Chapter Thirty(2/3)
"Why do you have to say such a stiff control? The boss treats Ribo as his grandson, and there is a relationship between me and him in it." Eckert said with a smile.
"I know the rules of this game and I know very well what the boss has for Rebe. He plans to tie Rebe with me tightly. Is he worried that his charm is not as good as his old friend who is proficient in magic?" Frera said, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"This is indeed something the boss is worried about. You and I can see that he really wants to retire, but he can't let go of this organization that he has spent countless efforts and costs. And Ribo is obviously the most suitable candidate to take over him in the overall situation. The boss really hopes that he can take his place." Eckert said.
"Didn't you originally appointed as the successor? You are replaced by students. Don't you feel disappointed?" Frera said disapprovingly.
"You should be very clear about my thoughts. We grew up next to the boss and were trained by the boss together. You should be very clear that I am not interested in this kind of life just like you. Because of this, the boss can only train me to become a clever liar."
"In fact, both you and the boss must be very clear. No matter how successful I do, at best, I am just a liar. I cannot be as strong and decisive as the boss. My mind is useful enough to face small troubles or arrange some small conspiracies behind the scenes, but if I face a big guy like Lomel, I'm afraid I can't deal with it."
"I can be a good planner, but I will definitely not be an excellent leader, and there is the most important reason. It is precisely because of this reason that I can't even compare to you."
"I am completely different from Ribbon. I am not a Southporter. The small port located at the southern tip of Franx has never belonged to me."
"Because of this, the boss has been worried that he could never retire as he wished until he received complete peace in Nangang."
"In fact, you have always been the first heir in the mind of the boss. The only thing that hinders you is your younger brother. He makes you become like this, and you, who is depressed, will obviously not be able to completely relieve the boss."
"So when Ribo appeared in front of the boss, and when he successfully passed the trial, the boss had a new successor candidate in his heart, and when he broke out from the plot again and again, the boss had already made up his mind."
"You should have discovered that Ribo was in crisis several times because the leader intended to make him go deeper. The reason why the boss was killed by Ribo was so completely bankrupt was that he hoped that Ribo could gain experience from these adventures, as difficult as ordinary people could get when he was young."
"Ribo's achievements made him very satisfied, and what was more satisfied was undoubtedly that Ruibo was gradually becoming the heir he needed in his plan."
"You should have already discovered that Ribo is becoming more and more like a leader now. His eyes, his attitude towards people's behavior, and his reaction to crisis are all very similar to those of the leader. The only difference is that Ribo seems too sharp."
"Although he learned from Kelle the ability to hide himself in the darkness, he has not applied this ability to normal."
"He was like Kelle. When they walked in the dark, they did disappear without a trace, but when they stood under the light, they seemed too dazzling, like a dagger that was unsheathed, flashing with a chilling edge." Eckert said with a whisper.
"You don't plan to take over the position of the leader yourself, just want to use Ribo to replace him?" Frera said coldly.
"Because he is undoubtedly the best choice." Eckert said affirmatively.
This time Frera did not refute, she remained silent.
Eckert also remained silent, and he carefully put the pile of files into the file box.
After putting everything in order, Eckert whispered softly as if he was talking to himself: "There is another thing that the boss hopes to confirm whether the child in His Majesty's belly is the seed sown by Rebow?"
"Why are there such suspicion?" Frera asked calmly.
"The two priestesses have very rich experience. According to their reports, His Majesty the Queen has been extremely indulging in recent days, and her lewd life has left indelible traces on her body. And all this is absolutely impossible for His Majesty, who is in waning years, and His Highness, who is relatively energetic, cannot do this thoroughly."
"And from those traces, the one who caused all this was a playboy who was proficient in this. Those Fengliu methods sounded like they were all from your teachings." Eckert said, with a clear smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Why do you think I know the truth?" Frera asked again.
"Because you are an expert in this field, Ribo can hide anyone's eyes, but he will definitely reveal flaws in front of you, and we believe that you have enough means to force the truth from your students." Eckert said with a smile.
"How many people know about this now?" Frera asked.
"This news was very tightly controlled. It was the Archbishop himself who told me about this matter. According to him, the two priestesses were personally sent by His Majesty the Pope. The news was also told by His Majesty the Pope that he was sure that there would not be many people who knew about this matter, and that everyone would keep their mouths tight." Eckert said.
"The Pope may have doubts and will send the two priestesses." Frera said disapprovingly.
"You know very well that there are many things that are secrets in the sun, and the Holy See has no reason to expose this matter, which will only benefit them." Eckert said with a smile.
"Since you have already guessed, why do you still ask me?" Frera asked coldly.
"Guess is always just guessing, and the clear answer must be obtained from you. In addition, this is equivalent to a transaction between the leader and the pope, and the content of the transaction is information in each other's hands." Eckert said.
"Since you want the answer, I will give it to you. Your guess is not wrong. That child is indeed the result of Ribo's efforts. This is also a transaction. It will definitely not be nobler than your transaction, but it is not dirty." Frera said with a smile.
Eckert was not surprised by Frera's candidness. He smiled faintly and nodded slowly.
"What are the instructions there?" Frera asked.
"There is only one thing, but I think Ribo is already working hard." Eckert replied.
"Is it the agreement between the boss and Miss Meading?" Frera asked again.
"It's not just the request of Miss Meiding, just as the Queen needs a prince to consolidate her position, a small heir is also needed between the leader and Miss Meiding to consolidate their alliance. In addition, that small heir will be a safe guarantee. After all, in the current situation of Ribo, both the leader and the old lady are not optimistic. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, they need a small baby. Of course, it would be better to have a few more babies, at least that old lady thinks so." Eckert said calmly.
"The two little girls who will follow you back to the south may bring you unexpected surprises. All I can do is this, and your students have made efforts. The next thing we will see is the arrangement of the God of Destiny to see if he intends to let a new life be born into the world. As for Lanti, there is still a lot of time before entering the border between Deli and the Kingdom. If you walk slowly, it will take at least half a month to arrive. I think she will have many opportunities to get what she wants during this period." Frera said calmly.
However, the calmness that was deliberately pretended to be could not be concealed by Eckert's eyes.
What he saw was a deep loss.
※※※
Suddenly, three loud military trumpets came from afar, followed by neat drum beats and military music composed of trumpeters drilled into everyone's ears.
The sound of military music interrupted everyone's conversation, and the protagonist of the farewell ceremony finally arrived.
Eckert and his party came out of the cathedral.
I saw that there were already crowds of people on Xiangtrongen Avenue.
Countless heads also stretched out from the windows on both sides.
Colorful silk ribbons flutter in the wind.
Colorful pieces of paper flew everywhere like snowflakes.
In addition to these light and fluttering things flying in the air, there are also bunches of bouquets.
The bean koo flowers, peony flowers, and zinnia grass filled the entire street, and they all represented smooth blessings.
At this moment of separation, there is really no better embellishment than them.
Frera saw from a distance that Rebow had already gotten on the carriage, and Miss Lanti was following him closely.
At this moment, Miss Lanti seemed generous and could be seen from her manners that the noble education that Miss Meiding had given her over the years could also fully see the noble bloodline she possessed.
That kind of gentleness, that kind of elegance, and that kind of nobility that comes from the blood of the Meiding family.
For some reason, Frera looked at Miss Lanti and felt even more disappointed. She didn't even realize that she had quietly taken a step back.
But Eckert blocked her step back, and he gently held Frera's arm very gracefully and led her to the front of the carriage.
People in the capital have long heard of the beautiful and charming mistress next to the little heir of Sethborough.
At this moment, Frera stood in front of everyone, and her beauty immediately conquered the hearts of countless men.
The beauty that is everywhere, the unresolved charm, such a charming beauty, made many people almost unable to help but want to pounce on it.
Even the important cabinet minister who was originally talking to the little heir of Sethborough, saw Miss Frera coming gently twisting her waist and making a look of death.
Frera's appearance made Ruibo feel a headache. He didn't know why Frera deliberately used her charming look to confuse those onlookers who were unable to resist.
She didn't need this at all, so that everyone could be immersed in the charm she had.
Seeing this obviously out of control, Ribo could only regard all this as Frera's disposition that likes to play pranks.
He quickly stuffed this charming fairy with absolute lethality for men into the carriage.
He himself took advantage of the situation to greet the two cabinet officials who were standing there in a daze and got into the carriage together.
This carriage made for traveling is particularly spacious inside. The carriage is divided into two rooms in front and back. In front is a bedroom for sleeping. The thick wooden boards can effectively isolate the sound and will not let the noisy sound of horse hooves affect the sleep of people riding inside.
The rear half is no different from an ordinary carriage carriage, but the windows on both sides look particularly large, so the inside of the carriage is particularly bright.
There is also a thin layer of translucent screen between the thick curtains of the lake green velvet and the window glass.
Everything inside is also extremely exquisite. The white painted walls are smooth and flat. The complex and wonderful lace posted on the edges are the most popular styles in the capital recently.
Whether it is the ceiling or chairs, there are collages of enamel inlaids.
The table in the center is surrounded by gold-plated flat copper wire, and dense copper wires form a strange picture.
The seats of the carriage were covered with thick camel velvet, but Frerasen put all the camel velvet away and stuffed them into the drawer under the seat. In early summer, these soft cushions were obviously a bit out of place.
There is an escalator behind the carriage leading to the roof. When you are tired, you can even go to the "balcony" to stretch your body.
Looking at such a delicate and thoughtful arrangement, Ruibo has to admire the designer's good intentions.
However, this kind of enjoyment is not something that everyone can enjoy. If it weren't for the glory of those royal members, he might not have had the chance to increase his knowledge.
Ruibo was there for a long time, and suddenly there was a knocking sound coming from the window glass.
Rebow gently opened the window door, which surprised him that Fanny and Listen were standing in front of him.
"Why are you here? Didn't you agree not to see me off?" Ruibo asked softly.
As he was worried, he saw the eyes of the two girls filled with crystal tears.
Fanny and Listen didn't say a word, tears flowed down their cheeks.
At this moment, there is no need to say anything, everything is indifferent.
Suddenly the girl rushed towards Ruibo, and they hugged Ruibo's neck tightly.
An extremely affectionate kiss replaced any farewell words.
"If you can't return to us safely, we will resent you for the rest of our lives." Listen's words with crying voice came gently in his ears.
Hearing these words, a warm current flowed in Ruibo's chest.
He had thousands of words in his heart to say, but when he reached his mouth, he was blocked by a deep sadness and could not be revealed.
"Okay, OK, two little girls, I will watch this guy and remind him of the time of return." Frera's head was stretched out from the window, and she said with a smile: "Crying is only necessary at the funeral. You should use a smile to bless us with a peace along the way. The temporary distance does not mean that you have a break from your friendship, but that your thoughts can be condensed. When Ruibo returns, you will find how generous the interest of this love is as time goes by."
