She really doesn't like long hair - that would be too much trouble.

What's wrong with the time, so why spend it on taking care of these things?

Isn't it just some keratinized protein!

"But Sister Serena's long hair is beautiful, keep it, I like it."

Seeing Serena like this, Moira, who had been a bit of a loser following her, also switched to the coquettish mode, hugging Serina and rubbing against her.

After all, after getting along for such a long time, she has almost understood Serena's temperament.

Regardless of whether she is in the state of a saint or a succubus, her character is actually a bit soft rather than hard.

For those open and hidden arrows, Serena can always fight back without hesitation.

Even if she couldn't retaliate on the spot, she would give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth in the shortest possible time.

But for those kind and low-profile requests, Serena is often difficult to refuse.

The two of them got bored on the sofa like this, which made Meredith next to him somewhat overwhelmed.

Unlike Moira, she didn't enjoy the ambiguity between women.

Just as she was about to get up and leave, out of sight, she was stunned to hear a light knocking sound from the window of the living room.

She looked over there vigilantly, walked to the window for a while, opened the window abruptly, and let in a man wrapped in black.

Both Serena and Moira looked over in surprise.

When the hoods were put down and the white cat ears popped out, the surprise on their faces suddenly turned into astonishment.

"Elaine, why are you here? The meeting time we agreed on is the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, it was Phyllis who asked me to come and look for you overnight."

Elaine answered quickly while panting.

"She asked me to hand this to you with my own hands, and specifically emphasized that no one should see it. So..."

It was only then that Serena realized that there was still an old bamboo tube tied around Elaine's waist.

She hurriedly took the bamboo tube, removed the top stopper, and took out the parchment inside to read.

Seeing this, Serena suddenly smiled wryly.

"Ha, is this what you mean when you wanted to hang a tuna, but ended up hanging a shark?"

"Why, is this thing wrong? Did we do something wrong?"

Elaine suddenly panicked.

"No, you've done a good job, but maybe, it's a little too good..."

Chapter 13

Phyllis and Elaine's investigation went smoothly.

Following the previous clues, they found a remote monastery.

Since they are acting in the name of the saint, the people in the monastery are also very cooperative.

Although the old dean pointed to by the clue has died of illness for many years, they still found valuable things from the old dean's relics.

Among the letters carefully preserved by the old dean, more than a dozen of them involved Baron Willard.

Through these letters, it is not difficult to find that even families like Walpole in the south and Granster in the west are very concerned about Willard's affairs.

And two of the letters clearly mentioned the delivery of materials and money to the Shire region.

Although the two letters were not signed, Phyllis did not spend much effort and confirmed by comparing notes that they were written by the Earls of Grant and Walpole.

Comparing the time, it is easy to guess that they secretly funded the ambush against Baron Willard.

To be honest, if it ends here, it is still a completely good thing for Serena.

This kind of handle, which is neither serious nor serious, is an excellent equivalent for her to exchange interests with these two families.

But at such a time, Phyllis had a flash of inspiration and found another clue from the relic.

Driven by the spy's professional instinct, she brazenly asked the people of the monastery to open the tomb of the old abbot, and found the casket buried in the ground along with the bones.

And in the box is the bamboo tube in front of me.

The parchment in the bamboo tube is clearly an oath.

An oath signed by dozens of nobles, swearing to unite if necessary, to use force to force the king to abolish the new deal.

After questioning Phyllis again through the dream, Serena was finally able to connect the cause and effect of this matter together and tell it to several other people.

"...Back then, it was Dean Rees who acted as an intermediary and summoned these nobles for a collegiate meeting."

"At that secret meeting, the representatives of the nobles who attended the meeting unanimously agreed to make this oath to show the king some color."

"And this oath bound by magic also represents the nobles' determination to maintain tradition, and it will never be changed by time."

"And the demise of the Willard family is a testament. That's right, the blood of my family was shed for this oath."

After that, since there was no such thing as trust among the nobles, the affidavit remained in the hands of Dean Rhys.

Later, when Tempus ascended the throne, he vigorously strengthened the purge of the domestic nobles, and further strengthened the power of the central government with a series of measures such as copper pipe houses. In addition, the legions trained by Roland performed well on the battlefield. The nobles, just shrunk...

"They have in fact renounced this oath, and are content to be faithful lackeys of the king's throne. I believe that now【@

"The bad thing is, this affidavit is still there."

"What's worse, the fact that this affidavit is still there may have been leaked."

Opening the tomb is a big event, and Phyllis took out this box in full view of everyone—it is obviously impossible for the people in the monastery to let Phyllis go in by herself, what if she desecrates the dead?

Serena can be sure that this unlucky event has been placed on the desks of these families in the affidavit through various channels at this time.

All these families will be afraid - what will happen if this thing falls into the hands of Tempus?

The big nobles might be able to survive without their skin, but what about the other small and medium nobles?

Seeing other people's faces getting worse and worse, Serena quietly stated her reasoning.

"At the first moment, they will yell at the dead Dean Rees, blaming him for not destroying this terrible document;"

"Next, they will find a way to make this document never appear on the king's desk. The fastest and most thorough way is..."

That's right, it's the fire dragon burning the warehouse.

As long as this monastery is surrounded and killed, no one will know about this matter again.

"Dare they besiege and kill the saint?"

Moira immediately opened her mouth wide.

She's not stupid, of course she knows what Serena is talking about.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, it's actually okay, Sister Serena is here, they..."

Before she finished speaking, Moira's face turned dark again.

That's right, Serena is here, but Phyllis is still in the monastery!

If those nobles had really made up their minds, even if they beheaded the saintess, they would still be silenced, and there would definitely be no way out for mere Felice.

Instinctively, Moira wanted Serena to rescue Phyllis.

"Sister Serena, go and rescue Sister Phyllis. At least, tell her to escape quickly, and we will talk about other things later!"

"late."

Serena smiled wryly again.

She just passed through a dream, warning Phyllis that she needs to leave the monastery immediately to save her life.

But Phyllis's series of strong emotional changes after waking up were enough for Serena to understand that the monastery might have been targeted.

"Then we can only give up on her..."

Meredith said with some emotion.

Although this is regrettable, a mere Phyllis is irrelevant to the overall situation.

The most correct thing for Serena to do at this time is to find Judge Goss with the affidavit, and then mobilize the knights and soldiers directly under the king in Foss County as soon as possible to control the situation.

At that time, the sacrifices of Phyllis and others will naturally be repaid by nobles with their lives and titles.

"No!"

Moira screamed.

She has the closest relationship with Phyllis, and she never wants Phyllis to be abandoned like this.

Almost instantly, she hugged Serena's long legs and begged with tears.

"Don't abandon Sister Phyllis, she will be very scared by herself! She is still very young, and there are still many things she wants to do, she shouldn't die at this time!"

Elaine shook her ears hesitantly.

To be honest, she didn't like Phyllis's behavior style, and she couldn't talk about friendship with Phyllis.

But after all, that was the companion she had been with for a while, and she didn't want Phyllis to be abandoned just like that.

If Phyllis can be given up this time, what about next time?

Thinking of this, Elaine shuddered.

Seeing that Moira began to cry and beg Serena, she hesitated for a moment, and knelt down on the ground.

"Hey, why both of you are like this! I didn't say I want to watch Phyllis die."

Serena stood up dumbfounded.

"My people are indispensable."

"Moira, you are watching our luggage here, waiting for us to come back. Elaine, you are tired too, just rest here and protect Moira."

"Meredith, you and I will bring Phyllis back!"

Chapter 14 I Didn't Allow You to Die

"boom!"

Another loud bang came from the gate of the monastery.

Phyllis bit her bloodless lips, neither sad nor happy.

She knew very well that her life was counting down.

After receiving Serena's warning, she did suddenly discover her extremely dangerous situation, and once tried to escape at night.

But before she got on the horse, a monk who had woken up at night shouted in panic, saying that the outside was full of torchlight.

When Phyllis climbed up the tower and looked out, she already knew that her day was in danger.

Obviously, she found that the news of the oath had leaked out, and the nobles closest to here had surrounded the monastery with their hands.

The good news is that the monastery is very strong, with tall stone exterior walls and thick wooden doors, which determine that these guys will not be able to break through here for a while;

The bad news is that no matter how strong the defense is, it will inevitably be defeated in a situation of isolation and helplessness, not to mention that the priests here are not elite soldiers.

In a crisis, Phyllis immediately used the spies' magic tools to describe the situation and sent it to His Majesty the King—or her father's office.

Phyllis didn't really expect to be rescued.

She just hoped that if she did this, her father, Viscount Lemes, would be able to accompany her in the last days of her life, and it would be best if she could send back a word of comfort so that she could say goodbye to this world calmly.

'Anyway, I've tried my best.In this world, there is no room for someone who lacks talent like me...'

She said so to herself, but Phyllis gradually realized that she really didn't want to die.

The task assigned to her by the king failed, but she still thought that maybe one day, she would be able to make contributions to offset this failure and start all over again;

Moira should be worried, right?
