Father Mavie

Chapter 860 Daniel’s Engagement (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Arthur took Gulihana to the appointment on time, and also brought a bottle of old red wine. The dress was not grand, and it looked as natural as attending a family dinner.

In addition to them, Mawei also called Daniel. They are all cousins ​​and they don't have much restraint when getting along. Levin and Helena arrived late and were the last ones to arrive.

At the dinner table, Ma Wei took the initiative to share meals with everyone. This was the etiquette of the host and also symbolized the importance of the guests.

With so many guests, how to divide a whole hen is no small feat, especially in the presence of two kings, as the chicken represents power.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Wei took out a short knife and wiped it carefully with a napkin.

"This knife was used by me when I was in the Royal Navy. It has been with me for a long time. Although it is not expensive, I like it very much."

The blade of the knife was sharp, and with the help of the fork, it was easy to cut through the chicken. Ma Wei first cut off a chicken leg, divided it skillfully, and quickly picked off the meat on it, separating the bones and flesh.

Not just the chicken legs, Mawei disassembled the whole chicken and used his knife and fork skills that he had practiced over the years to remove the shredded meat bit by bit. The chicken that had been cooked for more than an hour was already soft and rotten, and the meat fell off the bones with a little force. After a while, a chicken was disassembled.

The meat was all mixed together, and it was impossible to tell whether it was leg meat or breast meat. After weighing it on the scale, it was put on two plates and served to Katerina and Arthur at the same time.

"I have sent them invitations, inviting political and business people to attend the banquet tomorrow night. Tonight is a family dinner, and we shouldn't talk about these things."

Smiling, Ma Wei changed the topic and began to talk about the anecdotes he had experienced while sailing at sea. The atmosphere at the table, which was originally a bit heavy, finally became lively. It lasted until 10 o'clock, when Arthur took Gu Li Hana leaves.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to the mansion?"

Looking at the red-faced and drunk Katerina, Mavey glanced at Bodelinov and found that he had no reaction.

Katerina, who was leaning on the sofa, did not answer, as if she had fallen asleep. When Bodelinov saw this, he said: "Father, your Majesty has not had a good rest these days. If you don't mind, let your Majesty stay with you." Let’s stay the night.”

"Aren't you afraid of rumors?"

Bodelinov smiled and said: "Father, do you regard His Majesty as a woman?"

Ma Wei frowned: "Aren't you?"

"I think His Majesty will be very happy to hear this." Bodelinov said: "Everyone in the world regards her as a king and dare not approach her. Only you, Father, have no worldly prejudices."

Mavey met Bodelinov not long after he met Katerina. The Church of Truth had just emerged at that time. In terms of their familiarity, Bodelinov and Mavey were considered old acquaintances. There was not much communication between the two parties. But we’ve known each other long enough.

It is also because of this relationship that Bodelinov can speak out about some topics but others cannot.

Of course Mavey heard Bodelinov's hint, or in other words, he knew some of Katerina's thoughts, but he couldn't accept it.

Regardless of personal emotions, from the perspective of the church, he cannot have any other relationship with Katerina other than the king-the pope.

That's a disaster!

It is not easy for the Church of Truth to get to where it is today. It has made countless sacrifices and shed countless blood. How could Ma Wei let his efforts go to waste because of his own selfishness?

It is no exaggeration to say that the probability of Mavi marrying Freya is higher than the probability of marrying Katerina!

The unity of politics and religion is absolutely impossible!

So Mavey pretended not to understand Bodlinov's hint and did not agree to Katerina staying overnight, but he did not refuse either. He just picked up his coat and said, "I'll go sit in the pub opposite."

"But Father, you don't drink."

Holding the doorknob for a moment, Ma Wei said without looking back: "Yes, I don't drink."

This is the second time that Ma Wei walked into the Dirty Duck Tavern. The last time was to get information about the restaurant owner. The tavern owner was shocked when he saw him. Everyone knew that the Pope did not drink, so the tavern should have nothing to do with him!

Ma Wei only ordered a soda pop, sat by the window, and stared at the street in the snow.

About ten minutes later, the door of the grocery store opened. Bodelinov called for a carriage, opened the door, and Katerina, wearing a black coat, got into the carriage and drove slowly away from Flower Street.

"Pope, what are you..." The tavern owner was curious about the reason for Ma Wei's sudden visit and asked tangledly.

"I'm bored, come and sit for a while."

Ma Wei didn't have much happy expression, he straightened his waist, looked at the direction Katerina left, took out a few coins and put them on the table.

“Another round of bars for everyone, my treat.”

The tavern, which was already bustling with the pope's arrival, burst into cheers. Being treated by the pope is a rare occasion in your life. This is the stuff of drunken bragging!

The snow-covered streets were deserted, and even the cracks in the windows were covered with snowflakes. The room was as warm as spring, and the fire in the fireplace burned brighter. The melodious harmonium sounded, and everyone was blushing. Ma Wei looked out the window, and the glass Reflecting his expressionless face.

"Why do you think this is necessary?"

In the grocery store, Levin shook his head and sighed, how he hoped Mavie could find his sweetheart and start a family.

But Daniel rolled his eyes at him and said contemptuously: "You have been with the teacher for so long, and you don't even understand such a simple truth?"

"You understand?"

"Of course I understand." Daniel took a deep breath: "Not only do I understand, I can also understand the teacher."

Levin shook his head: "I think Boss sometimes thinks too much."

"You know, I'm actually engaged."

Daniel suddenly said: "Two months ago, my father wrote to me and said that he had engaged me in a marriage. The other party was the daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria and she was a princess."

"This is a good thing!" Levin's eyes widened: "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I've never seen each other, ever."

Daniel took out a black-and-white photo and handed it to Levin. In the photo, there was a girl standing next to a chair, wearing a luxurious dress. She looked thirteen or fourteen years old, quite beautiful.

"Because of this engagement, Frederick's Kingdom took down the most powerful Kingdom of Bavaria in the Rhine League without spending a single soldier. Do you know why?"

"You are the first crown prince, and you and her children will be the first heirs of the next king." "That's right." Daniel nodded: "This is the price, this is the marriage, this is the binding of interests, As long as Maximilian I agrees, although he will lose the title of the Kingdom of Bavaria, his descendants will be able to obtain a wider land! The Kingdom of Bavaria can also become a big country from a small country! "

"I can do this because I want to gain something from this marriage. Not the teacher. If he marries my cousin, it will form an embarrassing situation of political and religious integration. Their children will not only become the next successor of the Romanov Kingdom. The king could also be the younger brother of the goddess and the child of the founder of the pope. Besides him, who else is qualified to become the pope?"

"Once such a situation is formed, the power structure that the teacher has finally built will collapse instantly. Maybe he will not have any impact when he is here, but what happens after the teacher dies? After all, human life is limited, but the church has to be passed down from generation to generation. Get down!"

Levin was silent for a long time and said, "What if you don't have children? As long as you don't have children, can't you avoid the unification of politics and religion?"

"Do you think the decision to have a child lies in the hands of the teacher or my cousin?"

"This kind of thing can't be done with just one slap! It can't work without anyone! It's not androgynous!"

"Does the child have to be the teacher's?"

"."

Levin suddenly understood. He understood it all at once. It turned out that what he thought was too simple and simple.

This is not a question of whether or not there are children at all.

It's more about the issue of belonging.

What if Katerina stayed overnight in the potion grocery store tonight and became pregnant a month later?

What will the world think?

It doesn’t matter whether the child is Ma Wei’s or not, nor does it matter whether they are married or not!

Of course, there is a high probability that Katerina will not do that. After all, Mavie is still here. She can only deceive herself by doing such a little trick. But what if she and Mavie become a couple?

By then, we won’t be able to say for sure.

"Teacher has no intention to pay attention to this matter right now." Daniel said: "The Apocalypse God System is watching with eager eyes, and the devil will resurrect at any time. The challenges facing the Truth Church are huge. One more thing is worse than one less thing."

"Then you can't stay married for the rest of your life!"

"Your realm and structure are far worse than the teacher." Daniel snorted: "You can't even control the lower body, what big things do you want to do? If other people had such achievements as the teacher, I'm afraid they would have let themselves go long ago. If it didn't work, I also want to taste the taste of the three goddesses of fate, but this is the way to death!"

"The way to death? Will the three goddesses of fate betray you?"

"I don't know, but other people will definitely respect teachers less."

Daniel said with a serious expression: "People will be in awe of unattainable beings. If they find that the beings they look up to are actually no different from themselves, they will have the idea of ​​'it's not a big deal, they can replace them.' Only by doing so It’s what they can’t do that creates awe.”

Levin looked up at the Dirty Duck Tavern, where Mavey, who had finished drinking soda pop, had already put on his coat and walked towards the grocery store. Although the road was very close, only one street separated him, his steps were heavy and heavy, as if they were far away.

The next day.

The trial training between the two countries started as scheduled. The players carefully selected by Katerina had an advantage in multiple events, but they were not able to crush the Kingdom of Windsor. The winning-loss ratio remained at around 55. Too much higher.

Among them, the Romanov Kingdom has a clear advantage in physical competition, but in some traditional sports such as ball games, it is no match for the Windsor Kingdom. The football match based on Cambridge rules even lost to the Windsor Kingdom 1:5.

The trial training did not use magic, it was a pure competition of strength and skills. Even if she had the upper hand, Katerina was still dissatisfied with the performance of the players. Soldiers have strong discipline, but talent is more important. After many rounds of auditions, Katerina The Kingdom of Windsor has obviously found a lot of talent.

After watching several trials, Katerina also felt that more attention should be paid to the auditions, and she decided to strengthen the selection when she returned to China, striving to discover more talents and take the lead in the Olympics.

On the other hand, Pugachev also took the improved internal combustion engine to various universities to give lectures. His first stop was Oxford University. When he gave a speech in the chapel, there were a group of gray-haired professors sitting in the audience, each of whom was a professor. Taishan Beidou in academic fields such as physics and mathematics. They hold pipes in their mouths and frown, not knowing what they are thinking.

After the speech, Pugachev answered questions to the students and professors, and then planned to rush to Cambridge University with the internal combustion engine. As he was about to get in the car, a voice stopped him.

"Dean Pugachev, please stay."

Pugachev turned around and saw an old professor in a black suit walking towards him: "You are."

"James Morea, Professor of Mathematics."

"Are you the inventor of Morea's formula?"

Pugachev's eyes lit up and he quickly shook hands with James Morea: "I have admired you for a long time. The paper you published decades ago provided me with a lot of inspiration!"

"It's a pity that there has been little progress in these years." James Morea sighed regretfully: "I have many questions about internal combustion engines that I would like to ask Dean Pugachev. Do you have time?"

Pugachev was embarrassed: "I still have to go to Cambridge University to give a lecture."

"It's a long journey, Dean, you don't mind if I go with you, right?" James Morea said with a smile.

"I don't mind, I don't mind! Please get in the car!"

Watching James Morea board the carriage with a cold eye, Fat Orange on the roof did not make any response, and just asked Xiaomei and Maomao to follow him to monitor.

Pugachev took the improved internal combustion engine on a lecture tour in various universities, which will definitely attract the attention of hostile forces. In order to obtain detailed information on the internal combustion engine, there is a high probability that he will have to find an opportunity from Pugachev. Pugachev is Bait, designed to catch big fish.

As for James Morea, a big fish who has been exposed, Fat Orange doesn't want to pay attention to him.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held at Buckingham Palace. Pope Marvell personally sent out invitations, inviting political and business celebrities to attend. All the guests who received the invitations arrived in advance, except for

Freya.

While the other guests were afraid of Mavi or wanted to appear in front of Katerina, Freya seemed to be in a bad mood. Although she was dressed in the iconic red dress, she was the last to arrive.

As soon as Freya entered the banquet hall, she met Katerina, who was surrounded by people and was wearing a high-waisted aqua dress. Their eyes met. Freya raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and picked up a glass of red wine. , took the initiative to walk towards Katerina.

Katerina stood there, looking at Freya who was walking towards her. As she approached, Freya suddenly turned away from the crowd and came to Ma Wei: "Father, good evening."

Before Ma Wei could speak, he saw Katerina walking out of the crowd and heading straight for this way.

"Freya de Chevalier is a famous lady in London, isn't she?"
