As we all know, the chief minister/prime minister of the new dynasty has always had two faces, day and night. One is full of energy during the day, and even has a strict attitude like a workaholic; the other is bohemian in private life at night, with almost no restraint of playfulness and passion.
No matter how many lovers he has in private, and there is always no shortage of new partners, these women who are vying to throw themselves into his arms, in addition to getting some monetary gains and compensation from him, and a little convenience, There is no way to get more benefits.
Although there are some people who claim to have obtained government positions, annuities, and even knighthood through his connections, they are basically professionals with more or less special talents or rich experience, and they rarely have serious problems. Examples of dereliction of duty, or mediocre incompetence.
Therefore, even in such a public place where everyone is watching, there is no shortage of people around him every minute. They come to visit with various demands and purposes, or simply to build relationships and become familiar faces. But most of them were filtered out by his personal secretary and attendants.
In the end, only a handful of people were allowed to enter his box. For example, there is a graceful lady in front of her, wearing a low-cut black satin dress, showing off a large area of white and pink body, but wearing a contrasting black veil.
Although, only her snow-white and fragrant chin can be seen under the veil, which contrasts well with the plump and mature hemispheres; coupled with a small mole at the corner of her mouth, although there is no unnecessary heavy makeup, it has a strange and charming charm. However, Feius was astonished as if there was no one around him:
"Look who this is? From the truth correction department under the Holy See, the most outstanding spy, Ms. Carla Rona, a famous flower in Romagna; didn't I hear that you are married to the Governor of Tuscany? Why are you taking the initiative? By showing up in public, are you planning to renew your relationship with me?"
"..." The woman in the black dress, whose voice was hoarse but full of magnetism, faintly raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly: "It turns out that the heir is still resenting me! At the beginning, I was just under the glory of the Holy See, unable to control myself. She was just a little woman; now she is even more of a pitiful and helpless frost woman."
"Resentment? You actually think of this kind of thing." Fayous, stroking his neat and straight mustache, laughed out loud in the woman's arms: "Even if I had it, it doesn't matter now. There is no need to call me Sijun, I have long been destined to die in the eyes of that young lion."
"Or, you can also try and use the Romans' most effective poison and special jewelry to take my life on the spot?" Feius patted him casually again, and the woman next to him tensed up because of the exclamation. The delicate body that got up: took advantage of the situation to comfort them and let them exit the box one after another.
"You are joking. This is not my mission, and I have never received similar instructions." The woman in the black skirt still calmly said softly: "I was only driven here by others, and through private relationships, I interacted with you The Prime Minister of the Kingdom is just making some informal communications."
"Carolona, are you wasting my patience and time?" After sending away the lovers, Faius lay even more loose and invisible on the sofa, saying without even looking at her: "You are still laughing at me. IQ? We are all enemies of the universal church under the order of excommunication."
"This is the reason why I came to the Kingdom privately!" Carolina replied meaningfully: "As we all know, almost all decisions originating from the Holy See are not only the decisions of the Council of Cardinals, but also the joint will of the Senate and Caesar. ; It is even more uniformly followed by the empire lords.”
"So, the Holy See actually has other ideas? However, this is no longer important." Faius suddenly sneered: "The Great Excommunication Order of Rome certainly has an impact on the kingdom, but it is just an impact; This is also an important opportunity for us.”
"It is just an opportunity to identify potential enemies, staunch supporters, or neutral elements that can be won over. Let God's things be given to God, and Caesar's things should be given to Caesar; the universal church of the kingdom will no longer be, nor will it be complete. It should not be manipulated or influenced by foreign forces."
"This is not a negotiation, but a face-to-face ultimatum. Just like what our Majesty said: anything you can't get on the battlefield, don't try to get it through the negotiation table; since the kingdom has defeated many enemies , certainly to beat them more times.”
"So, please go back and tell the Holy See behind you that my king has specially selected an abandoned castle for repairs outside Avignon. He is waiting to invite the Holy See to stay there, and he will discuss the Holy See every day. What about the teachings of God, being illuminated and edified by the glory of God?”
"Of course, if you are still interested in continuing our relationship, Carolina, I wouldn't mind communicating about our growth and changes after so many years." Having said this, Faius showed his wanton smile again: " In the place and method designated by me, as well as the props..."
"Are you humiliating me?" Carolina finally found it difficult to maintain her initial calmness, and her beautiful body wrapped in a black skirt seemed to be trembling with anger: "Or is it for revenge that I gave up on you? ? It seems that I really overestimated your ambition..."
"I'm not humiliating you! I'm just stating an obvious fact." Fayous stroked his beard frivolously and said: "What's more, now you are just a humble messenger, and you are not worthy of my revenge. Otherwise, I I will directly order you to be arrested as a spy!"
"Looking at the last bit of acquaintance in the past, please leave the kingdom as quickly as possible; you are just an emissary, not a formal diplomatic representative; legally and traditionally, you are not subject to any negotiation treaties with hostile countries, and Conventional protection during the war..."
When Carolina, who was the emissary of the Holy See, left, Faius did not call back the lovers, but sat back on the sofa again. Then, a man wearing a soft feather hat and a narrow-sleeved tight-fitting patterned pullover was introduced and whispered: "May the Lord bless you, Your Highness."
"Zenus, thank you for providing the inside information. I will give you appropriate remuneration and rewards. If you want to stay in the kingdom, I can also arrange it." Feius spread his hands lightly and said: "At least I still have a little bit of privilege in this country."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but..." The visitor named Zenus lowered his head and said respectfully: "As the clan members and survivors left behind by the late Prince, we have been marginalized and persecuted in the empire. My compatriots are also longing for your encouragement and guidance..."
"Forget it about encouragement and guidance." Feyous said unequivocally: "After all, I have been away from the empire for too long, and I have a serious lack of understanding of the empire's situation. How can I be qualified to be your leader? What's more, I I still have my own career, so don’t say this again.”
"Do you really doubt our determination and will to resist Caesar's tyranny?" Zenus said anxiously: "We have a large number of supporters between Aruzo and Morisse, and Caesar's support for the northern princes The perverse behavior has made the city-states in the south even more uneasy."
"Then what?" Feyous just glanced at him lightly: "My father probably thought the same way when he was regent, and he was also directly in charge of three royal territories. The commanders and deputies of several provincial legions were all his. but Caesar easily defeated and executed him."
"Now, apart from my mother who was ordered to remarry, I am the only survivor left in the Leliuliang clan. Fortunately, I met a great lord here who is worthy of following. Your Majesty is not only powerful enough to defeat the empire invasion, and also provided refuge from Caesar’s threats.”
"After all, equal trust and loyalty are the most valuable things in the world." Feyous shook his head slightly and said: "Of course, I don't blame you; at least I was not worthy of you back then. Pay corresponding loyalty. Therefore, there is no need to change the status quo."
"To be honest, under the leadership of my father, you failed to succeed against the young Caesar a few years ago. Why do you think that now that the gap in the power of the empire is getting wider and wider, you will succeed instead? Who is this? Where does it give you the confidence and confidence?"
And when the disappointed old Zenus also left. A maid walked out of the box again, quietly came to Fayous, and kneaded her behind him in a familiar way. After a while, Feyous said to himself: "Zelaya, do you want to return to the empire if you have the chance?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but now I want to stay by your side even more." The maid named Selaya responded softly: "Just like the oath I made when I first met you; as long as you are here This place is my paradise and home..."
"In that case, let's get married!" Faius suddenly held her hand and said, "This can also cut off other people's random thoughts; although I can't guarantee that I will only stay with one woman for the rest of my life, I will try my best to ensure that my eldest son , it must come from you."
At this time, a neat opening salute sounded outside, but it was "Burana" as the military anthem of the Free Army. Even the soldiers present sang along:
“O destiny, as changeable as the moon, waxing and waning;
A hateful life interweaves misery and happiness;
Both poor and humble, rich and noble, melt and perish like ice and snow.
The terrible and empty wheel of fortune..."
Amidst the singing, Jiang Tian stepped into the theater under the guidance of the knights in costumes holding guns and raising halberds, and received salutes from the entire hall. However, when he looked at the box where Feyous was sitting, he was a little surprised to see the vague entry labeled: "Phantom of the Purple Chamber."
