Except for the cardinal's sister, all the ladies did not come to dinner because they were in a bad mood. This sister was the only one among the women who did not cry just now. She was also the only member of the Colonna family who did not wear black clothes.

It is a blue evening dress.

In the introduction before the start, when the elder Colonna introduced his daughter, he called her Marquise Facchetti, presumably her husband's surname.

There were only four people at the table: Old Colonna, Ladislaus and the Marquise Facchetti, plus Baron Galliani. Ladislaus and Old Colonna sat opposite each other as the chief guest and companion, and the Marquis Facchetti

Madame sat on the side of Ladislaus, and Baron Galliani on the old Colonna side.

Although guards are generally not allowed to sit with their masters, "Guo Guo" is certainly not subject to this restriction. Even if this "Guo Guo" has a bad reputation, strength is strength, and "Guo Guo" is "Guo Guo".

Moreover, the "Guoguo" are not bound by table etiquette. They can eat and drink as much as they want. This is of course because senior warriors generally eat huge amounts of food.

It is said that Archdeacon Florentino once ate half a cow at a dinner party.

The chefs of the Colonna family, who knew in advance that Baron Galliani was coming, were also well prepared. The old Colonnas and Ladislaus each received a portion of drumsticks, three chickens, three legs, and others.

All parts are made according to the taste of Baron Galliani.

With such a huge appetite, it is naturally impossible to look good when eating. No matter how elegant the etiquette is, it can't change the fact that he eats and feeds wildly. Therefore, it is said that even though Emperor Charles V kept inviting him, Constable Florentino never overstepped his bounds.

Eat together.

Of course, other nobles would not be dissatisfied with the status of "protecting the country".

But Baron Galliani seemed particularly strange. He didn't even raise his head, didn't even say a word, and just kept eating.

However, Ladislaus has never had a meal with the "Protector". In the city of Liguria, he is only a second-rate member of the Doria family and has no qualifications to associate with a figure like the "Protector", let alone Liguria.

There is simply no warrior in the Asian Republic who has reached the level of "protecting the country".

Therefore, he only thought that "Guo Guo" might eat like this, so he didn't take it seriously.

So Ladislaus and old Colonna discussed their affairs naturally, without being affected at all.

"This sword looks very old. If I'm not mistaken about the inscription on it, does it mean that this sword was a gift from Emperor Otto the Great to General Colonna more than four hundred years ago?" Ladislaus asked.

A classical long sword on the weapons rack next to the dining table started the opening remarks.

"The Archbishop has a good eye. This is a gift from the founder of the Holy Roman Empire in gratitude to my ancestors for defending the true Pope and persisting until his reinforcements arrived." This kind of weapon placed close to the head of the family must belong to a noble family.

family heirloom.

Once upon a time, the True Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor had their honeymoon.

"Thank you for inviting me to dine in this magnificent building. Your Excellency, the murals inside the Colonna Palace are really impressive. Allow me to presume, especially the image of His Majesty the Dark Sun is really lifelike. It is really a masterpiece, I believe.

It embodies the essence of hundreds of years of history of the Colonna family. How can a family as old as Colonna have such a legacy?" Ladislaus continued the normal process of aristocratic conversation. Generally speaking, he would first praise the family's past glory, and then

You can’t go wrong by complimenting the family’s historic building.

"It would be great if you are satisfied." Old Colonna responded in a very ordinary way.

"It's just that this painting is not the essence or precipitation of hundreds of years of history, but the work of Mr. Leonardo da Vinci ten years ago." Marquise Facchetti's response was a bit strange, Ladislaw

If he didn't do enough homework, he shouldn't be slapped in the face.

"Ahaha, it turns out to be a masterpiece by Mr. Leonardo da Vinci. No wonder, no wonder, I dare say that this painting expresses a little bit of the grace and majesty of His Majesty the Dark Sun." Ladislaus thought that after losing his brother, this

The lady was a bit emotional, and politics must not have emotions, so he didn't get angry at all, but tried to deflect it.

From this point of view, Ladislaus's actions are indeed conveying divine power to the Dark Sun, which is quite suitable for this belief. Unfortunately, Ladislaus's soul has a unique mark since it came to this world.

Loyalty to the nation and the country is the first requirement of a politician. No matter how well he plays secret room politics, he is just a politician who is loyal to self-interest. He carries a belief that is deeper than this world, which is inconsistent with the nature of the dark sun.

So Ladislaus can only be a pan-believer of the Dark Sun at best.

On the other hand, the Marchioness Facchetti did not appreciate this turn of events.

"Leonardo Da Vinci once said that this painting was the most unsatisfactory portrait of Cyric he had ever painted, because the climate at the time was unexpectedly humid, the colors were not well prepared, and the structure was not handled satisfactorily in several places.

Please forgive me, father."

Ladislaus changed his expression slightly. In front of a Cyric archbishop, calling God by his name without using his honorific title was already considered a serious offense.

But Ladislaus was determined to repay Cardinal Colonna's brief but costly friendship.

"When we look at the history of the past today, our descendants regard us as part of history. Mr. Leonardo da Vinci also had his troughs and unsatisfactory works. Isn't this history? It is precisely because there are

Only through imperfect works can we understand what the most outstanding art is. Isn't this the legacy of the Colonna family?" Ladislaus's performance is really a bit beyond his level. This insight into the enlightened affairs of ancient and modern times makes Irritable

The Marquise Facchetti also calmed down for a time.

"What are you talking about? His majesty, Dark Sun, is so majestic and unpredictable that it is already very difficult for a mortal to paint a painting. Mr. Leonardo Da Vinci is just being self-effacing. What do you understand?

." But old Colonna frowned at his daughter's abnormality and reprimanded her.

"Haha, what a majestic spirit?! Unpredictable power?!" Unfortunately, sometimes fathers can make their daughters so rebellious. Marquise Facchetti, who had calmed down just now, suddenly lost her composure after hearing her father's reprimand. She suddenly had a face full of anger.

He stood up redly.

Her father's rebuke aroused great grief and indignation in Marquise Facchetti, and the pain of losing the brother she had grown up with was about to burst out in a terrible way.

Seeing that the blasphemous words were about to burst out from his charming lips, Ladislaus, who was sitting nearest, jumped up desperately and covered the lady's mouth with his hands.

If this lady is sent to the stake for this reason, then the "friendship of the Colonna family" will be completely hopeless. If you ignore it, who knows what will happen in this world with gods, maybe His Majesty the Dark Sun will immediately

The divine power was not only used to severely punish the blasphemers, but an archbishop who had neglected his duties might also be punished.

Anyway, there are tens of millions of Dark Sun believers, and I dare not say that they have infinite power. It is definitely more than enough to blast Ladislaus to pieces a hundred times.

Ladislaus had no choice but to throw away all his aristocratic manners and table manners, and "personally" stopped the blasphemous words from coming out of the beautiful mouth of Marquise Facchetti, but these thin lips were really tempting

Ah, even though this lady must be over thirty years old, her skin is still tight and her lips are as red as blood.

"You are so beautiful, please forgive me for my gaffe." After Ladislaus finished speaking, he even kissed Mrs. Facchetti. Since the servants had left after serving the food, Ladislaus simply said

Use an embarrassing reason to cover up what just happened.

It's always better to be embarrassed than to be afraid.

Old Colonna and Baron Galliani, who had looked equally shocked just now, both laughed in unison with "embarrassment and understanding".

The lady, who realized her dangerous state just now, was pale and speechless.

He didn't react at all to Ladislaus's "indecent assault", he was just afraid of the dangerous situation he had just found himself in.

"This is really outrageous, Your Excellency Ladislaus. Even though my daughter is single now, you can't do this, haha." It was old Colonna who came to the rescue in time, "Susan, please step aside, we have to talk.

Let’s get down to business, I’ll talk to Lord Ladislaus later.”

After the Marquise Facchetti left with difficulty because of fear, Old Colonna was no longer as cordial as before, but immediately bowed to the extreme and said to Ladislaus: "Archbishop, please believe that your kindness is

I will always remember it in my heart and never forget it.”

Ladislaus did not change his mind this time but asked very seriously: "Your Excellency, you must discipline your daughter well. Any offense against Dark Sun will not only make the offender's soul sink forever, but also her family."

He will definitely be implicated."

"Archbishop Rong, my son-in-law died in Milan a few months ago. Although my son-in-law believes in His Majesty Siric, their property was confiscated by the French. This time, there are rumors in the outside world that my

The eldest son was accidentally killed by the Bishop of Siena because of the internal struggle within the Dark Sun Church, so she couldn't control herself. She didn't cry just now because she had a stronger personality, but in fact they had the best relationship between siblings and refused to wear black.

The mourning dress is also because she has the highest unrealistic hope, and she also believes in Istizia, the god of the water element. She has always been more emotional in character. She definitely did not mean to offend His Majesty the Dark Sun and the Archbishop." Old Cologne.

Na explained the reasons clearly.

Ladislaus looked at Baron Galliani, who nodded slightly in embarrassment. It turned out that he knew Marquis Facchetti. No wonder he just ate without talking. It turned out that he met the widow of his dead colleague.
