【Notre Dame Cathedral】Salome of the Archdeacon

Is this a romantic plot in a shoujo manga? The petals are flying, and the male protagonist smiles at the female protagonist... I used to like to read it at the small bookstall in the town!In an instant, my girlish heart burst, and I seemed to be a little drifting. I'm not ready yet... Hee hee!

Claude looked at my bewildered expression, then slowly withdrew his smile, twitched his tight lips slightly in embarrassment, blinked at me peacefully and slowly, and looked at me carefully, he thought it was because He frightened me by his sudden approach to me, he thought, it is really rude for a priest to approach a girl suddenly.

Regarding this point, I can only say that he is tooyoungtoosimple—in fact, I am addicted to his rare smile and cannot extricate myself (covering my face), I have known him for so long and I have never seen him smile, but today, he smiled at me up!This is quite a feat!

Then I fell into fantasy and even thought of the child's name hehe, my brain was empty and I returned a sweet smile to him, bent over and covered my face, excitedly kicked my feet lightly, and took off happily.

Claude looked at the wild and giggling girl in front of him, and didn't know what she was thinking, so he felt helpless and funny. There were many people around, and he didn't dare to show too close. He felt at a loss rarely in his life.

Seeing his embarrassment, I also felt very embarrassed.

"Sorry, my lord, I didn't make trouble on purpose. I couldn't find a seat, and my arms weren't strong enough to support me climbing up the pillar, so I came up with an idea." I looked at him awkwardly and explained.

He stared deeply at me with eyes like deep pools, and he didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking about something, leaving a pair of faint shadows in his deep eye sockets.

He won't be angry now!

I blinked pitifully at him, and nervously grasped the strap of the small silver water bottle hanging by my waist with my small hands, and added without confidence: "I admit this is a crooked idea, I'm sorry, everyone, I... I'm sorry ..." As my voice became smaller and smaller, my head lowered lower and lower, and I didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore. At this moment, I was like a guilty child who was caught by his parents for being mischievous.

He just looked at my golden-brown head that was getting lower and lower in silence, and suddenly said calmly: "You...would you like to come with me, and I will take you to find a seat!"

"Ah?!" I raised my head in surprise, my dazed golden eyes met his calm gaze, this time I was at a loss.

"It's near me... there's an empty seat... it's very suitable... for you." Claude first glanced around cautiously, straightened his chest, crossed his hands nervously, his face was reddish, and looked tentative asked me in a muffled voice.His eyes didn't seem to dare to look directly at me, he avoided my eyes left and right, kept staring at the feathers next to my ears, raised his head, looked serious, and blinked quickly pretending to be calm.

"Yeah! Thank you, you are too kind! Alright! Let's go!" I stared at him immediately, Claude didn't blame me and even helped me find a seat, he was a kind person!

"Come with me..." Claude pursed his lips, with a straight face, awkwardly grabbed the silver end of my cane, and I followed him closely with the other end, and he looked back at me from time to time, For fear that I would disappear by his side.

He took me to the VIP seat at the top of the auditorium steps. There are two seats in a single room, and there are two empty seats. There are many French ministers sitting on the side, each of them is accompanied by a gorgeously dressed noble wife or a charming mistress, and on the left are Flemish envoys and their wives with high buns, There are many priests' wives in the middle area. They wear black skirts, their headscarves tightly cover their hair and necks, and only their faces are exposed (priests can actually get married in the Middle Ages, but our classmate Claude chose Roman Catholic abstinence for life).

The nobles hugged their women, and when Claude and I passed by their side, they stopped their intimacy and looked at me and Claude curiously, with disbelief on their faces, even...horrified?I also looked at them curiously, why are they looking at me like this?Is there something on my face?Am I ugly?I patted my cheek, it's okay.

"Oh! It's amazing! That upright and gloomy archdeacon figured it out? He brought a young beauty. Is that his lover or his wife? Look at this little face, this figure... so beautiful Ah! No wonder this unreasonable, smelly and hard aristocratic wizard fell in love with her, but why didn't he hold her by his own hand? It's strange that there is a stick in between..." A minister was fascinated Staring at my back after walking a long distance, he whispered to his mistress.

"It's pretty good looking, but it doesn't look good! The little bitch who seduced the priest! Nasty! What's so interesting! It must be the vicar she seduced! The vixen! Bah!" His mistress threw the minister with her hands Turning his face away, he whispered jealously, and the sharp red nails almost scratched the man's face.

"God, you are the most beautiful, really! Don't forget that you are just a whore from the Valley of Love! How dare you say that..." The minister glanced at her and muttered, but he was afraid that the woman would go crazy and catch her again. his face.

"What did you say!" "Damn it! Nothing!"

……

But Claude and I didn't hear their malicious conspiracy evaluation about us at all, and I don't know the special significance of this seat, I only know that it is the position of this group of nobles.

"My lord cardinal arranges that every prince, minister, and noble priest can bring their own family members. Princess Flanders will also visit Notre Dame today, and choose a noble family member to be her maid after marrying into France... ...Women break into the Holy Land at will! How is this possible! Princesses are not allowed! I strongly opposed this at first! But the emperor didn't listen to my proposal at all! This is blasphemy!" Seeing my curious eyes, Claude explained: "They'll never listen to a priest's advice!"

"A seat for a family member? But how can I sit casually... I am neither a nobleman, nor a minister, and I have no relatives of priests! They will drive me away." I scratched my head and asked him even more puzzled.

He contemplated for a long time before he hesitated and said with a blushing face: "But I also have an empty family member seat! But, you know... I don't... You sit down, right next to me, don't worry... …so we can…”

"It's not fair! Dear brother! Why can Miss Salome sit in that seat? I just sat down for a while, but you immediately kicked me out with a sullen face! And let me go! She is not us People from the Frollo family! Unless she is my sister-in-law! I will give up my seat! Hahaha! You won’t..." Before Claude finished speaking, the blond-haired, blue-eyed college student slid down from the pillar not far in front, Walked over and squeezed between us with a hippie smile and complained in a low voice.

Before the young man finished speaking, Claude's face turned red, and he immediately stood up angrily and gritted his teeth in a low voice, saying, "Shut up! John Frollo! What are you talking about?" Is that how you respect your brother! Shameless! You are blaspheming! Get out of here!"

It turned out that this student was Claude's younger brother John the Mill. Claude seemed to be angry with him, and I was a little at a loss.

"Give me some money!" John sat down on another seat. "Dear brother, that's all I ask, please help me!"

"No way! I just gave you four gold coins for tuition and living expenses the day before yesterday, so much money! How come you have no money again in just two days! Do you know! Our family's fiefdom has a total tax of ten gold coins this month, and we I also need to pay the lord of the Holy See in Paris a tax of four gold coins!" Claude seemed to be pissed off by John.

"If you don't give me the money, I won't get up and let the "sister-in-law" stand up and watch the miracle drama!" John lay down on the chair in a rogue manner.

"What nonsense! Get out!" Claude's head was almost filled with black smoke.

"Forget it, my lord vicar... Claude! Thank you very much for your kindness! This position really doesn't belong to me, I'd better go down!" Seeing Claude like this, I really couldn't bear it, and I finally knew Why is he always so sad.

I gently took his arm, and with tears in my eyes, I smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay! Don't bother! I can see it from below! I will go to the river beach square to dance at night! You Will you come and see it!" After I finished speaking, I turned around and was about to walk down.

But Claude held the end of my cane tightly. He frowned and said coldly to John: "Here's the money..." Then he immediately untied the money bag and threw it to John with no expression on his face.

John quickly opened the money bag, so many silver eagle dollars!Enough for him and his friends to go to the pub several times, and find a few girls! "Now I can get out, thank you, my respected brother, I wish you a happy time with Miss Salome~" He happily put the money bag in his hand and took it away, and climbed up to the pillar again superior.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Claude is too sad!He is a tragedy...

After a long silence, Claude suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, turned around and closed the curtain of the single room, then directly hugged me and pressed me on the chair, and whispered in my ear with hot air from his lips: "In this way, you will have no reason to leave my side! No one can stop me! I... and you, we... will get along very well!"

"I'm small and fresh! I don't know what you're going to do! Claude!" I was also a little panicked at this moment.

"...Don't be afraid... just watch the drama." Claude looked at my panicked look, and said hoarsely and gently.He slowly opened the curtain and sat on the other side, blushing, but kept holding my hand tightly.
