glorious fall

If Eastern European Lis is as peaceful as an old man, then Western European Lis after the crescent coup is just a young man who has made great strides—from the founding Pope Peberon I to the current Tanglas Yenton Simon III, there are only four years in between. His Majesty the Pope has given a completely new look to the people of the past century, making the country strong and the people rich, and the whole country is full of satisfaction.In the name of God, the pope exercises the power of divine envoy and the responsibility of enlightenment.Listen to the general order and build a strong country.

The Pope lives in the Palace of Tifan Catrine, which is under the seven provinces: Leman, Steinta, Berger, Frilanda, Piedrius, Monta, and Bourson.Among them, the main city is the closest to the provinces of Leman and Florida. The chief executive of each province is the cardinal archbishop, who is in charge of religious sacrifices and the right to mobilize the army.The chief executive of a province is the duke, and the head of the big family takes turns.There are three deputy chief executives to assist the duke in his work, one for judiciary, one for administrative power, and one for business affairs. Due to the suppression of previous popes, the big family is declining day by day, so they are appointed by the pope.

In the 94th year of the new calendar, on a breezy autumn day, a black velvet carriage slowly passed by the Central Avenue of Lemans. There were bells and yellow tassels hanging from the four corners of the car. The old woman squinted her eyes for a while, then Fang turned to the other old woman and said, "It's the big shot."

Another old woman held a freshly ripe persimmon in her hand and replied: "No, look at that style!"

The carriage drove through Central Avenue, and turned diagonally opposite Cindy's Tavern into Elisto Avenue, which was later known as the "March Promenade". It is a combination of the administrative area and the monastery. The first half is the administrative area - most of the public officials live here, and the second half is the famous St. Anno's Monastery in the country. There are all Puritans in it, and there is a big bell that awakens the city's dreams. , it is said that it was supervised by the archbishop in red at that time, and a bell tower was built to worship it.

The bells of the carriage were as crisp as the hyacinths blooming in spring. They rang all the way through the monastery, startling a group of chirping sparrows on the high fence, and then drove to the avenue behind a clump of mountain cherry blossoms. The church stands majestically, and the avenue is lined with laurel trees whose leaves have withered, and under the trees are evergreen bushes, mixed with roses with withered flowers and leaves.

On the contrary, at the entrance of the church, there were still unknown blue flowers blooming brightly and enthusiastically. As the carriage approached, the door in front of the church with exquisite carvings and reliefs was slowly opened.The carriage drove in and stopped in the courtyard.

Twelve young men in white knight attire stood in two rows in unison, looking at the carriage solemnly.

A moment later, a fair-skinned hand stretched out the carriage window with a letter in it.

The captain of the Cavaliers came out from the head of the team, took the letter with both hands, and read it. The appendix of the original letter is as follows:

"In the name of God, Sandra Demon, Cardinal of Vanto, succeeds me as Cardinal of Leman.

Pope Simon III

September 94, [-] in the new calendar"

After the knight captain finished reading, he knelt down on one knee, and the other eleven knelt down in the same way, saying: "Congratulations, Your Excellency the archbishop in red!"

A slightly gloomy voice came from the carriage: "There is no need to be polite, please get up."

The knights got up, and the captain of the knights, Pfister Lotier, stepped forward, opened the curtain for Archbishop Sandra, and helped the archbishop get out of the car with one hand.After Bishop Sandra got out of the car, the knights were taken aback for a moment. They obviously didn't expect the bishop to be so young, about eighteen or nine years old, with beautiful waist-length silver hair, a slightly childish delicate nose bridge, and slanted brown eyes. There are also rose-colored thin lips, and the short stature gives people a sense of frailty. He is dressed in a red robe, with an arm-length golden scepter pinned to his waist, and his expression is solemn. Noble and respectful.

"Thank you all for welcoming me," he said slowly in that gloomy voice, "From now on, Sandra's safety will be entrusted to all of you."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly, and the corners of his lips raised into a slight smile.

Cavalier Captain Pfister retreated to the side, and said with a slight head: "Please allow me to introduce you, this is Mr. Housekeeper who will take care of your daily life." , please come here."

Mr. Butler is over half a hundred years old, and his temples are already showing signs of age.He took a few steps forward, put his left hand on his right chest, bowed slightly, and said, "Master Bishop, I am Hillary Reid Ferson, the steward of the Archbishop's Palace, and I am honored to serve you."

Sandra tilted her head to look at him, and said, "Hello, Mr. Ferson, I will trouble you to take care of me from now on."

Hillary Reed was slightly surprised: "Please don't say that, it is my honor to serve you, and I am deeply satisfied to be at the side of the bishop who is closest to God."

Sandra's expression softened: "Then, Mr. Ferson, can you introduce me to my residence?"

"Of course, please come with me, my lord," Hillary Reid stretched out his hand, "Your mansion is behind the San Felo Cathedral. It was built by the seventh archbishop and renovated by the No. 11 archbishop." Around Follow the withered flowers next to the church, and walk through the paulownia tree corridor of dozens of steps.In front of you is a three-story white building, hidden behind a tree. The porch is covered with lush ivy. On the square pillars of the porch, the words "Building in the 43rd year of the new calendar of the Archbishop's Palace of Leman Province" are engraved. , the road leading to the door of the house is wide, and red pines are planted on both sides. In addition, there are only a few small flowers in the flower bed that are tenaciously blooming.It was only when they reached the door that they could see the exquisite reliefs on the wall. Sandra was fascinated by a relief painting of the birth of Jesus. Upon seeing this, Hillary asked, "My lord?"

Sandra came back to her senses, and said, "Go in."

The interior decoration of the house has become exquisite after being decorated by many archbishops. The first floor is where the servants and the kitchen and dining room are located. In the middle is the living room covered with handmade carpets from Florida province. leads to the second floor.

"This is where you sleep." Hillary opened the door, Sandra glanced lightly, nodded and said: "Please, I want to rest for a while now."

"Okay," Hillary retreated sideways, "I'll call you again when it's lunch time," he said, closing the door gently.

Sandra looked at the brand new quilt, lost her mind for a moment, and took off the scepter around her waist.Then he sat on the edge of the bed, fell down slowly, covered his eyes with his right hand, and exhaled.

Between half-dream and half-awake, a faint voice sounded: "Master De Meng, Your Majesty is looking forward to the meeting at the Truffle Festival."

He frowned, unconsciously clenched his palms, and fell into a deeper sleep.
