When Nok saw the woman outside the door, he was very surprised.
"Why are you! How did you find this place?"
Nok's words put frost on Mrs. Mantilati's face.
"What? Are you disappointed to see it's me?"
Knock didn't expect that his words would make Mrs. Mantilati unhappy.
He quickly explained: "No, no, no, how could I be disappointed? It's too late for me to be happy.
But how did you find it here? I also plan to wait until I finish my work before looking for you. "
Mrs. Mantilati did not fully believe Knock's words.
She said resentfully: "Is it true? A person who doesn't even dare to tell me his real name will be happy to see me?"
Nok looked at Mrs. Mantilati a little embarrassed, and then looked at the empty street.
Although there were few people on the streets, Notre Dame was the focus today.
He and Mrs. Mantilati stood outside the gate talking.
It has a somewhat negative impact.
In case someone sees it, make up some rumors. That's trouble.
"If you have anything to say, come in first." Nock invited.
"Whatever you come in, I'm just here to ask for an answer and then leave."
The angry Mrs. Manslady did not cooperate at all and caused an awkward situation.
Nok had a headache when he saw this, but he couldn't be rough with Mrs. Mandilati.
I could only persuade him in a low and friendly voice: "My dear, this is not the place to talk. If you believe me, just come in with me and I will give you a perfect explanation."
A "Dear" made Mrs. Mantilati feel much better.
She looked at the thoughtful face in front of her. And a little flash of anxiety on the man's face.
In the end, he relented and followed Knock into the gate of Notre Dame.
Nok led Mrs. Mantilati quickly through the corridor in the front yard and came to the remote tower on the right side of the holy courtyard.
Locke knew that the servants of Notre Dame should be cleaning the dormitory area in the backyard at this time.
Prepare for the stay of one hundred knights.
The management should go to Leo to show their value.
Seek opportunities to stay.
Therefore, the surrounding towers should be places where no one can approach.
Nok wanted to whisper something to Mrs. Mandirati.
Naturally, we found this remote place.
Mrs. Mantilati watched as Nok brought her to such a remote place.
I couldn't help but feel a little cold in my heart.
She wondered if Nok was going to take her to a remote place to kill her and silence her.
Just when she was suspicious, Nok dragged her into the tower and closed the door.
"What do you want to do!"
Mrs. Mantilati was startled and almost took action.
But she still wanted to see what Nok was up to.
If he really wanted to kill her and silence her, she would risk being hunted down by the church.
Kill Nok and escape.
Unexpectedly, the imagined danger did not come.
Instead, another kind of danger to women is coming.
The question in her mouth was blocked by Nok's passionate kiss.
Before she could recover, a slippery mollusk penetrated into her mouth.
Desperately trying to steal the sweetness from her mouth.
"Hmm~"
Mrs. Mantilati was made weak by Nok's passionate kiss.
There is no trace of the fierceness that he wanted to question Nok before!
Nok directly picked up Mantilati who was limp in his arms and walked up the stairs of the tower.
I didn’t know how many steps I climbed until I finally saw an empty room on the top floor.
What surprised Nok even more was that there was a wooden bed in the room.
There was no furniture or bed, and it was obviously an empty room that no one was living in.
Think about it, Notre Dame occupies such a large area.
The multi-person dormitory area in the backyard alone is enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.
Not to mention there is a servants' area and a small building where the leaders live.
Although there is not a small building for each person, there is still a room or even one floor for each person.
Who will come to live in the tower.
These towers were used to imprison clergy who made mistakes.
Like a cracked nun or a priest.
Nok laid Mantilati down on the wooden bed and pressed on top of him.
"Jack, love me!"
Mrs. Mantilati shouted hurriedly and urgently, but what she shouted was Nok's former pseudonym.
When Nok saw this, he didn't care so much anymore. The last time he ate meat,
This was all several months ago.
So, the gold-rimmed divine robe was thrown to the ground, and then a lady's skirt was covered on it.
Then there are little cute pieces,
Then, a low but high-pitched symphony sounded in the room on the top of the tower...
The wind stopped and the rain stopped.
Nock and Mrs. Mantilati embraced each other frankly on the wooden bed.
Talking softly.
Mainly, it was Nok who was talking, and Mrs. Mantilati leaned in Nok's arms to listen to his explanation.
"I really didn't mean to hide it from you. You should also know my identity.
My name is Knock Lane, and I am currently the Bishop of Reims Cathedral.
At that time, I relied on buying Reims Cathedral to force the church to make me a bishop.
The only people around me are Leo and his wife, the two you saw last time.
But it happened that at that time, I found out the whereabouts of my lost sister.
That is the one who was rescued from the auction house last time.
In order to prevent others from knowing about her relationship with me and thereby being targeted by those who are targeting me,
I had to use a fake name and disguise my identity to participate in the auction.
But I still underestimated the depth of the water in Parli and almost capsized in the ditch.
Fortunately, I have a dear friend who is willing to help me with all his strength, but I didn’t want to hurt you at that time.
That's why he concealed his identity.
I originally planned to contact you after I established a firm foothold at Reims Cathedral.
Unexpectedly, when the messenger from the Holy Court came, he was injured in the royal city.
As a result, the people sent by the Holy Court to catch the murderer,
They actually used me and that Bishop Richelieu as bait,
Urging me to go to the Holy Court to report my duties.
Unexpectedly, he was intercepted and killed on the way.
Fortunately, I was lucky, and the customer service was difficult all the way, so I finally arrived at the Holy Court.
Unexpectedly, Richelieu, whom I saved with my life, would betray me when he arrived at the Holy Court.
If it weren't for my teacher and the nun who adopted me, I would have made great contributions to the Holy Court.
The previous pope took credit for their work and compensated me, thus strengthening my momentum.
I simply didn't have the reputation I have now.
I’m not afraid to tell you that Richelieu’s position as Cardinal was already eliminated by me.
As a result, the current Pope was unhappy with me and deliberately took advantage of me to accept the church’s baptism ceremony.
He accepted Richelieu as Cardinal and sent a dragon knight to escort him back to France.
How could I, a rootless bishop like a duckweed, dare to go against the Pope?
But I am not willing to do so. I think that instead of wasting three years studying in the Holy Court,
Finally he was sent back to be a little priest.
It's better to come back as soon as possible and be the bishop of my Reims cathedral.
Once I gain a foothold, I may not be able to fight with Richelieu.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally met an important person in the Holy Court.
That person directly helped me, saying that our lineage held the last monastery in the Lionheart Kingdom.
Our Lady’s Monastery should be under our control.
So, I became the steward of Notre Dame.
Today I am taking the opportunity to suppress Richelieu and tell the aristocratic circle in Paris that I, Nock Lane, am not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, I was very tired all the way.
In order to catch up with the coronation ceremony of King Louis, I even set off immediately within two hours of arriving in Reims.
Came to the royal city.
So, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's that I didn't have the chance to confess my identity to you.
Originally, I planned to finish solving the matter here tonight, and I would go to Eighth Street to find you.
But you don’t know that my servants and management are all spies arranged by the Paris nobles.
I want to replace these people, but I don’t have that many manpower at the moment.
I plan to come back and figure out a solution after meeting you and explaining to you.
Go to the slave market and buy a group of slaves to replace the servants here. "
Nock's explanation actually has many loopholes.
But for Mrs. Mantilati, it was enough.
What she cares about is whether Nok deliberately deceived her feelings.
As for the rest, it really doesn't matter.
Any power or position is nothing to her.
However, she was not happy to hear that her lover was being bullied.
"Dear Jack..."
As soon as Mrs. Mantilati spoke, she was interrupted by Nok.
"It's Nook, Nook Lane, darling."
Nok reminded, not forgetting to kiss the other person's forehead.
Mrs. Mantilati shrank her head shyly and said softly: "Dear,
That Richelieu dared to betray you, I will definitely make him look good.
Don't worry, when I get back, I'll find someone to kill him! "
Nok was shocked and quickly stopped him: "Don't do this! Don't worry about this!"
Mrs. Mantilati was unhappy: "Why, he bullied my man, and I can't avenge you?
Do you dislike me for being nosy? "
Nok looked at the serious Mrs. Mantilati, his heart couldn't help but feel soft, and he was extremely moved.
He hugged the woman he once despised tightly and explained in a low voice: "Fool.
How could I dislike you. You did your best for me, I don't know how touched I am.
However, you can't be impulsive. No matter what you say, Richelieu is still a cardinal of the church.
He is an important member of the pastoral side of the church.
If he died unexpectedly, the whole continent would be shocked.
The church will definitely do whatever it takes to investigate the cause of his death and catch his murderer.
I don't want you to put yourself in danger for this.
It's just Richelieu. If it weren't for my lack of qualifications, this cardinal wouldn't be able to take his turn.
Although he is now a cardinal, his foundation is not stable.
Today I suppressed his prestige again and alienated his relationship with the king.
If he wants to establish a foothold in Paris and master the large and small churches in Paris, it will definitely take a lot of time.
But I can take advantage of this time to take control of the large and small churches in Champagne.
In addition, I have the Notre Dame Cathedral in my hands in Wangcheng. I can use the resources in Wangcheng to help me train my subordinates.
By the time he finds out, I will already be beyond his control.
As the Bishop of Reims Cathedral, I am controlled by him. But as the director of Notre Dame,
It is also a separate institution, responsible only to the Holy Court and the Pope.
Therefore, even if he wants to cause trouble for me, it will not be that easy.
On the contrary, I want to make trouble for him, and there are plenty of opportunities.
So, don't be impulsive.
You are the first woman who is truly willing to treat me well, and you are also the only woman who is sincerely treating me.
If it weren't for my status that prevents me from getting married, I really want to marry you home.
So, promise me, protect yourself and don't take risks for me. "
Nock's half-truthful exhortations and sweet words coaxed Mrs. Mantilati into confusion.
She looked at Nok innocently and asked, "Do you really care about me that much?"
Nok nodded and said: "Although this may not be fair to you, I still want to ask.
My dear, although I cannot marry you, are you willing to be my lifelong lover and bear children for me? "
Nok's words were like thunder, shocking Mrs. Mantilati.
She looked at Nok with excitement and fear, not knowing how to answer Nok.
She was afraid that Nok was lying to her, and she was worried that Nok was telling the truth.
Although she was hopelessly in love with Nok, she also knew clearly that
His own identity and Nok's identity are hostile.
Once exposed, it would be absolute disaster for Nok.
Regardless of whether Nok can accept it or not, the church will definitely kill them both at all costs.
Not to mention, if Nok cannot accept her identity, once her identity is exposed,
Then the two of them must face each other with swords until death.
But when she looked at Nok, who looked serious at this time, her heart became wild and unsatisfactory.
She wanted to be with this man, even if it meant betraying the Witch Union!
But she knew this was unrealistic.
Unless the man could accept her identity as a witch, but was that possible?
Witches and priests have always been unwilling to die.
How could she bet that Knock was the exception.
But she couldn't keep her away from Nok.
This man was like poison, making her drink it willingly.
Otherwise, she would not have chased the man to the border of the Papal States alone after learning that he was a bishop.
He even attacked the demigod Dracula in a sneak attack to get information about him!
You know, with her strength, if Dracula fights her, she will definitely die!
But she just did it!
Drinking poison to quench thirst, she must be the one talking about it!
"Noak, your question is a bit sudden. I...I'm not prepared."
Mrs. Mantilati was very nervous and looked at Nok worriedly, but still did not directly reply to Nok's question.
Nok looked at Mrs. Mantilati who was a little flustered, and knew that his question just now was a bit abrupt.
"It's okay, I was the one who was abrupt. Although we have this kind of relationship now.
But what right do I have to ask you not to marry?
It's my fault. You should have your own happiness, not hide it for people like me.
I'm too selfish, I'm sorry. "
Nok's words immediately panicked Mrs. Mantilati.
"No! Nok! You misunderstood, I'm not good enough!
Yes...I'm not worthy of you...I...before I met you,
It’s just… it’s dirty…”
Mrs. Mantilati told the "truth" with a look of despair, although it was not the real truth.
But this "truth" is enough to defeat most men.
After hearing this, Nok was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Let me ask you, after we met,
You have been with other men..."
Before Nok could finish speaking, Mrs. Mantilati interrupted Nok's question.
"No! Absolutely not! Ever since I met you, you are the only one in my heart. You are the only one I miss day and night!"
"I forgot to write the chapter name. Please fill it in. It won't affect reading."
