This winter seems determined not to make people feel better.
Wind, snow, frost... After a few days of fine weather, a new round of bad weather followed, which had a serious impact on people's lives.
Even when Xia Zoe was well prepared, some parts of the Desinia territory also organized activities to clean up snow disasters and delivered a lot of relief materials.
This is still the case in the Desinia territory, not to mention other small countries and territories.
This winter, even the news is blocked.
People have never felt that the whole winter is so long--frugal, sometimes not enough coal or firewood to burn the fire.
Fortunately, winter will eventually pass.
After realizing that a little bit of spring had finally emerged, people everywhere could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, the snow and ice on the river melted completely, the road was able to pass, and the traffic between them began to recover gradually.
- News about other countries slowly spread to the Territory of Desinia.
Especially with regards to what's going on in the Empire of Saint Air this winter.
—Whether nobles, commoners or slaves, the people of the Saint Air Empire suffered countless casualties this winter, freezing to death, starving to death…
Nobles lost their lives as civilians and slaves rioted.
Civilians and slaves died as the riots failed and were suppressed.
In the empire, many territories lost their lords.
However, these territories were not inherited by the relevant next heirs, but were taken back by the king.
By the time the rest of the nobles sensed that something was wrong, the king had completed his deployment.
- Cavalry is always intimidating in the territory, and nobles dare not act rashly.
…
After listening to Fernandi's report, Xia Zoe said, "So, Warner Gales has taken over most of the territories in the Saint Air Empire, including the rights in the hands of some nobles?"
"Yes, lord." Fernandi nodded.
"I think this matter should have been secretly opposed by many people... Even if these nobles noticed it too late, they should not have done nothing at all."
Fernandi said: "The king of the Saint Air Empire took back some territories, but he attracted another group of nobles..."
"There's also news that the king is going to marry Gary Phoebe's daughter."
"Cough cough."
Xia Zuoyi was shocked by the news.
Isn't Cary Phoebe's daughter Samuel Phoebe? !
How come a winter has passed, and the male protagonist in the original book is about to marry the female protagonist...
Did he miss the plot where the two met and fell in love? !
Xia Zuoyi glanced at the plot deviation value at the upper right of the system interface, and was still stuck at 92% without moving.
"Is this news true?"
Fernandi said: "It should be true."
"Lord, this news came back from the branch of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in the Empire..."
The report was completed, and Fernandi retired.
Xia Zoe pondered for a while about this sudden news.
After thinking about it, he began to recall the plot in the original book - as Mary Su, besides the male lead, the female lead naturally has many other suitors.
The main male supporting character, Gena Cosmo, is one of them.
A few other important male characters.
One was the son of the Marquis of the Saint Airo Empire, the other was the son of the Duke of the Anas Empire, and the other was a tribal leader from the faraway Kadi tribe.
Although the Anas Empire has been split into the Akiyayoli Domain and the Anas Kingdom, the Duke's son is still there.
And his father is the Duke of Rens of Anas Kingdom.
After the avalanche occurred in Powell, various places began to fall into battle.
The follow-up plot in the original book also gradually unfolds, and the leader of the Kadi tribe will come to the San Airo Empire shortly after.
The existence of this tribal leader is one of the important tools to promote the emotional development of the male and female protagonists in the original book.
But now these important tool people are not online yet, the male and female protagonists in the original book are about to get married? !
Why does he feel that after a winter, he doesn't know the outside world anymore...
However, the "unrecognizable" plot in the original book also made Xia Zuoyi feel relieved.
…
After that, when the green grass tip emerged from the ground, the exact news finally came.
- His Majesty the King of the Empire of Saint Air will marry Samuel Phoebe, the daughter of the Marquis of Galli, in two months' time.
At that time, the cardinal of the Holy Church will personally preside over the prayers for the two of them under the witness of the God of Creation.
at the same time.
The wedding invitations from the Saint Air Empire were also sent to the kings or lords of each small country.
Xia Zuoyi naturally also received this wedding invitation.
Segalot also has one.
Xia Zoe decided to go to the Saint Air Empire.
One is because he learned that Burali, the tribal leader of the Kadi tribe, will arrive in the Empire, and the other is to build a second Holy Church in the Territory of Desinia.
Xia Zoe hoped that the second established Holy Church could gradually replace the first.
Among them, important clergy are indispensable.
What's more... If he wants to seriously consider the relationship between himself and the Pope, the center of the Holy See must not exist in the royal city of the Saint Air Empire...
Since the lakeside... Although he no longer avoided the Pope, he has not given an answer.
Now, the relationship between the two is in a hazy and ambiguous stage.
Xia Zuoyi admitted that he would be embarrassed when his heart beat faster and his face blushed when facing His Holiness the Pope.
But if the deviation of the plot does not reach 100% in one day, he feels that there is no guarantee for anything...
After all, 098 once said that the plot deviation value is not fixed.
If something unexpected happens, the plot turns back to the original line again, and his final fate is still difficult to rewrite.
Fortunately, the Pope did not press on after that.
As he said, as long as he doesn't hide, he can wait.
…
After Xia Zoe, the Pope, and others arrived in the Saint Air Empire, they were personally received by the second prince, Ken, who is now named Prince.
They were still accommodated in the Sheli Hall.
At the same time, Bishazoe came to the Shire Hall first, as well as Archduke Orville and Archibald Cavendish who had not met in winter.
Compared with the introverted grand duke, Archibald gave Xia Zoe a tight hug when they first met.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Archibald whispered in Xia Zoe's ear, "Did you miss me?"
Xia Zuoyi: "... I do remember His Royal Highness."
Archibald let go of him, his deep green eyes seemed to be soaked in the cold lake water, and then showed a little ripple: "I haven't seen you in a winter, call me so unfamiliar."
"Archie." Xia Zuoyi smiled.
Archibald rubbed his head as before.
Over there, Orville said, "Why didn't I see Gun Gun."
This one is also, after a winter, still thinking about pandas.
Xia Zoe: "There is no fresh bamboo in the Saint Air Empire, and Tumblr is lazy and doesn't like to go out..."
He only brought egg yolks, brown sugar, ice cream, egg yolks and green balls.
The briquettes, snow balls and rice cakes were all left in the castle, and the dumplings were still on their way back from other seas.
"After the wedding, I will go back to Desinia with you." Orville said.
"it is good."
Xia Zoe has no opinion.
As it happens, he also has something to discuss with Orville and Archibald, about new crops, cotton planting, etc...
So, before Archibald could speak, Xia Zoe invited him.
A smile appeared on the corner of Archibald's mouth: "Of course I will."
Segalot stood in the back, watching them chatting with a cold eye, his golden eyes were deep, and although there was nothing on his face, the air pressure around him had dropped significantly.
Xia Zuoyi was sensitively aware.
He turned around, picked up Segalot's hand naturally and said, "Your Majesty, aren't we going back to the Holy Church today, let's go together."
The Pope does not like to wear hats or gloves.
Although winter has passed, the coldness of early spring still exists.
The palm that Xia Zuoyi picked up was as cold as jade.
He habitually took out a pair of gloves from his arms, and while asking the Pope to help him hold one, he put the other glove on his cold palm.
"Can't you put on your gloves properly?" Xia Zuoyi said dissatisfied.
Segalot lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Well, next time definitely."
Along the way, these are several next times.
Xia Zuoyi had to say that he was arrogant and arrogant, and he dared to stare at the Pope openly.
After saying goodbye to Orville and Archibald, he and Segalot temporarily left the Shery Hall and went to the Holy Church.
After the two left, Archibald stood still.
He didn't know when his brows were wrinkled, and the lake-green eyes became deeper and deeper, and he whispered, "The relationship between little Zooey and the Pope... Has something changed."
Orville was staring at the fluffy people walking upstairs in a line behind Valk at the moment. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze and asked, "Where has it changed?"
Archibald: "Didn't you see just now...they...they got better."
He didn't know how to express Orville on a deeper level.
Orville's expression became more puzzled: "Is it strange that it has changed?"
"… "
Archibald finally sighed: "Forget it, I don't understand it with you."
Orville: "If you don't beat around the bush, I'll understand."
"Some things can't be said directly, but you can understand them yourself."
"Then there is something wrong with your expression."
"… "
In the end, Archibald decided not to talk nonsense with this person who probably only had fluff in his heart, and turned away.
Holy Church.
However, Xia Zuoyi was not able to enter with the Pope.
- He met a man outside the door of the Holy Church and was stopped.
"Lord Desinia, can I, can I talk to you alone for a while?" Samuel summoned his courage.
Xia Zuoyi looked at the shy Mistress Mary Su, silently holding back the steps she wanted to step back, and said without wavering: "If Miss Phoebe has something to say, it's better to say it directly here."
People come and go.
Although they didn't stop by their side, there were a lot of people who were secretly paying attention to this Marquis, who had long been married to His Majesty the King.
Today, a marquise, who is going to marry the king, stands at the door of the Holy Church with Lord Desinia...
Such a scene has attracted many people's curiosity or observation.
Xia Zoey felt strange in her heart.
He has never had any interaction with the heroine in the original book, and he doesn't know what the matter is when the heroine of Mary Sue stops him now.
Samuel burst into tears without warning.
She seemed to use great courage to speak: "I, marrying the king is not my will, and I can only obey my father's arrangement..."
"But if you don't say something, it will be a lifetime regret..."
"Lord Desinia, I, I have always admired you!"
After speaking, the hostess ran away.
Xia Zoe stayed in place: "..."
The author has something to say: Archibald: I never talk to fools again.
Orville: I really don't understand fools talking.
Segalot: Two fools.
Xia Xia: …
