Chapter 25 The Story of Ophinina and the Little Boy Back at the Duke's Mansion, Lear has little magic left. The feeling of emptiness brought by the exhaustion of magic power made him so tired that he went back to his room to sleep. The next day, he was awakened by a scream. Turning his head dazedly, he felt something soft and gentle breaking free from his arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw Milia's blushing face. Li Er woke up instantly, looked around, and then smiled, "Good morning, my princess." "Why are you in my bed?" Millia grabbed the quilt, looking like a beauty in a painting. Li Er shrugged his shoulders. He could guess the reason. Maybe he went to the wrong room when he came back last night. Who made their bedrooms next to each other? It should be normal for an unmarried couple to sleep in the same bed.
He smiled, reached out and pulled Milia into his arms, feeling the softness of the girl's body. "What are you going to do, you..." "Be good." Li Er grabbed Milia's struggling hand, "Let me hold you for a while." Hearing this, Milia was stunned for a moment. It was the same domineering tone again, just like before. While imprisoned, Lear never took her feelings into consideration and forced her to do all kinds of shameful things. But now, with the same overbearing tone, she could hardly resist it. During the days she stayed in the Duke's mansion, Ino told her a lot about Lear, and she got to know Lear better. Anyway, her body had been examined thoroughly, and only the last step was left to be taken. Fortunately, she had begun to accept her identity as the mistress of Stuart. Moreover, Lear is powerful and handsome, and, at least in appearance, perfect as a husband. Milia gave up struggling and her body slowly relaxed. Feeling the changes in Millia's body, Lear's mouth curled up slightly, and he lowered his head to rub the girl's long hair. It turns out that it’s not that difficult to win over a girl. Even though he had done something very excessive to Millia before, it would be easy for him to fall in love with her as long as he changed his attitude. Of course, the premise of all this is that you are strong enough and handsome enough. If it were in his previous life, he would be rich and handsome, and such a man would attract attention wherever he went. The two stayed in the room for a long time until there was a knock on the bedroom door. "Your Highness, your breakfast..." Ino pushed open the door and saw two people in ambiguous positions on the bed, and froze where he was. Soon, the little maid reacted, her cheeks turned red, then she turned around quickly and slammed the door shut.
…… While Lear and the little princess were developing their relationship, Ophénina stayed up all night. The image of the priest and the little boy hugging each other kept echoing in her mind, and she tossed and turned in her bed. "Your Highness, I have already found out about Father Colin. According to the child's confession, Father Colin bought him from his parents for one silver coin. We also found other little boys in Father Colin's home." “The little boys said that the priest would take someone to the cathedral every week for grace…” Mori came to Oufengina and read the information in his hand. He couldn't imagine that there would be such a person among the believers of the Golden Rule. Not only did you bring the little boy home, but you also went on to wreak havoc in the sacred Golden Cathedral, changing the one every week? If this isn’t blasphemy, what is? Even more disgusting than those pagans! "So, that dirty priest does this once a week?" Ophinina's tone became increasingly angry. "Yes, Your Highness the Saint." Mori nodded silently. He could feel that Ophinina was now like a volcano that was about to erupt. "Your Highness, I really don't know anything about this!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Bishop Gas stood up and clarified. Ophinina turned her head and stared at the bishop in front of her. It was only after a long time that she suppressed the anger in her heart. She was really disappointed with the bishop in front of her. Not only did a blasphemer like Father Colin appear in the sacred cathedral, but he even failed to notice the intrusion of pagans. This was a serious dereliction of duty. "I hope you really don't know. If you and that priest are both blasphemers, I will purify you just like I purified the priest." Ophelia said coldly. The bishop's expression became a little stiff, and he could only nod awkwardly. "That's it, then. You go contact the royal family of Brefil. I've already told you the purpose of my coming here this time. The corrupt sect has fled here, and King Brefil is also a believer in the Golden Law of the Holy See. This cleanup mission requires the cooperation of the royal family." Ophinina waved her hand and sent the bishop away. The bishop responded and retreated with a sense of relief. Watching the bishop's back as he left, Ophelia had already labeled him incompetent in her mind. If this bishop cannot demonstrate convincing achievements in the next campaign to clean up corrupt sects, she will need to consider whether a new bishop should be transferred from the Imperial Church. …… He cultivated his relationship with Milia in the morning, spent half a day in the study in the afternoon, and went out again in the evening. He didn't want to work, but the Golden Rule affinity he gained last night gave him an idea. Maybe he could get Ophelia's Golden Rule affinity just by sitting at home. "Jingle Bell!" The bell on the door made a crisp sound. Lear pushed open the door of the newspaper office and walked in. "Excuse me, can I publish articles here?" Lear asked in a deep voice as he walked to the front desk of the newspaper. The newspaper employee raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with a strange expression. Although the climate in the royal city is about to enter winter, the person in front of him is still a little too dressed. He was wearing a coat, a top hat, a scarf, and even a pair of sunglasses, making it impossible to see his appearance at all. “Excuse me, can I publish an article here?”
Seeing that the newspaper employee was looking at him without saying anything, Lear repeated it again. The newspaper staff finally reacted and stood up from their seats. "Sir, of course you can publish the article, but if you want to publish the article in our daily morning newspaper, you must review it. Can you show me the article first?" Li Er nodded when he heard this and took out a stack of papers from his storage ring, which he had prepared long ago. Seeing Lear take out a piece of paper out of thin air, the staff's attitude changed. Those who can afford storage props are either rich or noble, usually aristocrats or professionals, and not ordinary aristocrats or professionals. He respectfully took the paper handed to him by Lear, and when he saw the title of the article, he couldn't help but be stunned. The title is: [The secret that Ophinina has to tell] Turn to the next one: [The story of the heretic nun Ophinina and the little boy] The staff flipped through all the articles, and they were all stories about a nun named Ophinina from a heretical and corrupt sect. Something like nuns like little boys, nuns like to use various punishments to torture civilians, and so on. This is the result of Lear's busy afternoon! "How about it? Can it be published?" Lear asked. "Sir, it can be published, but we're afraid we can't give you too much in royalties." The clerk looked at it carefully. The writing style of these articles is pretty good. I think some people will like them if they are put in the novel section. Moreover, they are stories that expose heretical sects, so zzzq is very important. "Well, and there are so many articles here that I'm afraid we can only pick out a few," the clerk added. Li Er shook his head and took out five gold coins from his storage ring. "I'll pay you five gold coins. I don't need your royalties. I hope these articles can spread throughout the royal city within three days." The employee was a little dumbfounded. It was the first time he heard that one could publish an article without any payment and had to pay for it out of his own pocket! And five gold coins? The newspaper's annual income is only this much! "Sir, are you serious?" the clerk took off his glasses and asked tremblingly. "Of course, if you can spread these articles throughout the royal city within three days, these five gold coins will be yours." Lear nodded. "Please be sure to give this task to us!" The staff member excitedly shook Lear's hand. …… (End of this chapter)
