After Orville finished speaking, Xia Zuoyi was completely stunned, and didn't even know how to react for a moment.

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, and said in a daze, "What..."

Compared to Xia Zuoyi's bewildered expression, Orville is like a trapped fish finally finding a way out.

He nodded as if agreeing with his own words: "Since men and men can also kiss, then of course you and I can also kiss..."

"No, Orville, that's not the case..." Xia Zuoyi tried to explain.

Orville seemed to have figured it out, stepped forward and said, "Little Zoe, do you hate me?"

"It's not..."

"Then you are already with the Pope?"

Orville frowned: "If that's the case, it's hard for me to accept...Little Zoe, you'd better not be with the Pope. In his eyes, isn't the Holy See the most important thing?"

Xia Zuoyi rubbed the space between her brows with a slight headache: "I'm not with the Pope yet."

"I don't hate you either, but that doesn't mean I can kiss you, Orville... have you been stimulated by something..."

Why nonsense?

Orville: "No, I didn't, I just wanted to understand something."

He wondered: "You don't want to kiss me, why? Because you don't like me, but like the Pope? That's why you were so close to the Pope last night..."

Xia Zuoyi didn't answer, but the tips of her ears gradually turned rosy.

Orville's light gray eyes flashed, then darkened, he said: "Little Zoe, come and like me, I will treat you very well."

"Although there is no way to marry you, I will not marry anyone else either."

"I can promise you that you will be my actual duchess."

Xia Zuoyi: "..."

Not only did he have a headache, but he also wanted to sigh helplessly: "Why must I become the duchess instead of you becoming my lord's wife?"

Orville thought for a while and nodded: "If this is what you want, that's fine, I don't have any objections."

"...No, Orville, I'm just talking casually."

Xia Zuoyi sighed: "I will not be your duchess, no matter what reason you have this idea, just give up."

Orville pondered, and then said: "Although you are rejecting me, I don't want to give up yet."

"Little Zoe, I will be a better candidate than the Pope, why not try to accept me..."

The conversation finally came to an end when Fernandi knocked on the door. Orville left after leaving a sentence hoping that he would consider it. It seemed that he did not flinch at all because of Xia Zuoyi's refusal.

Xia Zuoyi's brain hurts.

Fernandi said: "Lord, Thomas, the elder of the Ed Chamber of Commerce, came to visit the Sherry Guild Hall in person, hoping to meet with you."

"Now, the president is waiting in the hall, what do you mean..."

"Please come up." Xia Zuoyi pinched her eyebrows and said.

"Yes."

Fernandi turned around and went out. After Xia Zuoyi sorted out his confused thoughts just now, Thomas, the elder of the Ed Chamber of Commerce, was brought in.

"Please sit down." Xia Zuoyi said.

"I don't know why the president came here to see me?"

The president is over 40 years old, his hair is neatly combed back, with a lot of gray hair mixed in, and his face has obvious wrinkles.

But it seems that he is still full of energy, at least he has the energy to manage a huge chamber of commerce.

Old Thomas said: "I came here to ask the lord if he has any intention of cooperating with the Ed Chamber of Commerce."

Xia Zuoyi: "Does the president mean that you want the three chambers of commerce to work together?"

Thorn Chamber of Commerce, Ed Chamber of Commerce, and Nagaby Chamber of Commerce.

Old Thomas shook his head: "I just want to cooperate with the lord. I don't care whether the lord cooperates with chambers of commerce other than Ed Chamber of Commerce."

"For the lord, the Ed Chamber of Commerce can make a lot of concessions."

Xia Zuoyi: "So, what does the President want to cooperate with the Thorn Chamber of Commerce?"

Thomas Sr.: "New crops brought back from the New World by Samuel Fern."

"Lord, although you are strictly controlling the circulation of these new crops to the outside world, the news has still spread to the Saint Airo Empire..."

"But just this bit of news can make people see the huge benefits contained in it."

"No... Perhaps it is accurate to say that the emergence of these new crops will bring about a revolution in the field of food."

"This point should have been reflected in the Designia territory."

There seemed to be a hot light in Old Thomas's eyes, and he said, "I never thought that the yield of a crop could reach a hundred catties, or even more than a thousand catties."

"And such crops are not one, but three!"

Xia Zuoyi: "If it's about new crops, the Ed Chamber of Commerce doesn't need to cooperate with the Thorn Chamber of Commerce."

"After all, I have never restricted the sale of the pamphlets of seeds and planting methods of new crops to people outside the territory of Desenia..."

"As for temporarily controlling the speed of circulation, this is my own consideration."

"The lord was joking. The seeds of the new crops that are circulating in the market are the size of fish fry. If no one releases a big fish, how can the Ed Chamber of Commerce eat it?"

"In addition to these three new crops, the Ed Chamber of Commerce also wants to cooperate with the lord to establish a hospital..."

Old Thomas' tone was sincere.

But Xia Zuoyi leaned back on the sofa, and said indifferently: "The president is clear about what happened in the territory of Designia."

"However, the president may be disappointed."

"The Thorn Chamber of Commerce does not consider cooperating with other chambers of commerce for the time being. Please come back, President."

When Old Thomas heard the words, his face was a little ugly: "Don't you ask the lord, what conditions will the Ed Chamber of Commerce offer for cooperation?"

"I said before that the Ed Chamber of Commerce can make a lot of concessions to the lord."

"No matter how much the Ed Chamber of Commerce offers, I have no intention of cooperating for the time being...at least not now."

Xia Zuoyi thought about it: "Maybe I will change my mind later, the premise is that the Ed Chamber of Commerce is willing to wait for a while, and I hope the president can understand..."

"Does the lord have any concerns?"

Xia Zuoyi nodded.

Old Thomas's expression eased, he thought for a while and said: "The Ed Chamber of Commerce's intention to cooperate with the lord will not change."

"As for how long to wait, I hope the lord can give a definite answer as soon as possible."

Later, Thomas Sr. bid farewell and left.

…………

In order to avoid seeing Orville and listening to him say some troublesome words, Xia Zuoyi even had lunch and dinner in the room, but fortunately, Orville did not come again.

And because the Pope was busy in the holy church, he didn't come back that day.

Xia Zuoyi thought that he would take advantage of the opportunity to sleep in the residence of the Holy Church tonight. After Eggboy made a fuss in the room, he pulled the dog ears out, and planned to lock the naughty husky in the room with egg yolks, brown sugar, and ice cream. In the "Little Black Room", the three large plushs watch together to prevent trouble in the middle of the night.

However, when he led the egg boy to the corner of the corridor, he stopped suddenly.

——On the other half of the corridor that was lit with kerosene lamps, there were two figures standing, one was the Pope, and the other was the Grand Duke Orville.

The flames in the kerosene lamp flickered, also setting off the shadows of the figures.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but slightly opened her eyes wide, then bent down and squatted down, covering Eggboy's mouth at the same time.

Egg Boy tilted his head inexplicably.

It was an accident that the two met.

When Saigalot returned to the Sheri Hall, he naturally went to see Xia Zuoyi, and Orville's purpose was the same.

After meeting in the corridor, both of them stopped at the same time.

Saigalot: "The Grand Duke is here so late, what's the matter?"

Orville: "It has nothing to do with Your Majesty, I'm here to find little Zoe."

He paused and said, "His Holiness, can you answer a question for me?"

"The Grand Duke might as well just say it straight." Segarot nodded.

Orville: "The Holy See makes dogmas, has strict regulations on people, and spreads blessings to people on behalf of the Creator God... Anyone who violates dogma and common sense will be punished as a crime. Are there no exceptions for everything?"

Saigalot: "The dogma is strict, but the Creator God is tolerant to the world."

"The Holy See's regulations are also formulated and modified by each successive pope. There may have been no mistakes before, but now... it may not be correct."

"There are exceptions to everything."

"And most of these exceptions are for nobles... I think the Grand Duke should have understood the truth of this long ago."

Orville: "So, the Pope is also an exception. As for the regulations of the Holy See, His Majesty does not have to abide by them."

"Am i right?"

Saigalot's gilt eyes flashed, and he said, "What exactly is the Grand Duke trying to say?"

Orville: "Your Majesty is to a man..."

"Ow—"

The words that had just been spoken were suddenly interrupted by a whimper.

At the same time, Eggboy also suddenly jumped out from the corner of the corridor, bouncing and appearing in front of Orville and Segalot.

"Danzi, why are you so disobedient? Didn't I tell you not to run around? Come back quickly..."

Xia Zuoyi appeared immediately, with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, Orville, why are you standing here?"

Eggboy turned the dog's head, stared at Xia Zuoyi with aggrieved eyes, then looked at his own butt, and turned around twice.

Saigalot: "I met here by chance and chatted with each other."

"Is Eggboy disobedient again?"

Saigalot rubbed the husky's head, and was immediately dodged by Eggboy unhappily. He groaned aggrievedly and faced the wall of the corridor without even wagging his tail.

"What's the matter?" Saigalot laughed.

Xia Zuoyi: "Cough... I made trouble in the room before, and I taught it a bit."

In fact, he was afraid that Orville would "speech something astonishing" in front of His Holiness the Pope again, so he pinched Eggboy's ass in desperation.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Saigalot: "It's nothing, it's just that the Grand Duke came to ask some questions."

Orville's expression was calm, and he didn't insist on the question just now, but stepped forward and walked up to Xia Zuoyi and said, "Little Zoe, I came here to see you and say good night, now, I should go back. "

After he finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed Xia Zuoyi lightly on the forehead before he had time to react, and then said in a gentle voice, "Good night, I wish you a good dream tonight."

Saigalot's expression suddenly changed.

After Orville left, Xia Zuoyi recovered from the shock, pursed her lips and carefully glanced at the Pope: "I, I didn't expect..."
