"So, Meg, you don't have to blame yourself at all. If I am willing to be played by others, you can't protect anything at all, can you?"
Meg jumped up in surprise, and seized Margaret's hands.
"You! You don't have to be like this at all! There are few women in this world who are nobler than you. No matter what you want, you can easily find it. There's no need for this...such..."
Meg couldn't go on, she was really hurting at the moment.
Margaret was the noblest and purest girl she had ever known.
In Meg's view, she is like a whooper swan soaring in the blue sky, beautiful and unreachable.
But such a swan would fall into the quagmire willingly and let the toad...
Well, even if Meg is very angry, she has to admit that Serena is not a toad at all.
But even so, in front of Margaret, Serena has nothing to be proud of.
For Margaret to fall in love with Serena is already condescending.
It's not enough to fall in love, and it's too much to take the initiative to give it for nothing!
Meg felt her mind go blank, and she didn't know what to say.
"Now, Meg, look on the bright side. She doesn't love me, but she does, doesn't she?"
Margaret spoke quietly.
"Besides, she doesn't love me, nor does she fall in love with anyone else? Maybe, for Serena, the world is just a huge circus, and we girls are just cute little animals performing in the venue."
"But even so, there are plenty of girls who would like to be by her side. As for me, I just want to be the one closest to her. Do you understand, Meg?"
Meg clenched her fist unwillingly.
But in the end, it was loosened.
Yes, her master voluntarily did so, so what could she do?
Besides, even if she really came to the door fully armed, what problem could she solve?
"Okay, that's it."
Margaret shook her head lightly, and put on her usual gentle smile.
"Cheer up, everyone, do the work at hand, and we will be able to go home soon!"
"Meg, come with me, let's go to the tent together."
"Although Serena should be able to handle those things by herself, I'm still a saint on her level, so it's hard to let her do everything."
"Martha, I'll leave it to you in the house. Just burn those bedsheets, don't waste effort cleaning them..."
Margaret quickly mobilized her subordinates, allowing the busy atmosphere to dissipate the depression and resentment just now.
Then, surrounded by Meg and others, she boarded the carriage and headed for the big tent.
Chapter 37
When Margaret arrived at the big tent, Serena had already exited Zaghe Khan's room with Sir Darnell.
After seeing Margaret, Serena nodded with a smile and explained.
"Zhahe Khan's side is not bad. Although his physical condition is still not optimistic, but after I help him heal with magic, tomorrow's ceremony should definitely be fine."
"Next, we're going to Uqiratu's place. He specially asked us to go to his place after the interview. Margaret, you should come with us."
Margaret nodded lightly and joined the ranks of the mission.
Soon, they arrived at the room where Uqiratu was.
After asking them to sit down, the rickety old man shunned the servants around him. Obviously, he had something important to say that he didn't want many people to know.
"This time, it's really thanks to you who helped us put down the chaos."
When saying this cliché, Uqiratu's eyes swept over Serena's face.
"Unfortunately, we are in a delicate moment, and you have seen a lot of ugly things."
"But now, it's over."
Serena nodded with a smile.
Indeed, after Laghshuni's death and Urilan's strong return, Uqiratu could only take a step back and let the matter pass.
Speaking of which, he can be regarded as Wu Rilan's teacher, and there is no embarrassment in turning to support Wu Rilan.
As for Sudrahe, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he can be the khan for a period of time and then pass the throne to his daughter without any psychological burden.
"But even though things have passed, we still have to guard against some things."
Uqiratu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stared at Serena firmly.
Although Serena was a little puzzled, she still looked at each other calmly.
"Laghshuni made a very bad start, and you helped Urilan amplify this bad result."
Serena immediately understood that Uqiratu was talking about the assassination.
Indeed, no matter how subtle their attitude was before, they just waited for Zhahe Khan to die of illness and never thought of assassinating him.
Perhaps this is also a kind of tradition and tacit understanding in the wasteland—it's a pity that this tacit understanding was eventually broken.
"We are very worried that this bad effect will come back to Wu Rilan."
Serena nodded.
This is indeed understandable.
The royal family has already withered to such an extent, if an ambitious person suddenly attacks and cuts off Wu Rilan, it will be too embarrassing for the royal family with no successors.
However, is it worth talking to foreigners like them about these things?
Soon, Serena knew why.
"We believe that this malice will not exist for a long time. As long as this short period of time passes, the wind of the wasteland will take everything away."
"However, during this period of time, it's best for Wu Rilan to go out and see the outside world."
When he said this, Serena suddenly realized.
Co-authored, the barbarians are planning to let Wu Rilan go to Marconia to avoid disaster under the pretext of studying abroad!
That's right, in this way, it is not only decent, but also solves practical problems, which is a good idea.
Serena who reacted politely nodded.
"Of course, Marconia will treat guests from afar, won't you, Sir Darnell?"
Serena took it for granted that the king should be responsible for arranging this kind of thing, after all, it was the reception of a foreign royal family.
But Uqiratu shook his head and interjected:
"No, what we mean is to ask Urilan to visit your church. This is the unanimous opinion of Zahe Khan, Su Delahe and myself."
Serena froze for a moment.
Letting Wu Rilan experience the chic life of a nobleman, but do you want to let Wu Rilan experience being a nun?
But if you think about it carefully, it's not bad.
Wu Rilan is not a little girl who has never seen the world. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, full of courage. In the circle of Marconian aristocrats, it is really hard to say who she will meet and what trouble she will get into.
But inside the church, things are much simpler.
Once arranged in the monastery, there is no man around, and it is guaranteed that there will be no illegitimate children that affect the purity of the blood of the barbarians.
Moreover, Wu Rilan is the kind who is easy to learn, relying on the rich books and manuscripts in the church, maybe he can unlock a few new skills after staying for a while.
Serena, who consciously saw through Uqiratu's thoughts, once again showed a polite smile.
"That's good too. It's too late for us to welcome you. During this period, Margaret and I have received U Rilan's care, and it's time for us to reciprocate."
Uqiratu nodded, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he was hesitating.
In the end, he still expressed his needs with a little difficulty.
"Actually, we also want to hire a few church people from your side to our side."
"Oh?"
This time Serena was really surprised.
The beliefs of the barbarians are different from most races, they are worshiped by the ancestors.
Under the circumstances of different beliefs, they actually wanted foreign priests to enter here...
In a way, this has become deviant.
"This kind of thing... as long as you don't mind, we won't stop it."
In the end, Serena could only reply in this way.
She is not the pope, but she can't decide on such an important policy direction, so she can only answer vaguely.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of shame. I'll tell you why."
Uqiratu looked at Serena, and said with a little self-mockery [<=
"The power of the ancestral spirits is not as good as before. Our ancestors did not become gods after all, which makes their power inevitably decline over time."
"At first, I thought that even if it had already declined, the gap with you would not be very big. But on that day... I have to admit that the gap is so big that I can't see hope."
That's right, the divine power that Serena mobilized when activating the artifact deeply shocked Uqiratu.
As the high priest of the clan, Uqiratu actually did not intend to replace Zaghe Khan at the beginning.
It was he who exhausted all means and couldn't cure Zahe Khan that made him consider taking over the position when necessary.
And the magic medicine that followed was actually a specially made holy water smuggled from Marconia by one of his priests at a huge price—it was the batch jointly produced by Serena and Bishop Dom.
If the curative effect of the holy water is better than that of the secret medicine, and it can also be explained that the Marconians may have uniqueness in pharmaceuticals, then the divine power released by Serena can't be faked.
Even if he was reluctant in his heart, Uqiratu had to think about what to do with the barbarians in the future.
The entire group of priests on my side can't mobilize half the extraordinary power of a random saint in the south, so what is the value of this kind of priest?
It is necessary to learn more about the situation and determine whether equal strength can be obtained before the two sides fight again!
This is the most responsible decision made by Uqiratu as the high priest to the barbarians.
"I hope you didn't deceive us. May the goddess St. Gillian bless you, and she is willing to bless us..."
Chapter 38 It's time to make a decision
In the quiet prayer room, Ercle III finished his evening prayers and slowly stood up.
Just as he walked out of the room with a smile on his face, he saw Ingrid with a tangled face.
"What's wrong? Is there something difficult?"
Elcle III asked gently.
"The two children are coming back."
Ingrid replied while twisting her fingers.
"Isn't that great? I heard that they suffered a lot in the wasteland this time. We should let them rest well when they come back this time."
"I have also greeted Tempus, and he has promised that he will not arrange other tasks for Serena in the short term."
Ingrid showed a look of relief, but immediately frowned again.
"That's fine, but that's not what bothers me."
"Oh?"
The Pope raised his eyebrows, showing a curious look.
"Are there any other questions?"
"It's the assessment period, and the assessment period is coming soon!"
Ingrid shook her hand a little irritably.
