Spring, Earl of Glamorgan, Lady in the Lake Tower.
In the corridor of the tower, Ryan, who was wearing a count's dress, followed Morgiana and reported to her a series of things that happened in Bordeaux.
Morgiana was wearing a vanilla and rose fragrant silk dress, a flower crown on her head, and a pair of bare feet floating in the air. She listened carefully to Ryan's report. The Lake God Witch frowned: "So, do you think the infiltrator
Is it Mathurbard, and was he brought in by Fiona, the granddaughter of the Duke of Belion?"
"Is there a second explanation?" Ryan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Unfortunately, there is no evidence."
Ryan told Morgiana in detail what happened, a series of things that happened from before the banquet started until the banquet ended hastily.
After the banquet, by checking the guest list and asking the guards, Fiona from Belion was immediately listed as one of the suspects. First, her male companion Dominic, a knight from the Principality of Belion, mysteriously disappeared.
He was last seen appearing near the turret, which is where the infiltrator escaped from the castle.
The guards also confirmed that Fiona rudely refused the guards' search when they were together with Dominic. As a result, the female aristocrat was placed under house arrest until further sentencing.
However, the subsequent search was unexpected. That is, the body of the real Dominic was found in the garden of the castle. He was killed on the day of the banquet. Apparently, the uninvited guest who had sneaked in pretended to be Dominic and entered the castle. Fio
Na claimed that she was also a victim and that she had no idea that Dominic had been killed.
Ryan knew that there must be something fishy here. There was no doubt that Fiona had brought Mathubad into the castle. However, because the evidence was favorable to Fiona and she firmly claimed that she had no knowledge, the privileged Fiona therefore
After being released again, the girl immediately left Bordeaux and returned to Belian overnight, cursing her.
Many people at the banquet knew this, but without definite evidence, they were still unable to try a member of the first generation of the twelve Holy Grail Knights family. They could only let her go for the time being, keep the case file, and report it to the king and the Lake God Witch.
.
Only the King and the Lake Witch have the right to deal with Fiona.
For Ryan, this matter is not over yet. He just happened to find Morgiana to discuss this matter, how to lower the punishment and make some use of the relationship between Fiona and Matthew Bader, because only Sulia knew about Matthew.
The relationship between Bud and Fiona.
He told Morgiana about this at that time, so he came to Morgiana now.
Morgiana was originally very happy to see that Ryan came to see her on "every Monday" as promised. The Lake God Witch immediately said that the two of us could cook some food together tonight, but it turned out that Ryan was here to report the situation.
His attitude immediately changed for the worse.
Immediately afterwards, after Ryan promised to leave after dinner in the evening, Morgiana's face obviously changed from anger to joy, and she began to listen to Ryan's report seriously.
The mood of Her Highness the Lake God Witch is really fickle, Ryan thought in his mind.
"I also know about Fiona." Morgiana walked to Ryan. She thought about the cause and effect, and felt that the problem was complicated: "Lyan, this is not Kurona. In Kurona, I can speak privately.
Let the Holy Grail Knights capture Fiona for questioning. Now
No, Fiona returned to the Principality of Belion. She was naturally protected by the laws of the kingdom. The lady oracle said that the first generation of the twelve Holy Grail Knight families could not be accused or punished in private without major crimes and definite evidence. At that time, I did not
There is nothing wrong with what you did."
"This is why that woman dared to directly provoke me and dared to bring Mathubad into the banquet. She was just relying on the favor of her ancestors." Ryan nodded helplessly: "Of course, the vampires are fully prepared, and we are not.
Conclusive evidence can prove that Fiona is related to vampires, and even if I hadn't overheard their conversation in the windmill, I wouldn't have thought so much."
Some things are always frustrating, such as what happened to Ryan. Britannia has very strict requirements for punishing knights, especially the first generation of the twelve Holy Grail knight families. There is no conclusive evidence.
They will be tried by the king or the Lake God and the Witch. No one has the right to imprison, arrest or interrogate these members of the nobility.
The twelve families of the first Holy Grail Knights are not guilty of treason or blasphemy and are not subject to prosecution or sentencing.
Based on Ryan's relationship with the Fairy of the Lake, if Ryan insists on forcibly charging Fiona with treason and blasphemy, he may be able to do it, but if he does this, he is not worthy of becoming a Knight of the Holy Grail, because he would be
What's the difference between Fiona and Fiona, who acts recklessly because of her family background?
Just like in his previous life, he saw many people who hated certain privileged people the most. On the surface, they cursed but on the inside they were envious. When he climbed to a high place, these people not only did not abolish these privileges, but even went too far.
This principle.
Human beings always repeat the same tragedy, and they always become what they once hated the most. These people will still plausibly say: "The monk can touch it, but I can't?"
Ryan would never do this kind of thing.
But this doesn't mean that Ryan has nothing to do against Fiona's arrogance.
"Fiona obviously has a connection with Mathubad. This connection may be active or passive, but it doesn't matter. We should turn passive into active. My Highness, please give an order to let the Lake God Prophet deal with
Fiona launched an investigation. We had enough reasons to suspect that she was colluding with vampires, and then during the investigation
In the process, she was temporarily deprived of her privileges as a member of the original twelve Holy Grail Knights family." Ryan's eyes were sharp as he continued: "As long as the investigation time is extended, Fiona will truly understand the consequences of losing her family identity.
It will definitely make her feel miserable, and this is our chance."
In essence, this kind of investigation can't find anything, but it doesn't matter. Ryan doesn't expect to find anything. What he really wants is to tear off Fiona's coat and halo of the Duke of Berleon's family.
From enjoying a high status to being investigated for suspicion, the gap in status is extremely huge. Ryan understands Fiona. With her charming personality and respectful upbringing, she will definitely not be able to stand this. Over time,
She will subconsciously ask others for help.
Who to look for? Duke Theodoric?
That guy has summoned more than two hundred knights and is preparing to go to the Monastery of the Lady of the Lake in Bastogne to be imprisoned.
All that's left is Mashubad.
After a moment of association, Morgiana understood the ferocity of Ryan's method. This method complied with the laws of the kingdom and the rules of the Lake Fairy, but it had the unique aura of a ruthless palace veteran. On the sixth day she came to Britannia,
At the beginning of the year, the divinely chosen champion in his early thirties gradually matured politically.
Ryan came to the Lake Fairy Tower mainly to discuss this matter with Morgiana. After the agreement, Ryan relaxed. The two of them walked through the corridor. He casually asked Morgiana: "My
Your Highness, are you feeling better recently?"
"Moving is no longer a problem, and most of my magic power has been restored. At present, my strength has probably returned to the legendary peak. If I want to restore the power of my heyday, I must find the Holy Grail of Potion." Morgiana looked good when she saw Ryan caring about her.
After talking for a while, she replied casually: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. It's fine for me to stay here. You just need to come in on time to accompany me."
"Retrieve the Potion Holy Grail? I don't know where the vampire put the Potion Holy Grail. Maybe we need to send people to Mu Silon to investigate." Ryan is very concerned about Morgiana's recovery of strength. The power of the Lake God Witch is enough to change
The national fate of the entire knight kingdom, whether on the battlefield or in daily life.
"It's not clear where the Potion Holy Grail is stored by the vampires. I still need some time to recover until I can sense the location of the Potion Holy Grail. When I have clues, I will naturally inform you."
"Okay." Ryan and Morgiana entered the restaurant, and the ingredients were already placed in the kitchen.
This is not the first time that Ryan has tasted Morgiana's cooking skills. Since moving to live in the Lake Fairy's tower, Morgiana has been quite leisurely. She only occasionally delivers the oracles and admonitions of the Lake Fairy.
Apart from being an expedition knight seeking enlightenment, she spends most of her time very freely. The main thing she has to do is to take care of the herb garden and a small vineyard left by the fairy in the lake.
For some purpose, she began to practice her cooking skills. Morgiana gradually began to try to make food and some pastries, and made them for Ryan to taste on the day he came here every week.
The decoration of the restaurant in the tower has a very obvious high elf style, which emphasizes embellishment of the building in nature. The design emphasizes the sense of natural return of the soul, giving people a strong atmosphere. The open space structure,
Flowers and green plants can be seen everywhere, with fine carvings
Furniture, etc., everything creates a pastoral atmosphere as a whole. Whether it is the delicate flowers in the bedside table lamp pattern, or a slightly swaying rocking chair in front of the window, you can feel it in any corner.
To see the owner's leisurely life and sunny mood.
The layout in the restaurant is very clear. The dining table and dining chairs are all off-white, with slightly carved surfaces. Matching the arc curvature of the armrests and chair legs, it looks elegant and noble. The white curly grass pattern curtains, crystal chandeliers, and floor lamps
, paired with vase lilies, a romantic and fresh feeling comes to your face.
"Ryan, try it." Morgiana opened the oven and took out the baked Britannia pie from the oven. The beautiful and cold face of the Lake God Witch now had a touch of joy.
, she placed a plate of pies in front of Ryan: "Tonight's first dish is a traditional dish from northern Brittany, which is the famous Cornish pie."
The golden dumpling-like skin was filled with hot fillings. Ryan took the pie from Morgiana's hand, took a bite, and quickly squinted his eyes: "It's delicious, um...beef
, kale, potatoes, onions, and pepper, Morgiana, did you add a little pepper?”
"Pepper to remove the fishy smell." Morgiana saw that Ryan liked it, and the Lake God Witch, who had always been cold and serious, simply had the word "happiness" written on her face. She sat next to Ryan, with her hands clasped together on the table: "
Cornish pasties come from Connet, and the inventors are the Cornish family, the family of Lawn-Leo Cornwall. This kind of pie is not difficult to make, and it has also been one of the traditional delicacies since the founding of the country."
"It's indeed delicious, soft and delicious, with a moderate taste." Ryan nodded repeatedly, and the count ate two pies in a row.
Next, Morgiana served charcoal-grilled lamb chops and fish and chips. Ryan heard Morgiana say that the Lake God Witch had recently been studying various dishes from the northern coast of Britannia.
Unlike southern Britannia, which is rich and fertile, the northern coast of Britannia is not rich in products due to perennial plunder by northern barbarian pirates and dark elf pirates. The food of the locals is relatively simple, especially
The workmanship is very simple, pursuing quick completion and immediate consumption. Locals like simple foods such as pies, pies, French fries, barbecue and fish jelly.
If it is the south of Brittany, the delicate taste of the dishes, the delicious sauces, and the gorgeous tableware settings can be called an art. For example, in the Principality of Winford and the Principality of Bordeaux, the quality of the dishes
There are many types and the cooking methods are also unique.
The two used knives and forks to cut the lamb chops. The tender oily flowers and tendons gave off a good smell under the cutting of the silver knives and forks. Ryan gently forked a piece of lamb chops. He saw Morgiana also pick up the knife.
Cross, decided to stir up the topic: "By the way, Duke Theodoric committed such a big thing, I thought there wouldn't be many knights in his duchy to support him, but I heard from the news that there are hundreds of knights who want to follow him.
he."
"Theodoric de Belion is a direct descendant of Balduin, the first Duke of Belion. As you know, Theodoric is a drunkard and a pervert." Morgiana answered.
Ryan's question made her look a little confused: "However, what you may not know well is that Duke Theodoric is also a very powerful warrior."
"I know this." Ryan nodded. He chewed the mutton chops in his mouth. He had never seen Duke Theodoric's bravery with his own eyes. There was indeed a lot of news in the kingdom. This Duke always liked to hold hands tightly.
Holding a battle ax blessed by the fairy in the lake, he harvested enemies. He neither used lance nor sword and shield. I don’t know how many powerful enemies were killed under his big ax. In terms of martial arts and brute force alone,
, he is also one of the most powerful warriors in Britannia.
In the Knights' Conference many years ago, the final contender was Francois versus Theodoric. It is said that Theodoric is still bitter about losing to Francois, which is enough to prove his strength.
It's a pity that this man is a pervert, especially fond of all kinds of unethical relationships. It is no accident that he was found to have had affairs with many noble ladies.
"Theodoric behaved like two people. On the battlefield, he was proud and brave. Every time he fought, he would personally lead the charge and come back wounded every time. He was very good to his soldiers and often fought with knights.
Even the sergeants sat together to eat and shared joys and sorrows. This made many knights in Belion regard him as an idol and role model. In life, Theodori
Ke is a poetry lover and the biggest patron of bards. He also loves to write poetry, especially those that praise forbidden love." Morgiana continued: "This polarized his evaluation in the principality, and those who like him
Quite a few, there were many people who hated him, and when a large number of opponents told him to get out of the principality, Theodoric had no shortage of supporters."
"Yeah." Ryan knew that a person cannot be viewed simply in terms of good and bad. People are always complicated.
The dinner party at the Witch of the Lake God was in a harmonious atmosphere. Morgiana watched Ryan eat the dinner she cooked and felt satisfied. After a few dishes were served, Morgiana took out an iron plate from the oven: "This is
The last dish, Laine, is the most famous dish in northern Brittany."
Ryan looked at the iron plate carefully. The food in the iron plate looked like a flatbread with bacon, cilantro and minced onions on it.
This is not the point.
The point is, there are eight fried sardine heads sticking out from the inside of the flatbread. These "cute" faces are all facing up, with their mouths half-open, looking at the ceiling.
