You know, as we age, living alone in our boudoirs can make married women increasingly mentally unstable, but the puppy satisfies my spiritual needs when my husband is away, allowing me to welcome Robbie's return tenderly and caringly. I think I've almost gotten over Sulena's shadow and want to have another child with him. So I became the enthusiastic one. Robbie was very surprised, but after so many years, his original intention and his fascination with me have never changed... and so have I. This kind of life continued until 1229, when I heard the tragic news that my husband had died in battle. I couldn’t believe it and thought it was a rumor… This kind of thing had happened before, but this time, it was real, and I felt like the sky had fallen on me.” Shimana cried again. This time she stood up, wiped her face with the help of the maid, and came back after slightly touching up her makeup. She continued: "I am like a dead person. Others took care of my funeral. Only the puppy stayed with me in bed and tried to please me like we usually do. Under its comfort, my body came back to life, but my heart was almost dead. It was a helpless and chaotic day, until Robbie's tombstone was erected in the cemetery, I finally accepted the fact that Robbie had left me. I cried and told them that we must protect the honor of heroes together. Not long ago, a crazy woman who was fanatically obsessed with my husband tried to climb over the wall and attack me, but was stopped by the guards. Later, the crazy woman committed another brutal murder and killed my friend. If we were lucky enough to meet her, I would tell her that your crazy behavior is a disgrace to Robbie. Robbie is respected because he has power but does not abuse it, he never bullies the weak, and he is passionate about protecting the people. Even his opponents respect his noble character. " "So, how did you meet your current husband?" asked the commissioner. "I'm ashamed to say that after the funeral, I asked who killed my husband, and they all said it was Pierre Corneille, the second-in-command of the Toledo family in the Highlands.
I did not want to bring shame upon Robbie, but I almost did: I tried to avenge Robbie by hiring someone to kill Corneille. But I was naive and didn't know that the killers were choosing the right person based on the situation. After comparing the difficulty of killing Corneille and killing me, as well as the potential benefits, they decided to kill me. To this end, they sent a blackmail letter, claiming that they had something on me and demanded that I pay a hush money. When I refused, they tried to kidnap my family. It became difficult to manage the family business left by my ex-husband. I was exhausted and one day, I even lost my puppy. This made me seriously ill, and my body and mind became even weaker. I almost succumbed to the extortion of those evil people. It was the Count of Marseilles who came forward—of course, he was just a brave young man at that time—and saved me, but he himself was stabbed in the palm of his hand. I took him back to the mansion to bandage the wound. I think he probably liked me at that time, but there was an age gap between us and I was a widow who had just lost my husband, so I was not in the mood to think about these things. He also restrained his love and solved various problems for me like a guardian and an angel. Even a heartless person would be moved by him. However, after getting over the sadness of my last relationship, I was hesitant and confused about my next one, but he waited patiently and accompanied me, so I was able to get out of the haze. " Shimana smiled: "But that's not the point, because what you want to hear is the story between me and Robbie, right?" The commissioner nodded. "Yes, the general framework of the biography and memoirs is enough. Please don't be surprised. In addition to your narration, we have collected a lot of information. Your visit is a supplement to the existing information." The countess's expression became serious: "That's good. I have only one wish: heroes should not be tarnished. Please be sure to preserve Robbie's honor and dignity." "I will." The commissioner took the writer away and when they got on the carriage, the writer suddenly disappeared, leaving only her dress on the carriage. "Thank you for your cooperation." The commissioner said with great respect. An invisible force lifted her wig, and her black hair spilled out. Annie took off her contact lenses and stretched. She teleported to the headquarters of the Church of the Holy Fool and took out a ball of ivory-white flame from her backpack. She placed the flame on the small hole at the bottom of the bag without attracting the attention of others. This is Sister Helena's left eye, or more precisely, a magical creation that acts as a left eye. For today's interview, the nun used its "recording" function. They had experimented in advance and found that Corneille could tell whether a person was lying from the images recorded by magic, so Anne personally played the editor-in-chief of the newspaper so that the props stored for the interview would safely reach Corneille's hands. "Well, let's see how much lies our dear Countess has told." Anne sat on the bench. "In my opinion, there are many inconsistencies in her story."
An hour later, Corneille's legs cramped. He stood up, wiped his face, and said, "In the video recorded by the nun's left eye, Shimanna didn't lie at all." Chapter 43: Magic Sister Helena covered her eyes, tears seeping from between her fingers. Although it was a magical creation, the pain she experienced when it was removed and re-implanted was no different from that of flesh and blood. Corneille was also suffering from the side effects of his supernatural powers. His perception was disturbed and he lost his balance and control of his hands and feet like a drunkard. The doctor helped him to the bench to rest. "Melucina, take care of him," Cecil said. Melusina helps her estranged sister to contain Count Marseille. The "Two-tailed Mermaid" confirms that at least part of Count Marseille's charm is made up of extraordinary power. Fortunately, the "Two-tailed Mermaid" is also a witch in the "Lovers" field and has a certain resistance to seduction, and Sister Helena also left insurance, otherwise the "Two-tailed Mermaid" would probably rebel against Count Marseille. Corneille's frail appearance aroused Melusina's pity, and she took care of him meticulously, like a little mother. After a while, when they had calmed down, the discussion officially began. "'Truth' ≠ 'truth'. People's subjective cognition is not completely equal to objective facts. I think you can understand this." Corneille said: "The problem is that her memories and Mr. Don Rodic's memories are two different styles, and they both believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are describing the facts." Anne thought for a moment and said, "Based on the information we have gathered so far, I am afraid the truth is closer to Mr. Tang Rodick's description. However, the woman that Shimanna mentioned, who was obsessed with and jealous of her, was ignored in Mr. Tang Rodick's description." "This is normal, because they are describing different topics. What is worth mentioning in one topic may not be worth mentioning in another topic." (Next, I, Miss Longueville and Mr. Corneille will be the mouthpieces, constantly asking the two about the details of their memories.) The next day, Sister Helena took the opportunity of psychological counseling to convey Shimanna's memories to Don Rodick. Don Rodick was furious and barely calmed down with the nun's consolation. "It's all lies from beginning to end!" Tang Rodick said: "We met when we were 5 years old? At that time, I was begging for food near their community. I was worried about the next meal, so I had no time to play with my peers. Besides, those people looked down on me and would throw stones at me when they saw me. Moreover, her family was much poorer than she described. I heard from people there that their family even planned to sell their daughter to a rich old man as a concubine. The so-called little dog has a bald head, cleft lip, bent bones, hypospadias...all the characteristics of the old man! Going to play in a birch forest together, kissing at the age of 9? Haha, when I met her, she was already 10 years old. The birch forest was far away from her home, and somehow she ended up there. She was lost in there, and I was stealing wood to sell for a living. She was afraid of me, and I was afraid of her, but she was pretty, so I made the mistake of talking to her. I led her out of the woods, and bade her keep my affairs a secret: she consented, and then gave me some coins, and said that I should not be a thief any more, but come and talk with her. She was so beautiful and gave me money, so I agreed at that time. Later, the birch forest became the place where we agreed to meet. She brought food and drinks and taught me arithmetic and literacy. I admit that I fell in love with her. Every time before seeing her, I would try to clean myself up as much as possible and never steal again. Compared to her, I am dirty, so when I face her, I feel longing and inferior. Later, after she got to know me better, she shared her story with me. Her family had always treated her as a commodity, and the most enthusiastic buyer was a bald old man who wanted to marry a woman to carry on the family line. She was the most beautiful girl in the area, so when the old man used his money to play with other women, he was always thinking about her. He would visit her home every week or invite her to his home. She was still a pure girl, but her reputation was ruined. Others said that she was ruined by an old man. The rumors reached her ears and she wanted to commit suicide, but she didn't have the courage to do so.
I couldn't bear to see the person I loved cry, so I did something stupid: without any plan, driven only by hatred, I went to kill that old man. I failed. That old man had a tool that possessed extraordinary powers. I fought him desperately, but I couldn't defeat him. In the end, I could only steal one of his collections and escape. " ('Sulena'?) "Yes, how do you know?" (guess.) "You guessed right then." Tang Luodike said: "I secretly came to Shimanna's house and asked her to escape with me. She refused. I could understand her, so I planned to say goodbye to her and run away. She asked me to wait for a while, and when I got back, she gave me a lacquer box, which contained all the money she had saved so far. She asked me to take the money and go out to make a living, and either forget her or come back to marry her after I became successful. At that time, she held my face, lips to lips, and the parting kiss was salty because I was in tears. " (After that, it’s up to you to come back and marry her when you become successful.) "Ah, relying on that shield, I fought for wealth and honor for myself. I did not forget the lacquer box and her feelings, and returned home to find her. Her situation was better than I thought, because the old man married a prettier and more elegant woman from another place, and after giving birth to a boy and fulfilling his wish to continue the family line, he was no longer obsessed with her. At that time, her family was planning to marry her off to another old man, but she insisted on waiting for me and was arguing a lot. I came to her rescue and bought her from her greedy family. After a short stay there, I took her back to my new home in Shwetipan, with her family shamelessly accompanying me, with whom I maintained a polite but distant relationship for her sake. After returning to the Holy Land, her friends expressed their disgust with the family, thinking that this was not a good marriage. Their objection was directed at her family, not her personally. Except for Selina, my best friend, comrade-in-arms who I can trust with my life, and also a witch from Wetbon, she told me one thing: Shimanna's body and mind are not clean. This became a haze in my heart. Selina was always right. Therefore, before the wedding, I asked a female doctor to examine Shimanna's body in the name of a physical examination. Physiologically speaking, my fiancée is pure, with no signs of being processed or repaired by any supernatural power. Shimanna's awkward reaction at the time of our marriage proved this point. Because of the thorn in my heart, I accidentally used too much force and caused her to bleed heavily... Although she later became a slut, at that time, I was the one who was sorry for her. For the first time, I began to doubt Selena. My comrade liked me, but I had already rejected her. Could she be saying bad things about my wife out of jealousy? Later in our married life, I gradually ruled out the suspicion that Shimanna had someone else in her heart, but Selena insisted that I divorce my wife. We had a big fight, and Selena left and disappeared. " Tang Rodick sighed: "Selina's departure alienated a large number of my old friends from me. Shimanna, that bitch, told the truth. She used some means to exclude them and alienate our relationship... The little dog behind and the admirer accompanying the widow are all nonsense. She cheated on her husband and kept a gigolo, and even got her pregnant. How could she write about such a thing in her memoirs? So she just made up a story!" (I understand your pain, but please be patient. Also, the doctor will come to draw your blood today) "That strange woman has already drawn three tubes of my blood." (She's researching what type of magic could have changed your sex, and testing the potency of drugs using your blood.) Tang Luodike's eyes lit up: "Can I change back?!" (Possibly, but not guaranteed.)
"That's great! I'm tired of this weak body. I can only use 50% of my abilities in this body!" The knock on the door ended Don Rodick's confession. She wiped her face and pretended to be stupid again. Sister Helena opened the door, and the guard of the commandment tower asked, "Sister, what is the situation of No. 96?" (She was strangely obsessed with the Duke of Toledo and wanted to give birth to a baby for him. I barely persuaded her to be a quiet and well-behaved girl so that she could please the Duke.) "This woman has caused so much trouble. And the Duke is the same. He uses us as a tool to gain points..." The guards complained as they escorted No. 96 back to her "luxury single room." Because of Corneille's "blame theory," they couldn't be too rough with Don Rodique, but in a remote place, violent abuse that would not leave marks on the body was happening. This scene was seen by Count Marseille and Warden Michaela at the same time. The former raised his glass and the latter sighed. "You have protected your old friend very well, respected warden Selina Michaela." Count Marseille said playfully, "But it seems that a little mouse has come to cause trouble. Pierre Corneille, can you deal with him?" Chapter 44: The Warden's Past Selina replied: "Corneille came here for the right reasons, and he is very powerful, so he can serve as a dividing line between the King of the Forest and the other witches. He is no match for any of the forest kings, but no witch below the forest king can defeat him either." Count Marseille laughed and said, "Kill Corneille? That's crazy. He has two divine weapons and at least three kinds of Hathor magic. Even Count Don Rodic died under his sword. How could I have such a dream?" "You don't have to provoke me. Count Don Rodick was once my good friend, but after knowing the truth, he is no longer my good friend." Selina said calmly. "Ms. Michaela, if I wanted to provoke you, I would bring up an old story: In 1224, the Commonwealth invaded Weite, and Irian Trastamara and the Kings of the Forest negotiated terms under which Weite would join the Commonwealth and become the country's tenth state. This was a premeditated merger, but it was not peaceful, because the kings betrayed the realm of 'Justice' and demanded that Trastamara's army destroy it... This was one of the conditions for Waite's merger with the Federation. Unaware that friendly forces would not provide reinforcements, the Justice Realm gathered under the command of Sabina, the King of the Forest, and fought a bloody battle with the invaders with no chance of winning. Fortunately, Irian wanted to preserve his strength and check the other forest kings, so he revealed the truth to Sabina. Sabina fled eastward in panic, and the field of "justice" changed hands. Although, the Trastamara family failed to keep the "Justice" field, it eventually fell into the hands of the Knights. However, this has nothing to do with you. Your relatives died in the war with the invaders. Those grand narratives and conspiracies have nothing to do with you. You just want revenge, so you ended your travels in the Federation and returned to your hometown to assassinate Irian. As expected, you failed and were sent to the Discipline Tower. You were supposed to receive "special care" to accelerate your death, but my father admired your courage and will after visiting the Discipline Tower and saved you. When the entire territory of Weite was pardoned in 1227, my father used his influence to add you to the pardon list. You were free, but chose to stay in the tower, and with the resources provided by my father, you rose like a rocket to the position of warden. Because you have a rift with the Trastamara family, the Three States Alliance has become your new friend. You are very close to them, but please also think about your old friends. " Selina smiled. She used to be a charming beauty, otherwise Shimana would not have regarded her as a competitor in marriage. But now, time has turned her into a fat lady. "You said so much, probably because you're worried that I'll threaten your future with the No. 96 incident." Selina said: "Mr. La Marche's idea is that the Three States Alliance conveys the threat to you through me - if you get too close to the royalist camp, the truth behind No. 96 will be revealed. You think that my acquiescence in the game played by Corneille and his companions, in contacting No. 96 and digging out her story, is a sign of threat. You are too guilty. My acquiescence is because the 'King' plan requires it, and there is no step in the plan to sacrifice or threaten you."
