There is no banquet tonight, and Balian, who has free time, is reading a book in the room. Thanks to the gray papyrus, most nobles and religious people in this time and space can read and write. Therefore, in the two hundred years from the end of the empire to the present,
, leaving behind many books.
After recapturing the city of Amundine this time, Balian found a lot of books in the study room of the governor's mansion. Naturally, the pirates did not take away these books that could not be eaten or drunk, but Balian packed them all and took them away. Through
By reading these books, you can also have a good understanding of the historical context of this time and space, the local customs and customs of various places, etc.
While he was lying there reading, Bran came in to report that a woman wanted to see him, and she said she was Madame Mirabeau's sister.
If it were anyone else, Balian would have asked Bran to drive him away directly, but since this woman claimed to be Madam Mirabeau's sister and dared to come to him to prove that she knew about his deal with Madam Mirabeau, she must be Mi
Lady Rumples was a more trustworthy person, so Balian asked Bran to invite her in.
Under the brighter light in the study, after Mrs. Tully took off her cloak, Balian could see her appearance clearly. She was a very beautiful lord's wife with a slim figure. After she saw Balian, she was slightly moved.
As soon as she smiled, she began to flirt with each other. It seemed that she knew how to use her own advantages.
However, Balian is not a young man who has never seen anything. In his previous life, he was a liquor salesman. If he can't handle such a small scene, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Balian remained calm, and after standing up to welcome him, he asked with a smile: "Mrs. Tully, I haven't met Madam Mirabeau many times, and I haven't heard her mention you, but since you can know that we know each other,
, then Madam Mirabeau must trust you very much."
Lady Tully saw that Balian, a baron who was only twenty years old, could not be moved by her own expressions. Her face turned a little red, but she had seen a lot of people in the world. She also smiled and replied:
: "Lord Balian, Mirabeau and I are both sisters who studied in a monastery. Over the years, she has come to me to confide many of her grievances and sufferings. I only learned about her cooperation with you some time ago, and I also received
The soaps and painted pottery produced in your territory are all great things, I like them very much."
"That's great. I'm deeply honored to be recognized by you." Balian looked flattered and ordered Brand: "In a moment, when you send Mrs. Tully away, prepare some more."
Toilet soap and a set of painted pottery wine sets.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Tully smiled even more happily, "Thank you Lord Balian. If possible, let this little brother prepare it for me now."
As soon as Balian heard what she said, he knew that this Lady Tully was not a simple person. It seemed that she either had some secrets to tell him or she was trying to do something bad. However, looking at her delicate appearance, it didn't look like that.
Did the person who committed the assassination want to slander him for being rude?
Thinking of this, Balian denied it first. On this three-quarter acre of land, let alone indecency, even if he really did something to her, she would have no place to reason with her. She couldn't do it.
"Okay, Bran, go ahead and prepare the gifts. Choose carefully and prepare carefully." Balian said to Bran and gave him a look. Bran was also very smart now and immediately understood what it meant.
After Bran exited the study, he did not prepare gifts. Instead, he and a few guards were outside listening to the movements in the room very vigilantly, ready to rush in at any time.
After Mrs. Tully waited for Bran to leave, she smiled slightly and said, "Lord Balian, Brick has not had a young and promising noble like you for many years. If I were still an unmarried girl, I would definitely get married.
For you."
"Hahaha!" Balian laughed several times, "Mrs. Tully, you are really good at joking. Balian Tucker is just a silly boy with some good luck. You are really too flattering. I can't stand it.
I'm sorry."
After finishing speaking, Balian stared at her beautiful face with interest, and then asked: "From the time you entered the house to now, you haven't introduced your identity or what you are here for. Are we just the two of you now, or are you?"
It is better to speak openly and honestly. I have just fought for a month and dealt with the nobles of the court for a week. I am very tired. Shouldn't you be considerate of me?"
After hearing Balian's straightforward words, Lady Tully was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed. This time, she smiled so brightly that she didn't know whether it was intentional or it really hit her point of laughter.
"Well, my dear Lord Balian, you are so boring. In the future, I wonder if your wife will think you have no fun at all." Lady Tully asked, staring directly into Balian's eyes.
.
Balian stared back directly, "As for whether I am interesting or not, I just need to know. Besides, that is a matter between the two of us, so I don't bother you. Now please answer my question quickly.
Otherwise, do you still want to stay the night?"
As soon as Balian said this, Mrs. Tully's face turned even redder. She never expected that she, who had always been a sharp-tongued person, would be squeezed out like this by a man ten years younger than herself.
Mrs. Tully stood up and took off her cloak. After taking off her cloak, she rolled up her sleeves again, revealing her white arms. Looking at her actions, Balian felt a little shaken.
, he is still a child in two lifetimes. He can say it, but if he really does it, he is really numb now.
Lady Tully looked at Balian with reddish cheeks, and she felt a lot happy. Although this young baronet was very capable and good at talking, he was still young after all. He was actually shy when she did this.
Already.
"Lord Balian, look at the injuries on my arms." As he spoke, he stretched his arms in front of Balian.
Balian took a deep breath, took a look, and asked in surprise: "These scars should be a month or two old. Who did it?"
Mrs. Tully actually shed tears. She replied: "Didn't you ask me about my identity just now? I just said that I was the wife who broke off the engagement with Sauger and was also the daughter of Baron Collis. These injuries were all caused by Sauger."
mine."
Hearing this, Balian's eyes widened. He stood up suddenly and said seriously: "If your father sent you here, then you can leave. There is nothing to say between us."
"My father is my father, and I am me. I can swear to the God of Fire that my visit this time has nothing to do with him. If I tell even half a lie, I will be swallowed up by the poisonous fire."
Seeing this cheerful woman solemnly swearing an oath, coupled with her relationship with Madam Mirabeau, Balian decided to listen to her.
