Successors of all mankind

Yule's plan remains the same: to find a way to safely leave the slave Nor and head to Valinor, which the AI ​​has suggested.

But if all else fails, this seems like a viable alternative!

Although soft rice soup is despised by many, to be honest, it seems quite delicious.

After all, although it doesn't sound very honorable, it's still better than being dismantled into parts.

"It is indeed not me; I am not engaged."

As Yu Le pondered this, she answered Miss Windsor.

"It really wasn't you. What a pity. I guessed wrong. After all, such an outstanding and suitable young man as you is rare."

"However, in that case, I'm sure you'll have to be extra careful. Otherwise, I'm worried that once more women find out about you, they might be tempted to kidnap you."

Yu Le simply smiled and said:

"It's not that exaggerated...uh...it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Is it really that exaggerated?

Miss Windsor chuckled in response and said:

"If you are always alone, that's not an exaggeration, it's a certainty. That's why nobles always have their own guard knights to protect them closely. This is to prevent some extreme situations!"

Hearing this, Yu Le glanced curiously at her left hand, where, although the ring was still on her index finger, it had been replaced by a delicate gold ring instead of a rough silver one, and said:

"But you don't seem to be engaged, and I don't think I've seen your knight?"

This question made Miss Windsor's expression darken slightly.

She lowered her head and stroked the ring on her hand, saying:

“No one will want to marry me. I have no equal bloodline, and I bear the surname Windsor. Moreover, Mr. Jules, I will not have a knight, for I am a knight myself, just like my engagement.”

"Similarly, no one would want a knight who can't fight as their guardian knight."

It seems like I keep making mistakes...

Yu Le couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Please believe me, Miss Serena, I absolutely did not mean to, I just... I just... Anyway, I'm so sorry!"

Enjoy the pleasure of life, the joy of life, the happiness of life, the joy ...

But it was at this moment, after a brief moment of dejection, that Miss Windsor, as before, threw out another question:

"Since you are Robespierre, may I ask if you are aware that the incomparably precious French emerald is in your possession?"

Chapter 51 Albion's Gold

“Ah, no, Miss Serena, I do not have such a precious gem.”

Yu Le's answer came out so quickly that he didn't even realize there was anything wrong with it.

Miss Windsor across from her gave a soft "hmm," lowered her eyelids, and casually wiped the edge of her mask with her handkerchief.

When she raised her head again, her lake-blue eyes had regained their usual gentleness.

“I see,” she said, her voice devoid of any emotion. “Then I must have remembered it wrong.”

Only she knew that she had confirmed two things.

Yule had no marriage contract, and Yule was definitely not Robespierre!

Because the emeralds of France were not gemstones, but rather the consort of the future Duke of Guise, the wife of the Prince of Condé, and the ruler of France.

That is, the first princess of France—the Emerald Princess!

The carriage was quiet for a moment.

The wheels rumbled rhythmically over the flat, wide road of Norna, so different from the outer city.

Serena folded the handkerchief neatly and tucked it into her sleeve, her movements as calm as if nothing had happened.

“Miss Serena,” Yu Le hesitated for a moment, “that…jade, is it a very precious gemstone?”

Although she hadn't noticed the problem before, Yu Le vaguely realized that something she didn't know about had happened somewhere.

However, he still wasn't quite clear about the specific problem, so he couldn't help but ask the other party.

Miss Windsor seems to be testing me about something?

Miss Windsor did not answer immediately.

She tilted her head slightly, her lake-blue eyes reflecting the flowing neon lights outside the window behind the mask.

At that moment, Yu Le felt that she was being looked at, yet she also felt that she was not looking at herself, but at something else—perhaps the real Robespierre that she imagined.

Or is it something else that I don't know about?

"Yes, Mr. Jules."

“That’s very precious. So precious that... there’s only one in all of France. So it’s normal that you don’t have one.”

But then she changed the subject:

"But if it were you, perhaps you would have treasures that are absolutely no less impressive, or even more dazzling, to cherish in your hands?"

"Mr. Jules, do you like gold?"

Why does it feel like it's not over yet?

First jade, and then gold?

But what does this mean?

Yu Le was a bit overwhelmed. Although he had initially gained a foothold, he still knew very little about the world.

If only there were an encyclopedia.

Yule suddenly misses Baodou, that AI idiot...

It's clumsy, but it's definitely useful!

After a moment's hesitation, Yu Le could only tell the truth:

"Who wouldn't love gold? The sound of gold coins is so lovely!"

Serena Windsor confirmed one more thing, or rather two things.

That is to say, Yu Le is not one of their own nobles, and at the same time, he may not even be a member of the noble system at all.

Because Yu Le was unaware that the French emerald referred to the First Princess of France.

It is unknown whether gold and emerald appeared at the same time in Albion, or whether the gold was a metaphor for the first princess of Albion—the Golden Princess!

Gold and jade, the most beautiful treasures on both sides of the strait.

Two exquisite flowers born from gold and authority.

May the blood of God flow through them forever, and may the glory of mankind bless them forever!

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Jules! But, I wonder if you would like to come with me to the capital?”

Miss Windsor, who was staring intently at Yu Le, eagerly revealed her plans.

This was exactly what Yu Le wanted.

He was worried about how to escape safely from under that old man's nose.

With the kingdom's tribunal by my side, I'm sure I'm safe, right?

However, the AI ​​suggested that I follow the nuns to the capital and then try to reach the other side of the strait. We then moved to Valinor.

“Miss Serena, I want to ask you, do you think Hudson would dare to attack the nuns?”

The unexpected marriage proposal had successfully stunned Yu Le.

Now, it was Yu Le's turn to leave her stunned.

“The Hudson family is just a viscount. Although he is still the acting governor of Nur, how could he possibly and how could he possibly have the ability to attack the Sisters of the Rose?”

“Mr. Jules, that’s one of the three major sister orders.”

Although the nuns are not as unified as the human-machine religion.

But it is also a colossal entity capable of dividing faith from the other's.

How could a mere border viscount dare to attack them?

Yu Le also realized that his statement might be too shocking, but from what he observed, this old man seemed to really dare to do it.

So what does he rely on?

"What if he really dares to? Or what if he doesn't target the entire Sisters of the Roses, but rather the nuns who are here?"

"That's impossible, the Sisters of the Roses will definitely find out..."

As she was talking, Miss Serena stopped.

A mere border viscount could not possibly deal with the Sisters of the Roses, but as the acting governor of Numen Nor, if he only wanted to take action against the nuns here, the chances of success were indeed quite considerable.

"Mr. Jules, have you discovered anything?"

After a moment's consideration, Yu Le decided to share all his findings.

Yu Le trusted Miss Serena more than the Baron.

Because the other party's goodwill is everyday, not special.

But that's precisely why Yu Le can trust her!

At the same time, she is also the tribune of this country. A border viscount attacking the local religious system is a big deal no matter how you look at it.

After hearing Yu Le's explanation.

Realizing that she was in settlement number 386, Miss Serena subconsciously thought that the other party was short-sighted, and couldn't help but take another look at Yu Le.

To put it another way:

"The issue you raised is indeed not to be ignored, but I personally still don't think it will happen. After all, he really doesn't need to."

“Because the Sisters of the Roses are not fools, and the kingdom will not stand idly by while such a big thing happens. As the host, he will definitely be thoroughly investigated.”

Miss Windsor planned to lure Yule to the capital and present her to her princess.

Therefore, she paid more attention to all issues related to entertainment than before.

This time, I also gave a serious answer to the question about entertainment.

But Yu Le asked her a question:

“I understand, I understand, but can you explain why they care so much about a third-class settlement?”

As she spoke, Yu Le pointed to the courthouse and said:

"As you just said, two hundred and fifty gold coins is the tax that settlement has collected for at least several hundred years, and that's nothing to them."

"So, what could possibly make them so concerned about such a dilapidated place?"

"And, will this matter embolden the other party to act so recklessly, or even take such a desperate gamble?"

Miss Windsor gradually became serious.

Chapter 52 A Thirst from Bloodlines

Miss Windsor was still reluctant to believe that a frontier nobleman could be so audacious.

However, she could no longer deny the existence of entertainment.

“Mr. Jules, your concerns are very valid, so I think we need to plan more carefully!”

"However, this matter ultimately concerns a viscount and him as the acting governor of the slave town of Nor."

Therefore, I cannot force you to do anything based on your one-sided statement.

At this point, she said apologetically:

“I hope you can understand my difficulties.”

Yu Le nodded. He hadn't expected her to take action on the spot anyway—it was enough that she was willing to listen and think seriously.

After all, she was a tribune, a daughter of the Windsor family. Her very existence was a huge variable.
