Lena Mandheling, the name Minna is no stranger to her. In recent years, she has become more
Isn’t Alex’s sister-in-law a saint in the Vatican Central Church? Why here? !
Minna immediately turned to look at Alex, wondering what on earth had he done? Can the saints of the Light Cult be taken away at will
After getting excited, Viscount Mandheling had obviously thought about this problem, his face suddenly turned pale, and he glanced sharply outside the door, which scared Minna and immediately retracted her head. I saw him quickly holding his sister and entering the house. At the same time, he whispered a few instructions to the family and the housekeeper behind him. Atre's wife immediately covered her mouth and took the child into the house. The housekeeper also signaled the servants to leave. Then he followed him, as if he was going to give some instructions.
Alex smiled and said loudly: "Father, don't worry. My aunt came back this time with the permission of the bishop. She was originally going to follow the Vana mission, but halfway through, aunt was anxious to see you, so I took her Let her take the first step."
Viscount Mandheling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still glared at his son: "Reckless boy! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Then he turned to his sister Elena: "Why didn't you write back and tell me in advance? I can send Someone will pick you up." His tone was completely different and gentle.
Elena smiled lightly and said: "The matter was decided not long ago. It happened to be that I could go with the delegation, and Alex would take care of me. I thought there was no need to trouble my brother to send someone, so I didn't write back. Isn't this A surprise?”
Viscount Mandheling complained: "Although it is a surprise, why do you think you will trouble me? I am your brother."
Elena smiled sheepishly, holding her brother's hand and walking into the house.
Ming Na watched them disappear behind the door, a little anxious. Just now she heard Alex mention that Elena's return was approved by the Holy See, but why didn't East get the news? If Elena comes back, what will happen to Princess Diana? She was eager to know the details of the incident and hesitated to play the orb again. But this kind of magic alchemy product has flaws and can only be hidden from ordinary people. As a magician, Alex will definitely notice it, and he will definitely be angry then, right
When she was anxious, Alex suddenly turned his head and smiled towards the bushes on the roadside. Minna realized that he had discovered her, so she had to pop up and waved. Alex winked, smiled, and entered the house.
Ming Na felt relieved. No longer anxious. She knew that Alex would definitely tell her the details afterwards.
I looked around and saw no one. She quietly avoided the eyes and ears in front of the Mandheling family mansion. slipped away.
In the study of the owner of the Mandheling family mansion. Elena asked her brother. Explain the whole story of his return one by one.
She is not returning home temporarily. But from now on. They no longer go back to Fan'a. Due to Princess Diana's poor health. Since last year. He has been bedridden. Unable to perform her duties as a saint. And she is just a serving saint. He is not young anymore. Therefore, the twelve bishops of the Central Holy See have been discussing. Whether to look for one or two young earth saints again. replace them.
The Royal Family of East since the current King Walfred III came to the throne. Every year he writes to the Holy See to request that his sister resign and return to China. But it’s hard to find a candidate for the Saint. And Princess Diana herself hopes to stay. Therefore, the Central Holy See has not relented. This year they finally found a suitable saint candidate. I plan to write again when Alfred III writes. Answer in the affirmative. Who knows from the beginning of the year to now. The former didn't even write a letter. After the new saint officially took over the position. The Central Holy See decided to take advantage of this opportunity to come to celebrate his birthday. Let Princess Diana and Elena return home with the mission. From now on. As long as the two former saints continue to follow the teachings. Don't do anything that is not evil. They are then free to reunite with their families.
The saint returned home after retiring from office in old age. There are precedents in history. But most recently. It was already more than two hundred years ago. Considering the status of the former Saint Diana as a princess. This is also reasonable. Van A did not prepare a generous gift. But I believe my beloved sister is back. It is already the birthday gift that King East wants most.
After hearing this, Viscount Mandheling sighed: "Although it is a good thing, isn't the Central Holy See going too far? It sounds like after using a person, it abandons her." After a pause, he Another thing came to mind: "You said Her Royal Highness Princess Diana's health is not good, how is she now? Is it okay if you just leave her and come back first?!"
Elena still smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter, Your Highness the Saint's health is not too bad. She was in good spirits along the way, eating and sleeping normally. There are several maids around her to take care of her, and there are monks Treat her at any time without me being around. In fact, if she hadn't been unable to bear the fatigue of traveling, she would have been eager to come back early. She asked me to bring a letter to her family, asking my brother to make arrangements. I will I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty the King."
"Okay, okay, leave it all to me." Viscount Mandheling agreed happily, leaning back with a smile on his face, "I won't leave when I come back this time. It's great. Our family will be together in the future We can live together, just like we did when we were children. In the evening, I asked someone to bring messages to several children, telling them to go home quickly to meet their aunt. Except for the eldest Allison, you have never seen the other children, right
Eryatre is still here, but he is probably out now. These children have been disobedient. I am getting married tomorrow, and except for the second child, the others actually refuse to come back to attend the wedding. Hum! It's your sister-in-law who spoiled them! "
Alex was quietly drinking coffee beside him, but Viscount Mandheling refused to let him go: "Alex is the most rebellious one! If it weren't for the sake of him bringing you back, I would definitely I won't let him go easily! Do you know what he has done? I finally arranged a job for him, but he casually said he would not do it, and did not even return home. He was idle outside, and he boldly participated in some war! What if? If it weren't for the blessing of the God of Light, he would be a pile of withered bones now! After finally earning some honors, it was a good opportunity to participate in politics, but he actually refused again! He also got together with Xiao Tianjian's illegitimate daughter. It really pissed me off. !”
As soon as he finished scolding, he remembered that his sister had loved that person in the past. Didn't these words just expose her scars? She felt extremely regretful immediately and mumbled: "Uh...Elena, I didn't mean to mention that bastard, I just..."
"It's okay, brother." Elena's smile has not changed at all, "That is all in the past. I was still a little girl at that time and my thoughts were immature. I regret it now. I shouldn't let you do it willfully. I'm sad."
Viscount Mandheling suddenly became happy: "You are right! There is no need to be sad for that bastard! Now we should be happy! You are back home, and I am getting married again tomorrow. All the happy things have come together!"
Alex put down the cup and calmly said: "Father, I told my aunt on the way about tomorrow's wedding, but my aunt seems to have her own opinion. Are you willing to listen?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Viscount Mandheling's face: "I knew it! You must have said a lot of bad things in front of your aunt, right? Elena, don't listen to him, what does he know about a child? What does this marriage mean to us?" The family is very advantageous, and hasn’t the daughter of the Heda family been your companion for decades? Although she did some bad things under the pressure of her father and brother, you have been good friends for many years after all. Their family is actually suffering. Or, if it weren’t for that bastard…hum!”
Alex interrupted: "Father, I heard that your bride's surname is not really Hedda, but Francis, right?"
"Shut up!" Viscount Mandheling said angrily, "That's what young people say when they are upset! The Hedda family and our Mandheling family have been good friends since hundreds of years ago! We were harmed by the same person. Having lost your sister, you are also being persecuted by the royal family and facing the fate of decline. We should unite now! If you are still my son, break off the relationship with that little girl named Xiao...Cado! I will arrange the most suitable one for you. Marriage partner!"
Alex raised his eyebrows and did not refute his father's words, but glanced in the direction of his aunt.
Viscount Mandheling had a bad premonition and hurriedly asked his sister: "Elena, you won't believe what he said, right?"
Elena was silent for a while, then said: "I don't know what benefits this marriage will bring to the family, but I..." She hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to say: "I don't think Rosalind Heda is my friend. . If my life is determined by my childish mistakes when I was young, then she was the main reason that led to the final outcome of the matter in my decision-making process!"
Viscount Mandheling was stunned: "You...what are you talking about? Elena, I don't understand."
Elena lowered her head and spoke with some difficulty: "I am really ashamed to say these words in front of my brother today. At that time, Rosalin and I were not actually good friends, but because the two families were closely related, Both my father and uncle wanted us to get along well, so we were often together when we were outside. By chance, we met Xiao together... He was really great at that time! He was personable and smart, and he also knew many things we had learned from him. Unheard of anecdotes, if he was in a good mood, he would write great love poems for us... I know he had many admirers, but I always felt that I was special at that time, because no one was gentler than me Thoughtful…”
She seemed to be lost in memories, and suddenly she felt a cool breeze blowing from her side. She woke up immediately and realized that it was her nephew who did it. Only then did she realize from his gestures that the face of her brother opposite was serious. Ugly. She smiled and brought the topic to the main point: "At that time, we actually knew it well. In terms of status, Princess Diana was naturally the highest, but Mirabell was the most beautiful. I asked myself that she was gentle and considerate, and Rosalind was the most beautiful. What pleased Xiao was her lively character. We all thought that the princess would win in the end, but we didn’t expect that Xiao would marry Mirabell. Later we learned from the princess that the late king had made many excessive demands, and Xiao She refused to accept it, so she gave up on the princess. The princess was very sad about this matter, not only for Xiao, but also for her father. When she learned that the late king had decided on an engagement partner for her, she decided to go to Fan'a."
She turned to her brother and said sternly: "Brother, does he know who her fiancé is? He is the former head of the Heda family and Rosalind's brother!"
Viscount Mandheling opened his eyes wide: "I have never heard of this!"
"Because the matter has not been announced yet, no one outside the world knows about it. The princess hates the heir of the Hedda family because he is a notorious playboy.
The late king was so disappointed that he chose to become a saint.
I don’t know what Rosalin was thinking. She came to me at that time and said that since we were all the same, we should advance and retreat together and let Xiao feel sorry for us, so that he would remember us forever. She also said that if I didn’t agree, it would prove My love for Xiao is not as deep as hers. I was sad about Xiao's marriage at the time, so I agreed in a daze and thought it was a great thing to do. "She smiled self-deprecatingly, "It wasn't until I entered the Central Holy See that I realized what I had done, but by then it was too late, and I couldn't look back..."
Viscount Mandheling suddenly felt a little breathless: "But this kind of thing... Rosalind is the same, right? You are all victims, if it weren't for that bastard..."
"Brother!" Elena was a little excited, "We are nobles. How many girls like us can marry their sweethearts? In the end, wouldn't they accept the family's arrangements? There are so many people who like Xiao, I should have known a long time ago that he was just a dream to me! I was so ashamed, I was really dizzy at the time, I was wrong!" She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried silently.
When she left home, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, the age of a flower, but now her hair was covered with silver threads, and her once delicate skin was now as old as dry tree bark. Her youth was ruined in this way. In the days when she first arrived in Vana, she kept regretting her reckless impulse. As time passed by, her mood was reflected in the daily scripture readings. I calmed down and gradually got used to it, but when I got home today, all that regret came out and I couldn't stop it.
Viscount Mandheling couldn't help but shed tears: "So, it's all Rosalind... But she's about the same age as you. She regrets it, right? Why don't you write back? If we ask the king..." Thinking of the king at that time He might not be willing to agree, so he changed his mind again: "At least, after His Majesty ascends the throne, we can make a request. He has always hoped that the princess can come back."
Alex replied on behalf of the still crying aunt: "My aunt once thought about doing this, but she was discovered by Rosalind when she was writing the letter and was tortured. The lady, probably a person with an extreme personality, thought that If you can't get it yourself, you shouldn't let others get it. She seems to have gone to Fan'a after a big quarrel with her family. Her father almost severed ties with her. She may think that she can't come back, so she also opposes her aunt Come back. After that, she kept preventing her aunt from writing letters home. She also blocked people sent by our family from meeting her aunt on the pretext that her aunt wanted to practice spiritual practice. Therefore, during those few years, her aunt was unable to communicate directly with her family. .”
"What?!" Viscount Mandheling never expected that the truth would be like this. He always thought that his sister cut off contact with the outside world because she was too sad. He was so angry that his hands were shaking: "How dare she... Damn woman!"
Elena wiped away her tears, raised her head and said: "When she was at home, she had learned swordsmanship, and she was stronger than me. I couldn't resist her. Her Highness the Princess had noticed it, but she was deceived. I She kept enduring her torture until she became an official serving saint and followed Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the situation got better. Because of her personality, she was never recognized by the bishops, and her temper became worse and worse. .When the king came to the throne and wrote to the bishop about the princess's abdication, she didn't know what she said to the princess, and the princess refused to return to the country. I was really scared and often avoided her. Although she couldn't be promoted, But she has always been in charge of our food, clothing, housing and transportation. When I write to you, I always have to pass her inspection... She didn't seem to want to go home, so I couldn't come back until she died. Later, I had to stay. Got off..."
She wiped away her tears silently, then forced a smile and said: "Actually, I got used to it later. As I get older, even if I come back, it seems to have become meaningless..."
"How could it be meaningless?!" Viscount Mandheling interrupted her excitedly, "At least you can live with us! Do you want to wait until I die before you go home? You cruel sister!"
He hugged his only limb vigorously and shed tears. Alex was beside him and looked a little sad, and whispered: "Father, my aunt has traveled a long way and is already very tired. Why not let her rest first?"
Only then did Viscount Mandheling let go of his sister, wiped away her tears, and personally sent her to the room he had just tidied up. He was in a mess. Seeing that his youngest son seemed to have something to say, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do. I'm tired."
Alex paused, smiled, and turned to leave.
Viscount Mandheling returned to the room, thinking of the suffering his sister had suffered in the past few decades, and felt extremely sad. Thinking that the daughter of the Heda family was the murderer who caused all this, even the surname Heda became disgusted.
A soft and white arm wrapped around his neck, and the warm fragrant nephrite behind him slightly calmed the resentment in his heart. Turning back, a pair of beautiful purple eyes looked at him tenderly and asked: "What's wrong? You are getting married to Helen tomorrow. Why do you seem so worried?"
"Poppy..." Viscount Mandheling hesitated and then said, "There will be no wedding tomorrow!"
(I’ve been overdoing it lately, sorry, sorry...who still remembers this woman?).
