Today's princess is still cute

"mom!"

Miranda cried and threw herself into Mary's arms, hugging her tightly.

"My daughter, you are finally back." Mary also burst into tears. "You have lost weight. Where have you been? Why didn't you come home?"

"I, I..." Miranda thought about what happened in the past year and the days she spent in that place, and she began to tremble with fear.

Before leaving, someone had already warned her that if she revealed anything about this place, her family would disappear from this world in a matter of minutes.

After seeing all the nobles and wealthy guests coming and going during this year, Miranda had no doubt whether they had the ability.

Mary was even more heartbroken when she noticed something was wrong with her daughter and recalled the previous rumors. But she just wanted her daughter to come back.

"It's okay, it's okay, just go home, just go home"

The Vatican knight standing next to him was Cardinson, who had changed into a uniform and armor.

When Cardinson heard the word "go home", his heart ached violently, but he still had a congratulatory expression on his face and clapped silently with the crowd.

"Thank you, respected Knight, could you please tell us your name?" Mary's eldest son and daughter came over and performed a standard papal salute to Cardinson. Their family were all devout believers.

Cardinson whispered, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. As for the name? I always do good things without leaving a name. I won't tell you that my name is Cardinson Pine."

Cardinson Pine!

It was the newcomer of the Holy See, the genius Cardinson!!

Then Mary's eldest son took out a big purse and handed it over: "Mr. Payne, this is what you deserve. Our family..."

Cardinson's voice suddenly became louder: "What are you doing! As a knight of the Holy See, do I need money to help the people? You are insulting my faith! And also insulting me personally!"

The onlookers were in awe, with expressions like "As expected of a Vatican Knight."

Mary's eldest son was a little flustered and said at a loss: "Then, Lord Payne, how can we repay your kindness?"

"Do more good deeds and help those you can help, that's enough."

Cardinson said seriously, his face full of righteousness.

PS: I caught a cold on the first day of the new year, and my head is dizzy and painful. I will go out to buy some medicine later. There are two more chapters that will be posted before noon. The six chapters tonight will remain unchanged. Thank you for your support. I hope we will be happy every day in the new year! qqun伊6吧2171六

Chapter 43: On the deeds, not the heart (th update, please vote!)

The purpose of being in this world is nothing more than seeking fame and becoming famous.

Fame and fortune, there is a saying that fame comes before fortune because once you are famous, fortune will naturally come.

Cardinson is sometimes quite confused. What does it mean to be a truly good person?

If one does so-called good deeds in order to become famous or gain benefits, can this be considered as judging by actions rather than intentions?

But at least, he felt happy when he saw the happy smiles of Mary's family again.

The bar where the fifth prince lived, let him live a little longer, just the last little while.

Cardinson, who was clear-headed, said goodbye and left after he had scanned his face among the crowd.

Someone recognized him, but in a different way - he was the one who spoke up for the Seventh Princess on the street that day!

However, this voice only lasted for a moment before it was drowned out by the angry voices of the crowd next to Mary's house.

"Mr. Payne is a good man! He will definitely help when he sees inequality!"

"Aren't all the knights of the Holy See so kind? His Holiness the Pope even spoke up for the Seventh Princess. Why didn't you dare to poke His Holiness the Pope in the back?"

"You don't have the courage to do good things, but you are here to gossip about others who have done it?"

"I don't care who the Seventh Princess is, as long as she dares to say something bad about Lord Payne!"

Especially Mary's family. Anyone who dares to say anything bad about Cardinson in front of them will be scolded immediately.

This was something that Cardinson had not expected. In his plan, he had other ways to offset the impact of the princess incident, but there are so many coincidences in this world.

Unintentional planting leads to great success. Before anyone knew it, Cardinson's reputation had spread at an incredible speed in this busy dessert shop. Combined with previous reports in the Imperial Daily, many residents in the area knew that the Holy See had such a chivalrous knight.

Cardinson knows everyone's heart and sees through human nature, but he missed the most crucial thing - sincerity.

They are not NPCs, they are living people. You don't need to complete tasks one by one to gain their favor and reputation. If you are nice to them, they will think you are nice and will be nice to you, that's all.

One p.m.

Vatican, in the office of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

Césaire Melo picked up a report and asked with a smile: "Is this our new Vatican star?"

The Templar Knight he sent out to protect Cardinson also said with a smile: "Captain, we finally have a good candidate."

"A good candidate? Doing things according to one's own preferences under the banner of the Church, is that still a good candidate?" Although Xizel cursed like this, his eyes were full of admiration. "You should ask the other brothers to keep a closer eye on him and ask the idlers around him to get out of the way. Even the Mage Tower is joining in the fun? This is someone from our Church! You want to rob him?"

“Don’t worry, Captain!” The Templar Knight saluted, his words revealing a cruel tone that could not be concealed. “Just as you said, we will chop down anyone who dares to raise his hand!”

Xizel scolded: "You don't speak like a Templar Knight."

The Templar scratched his head and chuckled: "Didn't I learn this from you?"

"Get out, get out. Don't come here to bother me. You're a bunch of little bastards who are always looking for trouble." Xizel waved his hand, but his tone was very kind.

"Yes!" The Templar turned and left.

César flicked at the report, and he already had an idea of Cardinson's route map in his mind.

"After helping the Seventh Princess, whether he intended to or not, he immediately contacted the Fifth Prince. Was he trying to get a hold of the First Prince? His approach was immature and impulsive, but his ideas were good and he had a good balance in dealing with conflicts. How could Nell raise such a clever grandson?"

None of the people Cardinson got rid of along the way were from the Holy See. All his whereabouts were clearly exposed to the Holy See's sight. This is also a kind of trust.

After all, he was an old and shrewd man. After guessing Cardinson's intentions almost accurately, Cesare decisively went to meet Bach and let those priests clean up the mess.

I will use all my means to erase all the shady methods used by Cardinson.

Want to muddy the waters and catch a big fish?

Then just go for it!

Behind you is the Millennium Church!

In fact, Cardinson, who didn't think too much, was arguing with the boss in front of a store.

"Boss, to be honest, can you make it a little cheaper?"

"Young man, go ask around. If there's anywhere else that sells axes cheaper than mine, I'll do whatever you ask."

"Fifty copper coins, no more."

"sixty."

"Fifty-five."

"No way, this doesn't even cost me!"

"Fifty-six. If not, I'm leaving." After saying that, Cardinson turned around without hesitation.

"make a deal!"

The shop owner decisively packed up the ten axes and handed them to Cardinson.

"That's good enough." Cardinson took it and handed over two silver coins.

While waiting for the shop owner to give him the change, Cardinson asked nonchalantly, "Hey, boss, who lives in the house across from you? Why does it look so spooky in broad daylight?"

The boss, who was looking for change, said casually, "Oh, there's a young woman living here, she's pretty, but no one knows what she does, and no outsiders have ever been here."

"Hey hey hey, could it be the legendary black magician?" Cardinson asked curiously.

The boss rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Have you read too many novels? If there really was a black magician coming into the city, he would have been arrested long ago. Why are you letting her live here?"

"Okay, thank you, I wish you a prosperous business!"

Cardinson smiled and left his boss's sight.

If the young man wasn't likable and spoke nicely, the boss wouldn't have stayed with him for an hour, just for those ten axes.

At this moment, Cardinson, who was squatting in the corner, unpacked the axes and put them into the storage ring one by one.

Peggy.

This is the woman's name.

The reason why Cardinson knew her name twenty years later was mainly because the color left by the arson case was too strong.

Her other identity is that she is one of the dozen women kept by the current Minister of the Military, Marquis Shusterly.

If nothing unexpected happened, Peggy would be abandoned after five years. Then, in despair, she would take a fire and set her house on fire. She would die in the fire at the age of 23.

A simple suicide would not be enough to let so many players know about it.

The main thing was the box dug out from the ashes by the guards who were responsible for cleaning up the scene after her death.

Chapter 44: The Strange Canary

The corner where Cardinson was now happened to be where the back door of Peggy's house connected to the alley. Except for animals, no one would visit here.

He took out a mask from his storage ring and put it on his face. After thinking for a while, he took it off again.

No matter what happened, this woman named Peggy could not meet Cardinson in any sense of the word.

Don't blame him.

He cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, it would be better to stagger the two people's time, and then sneak in when Peggy leaves home to get what he wants. This is the last kindness of Cardinson.

Even when sleeping, Cardinson would not do such a stupid thing. Betting everything on the other party not getting up even if he heard the noise? Did he really think he was the child of destiny who could do anything smoothly?

During the one hour he observed, there was not much traffic in the area. Even in the imperial capital, there would be such deserted residential areas. Don't you see the ratio of land area to population? His Majesty the Emperor encourages people to have more children every year.

Also, for some reason, after noon, the group of people around me suddenly disappeared, including the Mage Tower, the Brotherhood of Eternal Night, and all the other people.

This is definitely a good thing. It's impossible to say that all of them have improved their hiding skills to the top level, right?

In that case, Cardinson also admitted it.

So I guessed it was 100% someone from the Vatican who took action, and they wanted to see how far he could go without being disturbed.

After all, it is the only orthodox religion in the past thousand years and is as old as the country. The influence of the Holy See is unmatched by those forces. Even the Mage Tower, which is the most powerful now, does not dare to really anger the Holy See.

As for the people from the Vatican, if he wanted to find them, he could find them if he worked hard, but that would be a bit tactless.

They are here to protect you, not to play hide-and-seek with you.

Cardinson waited very patiently, this short wait was nothing at all.

In the past, in order to ambush a team with which they had a grudge, he and his brothers had been waiting at the entrance of a certain dungeon for a full sixteen hours. Except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, they had never logged off. This level of intensity was no big deal for Cardinson.

Since I have nothing to do, I'll just wait until Peggy leaves.

Cardinson still didn't believe it. You are a canary being kept, so don't you want to eat and drink? Don't you want to buy beautiful clothes and cosmetics to please the Marquis?

Finally, when Cardinson was squatting and feeling a little dizzy, Peggy went out.

She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a hanging veil that covered two-thirds of her face, but it was clear that she was a beautiful girl at the best age.

I will be 23 years old in five years, so wouldn’t I be 18 years old now?

Damn, this Marquis is not a human being.

Peggy was probably going out to buy groceries or something. She was carrying a small basket in her hand. She didn't even say hello to her neighbors. She just twisted her beautiful figure and walked out step by step.

When Cardinson saw that the opportunity had come, he took out a hook from his storage ring, threw it at the second-floor window, then pulled it hard. After making sure that there was no problem, he used his hands and feet to climb up along the rope.

In fact, this approach is quite stupid. Cardinson neither explored the situation nor made any careful arrangements. He just acted based on the plan in his mind.

But he only has one week, during which he must do what he wants to do, and then he can enter the Vatican with peace of mind.

You can only risk your life.

It only took Cardinson ten seconds to climb to the window. When he was about to pry it open, he found that Peggy had not locked the door. Overjoyed, Cardinson quickly opened the window, retracted the grappling hook and climbed in.

I have done nothing these two days. I climbed over the wall after drinking at night, and climbed through the window after going to the bar during the day. Cardinson, as a moral model and a knight of the Vatican, has had enough.

Just in a place where this position could be seen, a little kid of about four or five years old sniffed his nose and said to himself curiously: "Hey, this brother, why did he go into someone else's house?"

Just then, two kind-looking uncles came over and squatted in front of him.

"Little boy, do you want some candy?"
