[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

Ace's expression turned into a half-smile again.He raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Anna a meaningful look.

Other nobles may not know the origin of Ace, but Anna must be very clear.She broke into the scene where the hermit introduced Ace, precisely because she heard about the appearance of the "Holy Son" and the "miracle".Judging from what I have seen and heard in the past few days, it seems that there are no stories about the miracle on the gallows in the palace, and it is interesting to know where Anna's news channel came from.

Regardless of the reason why Anna regards Ace as an opponent, she will never let go of the opportunity to investigate Ace in these few days.Whether it is the origin of Ace or the process of going to the gallows, it must have been placed on the princess's desk by now.It's just that, like the cardinal, she still regards Ace as a liar who uses witchcraft, and her conclusion about Ace himself is undoubtedly a lot biased.

——Otherwise, she would never have come over so easily to provoke a cliché.

Anna was almost a little guilty by this glance, and hurriedly looked away: "...you seem to know Claude Frollo too?"

"Yeah?" Ace asked back, his eyes darkened, and he smiled, "Not only did I know him, but I also have a deep gratitude to him. If it wasn't for him, how would I meet God?"

Anna couldn't help but glanced at him again: "I don't seem to know your name yet..."

"Compared to this, I think you should be more concerned about why the crown prince suddenly appeared." Ace said lazily, holding Jeanna's hand, "—here trying to find out my origin, trying to use me to achieve a certain goal. For such purposes, it does you no good."

His words suddenly became sharp, but there was still a gentle smile on his face: "What's more, you already know my true identity—then, when faced with the truth, why do you deceive yourself that it is an illusion?"

Holding Rangna's waist | limbs, Ace walked off the dance floor.

After all, Jeanna is a royal princess. Although she is not loved by her father, she still has the education she deserves.Not long after getting off the dance floor, I gradually found the feeling of dancing, and my steps in high heels became lighter.After gradually letting go of her tension, she also dared to whisper a few words to Ace: "...don't you like Anna?"

Ace's spiritual power is spreading to the area where the king and others are again. Anna seems not surprised by the arrival of her brother, but he is very interested in it.After hearing what Jeanna said, he couldn't help laughing, and said ambiguously, "How could it be?"

"I know you don't like her." Jeanna raised her head, her black eyes were shining like pearls, she looked at Ace curiously, "but why don't you like her?"

-

On the dance floor, couples of aristocratic ladies danced, and even the elderly Mrs. de Gongde Laurel was invited by an earl to walk off the dance floor.Lily, who was arguing with Phoebus, suddenly took a step back and said, "...In this case, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Phoebus tried his best to deny it: "I don't understand what's wrong with you, Lily... There is actually another interesting thing about that rapier..."

"I've heard enough of your flattery and short stories." Lily said coldly, suddenly lifted the hem of her skirt, turned and walked towards the dance floor.Fubisi felt a great sense of crisis in his heart, and quickly pulled her back: "...What do you want to do?"

"When dancing, you have many opportunities to observe him closely." Lily's voice was low, like a whisper, "Aren't you very familiar with him..."

Phoebus stared blankly at his fiancée, feeling that she was so strange for the first time.There was a peculiar smile on those delicate lips|petals, as if mocking, but also as if expecting.

In just a moment, Phoebus made up his mind.

"I don't understand why you have such a misunderstanding, but I just met him, and I was almost killed by him accidentally... However, if this is your wish, I am willing to fulfill it for you."

He stretched out his hand and bowed courteously: "May I invite you to dance, Miss de Comte Laurel?"

Lily's smile disappeared in an instant, she stared at him for a moment, and then showed a sweet smile: "It's a great honor, Mr. de Châteaupe."

-

Ace didn't answer right away, but raised his arms and guided Jeanna to make a circle.During this short interval, his eyes fell on Anna who was standing talking to her husband de Beauge.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the other party's eyes happened to collide with him, and a trace of shadow passed over that sweet face that made people feel a little fake.

"You're right, Jeanna." Ace lowered his head slightly and whispered, "I don't like her. Would you like someone who hates you?"

Jeanne hesitated and shook her head.Just because she has weak intelligence doesn't mean she has weak judgment. "But she's fine."

"She's nice, but she hates me. Is it my fault?" Ace finally discovered where the deep-rooted inferiority complex in Jeanna came from, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Your Majesty is very nice, but His Majesty hates you, So it's your fault?"

Jeanna couldn't help being confused, the conversation with Ace was beyond her comprehension.She thought Ace's conclusion sounded a bit strange, but she couldn't refute it: "...Isn't it?"

"Good girl." Ace couldn't help but sighed, and his moving pace slowed down, "Is there any direct connection between how a person is and who he hates? How is a person, how is he with others?" If you don’t like him, is there any direct connection between them?”

Jeanna's eyes told Ace bluntly: she didn't understand.

"..." Ace decided to put it another way, "You see, hate, like, and fear are both human emotions. So, Jeanna, can you tell me why you saw me at the beginning? Do you feel fear when you

-

Spiritual power is like a fine net, silently covering the conversation area of ​​Louis XI and others.Through the feedback from this large network, every word they uttered and every subtle expression on their faces fell into Ace's "vision", as if he was standing beside them. Nothing left out.

Prince Charles walked straight up to his parents and saluted them.Queen Charlotte seldom saw her son, and she couldn't hide her excitement on her face.Charlie has completely inherited the shortcomings of his parents, but in the eyes of the queen, he is the cutest child in the world. After he finished saluting, he couldn't wait to hold his hand and went to the side, and asked his health carefully.

Louis XI's face was full of gloom, and his face, which had already become unattractive because of the cardinal, became even uglier.Strangely, the face of Cardinal Bourbon himself was also very ugly, but that of Cardinal La Barru was quite calm.

"I really didn't expect you to come to such an occasion, Bishop Frollo." Cardinal Bourbon said nonchalantly, "I thought you would stay devoutly in Notre Dame to pray after accepting the imperial order... But here you are, with Prince Charles."

Louis XI's face was still gloomy, but he looked much better than before.When the cardinal said this, it meant that what Claude was doing was something he didn't know in advance; and since the matter had nothing to do with the cardinal directly, it became much easier to solve.

Claude stood in their eyes calmly, and said calmly: "If there is no appearance of the crown prince, how can I appear in this ball openly?"

Louis XI said strangely: "That's not necessarily the case, there are people who have not obtained a pass and trespassed in front of you."

Both Cardinal Bourbon and La Barru, who "trespassed without authorization", looked very unhappy.The cardinal said: "I hope His Majesty will think about what I said before."

"I don't remember ever imprisoning such a person." Louis XI began to pretend to be stupid. "How can the king judge the bishop? You must be confused, Cardinal Bourbon. If Cardinal Frollo made something New medicines must be tried by the cardinal first."

He actually wished that Claude would dedicate the formula of "Red Liquid" to the cardinal, so that the Bourbon family could be wiped out without any effort.Although immortality is very tempting, the scene of Claude climbing out of the blood pool is still deeply imprinted in Louis XI's mind. Immortality does not mean invulnerability. When facing muskets, Claude also The same will die... It's just that I don't know when I will be resurrected.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved.Is Ace's resurrection related to Claude?After all, resurrection from the dead is really unimaginable in reality except in mythology... However, he still believes in the character of a hermit. Such a person will never say anything against him. It is false, and it will definitely not fool the people of Paris who have witnessed all that.

——That's right, in addition to recuperating in Umbritz Castle these days, Louis XI also sent people to investigate the story of Ace's resurrection.The thousands of Parisians who witnessed it all said convincingly that they saw an angel. Even if Louis XI still had doubts in his heart, it was inevitable that they gradually began to dispel them.

The cardinal didn't know that so many people witnessed that scene at that time. Even if Ace disappeared from the eyes of Parisians for a while, the rumors were blocked at the source, but after all, paper can't cover the fire. It only takes a small trick to reappear in front of those people, and thousands of Parisians will become his most loyal followers.What's more, although Bashir and the others are still under house arrest in the palace, the Grand Duke of Egypt and Padi Amon are not vegetarians. As long as someone can't help being curious and asks... the result will definitely be one-sided.

Because of Louis XI's hard and soft attitude, the cardinal almost exploded with anger.However, he believed that he also had support behind him, so he decided not to argue with Louis XI for the time being, and said coldly: "I hope you can always maintain this confidence." After speaking, he and La Barru left together.

After watching them go away, Louis XI turned his attention to Claude again: "I brought Charlie here specially, why did you come here, Bishop Frollo?"

"Let me answer this question, father." Charlie took his mother's hand and walked to Louis XI. His emerald eyes looked firmly at his father. "I hope the bishop will be my teacher."

Jeanne thought about it seriously, and replied: "Because your eyes are green...and he," her voice trembled again, and she couldn't help lowering her head, "his eyes are also green..."

Just because of this cheating reason, the hermit became a notorious perverted|perverted|peeping tom among the maids!Ace withdrew his mental power again. Hearing this sentence, the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching, and he said persuasively: "Then, is there any direct connection between the color of my eyes and my personality? You now Now that you know me, Jeanne, do you still feel afraid or hate me?"

Jeanne couldn't help laughing and shook her head.

"So, liking or hating a person can't be determined because of that person's good or bad." Ace resisted the urge to rub the top of her hair, and said gently, "Anna is a good person, so I am hated by the good person Anna." , is he a bad person? Since I am also a good person, why does Anna still hate me?"

Jeanna's gaze became confused again, this kind of question was simply too complicated for her.

"Therefore," Ace's tone became more gentle, and he slowly concluded, "Hate or like a person, sometimes there is no reason, and more often it has nothing to do with that person. His Majesty the King doesn't like you , doesn’t mean you’re bad. You’re a good girl who deserves to be pampered, Jeanna.”

Jeanna understood his compliment, and suddenly blushed, and almost stepped on Ace's foot in a panic: "You...I..."

"Want to say something, Jeanne?" Ace looked at her encouragingly, moving towards the edge of the dance floor.

"I..." The two stopped in front of a colonnade, and Jeanna's face was flushed and her eyes sparkled: "Then your liking for Priest Frollo...is there no reason?"

Ace raised his head reflexively, and met Claude who was walking over with a wine glass: "..."

Ah ha ha ha, this is so sharp that I have no way to refute it!
