Today's princess is still cute

"Come in." A hoarse voice like the cry of a night crow came from inside.

Noren nodded to Cardinson, then opened the door and walked in.

This room was beyond Cardinson's expectation. It was extremely frugal. Yes, it was frugal. Compared with the decorations on the first floor, this place was like a slum. There was only a large velvet sofa and a wooden table made of unknown material.

The old blind man sat right in the middle of the sofa.

1 mana, Charge, gain + Attack for each other Murloc on the battlefield.

Oh no, I got off track.

He was a thin old man with one empty eye and no eye patch. His intact eye was filled with unfathomable coldness.

"You were sent by His Highness?" The old blind man looked at Cardinson and asked in confusion, "Why haven't I seen you around His Highness?"

Cardinson's heart was beating fast. He was in real danger now. If he was not careful, he might become a corpse.

Twenty years later, this bar still exists, but by that time, the fifth prince died in the royal struggle. The place was renamed, and Old Blind and Noren probably died with their master.

Cardinson's greatest golden finger is his foresight. He knows the direction of history and knows that in the end the second prince will ascend the throne, kill his father, brothers and younger brothers, and forge a bloody path to the throne.

"Get out." Cardinson said to Noren.

The bald man was a little at a loss and looked at the blind old man.

"Go out, no one can do anything to me here." The old blind man smiled sinisterly.

Noren touched his big bald head and went out to wait.

Only Cardinson and the blind old man were left in the room.

"Cardinson Pine, this is my name. If you don't remember it, it means your intelligence today has not been delivered yet." Cardinson sat carelessly in the other corner of the sofa, facing the old blind man across the wooden table.

The blind old man felt that he could hardly see through the young man in front of him.

However, he still shook the bell beside him and said, "Have you processed the intelligence from last night? Bring it up."

No one knew how the sound got out, but in less than three minutes a girl in a white dress walked in and put a stack of papers in front of the blind old man.

There is no need to say more about the rest. The first one contains information related to Cardinson.

"Well, a super genius appeared in the Vatican's knight selection this time. He is seventeen years old and ranked first in all scores. In the final test, he broke the Vatican's thousand-year record. He was received by the Pope. His mentor is Césaire Melo. He has a very close relationship with Rong Ke Hadley." The old blind man read the information in a low voice, then laughed and said, "Wow, a super genius of the Vatican."

Cardinson spread his hands and acted as if he didn't care. "Don't worry about the identity of the Holy See. I know you don't want to care about it either. You just want to know how I know about His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, right?"

"Yes." The blind old man found that, without him noticing, the rhythm of the conversation had been led by the young man.

But he didn't mind.

If Cardinson can't say something that satisfies him, he doesn't care about any super genius of the Holy See. Here, he is the king of the underground.

The secret of the fifth prince must not be known to outsiders, so what if he is killed? If the Holy See comes to the door, can it pass the test of the royal family?

Cardinson said bluntly: "I can help the Fifth Prince kill Marquis Xiusterli."

The only pupil of the old blind man shrank and he suddenly stood up.

"You know, when you say something like that, I won't let you go out no matter what."

Cardinson didn't take it seriously, but crossed his legs and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, don't listen. Come out and let's talk."

Chapter 41 A Deal with the Devil

The old blind man's momentum suddenly stagnated, and that terrifying pressure disappeared before it could even reach Cardinson.

Because from a hidden corner of the room, a small door was pushed open, and a young man in light blue suit walked out.

Andre Katzpera Stewart Ulysses.

The fifth son of the current emperor, and also the least noticed one.

"I'm curious how you knew I was here." Andre walked over to the old blind man and sat down, while the old blind man immediately stood up and served him.

Alas, Your Highness, as soon as you come out, the initiative is completely seized by this Cardinson!

While Andre was looking at Cardinson, Cardinson was also looking at him.

He has a handsome face, a tall figure, and is not very old, but he has a simple yet strong military style. Perhaps it is related to the fact that his mother is the daughter of the Marquis of Stuart, the Deputy Minister of the Army.

What impressed people most was Andre’s sharp eyebrows, which carried an awe-inspiring heroic air.

Cardinson put away his nonchalant look, stood up and saluted: "Nice to meet you, Your Highness Andre. If you were not here, the old blind man would have killed me immediately because I am a knight of the Holy See, a knight of the Holy See who should not know these secrets."

Andre nodded with interest: "I was indeed here last night. I was just about to return to the Imperial City when I heard someone talking about me. You and I don't know each other, right?"

"Now we know each other." Cardinson sat down again with a sincere smile.

"Okay, okay," Andre laughed, "So, Cardinson, what do you want to bring me here? If you can't tell me, I don't mind letting the old blind man help me deal with the aftermath."

Cardinson did not answer his question, but continued talking to himself.

"People outside are saying that this bar belongs to either the eldest prince, the second prince, or the eldest princess, because they have the power. But when I think about it carefully, the eldest prince holds military power, the second prince has the support of the prime minister, and the eldest princess has three sea trade routes, one military, one civil, and one financial. Their means of making money are already fixed, so there is no need to go to great lengths to erect such a glaring target in the imperial capital. Yes, your bar is a target in my eyes."

"The third prince is only interested in calligraphy and painting, and has long been asked to be enfeoffed by His Majesty. The fourth prince is born with a disability, and the rest of your brothers and sisters are not capable of supporting such a place because they do not have a mother from the Stuart family."

"These reasons are actually known to everyone, but it is difficult to pin the blame on you because they are too far-fetched. How could a prince who is only sixteen years old, a prince who aspires to become a scholar, create such a place?"

"Your Highness, the old blind man may have done a perfect job, and you have also done a good job in managing the situation. I think it must be authorized by His Majesty that you can affiliate this bar to the military, right?"

"The simplest answer, Your Highness, is that no famous scholar from any academy has ever been here. They are not like those guys in the Mage Tower who never leave the gates. How could they miss such a good place in the imperial capital?"

Cardinson talked and Andre listened.

The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He thought he had done well enough, but he didn't expect that a mere Vatican knight would see through it at a glance?

"This is a secret known to everyone in the upper circles. It's not that no one has lifted the lid, but it's not the right time to lift the lid. Do you understand what I mean? No matter how much the middle and lower nobles discuss and speculate, it won't affect anything. The ones who can really affect you are those who want to lift the lid and reap the fruits."

After Cardinson finished speaking, he coughed and said in a pretentious manner: "Oh, I've talked too much and I'm thirsty."

The old blind man immediately understood: "I'll go and pour the tea."

"It's a great treat for me to have the owner of the Mutoli Bar personally pour tea for me." Cardinson laughed.

Andre could not smile. He sat up straight and bowed solemnly to Cardinson: "Please teach me, sir."

"Sir or not, I can't take that responsibility. I'm just a rough man who wields swords and guns. How could someone as smart as Your Highness be fooled by a few words from me?" Cardinson restrained his smile and said word by word, "Your Highness, I just want to ask, are you still short of people?"

"Is it in your personal name or in the name of the Holy See?" Andre excitedly spoke out his true feelings, but then he realized that it was impossible, and said, "Of course there is a shortage. I am too short of people now. The only ones I can use are the old blind man and the few people that my grandfather sent to me from the military. As for the people in the graduate school, they are unwilling to invest in a prince who is at the bottom of the list before the situation is clear."

Cardinson lowered his voice and said something shocking.

"Your Highness, the way to break the impasse is to kill! I'll be your knife if I come to your door, but the outside world must not know about our relationship. After all, I'm from the Vatican, and you're from the royal family!"

"You? Sorry, Cardinson, it's not that I don't believe you, but your current strength..."

You know, Marquis Shusterly is now the Minister of the Army, the closest companion of the eldest prince, and is surrounded by many masters. He is also a very powerful knight. How can Cardinson kill him?

Andre is still young after all.

In fact, his mind had been in chaos since the very beginning, when Cardinson said, "I can help the fifth prince kill Marquis Shusterly."

After being confused, Cardinson took control of the rhythm of the conversation and he followed his moves step by step, completely ignoring those unreasonable details.

"Since I dare to come, I must be fully confident. Even if I fail, you won't lose anything, right?" Cardinson took the tea handed over by the old blind man, blew on it and drank it. "I think you like this letter of surrender."

Andre was silent for a moment and asked, "What can I do?"

"You need do nothing but wait for me to bring you the news of the Marquis of Shusterly's death."

Cardinson exudes a strong sense of confidence and looks like he has everything under control.

"You are not a Vatican knight, you are a devil from hell." The old blind man at the side suddenly said this.

"Yes, hahaha, I am the devil. So, Your Highness Andre, do you want to make a deal with me?" Cardinson stood up and stretched out his hand.

Andre also stood up and shook his hand tightly.

"As long as it works, I will promise you a lifetime of wealth and glory."

Cardinson felt the heat from the other person's hand, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

Prosperity and wealth?

I will get it myself, not from you.

Perhaps it would be better to give me your sister Tina.

Chapter 42: No One Can Understand Cardinson (Fourth Update, Please Vote!)

"Your Highness, this man cannot be trusted."

After Cardinson was sent out by Noren, the blind old man spoke seriously to Andre.

"He came to me out of the blue, said some confusing things, and made some big promises, just to gain your trust. But I can't tell what he wants."

Andrei drank his tea and frowned as he asked, "Let me ask you, whether what he said is true or false, will we suffer any loss?"

"Your Highness, please think twice. A man from the Vatican remained unmoved and cheerfully laughed at himself when I said he was a devil from hell. Such a guy..." As a confidant, the blind old man must speak his mind.

"Are you saying that I can't control it?" Andre was a little dissatisfied.

If Cardinson knew about their conversation, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Once again, he bet right on human nature.

It is certain that the old blind man is loyal, but Andrei's age is there. A sixteen-year-old boy who wants to compete for the throne with his already mature brothers, his ambition can only be high, not low.

Cardinson just talked a lot to make Andre dizzy, and then he threw out temptations that the other party didn't want to refuse, scratching his itchy spots.

There are some things that an old blind man can understand clearly, but he cannot say them.

But Cardinson could say it, and he said it while praising Andre, which completely catered to the mentality of young people.

Who hasn’t had a period of Chuunibyou? I thought the world should revolve around me, and I was the child of destiny.

The hints in the words, the control of the rhythm of the topic, and the understanding of Andre's character were all done flawlessly by Cardinson.

And the most important thing is Cardinson’s identity as a priest!

This is a point that makes people think about it, but dare not think too deeply.

If you replaced the fifth prince with the eldest prince, Cardinson would probably have been killed directly.

But he would not approach or speak in this way in front of the eldest prince.

The fight for the throne is so dangerous that if you are not careful you will end up in pieces.

In Roye's eyes, Cardinson accepted this four-star mission because he wanted to become famous, a hero, and a role model of justice.

In Andre's eyes, Cardinson came to him because he saw his potential and wanted to become a powerful person, reaching the pinnacle with the dual push of the Holy See and the royal family.

In the eyes of the old blind man, Cardinson's actions were intended to deceive the fifth prince's trust and complete his own ulterior motives. After all, how could a rising star in the Holy See possibly participate in the royal struggle!

Only Cardinson himself knew that what they were thinking was only one-sided.

Where there is desire, there will be weakness. Cardinson is best at finding the weakness and then hitting it with one strike.

Anyone who can play Shadow Knight well has a dirty heart.

Inside the room, the old blind man tried to persuade Andre again, but the fifth prince sneered.

"You are just a miser who helps me manage my business. What do you know? I think Cardinson's wisdom is not inferior to my second brother. What I lack right now is this kind of military advisor!"

After hearing this, the old blind man lowered his head deeply and stopped talking.

Perhaps he realized that his words were a bit harsh. After all, the old blind man was his loyal servant and he couldn't suppress him too much, so Andre immediately changed his expression.

"Thank you for your hard work in the bar recently. I know how to behave myself. I have to visit the teachers in the graduate school later, so let's leave it at that for now. By the way, is Mary's daughter that Cardinson just mentioned here with us? Give her some money and send her away. Cardinson is waiting at the door. Be careful when you go to look for beautiful girls in the future and don't cause rumors. After all, if the trouble gets serious, even my grandfather can't protect her."

"Yes." The blind old man sighed silently and agreed.

Sometimes, we are not afraid that the master has no ideas of his own, but we are afraid that the master has too many ideas. A willful and self-willed master can easily cause conflicts among his subordinates.

In later history, the fifth prince was killed like a chicken by his elder brother, the second prince. Now we can see the reason.

But what does this have to do with Cardinson?

The Fifth Prince cannot give him what he needs, so I'm sorry.

noon.

At the entrance of "Mary's Dessert Shop", a scene appeared that made people stop and watch.

Mary's little daughter, who had been missing for nearly a year, was brought back by a Vatican knight!
