did not stand on the side of the Cardinal Council.

"So the focus is still on Adelina..." Goldo thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "I think it's better to check the person who granted him the exorcism license. Maybe Heinz's exorcism license It's not the first time he's issued an informal license."

"The Cardinals keep this information confidential. At this point, they should have been covering up their previous 'deeds'." Karanzi thought for a while, "But these documents usually have copies..."

"Where are those copies?" Goldo asked.

"The Inquisition. A secret and shady place." Calanzi said softly, "Because the appearance of demons is often associated with the activities of dark wizards, after handling the exorcism incident, there will be a backup for the Inquisition. I advise you It's better not to go to that place... Regarding the case, we can wait and see."

Inquisition.

It exists in the list of the Holy See institutions, but it has never appeared in front of outsiders.

Goldo read the name silently, then nodded slightly.
