Xia Zuoyi is very good when drunk, neither angry nor crazy.
He just wanted to go to sleep, the dazed feeling of someone holding him for a while, followed by the comforting soft touch.
His sleepiness deepened.
A night without dreams.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sun came in from the window and became stronger, Xia Zuoyi's consciousness was slowly awakening.
He turned over, as if he was pulling something in his hand, and then heard someone hiss softly.
Huh
who is it? !
Xia Zuoyi opened his eyes suddenly and woke up - there was a person lying beside him, the Pope.
Segalot was lying beside him at this moment, resting his head in one hand and wearing the loose black robe that was passed down last night.
But now the collar of the black robe is open, revealing half of the white chest and…
cough…
Xia Zoe's ears turned slightly red, and she silently looked away.
He whispered, "Your Majesty... why are you in my bed?"
Shared bed for the second time.
Could it be that... he was drunk and dragged people up last night? !
Thinking of this, Xia Zuoyi planned to sit up.
But just as his arms moved to prop up his body, he heard the Pope hiss again, and at the same time, his body also leaned forward in his direction—
Xia Zuoyi lay down before sitting up.
Segalot leaned over him with his arm in one hand, while the other hand grabbed his wrist and chuckled, "Stop moving, look at your hand."
Xia Zuoyi blinked and turned his head—Oh Huo.
How the hell did he sleep last night
Why are so many Pope's hair tangled between their fingers
—Several strands of hair were unknowingly held in his palms and between his fingers…
Xia Zuoyi pursed her lips embarrassedly.
He moved his fingers, the tangled hair began to loosen, and it slipped down little by little along the palm of his hand, and the slight itch seemed to be quietly entering his heart...
Segalot hadn't gotten up yet, and his golden eyes were staring at the person below him.
After a while, when Xia Zuoyi started to get a little nervous, Segalot reached out and rubbed his hair and said, "Next time, don't drink when I'm not here."
"Um?"
Xia Zuoyi snorted suspiciously, but nodded and said, "I don't usually drink much... Yesterday, I was happy... "
So I drank a little more.
"Um."
Segalot curled his lips and smiled, and at the same time moved his body away: "Get up."
"it is good."
Judit used to come into the house to bring toiletries for Xia Zoe.
However, today he did not expect to see another person in the Lord's room.
Xia Zuoyi looked at his puzzled expression and said, "Last night, I was drunk, Your Majesty took me back to the room..."
Um... Is he the one who is holding him back
"Yes, Lord, then I will bring another set of toiletries for His Majesty the Pope."
After Judit finished speaking, he turned to Segalot: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Segalot nodded.
…
After the two washed up and dressed neatly, they went to ask for breakfast.
During the period, Xia Zuoyi asked about the establishment of the orphanage in the Saint Air Empire: "Your Majesty, you said last night that the orphanage in the Imperial City was completely built, didn't you?"
Segallot nodded: "That's right."
Xia Zuoyi: "It just so happens that the medical team I am planning to set up will go to various places to promote medical knowledge, treat patients by the way, and popularize some common-sense knowledge about medicine."
"I want them to enter the newly established orphanage of the Empire, to check the health of those children and see a doctor for free..."
Segalot: "Okay, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible."
Prince Warner naturally knew about the establishment of an orphanage in the Saint Air Empire.
But this matter was handled by the Pope himself, and even the royal family could not interfere at will.
Warner is watching.
He was thinking that the Pope is still in the territory of Desinia, and he has not returned yet.
What's more, the Holy See even sent an archbishop to the Desinia territory...
He could not guess what the Pope meant.
But the establishment of orphanages in the Empire may have something to do with Lord Desinia.
After all... the orphanage was established in the name of both the Pope and the Lord of Desinia.
- Now, it is estimated that the people of the entire King City, no, and even most of the entire Saint Air Empire are singing and praising them.
It is only natural that the Pope should be respected and admired.
He is honored and surrounded by the halo of being favored by the God of Creation... He has always been the place of faith in the hearts of the church and the people.
The people of the Saint Air Empire praised the Pope, and Warner did not reject it.
But now they're praising the ruler of another place... That touches on some of Warner's sensibilities.
Especially after the end of the Black Death epidemic, many people have regarded Desinia as a holy person who saved them, an envoy appointed by the God of Creation...
Various statements vary.
But without exception, Desinia's prestige almost surpassed those in power in the Saint Air Empire and everywhere.
Warner used to have a vague sense of it, until he was in the palm of his hand, just a short distance from sitting in the highest position...
But it was enough for him to see clearly.
— Xia Zoe Designia.
This man, in Warner's eyes, is more "dangerous" than Powell's king, Gena Cosmo.
To a certain extent, Warners didn't want to fight him if they could.
…
After the news of the establishment of an orphanage in the royal city of the Saint Airo Empire spread, the Holy Church also began to follow the Pope's will to search for orphaned children in the royal city and take them to the orphanage for settlement.
However, the Holy Church always takes into account the incompleteness.
So the cardinal released the news that all underage children can come to live in the orphanage.
Not only that.
Not just underage children.
Young people who are adults but do not have the ability to take care of themselves for the time being, or who have lost their family members or have been displaced can also come to the orphanage to live temporarily.
But the time limit is only three months, and if you want to continue living after that, you will have to pay fees and so on.
Jack was one of the orphans who heard the news first.
He has two younger brothers to take care of because his parents and family all died in the previous Black Death epidemic.
But Jack was a child himself.
His ability is limited, even if he was rescued by the rescue station established by the Thorns Chamber of Commerce before, but this cannot be sustained for a long time.
What's more, the place where Jack and his two younger brothers lived had already been bought and occupied.
He had no way to protect him, and could only take them away while protecting his two younger brothers.
It didn't get too bad.
Jack knew several people who were also orphaned when he burned the bodies of those who had died from the Black Death for quarantine.
They helped him and his brothers settle in the ghetto for now.
Now, news of the establishment of the orphanage has come, and Jack plans to go there with his two younger brothers.
But his friends hesitated.
"We, can we really go?" One of the teenagers, about twelve or thirteen years old, said.
He is about to become an adult, but he has not received any education since he was a child.
Because he had no family since he was born, he was picked up by an old man in the slum.
The old man also died in the Black Death epidemic, and the young man was lucky to survive.
He was wearing clothes that didn't fit well, with holes in them, sallow skin, and a thin build that looked like a child under ten.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he felt inferior in his heart, and he didn't dare to go.
"go!"
Jack said: "That orphanage was built by the Lord of Desinia and the Pope especially for children without families. It was a good deed."
"Didn't you listen to the propagandists?"
"Even adult children can live in orphanages temporarily until they are unable to support themselves."
"They said they could work for us in some places and I wanted to make money."
The young man was still hesitant: "How can such a good thing happen..."
The boy didn't believe it, but Jack insisted on going to the orphanage to have a look.
In the end, Jack's insistence was justified - they settled in the orphanage, and soon changed into new clothes and ate steaming meals.
It was like a dream for a teenager.
Maybe he hasn't woken up yet.
After the boy said this to Jack, Jack pinched his arm... Hiss, it hurts.
After the younger brothers had a safe place to live, Jack was relieved.
He was going to find a job to earn money, but before he left the orphanage, a group of people arrived.
These people are from the Territory of Desinia, and they came to the Empire under the order of the Lord of Desinia to promote medical knowledge, popularize medical knowledge, etc.
In addition, they will also check the health of the children in the orphanage for free.
If you encounter a patient, you will treat it and leave some medicine afterward...
But more than that.
Because Jack heard them chatting with the person in charge of the orphanage once, saying that he hoped to recruit a group of young people who are willing to take the initiative to live in the Desinia territory before leaving.
After the news was released by the Holy Church, the number of people coming and going in the orphanage greatly increased, and many of them were adults who wanted to live here.
They need the head of the orphanage to help spread the word.
The person in charge naturally agreed.
- To live in the Territory of Desinia? !
Jack really wants to go. He not only wants to live in the territory of Desinia, but also very much wants to meet the lord of Desinia...
Although, he didn't know whether this extravagant wish could be realized.
The Territory of Desinia is the closest place to the Lord…
Jack was distracted by the news.
In the evening, he talked with his two younger brothers.
Early the next morning, he plucked up the courage to go to the person who had examined them before.
"I, I can endure all kinds of hardships, and do all kinds of work... Can you, can you also take me and my brothers away... "
After speaking, Jack lowered his head blushing and clenched the corner of his shirt tightly.
Because he realized that he was a little impulsive.
It's embarrassing and ashamed at the moment... Why should people take him away? It's too self-aware.
Who knows that the man said after a while in surprise: "Are you willing to leave the Saint Air Empire and live in the territory?"
"Yes, it is!"
Jack raised his head suddenly and answered loudly.
The man whispered: "Lord Lord has also explained before that you can take the child back to settle down, which will save trouble..."
What Jack heard was incomplete.
- In addition to recruiting adults, Xia Zoe also gave a mission, that is, to select some orphans who are willing to stay in the Desinia territory and bring them back.
The man wanted to do this after recruiting adults, but he didn't expect Jack to come here.
He said, "Yes, but you have to do one thing for me."
"What's the matter?" Jack said hurriedly.
"Help me ask how many children in this orphanage would be willing to travel to and live in Desinia."
…
Ten days later, a group of adults who had been recruited were sent away, and a fleet returned to Desinia with many children.
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Do I still have the bad habit of scratching other people's hair when I'm drunk
Pope: I went around it myself.
Xia Xia: Are you free
Pope: Well, you can't just watch... but it's not just idle time.
good night~
