Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Folder came with a vigour and vigour, but left silently. Evan was writing a letter to the bishop that day. The autumn sun shone on him and made him a little lazy. Sang Mrs. Des suddenly came in and told him that Ferd had left.

      It came and went quickly, and Evan returned to normal in a flash, as if the loss just now was not his mood.

    "Since Mr. Verde has left, the church can breathe a sigh of relief. This incident did not damage the church, and the bishop should be very satisfied." Evan wrote Without stopping, he continued his business.

    Mrs. Sanders nodded with approval, but the bishop would not care what difficulties the local pastors would encounter. As long as the reputation and property of the church were not damaged, they would not Multitube.

    "Yes." Mrs. Sanders nodded slightly: "Don't worry, this matter has passed, and our church can be calm for a while."

    Evan nodded, this time he was really badly damaged, not only was he injured, but also caused this stormy incident, fortunately, it is all over now.

    In the afternoon, the Duke sent an invitation, because of this incident, the Duke wanted to invite Evan to their gentleman's party.

    Evan looked at this invitation and couldn't help laughing. There are so many gatherings in this era. Since he came here, he has participated in countless gatherings, large and small. There are fresh reasons for the gathering, but this time is a perfect opportunity. The gentleman's gathering organized by the Duke is definitely a perfect opportunity to break into the local gentleman class. This time, Evan completely discovered that mastering the right to speak What an important thing.

    "Please tell the Duke, I will see you on time." Evan smiled and said to the messenger who was waiting for a reply.

    The messenger breathed a sigh of relief. The duke insisted that he consult the priest in person. He was afraid that the priest would be angry with such a rude thing.

    "Okay, I will report your answer truthfully to the Duke." The messenger saluted Evan, turned and left.

    Evan entered the room with the invitation card, Mrs. Sanders was sewing a tablecloth inside, the original one in the church was a little old, Mrs. Sanders insisted on making a new one, She is always extra careful about church affairs, and her requirements are extraordinarily high.

    "Gentlemen's party." Evan handed the invitation to Mrs. Sanders: "Have you heard of this party?"

    Mrs. Sanders finished the invitation, put on reading glasses and looked at the invitation carefully, and frowned after a long time: "This is a party organized by the Duke, I just heard about it before, I heard that the gentlemen at the party are very close to the Duke, so with your current status, you can naturally attend this party.”

    Evan nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that Duke Wilson wanted to pull him into his circle of friends this time, which was a good thing.

      Now, just bring a gentle and uncontested face on it.

    But although Evan was very calm, someone took the initiative to come to him. The next day Evan had just finished his morning prayers when Colonel Mel came to Derain Church.

    Evan was very surprised when he saw Colonel Mel, because although the colonel was a parishioner, he was rarely seen in church except for worship. This time, it was a bit unexpected for Evan.

    "Mr. Colonel." Evan smiled and greeted Colonel Mel.

    Colonel Mel looked a little unnatural, although he smiled, but the smile was also very stiff, which was different from the usual Colonel Mel.

    "Pastor Bruce..." Colonel Mel opened Evan with some hesitation: "Do you know a Mother Eliza?"

    Sisters do not belong to Protestantism, but a special existence in Catholicism, they dedicate themselves to the Lord and never marry.

    Evan frowned, thought for a moment, and finally said: "I met a nun who belonged to St. Ryde's Abbey. When the church gave charity to the poor, this nun also appeared."

    "Oh, that's her." Colonel Meier seemed to be relieved: "It's this nun, you see..." Colonel Meier chose the words with some confusion: "She is a nun. A kind nun, who once helped my poor mother to gain peace of mind, but now this nun is in some trouble and asked someone to come to me, I only know you a religious person, so I had to ask for your opinion ."

    "My opinion?" Evan was a little surprised by Colonel Mel's question, but still nodded: "Although I may not be able to help you, I will try my best."

    Colonel Mel finally showed a sincere smile and hurriedly said, "You are really a noble person."

    After complimenting, Colonel Mel began to talk about the topic: "You know, a nun is to serve God for life, but..." Colonel Mel sipped slightly embarrassed at this point. She pursed her lips: "But this Mother Eliza is only eighteen years old this year, and she is still a young girl. She was sent to the convent by her parents when she was very young. It was not her will to become a nun. Now she has met ...Meet a gentleman." Colonel Mel's words were particularly difficult: "She wanted to be with that gentleman, but... ugh!" Colonel Mel couldn't help sighing.

    Evan was a little stunned by what he said. If this happened in his era, it was very likely to happen, but in this feudal era, since this will happen This kind of thing, this is already a very immoral thing, and even if it is spread out, the nun's end will not be very good.

    "This...this is really, it's a bit unimaginable." Evan really didn't know how to react, so he could only say dryly.

    Mel thought that Evan was frightened by such a bold thing, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "You are an upright gentleman, so I dare to talk to you Saying this, Mother Eliza is a very good lady. She is kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. She is the most outstanding lady I have ever met. Although she also deeply loves God, you know The power of love is more shocking than religious worship. Now she can't get rid of the shackles of religion. She suffers from pain day and night. She can't bear such pain. Mother, let her leave safely, and now I want to help her too, my dear Mr. Pastor, please give me some advice."

    At this time, Evan finally realized what is called a dilemma. It is really difficult for him to maintain his noble and kind character while embodying his religious character.

    "Colonel Mel." Evan pursed his dry lips: "This is so surprising to me, I...I have never seen anything like this in my life, and Although I am also a religious person, you are aware of the grievances between Catholicism and Protestantism. Although I am very sympathetic to the situation of this nun, please forgive me that I have no ability to help her. This is really surprising. "

    Evan's answer made Colonel Mel a little dejected. Although he had expected such an answer, he was still a little annoyed when he actually heard it.

    "You don't need to apologize, I was too rude." Colonel Mel said with a little dejection.

    Evan looked at him so annoyed, a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes, but he didn't think too much, smiled and said: "Please don't be so polite, I can't help you, I'm very sorry I'm sorry, but this kind of thing is still too bizarre, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve."

     Colonel Mel listened and couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "That's true, if it wasn't so difficult to solve, I wouldn't be so embarrassed, you are really a noble gentleman, not because of This is a prejudice against Mother Eliza, I just feel very sorry for her, I really don't know what she will do in the future."

    Evan could only sigh when he heard it. The nuns of this era wanted to pursue love, which was originally a rebellious thing, and this nun could be regarded as pitiful.

    Evan sent the somewhat dejected Colonel Mel to leave. When he first arrived at the door, he suddenly remembered that Colonel Mel was a gentleman who had a very close relationship with Duke Wilson? That gentleman's party might also have Colonel Mel's share.

    "Mr. Colonel." Evan stopped and looked at Colonel Mel tentatively.

    Colonel Mel turned his head suspiciously: "What's the matter with you?"

    "I was invited by the Duke before." Evan replied deliberately: "He invited me to a gentleman's party, to be honest, I have never seen such an event before. , I wonder if there is anything worth noting?"

    Colonel Mel heard him talk about this, and suddenly realized that, with the rapid development of the relationship between Duke Wilson and the priest in the past year, this invitation can be regarded as a matter of course.

    "You can rest assured." Colonel Mel comforted with a gentle expression: "It's not a formal occasion as you imagined, but it's just a few gentlemen chatting about current affairs and news, everyone With a close relationship with the Duke, nothing unpleasant will happen."

    Colonel Mel said that this is not without purpose. You must know that although the etiquette seems to be closed in this era, the private life of some gentlemen is very rotten, and many gentlemen gather together not for high-level dating The assembly hall is to do some stunned things. Colonel Mel is afraid that this simple pastor will be frightened by such rumors.

    Evan did not consider such a problem, but Colonel Mel's comfort also made him relieved. Even if many people don't know it, at least Colonel Mel still knows, If the Duke is very busy by then, he will not be alone and deserted.

    Thinking of this, Evan smiled slightly: "Thank you for letting me know."

    Colonel Mel also smiled at Evan, this one is now the red man in front of the Duke, and according to his own observation, the Duke's feelings for him seem to be somewhat different from before, he is still Get in touch with him.

    Evan watched Colonel Mel's back turn around the forest path, and then went back. Today is really a wonderful day for him.
