Today's princess is still cute

Cardinson looked at the crystal clear wine inside, hesitated for a few seconds and took it: "Thank you."

"This is the wine brewed on our Webster estate. You can't buy it outside. It tastes very good." Judith's red lips were imprinted on the glass, leaving a faint mark.

"Oh, really?" Cardinson nodded and drank it in one gulp.

Well, it's good, mellow and a little sweet, with moderate strength.

Judith next to her was dumbfounded.

No. Shouldn't normal etiquette be that we all take a sip, then clink our glasses and take another sip?

Are you so depressed now?

fine!

Judith waved to the servant and poured Cardinson another glass.

It would be nice if I could see Brother Cardinson when he's drunk.

Before Judith could find a chance to clink glasses with him, Cardinson stood up and took the bottle from the servant.

"Your Excellency, Henry, and Arthur," Cardinson raised his glass to them from a distance, "Thank you for your hospitality tonight. To be honest, I have never had such a sumptuous banquet. I don't have many friends in the imperial capital. I am very grateful. These three glasses of wine are for you! God, I wish us all a bright future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank three cups in a row.

Cardinson flipped his hand, and not a drop of wine leaked out, leaving the cup empty and shiny at the bottom.

"Good!" The count clapped his hands, stood up, and returned the favor with a full glass of wine.

Henry and Arthur drank three cups, as was the rule.

The Count really admired this young man so much that even his eyes when he looked at Judith became eager.

Daughter, come on, daughter! Take him down for me!

Judith: ???

The Count looked at the troupe and waved his hand: "Keep on playing, keep on dancing."

The scene suddenly became lively again.

Cardinson drank four cups in a row and felt a little dizzy, so he could only sit down and rest.

"Brother Cardinson, wouldn't you like to have a drink with me?"

Judith clutched the hem of her skirt with one hand, her voice a little low.

Cardinson immediately laughed and said, "Why don't you want to drink?"

Another glass of wine was filled, only this time the cup finally touched.

Judith's eyes sparkled and she drank it with great joy.

She lowered her head and said shyly: "Then, Brother Cardinson, can you dance with me later? I..."

"call--"

Judith looked up and found that the guy was asleep and snoring loudly.

A girl's heart is beating fast.

Chapter 35: No Life Without Madness

Night, nine o'clock.

After the door closed, Cardinson opened his eyes on a large goose yellow bed.

He was a little drunk, but not drunk enough to fall asleep in front of so many people.

"what!"

Cardinson exhaled heavily, turned over and sat up, took a few gulps of water from the bedside table.

Pretending to be drunk was not to escape Judith's enthusiasm, but to take the initiative in the first conversation.

No matter how good the relationship is with Arthur's family, they are still aristocrats. As a knight of the Vatican, I have to control the distance well, speak only 70% of what I want, and leave it at that.

They have gone to so much trouble to entertain you, and this is only the first meal. The second meal is coming, how can you hide?

It is said that one should be grateful to the person who has eaten his food, and Cardinson is very clear about his thoughts.

He wanted to be friends with Arthur, but didn't want to be too close to the Earl's family.

Cardinson performed a set of basic boxing techniques that Old Pine had taught him, moving his body and sweating, which helped to dissipate some of the alcohol.

This was the last night of peace he could enjoy. After tonight, all eyes in the imperial capital would be focused on him.

The week that César gave him was just to throw him in public and see if he could withstand the pressure.

Moreover, I helped Her Royal Highness the Princess in the afternoon, so it won’t take long for the news to spread.

He had to find a balance between the attitude of the royal family, the attitude of the nobility, and most importantly, the attitude of the Holy See.

In fact, Cardinson could have stayed at the Earl's house for a week without leaving the house, and the Earl would have been happy to take him in, but he couldn't do that.

In the previous life, I had been tortured to death by Teacher Mei in the game, and I knew that the other party’s test would not be so easy to fool.

If you want to stand out, then it proves that you have the ability to withstand pressure.

How Cardinson spends this week is directly related to his future start in the Vatican.

It is true that the Holy See is like a family, but they will never allocate resources to a useless person who has nothing but talent.

Look at Bach Ellis and Césaire Melo, both of them fought their way up from the lower levels.

The channels for advancement in the Vatican are always open; it just depends on whether you have the ability to squeeze in.

After Cardinson had almost recovered, he placed two pillows under the quilt and fiddled with it for a while, creating a raised outline. If it weren't for the light, no one would have been able to notice it.

He put on his footwear, locked the door, and opened the window.

The joyful atmosphere in the hall continued, but my departure would probably cause them to end early, but it would take at least an hour.

Assuming the worst case scenario, he would have three hours to get things done, and then tomorrow his intelligence would inevitably begin to be collected by various forces, and he would no longer be able to act as he pleased.

Cardinson's current room is the guest room of the Earl's Palace, located in the lower left corner. Twenty meters outside the window is the wall.

Unless there are special circumstances, it is impossible for the guards of the Earl's Mansion to guard every spot, and there would not be so many plots in those novels about sneaking into the homes of nobles at night to have trysts or steal treasures.

After a team of patrolling guards passed by, Cardinson simply flipped out of the window and accelerated his sprint, which just happened to trigger the effect of [Foot Strength] and increased his speed by 20%.

The wall was very high, more than five meters. Cardinson took advantage of the momentum and put his hands on the top of the wall. Fortunately, there were no glass spikes in the Earl's Mansion.

With a strong effort, Cardinson flipped over, rolled up from the ground, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

It’s okay. I haven’t missed any of the lessons I learned from skipping classes before.

"Follow or not?"

"Forget it, it's the last night."

"Row."

In the corner, several Templar Knights discussed for a while and then ignored it.

After reporting what happened in the afternoon to his superiors, the instructions he received were: Unless there was a threat to Cardinson's life, his freedom should not be restricted in any way.

In other words, Cardinson can do whatever he wants, just don't let him die.

This teacher Mei has a very clear vision.

Night, nine fifty.

The Evening Song Tavern was still deserted. Even at night when business was busiest, there were few customers.

There’s no way. The drinks are too expensive, the service is bad, and there are no pretty waitresses. Who would want to come?

Roye was counting the accounts to see how much of the cash flow from financiers and travelers this month could be converted into income.

Just as he was concentrating on whether to renovate the fireplace next month, the door of the tavern suddenly opened.

Roye stuffed the account book directly under the counter and said with a smile: "Welcome to the evening."

Before he could finish his words, his expression changed: “Damn it, it’s you, you little brat, who scared me!”

The person who came was none other than the breathless Cardinson.

God knows how much effort it took to run, hitchhike, and take shortcuts all the way from the aristocratic district where the Earl's Palace is located to here.

"Help me find some information about the Seventh Princess. I'll buy it for the price and take it later."

He said this in a hurry and went upstairs in a hurry to get the frost fire and some other things stored in the room.

Luo Ye shook the fat on his face in confusion: "What? How did this guy get involved with the Princess of Doom?"

However, having said that, he still started looking for information about the Seventh Princess. There wasn't much, just three or four thin sheets of paper. Even the information of a random noble in the city would be more than hers.

When everything was ready, Cardinson also came downstairs.

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day. Tsk, you still smell of alcohol. Have you eaten? Do you want me to get you something?" Luo Ye yawned and pushed the papers over.

Cardinson took it and read it quickly, asking as he read, "I've eaten it, thank you. How much is this?"

"I didn't want to charge you any money, but since they are royal family after all, you should give them two silver coins," Roye said casually.

After reading it, Cardinson had a rough plan in mind.

He knew that the little white flower was not doing well, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.

An entry point, he needs an entry point that can make him famous in the imperial capital at the fastest speed!

"Come on, are there any four-star missions? Help me find one related to the royal family." Cardinson pushed back the papers with a gold coin on them.

The money he had on him was all given by Old Pine, and Rong Ke also gave him a lot on the way, almost a thousand gold coins, plus he saved some from completing missions, enough for him to pay favors to others.

"Are you stupid? Missions related to the royal family are usually five-star missions, and even if they are four-star, you can't accept them according to the rules." Roye didn't look at the gold coin, but spoke seriously to Cardinson.

Cardinson spread out his hands, a ball of golden light appeared in his palms, and then retracted when Roye's eyes widened.

"now what?"

"Here is the mission, take a look for yourself."

Luo Ye stopped talking nonsense and directly took out the notebook, turned to the pages with four-star to five-star tasks, and placed them in front of him.

Cardinson scanned the pages quickly and picked one without hesitation.

"That's it."

"Let me see! Are you serious?"

"seriously."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be an official member of the Holy See now. I don't know you. Today's knight selection? No, not so fast. What do you want to do now?"

Cardinson said calmly: "You will know about me tomorrow, or everyone in the imperial capital will know. What I want to do now is to become more famous."

"You're crazy." Roye looked at the burning ambition in the boy's eyes with a complicated expression.

"I'm not crazy," Cardinson laughed, showing a beautiful row of straight teeth, "but I can be crazy if I need to."

Chapter 36 The General's General and the Future General

"I know, Roye, you will keep it a secret for me, right?" Cardinson took out a handful of coins from the storage ring and scattered them on the table, shining with golden light.

Luo Ye just glanced at it and looked away: "Storage ring, what a good thing. I'll keep it a secret for you. How can the century-old Evening Song Tavern be destroyed in my hands? What you said is nonsense."

"Hey, bring out all the good stuff," Cardinson tapped the table. "I look forward to exchanging these golden cuties for some of your personal treasures, the really cool ones."

Luo Ye looked at him for a while, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Cardinson raised his beautiful eyebrows, picked up the gold coins, and followed.

"It's all here. The Royal Guards have been investigating strictly recently. No matter how much benefits we give them, it's useless. They are really a bunch of vampires from my small family. Everyone should understand." Roye pulled out a silver box from the lower level where kitchen utensils were placed. It was two meters long and one meter wide.

When I opened it, I saw it was filled with strange things that didn't look like something a good person could use.

If a thief came here, he would probably be unable to move his feet.

With the vision of a player, Cardinson quickly picked out what he needed from it.

Luo Ye's mouth twitched as he watched: "You didn't accept this mission, so you didn't need these."

"Just in case of an emergency, just in case of an emergency." Cardinson responded with a smile.
