[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

The Bishop of Guilford gave Jo a few more words, and let her go.

After Joe left, the Bishop of Guildford still stood on the pulpit, flipping through books.

A figure steps into the cathedral.

The Bishop of Guilford knew who it was without looking up.

He said, "I'm still worried, do you have to come and see?"

The visitor hesitated, but did not speak.

Bishop Guilford smiled kindly and looked up at him.

The man standing in front of Guildford was none other than Claude Frollo with a serious and melancholy face, wearing a plain black robe.

Guilford sighed helplessly, "Claude, she has also become a bishop now, and she is also a duty given by His Majesty the King himself. You don't need to worry about her. It's a pity that you had to shirk the bishop's duty for her before..."

Claude lowered his head and said seriously: "I am not refusing my responsibilities, but I think I am not as good as Miss Wickham. Whether it is character, belief, or ability, I think she is more suitable for the bishop than me. Position."

Bishop Guilford stared at him as if he were his own ignorant child.

Claude still bowed his head.

Guilford smiled and said, "Okay, I know what kind of person you are, and this is what I value about you, but Miss Wickham may not be as simple as you think."

Guilford watched Claude's expression, "I have seen the route investigated by Miss Wickham, which coincides with the parish you are going to. If you want, you can go with her all the way."

Claude froze for a moment. Although he quickly adjusted, he was still discovered by Bishop Guilford.

Guilford showed a kind and gentle smile, and looked at Claude tacitly.

Claude looked tense under Guilford's gaze.

When Claude was about to be unbearable, Guilford said: "Okay, you go back and rest."

Claude had to turn around and leave.

Guilford looked at his back, and continued to look at the book in his hand with downcast eyes, as if talking to himself: "You must know restraint, restraint is a virtue."

Claude's shoulder muscles tightened suddenly, and he responded in a low voice: "Yes."

……

Joe quickly held the relevant ceremony, and the black clothes were replaced with purple robes.

The church gave her a series of addresses, and she needed to go to them one by one to verify whether there was any devil. The church also asked her to leave early.

George saw the addresses through Joe's eyes, too.

George: "It seems that when I go back, there will be no way to see my sister."

System: [It's not just you, the baron can't be cured anymore. 】

Joe smiled, "There is a chance to meet."

George showed a similar smile, "I understand sister."

The system has a question mark on its forehead, completely unaware of what charades this team of siblings are playing.

Before Jo set off, Friedrich North came to see her again.

The two sat together in the spacious carriage, and the carriage was driving on the roads around the University City, with the bright green scenery continuously receding outside the window.

Friedrich: "Sorry to take up your time again before you leave."

"I've been a little busy recently, and only at this time can I have some time."

Joe smiled and looked at Friedrich: "Thank you, Mr. Friedrich North, for providing me with the opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Friedrich froze for a moment, then said in surprise, "You know it's me?"

Joe laughed and said, "My lord bishop told me that it was His Majesty the King who suggested that I investigate the traces of the devil, and that His Majesty the King could make such a decision. The only person I know is Mr. Friedrich North."

Friedrich had a strange look on his face, looking both helpless and gentle.

"Miss Wickham, I did this for myself, for my brother, and for the North family. Don't think so well of me."

"Because of the help of church members from all over the country, this allowed us to sort out addresses with strange rumors all over the country in a short period of time."

"It's just that I'm still a little worried about you going on the road alone. I have inquired that when you were in the local church, you also went to remote villages, but you have a helper by your side."

Joe: "Mr. Friedrich North..."

Friedrich smiled slightly, "I have already invited that Mr. Alan Sorrell, and he will be able to go to the seminary tomorrow to meet you."

Joe showed a helpless expression, "Thank you..."

Friedrich quickly interrupted her, "Miss Jo Wickham, you don't need to thank me, I told you... I'm not that good."

"Christian also wanted to come, but when he went out again, he really didn't cross the hurdle in his heart."

System: [If it were me, I would definitely be ashamed. The last time the social death was so serious, it wouldn't last a year or so. 】

The two were silent for a while.

Friedrich tugged at his scarf uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "As for the first place you went to, it was the territory where the famous Mrs. Rochester was. That lady was called the Black Widow..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Friedrich shook his figure and said angrily, "The coachman!"

The coachman's fearful voice sounded outside: "Young master, the road is too narrow, and there is a carriage blocking our way on the other side, it is really difficult to pass."

Friedrich opened the car door and leaned over to look.

The door of another carriage was also opened.

Friedrich was taken aback, and then said: "Mr. Darcy?"

Qiao stared steadily ahead.

Joe looked calm, but the system was very excited.

[It's Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy is about to appear again. 】

Qiao smiled helplessly: "I know, but what are you excited about?"

System: [Master, didn't you see the list in your hand?There is Longborn on it! 】

Where is Longborn?That's where the story of "Pride and Prejudice" originated!

Oh, although Jane and Elizabeth have turned their sexes now, Longbourn is still there.

Joe smiled, "Of course I know, and I also know that I may also accompany Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley on this trip."

【Hey? 】

Joe: "Didn't you notice that I received a letter from Mr. Darcy before, and what I wrote in my reply?"

The system coughed, [Isn't it because of the special relationship between Mr. Darcy and the master that I didn't peek at the letter. 】

Joe: "It's okay, you can watch as much as you want, after all, you belong to me too."

The system blushed helplessly.

Soon, the system suddenly realized, 【So, Mr. Darcy came here in a hurry because of you, master? 】

Joe patted the purple robe, showing a gentle smile.

She got up and seemed to want to get out of the car.

Mr. Darcy, who was in the opposite carriage, had jumped out of the carriage.

Boots digging into the mud, he trudged up to Friedrich North's car.

Friedrich stared at Mr. Darcy's muddy boots, and sighed helplessly, "Mr. Darcy, I have heard about your relationship with Miss Wickham, but you are too anxious, we can definitely Change to a more clean and decent place to talk."

Mr. Darcy stared at Friedrich, with suppressed anger in his smoky eyes, "If Mr. North didn't take people out of the city without even saying hello, and still go around in such a remote place, I would It will not change from following silently to taking a shortcut and blocking the carriage."

Mr. Darcy said seriously: "Mr. Friedrich North, I know you are an excellent nobleman, but please step aside. I want to confirm Miss Wickham's situation with my own eyes."

Mr. Friedrich North looked at Mr. Darcy. "I swear on my honor, Mr. Darcy, that I will make nothing wrong with Miss Wickham."

Mr. Darcy did not move his step or his eyes.

The two looked at each other, and the air here suddenly became tense.

The system nervously said: [Wow, this is the Shura field written in the human book? 】

After a long time, Friedrich finally took a step back and let the door open.

"Mr. Darcy, you are a persistent gentleman. I think you must have learned a lot after you came here?"

Mr. Darcy got into the carriage, and said with a cold expression, "I know, it just happened that Mr. Bingley invited me to go to the country for vacation together, and we can give Miss Wickham a ride along the way."

The system said quietly in Qiao's mind: [It's not just a journey, he is almost ready to protect him all the way. 】

Obviously, Friedrich also knew what Mr. Darcy was not saying.

He stared fixedly at Mr. Darcy, with an expression of envy and helplessness, "Mr. Darcy, you are much freer and more persistent than me. Please fulfill your promise."

He held out his hand to Darcy.

Darcy glanced at it and reached out to hold it.

The two gentlemen clasped their hands, as if silently exchanging some promise.

Darcy looked at Joe again, smiled and said, "Miss Wickham, long time no see."

Joe showed a helpless smile, "Yeah, although I haven't seen you for a few months, I always feel that many things have happened."

Mr. Darcy gave a gentleman's salute, "Congratulations to Miss Wickham on becoming the Bishop of Purple."

Joe: "I just hope to help more people."

Under the supervision of Friedrich, the two exchanged ordinary greetings, and then Mr. Darcy let his carriage go back, and he rode in Friedrich's carriage with Joe.

Friedrich, too, felt uncomfortable in Mr. Darcy's presence.

He said implicitly: "It's been a hard journey. If there is any inconvenience or need for help, Miss Wickham writes to me, and I will definitely help Miss Wickham."

Joe looked embarrassed and hesitant to speak.

Friedrich: "You seem to have a problem, to be blunt."

Joe: "I don't care about it myself, but my younger brother George Wickham went to sea with the army a few days ago, and he will return to the capital soon, but when he comes back, I have already set off. I am Worried about my brother."

Friedrich said straightforwardly: "It's not difficult, I will take care of your brother for you."

Mr. Darcy showed a look of indescribable expression.

Friedrich looked at Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy said honestly: "Mr. Friedrich North, I have always been taking care of Mr. George Wickham. This time, let me do it. I will order the housekeeper and servants who stay in the capital Take care of him, besides..."

He showed a headache, "...I'm used to it. Friedrich North may find it difficult to get used to Mr. Wickham for a while."

Friedrich thought that Darcy deliberately seized the opportunity to sell in front of Joe, and couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with this? Even if you're not used to it, you'll get used to it after a long time."

"It's just taking care of one person. The North family can still handle it in the capital."

Mr. Darcy could hardly help covering his face.

Mr. North, you really can't handle George's shamelessness!

Joe stared at Friedrich with full eyes: "Really? Dear Mr. Friedrich North, may I entrust my brother to you?"

Seeing Joe's gaze like this, Friedrich's heart ignited a fire.

He vowed, "Don't worry, Miss Wickham, I will take good care of him."

Qiao laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. As a monk, I should dedicate everything to God, but... I don't care about everything. The only thing I can't let go of is my younger brother."

"My brother has a bad temper, but at least he knows his mistakes and can correct them. If he makes a mistake, you must criticize him in time and let him correct it."

Friedrich smiled and said, "My brother is also bad-tempered. No matter how bad he is, how can he be worse than my brother? Don't worry, I know it."

System: [No, you don't have a clue in your heart!You will definitely regret it. 】

【Especially, your father and younger brother have been bullied to death by George. 】

【How did George, the big killer, fall on your head again! 】

Joe also felt aggrieved, "If possible, I would also like to take George with me. After all, bringing George into Longbourn means that emotional energy is pouring in."

George immediately said: "Sister, don't worry, once I go back, I will definitely try my best to get to Longbourne."

System: [You can spare Longborn! 】
