"Here's the thing, one of our priests' godson also attended the ball held by Lady Leticia last night, because the child didn't like to communicate with people very much since he was a child, and he usually had some strange ideas......"

Sitting in the living room, the priest earnestly explained to Ronald what had happened.

To put it simply, it's a kid with a little mental problem who has bad thoughts and that's why he did such a ridiculous thing last night.

“……”

Little by little, I listened to the priest's story.

After the other party finished describing, he began to drink water to moisten his throat, Ronald asked the doubts in his heart:

"Mr. Priest, I probably understand what happened."

"But is that really all there is to a child having so much money to hire a murderer and such a high level of mobility?"

“……”

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, the priest's eyes darkened and he opened his mouth a little stiffly:

"This ......"

"This ......"

Ronald tried not to make his tone too serious:

"What's inconvenient?"

"If it's just a simple misunderstanding, then you don't need to dig too deep."

At this point, the priest finally sighed.

"Ahh

"It's about a dereliction of duty in our church."

"Recently, due to some more complex reasons, we have a lot of internal problems, and the reason why this situation has occurred is also due to these problems."

Simply acknowledging that there was a problem with the Church, the priest did not delve into the subject.

As soon as he spoke, he stared into Ronald's eyes and continued:

"Mr. Ronald, we are aware of the unhappiness you have encountered in this matter."

"As an apology, I hope you can accept some of the corresponding compensation."

“……”

Ronald nodded and motioned for the other party to continue, and the priest immediately said what had been prepared before:

"We have two options on our side."

"The first is the normal economic aspect of compensation. To show our sincerity, this will definitely be a number that will satisfy you. ”

"But at the same time, taking into account your actual needs, we have prepared another plan on our side."

Ronald raised an eyebrow:

"Considering my actual needs?"

"That's right." The priest nodded, and the tone of the conversation was very serious, "Mr. Ronald, your activities all along, our side has also seen it. ”

"So the second option is for us to open up some of the church's books to you, and you can go and read them for the next three months."

“……”

The Church's Book Collection.

Almost as soon as the priest spoke, Ronald gave up the first option in the other man's mouth.

And to see Ronald's changing eyes.

The priest sitting opposite him also had a look of clarity on his face, and then took out a golden card from his robe and put it on the table:

"Sure enough, Mr. Ronald, you are satisfied with the compensation we have offered."

"Then please take this. As long as you show this pass, you can go to the church at any time for the rest of the day. Of course, just don't take the books out of the church's library. ”

His eyes were locked on the card that the priest had just put down.

The gold card appears to be made of metal, with little decoration other than the church's cross.

This thing......

Ronald had a hard time refusing.

"Mr. Ronald, I won't bother for the rest of the rest."

The priest smiled kindly at Ronald.

Standing up and doing a church salute, he turned and walked out the door.

Smack-

After the door was gently closed by the priest, Ronald reached for the card on the table.

"Real Fake ......"

The priest's arrival today was too sudden.

Ronald did not turn on the polygraph, nor did he have the power of 'rage' to detect the emotions of the other party.

But everything that happened from last night to today.

Although the priest's explanation made perfect sense, he still felt that there was something strange in it.

Is it possible that this matter is a plan for yourself?

Just sitting in the living room looking at the card in his hand, after a few minutes passed, Ronald gave up and shook his head:

"Forget it."

"Even if it's deliberate, you still have to go."

Having this kind of good access to the church's collection is acceptable to Ronald, even if it is a little risky. Now, he has the confidence to deal with most of the problems that arise around him.

was disturbed like this, and Ronald was naturally not interested in continuing to sleep.

Walking to the balcony and pulling back the curtains, he watched the sunlight reflect on the Vis River, and then stretched comfortably.

The priest came early, but the city was in the middle of what it is today.

Cargo ships carrying goods on the Vis River, pedestrians coming and going on the other side of the river, students on their way to school downstairs.

These things tell Ronald what to do now.

"Let's get to work."

Clean up the house, wash your face and brush your teeth.

Taking care of his basic hygiene, Ronald turned around and left the apartment and walked in the other direction of the riverfront area.

The work of the Chamber of Commerce is already late for the past.

He simply went to the Oak Theater first, and explained to Heloise about his work last night, and discussed whether the plan needed to be changed in the future.

A morning is plenty of time.

Ronald walked to the theater and met Lapel in Heloise's disguise at his destination.

The two went to a utility room in a theater where no one was around, and then Heloise spoke:

"Ronald, did you wake up early today?"

"Did you spend a wonderful night with that lady yesterday?"

“……”

"The premise of a good night is that I didn't guard against her seductive spells."

Ronald gave Heloise a blank look before he began to describe what happened at last night's ball:

"Overall, the results of the first contact were not bad."

"After the prom, Leticia left me and ......"

As Ronald's narration began, Heloise's expression became serious.

After hearing the news about the contact with the countess, the girl had a very satisfied expression on her face:

"Ronald, you're a talented guy."

"If you can't get along in Grad one day, you can consider doing everything with me?"

“……”

Ronald looked at Heroise speechlessly:

"You've got it."

"That's probably the way it is, it doesn't take too long to introduce you, so remember to be prepared here."

"I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I won't stay here much."

Heloise immediately stepped forward and offered to open the door to the utility room for Ronald.

Although the place is not very classy.

But Heloise's movements were very extravagant, and it was clear that Ronald's news had put her in a good mood right now.

"Ronald, it's been a hard time."

"Next time I have a chance, I'll invite you to come to the show."

“……”

"You've got it."
