Chapter 573
"Laura Stewart!"
Almost gritting her teeth as she pronounced the name, Kelissa stared at the archbishop in purple and gilt vests.
The clergy's clothing can only be white, red, black, green, purple and decorative gold threads, and on weekdays, in order to deliberately create a low-key The supreme bishop wears a beige monastery that even the clergy will not wear, but if it is another occasion, it will also change the costume depending on the person holding the banquet and the purpose of the banquet. Prepare a myriad of styles of monastic clothing. Sometimes, in order to elevate the status of the guests, they deliberately wear low-status clothes to greet the guests. Of course, sometimes if you meet someone who is dissatisfied, you will also wear a deliberately higher status than the other person.
Just like the purple monastic dress that Laura is wearing now, she is one level higher than the royal princess above her status. Speaking of which, many people will ask how a bishop can be more honorable than the princess of a country?
Because Laura represents theocracy, even if it is not the era when theocracy was above the royal power in the past, but in Britain, theocracy and royal power go hand in hand, and even faintly higher than that, after all, this world is not just the kind of belief that cannot be answered, God is real, but it cannot appear easily.
Back to the topic, Laura obviously came to Kelissa's birthday party as an uninvited guest, she looked playfully at the second princess who was a little caught off guard and embarrassed by her appearance, and chuckled, "Looking at His Highness, it seems that I am not welcomed?" ”
Kelissa was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then she smiled and lost her embarrassed face before, "How come?" It's too late for me to welcome, the Supreme Bishop himself has come to congratulate me on my birthday, I can't welcome it, come, you welcome the Supreme Bishop with me! ”
As she clapped her hands, the entire banquet hall burst into applause, as if the ceiling was about to be lifted.
Such a gesture seems to be welcome, but Laura knows that this is Kelissa demonstrating to her, see who these are, right? Either politicians, wealthy businessmen, or influential aristocrats, to put it bluntly, this group of people occupies at least 30% of the voice of the whole of Britain, which is a considerable force.
The original anti-guest form was reversed at once, and Kelissa, who had won back a game, took a sip of wine in a comfortable mood, slowly walked off the stage, and handed a glass of wine from the tray held by the waiter to Laura, with a joke on her face, "Is it so happy today, shouldn't the bishop have a drink?" ”
It is well known that nuns forbid alcohol in order to keep their hearts pious and not tainted by foreign objects. And now Kelissa handed the wine in front of Laura, and such an act was tantamount to public provocation.
Looking at the glass of wine that was close at hand, Laura didn't reach out to take it, and after looking up at Kelissa's face for a while, she suddenly chuckled, "Your Highness has really grown up..."
There was emotion and nostalgia in his tone, and this look was like an elder looking at a younger generation who had grown up.
Kelissa's face immediately turned pale, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and the wine glass handed to Laura was accidentally crushed under its uncontrollable force, and the wine instantly spilled on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Laura pretended to regret and said, "It seems that I can't drink this cup of congratulatory wine from His Highness..."
Finally calming herself down, Kelissa leaned over to Laura's side and asked in a low voice, "What do you really want?" Do you want to make the contradictions between our two factions public? If that's the case, you should weigh the consequences. ”
Laura's face was mocking when she heard this, only to hear her ask rhetorically, "I still want to know what you mean, Your Highness, to demonstrate openly?" Gathering so many people to show off how powerful you are? It's a tacit thing, so why do you need to put it on the surface? This kind of practice only adds to the laughing stock and makes others think that we in Britain will only have infighting! ”
Kelissa was stunned when she heard this, she really didn't think about these problems, maybe it was the smooth sailing in recent years that she gradually swelled, and she used to just want to do things in her head but didn't dare to do, but now she has done them in a grand manner. Yes, she does have the intention of demonstrating, in order to show her power, so that those wavering wall grasses can see clearly who is worthy of attachment, although there is nothing wrong with doing so, but it is a little too ugly to eat.
If someone else had tried to persuade her in a tactful way, maybe Kelissa would have thought about it. But the person who said this was Laura, and she sneered at her lips because she didn't want to admit defeat, "The reason why we are being led by the nose now is not because you are trying to divide the royal power?" Without you, our country would be monolithic! ”
This is indeed true, the leader of the royal faction is the current Queen Eliza of England, who is also the mother of Kelissa.
There are three princesses in England, the eldest princess Limea, the second princess Kelissa, and the third princess Verian, who are in charge of important departments for their mothers.
If it weren't for the emergence of Puritanism, then the power of the whole of England would be concentrated in the hands of the royal family, so for the royal family, Puritanism was a threat.
But even though Puritanism is a threat, the British royal family has to use it, and it has to rely on its strength to fight other countries and prevent the country's interests from being damaged. Therefore, the meaning of Laura's existence is to let Britain occupy a certain voice in the entire mysterious side, and at the same time be regarded as the guardian of the mysterious side of Britain.
The relationship between the two sides is complicated, they are afraid of each other, they use each other, everyone wants to kill someone, but no one dares to act easily, this balance is dangerous, but it is so stable.
Edwin on the side watched this scene with interest, some people really thought about it, just thinking about what the Supreme Episcopal Church looked like, and the next moment he saw it, after seeing it, his first feeling was...
Hypocrisy!
That's right, it's hypocrisy, it's not that the supremaster's character is hypocritical, but her whole person is fake, no matter how much she exudes that nasty holy aura, but as a character crawling out of the abyss, Edwin smells the smell of hell.
Demon!
A supreme bishop actually smelled the breath of a demon on his body! What could be more incredible than this?
Edwin, who was already interested in her, became even more interested, and he really wanted to find a chance to find out more about the supreme bishop, as if it would be a good opportunity after the banquet?
Thinking of this, he quietly withdrew from the banquet, not caring what the follow-up development would be, and how it would end, after controlling and releasing the little Philip with hypnotic magic, he hid himself in the night, waiting for Laura to appear.
Coincidentally, it didn't take long for Laura to walk out of the banquet hall and sit back in her car, it seemed that the confrontation with Kelissa was still superior to her skills after all, why do you say that? Because from the faint smile on her face, you can see how happy she is now.
The car started, and her assistant couldn't help but compliment in a low voice, "Today, Catholicism can be regarded as a lesson for the second princess, so that she will not dare to be so high-profile in the future." ”
Laura waved her hand at the assistant's compliment, "It's not that I can't get used to her high profile, but because she only exposes our current weaknesses and makes those enemies who are eyeing us feel that there is an opportunity." ”
The assistant nodded silently, as if he was humbly listening to his opinion.
Laura glanced at her and asked rhetorically, "What do you think of Britain now?" ”
The assistant was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand why the bishop suddenly asked this, but she still answered truthfully about the current state of Britain, "Britain is very strong now, not only in terms of national strength, but also has a great right to speak even if it is mysterious, and it is one of the world's leading powers." ”
"What you said is true, these are undeniable, so do you think we have any enemies?"
The assistant hesitated, looked at Laura's face, and after finding that there was no abnormality, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Roman Orthodoxy! ”
Laura's eyes flashed with a sharp light when she heard the name of this behemoth in the mysterious side, "That's right, Roman Orthodoxy!" It's not just a struggle between faiths, it's about the rise and fall of a nation. Therefore, there must be no sloppiness, there must not be any mistakes, no matter who that person is, this rule must be followed! ”
The assistant nodded in understanding.
"There's a lot more you have to learn, and I think you're the most optimistic among the younger generation of nuns, so I hope you don't let me down."
In the face of Laura's earnestness, the assistant's face immediately showed a look of emotion, and she must remember for a long time the words of her respected bishop.
The atmosphere was so beautiful and harmonious that she couldn't bear to break it, but it was destined to disappoint her assistant, and it would be one of her worst memories.
"Stop!" Laura frowned slightly and shouted to stop the car.
The assistant didn't know what he meant, "What's the matter, Bishop..."
Laura didn't answer, her eyes looked in a certain direction, the look on her face gradually calmed down, and the corners of her mouth slowly outlined a sneer, "I was almost deceived by you, Your Excellency has been following you for so long, shouldn't you also show up?" ”
Edwin, who was hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but be a little surprised that she had discovered it? He was very confident that he would never be discovered so easily, could it be that he had a flaw somewhere?
I couldn't figure out how I could show my horse's feet, but he still walked out of the shadows and came to the car where Laura was.
Looking at Edwin through the window, Laura's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and then she rolled down the window, and the restrained sneer turned into playfulness, "I wonder why this gentleman is following me?" And since I left the hotel, no, the banquet hall of the second princess to be exact? ”
Edwin was silent when he heard this, and after looking at Laura with a playful face for a moment, he said lightly, "I was careless, I didn't expect to fall for you, you didn't notice me at all." ”
Laura raised an eyebrow, "How so?" If I don't find out, why can you break it? ”
Edwin shook his head, "You are very strong, but you don't have the ability to see through my hiding, the reason why you can break me is because of your feelings, plus you are sure of my existence, so you will speak out." Of course, if I'm not there, you have nothing to lose, do you? ”
Laura raised her eyebrows again, Edwin's carefulness and speculation surprised her, she could see in such a short time that she was actually cheating the person in front of him so far, so, this is a very smart person, smart people and smart people can't be friends, two smart and different thinking individuals, only collide, not rub sparks, competing with each other is far more happy than communicating.
So, a wise person would rather choose a wise person as his enemy than be a friend.
Of course, if two people have the same goal, it is not impossible to become friends, but this friendship is bound to be very short-lived.
Laura's instincts have always been accurate, and this does not come from her sixth sense, which of course accounts for some of the factors, but it is by no means the main thing, her feelings come from her own talent, or the talent she has since birth.
Far stronger than ordinary people's perception!
Her perception told her that the boundaries between Edwin and foe in front of her were unclear, and that they could become friends and enemies, and that the next conversation would be crucial.
Thinking of this, she smiled lightly, "You're right, I'm really just betting on luck, but I was right, didn't I?" As it turns out, your presence means that my feelings are right. ”
Edwin didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders, and said it a little bit of ostentation.
The act of not answering other people's questions is undoubtedly arrogant in the eyes of others, especially since this object is still the bishop he respects the most, and his assistant immediately couldn't help but ask angrily, "Do you know who is talking to you?" Did you know that the most basic etiquette of human beings is to answer other people's questions? ”
Edwin smiled faintly at his assistant's questioning and raised two fingers, "First, I have the right to choose not to answer your question. Second, how do you know I'm human? ”
The assistant didn't seem to get the point of this sentence yet, but Laura heard it clearly, she took a deep look at Edwin, held down Janis who wanted to say something, and invited Edwin at the same time, "It seems that the gentleman has something to ask me for, I don't think this is a good place for a quiet conversation, do you think?" ”
