Chapter 165

At this moment, in the carriage compartment, besides Downey, there was a man with short blond hair.

"Master Downey, you seem to be in a bad mood?" The blond man looked at Downey opposite and asked tentatively.

"Yeah." Danny nodded.

"Father, you are hiding something from me. We are obviously a family..."

"Perhaps the Duke is afraid that Master Downey will have a bad impact if you know about this matter. In short, Master Downey, please understand the Duke's painstaking efforts."

"Of course I understand, but my father has never understood me. In the academy, I followed his instructions and made trouble for the two guys from the Stranik family. As a result, I was kicked out of the academy. Losing face."

"Now that I'm old enough to manage family affairs, look at what Orson is doing next door, and look at what I'm doing." Downey couldn't help complaining.

"Oson can gain so much trust even though he is not his biological son, but what about me? Zenit, tell me, am I very incompetent?"

"Master Tangny, your ability is not bad at all. People around you are wrong about you." Zenit said this and shook his head quickly.

Shortly after he surrendered to Giovanni with a certificate of surrender, he came here with the news that the Duke of Antica was mobilizing and preparing to declare war on the Duke of Naples.

After learning the news, Giovanni did not dare to neglect at all, and quickly ordered the territory to expand its army and prepare for war.

Of course, Zenit, who brought this information, could not go back. After thinking about it, Giovanni casually gave him a position and dismissed him.

But Zenit just relied on his ability to get the appreciation of Downey in a pub and was selected by Downey as his staff.

But Giovanni didn't know all this. He only knew that his son's behavior recently was becoming less and less like what he expected, as if someone was guiding him behind his back.

"Well, it's also thanks to you, Zenit." Donnie said, looking at Zenit with a little gratitude.

"If it weren't for you, I would still be scolded by my father right now."

Although he is currently only a deputy, responsible for uploading and distributing information, he still has some power.

My father's attitude and evaluation of himself have also changed from hating iron to being unsatisfactory now.

All of this is inseparable from Zenit.

"It's nothing, I just did what I should do."

"Don't worry, Zenit. When I inherit the duchy, I will grant you a piece of land and let you build your own family and pass it on from generation to generation." Downey said this and patted Zenit's hand. Shoulder.

"Then, I'll be right here. I'd like to thank Mr. Danny first."

…

City of Saint Laurent, cathedral.

The choir had just finished its performance, and the devout believers were sitting on their chairs to pray.

Orson walked into the church from the side under the guidance of a nun, and then saw the person he wanted to see.

"His Royal Highness the Pope." Orson said this and looked at the kind-faced old man in front of him.

"Mr. Orson, long time no see." Pope Levi said this and came forward with a smile.

Beside Levi, Saint Lilia also walked up.

"Master Osun came here to pray?"

"No." Orson shook his head, and then said: "I want to ask the Pope something."

"Say it." Levi heard this and waited for Orson to speak.

"I would like to ask, what should we do if there is a big noble who teams up with foreigners and lures foreigners into the country?"

"Master Orson, you suddenly ask this... Could it be that you have discovered this kind of person?" When Levi heard what Orson said, the smile on his face also faded.

This is the most sacred place for the human race and a holy place in the hearts of believers in the Goddess of Life. It is no joke to mention words like aliens and pagans here.

"If there is such a person, even if he is a noble, he should be excommunicated."

"That's right." When Orson heard this, he smiled and nodded.

"So, Mr. Osun, can you tell me now, who is it?"

"About this, you should receive news in a few days." Orson said, politely greeted the two of them, then turned and left.

Levi frowned, he knew something was definitely wrong, so he turned his eyes to Lilia beside him.

Lilia and Levi looked at each other, then she nodded and followed out.

Chapter 67: Cross-talk?

Shortly after Orson walked out of the church, he stopped.

There was also the sound of rapid footsteps behind him.

"Master Osun." Lilia followed, come on

Arriving at Orson.

"Your Highness the Saint, who are you?" Orson asked knowingly.

"As for the noble you just mentioned, could you please tell us who it is?"

"Didn't I tell you this before? You will know when the time comes."

"But...why are you so sure?"

Coincidentally, at this time, a group of guards on the street protected a carriage heading towards the church.

"Look, I'm here to find you." Orson said with a smile in his eyes.

"Your Highness the Saint, go back quickly, something big is going to happen."

After saying that, without waiting for Lilia to answer, Orson's figure disappeared in front of her again.

Lilia could only return to the church in frustration.

…

"The princess went to church?" Alsace replied casually, sitting in the military tent outside the city, playing with the military talisman in his hand.

In front of him was the spy he had placed in Saint Laurent City.

"Yes, Your Highness, a man came to the entrance of the Imperial Court this afternoon. He went in and never came out again. After that, His Royal Highness took the people to the cathedral."

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know..." the eyeliner said and lowered his head. "But what is certain is that what the princess did this time must have something to do with the church."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Arthas said and stood up.

"Okay, now prepare your horses. Let's go directly to the Imperial Court and pay attention to the case that my sister is responsible for. It should be natural, right?"

"Okay, my subordinates will go and get ready."

Afterwards, Alsace led several people towards the Imperial Court.

With the royal token, the journey was smooth, and it was not until he came to the Imperial Court that he was stopped.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess has an order that no one is allowed to set foot in the Imperial Court while the case is being processed, otherwise it will affect the investigation of the case."

The person standing in front of him was Elsa's confidant and friend, Avro.

Looking at the elf girl in front of him, Arthas asked doubtfully: "I don't know which case the princess is trying. Could you please tell me?"

"Sorry, this is confidential..."

"Do you think I will leak the secret?" Arthas looked a little unhappy when he saw Avro's guarded manner.

"As a member of the royal family, you cannot enter the Imperial Court. What kind of ridiculous joke is this?"

"That's right. Your Highness the Princess takes herself too seriously. She is obviously only responsible for taking over the judicial system. There is no reason to prevent Her Highness Alsace from entering."

At this time, an attendant behind Alsace also complained loudly.

Avro looked at the scene in front of him, a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage and said: "I'm sorry, this matter is indeed related to the future of the empire. Her Highness the Princess is very concerned about it, so the fewer people know about it, The better, please don’t embarrass me anymore, Your Highness.”

Arthas had no way of embarrassing Avro. After all, Avro was from the elves and her status seemed to be quite high. Attacking her would only damage the relationship between the two clans.

But that doesn’t mean Alsace can’t force its way through.

"Since you have said that it is related to the future of the empire, then I, the prince, cannot just sit idly by."

Saying this, he made a move to rush inside.

In the end, Avro still stopped in front of him.

"What, you want to stop me?" Alsace raised his eyebrows and looked at Avro.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has an order..." Avro repeated this sentence.

Just when the powder keg was about to be ignited, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Your Highness Alsace!"

Orson came over from behind and seemed to be in a hurry.

"Master Orson?" Alsace was a little surprised when he saw Orson.

"What a coincidence. You said you were looking for me before, but I didn't expect that we would meet here." As he said this, he quickly walked forward and came to Alsace and Avro's side.

"Mr. Orson, why are you here...?"

"Ah, when I tried those nobles before, some materials were left in the imperial court. I plan to take them back and publicize them in their territory to let the people know how much their lords have done."

"That's it." Alsace nodded.

"That prince

What about you, Your Highness? I remember Her Royal Highness the Princess is in charge of the Imperial Court, right? Why are you here, Your Highness? "

"Well..." Alsace pondered for a moment, and then said: "Because someone told me today that Elsa went to church. I felt it should be a big event, so I came over quickly to take a look."

"It seems that His Highness Alsace is still very concerned about His Highness Elsa's work." Orson said this, and he didn't know if he meant it as a compliment or something else.

Then, Orson turned his attention to Avro and secretly gave Avro a wink.

"If I remember correctly, isn't this Afro-san? Why did you stop here?"

Avro had no choice but to repeat what he just said.

After hearing this, Orson pondered for a while, and then said: "I think that as a prince, His Highness Alsace is unlikely to do anything detrimental to the empire. Just let us in. After all, Elsa Your Highness may also make a misjudgment, right?”

"If the empire is put in a disadvantageous situation because of Her Highness Elsa's misjudgment, you shouldn't be able to take responsibility, right?"

"..." After hearing this, Avro could only nod his head, then moved out of the way and let a few people enter the Imperial Court.

As soon as Arthas entered the Imperial Court, he went straight to Elsa's office.

By the way, he also sent two people to the archives on the way.

This posture no longer looks like concern, but direct search.

Even Orson couldn't help but speak to dissuade: "Your Highness, I can understand your concern for Your Highness Elsa, but should you be more restrained in your actions at this moment, otherwise it will be bad for others to let others know. "

Arthas also nodded after hearing this.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Afterwards, Orson did not follow Arthas to the office, but came to the archives instead.

Then, he was stopped by Afro.

After making sure that there was no one around, Afro asked in confusion: "Orson, what's going on?"

You know, she knew about the cooperation between Orson and Elsa, and Elsa also told her that if she was not there, she would listen to Orson.

But now it seems that Orson has betrayed Elsa. How can he let the wolf into the house?

"Don't worry about this." Orson said this with confidence.

"Do you really think you can stop His Highness Arthas?"

"Instead of doing this, it's better to let him in. Anyway, he can't find anything."

Saying this, Orson smiled and walked past Afro and walked into the archives.

Chapter 68: Don't be smart (3K)

In the archives, Orson walked past Arthas's men.
