The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

In most areas and provinces in the interior of the Republic, the shortage of soldiers has gone away from the people. Those who left their homeland because of the war returned to their homes one after another. They began to rebuild their land, licking their wounds and slowly regaining their vitality.

In Natalie’s hometown, in the final battle against the invaders, the Swedish commander who was besieged in the castle hung the white flag and surrendered. He was willing to hand over all the weapons and the looted money, just to keep them safe. Leave.

Although the hometown was peacefully regained, the damage to the territory of the Kishka family by the war was no less than that in other places. More than half of the leaders disappeared. The men all went to the battlefield, leaving only women, old people and children.

When Natalie returned there, the old people, women, and children were already busy plowing the land and planting cereals for the winter.

As the new lord, Natalie exempted everyone from the tax burden this year. People were enthusiastic, and they worked together to rebuild the burnt-out houses so that the warriors who defended their homes and the country would not be covered with tiles after their return. .

Everyone believes that this day will not be far away.

During that period of time, Natalie, like everyone else, could only stay in the dilapidated wooden house with thatched roof, because the family's ancestral manor had been turned into a piece of white ground. But Natalie did not complain, nor moved to Warsaw, Krakow and other big cities, because this is her home, she wants to rebuild her home.

"It's really a lord who is not inferior to Yanush Kishka." People praised Natalie's kindness and the spirit of Shi Xiaoyi.

But in the past few days, a terrible news came from the local area-Natalie Kishka, their young and beautiful female leader has become a monk.

The news is that there are noses and eyes. According to a maid of the Kishka family, the master has decided to donate half of her property to the monastery, and she herself will start her career as a nun with the blue lantern for the rest of her life.

Everyone was confused. Because a few days ago, the lord was still very energetic when he left for a place called Vidava. And the suffering of the motherland is over. Except in Lithuania and Prussia, the army of Elector Frederick William and the army of Prince Boguslav are still fighting with Karl X, trying to make the final struggle. The other places have basically been liberated.

And those who had betrayed the king, now kneel down in front of the king one by one, begging for forgiveness. The words of patriotism were constantly spoken from their mouths, and the knocked heads rang louder than the bells of the monastery.

Now, the Republic has no traitors, because traitors are no longer profitable.

The most dangerous moment of the motherland has passed, but Natalie, who is most qualified to enjoy the fruits of victory, wants to become a monk. What is going on?

Few people know that Natalie's heart has long since returned from Vidava. She consciously has no attachment to everything in the world. Her father died, and the person she loved "betrayed" herself. Besides the Lord, what else is worthy of her entrusting her soul?

Especially under the harassment of the desperate mood, after Natalie thought about everything she had encountered, the changes in fate she had experienced, the disappointment and pain she had experienced, convinced her that she had suffered All of this must be God's will, and it is the room where God wants her to convert to hermitage.

So Natalie decided to follow the guidance of this voice and follow this voice. She has to do more good deeds, prepare for the salvation of her soul, and then escape into the empty door to get a bond.

But her thoughts are inevitably disturbed by the outside world. Because no one who loves her wants her to be like this.

The first to persuade Natalie to change her mind was Mickiewicz. The loyal servant of the Kishka family strongly opposed the mistress's decision.

"Miss, if you escape into the empty door, the Kishka family's orthodox heritage will be cut off. Please think about the dead master and take it back!" Mickiewicz persuaded.

Natalie responded to Mickiewicz’s persuasion in this way: "Mickiewicz, my heart is determined, so don’t persuade me anymore. Besides, I have already chosen a young man among the family’s side children. Inheriting the family, that is a very outstanding young man, I believe that the family will not decline under his leadership."

Seeing that Natalie had even arranged the heir's affairs, Mickiewicz knew that it would be useless to persuade herself. So he sighed and stepped back.

However, Mickiewicz did not give up the plan to persuade Natalie. He knew that he was not strong enough to persuade Natalie, so he gave Queen Ludvika, hoping that the queen could come forward to persuade Natalie.

Only then did Queen Ludvika take leave of absence from her husband after receiving the letter, and quickly rushed to the manor of the Kishka family. And Pedro also came with the queen.

Pidro originally went to Warsaw to explain everything to King Jan Kazimierz. He had just entered the gate of the city and ran into Queen Ludwig's car, so he was taken away by the queen.

Pidro is different now. Relying on the huge wealth brought back from Crimea, Pidro lived a life of wearing gold and purple. When most people in the Republic of Poland, including the nobles, were impoverished and starved of food due to the military disaster, Pidro, as a mercenary, was even more moisturized.

On the carriage, Queen Ludwig listened to Pidro's account of Chechen and Fatima's union. Regarding this, Queen Ludvika could only sigh again and again. Queen Ludvika now doesn't expect Natalie and Cheerchen to reunite. She thinks it is a great achievement to dissuade Natalie from becoming a monk.

But when Queen Ludovica and Pedro arrived at the simple wooden house where Natalie lived temporarily, Queen Ludovica realized that she might still think things too simple. Although Natalie had spoken to herself and Pidro, her attitude was very indifferent, that is, she was not warm but did not lack the necessary courtesy.

Seeing this, Queen Ludvika "invited" Pedro out-she was going to speak to Natalie alone.

Pedro who left without mentioning. Queen Ludwig, who entered the bedroom with Natalie, looked at the rudimentary furnishings in the bedroom and shook her head.

There is nothing in the wooden house except a bed, a shrine, a table and two chairs. Although it can be imagined, this is the place where the heirs of the reputable Kishka family lived in the Republic.

"Natalie."

Queen Ludvika called Natalie's name, but she didn't know where to start.

"His Royal Highness, please sit here."

Natalie moved a chair and placed it in front of the queen.

Queen Ludwig sat down, she also sorted out the language.

"Natalie, I know all about Chechen." Queen Ludvika cautiously made an opening remark.

Natalie sat silently at the start of Queen Ludvika, her face expressionless.

Queen Ludwig looked at the way Natalie was very upset.

"Natalie," Queen Ludvika sat forward and took the girl's hand.

"I'm not here this time as a queen, but as your friend. So I hope you can tell me what you feel wronged and what you feel like."

"I, I don't." Natalie lowered her head, her voice like a mosquito.

Queen Ludvika shook her head. Seeing that Natalie refused to tell the truth, she asked bluntly: "Natalie, tell me your heart, is it because Cheerchen and Fatima have children?"

"No, of course not. God knows that I don't want him a long time ago!" Natalie rolled her head and said hard.

Queen Ludvika persuaded: "Natalie, I know Cheerchen is a bit too much this time. But you have to think about how much he has suffered for the king and the Republic: he attracted more than a dozen people in Crimea. The generals of Tsarist Russia and the tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian army alleviated the pressure on the eastern frontier of the Republic. He was meritorious to the Republic. Although he made the mistakes all men would make, I heard that he has not yet met Fatima. Formally married, everything can be redeemed."

When she said this, Queen Ludvika's face flushed. Because she never expected that she would say such a thing, isn't this indulging men and wronged women?

Queen Ludvika didn't expect Natalie to feel a little relieved after hearing her uncomfortable words, but she didn't expect Natalie to shook her head so fiercely.

"No, no, no!" Natalie cried.

Queen Ludvika was surprised at Natalie's strangeness, she hurriedly stood up and hugged the girl's head to comfort her.

"Calm down, calm down. Natalie." Queen Ludvika soothed.

As Queen Ludvika continued to stroke Natalie's hair, Natalie gradually calmed down, and her crying became quieter.

"Queen, I have been very tolerant of him. Even if he betrayed the Republic and the King, I was still ready to forgive him, but Cheerchen did not expect Cheerchen to treat me like this!" Natalie said while lying in the queen's arms.

She wanted to take Cheorjin's rescue of Christina into the coffin, but she didn't tell anyone. Because of Cheerchen's atonement, because Natalie still loves Cheerchen. Natalie felt that even if Cheerchen had made a big mistake, his credit in Crimea had been redeemed. As long as Cheerchen serves the country wholeheartedly in the future, Natalie can keep hiding and no longer let this matter become the gap between the two. But Natalie was extremely disappointed and unexpectedly, Cheer Chen returned to the Republic, but he unexpectedly had a child with Fatima.

Oh, God! Natalie felt like a fool.

Moreover, he was hiding in Silesia, and he didn't even have the guts to see himself.

She hates him.

Queen Ludwig heard that Natalie said Chechen had betrayed the Republic and betrayed the King, and she suspected that she had heard it wrong. After a while, the queen asked Natalie why she said that.

Natalie told her about the things she saw Cheerchen and Christina together in Bergzisalay and the stabbing of Cheerchen by herself, and told Queen Ludvika exactly. These words have been suppressed in Natalie's heart for too long, she needs a catharsis.

After listening to Natalie's account, Queen Ludvika couldn't help but sigh. She finally understood why Natalie didn't come back with the mission to Crimea.

"His Royal Highness, Cheerchen's fighting in Crimea saved the Republic from fighting on two fronts, but he backed the Queen of Sweden: our war with Sweden could have ended early, and Karl X's love for Christina was exhausted. Everyone knows. But because of him, the war has been going on for so long, and our people have paid a heavy sacrifice. Can all this be written off because of his current performance? I deceive myself, convince myself, and admit him I am innocent and can be written off. I have been deceiving myself and others, deceiving my conscience, but what have I gained!"

At this point, Natalie stopped talking. Because she couldn't help crying again.

Queen Ludvika hugged her again and offered her comfort.

Queen Ludvika didn't know what to say about Cheerchen's mistake. Although the queen didn't think that Karl X would end the war with the Republic because of Christina, Cheerchen's rescue of Christina itself was a betrayal. No wonder Natalie, who was full of patriotic enthusiasm, was discouraged by him at that time. However, Queen Ludvika knew that Cheechen had let Christina go, and she was a little bit happy in her heart-at least Cheechen didn't give her husband a chance to steal the fish.

God knows what his husband would do if he got Christina~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Back to Cheerchen and Natalie, Queen Ludvika could clearly feel that Natalie still There's Cheerchen. If she wants to become a monk, she wants to completely forget Cheerchen. If this person is no longer in her heart, why bother to forget? What's more, when Natalie mentioned Cheerchen, she kept her mouth shut with words like "forgive" and "convince yourself."

Thus, Queen Ludvika had a plan. She said to Natalie: "Natalie, my child. Since you have decided, if you really decide to become a monk, I won’t stop you. But don’t be at this time. It’s for the Lord’s sake, wait. Let's drive away the invaders, and let the daughters of the Kishka family see the Republic return to freedom."

This request came from the Queen of the Republic, and it was reasonable. Natalie hesitated for a while and then agreed.

"Then you and I will go to Warsaw. Recently, I am very lonely by myself. I hope someone can accompany me." Queen Ludvika demanded again.

This time, no matter what Queen Ludvik said, Natalie disagreed alive and well. In the end, the two had to compromise each step: Natalie and Queen Ludvik went to Warsaw, but did not live in the Kazimierz Palace, but only lived in the monastery outside the city for repairs.

The two talked again, but it was basically Queen Ludvika comforting Natalie.

After more than half an hour, Queen Ludvika opened the door and walked out. Pedro and Mickiewicz, who had been waiting anxiously outside, just came up and asked Natalie if they changed their minds.

"I persuaded her for the time being," said Queen Ludvika. Then, the queen looked at Pidro with a stern, reproachful look, and said to him: "If you still have a conscience, then go back and write a letter to your nephew. If Cheerchen still has a problem with Natalie Love, then let that Judas come to Warsaw!"
