It turned out that at the impromptu initiative of His Majesty the Fearless King, the Seine City Hall had temporarily organized a grand entrance ceremony for this victory; therefore, on the city walls and buildings, paper-cut petals were swayed by women of all colors. , scattered in the wind on the soldiers of this army.
After Polis patiently completed the parade that covered half of the city streets and completed the military parade in front of the palace, he was about to change into a brand-new military uniform sweat-stained, but the attendants from the palace stood in front of him again, and couldn't help but say Have someone wash him and put him into formal clothes.
What followed was a revolving door of palace banquets and royal balls. Lafontaine, the current royal advisor and minister of the seal, took the trouble to introduce the royal family members, court ministers, royal attendants, and even the ministers of the royal council, noble honors and honors. Members of the church and church leaders.
Therefore, this banquet that lasted for many days did not end until late at night. It was already afternoon when Polis woke up in a strange environment.
But Polis just felt like he had a splitting headache and something was missing from his memory.
Therefore, even Polis, who had maintained relationships with several lovers at the same time in his early years, was somewhat unable to withstand this absurd scene; and amidst the vague laughter around the corner room; a shirtless man was picking up clothes, Follow the hat; escape from the terrace along the edge of the wall.
Therefore, when Polis found the guards and carriage left at the back door and headed back to the small building where he lived with Joseph, he was not even embarrassed to enter from the front; instead, he took a detour to the back alley where the building was located. This is also the shortcut he created for his private tryst with Joseph.
However, when he got here, Polis suddenly stopped downstairs. Because he really saw that at the window sill where Joseph's private bedroom was, a man's pale upper body flashed past and undulated vaguely. At this moment, Polis's heart felt like it was struck by lightning.
Although, he has long been aware of and accustomed to the open/chaotic relationships prevalent in the capital region, and even the highly criticized corrupt style after marriage between men and women of upper-class nobles. Even he is a potential beneficiary, but it is still difficult to accept the moment when the matter comes.
Polis can accept and appreciate that the other party is older than him, and he can also accept Joseph's past as a social butterfly. After all, in those turbulent years, a woman who lost her husband and family support; in order to maintain basic dignity and survive, I don’t know what price to pay.
But he was unable to forgive generously. Even after he personally made the sacred marriage agreement, Joseph was still secretly involved with someone in the past. Polis was not even in the mood to question the other party or pursue the identity of the man who appeared in the dormitory.
At this moment, he just wanted to stay away from this place, the small building that once brought him peace of mind and comfort; as well as some things that were completely tainted and destroyed. Return to the military camp as quickly as possible, and then use heavy work and drills to temporarily forget all this.
However, after last night's exhausting erotic trip and this heartbreaking accident, at this moment, Polis felt that his mind was filled with chaos and sadness, when there seemed to be nothing important. Things are forgotten, but completely forgotten.
Just after Polis finally stepped onto the carriage and quietly walked away from the back alley. On the rooftop opposite, Mrs. Milady, who had met him several times before, also put down the small and exquisite telescope in her hand, looked at a respectful aristocratic woman beside her and said with a soft smile:
"You arranged it very well and let me watch a quite wonderful short play." "You see, the so-called sweetness of love, in this turbulent era, is like the weak flowers watered in the greenhouse, which cannot stand at all. It only takes a little misunderstanding and suspicion to disintegrate."
"Next, it's your turn to show up in time." Then, she raised the gilded folding fan with incense flowers, gently covered her increasingly gorgeous pink and white face and said, "In order to make him feel enough, Happiness and catharsis must also make his heart feel empty, making him want more and more but not get it."
"We must gently encourage and tolerate him, give him hope and confidence again, and then let him be completely disappointed and decadent at the right opportunity, and transfer his integrity, justice, morality and conscience
The good side of me is being wiped away bit by bit... What is left in the end is what I need."
"In this way, this lovely and talented young man will become the best toy in the face of setbacks, allowing me to gain more lasting happiness; and also giving the dynasty a weapon full of anger, but also sensible enough! Just like his miserable ancestor."
"Madam?" A female companion nearby couldn't help but asked with a humble smile, "This young regiment leader is really lucky enough to be treated so seriously by you." Arrange and treat me with care!"
"Because he is an old friend of mine, and he can bring me endless fun." Mrs. Milady said with an unabashed smile: "I just happened to know something, that is, the man who has returned to Orleans is now The leader of the rebels also used the surname de Baz."
"So, as I investigated further, this matter became even more interesting. The dragon witch among the rebels is now active as Boris; but the real Boris can only use a pseudonym. Bobna works for the dynasty. Destiny is so interesting and wonderful."
Hundreds of miles away, in the west of the kingdom, there is the Loire Region (the Grand Crown Territory) and the provinces of Upper and Lower Normandy, as well as the adjacent County of Sarthe. Major Rafael, nicknamed one of the courage/beating trio, also led a mixed cavalry regiment in a complicated mood.
Because this is also the hometown he wants to stay away from and escape from. There is the manor of his adoptive father, the old knight, who raised him from childhood, and the castle of his biological father, the Marquis de Liege, where he spent his youth. Therefore, he has both the melancholy and melancholy of being in a hometown, and the elation of returning home in splendid clothes.
It's just that after Rafael walked all the way, he couldn't help but feel vague worries and inexplicable expectations; because wherever the army passed, almost everything he saw was desolate and dilapidated. Even the villages and towns on both sides of the road are largely abandoned and vacant.
And inside and outside the city protected by the city wall, it is crowded with fleeing people in ragged clothes; almost every day, corpses of people who died of starvation, freezing, disease or other causes are sent out of the city in carloads; You can even see beggars with their bodies exposed on the streets.
Because of the changes in the celestial sphere that have led to a series of disasters and abnormal events, as well as a large number of rural and urban population losses and fleeing, the agricultural harvests in the northwest provinces of the kingdom are almost over. Severe famine would follow, as well as an outbreak of plague in the overpopulated cities.
Therefore, as the Thiago Corps marched on the Western Front, it almost never encountered decent large-scale battles; instead, it mostly suppressed bandits and gathered refugees. The dry food products transported by water from the Toulouse region in the south became the most powerful weapon at this time.
Attracted by truck after truck and boat after boat of food products, the survivors hiding in the mountains and ruins of villages and towns gathered under the flag of the Free Army like a colony of ants attracted. ; Rebuilt settlements and fortresses with protective walls.
It also brought the social civilization and ruling order reshaped by the Free Army back to these forced deserted lands; and the citizens and fleeing people in the cities were faced with the contradictions and conflicts caused by the shortage of food, the scarcity of materials, and the rising prices. The constant conflicts have been greatly alleviated.
But in stark contrast, there are increasingly active alien species and frequent abnormal events that continue to encroach on and encroach on human activity areas. It has also turned many manors, pastures, orchards, and fields into ruins and wilderness with overgrown weeds; they need to be reclaimed and cultivated.
Therefore, immigrants from densely populated areas in the south, under the promise of land reclamation, gathered in groups along the rivers and roads with their families, rebuilt wherever the Free Army passed, and carried out daily military management and Model farms come one after another for the collective working model.
The mixed cavalry regiment led by Rafael was the vanguard for all this. Therefore, this team has also been strengthened as much as possible. Not only does it have fully equipped
Five full cavalry companies, accompanied by the marching cavalry artillery brigade; two super-staffed baggage/auxiliary riding companies.
It is even equipped with a military police squadron to enforce military discipline on the battlefield; two squads of special attack knights and a special hunter squad for aliens and abnormal situations; a pious/monk squad responsible for preaching and appeasing the people; therefore, representatives from the three special companies can form a temporary trial court.
Finally, there are two additional redemption companies recruited within the province. The responsibilities of these two redemption companies, in addition to daily battles, are also responsible for the dirty and tiring work of liquidating and inspecting the old nobles/royal parties, and their related forces and groups.
Therefore, Rafael is worried that he may not be able to see the familiar people and things in his hometown. But he also looked forward to bringing his army to appear in front of the Marquis of the Sun, who always spoke without pretense and emphasized the superiority and inferiority of the class; the biological father who always regarded himself as a tool reacted.
