The man's hands were trembling, and he signed his name on the piece of paper very nervously, and then sat down next to him.
He gasped a few times, but still felt a little uneasy. He picked up the wine bottle next to him and took a few gulps before slowly calming down.
After he calmed down, he found something blinding his eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and strangely saw wet stains all over his hands.
Only then did he realize that a dense layer of sweat had oozed out on his forehead, so he quickly picked up the sleeve of his robe and wiped it on his forehead, wiping away all the sweat.
Although he was in his position, it was impossible to have access to many secrets among high-level officials. But he did know that the Count of Lorraine, whose family crest was represented by the flower of 'justice and fairness' - 'Longya grass'.
Although this man is young, he is only from a small nobleman in the countryside.
Young people like that were always under his control in the diocese under his rule. Moreover, no matter how brave and aggressive those young people were outside, they were always respectful and respectful in front of him and did not dare to cross the line in the slightest.
But it does not mean that the Count of Lorraine is the same.
Although the earl was originally just an unknown little nobleman from the countryside, he suddenly appeared like a comet. In just two or three years, he had become someone who could only be looked up to.
After this battle, the title of 'Flying Eagle God of War' has resounded throughout the land.
When mentioning his name, everyone already knows it. But now he wants to shoot a cold arrow in his back.
This kind of pressure is not unbearable~!
Not only did that guy have outstanding military exploits, he was also a veteran in sap and black brick shooting.
I think back then, it was said that little Despi, the son of Almohad's important imperial minister, offended that guy by spitting in front of him. As a result, he lost his temper and gave the guy a hard shave.
He was thrown into a dark prison and sentenced to fifty years in prison.
Later, when Old Despey heard the news, he took his 70,000-strong younger brother to have tea with him to talk about numbers and conduct friendly negotiations.
However, he caused all the 70,000 royal elites of the Almohad Empire to die overnight. (Lorraine said: "What a huge injustice~! How many times have I told you, I really didn't do that thing.
.Only that old pervert Lester could do such a cruel thing~!)
In the pursuit battle at Jingshui Lake, the Imperial Royal Fleet was even chased and killed without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
The Almohad Royal Navy, which once spanned the seven seas, the Royal Navy with countless Cui Wei battleships, the extremely powerful Royal Navy, finally returned home in pieces.
The Archmage of the Almohad Court, what kind of person is he? But after being captured by him, he was tortured to the point of death.
The Archmage usually seems fine, but as soon as anyone mentions the words "Maple Leaf Danlin" in his ear, he will immediately go insane.
But that Earl of Longyacao and that Lorraine still refused to give up. Later, he led the Maple Army to attack Almohad. After capturing the important minister of the empire, Old Despi, he tortured him to death.
It is said that the old Despey's soul could not rest in peace because of the cruelty of his methods.
At the place where he died, to this day, old Despey's ghost can still be heard screaming throughout the night every night, which can be heard for miles.
His Majesty the Emperor of Almohad was also captured by Lorraine. Although he was not executed in cold blood on the spot, he was imprisoned in a mysterious place, isolated from the world, and lived a prison life that was worse than death.
While the Maple Army was stationed in Almohad, he used all kinds of methods to extract countless treasures from the Almohad nobles.
The sky is three feet high.
Even Her Majesty Queen Isabella, who turned the tide, had to sell her jewelry to cope with his shameless raids.
Even the Prime Minister of the Ruman Empire, Cardinal Russell, had offended him for some reason. Although he has no way to take revenge for the time being, that gangster is even more wicked~!,
He also wrote countless classic scripts, in which all the bad guys have a common name: Russell~!
As long as a Russell appears in the story, no matter which race he is: human, orc, goblin, wild elf, hell demon, pig-headed man. You don't even need to look at it, you will know immediately that he is a bad guy.
~!
This method is more shameless than those methods of torturing people. Because torture only causes pain for a period of time, but this method makes people infamy for thousands of years~!
That Count of Lorraine,
That terrible Count of Lorraine,
That bad Count of Lorraine with sores on his head and pus on his feet.
Even though people hate him now, they don't dare to mention his name when cursing him. They are afraid that he will have telepathy, and then bring people to kill him, and will capture him and torture him to a life worse than death.
Looking at his appearance, Fordo couldn't help but smile with disdain and said, "My friend, this is not like the high-spirited college student I was back then, who took the initiative to ask the Holy See to preach in the barbaric pagan areas."
The man snorted coldly and said: "Bullshit, you think I don't want to be like a scumbag like you, find a wealthy parish, and then talk about life and ideals with those idle and boring aristocratic ladies all day long?
I know it very well. Unlike guys like you, I have a backing, a background, and a good father. I can arrange a good and comfortable future for you.
The only person I can rely on is myself. If I had not written a letter and asked for a job, waiting for the Vatican to assign me, I would have to squat in a corner and wash dishes for the rest of my life. If I did well, thirty or fifty years later, I would be in
A certain small diocese serves as the bishop of a community.
If you search harder, you might be able to build yourself a small church before you die."
Fordo was silent for a moment.
He knew in his heart that what that person said was right. There was no need to look for any special cases. As far as he knew, among the classmates who graduated with them, many people...well...most of them were living like this now.
days.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had a big or small backing, and then he got close to the lady. He followed a good adult and worked hard for so many years.
Years, this is considered a small achievement.
Many other students are still below the poverty line and struggling to make ends meet. They can only have a meal of ham and eggs on Father's Day.
Seeing that he stopped talking, the man immediately picked up the wine bottle, took another sip, and continued: "You are just a kid who has a good father. You can climb so fast in these years. But don't forget,
This only happened in the past ten years. Before that, there were few people who graduated with us who could compare to me."
After speaking, those narrow eyes narrowed, and a cunning and complacent light could be seen flashing through the slits.
When Fordo saw his appearance, he couldn't help but smack his tongue quietly. Although his current position was much higher than that man's, he suddenly realized that even after so many years, even though he was in the Holy See,
I have seen a lot, but I am still not as smart as the other person.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the other party cautiously and decided in his heart that even after this matter was successfully concluded and the man was transferred to other dioceses, he would secretly speak ill of him to the Holy See, lest the other party would get the opportunity to use it.
Out of wisdom, he climbed to his own head.
The man had been holding the bottle and sipping the bottle of 801 red wine from Duchamp Manor in Idolia City. He felt something strange in Fordo's eyes, so he removed the bottle and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
The man stared at his face closely. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Fordo, you've always been like this."
Fordo thought that the other party had seen through his thoughts, and his heart beat rapidly. He forced a smile and said, "Me? How am I doing?"
The man shook the wine bottle in his hand and said: "How are you? You've always been stingy. I'm not telling you. When will you change your personality of picking your butt and then sucking your fingers and pointing? Isn't it just a bottle of red wine?
?As for being so nervous, you are a cheapskate~!”
As he spoke, he raised his neck, and under Fordo's surprised eyes, poured all the red wine into his stomach, and then took two more sips without finishing it, until he was sure that there was no more wine in the bottle, then he poured the red wine into his stomach.
He threw the wine bottle behind him and said in a grand manner: "Bring me another bottle. This wine is very sweet. It's really good."
Fordo couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had his past personality, let alone wine, he would have chased people away with a big stick. But now he has to take advantage of the other party. It's not worth ruining a bottle of wine.
relationship.
So, he stood up, went to a nearby cupboard, opened the cupboard door, looked at the bottles of wine inside, hesitated, reached out and took out the cheapest bottle, then turned around and handed it over
He went over and sighed: "I only have this bottle of good wine left, so you can drink it sparingly."
The man sneered, took the bottle, bit off the cork very roughly, and drank it again.
After he drank a lot, he saw from the corner of his eye that Fordo put the document on the table nonchalantly. He couldn't help but be startled and said: "By the way, what are you going to do about this matter?"
Do?"
Fordo smiled and pointed at the documents on the table and said: "Do you still need to ask? Of course, we should report it to the Holy See and ask them to send heavy personnel, including the Paladins and Arbitrators of the Knights of the Temple, to capture that man.
Woman, take her back to the Holy See. For such a serious crime, what awaits her will be the most severe trial of the Inquisition~!
With the Holy Knight and the Arbitrator coming forward, and His Majesty the Pope's holy words, even the Supreme Emperor of the Empire has to weigh it.
When the time comes, no matter how powerful that person is, will he possibly fall out with us over a woman? How dare he fall out with us? "
The district bishop immediately sat up straight and said, "This...isn't this appropriate?"
Fordo smiled and said, "Looking at your nervousness, it looks like that person has three heads and six arms."
The district bishop paused for a moment, then said: "Have you...have you ever seen an orc? I...I have."
As he spoke, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he continued: "They are all more than two meters tall, carrying a big wooden stick, and when the stick is dropped, they can smash the brains of people.
They have always been a serious nuisance to Nai'an, and they come here every year to steal things, burn, kill and loot. The Nai'an army has always been unable to do anything about them, calling those guys 'beast disasters'.
And it was especially serious this year, with more than 100,000 coalition troops organized. I saw on the city wall that the sky and the earth were overwhelming, and they were all densely packed with orcs.
You haven't been to the scene, so you don't know.
The terrifying appearance at that time was exactly like the legendary "millions of undead legions" when they invaded the mainland. Those orcs looked as terrifying as abyss demons. I thought the end of the world was coming.
But...but...that man just waved his hand, and all the orcs were defeated. Under the city of Nai'an, a flood swept them all away without a trace.
That person is called the ‘Flying Eagle God of War’.
It is said that he once subdued a sacred dragon when he was in their hometown. And in the Maple Leaf Danlin, he led hundreds of people and defeated the Almohad 70,000 royal elite army and annihilated them.
Moreover, he was not only good at fighting, he also wrote many classic operas. No matter which one of them is published, it will be remembered forever.
In addition, he is also very good at making money. Don't look at the prosperous market in Nai'an. Companies are everywhere and there are as many managers as dogs. But 80% of them are the backstage boss.
Isn’t it already true that being ‘rich enough to rival a country’ is enough?
But in front of him, that's nothing!
As far as I know, if he spends a gold coin in the morning, even if it passes through the hands of a thousand people, at night, the money will definitely return to his pocket.
There is a joke among senior officials in Nai'an that Lord Lorraine has always been a master of land scraping. He is known as "the sky is three feet high and the earth is seven minutes thin". His nickname is "Friend of Hades". Before coming, everyone
They were all still worried. But after he came, everyone no longer had to worry.
Why?
Because he has completely taken all the territory into their home~!
If he wanted to scrape the ground again, he would be poaching his own corner. Therefore, he no longer had to scrape the ground.
For such a man who has outstanding military exploits, profound knowledge, unparalleled wisdom, and extraordinary agility, you actually... actually want to fight with him? "
He paused, leaned forward slightly, looked at Fordo willingly, and said: "Fordo, my friend, listen to me~!"
You must not be too strong against that person.
If you ask me, you should report to the Holy See, and then let the Holy See issue a transfer order to transfer Hilmeria in the name of promotion. After arriving at the Holy See, you should be judged and burned at the stake. This is safe.
And it’s safe. That person is out of reach, so there’s nothing he can do.”
When Fordo saw that he was actually dictating to him, his face turned cold. He waved his hand decisively and said, "Waterlow, I know what to do? I don't need your advice."
He thought of the humiliation he had suffered during his stay in Nai'an, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
Because he knows that it would be extremely unreasonable to fall out with Lorraine in the near future. Unfortunately, he has always been arrogant in front of others, especially in front of Lorraine. Even though he is itching with hatred in his heart, he still has to put on a smile.
, being a grandson has already reached the bottom line of patience.
Regarding this operation, he also hoped that the backer behind him would do what he promised before he came.
He found out what was wrong with Hilmeria. Then a secret letter was sent to him, telling him the actual situation here. Then he argued at the Holy Light Council for more power and sent the Holy See's most powerful sanctions force.
, like divine soldiers descending from heaven.
By that time, I can stop pretending to be a grandson and get rid of Lorraine’s hateful pretty boy~!
Capturing Hilmeria, attacking the strength of the Obachm faction, and paving the way for his patron to become the next pope. By occupying the position of Cardinal of Naian, he can make a lot of money during the land sale process.
fiscal.
After getting rid of Lorraine's pretty face, she felt bad in her chest.
And isn’t that pretty boy the lover of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? Catch him, torture him, and even beat him to death, making him tell the details of his private meeting with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and then tell the world, you can attack Ru
The prestige of the Royal Man.
But this is a wonderful plan that kills five birds with one stone~!
It would be best if Lorraine put on the torture cuffs full of iron thorns and asked him coldly, "Your Excellency, how are you?" and then used a hydra whip dipped in salt water on him.
Give him a good beating~!
Finally, he was escorted and beaten by his men all the way.
It's best to torture him to death to get rid of the hatred in your heart~!
Waterlow couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he saw him gnashing his teeth and his face was ferocious and twisted. Knowing that Fordo had already made up his mind, he didn't say anything more for a while.
He thought for a moment, waited for Fordo to calm down, and then said: "Mr. Fordo, what you want to do is your business. As for me, I don't want to be caught in a fight among big shots like you. No matter who it is.
No matter who wins, we will always be the unlucky ones in the end."
Fordo was startled when he heard that his tone had completely lost the casualness and familiarity he had when he met his old classmate just now. Instead, it was filled with a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away. He knew that his tone just now was too harsh.
Severe reasons.
He originally thought about calming down, joking with the other party, saying a few affectionate words to cover up the unhappiness just now. But he hesitated.
He thought to himself: It's okay this way. He is also a red-robed patrolling bishop, but he is just a district bishop. There is a big difference in class between the two. It's okay to be cold like this. The guy from the province doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he keeps acting arrogant in front of him~
!
Fordo thought of this and immediately stiffened his body. He looked at the other party coldly.
Waterlow continued: "I have done what you asked me to do. Is there anything you should do to ensure my safety?"
Fordo thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, when I get a reply, I will bring you your transfer order at the same time. Are you satisfied with this?"
Waterlow hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, that's all."
He paused and continued: "As for the transfer order, you don't need to send it to me, just send it directly to my hometown."
"Old...home?" Fordo couldn't help but be stunned.
Waterlow said: "You guys are beating you up, but I have to leave early and go back to my hometown to rest for a while and avoid the limelight."
He was afraid that Fordo would forget it, so he carefully told the address of his hometown.
Then he stood up, said goodbye and left.
The Governor's Palace in the west of Naider City is a landmark building in the city.
Xicheng District, where the Governor's Palace is located, is the rich area in the city, separated from the commercial area in the middle, and the civilian area in the east of the city by several neatly planned streets.
Although it is said to be a wealthy area, the streets nearby are elegant and the courtyards on both sides are deep, wide and clean, but it is not deserted here.
On the contrary, because several garden squares, theaters, hotels, and bathhouses are concentrated here, the street in front of the Governor's Palace is quite prosperous.
Roaring horse-drawn carriages and hurried or leisurely passers-by were constantly passing through the wide streets.
The gate of the Government House will be opened on time at sunrise every day to welcome government employees working in the Government House.
Those who request to see the Governor usually choose to wait in front of the gate early in the morning in order to see the Governor of Lorraine as early as possible.
As the governor who holds all the power of a province, there are many people who come to Lorraine for business every day. In front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, you can always see people who want to go in to see Lorraine.
Normally, the carriages of these people would line up the streets outside the gate of the Governor's Palace.
Especially after the Naian land sale began, nobles from all over the country flocked to the gate of the Governor's Palace with generous gifts in order to obtain a purchase permit signed by Lorraine.
However, in recent times, these anxious gift-givers can only get a cold response from the Guards: The Governor is very busy, just wait.
Lorraine has been really busy lately.
After taking charge of Naian, Lorraine could not be called diligent, but he was still competent. Whether it was daily government meetings or various activities under his rule, Lorraine would usually participate.
Even if Lorraine does not attend some daily government meetings, Catherine and Adele will replace Lorraine and instruct Angus and the others to handle these matters.
Although Catherine is young, she has rich political experience and a sophisticated vision. Even the tricks commonly used by her subordinates cannot be hidden from her eyes.
Adele is extremely smart and can always speed up the processing of various things.
Therefore, even if Lorraine was lazy, picked up girls, cheated on others, and started a company with Leo, she always had this free time.
Even if he took tens of thousands of his subordinates to fight with the orcs and seized a large piece of territory, after leaving Nadel City for several months, the entire Naian was still operating normally, and he could even use his hands to attack.
Orcs who run tens of thousands.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Catherine and Adele were not stationed in Nidel City, Nidel City would be in chaos when the orcs attacked the city.
But after the war, some officials in Naian found that their governor was much more lazy than before.
It wasn't until nine o'clock every day, when the sun was high in the sky, that Lorraine would wake up from her leisurely dream, and then contently appreciate the three stunning beauties around her, each with their own style.
After he ate some tofu and pulled the three girls out of bed, Lord Lorraine's wonderful day officially began.
After Catherine, Adele and Hilmeria came downstairs yawning, it was morning tea time for the Lorraine family.
Usually at this time, Leo has already gone off to play somewhere else. As the third largest shareholder of the Flying Eagle Group, Vera puts a lot of thought into making money every day. As long as there is a profit on the books,
, Vera’s little mouth is filled with joy every day.
After Lorena completes her daily exercise in the morning, she usually appears at the morning tea table, teasing Lorraine and the others, and bickering with Adele.
After morning tea, the girls chatted casually and it was lunch time. At this time, Vera would first appear at the table on time, and then Leo would be dragged back by Melina, and the whole room would noisily finish a sumptuous meal.
's lunch.
In the afternoon, everyone should be busy with their own business. Lorraine and Leo met guests, received gifts, and sold land to make money.
Catherine, Adele and Hilmeria also have a beauty nap.
After getting up, Catherine and Adele were busy handling various official duties and meeting with officials in the office building.
Hilmeria may return to the temple in the city to handle daily affairs.
If nothing happened, Catherine and the others would go shopping together and leave a lot of bills to Lorraine.
Until dinner time, Lorraine and the others would gather together again and finish dinner while Catherine and Leo were playing around.
After dinner, it was Lorraine's leisure time. Everyone sat together and listened to Leo brag and talk about his glorious achievements of the day, or ask Lorraine how many benefits he had received today.
Then Vera was about to doze off, and Leo and Melina, who had been running around for a day, also started to feel sleepy.
Vera would stretch her legs and go upstairs to sleep, while Catherine would drive Leo to bed as well.
After the children all go out, Lorraine and the others will do some exercises that are good for physical and mental health, and then squeeze into the comfortable big bed to sleep.
She was reluctant to accept the money and slept until her back was sore. For Lorraine, this was really a fairy-like good life. Lorraine only hoped that this land would never be sold out.
Lorraine's life was very happy, and it could be said that "from now on the king will not go to court early in the morning", but for Angus and the others, they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly when they saw the empty throne room during the morning meeting.
Today, the gate of the Governor's Palace is as noisy as ever. The officials or nobles from Lorraine who came to see them huddled in front of the gate, noisy and fighting with the guards guarding the gate.
The Imperial Guards ignored the shouts of these people, but immediately blocked the door and said: "Register, write down your name and position, and if you have registered, go in, and someone will arrange an appointment time for you."
Looking at the swords of the Imperial Guard soldiers at the door, everyone knew that this was not a place where they could cause trouble, so they could only obey the arrangements obediently.
At this time, a man wearing black clothes and a wide-brimmed hat, followed by several attendants, walked across the street towards the gate of the Governor's Palace.
This man is short in stature and has a stocky build. His face is covered tightly by a big hat. Although his clothes are simple in style, anyone who knows the goods can tell that both the fabric and the workmanship are of the highest quality.
He looks like a noble or a high official.
The attendants behind him were also dressed simply, each wearing a warrior's attire, with different styles but tailored to fit, with swords hanging on their waists.
Although everyone has a relaxed expression on their face, looking around in boredom, there will occasionally be a flash of light in their eyes.
The guard's steps were neither slow nor fast, but he firmly protected the man in the middle.
The visitor originally thought that there wouldn't be many people in the Governor's Mansion early in the morning, which suited his idea of keeping a low profile, but he didn't expect that dozens of people were already crowded at the door.
The visitor stopped and hesitated.
The guard next to him saw him stop and asked curiously: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Aren't we being a bit ostentatious by just going in like this? We were given repeated orders not to make any noise before we came here."
The guard scratched his head and said: "We are already at the door. We can't go back. I think it's okay. The people guarding the door in front are all our own brothers."
The visitor thought for a while and said: "Time is precious, let's go, don't make any noise later, I have my own plan."
The guards had noticed them a long time ago. Their faces were covered tightly and they were walking around. In the eyes of the imperial guards, this person was Gui Gui Chong Chong and his identity was suspicious.
Before they could reach the door, several guardsmen came forward with swords in their hands.
The Guards soldiers stopped in front of them and asked warily: "Who is coming?"
The visitor looked at the person in front of him and began to pay attention to him, and said in a low voice: "It's me."
The Praetorian Guards soldier frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The person who came reached out and raised the brim of his hat, glared at the Guards soldiers, and said, "It's me. You've only been away for a few days and you don't recognize me anymore."
The Guards soldier was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "My lord, the steward."
Then he immediately stood at attention and wanted to salute.
The man who was called the steward by the imperial guards waved his hand and said: "No need to salute, don't make any noise."
The Guards soldier quickly put down his arm and said, "Master Manager, why are you here?"
The steward smiled and said: "Of course I'm here to do business. Anyway, don't ask, are Governor Lorraine and Her Royal Highness the Princess here? I want to ask to see you and Your Highness."
The guard soldier said: "My lord and your highness are both in the house. Sir, please come with me."
The steward said "hmm" and followed the guardsmen towards the gate.
The guard soldier behind the steward quietly poked the attendant behind him and whispered: "Brother, you look familiar."
The attendants grinned and said, "We are all in the third brigade."
The guard's eyes lit up and he said happily: "You guys, please tell me what fun things have happened in Ruman City recently.
The attendant laughed and said, "It's not as fun as your place. We've all heard about it. You live a carefree life here, with high bonuses and benefits. No one cares about you when you go to the brothel. This makes the brothers jealous to death."
The imperial guards curled their lips and said: "There are not many good things in this place, how can it compare to Ruman City."
"It's not like there's no news," the attendant winked, and then pulled the Guards soldiers to exchange information.
"That so-and-so was caught and raped by his wife."
"Damn, I should have known he was nothing."
"Then whose daughter ran away with a wild man."
"Tch, she used to act pretentious when I saw her before. Turns out she's the same kind of thing."
"So-and-so's wife ransacked his foreign residence."
"Sooner or later."
When the steward heard the guardsmen gossiping, he just smiled lightly and walked into the gate of the Governor's Mansion under the guidance of the soldiers.
The people waiting at the door saw that the steward and his entourage had not even registered, so they walked in swaggeringly. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so, and started shouting around the guards in front of them.
"Why did they just go in? Are you operating behind the scenes?"
"Brother of the Guards, let's discuss it. We will give you double the amount they give you. You and the Governor can say hello to us."
"That's it. Tell me how much you want. It's not like we won't give it. I've been waiting for two days."
The guard soldier had a straight face and said: "What are you yelling about? You guys are talking nonsense about what you know. You really think we are being bribed? You guys, listen clearly. That person is someone sent by the governor's family.
Do you understand?"
These people slapped their thighs and said regretfully to themselves: The governor's family, I should have flattered you just now, if only I could give you a business card.
Everyone knows that the people around the governor have been following the trend recently, and even the cooks in the government are fawning over him.
Lorraine was strictly following her work and rest schedule at this time, waking up leisurely from a comfortable sleep.
Sunlight shines through the large glass windows into the bedroom. On the large bed in the center, Catherine Adele and Hilmeria are huddled together, but Lorraine has been rushed to one side.
Lorraine opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Adele's exquisite curves covered by the quilt.
Adele was leaning sideways, with her right arm on the bed to support her head, and her other hand holding her long, moist and smooth hair, whispering to Hilmeria in a low voice.
Lorraine smiled wickedly, slid her fingers across the sheets, and slowly touched Adele's soft waist.
When Lorraine's fingers touched her body, Adele just trembled and then returned to normal.
Seeing that Adele didn't care, Lorraine's hands continued to play tricks, and her fingers nimbly slid across Adele's back.
In the end, Adele couldn't stand the tickling anymore, and she trembled and giggled. She raised her hand and patted the offending hand, and said coquettishly: "It's still not peaceful this morning."
Lorraine chuckled, generously grabbed Adele's waist, pulled her into his arms, and then dishonestly took advantage of Adele's body.
Adele hesitated to block Lorraine's clutches.
At this time, Catherine stretched, yawned and clapped her mouth, saying: "Wake up, it's so late again."
Adele could not stop Lorraine by herself, so she shouted: "Meier, save me."
Hilmeria also laughed and rushed forward, playing with Lorraine.
Catherine looked at Lorraine, Adele, and Hilmeria rolling and playing together, smiled slightly, lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The four people in the room were stunned. Everyone in the Governor's Mansion knew that Lord Lorraine did not need to be called by others when she was sleeping. Catherine and Adele were specifically responsible for this.
But now there was someone knocking on the door, but it was definitely not Leo. Leo always knocked on the door every time he came up.
Lorraine, Adele, and Hilmeria froze there, looking at the door in confusion.
Catherine made a shushing gesture to them, walked to the door and said, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
The clear voice of the elf maid rang out and said: "It's us, Your Highness, people coming from Ruman City, asking to see the Lord and you."
Catherine was stunned and said: "Okay, I understand. Lorraine and I will go down right away. You go down and don't let anyone come up."
"Yes, Your Highness." The pair of elf sisters walked away from Lorraine's door with tiny steps.
Catherine tapped her palm and said, "Maybe it's my uncle. Lorraine, get up quickly and follow me down to have a look."
Hilmeria patted her chest and put on a frightened expression, which made Lorraine's eyes widen. Adele pushed Lorraine and said: "Don't be in a daze, get up quickly."
Adele and Hilmeria pulled Lorraine out of bed. The two girls hurriedly put on Lorraine's coat, and Catherine also arranged her hair in front of the dressing table.
When Lorraine and Catherine walked into the reception room together, they saw the steward holding the tea cup and sipping hot tea as if he had found a treasure.
Catherine looked at the strong steward and said in surprise: "Uncle Leandre, why did you come to Naian?"
Leandre quickly put down the tea cup, jumped up from the chair, bowed deeply to Lorraine and Catherine, and said excitedly: "Greetings to your highness, your lord."
Catherine pulled Lorraine to Leander's side, pointed at Leander, and said: "Lorraine, this is Mr. Leander, the deputy general manager of the palace. He took care of me for a long time when I was in Ruman City."
As soon as Catherine called the man in front of her uncle, Lorraine knew that this man had a close relationship with Catherine's family. She immediately took a step forward, grabbed Leander's arm and helped him up, and said with a smile: "Since Nicole
If everyone calls you uncle, then you are one of our own, so you are welcome."
