Chapter 18 Blood Stained——The Story of 1589-1

(Translated by Li Xiong) This is the name given to the story by a Spanish poet.He adapted it into a tragedy.The poet's imagination tried to embellish the tragic picture of the interior of the abbey with some decorative devices, but I avoided it.This kind of fiction can indeed add interest in many places, but I have been true to my creative purpose, which is to make people understand the simple and sentimental people of the fifteenth century.It was from those people that modern civilization developed.I have written the story as it is, without any embellishments, and the reader may, with a little effort, consult it in some diocesan archive.Various original documents and interesting accounts of the Earl of Biedermont are preserved there.

In a city in Tuscany (I will not name it), there was a monstrous and magnificent monastery in 1589, the building still stands.Its dark walls, at least fifty feet high, gave an air of gloom to the whole block; three sides faced the street.There is also a garden facing the monastery, which extends to the root of the city.The garden walls are low.This monastery, which we call St. Libarada, accepts only the daughters of great noble families.On October 20, 1587, a hundred bells rang in unison in the monastery.In the church that is open to believers, luxurious brocades are hung. The brocade is trimmed with golden tassels.The Sister St. Virgelia, mistress of the new Grand Duke Fidelone I of Tuscany, had been appointed Abbot of the Monastery of St. Ribarra the night before.On this day, the bishop of the city, accompanied by priests, went to preside over her inauguration ceremony.The whole city boiled up.The streets near the Monastery of St. Libarada were crowded with people.

Cardinal Fideland de' Medici had recently succeeded his brother François, but he did not take off the cardinal's mantle.He was thirty-six years old and had been elected a cardinal since he was eleven.He has been in this dignified chair for twenty-five years.His brother François's love affair with Piyanga Capullo is still familiar to this day.He has a weak personality, is obsessed with women, and has done all kinds of ridiculous things during his reign.And Fidelan also has a weakness similar to his brother.His love affair with Sister Vergelia, who was dedicated to God, is also well known in Tuscany.But it should be stated that their relationship is so famous mainly because of its innocence.The Grand Duke François was melancholy, irascible, and sentimental, and did not care much about the scandals he caused with promiscuity.As for Sister Virgilia, the locals talked a lot about her noble character.The order of nuns to which she belonged allowed her to spend about two-thirds of the year at her parents' home.When Cardinal Fertiland was in Florence, she saw him every day.In the love of a young, rich, omnipotent prince who can imitate his elder brother, there are two things that astonish this pleasure-loving city: Sister Virgilia is gentle, shy, and intelligent, but not at all beautiful; The great cardinal met her, always in the presence of two or three ladies of the noble Lepcio family.

His mistress belonged to the family. Grand Duke François died on the night of October 19, 1587.On the morning of October 20, the largest nobleman and the richest wholesaler in the court (the Medici family was originally a merchant, their relatives and the most influential figures in the court were still doing business, which made them a little less contemporary. courtiers) went to Sister Virglia's modest house, much to her amazement. The new Grand Duke Fidelan wanted to be an enlightened, rational, and beneficial monarch to the happiness of his subjects.In particular, he wanted to put an end to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks existing in the court.After he took office, he learned that the richest nunnery in the country, which is what we call the Monastery of St. Libarada (the great nobles sent their daughters here to cultivate themselves in order to honor the lintel) has no dean, so he immediately let him A beloved woman holds this position.

The Monastery of San Libarada belongs to the Order of San Benoit.The association stipulates that nuns are not allowed to leave the monastery gate.To the good people of Florence it was a surprise that the Cardinal Sovereign did not come to see the new Abbot; on the other hand, from his conspicuous prudence, he never met alone with any woman.He was reprimanded by all the ladies of the court for this.After the courtiers knew the principle of the monarch, they paid attention to Sister Virgilia in the monastery.They found that, despite her great modesty and virtue, she cared about the behavior of the new monarch.

The Monastery of St. Ribarada often had some very tricky things to deal with.Those nuns were born in the richest families in Florence. They were nostalgic for the colorful outside world, unwilling to leave the bustling city that was the commercial center of Europe at that time, and deplored everything they were deprived of.They protested violently against their parents' injustice.Sometimes they have to find solace in love.And so hatred arose in the monastery.The nuns were hostile to each other, which disturbed the upper class of Florence.As a result of these events, the abbot of the monastery of St. Libarada often requested an audience with the reigning Grand Duke.In order to observe as much as possible the canons of St. Benoit, the sovereign sent the abbot a magnificent carriage, in which two maids of honor sat, and accompanied the abbot all the way to the audience hall of the palace on the avenue.Two court ladies, known as the Witnesses of the Forbidden Area, sat on chairs by the door.

The Abbot went alone to meet the Sovereign who was waiting at the other end of the hall.In this way, the two maids could not hear the conversation between them. On several occasions the Prince visited the chapel of the Monastery of St. Libarada.Someone opened the grating door of the altar, allowing the Abbot to talk to the Sovereign. The monarch felt that these two ways of meeting were inappropriate.For they might revive his affections which would have been lukewarm.However, some annoyances soon appeared in the Monastery of St. Libarada.Sister Philippe de Amelie's love affair disturbs the tranquility of the convent.Her family was one of the richest and most powerful families in Florence.In order to satisfy the vanity of the three sons, the parents sacrificed their daughter Philips.Later, two of the three brothers died, and the third had no children. The family thought it was a punishment from heaven.Notwithstanding Philip's vow of poverty, the mother and surviving brother returned to her, in the form of gifts, the share of the property which had been taken from her to satisfy their vanity.

At that time there were forty-three nuns in the Convent of St. Ribarada.Each nun has her own maid.The maids came from poor noble families, were fed second-class food, and were paid a month's pocket money by the monastery treasury.But according to a special custom that affects the stability of the monastery, the valet can only be kept until the age of thirty.At this age they are either married or become nuns in lower convents. The nuns of the noble family of St. Libarada can have five maids, but Philips asked for eight.Fifteen or half a dozen of the monastery's supposedly amorous women supported Philips' request, while the other twenty-six appeared to be indignant and threatened to appeal to the sovereign to intervene.

The good Sister Virgilia, the new Superior, is far from capable of solving such serious problems.Both parties then asked her to submit the matter to the Sovereign. In the court, friends of Amelie's family spread rumors in the palace, saying that Philips was born noble and had been wronged by the family. Now it is strange that someone prevents her from using her property, and using it innocently.Families of older or less well-to-do nuns countered that it was the real oddity that a nun who had sworn to live in poverty was not satisfied with five maids. The Grand Duke wanted to cut through the matter quickly, as it might cause confusion in the city.The ministers advised him to summon the abbot of the monastery of St. Ribarada.In view of the high moral character and virtuous character of this nun, she may be reluctant to turn her attention from the great affairs of heaven to these trivial matters, so the courtiers advised the sovereign to announce a decision to her to carry out.

The Grand Duke thought rationally: "If I don't understand the reasons that both parties have to present, how can I make this decision?" In addition, there is not enough reason, and he does not want to be the enemy of the most powerful Amelie family. The Prince regards the Earl of Biedermont as a close friend.He was thirty-five years old, one year younger than the prince. They had met in the cradle and were raised by the same nurse.She was a well-to-do farmer's woman from Cajundello; she was very pretty.Biedermont was very noble and wealthy, and one of the handsomest men in town.However, he is indifferent by nature and has nothing to do with the world.On the day the Archduke Fertiland arrived in Florence, he was invited to be prime minister, but he declined.

The count said to the Grand Duke: "If I were you, I would give up immediately. Think about it, I became prime minister, didn't I want to make half of the people in the city hate me? I still want to live here for the rest of my life." The dispute at the monastery of St. Libarada caused the king trouble in the palace, and he wanted to ask the count for help.The count lives on his estate, which he cultivates meticulously.He spends two hours a day hunting or fishing, depending on the season.No one ever saw him have a mistress.He was not pleased to receive a letter from the prince inviting him to Florence.When the prince made it clear to him that he was going to be sent to manage the aristocratic monastery of St. Libarada, he was even more unhappy. He said to the monarch: "You must know that I would rather be Prime Minister of Your Highness than do this kind of thing. I want peace. Tell me to go among those crazy ewes. What do you want me to do?" What about the day?" "My friend, I think of you because I know that there is no woman who can occupy your heart for a whole day. I am not so blessed. My brother and Piyanga Capullo's nonsense, I just Will reenact them." The prince spoke his mind here, and he wanted to convince his friend with it. "You must know," he said to the count, "that I shall not be able to restrain myself when I shall see that sweet girl whom I have appointed abbot." The count said to him: "What's wrong with that? If a mistress can make you feel happy, why don't you go for it? I don't have any women around me, because I don't know them for three days, and I hate them. Sihe's mother-in-law's character." The Grand Duke said to him: "I am a cardinal. The Pope considers me to have the throne and allows me to give up this position and marry. But I don't want to suffer in hell. If I want to marry, I will marry someone I don't love at all. woman. It is my heir to the throne that I ask of her, not the usual conjugal bliss." The count replied: "I have nothing to say about this. But I don't believe that the Almighty God cares about such trivial matters. You only need to make your subjects happy and make them decent gentlemen. It doesn't matter if you have thirty-six mistresses." The prince argued with a smile: "I don't want any of them. I will feel very embarrassed if I want to see the dean of the St. Ribarada Monastery again. She is the best woman in the world, but she lacks leadership skills the most. Don't say a A convent full of young girls of the upper class who are forced into it cannot be managed well by a group of mature and pious women." The prince was afraid of seeing Sister Virgilia, which moved the count very much.The count thought: "When the Pope allows him to marry, if he doesn't make up his mind, he will be restless for the rest of his life." The next day, the count came to the Monastery of St. Ribarada.The nuns received the Prince's representative with astonishment and decency.Before him, Fertiland had sent one of his ministers to announce to the abbot and the nuns that the Prince was too busy with state affairs to be distracted from the management of the monastery, and that from now on he would give full power to the Earl of Biedermont.The earl's decision will be the most authoritative decision, and no one is allowed to change it. After meeting with the kind dean, the earl was quite disapproving of the prince's aesthetics.The dean has little knowledge, let alone beauty.The count also thought it bad for the nun to prevent Philips from adding two maids.He sent for Philips to the drawing-room, and Philip's rude reply, that she had no time, aroused the count's interest.Originally, he was still bored with this errand, regretting that he should not have easily agreed to the prince. The count said he would speak to Philip himself, and to her maid.He sent someone to notify the five maids, and three came.In the name of their master, they said, the other two were to stay with her and serve.The count then, using the power of the prince's representative, sent two of his men to the abbey, and brought before him the two disobedient maids.For an hour the count listened with delight to the chatter of the five pretty girls.Most of the time they are you talking to each other.From their unintentional revelations, the prince's representative almost understood the inside story of the monastery.There were five or six elderly nuns in the convent, and a score or so who were young but pious.The other girls were young and pretty, and had lovers in the city.It stands to reason that it is difficult for them to meet their lovers. But they do have frequent trysts with their lovers.By what means?This point, the count did not want to question Philip's maid, he would soon find out by placing some eyes and ears around the abbey. The earl was surprised to hear that the nuns also had affairs with each other, and some resentment and internal disputes were caused by this.For example, Philips and Lordran are good friends. Besides Philips, Celia is the most beautiful girl in the monastery.She has a very close relationship with Huapina.They all have their own personal maids, and they also have different degrees of favor.Madonna, the dean's personal maid, kneels beside her master and prays for five or six hours every day.He appeared to be more devout than his master, so he won the dean's trust.However, some maids said that she also felt that the kneeling time was a little longer. The count also learned that two young men named Rodley and Langsilo were the lovers of Philips and Lordran respectively.He also didn't want to ask others directly about this matter. He talked with these maids, and the time seemed to pass quickly, but Philips felt that they had been away for a long time.The prince's representative called all five of her maids away. She felt that her dignity had been trampled on and could not be tolerated.She heard the conversation in the distant reception room, so she couldn't help rushing there.Although she knew that the rashness of breaking into the reception room after refusing the invitation of the Prince's representative would make her look ridiculous. "I'm going to have to crush this self-important guy hard," thought the haughty Philips.She rushed into the drawing room, barely greeted the Prince's representative, and ordered one of her maids to follow her. "Miss, if this girl leaves with you, I will send someone to bring her to me again immediately." "I'll lead her away, your people dare to snatch her away?" "My men will bring her with you." "I?" "It's you. If I see fit, I'll take you from here to some small, poor monastery in the Apennines. I can do this, and quite a few other things." The count noticed that the five maids were pale, and Philips's face had lost its color, but it made her even more beautiful. "This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life," thought the Count. "This conversation must go on." This conversation lasted for three quarters of an hour.Philips displayed reason and a haughty character which especially amused the Prince's representative.In the end, her tone of voice softened, and the count felt that she was not as beautiful as before. The count thought: "She must be provoked." So he said that although she showed a willingness to obey now, one day in the future, when he came to the monastery to deliver the prince's decree, if she dared to disobey, he would still send her to the monastery. Sent to the most difficult monastery in the Apennines for six months of atonement. Hearing this, Philips really became angry again.She told him that the martyrs had always been tortured by the Roman emperors. "Miss, I'm not the emperor. Besides, with five such lovely girls serving as maids, no martyr will add two more to disturb the peace of society." He nodded to her coldly, and left without waiting for her to respond, which made her very angry. The count did not go to the country.He was staying in Florence to see what was going to happen at the Abbey of San Barratta.The Grand Duke's police department sent him several detectives.He placed them around the monastery and gardens, and near the gate to Fiesol.The detective quickly got him all he needed to know.Rodley, one of the richest and most glamorous youths in town, is Philip's lover; and her intimate friend, the gentle Lordran, is in love with Launcelot.Launcelot performed very well in Florence's war against Pisa.These young men had to overcome many difficulties before they could sneak into the monastery.After Fertiland came to the throne, the management was stricter, or rather, all the original licenses were cancelled.Dean Virgilia wanted everyone to strictly observe discipline, but she couldn't do what she wanted. The spies also told him that Rodley, Langsilo and two or three other young men had relations with the monastery, and they had trysts with their lovers every month.Because the garden was so large, the bishop had to agree to open two gates leading to an open space behind the northern wall. Most of the nuns obeyed the rules, and most of them stayed in the monastery. They were not as clear about these details as the count, but later they knew and used this gap to violate the relevant regulations of the abbot. The count soon saw that the monastery was led by such a cowardly woman that it was not easy to establish order.He told the Grand Duke what he meant.The Grand Duke advised him to take the most severe measures, but he did not want to transfer his former girlfriend to another convent. The count returned to the monastery of St. Ribarada, determined to put an end to the drudgery he had so vaguely entrusted to him, as quickly as possible, by severe means.Philips was still angry at what the earl had said to her, and planned to retaliate with corresponding words as soon as they met, letting him know his noble origin and social status.As soon as the count arrived at the abbey, he summoned Philipz, in order to get rid of the most distressing burden of his errand.Philips walked into the reception room, gasping for breath, which made the atmosphere tense, but the count felt that she had become particularly beautiful again.He's sensitive about it.He thought: "Appreciate this pretty face, don't let it change." On the other hand, Philips admired the sensible and calm attitude of this handsome man.Earl was indeed striking.He is wearing a black suit.He thought it was the color to choose when coming to the monastery to perform his duties.Philips thought to himself: "I thought he would be a ridiculous old man after thirty-five, like the confessor here. But on the contrary, he is still a real man. He is not like Rodley and the other young men I knew displayed their status by fine clothes. His gown was not as good as theirs, without velvet and gold embroidery, but he could at once wear it if he wanted to, and the others What about people? How difficult it is to learn Earl Biedermont's clever, rational and interesting conversation!" Philips chatted with the earl for an hour.She still hasn't figured out why this big man in a black velvet dress always has a strange look on his face. Although the Count was especially careful to avoid all subjects that might provoke her, he did not concede to the girl in all matters, just as those who were connected with this pretty, eccentric girl who had had some lovers That's what men do.Because the count had no intentions, he was with her pure and natural, but he wanted to avoid details that might make her angry.Ultimately, however, she had to get to what she asked for.So they talked about the chaos in the monastery."In fact, madam," said the count, "the cause of the confusion here is that one of the most conspicuous nuns here has asked for two more maids than the others. Though perhaps not unreasonable in a way." "The reason for the chaos here is that the dean's character is too cowardly. She wants to restrain us with an unprecedentedly strict system. The nuns admitted in some monasteries may be pious women who like to live in seclusion and are willing to live in poverty. Obey the rules of the house and abide by the vows they made when they were seventeen years old. As for us, the family placed us here to leave all the property to our brothers. Since our father does not want to see us at home, we cannot escape , and cannot live in other places, what other extravagant hopes can we have. In addition, since we have made a vow, it is meaningless in the eyes of sensible people. But we have to stay here for a year or a few years Yes. The nuns elsewhere have a little liberty, why can't we have the same? Oh, I also tell you, Mr. Prince, the gates of the wall are open until dawn. Every nun is free to spend time with her lover in the garden. Tryst. No one would think to blame this kind of life. Parents are greedy for money and marry our sisters off. The freedom and happiness they enjoy, we think that we as nuns should also enjoy. Yes, since one became a second Fifteen years of cardinal lord, everything has changed. Sir, you can send troops or retinues into the abbey, as you did that day. They can persecute us with violence, just as your retinues persecuted my maid. The only reason for doing this is that they are stronger than the maids. You are arrogant, but you have no rights over us. We were forced to be locked up in the monastery. We were forced to make vows when we were sixteen. Besides, this nasty life you want us to live is very different from the life of the nuns when we made our vows.Even if the wish is reasonable, at best we agree to live the life of those nuns.But you want us to live a life they've never lived.Mr. Representative, with all due respect, I ask my fellow countrymen to respect us.In the republic period, it is impossible for us to endure such shameless persecution.The only fault we poor girls have is that we were born into rich families with brothers.I really want to find an opportunity to say these words to the public, or to a reasonable person.As for the number of my maids, I don't ask for many, two are enough, I don't need five, let alone seven.I could stick with seven though.Until someone comes out to refute the vicious slanders that hurt us. I have just given you a few examples of this slander.However, Monsieur Prince, as your black velvet suit suits you so well, I make it clear to you that this year I give up my right to hire as many maids as I can pay. " Earl Biedermont found her protest very amusing, and added a few ridiculous objections at random, in order to keep the conversation going.Philips argued with him vehemently and charmingly.The count saw in the eyes of the twenty-year-old girl that she was very surprised at the stupid things said by a person who seemed to be educated. After sending Philips away, the count called the abbot and gave her some advice.He reported to the prince that the dispute at the monastery of St. Ribarada had subsided.The prince admired his intelligence greatly.At last the count returned to his homeland.But it occurred to him several times: "There's a girl of twenty there who, if she came out of the convent walls and lived on earth, would be the most beautiful person in town, beautiful and intelligent." But something big happened in the monastery.Although the nuns could not express their views as coherently as Philips, most of them were young and bored with convent life.Their only pastime is to use the prince as a subject to draw cartoons and write satirical poems, saying that the prince has been a cardinal for twenty-five years. To abuse these poor girls sent to convents by greedy parents. The gentle Lordran, as we have said, was a close friend of Philips.Philips told Loriline that she seemed to be bored with her lover, Rodley, since she talked with the Earl of Biedermont, who was over thirty-six years old.To put it plainly, she fell in love with the serious count.After that, the friendship between the two nuns seemed to grow deeper.They went on and on about the subject, and several times they talked until two or three o'clock in the morning.The abbot declared that he would strictly enforce discipline and enforce the canon of the Order of St. Benoit, according to which each nun was obliged to return to her cell an hour after sunset, when the "return bell" was heard.The good abbot felt that he had to lead by example, and when he heard the bell, he went back to the room and shut the door.She also devoutly believed that other nuns would follow her example.Among the prettiest and wealthiest nuns, nineteen-year-old Huapina was probably the craziest in the house.And Celia, Huapina's best friend.These two nuns hated Philip the most, and it was said that Philip looked down on them.In fact, after Philips and Lordrain had the above-mentioned interesting topic, when they got along with other nuns, they always showed a kind of irritability that was difficult to conceal or not conceal.Philips was the prettiest, the wealthiest, and seemed wiser than the other nuns.In a monastery where people are bored, the slightest disturbance can kindle the flames of hatred.Wapinar, in a fit of stupidity, went to tell the abbot that Philips and Lordrain had several times stayed in the garden until two o'clock in the evening.The abbot learned from the count that the gate of the garden leading to the open land to the north would be guarded by the prince's soldiers, and she sent for several large locks to be put on the gate.Every evening, when the gardeners finished their day's work, the youngest one, who was also sixty years old, handed over the key to the dean.The dean immediately sent an old nun to lock the door with a second lock.In spite of these precautions, it seemed to her no small fault to be in the garden until two o'clock at night.So she called Philips, and gave the noble nun, the heir to the family fortune, a lesson.If there is no prince as a backer, she may not have the courage.Since Philips knew the earl, he only let his lover Rodley come here once, and it was to ridicule him.After being scolded by the dean like this, she couldn't bear the tone, so she retorted angrily.The kind dean refused to name the person who exposed her, but listed the factual details.Based on these details, Philips quickly guessed that it was Huapina's complaint. Philips immediately decided to take revenge.This determination calmed her down.Misfortune gave her strength. She said to the abbot: "Abbot, do you think I don't deserve sympathy? I can't calm down. The great Saint Benoit, the founder of our order, stipulates that men under the age of sixty are not allowed to enter the abbey. This rule is indeed wise. The Prince represented the Earl of Biedermont and I had many long talks with me in order to manage this monastery, and persuaded me to give up the request for additional maids. He is very clever, cautious, and talented. I sincerely admire these virtues of the Earl. As God and Benoit's handmaiden, it is not right for me to do this. Heaven will punish my vanity: I am madly in love with the count. Nor did I take the liberty of confiding to my friend Lordrain such involuntary and guilty feelings, in spite of her anger.Lordrain advised me, comforted me, and on several occasions even gave me strength against evil thoughts, so she sometimes stayed with me late. But I always asked her to stay, because I was afraid that if she went away, I would think of the Count. " Naturally, the dean gave a lengthy lecture to the lost lamb.Philips made another excuse, which prolonged the sermon. "Now," thought Philips, "our vengeance, mine and Lordrain's, will lead to events which will bring the lovely Count back to the Abbey. I conceded too quickly on the subject of the maids, and this mistake It will be made up for. He is so reasonable, and I unconsciously try to appear reasonable to him. I don't think I have deprived him of the opportunity to come to the abbey to perform the duties of the prince's representative. I am now mourning his absence. Annoyance. Rodley, a simple-minded fellow, entertained me a few times, but I always found him very ridiculous. Because of my mistake, I never saw the lovely count again. Lordran and I will try to get revenge, causing Confusion, so that he often comes to the abbey. The poor abbot does not know this secret, and she probably wants the count to see me as little as possible. But it is he who I long for. The old lover of the archduke cardinal will certainly Open my love to that eccentric and indifferent man. It will be a comedy, he may find it very entertaining. Because either I am completely wrong, or he is deceived by those stupid words. It is people trying to make us tame And preach some nonsense. It's just that he hasn't found a woman who is suitable for him. I will be this woman. Otherwise, I will die." Since then, Philips and Lordrain have always had a revenge plan, and they are no longer bored: "Wapina and Celia secretly went to the garden to enjoy the coolness in the hot weather, and they must make their first love with their lover The tryst became a scandal, and the memory of the virtuous nun would be erased when I was walking in the garden late at night. In the first meeting between Huapina and Celia and Lorenzo and Pierre Antoinette On the night of the first date, let Rodley and Lang Siluo lie in ambush behind the pile of square stones in front of the garden gate. Rodley and Langsilo can't kill the lovers of these two women, but they have to stab them five or six times with their swords, so that they are covered with blood. They were stained with blood, causing their lovers to panic when they saw it, and they didn't want to talk to them again." In order to arrange their premeditated ambush, the two friends thought it best to ask Livia, Lordran's valet, to ask the abbot for a month's leave.This girl was very clever, she brought several letters and a sum of money to Rodley and Lang Siluo.With this money they arranged ear wires around Lauronzo and Pierre Antoinette.These two youths of the noblest and most fashionable births always sneaked into the monastery garden together at night.Since the reign of the Grand Duke Cardinal, it has become very difficult to sneak into the monastery.Especially recently, the request of the abbot has been approved by the Earl of Biedermont: a sentry was set up in front of the small garden gate leading to the clearing to the north. Livia, the maid, came to see Philips and Lordrain every day to report on the preparations for the attack on Celia and Huapina's lover.Preparations took six weeks. The problem was to find out on which night Laurenzo and Pierre Antoinette would come to the convent.After the new Grand Duke succeeded to the throne, the law was strictly enforced, and the monastery was more strictly guarded. Also, Livia had trouble with Rodley.This Rodriguez has already sensed Philips' indifference towards him, so he made it clear that if Philips did not agree to give him a date and did not personally order him to act, he would refuse to take revenge and damage Huapina and Celia's relationship. love.But Philips has fallen in love with Earl Biedermont and does not agree to his request.
