Chapter 18 Ending Red Dragon Return

It was late at night, and Cesare was sorting out the things that Bea had saved for him under the lamp. Things of value have been confiscated, and all that can be kept are personal items that are of no use to others.In the past three years, he has grown a lot, and the old clothes don't fit anymore, and small accessories such as scarves and cuffs can still come in handy, and the previously used pens can still be used after cleaning the pen cartridges. That inconspicuous-looking ring is actually inlaid with a rare black opal. The nobles knew it, but the raiders didn't know it, so they didn't embezzle it. At least César was present. jewelry for the occasion.

Barely put on the coat of the year, the pen was inserted into the inner pocket, the ring was worn on the left index finger, and the scarf was tied into an Ascot knot according to the habit of the year... He slowly recovered his previous life from these things, The self in the mirror gradually changed into its old self. The person in the mirror is thin and straight, with slender eyebrows.The whole body is only black and white, like the junction of day and night.He is no longer that black goat-like boy. Now if he appears in a social occasion in Fei Leng Cui, the waiter will bow respectfully when he sees him.

"Cesar Borgia, we are back." He whispered to the young nobleman in the mirror, "We have returned to this country that we will destroy together." He picked up a plain pajamas, the pajamas that Adele wore when she was a child, and hung it on the head of the bed in the empty bedroom, with her favorite bear placed on the pillow. He promised that no matter how far his sister goes in this life, he will always leave her a bedroom in his own home, with her pajamas hanging by the bed, her favorite toys on the pillow, and the servants will give her a bedroom every night. Boil the bath water.Whenever and wherever she quarreled with her husband, she could run back to her brother's house to sleep without saying hello to him.

He may be a ruthless person, but what he said seriously is like a promise. The listener may be casual, but he is very serious. At this moment, a black horse broke through the rain at Fort Carondas at the southern end of the city.The gate had already been opened, and the black horse ran to the front door of the living room breathing white gas, and the strong boy jumped off the horse. The master in a white nightgown hurried out and embraced the young man warmly: "Juan! What's wrong? You're all wet! How could your guards let you go out for a horse race alone? What if someone hurts you? "

"Brother Luigi, go in and talk. I just heard something, it's really annoying!" Juan Borgia, 15 years old, frowned fiercely. "Don't worry, if there is anything, I can solve it here." Luigi put his arm around his brother and patted him on the shoulder. Like Canterbury Castle in the past, Carondas Castle is a luxurious residence.The pope's eldest son, Luigi Borgia, is the owner of this residence. This is one of the places where the children of the Emerald family gather daily. The pope's second son, Juan, also lived nearby. Juan was younger than César, but he was the son of his legal wife, so he was counted as the second son.According to religious law, the person elected pope must sever all secular relations, so the pope has divorced his wife, but the son born in marriage is still recognized by law.As for Cesar and Adele, they are not in the name of the Pope.

Because they were born to the same mother, Luigi and Juan are very close, but such late-night visits are rare. When Luigi heard that Juan was coming, he probably guessed that his younger brother was discussing something, so he hurried out meet. The hot air of the black tea dispelled the chill, and Juan's gloomy expression eased a little.The two brothers sat on the same sofa, and Luigi fondled his younger brother's short blond hair.Both brothers have blond hair and sea blue eyes, Luigi is dignified and calm, and Juan is strong and courageous. Juan put the cup on the table: "Brother, do you know? Cesare is back!"

Luigi nodded: "You have eyes and ears, and I have eyes and ears. How come I haven't heard of this kind of thing, and I'm also worried about it." "But our news is slow! César has been back for three months! He has been imprisoned in the prison of the Inquisition Bureau! Today, the Cardinal Council suddenly issued an amnesty, pardoning César's past sins, restoring He has given up his noble status and allowed him to return to Fei Leng Cui!" Juan said angrily. A rare shock appeared on Luigi's calm and composed face. He had just learned that Cesare had returned to Emerald this morning, and the cardinal issued an amnesty in the afternoon.Juan was right, his intelligence was slow.

Luigi is already twenty years old, and has already begun to cultivate his own power.He has a very good friendship with the children of many aristocratic families. They exchange information with each other, and there are friends of him in the Pope's hall.But the intelligence network that has been painstakingly established is so useless, it can only be that the father deliberately blocked the news. The Pope didn't want the outside world to know that his illegitimate son had returned to Feilengcui. The news didn't leak out until the amnesty was issued and the problem was completely resolved.

Father was protecting Cesare, and Luigi and Juan were bothered by it.What did father think of César?This is a knot in Luigi and Juan's heart. It is reasonable to say that an illegitimate child is impossible to be recognized, and it is not worth Luigi and Juan's trouble for him.But the Pope of Iron is ruthless and ignores his legal sons. On the surface, he treats them equally. "Father must still miss that oriental woman! Father was captivated by her beauty!" Juan said through gritted teeth. "Maybe," Luigi said softly. Their mother was also a beautiful aristocratic woman with grace and dignity, which were passed down to the brothers.Only in the matter of "beauty", with Luigi's pride, he had to admit that the mysterious Mrs. Lin Lang was incomparable.

Luigi saw the lady a few times but couldn't remember her face at all, only the faint glow that enveloped her.Such a woman was executed as a heretic, and even Luigi felt it was a pity. "In the next step, father will arrange a place for César. It is possible to become an officer in the Crusader Army or go to the Holy Seminary in Turin for further studies, but brother, you are the eldest son, but father wants to send you to a monastery in the mountains as a monastery Long!" Juan sighed. Last month, an informant inside the Pope's Hall reported that the Pope intends to let Luigi go to an ancient mountain monastery as a trainee dean. Seven days road.

That kind of environment might be a good monastery, but Luigi didn't want to stay away from the bustling world, and Fei Leng Cui was his stage.The title of Son of the Pope sounds good, but it is not so useful in Fei Leng Cui. There are many descendants in this city who can look down on him as the son of the Pope.If Luigi wants to become a big shot, he should stay in Fei Lengzui's social circle so that he can make more allies. For this arrangement, Juan has always complained about his father, and now with the matter of César, he couldn't sit still anymore, and came to discuss with his brother overnight. But Luigi smiled silently, as if he had a plan in mind. "Brother, how can you still laugh?" Juan became anxious, "Ceizer is a wolf, once he gets the upper hand, he will jump up and bite people! I really don't know what father thinks, you He is the heir to the Borgia family! No matter what, César is an illegitimate child!" Luigi poured black tea for his younger brother and spoke to him softly: "Juan, you misunderstood father's intentions." "Why did I misunderstand? Shouldn't father help brother more? Brother, you are already twenty years old! It's the age to be in charge!" Juan stared, "but father wasted his energy on saving Cizer. , What use is César to our family? He has long been abolished!" "Juan, you are young and don't know the rights of priests. The abbot of a monastery in the mountains seems to be a hard job, but it is the most sacred position. This country is still a religious country in the final analysis. I came back from the monastery in the mountains , will definitely be reused, and no matter how hard César tries, he is just serving as a lackey for his father. Didn’t he serve as a secretary for his father back then?” Luigi said with confidence: “Father saved him because he was a lackey or a lackey. it works." "It turns out that my father has already made arrangements!" Juan suddenly realized. Luigi smiled: "In terms of father-son relationship, how can César compare with us? We are a family!" The two brothers stood shoulder to shoulder and drank tea.Their hair is as dazzling as gold, their faces are soft and their eyes are bright, and they can be seen as biological brothers at a glance.In Feilengcui, everyone knew that they were the most promising of the younger generation, and they must be the future pillars of the Papal Kingdom. "Oh! There is another piece of information!" Juan suddenly remembered something, "Adele is engaged to Clayderman of Charlemagne Kingdom! This news has not been announced yet, Adele was sent to Aachen It's too bad you didn't even meet face to face, brother!" Speaking of this, Juan gritted his teeth, and his expression was a bit ferocious: "That damned César, after being expelled, he took Adele with him, as if Adele was his thing! He is so greedy, he doesn't want anything. Snatching from you! Like an underfed dog! Same for power and status! Same for Adele!" When he heard the name "Adele", Luigi trembled, and the black tea in his cup almost splashed out.He tried his best to hold back, but the corners of his eyebrows still twitched a few times, it seemed that there was a blood vessel connected to his heart, beating and beating.He looked at the fireplace, which was burning brightly. Luigi was silent for a moment, and then laughed again, this time with a kind of threatening malice in his smile: "Well, doesn't he want to fight us? Then fight, he has been hiding in the horse for the past three years. We couldn't find him, Ston. Now he's back, coming to us at Blades...it's time for us to say goodbye to Mom!" At this time, in the backyard of the Sistine Chapel, in the small scripture hall with murals from all sides to the ceiling, the slender pipes were on and off, and the old people with silver masks were smoking famous oriental tobacco. Smoke, whispering leisurely. "Is such a result really good? Let the little black goat return to Emerald Cui. If that little guy grows up, he will be no less difficult than Spencer." "Although the noble status has been restored, it is the lowest rank among the nobles. Do you still want to restore the former glory?" "Weighing the pros and cons, this result is the best for us. The Kingdom of Charlemagne got the Princess of Verdun, and the relationship with us has become closer, and the situation can be stabilized. If it wasn't for Princess Verdun who voluntarily served abroad To atone for sin and agree to marry, no one can pry that precious daughter out of Long's hands." "Yes, Long doesn't care about his son's life or death, but he cares about that daughter very much. It is said that he looks a lot like that oriental woman, and Long can't forget her. Her daughter married Charlemagne, and we have another tie Ron's line." "The pope we elected should have been a pawn in our hands, but we have to guard against him instead. If this is the case, it is better to find a new candidate." "There is no need to worry right now. Although Long is ambitious, there is still room for him. Our newly elected people may not be as good as Long." "While selecting a suitable new Pope, continue to observe Long. I am also a little worried about that little black goat. He has all the abilities to become the supreme leader, and now he can still wear the Seraph armor." "It doesn't matter, we have arranged for someone to watch him. The sharp knife is on the back of his neck, but he doesn't know it yet." An old man shook his pipe gently, "Let him in." A black figure silently appeared in front of the cardinals, with long blond hair, a pale face, an oriental-style saber, and the rank of colonel on his shoulder.In front of the vast majority of people, he was already a high-ranking officer, a big man in the military circle, but in front of this group of old people, he was not qualified to sit down, so he could only bow slightly and wait for instructions in the manner of a waiter. "You did a good job today, Deputy Director Li Xini." "The Bureau of Heresy is directly ordered by the cardinal. To execute the orders of the adults is my highest standard as the first deputy director." Li Xini held his head high and put his hands on his chest. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve." "I hope you understand why we're going through your hand to get that boy." "That boy is of great significance for us to restore Seraph, but he may also become our trouble. We must use him and restrict him, so we cannot directly give him an amnesty." "Yes, we want to use his value, but we can't let him know that he is very important to us." The old man said slowly, "We can't take him lightly, and he can be discarded as a chess piece when necessary." We hope that someone will always watch his back, you are the most suitable candidate, you have all the resources of the Inquisition Bureau, and you are still a god-given knight like him." "I will do it well. Your Excellency means that if necessary, I have the power to execute him by myself, is that so?" "yes" Carrying a glass lantern, Beau walked through the long corridors of Fort Canterbury, inspecting each room in turn.She was wearing a plain white silk nightgown with a very high slit on the right side of the nightgown. The gun holster was tied to her right thigh, and the large-caliber short-barreled firecracker was stuck inside. The workers were simply tinkering, and there were still many windows and doors that could not be closed securely, so Bier added the work of patrolling at night to herself.With Cesare back, Fort Canterbury is no longer an unclaimed land, and someone must guard this territory.Her marksmanship can't be said to be very good, but it's not bad either. The secretarial major of Turin Seminary also teaches basic sword skills and firearm skills. The long screens fluttered in the night wind, the drizzle poured in from the broken windows and hit the marble floor, and the sound of Beer's own high-heeled shoes echoed in the corridor... She was a little scared, always feeling that there was another footstep The sound followed, but fortunately only the last few rooms were to be inspected, the most important of which was the rotunda, which extended in all directions and was regarded as the "strategic location" of Fort Canterbury. She pushed away the doors of the rotunda, and at this moment a bolt of lightning fell vertically on the Tiber River, the dark hall was illuminated, and the black figure was sitting on the huge sofa chair in the center of the hall, wearing white gloves. With his hands crossed in front of his face, his pupils reflected electric light, bright and ferocious. There are windows in all directions, and the several-meter-long window screens tremble in the wind and rain, as if a painful dragon snake wants to break through the clouds and fly out!Bi'er's heart almost stopped beating under the majestic prestige! Without thinking, Bi'er drew out the short gun, clenched both hands, and pointed at the shadow. "Hi." Black Shadow said softly. The second bolt of lightning fell at this moment, and Bea finally saw clearly that it was César. He was wearing a black military uniform, a red armband, a silver major collar patch on his neckline, and heavy iron rings on the outside of his gloves. In an instant, that dangerous boy came back, the former Red Dragon, the comrade-in-arms of the Knight King Dragon Destedt, the real Destroyer of Ceylon... He never left, but was sleeping in the body of a certain Marston boy, waiting to be rehabilitated The coming day. "Cesselle... my lord." Beer murmured with the muzzle of the gun hanging by her side, her gaze a little dull. "I found this military uniform in the previous stuff, and I could still put it on, so I tried it." Sizer said lightly, "I think my enemies already know the news of my return at this moment, They are discussing, discussing how to attack, I have fallen a lot these years, and I have to recover as soon as possible, so I came here, trying to get back... the posture of the person in power." "Cesar... my lord..." Bi'er was still a little dazed. When César claimed that he was still "the César back then", Beer didn't believe it, but felt that he still needed some time to adjust.Back then, César was a terrible abyss, a "little black goat" that even the cardinals didn't like. You must know that the high-ranking cardinals rarely dislike someone. If you don't like someone, you must first clearly say aware of his presence. It takes a while for the boy back from Marston to go back to the abyss, let alone one who just parted with his sister. But a few hours later, César seems to have regained his original self. At this moment, his tone of voice seems to be a commander giving orders, and the abyss is answering your call with an echo. "Belle," César called to her. Bi'er suddenly woke up, lifted the skirt of her nightgown and bowed her knees: "What else do you want, sir?" "Night watch is not something that girls do in the first place, let's avoid it. Also, even if you watch night, you don't have to dress like this..." César looked away. After two or three seconds of silence, Bier let out a cry of surprise, covered her bare shoulders with one hand, and held the hem of her nightgown to cover her proud long legs with the other. She took a few steps back and flashed out of the rotunda , and slammed the door shut. There is almost nothing the headmaid of Canterbury Castle can’t do, whether it’s a cook or a secretary, but things like night watch... long hair loose, silk nightgown with high slits, stiletto shoes... If you are caught When the thief saw Bi'er dressed up like this, he should think that she was the most worth stealing thing in this dilapidated building.
